Darkened Angel- Chapter 23

Chapter Twenty-Three

    I got dressed in a backless tee that Darius got me when we were shopping at the mall. Keith even had that designer friend of his to fix my pants. I smiled as I looked down at my favorite pair of jeans that fit me even more perfectly than before. The designer even added a bit of fabric for a more modesty and comfort. The boots were awesome and sexy looking.

    I walked out feeling like a million bucks. “So... What’s going on in the world?” I asked as he was sitting on the couch reading the paper.

    He tilted up and I leaned on the back of the couch looking a bit over his shoulder. “Nothing much, but we got in the paper.” He turned the paper to the front page and there we were on half the page staring at each other with Mark in total disbelief directly behind us. The headline read: Mark Darlene Tries to Trick Ex Back But Fails.

    “I like that picture. Very poetic.”

    “The photographer sent me copies of the pics he took that night. I’ll show you each one later. He got amazing angles.” He turned the page and showed me another picture of us dancing. Darius was pressed against my back with his hands on my hips. His knee was between my legs with my tail flicking away from him. My head was back because Darius told me something funny and I was laughing. Darius had a major grin on his face.

    The phone rang and Darius hopped up while I had the paper in hand reading. The second he said hello he yanked the phone away from his ear. “YOU ASS!!!” Keith’s voice screeched from the phone.

    “I think you should take the call.” Darius begged with his eyes at me.

    I set the paper down and went to the phone. “Told you.” I kissed Darius before I took the phone from him. He rolled his eyes at me and walked back to the couch. “Hi Keith.”

    “Don’t ‘Hi Keith’ me little missy. Do I need to come over there and spank you? What are you thinking hooking up with Darius? You know he is just going to break your heart.”

    “You worry too much. I had lots of fun last night going out clubbing with him. He got me to do moves I didn’t know I could do. Don’t freak out. Please just be happy that I am happy. More than happy for once in my life.”

    “But have you thought about what would happen if things didn’t work out with you two? I don’t want to have to help pickup the pieces again.”

    I sighed than jerked sideways when Darius took the phone from me. “Keith. I love Patience and am not letting her go anywhere unless she wants to go. I’ll even put it in writing that I’m in love with her.” Darius smirked as he handed back the phone. “I think I shocked him into silence.”

    I raised my eyebrows. “Keith?” I asked innocently.

    “I must be hearing things. No way did Darius just confess that he was in love.”

    I smiled knowing that he did. “He actually did.” My cheeks were red. I heard the clatter of the phone hitting the floor. “Keith?”

    I heard rustling sounds and then his assistant came on. “Hey Patience. Keith is in shock. We’re taking him to the break room to try and fan him before his client gets here.”

    “Okay. Hope he will be okay.”

    “He’ll be fine... Was that really you in the paper? As soon as Keith saw it he said he was ripping Darius a new one for working his charm on you. Are you really a creation now?”
