my minds been on Xavier ever since he asked for my number. i cant get him off my mind. part of me wants to cuss him out when he calls me for taking so long, but the other can't wait to hear his voice. chill tab you have a man. how could you possibly think about another? i thought to myself. sure Darius is the pure definition of asshole but i still love him. ughh i was acting like a little girl and overthinking things.
two weeks have gone by, and me and Darius have been fighting nonstop since he got back from his business trip. its getting ridiculous. but on this Friday night we have to plaster smiles on our faces for this banquet the firm is having.
we were now getting ready, i was applying my makeup in the bathroom, when Darius came in. "tab can you do my tie?"
"sure." after i finished his tie, i looked at him to see if he would compliment my dress or my figure. i got nothing.
"what damn?" wow what the fuck?
"nothing."
the whole time we were at the banquet all i could think about was Xavier. why hadn't he called me yet? i was getting anxious as hell. Darius then walked up to me and gave me my glass of wine. "thank you."
he then wrapped his arm around my waist and whispered in my ear. "i really want you tonight, ma." i kinda blushed because his lips brushed against my ear lobe.
before i could respond, his boss walked up to us. "Darius, beautiful lady you got here." i smiled politely.
"Mr. Roberts, nice to see you again." Darius's grip on my waist got tighter.
i looked at him confused before Mr. Roberts spoke again. "well you guys enjoy your night."
after that Darius, took me to the small dance area they had, and pulled me close, i guess so he could whisper something to me.
"ain't nobody tell you to say shit, he was talking to me." i thought about my reply before i opened my mouth to speak.
"you act like i can't talk, or speak my mind, im not a fucking puppet ya know." his mood swings were really starting to get under my skin.
"aight, just wait till we get home." i kinda had an idea about what was going to happen. but i was just hoping i was wrong.
after we danced Mr. Roberts made his way to the small podium for an announcement. me and Darius made our way to the table and sat down.
"good evening, today we are handing out surprise awards to staff of "Roberts and Finch." he announced the staff and presented their awards.
surprisingly, Darius didn't win anything, but if you saw how him and Mr. Roberts interacted, you would think he would have won at least two. i could tell Darius was beyond upset.
on the way home from the event, the ride was quiet. Darius didn't say one word to me. even when i said he'd definitely win something next time. when we got to the house Darius unlocked the door. he let me in the house first. as soon as i heard the door close....
sorry for such a short chapter...
