Angel In The Club

CHAPTER 39

After she embarrassed myself at the skating rink and dropped square on my butt, Jareth rushed to my aid and helped her up like the knight in shining skates he was.Her leg started to hurt pretty badly and we decided it was time to leave. They took a taxi and headed to the club hoping that Damian hadn't went looking for her as yet.

When we arrived at the club she went to where she left the girls and realized that they were not there. It could be that they were off in numerous rooms with different clients for the rest of the night. She sat at a private table at the back of the room with Jareth as we went over some of the new developments that were taking place in the investigation. She gave him the latest recordings on a thumb drive that she had accumulated.

Britney told him about the porn thing that would commence tomorrow in the club. He said she should keep him posted as soon as possible. They sat down for a few more hours until Jareth said he had to go home because he had work in the morning. Before he left though we had a long and romantic make out session

that set my loins on fire.

Soon after he left the girls appeared, followed by Amanda and Damian. Amanda with her perfect curls ruffled and out place and Damian looking like he was higher than the clouds. She braced myself for the screaming that she was sure would proceed or his physical assault but none came. He spoke normal and everyone acted as if nothing went wrong. This reaction was even worst than what I expected. It put me on edge;anxious that probably he had something more revengeful up his marijuana scented sleeves.

************************************

She was awaken by my growling stomach the next morning as she looked over at Courtney's bed and saw that she was already up. She checked my phone and saw a text from Kevin saying good morning. She texted him back and sent a quick message to her mother as well just letting her know she was fine but extremely busy.

Britney went downstairs to the kitchen where the indistinguishable smell of beacon sizzling in a pot perfumed the air. She entered the kitchen to see Amanda around the stove while the girls were all  dressed in what some people would refer to as 'Sunday best';nothing casual. They had on floral Maxi dresses that covered their knees and their tresses were pinned in elegant up dos that made them look like decent Catholic girls.

Damian definitely looked decent in a  long-sleeved dress shirt that looked like it would cut your fingers if you got too close to it. He obviously ditched his distressed jeans and white t's look today, but why. Everyone eyed her and she looked right back at them, my confusion shining like a beacon on her face.

Damian looked up from the screen of his phone and crooked a long, bony finger in my direction beckoning me toward him. This is it, she thought as she swallowed hard and dragged my feet towards him. She stood at a safe distance from him so she wouldn't fall totally useless to any spontaneous attacks that he wanted to pull off.

"I want you to be on your best behavior today because someone special is coming over and I don't want you being your usual bitchy self. Okay, so just keep that under a tight seal, got that?"

He said pointing his twig at her.

"Sure, whatever." She huffed annoyed.

"I'm not joking with you and if you think I forgot about last night, your wrong.I'll deal with you tomorrow. Now go and make yourself less indecent and tie up that bird nest that you have loose."

He said while getting up from his seat at the table and going over to Amanda,dismissing her like a pest.

This strange attitude with Damian was mind-rattling.He was still a signature ass but he seemed more pensive and fussy. He was dictating to Amanda on how she should fry the beacon. He even laughed with her and rubbed her arm affectionately at the stove. It was strange to see this side of him. I'm sure it's how a volcano looks when it is dormant and about to erupt;calm and unpredictable.

She hurriedly made by way upstairs to take a bathe and get ready for the mysterious person he was pulling out all the stops for. It probably was some sweaty, perverted investor that was funding his disgusting porn venture being that tomorrow would be the launch.

After she came out of the bathroom from her well needed bathe, she entered the room with a towel wrapped smuggly around her body. She reached up on tippy toes as she reached for her wedge heels on the top of the closet. All of a sudden she was frightened by someone scratching their throat. She turned around so quickly the towel unraveled from under her arm and fell half way exposing her naked body. She looked up in mortification and was met with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes,that she hadn't seen friendly in over a span of a month.

"Hi,sorry I scared you there."

"Hi, it's okay. I'm sorry for flashing you."She said while frantically adjusting the towel. She said in a high pitched voice.

"I just want to apologize for being so bratty and stuck up for the last couple of weeks. It was stupid and childish of me. Is there anyway you can forgive me?"

"Sure, I understand. I forgive you." She said grateful that they could stop avoiding each other.

"Are you serious about that. Are you really going to forgive me after all those nasty things I said to you? I feel so awful for what I said." She said.

"Yes I'm serious,I forgive you. I get it you felt threatened and that's just human nature. When we are accustomed to a certain amount of attention it can cause us to become defensive."

"I guess that was what it was but I shouldn't have let my stupid feelings cloud my judgement in dealing with the situation like an adult. I see the error in my ways now."

"Yup, you normally see mistakes when they are viewed in retrospect."

"I guess your right."Courtney said.

She smiled at her and came up close enough so she could smell her perfume. She opened her arms to her and she stepped into her embrace. It lasted for a few breaths but it was the most comforting makeup hug I've ever gotten. They released and she went back to sit on her position on her bed.

"I also came here to give you a heads up on who it is that will be coming today."
