**********************************************************************************
Tiffany went to bed early that night with a full stomach and a smile plastered across her face. They had ate at a wonderful Italian restaurant and now were officially in a relationship. She laid in bed with a dreamy grin, lost in her thoughts. She couldn't stop the bubbly emotions rising within her. She giggled softly to herself and held the sheets up to her chest. For the first time in years, she was happy. She had the man she wanted and now Melody was ok. They had informed Darius that she could go home in a couple of day because they wanted to watch and see how she would do. Tiffany sighed as she rolled over on her side and kept thinking about Darius. Before she went upstairs to her bedroom, they had kissed and made out in his car. She wanted to go farther, but he had said tonight wasn't a good time to do so. She had just gotten out of the hospital and he said he wanted her rested up and well in the morning. She had agreed, seeing his point and wished him a good night before going to her room. She had to admit, she was worn out. Closing her eyes, she relaxed even more. She felt like she was laying on a soft cloud. In her old apartment, the bed had been firm and springy, but this one was big and so soft. It was just right. She fell asleep with a smile on her face, dreaming about Darius.
Tiffany woke with a yawn and slowly opened her eyes. Sitting up, she looked around her new room and then stretched. Today she would go and see Melody. She needed to see her, but first she wanted to see Darius. She got up from the bed and got dressed, pulling on a pair of shorts and a black tanktop. Good thing was, she didn't need to go to work for a couple of day since she was just discharged from the hospital. They told her that she had a week off. That meant she had time to sort things out and get her life on the right track. Tiffany went downstairs into the kitchen and smiled when she saw Darius sitting at the table sipping at a mug of coffee while looking a newspaper over.
"Hey." He said as he glanced up at her.
"Hey, morning." She sat down across from him.
"Got any plans?" He asked.
"Yep, I want to go see Melody."
"Ok, I can take you. Let's go out to Lunch after."
"Ok."
Francis brought out Tiffany a plate of two sunny side up eggs, bacon and a split muffin with blueberry jam. He also handed her a cup of milk and asked if she would like a cup of coffee. Tiffany told him that the milk was enough. She ate her yummy breakfast and sighed with satisfaction once she was finished. If she wasn't careful, she would get fat. After breakfast, both Tiffany and Darius got their things together and headed out to his Lamborghini. Being the gentleman he was, he opened the passenger door for her and let her slide in. A kind man was always attractive, especially Darius. If only all men were like this. They stopped by his clinic and entered. Beth was looking over a magazine at the desk and looked up. Her expression immediately brightened up once she saw them.
"Tiffany, it's been awhile! How are you?" She came around the counter and confronted her.
