As Long As You Need

43-Well That Went Well

"What happened?" Noah asks looking between me and Delilah. 

I look over at Delilah giving her a sympathetic look before. "Does he know anything?" She whispers to me and I shake my head. 

She looks at Noah, "I am divorcing Matt." His shoulders seem to relax slightly, "Really?"

Delilah nods, "Yeah Bailey is going to come with me when I tell him."

Noah's body stiffens, "No she isn't." I glare at him, "Who said I'm not?"

He gives me a challenging look, "Me I said it. I don't trust him Bails, I don't want you going there alone. What if something happens to you?" He looks almost scared so I drop my defensive tone. 

"Nothings going to happen to me ok? Delilah is just going to talk to him and I will be there for support."

He looks as if he's thinking things over in his head. "Ok."

I release a breath but Noah isn't done, "Only if I can drive you guys there."

Quickly I shake my head, "Nope."

"yep." He challenges me.

"No." I grit my teeth.

"Yes, you can go if I drive you."

I groan, "I think that's good idea." Delilah says from beside me. 

Great she's on his team. 

"Please Bails, I'll wait in the car." He gives me the puppy dog look. 

Delilah shifts next to me, "I think it would be a good idea, just in case you know he does get mad." She says looking at me intently.

Sighing I cave, "Fine but only because Delilah wants you to be there." He grins taking my hand and pulling me so I am standing. 

Planting a wet kiss to my cheek he whispers into my ear, "I love when you argue with me." And he wasn't kidding I can feel his boner against my thigh. 

I smack his arm, "This is not the time Noah." I mutter looking over to Delilah.

She is already standing her phone in her hand, "He texted asking where I was, he's at the house." I nod and look over to Noah giving him a soft smile. 

I know why he wants to be there. He has decided to go all caveman, mama bear when it comes to me. Honestly it's kind of sweet. 

We pile into Noah's car. Delilah sits in the back and I sit in the passenger seat. Noah reaches over intertwining our fingers, laying our hands in my lap. 

"You know I always knew the two of you would finally stop dancing around all that sexual tension and get together." Delilah says from the backseat. 

I turn and look at her eyes widening as I hear Noah choke on a laugh. 

Delilah feigns innocent, "What Bailey it's true don't deny it. You've wanted him to dick you down since you learned what that meant." My cheeks flame in embarrassment. She so did not just say that. 

Leaning back with my other hand I pinch her arm making her wince, "Bitch." I say and she laughs. It's honestly good to hear her laugh though. 

"Aww Bails I'm touched, if it's worth anything the feeling was mutual." Noah says reminding me he heard what Delilah just said. 

I turn back to the front, "Shut up." I grumble turning the music up. 

A few minutes later we arrive in front of Matts house. The fun light energy that filled the car moments ago has been replaced with silence and tension.
