Delilah POV
~~~~~~~~~

"I can't believe we did it in my car." John mumbles while we fix ourselves up.

Well, I couldn't hold back anymore. So we.... Yeah. In his car.

I just couldn't stop myself. He's so sexy and I just wanted to do him so bad.

I laugh. "Yeaahhh... You can't tell anybody ! Especially since we're not together." I mumble the last part.

"Aren't we ?" He asked.

"What ?" I say confused while strapping my bra and putting on my crop top.

"Together ?" He says nervously. I look over to him. "You- you want to b-be with me ?" I stutter.

"I thought we already are together. I mean, we just did it in my car." "True." I mumble myself.

"I really want to be with you John. God, I really do. Like, words can't explain how how much. But I don't want to rush you into something you don't want." I whisper to him. "I- I think I'm finally ready. To be committed to you. Fully and truly."

Tears form in my eyes. Finally. The day finally came.

"Yes. I'll be your girlfriend." "I wasn't asking yet. When I ask you, it needs to be big. Everybody needs to know."

"Everybody ??" I choke out. "Yeah. Unless you want to keep it a secret." He frowns. "No. I've waited too long for us to be a secret again."

"So I'll ask you another day. Maybe a more appropriate time." "What do you mean more appropriate ?"

"We're finally getting together. You're finally gonna be mine and I want it to be a huge thing, cuz it is. You're my world Delilah. Without you, I don't know where I'd be right now." He mumbles. "What do you mean ?" I say, feeling dumb for not understanding him.

"If it wasn't for you, I don't think I would've pushed myself on basketball and football as much as I did. I pushed myself because you were always there, waiting for Tyler and I wanted your attention. I wanted you to watch me at the games and practices. Not Tyler."

"Oh." I say.

Then we begin to go back to my house.

"Did he hurt you in any way...?" He whispers while staring out the windshield at the traffic. We don't live that far from school, but me and John wanted extra time together. So he's taking me out to eat.

I look at the wrist he squeezed and sure enough, a purple bruise was forming.

I try to hide my wrist by putting my other arm over it. "N-no." I say.

The traffic stops and he turns to me. "Then let me see your hands." He says and holds a hand out. I hesitantly place my good hand in his hand while leaving my bruised wrist to my side.

"The other one." He whispers when he looks it over. I shake my head with tears forming in my eyes. "Delilah. Let me see it." He says softly with pain and worry in his eyes.

I slowly place my bruised left wrist into his hand and he gasps. "He could've broken your wrist. He could've broke a nerve, snapped a vessel, pop a vein or something ! What the fuck was he thinking ??!" He screams.

"I- I don't kn-know." I whisper while 2 tears run down my cheeks.

"Babe, I'm sorry. I just...he could've really hurt you and I don't want you hurt. I'm gonna protect you now. You're mine Lilah and I lo-"

He gets interrupted by cars honking their horns. SERIOUSLY !!??

This is the worst time for them to be impatient.

He clears his throat and continues driving to Red Lobster.

When we get there, he opens my door and I smile at him while he wraps his arm around my waist. We walk in and ask for a table for 2. We get seated immediately since there were a few tables available.

"Hello, my name is Samantha. I'll be your server for today. May I have your drink orders ?" She says while staring lustfully at John. I lower my gaze in sadness. He's probably gonna start flirting with her in front of me.

"Yes. I'll have a Dr Pepper. And my girlfriend here will have a mixture of Dr Pepper, Root Beer and Cherry Coca Cola." He says while weapon an arm around my shoulders.

She glares at me and writes down the order. "I'll be back with your drinks and biscuits."

"Oh, and bring a lot of biscuits. We're hungry basketball players." He grins at her. She fakes a smile and walks away.

"You're too much John." I say and bury my face in his neck while he wraps his other arm around me.

"I just really really really like you. And you're mine." He whispers.

"Ahem. Here are your drinks and 3 baskets of biscuits. Are you ready to order your main course and/ or appetizers ?"

"Yes. For appetizer, 2 orders of mozzarella sticks and another basket of biscuits. She'll have the Crab Linguine Alfredo and the Bar Harbor Lobster Bake. I'll have the Ultimate Feast, Admirals Feast and Snow Crab Legs with extra garlic sauce and a block of mozzarella cheese." He smiles.

"Okay. I'll bring that right over." She mumbles and leaves.

"You remembered my favorite foods from here ?" I beam. "Of course." He smiles.

After a while our food gets here and we wolf it down. Literally wolf it down.

When we get home, I unlock the door and see the person I never wanted to see again.

A/N: so took a while, but I wanted to get out another chapter for you guys 💘 you deserve it for the long wait before.
