Desire Of The Heart

Chapter 9

Keon haven't slept at all. After what happened last night with Paris. How could I let jealousy get the best of me. I can't believe I did that to her. She probably hates me right now. This is too much, she haven't been here that long. Keon takes a long shower to get his mind off his actions. Meanwhile Paris is very upset at Keon. A part of her is happy that he is jealous but the way it went down, was not expected. Paris lays in bed all morning. Just thinking about all the drama in a life at the moment. Paris why are you still in bed, it's 2:50 in the evening. Get up girl, don't sleep your life away. Paris rolls her eyes. Mom please! I need to lay down I'm to stressed at the moment. Mrs Hatch laughs, what can you possibly be stressed about. You have no problems at all other than what to put on each day. Paris starts slowly crying. If I could tell my mom I would, but hey what's the point. Her mom sees her crying. She sits on the bed next to Paris and run her hand though her hair. Baby what is wrong did something happened that I don't know about? Paris thinks about what she gonna say to her mom. Not really mom I'm just trying to get use to this school and its hard. I really miss my old friends. Well baby I understand that, but baby you made two friends that i know of so far. Which are Nisha and Keon. Just take it one day at a time baby it will get better. Paris sighs, yep i guess. The day goes by and Paris been in PJs all day long. She picks up her phone and go to her contacts. She strolls down to Daruis name and wonders if she should call him. Before she knows it she calls him. The phone rings and rings then goes to voicemail. Paris hangs up. She decides to get up and get in bath, after her long bath, Paris and her mom goes to the grocery store." Paris here, you take the list and go get all the sides and I already know what meats I'm going to get", her moms says. Paris goes and gets the Mac N Cheese, Red Beans, Rice,Hamburger Helper and Cornbread mix. She tries to reach the box of Hamburger Helper. "OMG! Why is it so high", Paris says. As she reaches up to try to get it, a hand comes above her and grabs it for her. She looks back and there's Darius smiling at her. "Here u go Paris, is this what was trying to get". Thank you Darius but I think I had It. Really Paris cause from here it looked like you needed some help. Paris sucks her teeth. "What's wrong did I catch you on a bad day, if you want I can put it back so you can get it", Darius asks. No I'm sorry I'm just not having a good day, Paris says sadly. Well do you want to talk about it, I see you called me. I couldn't get to the phone and answer, but I'm here now. Can we talk? I can't right now, I'm here shopping with my mom, so can I call you later. Darius puts his hands in his pockets and give her a smile. Yes we can talk later, I would like that. Paris heart melts while she walks to find her mom. She smiles to herself. She founds her mom smelling some bell peppers. "Paris smell these peppers, don't they smell fresh"? Mom I don't know just buy them are we done I'm ready to go. After eating dinner, Paris cleans the kitchen while her mom goes get ice cream. She sits on the couch and decides to call Darius. She takes a deep breath then calls.
