I'm Not Daria
Sloppy

STILL POV DEVAN

Daria and I used one car and her parents used another.

Anna decided to stay home and we agreed that going to a party was not a good idea because Gio would be there. Although they had to talk about everything, Daria felt that they both needed time and I agreed with that.

Diamond Goerge has just opened its first IT company. She is the daughter of one of my father's business partners and Daria's father, Lucas George. His launch party was a reason for his company to seek out investors and clients who offered opportunities for others to do the same, which is why his party was so important.

We arrive at the venue flooded with paparazzi more than ever because there are rumors that Diamond's sister who is an actor will be present with her secret boyfriend who is not a celebrity.

I saw Daria shift uncomfortably in her seat as the paparazzi pointed their camera beams at our glass windows. They wouldn't be able to see us, but somehow Daria seemed agitated.

I squeezed his hand saying that everything would be fine. Paparazzi are not allowed in and only a few photographers and reporters from several media and newspapers will be present and their main focus will be Diamond, her sister, and her sister's boyfriend.

As we stepped out, he looked calm as he watched the reporters restrained at the gate.

We soon entered the party venue and soon found myself immersed in conversations with friends and other prominent businesspeople. Unfortunately I had to part with Daria, I felt guilty for leaving her even though it was the night of my date with Daria, but at least she won't be alone because soon I see her talking to Bella and Luna. From what it looks like, it seems like this is a pretty serious conversation and Daria looks upset.

I wanted to come over and ask if everything was okay, but another group of parents who were important to be on good terms with me caught me and I didn't want to look disrespectful, so I politely held a conversation with them. As parents, they couldn't stop talking and made my patience run low.

When I finally finished with them, I frantically went to look for Daria but she was nowhere to be seen. It's been a while since I last saw him and I just hope he doesn't get in trouble.

I keep looking for him. Even Bella and Luna have disappeared, so I can't ask anyone about her for just seeing her talking to those two people. Suddenly I felt a hand grabbing my arm, I was pulled into the shadows away from the party. When I looked down, I saw Daria laughing. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Where did you disappear to?" my question, calmed him down when he almost tripped on his high heels.

"I'm bored.I thought to the dining room. Have you finished socializing?"

Something is wrong. She did not look as upset as the last time she saw him with Luna and Bella "Are you okay?" my tofu, my,

"Oh my god" he stumbled and I knew the problem. He was drunk.

I wrapped my arms around her waist to keep her standing.

He blinked at me. "Are we going to dance?" She grabbed my other hand and tried to get us to dance but I didn't budge so she awkwardly tried to make me move.

"What?" He's riled

"How much do you drink?

His forehead wrinkled because he thought. "about two glasses?"

"That's not much. Since when did you become a boxer, your strength has been so strong?"

"When I don't become what makes you all believe that I'm a champion." He said out loud, attracting the attention of some of the people who were there.

"alright. Maybe I should take you home."

He shook his head. "I need to tell you something". I knew it was something important and serious

"I can wait until you get home. Actually I can wait until tomorrow. You're obviously not in the right condition to tell me anything"

"No, I've kept it for a long time and don't want to run away from the truth anymore."

"Aa-a-a-a-a-a-a-ku"

He suddenly stopped what he was about to say.

Her eyes widened and before I could ask what had happened, she pulled me for an unexpected kiss

I immediately withdrew reluctantly, "Daria, something is wrong, you why?. What are you saying?"

He didn't look me in the eye. "can't. I can't."

Her lips met mine again and her lips were as passionate as our morning kiss and it scared me. I gently pushed her away

She seemed heartbroken at my rejection and she stepped away from me. "I-I need some fresh air. I'll talk to you later."

Before I could stop him, he darted out of there in the dark and a few seconds later I didn't know which way he was going.

The party went on as usual. I did a quick scan and Daria wasn't there.

I saw Bella and Luna in the corner there talking to the diamond but I didn't get close to them because I thought they wouldn't know where Daria was going.

I walked out because he told me he needed some fresh air.

There was a commotion outside the gate and I went to check.

The paparazzi were still camping outside and they went wild towards someone because I could hear a dozen clicks every second and loud talk When I got to the gate, finding that their center of attention is none other than Daria

"Aaa-there's Daria Daralyn?!!!" He shouted and as a reaction, there were dozens of other clicking sounds. He's sniffing.

"Daralyn's missing daughter. I was the youngest naughty boy. I'm the girl who tried to buy a boy from my class" She's crying right now.

"I was the most annoying girl in my school, I was good at arts and academics and had the best family in the world, but I still ran away" She was stuck in between her cries. Her eye makeup was dilapidated and it was clear that she was drunk .

"But I'm not drunk." He added in a whisper that I was sure no one could hear him but me.

Feeling that she was going to say something she would regret later, I pulled her back. They got a glimpse of me and I'm pretty sure they got at least some of our photos

"Daria! what have you done?! This is not the way disclosure should be"

"I'm sorry." He wailed.

"I really need to take you home. Your father won't be happy with what just happened, but we'll think about it tomorrow"

I led her to my car and we got home early, told her parents she wasn't feeling well and I had to take her home. It took some time until the news reached them.

He fell asleep in the car and when we got home, I carried him into my arms and took him to the room. I took off her high heels, saw some bruises below and I massaged her for a bit.

She curled up on her warm pillow and I sat down next to her for some time, only to see her sleep soundly. I smiled and put a few kisses on her forehead.

"You almost revealed your true identity, Miss Darla Daralyn," I whispered in her sleep form.
