The Girl In The Dirty Shirt Noel Version

Chapter 123

He smiled at me. "Y'heard me, she's my fiancée, not my girlfriend" he paused "Y'jealous?"

I scoffed handing him the clean shirt. "No"

"Y'are too"

"I'm really not" I looked up at him from the bed. "Can you hand me a clean onesie from the diaper bag?"

He dug in the bag. "Which one?"

"any one"

He tossed me one and smirked folding his arms.

I frowned looking at him.

"What?"

"So y'ain't jealous...at all?"

"No," I laughed shaking my head "I want to know how it went, tell me"

"How what went?" He frowned

"How'd you propose idiot?!"

"Oh, funny story, that"

"It's a funny story?"

"Yeah," he nodded "Was that night Man City got their arses kicked, was drinkin' enough t'have my stomach pumped y'know?"

I nodded "Not the best feeling in the world"

"When did you 'ave your stomach pumped?"

I shrugged picking up Jack "After we got divorced"

He nodded.

"So you got drunk and proposed?"

He nodded "Pretty much"

"Classy, Liam" I rolled my eyes "At least you were sober when you proposed to me"

"She didn't take it seriously until the next morning anyway"

"So you asked her twice?"

He nodded "Thought it'd be a good idea"

I nodded pressing my lips in a hard line as he followed me back downstairs.

"All better?" Mom smiled

I nodded sitting back down next to Noel handing Jack to him.  "How's Sally?"

"She went to lay down, you know how she gets"

I nodded

"Does she get sick a lot?" Nicole asked

"It's only really bad if she sees someone else get sick." I answered

"What about the night she 'ad a bad trip, I ain't ever seen somebody get that sick"

I closed my eyes chewing on the inside of my cheek and cursing Liam to the seventh circle of hell.

"When she what?" Mom asked looking at me.

I just looked at her and Liam spoke before I could.

"Ooh Mam dinnit know 'bout that did she?"

I sighed biting my lip harder and shaking my head.

"Delyla, can I speak to you in the other room please?"

"No..." I muttered

"Now"

I got up and followed her into the kitchen already preparing to cut her off as soon as we were out of earshot of everyone else.

She turned on her heel, her eyes blazing with anger. "Delyla Rose, I can't believe you!" She yelled through clenched teeth.

"Mom, it was years ago!"

"Wonderful, so she was even younger than she is now!"

"We took care of her!" I yelled "She's fine, she WAS fine, I wouldn't have let anything happen to her mom, she's my sister!"
