Chapter 19

The fact that Darius called me his Angel left me rattled even after we left his home. I hated hearing that nickname as much as I’d missed hearing him call me that. It was more outrageous that he asked me to apologize to Dasiy over an offense I didn’t commit. I found it hard to swallow.

Once-Reina and I arrived at my mom’s place, I left them and went into my old bedroom to sleep since I couldn’t do that at night. Still, it was difficult to sleep. I couldn’t bring myself to close my eyes without hearing Darius’ voice in my head calling me his Angel. What was he doing to me? Why can’t I get over the thoughts of him? Why is it so difficult to not think of him. for a few minutes? I needed my beauty sleep but now, the man of my nightmares had imbibed my sweet dreams and turned it into no dreams at all.

Shit!

After tossing and turning for several minutes to no avail, I got up from the bed to join my mom and Reina as they built their princess castle. She wants it to look like Darius mansion but everytime they got it wrong, they had to start all over again. I think I wouldn’t be saying it enough that although Reina looked like Darius, she was a mirror of my mom; a perfectionist.

We left there by evening to join Haley and Charles for their movie night. Charles had picked us up at my mom’s place because he believed we wouldn’t find the doctors’ quarters that easily and boy, was he right?

“Welcome to my home,” Haley threw her arm around my neck as soon as we stepped on her front porch. It was almost as if she was waiting for us by the door to get there.

“Thank you for having us.” She waved me off and focused her attention on Reina.

“Hello little Reina,” She bent down to Reina’s level so she could talk to her. “Nice to meet y for a handshake and Reina took it with a smile!

“Hello,” She replied in her tiny, cute voice.

you,” She stretched out her hand

“Aww, she’s so cute,” Haley gushed. ”

“I’m Haley, and you have such a beautiful name, Reina,”

“Thank you,” Reina looked up at me and I gave her an assuring smile.

I’m so sure she was loving it in the pack and that was the only reason why I hadn’t regretted my decision of stayin The smile plastered on her lips hadn’t left since we were forced back here. The light in her eyes was shining bright brighter each day and 1 loved seeing her happy.

“Can we come in?” Charles groaned impatiently. He was a big guy and acting that way seemed kind of cute. He was than he looked though.

“Yes, Mister,” Reina took Haley’s offered hand and we all walked into her apartment. It was a small, beautiful space. It wa close to the type of house I’d always wanted to have. I felt so happy for her and jealous at the same time. Somebody I mi be able to own a house like this and design it the way I want.

“You have a lovely place,” I complimented.

Thank you but you should see Charles’ space. It’s unbelievably perfect. He designed this place by himself anyway.” That was almost unbelievable. A big guy with a soft heart.
