Our Song ON HOLD

23. Tug of War

Damian POV

"Alright you get your stuff together and then meet me outside at the car" I say softly kissing her forehead, her nose then her lips allowing the last kiss to linger a moment before breaking apart from her.

"I won't be long" she smiles at me "go get the engine running"

With one last smile I leave the hotel room and head out to the car. When I get there I find Delilah waiting for me and to my displeasure Cal leaning against my car.

"What happened?" Del asks as my eyes firmly fix on Cal

"She's fine, we're fine" I say "she's packing her stuff and she's coming home with me"

"I'm glad you guys sorted things out" she says before turning her back to Cal and looking up at me "what do we do about him"

"Leave him to me" I say looking down at her patting her shoulder. As I step around her and return my gaze to Cal as I walk towards him.

"Get your filthy ass off my car I just had it cleaned" I growl and he instantly moves away from it

"Easy buddy I wasn't going to damage it" he says "I know you said she was coming home with you but I think you're mistaken she already said she would come home with me"

"No you heard right" I say standing my ground "my fiancée is coming home with me"

"Fiancée? She would never agree to marry you not after the way you hurt her" he says " and besides how do you know if you can give her what she wants? She only has so many chances do really want her to waste them find out you can't deliver"

"For your information I'm perfectly capable of giving her what she wants" I say getting in his face "after she told me what happened I had myself tested, I wanted to be sure it would work because I didn't want her to waste the chances she had. I love her and I would do anything to make her dreams come true"

"If you love her you will admit that you are no good for her" he says jabbing my chest with his finger "you and I both know you've hurt her once and you will do it again. You'll row and use her situation agaisnt her just like you did before. You know I'm right so let her go"

"You're wrong" I say "yes I made a mistake and said something in anger but I will never do it again. You need to back off, accept she doesn't want you and let her live her life with whomever she chooses"

"You say that like it's so simple" he says "I've been by her side since the accident, I saw her car get hit by that drunk driver and I saw it roll over and over. I know exactly what she went through, what she lost and I've been there for her through everything. I can't just walk away because I care too much......."

"Wait a second" Delilah says storming over "you just said you saw the accident happen, but you told Libbie you came across the wreckage on your way home.......I knew it......you've been lying to her.......you know who did it don't you?"

"I didn't tell her I'd seen anything becuase I didn't think she would want to hear about it or relive it" he says " and as for who did it I have no clue"

"Guys here she comes let's leave it there" I say as I watch Libbie walk towards us

"She needs to know" Delilah whispers

"Not until we know everything" I whisper back

"Hey you ready to go home" she says snuggling into my side as I wrap an arm around her

"Absolutely mi amor let's go" I say guiding her to the passenger seat

"Sweet cheeks wait.......I thought you were coming back to North carolina with me" Cal calls out

"I never said that" she says "Cal Damian is the one I love, the one I want........you need to let me go this isn't healthy" she says before getting into the car

As I walk around the car to get in the drivers seat I smirk at Cal who narrows his eyes at me.

"She'll come back to me, you'll see" he says

"Mark my words" I say getting in his face "I'm going to find out the truth about you and when I do she will never want to see you again" foe the first time as my words sink in I see fear in his eyes and I know there is something he is hiding from her.

Getting in the car I start the engine and pull away from the hotel and head back towards our house. I look over at Libbie and she smiles softly at me. I lift her hand to my lips and kiss is gently.

"I love you" I say softly

"I love you too" she says before looking down at the ring sparkling on her finger "this seems so crazy, it's so fast but yet it feel absolutely right"

"I know what you mean" I say "but we have plenty of time to get married, there's no rush. We can focus on having a baby and then think about getting married"

"Sounds like a plan" she says "you know it could take some time right"

"I know and we have plenty of time" I smile "we will get there I promise, no matter what it takes"
