ANGELA

Throughout the next day. I had nothing to do. I had to rearrange and arrange Reina’s room and mine so many times I could feel my body going sour. That was what I wanted, anything to keep me from reminiscing my moment with Darius yesterday. Anything to stop the s*upid tingling sensation I could feel in between my legs. Anything to stop the images that came to my head every time I closed my eyes,

My body ached for Darius in a different way that I couldn’t seem to comprehend. While I waited for Reina to get back from school since Darius promised to pick her up. I tried to keep myself busy. I also made a mental note to ask Darius for help when they got back I need to find a job or something to keep me busy within the pack so I can stop thinking about sex with Darius

Last night, for the first time in a long while. I slept without nightmares. I forgot to use my pills and I was surprised at how easily I slept like a baby. It was the best night of my life. Although it was without mightmares, it was filled with dreams of Darius taking me everywhere my imagination could run wild.

That should be considered nightmares too right? I guess it’s not guess it’s a different type of dream that keeps you wanting the same man for a whole day.

I stood up from cleaning the floor of my room and took a good look around the place. Maybe Darius was right, the place does need a feminine touch. It was too plain. Maybe if 1 started decorating it the way I wanted. I would have less time to think about Danus

When Reina got back from school, she threw her hands around my neck with that surge of energy and I managed to hold my ground

“Hey, mama,”

I kissed her cheeks, giving her repeated kisses that sfer now calls Kiss attack. “Hey, babes, I missed you so much,”

“We went for burgers. Uncle D took me,” She happily announced

I looked behind her to see Darius wasn’t there but I knew he brought her home. “I tell him thank you when I see him,”

“Unde D is the best in the whole world”

What! I almost exclaimed Just because he got you burgers, he’s the best in the whole world. Girl, please? I wanted to say bi I stopped

“I guess so. You didn’t get me anything, did you?” I poured, trying to make a joke of the moment before I opened my mouth and said something st*pid. A box suddenly met with my check turned to see it was a burger and I looked up to see it was Darius holding it

“We got one for you

“Yes, mama. You should try it. It’s driacious” She began struggling with the burger to opegar for me. I helped her and also

same time. I guess she didn’t need my help for that anymore. She was becoming too independent and it scared me.

“She acts just like you,” Darius interrupted. If not that he said these words, I wouldn’t have realized he was still in the room.

Yeah! That was a lie. I was more conscious of his presence behind me now. His scents seemed to be everywhere I went to and I wanted more and more of the scent. It was becoming intoxicating and I was also supposed to hate it.

He walked closer to me and slid his hand through my hair. I held his hand and looked up at him to see him staring at me. He kissed my check. He kissed my forehead and it felt good. I let out a deep breath I didn’t know I’d been holding. My body relaxed as if his touch was what I’d been waiting for all

my life.

“I missed you,”

He confessed. He placed his forehead on mine. “Well, bad for you, I didn’t miss you,” I lied. I squeezed my toes inside the socks I was wearing to stop myself from tapping my feet against the marble floor.

“It’s okay. That’s fine with me. As long as you’re always here when I get back, you can hate me all you want. I’ll take it, I deserve it.” He said.

I didn’t say anything back. He was still so close to me that our toes were less than an inch from each other. I held his flannel shirt and found myself leaning into him to listen to his heartbeat. It was weird but it was something I used to do before he left me. I just wanted to see if it was still as peaceful as it used to be. I wasn’t disappointed. It was. I could beach just listening to his heartbeat.

“Reina told me about the plans for the movie night,” He murmured. “I already told you not to go,” I scoffed, removing my head from his chest. Talk about peace.

You have no right to tell me how I should live my life,” I argued

My words seemed to have taken him aback. He straightened his shoulder, frowned, and scrutinized me. “Your curfew starts at 5:30pm. That’s the punishment I promised the elders to give you,” He commanded.

My eyes widened. “You will do no such thing.”

“Watch me, Angela,” He threatened. “You’ve left me with no other choice. Don’t try bringing out the demon in me”

He walked out of the room just as Reina walked out of the bathroom. I wanted to go after him but at the same time, stay with Reina. I chose my daughter.

I ended up not being able to attend the movie night. Reina was disappointed but didn’t show it. I, on the other hand, pissed off so bad. I had to call Halle and Charles to lie and tell them I wasn’t feeling too well. They promised to resche

A small knock resounded on my door. I stood up from the bed to see who it was. It was Darius. I muttered a f*ck it befo opened the door.

“You can attend as many movie nights as you want but can you promise to always come back to me after?”
