ROMEO (book 1)

47. DELILAH

Romeo slides his hands down my pants as soon as i wake up. I pull it away. "You said we could continue this." He kisses my shoulder.

"Changed my mind. Get off me." I move away.

He sits up, i hear him get out of the bed and he walks over to me. "What's wrong?" He crouches.

I close my eyes.

"Delilah."

"Just fuck off, Romeo." I cover my face with the blanket.

He pulls the entire blanket off the bed.

He's never doing any of that stuff to me ever again.

Ever.

I enjoyed some of it, hated most of it. I wish. I really, really wish I did enjoy it because I know he enjoyed it. He enjoyed it a lot and I like what he enjoys.

But i have never felt more dirty in my life.

"I'll come in in 20 minutes."

I keep my eyes closed, he didn't leave for a good five minutes. I just stay in bed. My legs are sore.

Twenty minutes pass and he walks in, "Come on, Delilah. We need to do stuff today."

"Im tired."

"I don't care-"

I open my eyes immediately, "Fuck off."

He smiles softly, "Sorry, baby. Come on." He pulls me up off the bed, "What's going on, hm?"

"Just leave me alone-"

"You're always preaching about communication, my love, talk." He holds my face in his hands.

I hate disappointing him.

"I don't like what you did to me. Most of it. I didn't like it. I never want to do it again- and I don't want to wear that maid outfit again." I look in his eyes and watch as the softness in them fades.

"Very well." He lets go of me, "I have to go to work."

"Romeo-"

"No." He shakes his head. "Delilah, I asked if you were okay with it because i knew this would happen. I know you-" He cuts himself off. "Look, let's not argue about this."

"I'm sorry." I hiccup.

"I'll be home later on." He kisses my cheek, then walks away.

Now I think he hates me.

i just end up sobbing on the floor for a good couple of hours until the door opens. Matteo sits beside me right away, "What happened? Who do I need to fight?"

"There's something wrong with me, Matty." I rest my head on his shoulder.

"There's nothing wrong with you."

"Yes there is." I mumble.

He comforts me.

I like that he just hugged me. He didn't force me to talk. He just held me. Sometimes, all I want is to be held.

When I've calmed down, I shower again. I hardly ate yesterday so sticking my fingers down my throat didn't bring much back up.

I was brushing my teeth when the door opens and Romeo walks in. He looks at me, but walks to the toilet.

I wash my face, then I leave.

Matteo had left too.

I take a deep breath and start cooking, Romeo likes food. I'll make him something.

He pokes his head from the bedroom door, "Im bathing."

I nod my head.

He walks away.

My phone starts ringing a second after and Romeo's name pops up.

I answer it, holding it to my ear.

"Delilah?" I hear Malory.

My heart drops.

"Delilah... hello??"

"Malory?"

"Romeo left his phone at the strip club." She tuts, "You should come get it."

"I'll let him know once he's done-"

"Lilah, have you seen Kelly about?"

"No."

"She's just gone missing and no one can find her. She's a bitch, we know that, but no one deserves death." She sighs, "Anywho, you know Romeo's passcode is your name? How cute is that?"

"So cute." I clear my throat, "I'll let him know when hes done." I hang up.

I look at the food I'm preparing for us.

I finish making it all even though I know once I tell him his phones in the strip club, he's going to leave and probably not return.

He walks out of the bedroom with his hair a mess, "You seen my phone?"

"No." I bring the two plates of food to the couch, "I made curry."

"Looks great." He helps me bring everything over. "Look, precious, can I eat it when I get home? I need to find my phone."

I sigh, "It's in the strip club."

He kisses the top of my head and walks away.

So I leave it too.
