damn friend, too. What was wrong with him?!
When they got to Kicker’s Dani went straight to the bar for a drink.
Donna touched Dani’s arm, “ What are you doing? Don’t you wanna scope out the club first?”
“No, I want a drink,” Dani said. “ God knows I can u se one right now. ”
S he laughed as soon as the words were out of her mouth. For all she knew ‘ God ’ really did know she needed a drink.
“What’s so funny?” Donna asked.
“Nothing, ” Dani laughed. “I’m just glad to be out and about. ”
“What can I get for you?” the bartender asked.
“Jack a nd Coke on the rocks,” Dani ordered .
“I’ll take a Jack and Coke , neat,” Donna said, and then turned to Gabriel. “What do you want, Gabriel? The first round is on me.”
Dani was sure that G abriel would say he didn’t consume alcohol , so she was shocked when he actually ordered a drink.
“I’ll take a Jack and Coke as well, then,” Gabriel said.
“Should you be drinking?” Dani asked when Donna started talking to the man next to her.
“Don’t worry about it, ” Gabriel said. “ I’ll be fine . ”
“If you say so,” she said.
When they got their drinks, Dani looked around the bar for a vacant table. She spotted a booth in the back and went to grab it before anyone else could claim it. She looked back over her shoulder after she sat her drink down, expecting Donna and Gabriel to be behind her, but they weren’t.
She finally spotted them slow dancing on the dance floor. Donna had her arms draped around Gabriel’s neck, and he had his arms around her waist. They were slowly swaying to the music. Dani didn’t like it at all, but she didn’t know why. It just felt wrong somehow.
She should have known that Donna would be attracted to Gabriel. Why wouldn’t she be? Gabriel was sexy as hell; even more so because he didn’t seem to know it, or to care. He'd been made by God’s own hand, which explained why he was so beautiful. Actually, he was more than beautiful; he was perfect. Any woman in their right mind would be attracted to him.
But she didn’t care for the way Donna was clinging to him. It was Da ni’s fault for telling Donna that Gabriel was her cousin, but she hadn’t known what else to tell her. She’d known Donna since she started Cosmetology school when she was eighteen. She couldn’t have passed him off as a friend , because Donna knew all of Dani’s friends.
And she couldn’t have told her that she’d just met Gabriel, because Donna knew she’d never let a man she ’d just met into her house. Their only option left was to say he was a relative she hadn’t seen for a long time, so she’d gone with he was a distant cousin that had come in for the funeral.
She could have told her the truth and said he was the Archangel Gabriel, here to protect her against the rising of Lucifer, bu t Donna would have thought Dani had already started drinking.
She felt sorry for Gabriel, though. It had to be uncomfortable for him to have Donna hitting on him. He’d said that angels didn’t mix with humans like that. Though, he didn’t look all that uncomfortable with his arms around Donna’s waist like they were.
“Would you like to dance, Dani?” a man asked, startling her.
It was a guy Dani knew; she’d even danced with him before. She remembered his name was Ethan.
“Sure, Ethan, that’s what I’m h ere for,” she said, and let the man lead her onto the dance floor.

Gabriel hadn’t wanted to dance with Donna, but she’d insisted. He’d resisted by telling her that he didn’t really know how to dance, but she’d just laughed and dragged him onto the dance floor anyway. Short of pushing her away from him, there wasn’t really anything he could do about it.
Gabriel tried his best to not to watch Dani dance with the man he’d seen standing beside their table, but he couldn’t stop himself. He saw the man slide his hand down to the upper curve of Dani’s behind and
