Serendipity

Delilah{104}

I was trying to avoid eye contact with Cleo. I was hurt and just wanted to go home. She came up and asked about the series. I tried to keep my response short as possible. She grabbed my face and made me look at her. Soon as I seen her face the tears came.

"Baby..." she said softly

I couldn't. I snatched my face from her, grabbed my purse and went outside. I heard her behind me but I kept walking. She grabbed me and turned me to her. I looked at her.

"Delilah stop. There's nothing going in between Hazel and I. When I say nothing, I mean NOTHING. Yes, I did have sex with her once. I was blackout drunk. I don't even remember it, all I know I woke up and she was beside me naked. After that she won't stop. She keep popping up on me. Baby I swear it's nothing going on between her and I. Delilah I don't want nobody but you. I just want you..." she said looking in my eyes

I didn't know what to feel right now. I just wanted to go.

"I wanna leave..." I said

"Okay, we can leave..." she said

"No, I wanna go to the hotel. I wanna be alone..." I said looking at her

"Okay..." she said softly

Everybody got in her truck and she took us back to the hotel. I was first to get out but she grabbed me. I let out a sigh as I closed the door back. Everybody got out and she turned to me.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I should've told you about her. I was so excited to see you that it slipped my mind. I should've told you so you could've known. Delilah I promise there's nothing going on between that girl and I..." she says while holding my hand

I was silent for a while.

"I hear you..." I said

"Delilah please..." she said

"Cleo give me time. I need to time to get my head together..." I said

"Okay, take all the time you need..." She said rubbing my hand with her thumb

We sat there for minute in silence as she rubbed my hand. I decided it was time for me to head up.

"I should head up..." I said gently pulling my hand away from her

"Can I walk you to the elevator??" She asked

"Sure..." I said softly

She got out, opened my door and I got out. She held my hand as we walked to the elevator.

"I'm sorry for ruining your night..." she said softly

I looked at her and became soft.

"You didn't ruin my night. The situation ruined my night..." I said softly squeezing her hand

She pulled me closer, hugged me and kissed my forehead. She pressed the elevator button. After a few seconds the door opened.

"Goodnight..." she says as I stepped on the elevator

"Night..." I said before the door closed

I got to the room, knocked on the door and Bri answered with a towel wrapped around herself. I came in, she went back in the bathroom to finish her shower. Once she got out, I got in, bathe and stayed in for like 30 minutes. I got out, moisturized myself then put my night clothes on. My phone buzzed and it was Cleo. I sat my phone down and got in bed.

"I ordered pizza..." Bri said

"Thank God..." I said making her laugh

"So, what happened between you and Cleo??" She asked

"Once y'all walked about off, Cleo and I was talking. We heard her name being called. In walks ole girl with the ginger hair. She was calling Cleo baby and shit. You know me I'm like the fuck. So I stood there and watch them interact. Cleo wasn't expecting or excited to see her. Cleo is like, "what are you doing here??" And she was like, "I told them you were my girlfriend and that I came to surprise you and they let me in..." She even tried to kiss Cleo but she dodged it. Can't lie shit hurt my feelings cuz it like you being kissing on me, pillowing talking and got some other bitch claiming you..." I said

"So, what's going on between them??" Bri asked

"According to Cleo, one night she got blackout drunk and she ended up having sex with her. She said she don't remember anything but all she know when she woke up ole girl was naked. She said now ole girl won't leave her alone..." I said

"What you think about it??" She asked

"I mean I believe Cleo. She's never lied to me and I'm sure she's not lying about this situation. From the way it was looking, Cleo was not happy to see her. Plus she was talking and following up behind me while ole girl was there..." I said

"Yeah I was thinking that same thing . She's was trying talk to you, grabbing your face and calling you baby so obviously ain't nothing going on with them..." Bri said

"Yeah..." I said leaning back on the bed

"So where do y'all go from here??" Bri asked

"I don't know. I'm going to be with her but I just don't know how we going to get back into what we had going after tonight..." I said honestly

"Just sleep on it. Maybe you'll have it figured out by the morning..." Bri says and I nodded

The pizza got here, Bri and I went down to the lobby to get it and the guy gave us a free drink. We went back to the room, watched a movie and ate pizza. After eating, we watched another movie and Bri ended up fall asleep in my bed again. I didn't mind tho cuz I missed sleeping beside someone. My phone started buzzing. I looked at it and it was Cleo. I answered and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hello..." I answered

"You okay??" She asked

"I'm fine..." I said

"You bout to go to sleep??" She asked

"In a minute. Bri and I just ate pizza. She's already sleep..." I said turning to look at Bri

"Can I talk to you until you go to sleep??" She asked

"What you wanna talk about??" I asked

"I don't know, I just wanna be on the phone with you..." she said making me smile

We stayed on the phone and talked until like 2 in the morning. After we go off the phone, I plugged my phone up and went straight to sleep.
