The Sky Box

"Damn, this is some fancy shit" Darius exclaimed after getting off of the private elevator that led to the stadium's V.I.P Skybox area.

Nia rolled her eyes at his response as they made their way down the hall. Darius worked the front desk to a hotel and resort that Nia and her husband frequented. She loved his flamboyant and bubbly personality as soon as she saw him. They seemed to click almost instantly. She decided to keep him close knowing that he'd possibly be beneficial to her one day. That day came sooner than she had expected, when her son had a football game and she couldn't get a hold of her husband.

It was Darius who had a hand in helping her track him down by going through the resort's system and secretly giving Nia the number to the room he was staying in with his pick of the week. As a thank you to Darius for his sacrifices, she decided to take him on an all expenses paid outing followed by an invitation to watch the game from the sky box. A prime view that he wouldn't have been able to experience had it not been for her. Nia's only hope was that he'd be on his best behavior. Once they were outside she turned to him.

" On the other side of this door are families of the players, team personnel, celebrities, corporate clientele and etcetera so please-"

" Okay, bitch I get it. I won't embarrass you now can we go inside already? I have missed my man long enough" He said eagerly.

" Your man?" Nia repeated.

" Girl, Kelsey's fine vanilla chocolate ass. Hello, I didn't wear this jersey for nothing" He said pointing to the number eighty seven on his red, white and yellow shirt.

" See, that's what I'm talking about. Don't come in here with all of that" Nia said, pointing a stern finger at him.

" OMG, relax, girl. Pull the stick out ya ass. I know how to turn my ghetto on and off when necessary. Let's just have a good time "

Nia cracked a wide smile as she twisted the knob and they both strolled inside. The room had about fifteen people inside. Some of them were dressed in Atlanta teams gear while others rocked business casual clothing. In one corner of the room there was a private restroom and on the other was a mini bar. There were small tables that sat throughout the room and special seats were lined up in front of the huge glass window for a better view of the game. A small spread sat not too far from the bar with a few food choices on it. There were menus placed on top for anyone who wanted to order options. After going to the bar to grab drinks they went over to join Kenya and Destiny.

"Hey Girl" Destiny said, causing Kenya to turn around.

The three of them embarrassed one another. Darius stood by smiling awkwardly waiting to be introduced. Kenya wanted to know who the hell he was and why he was in their sky box wearing the opposing teams gear. Shit like that had to be bad luck. He had only been in the room a second and already one of their players had gotten sacked. It has been a stressful evening so far. Atlanta versus Kansas City aka their hometown team. The team Aaron used to play with before they sold him off years ago. He knew some of those guys personally and it always seemed to bring tension onto the field. It didn't help that both teams were good. They were currently out there giving the best performances of their careers.

After introductions were made Kenya and Destiny had warmed up to Darius. He wasn't half bad. Nia said he was like the male version of Destiny and now it was hard for Kenya to unsee it since they had a few similarities. Their personalities and mannerism were so similar it was like having two Destiny's. They kept Nia and Kenya entertained with their shenanigans throughout the game, laughing and talking about people. No one in the room or out on that field was safe from their jokes. Everything was going well until Darius peeped Margo coming through the door. He quickly nudged Nia to get her attention. When she looked up they made eye contact. Nia wished that didn't happen because now it looked like she was moving in their direction.
