Chapter Fifteen
We finally finished our gelato and left the shop. Darius took me around the city on his bike and showed me everything as if I had never lived here before. He showed me things I had never gotten to see before. I always wanted to, but never got the chance to see.Darius parked in another parking garage and pulled me to the main city park. I think he was having fun dragging me around places. As soon as we reached the grounds of the hugh park, he put his arm around my waist and slowed his pace. I snaked my arm around his and we just walked.
“So...where do we go from here?” I asked looking up at Darius.
“What do you mean?” He looked confused. He pulled me down on a nearby bench.
“I don’t know how you feel about being with me. I still don’t know very much about you. All I know is that its so easy to be around you. You’re fun, exciting, funny, kind, and everything I feel I have been searching for. But I’m also afraid.” I leaned my head on his shoulder as he soothed my arm.
“We can always take it slow and learn more about each other. I never had a serious relationship. Only ever had a girlfriend for no more than a few weeks.” He tilted my chin up. “I’ll admit I’m scared too. Scared that I’ll do something wrong. I’m not scare of the feelings I have for you. Watching Darien and Angel these passed two years, I’ve learned that those feelings are a gift. I think its also what changed me. I can’t see women like I used to.” He sighed. “I guess thats why I hadn’t had anyone for a while. It just felt meaningless.” He stroked my cheek with the back of his hand. “I feel like I have been searching for you all my life too.”
I sighed and snuggled up to Darius’ chest. The soft breeze was nice, but I really wanted to get this cloak off me. “Do you mind if we go back to the apartment? I really want to get out of this cloak.”
“Sure.” Was all he said as he rose from the bench and we walked back to the garage with me leaning on him. In such a short time, I have become used to the feel of riding behind him on his bike. The almost feel of me being at home when I feel the heat of his body against mine. Could I really have found where I belonged? Where I have wished to be for so long?
I sighed when I took my cloak off at the apartment. God I had been burning up in that thing for so long today. “Wonder how mad Mark is and how curious? He knows I have black wings and my hair is still black.”
“He can wonder all he wants.” Darius walked into the kitchen and retrieved two cokes from the fridge. “Like you said, he had no right demanding anything of you.” He sat down with me on the couch and handed me one of the cokes. He chuckled and shook his head. “I was startled a bit when you grabbed your helmet out of my hand, but relieved you wanted to leave right then and there.”
I shrugged and then wiggled my eyebrows at Darius. “I am your girl now.” He chuckled at me.
“Does that mean I can have the right to kiss you?” He leaned closer to me as I blushed and nodded. “Good.” He pulled me closer slowly and kissed me. It was a soft and loving kiss. I moaned softly and felt the hum in my chest. How did I not feel that before? How could I not have felt my purr the last time?
We groaned when the phone rang. Darius got up and answered it. “Yeah she is right here Keith. Safe and unharmed. Hold on...” He rolled his eyes and held the phone out for me. “Keith for you.”
I got up and sat on a barstool as I took the phone from Darius mouthing ‘sorry’. Darius shook his head and gave me a quick kiss. “Hey Keith, what’s up?”
