Darius felt like things were going TOO well with Becca. It had been over a month, she was officially his girlfriend, and he hadn't managed to scare her off yet.
To be fair, he had done everything he could to ensure things stayed that way. She hadn't even been to his apartment because he knew she would want to meet Fluffy and he had been afraid to mention he was a snake.
Becca liked cute things. She was a huge fan of her brother's long-haired cat.
She would probably scream when she saw Fluffy. That was the standard reaction. Either screaming, looking at him like he was crazy, or both.
Darius knew he couldn't avoid having her come over forever without her getting suspicious and thinking he was hiding something from her. She hadn't shown any signs of suspicion yet but it was only a matter of time.
