Chapter Six

In the shower, Darius frowned. The sound of David calling him ‘uncle’ was unexpected, but no more than the way the words felt so good. What was this woman doing to him? He liked his life uncomplicated. Good intelligent conversation and great sex was all he expected from the women he was involved with. He did not want anything to do with their home life, private lives or relations. Sara had been in his life for only a week, and he was allowing children to invade his well-ordered home. With a deeper frown he determined that she would have to go, tonight he would have her leave. Yet why had the sound of ‘uncle’ been so damn good to his ears, and why was the thought of her gone so bad?

As a surprise for David, Darius organised to visit the home of a friend of his, another soccer star. David’s eyes had been wide as Jim Jones - the goalkeeper for the league leaders - insisted on giving the small boy both a signed ball and a team top which swamped the child. He chatted happily with Sara, flirting with her, his eyes admiring the beautiful blonde. Darius watched carefully, frowning softly as he realised that he, Darius Garelli - a man who never let any woman get to him - was jealous. She on the other hand seemed completely oblivious to the attention being paid to her, turning at one point to mouth a thank you to Darius, this simple action causing a strange knot to tense in his stomach.

By midday they were once more home, Sara scowling as she checked her phone over and over again. As 12:45 came and went, she phoned her mother and sister, her teeth savaging her lips, whilst trying hard not to allow David to see anything was wrong. Darius knew that she had an appointment later that day, giving her a reassuring smile as he advised her just to reschedule. She however, looked panicked at just the thought. “N...no...I can’t...I have to be there”, her hand nervously passing over her forehead. “I have to be there”, she repeated.

At 1:15 Sara was close to tears; anger and desperation written on her features. Darius took her hand in his. “Look...just cancel, I am sure that your appointment is not so important” Her eyes flew to his, a strange light within them. “Yes...it really is” He gave a frown. “Why? Who are you meeting Sara?” Her eyes dropped as she shook her head, “I ...I can’t tell you” Darius felt anger as she refused to tell him. He was sick of this secret that he allowed her to keep; it was time for the truth. Raising her chin with his finger he was surprised to see the small tears which gathered on her lids, the anger melting from him instantly, surprised even more by his words.

“If it means that much, go. I will wait with David” Sara stared at him, her eyes full of hope and thanks.
