Delilah

30-The Speech

Cole's POV

Delilah and I are currently on her bed having the hottest make out session of my life. 

I am in just my sweatpants and boxers, and she's just in this hot as fuck black lace set.

She's currently straddling me as our mouths move in-sync my hands on her hips, her fingers running through my hair. 

Nipping at her bottom lip she lets out a throaty moan. 

Suddenly someone screams. 

it's not me or Delilah.

We both whip our heads towards the door. A petite brunette stands there, her mouth open and eyes wide. 

A guy stands behind her, he doesn't seem fazed in the slightest. 

She turns placing her hands over his eyes, "There are impressionable mind here." The brunette declares turning to look at us. 

What is happening right now?

The guy behind her chuckles, "Come on Bails you know what we do in the bedroom is way worse." She gasps smacking him in the shoulder. 

Quickly she turns back to us, "Get dressed, then we are having the speech." She turns back around and opens the door. 

The two of them leave as I hear the guy mutter, "Why do we never do it in your dorm?" The girl just groans. 

I turn my attention to Delilah, "Who were they?"

She's currently pulling on shorts and a t shirt, "Umm well that was my best friend Bailey and her boyfriend Noah. I guess they came in a day early." 

Standing I put on a shirt before helping Delilah fix her hair. Once it's neat she opens the door letting them inside. 

The brunette looks me up and down. Not in a 'checking me out' kind of way but more of a 'I will find out all your secrets'. 

A shutter runs through me. 

We make it over to the beds. Delilah and I sit on Jasmine's bed next to each other. 

The guy I now know as Noah sit's on the other, Bailey sitting on his lap. He wraps an arm around her as she leans in to him. 

Delilah was right they are disgustingly in love.

Her eyes never leave me, honestly it's quite unsettling. 

She takes her eyes off of me for a moment, when she looks over to Delilah they soften, 'Does he know?' She mouths and Delilah nods her head.

Now her gaze swivels back to me, "What's your full name?" She asks not a hint of humor in her tone. She means business.

I shift uncomfortably, "Cole Aaron Kenneth." I say and she nods her head slowly. Her boyfriend looks like he's trying to stifle a laugh. 

"Ok, Cole Aaron Kenneth. How old are you?"

"Twenty Four."

"What are you studying?"

"Nothing, I'm not in college." Her brows raise, "How did you meet?"

"My brother's birthday party in August. He goes here."

"Is it serious?" She asks and I furrow my brows, "Is what serious?"

"This relationship. Is it serious?"

I don't even hesitate, "Yes it's serious."

Not even an ounce of doubt in my words. Delilah is the best thing that has ever happened to me. She's it for me, even if she doesn't realize.

Bailey sits up, still in her boyfriends lap. "Ok I guess you are worthy of the speech."

"Ooo I am so ready to hear this." Noah says from behind her. 

She clasps her hands together setting them on her lap. 

"Delilah is my best friend you will remember that." She says sternly, "I know you know what happened to her senior year. You might not know this but I can throw a killer punch."

"It's true." Noah says, his eyes filled with pride. She looks up at him for a brief moment and smile, before turning her attention back to me. The smile wiped off her face. 

"Now you seem like a good guy Cole, and Delilah seems happy. No she definitely is I can tell. And if she is happy then so am I. But you listen good. You hurt her I don't care if it's just with your words I will track you down and make regret the day you were born. Capeesh?" 

The looks she is giving me would scare even the devil. 

I nod, "I would never hurt her." I say and the look in her eyes tells me she believes it. 

Honestly you would think walking into this conversation you would be walking out scared of the 6'4 football player. Not the petite girl wearing a shirt that says "Dog Mom." and socks with zebra's on them.

She smiles standing up and wrapping her arms around me, "Good cause I can tell she really likes you." Something of relief washes over me. 

Hopefully cause I am crazy in fucking love with her. 

The guy behind her stands too holding out his hand, "I'm Noah." He says and we shake hands.

"Oh and I'm Bailey, you better not forget it." I laugh nodding, "Noted."

Delilah stands as well, "Bee I thought you weren't getting in until tomorrow."

Bailey shrugs, "We were able to leave a day early. Luckily we did, I sooo knew you were dating the guy from the band." She says hugging Delilah, "You were all 'we're friends.' Sure friends my ass."

Delilah breaks away, "It was true at the time Bee." She rolls her eyes, "Sureee."

"Want to grab dinner?" Delilah asks and Bailey nods.

Delilah grabs her stuff and we head out of the dorms. 

Once we get to the small diner Delilah and I sit on one side of the booth while Bailey and Noah sit on the other. 

She catches Delilah up on everything happening in California. Bailey is honestly pretty funny once you get to know her. I can see why Delilah is friends with her. 

Then Delilah starts telling her everything that's been going on. 

"You performed One direction at her birthday?" Bailey asks and I nod. She smiles, "You're a cool guy Cole."

I don't know why her approval matters to me so much?

Hell yeah I do, she's basically family to Delilah. I now have the two closest people in Delilah's life approval and damn does it feel good. 

"Oh Dee you and me girls day tomorrow." Bailey says excitedly and Delilah smiles before turning to me, "You have that thing with River tomorrow right?" She asks and I nod. 

Delilah doesn't know it yet but River and I are in the midst of something. A surprise for her. 

She thinks it has something to do with me doing River a favor, but he's the one doing a favor for me. 

I really hope she likes it. 

We finish dinner and Bailey and Noah head back to their hotel.

Bailey gives me one last 'You hurt her I hurt you.' before they get into the car and drive off. 

Delilah and I head back to her dorm. 

"You excited for tomorrow?" I ask and she nods, "It feels like I haven't see Bailey in forever."

I know how much she misses her family and I also know why she can't go back home. I can't blame her, what she went through. If I ever saw that guy he would be dead. 

She rests her head on my chest. 

"I love you Cole." She says and I plant a kiss in her hair, "I love you Delilah."
