Saturday November 1st 1am
"Shall we go to my house"Delilah says as I carefully stand close enough to catch her if she falls as we walk to the carpark "sure" I say ordering the taxi to take us there. "I'm sorry I'm making you waste today looking after me" Delilah turns to me in the back of the taxi. "It's fine Delilah it's not a waste you need looking after" I tell her and she slowly nods as if I might be convincing her.When we arrive at Delilah's house she lets us in and turns to me awkwardly "I'll get you some clothes to wear and then I'd really like a shower" she rubs the back of her neck and I nod "cool and yeah I would like some clothes" I laugh a little looking down at my short white dress it looks a lot like the one Delilah has on now I think about it. We go upstairs and Delilah gives me some joggers and a hoodie before leaving her room to have a shower.
Left in Delilah's room I look around it. You can tell a lot about her from her room it's a lot like her. She has a double bed with blue sheets on it, a neat and organised desk and her walls are covered in posters space, volcanos, cute animals and pop stars stare down at me. I sit down on the edge of the bed ( Harry styles smiles at me from the opposite wall) but needing the toilet I awkwardly look around the corridor for one. Unable to find a large sign telling me where to go I try first one door which reveals another bedroom presumably Delilah's parents and then another which I see a sink in.
I enter the bathroom and round the corner next to the sink in search of the toilet. I find it but I also find the shower which Delilah is currently in. Upon seeing me appear Delilah backs herself up against the wall and attempts to hide her body with her arms as i quickly slap a hand over my eyes "im sorry" i bump into the wall but manage to leave with my eyes closed. As soon as I step out of the room I shut the door and stand wide eyed in the hall. Delilah Robinson is beautiful. That thought pops into my head and I breath out without realising I was holding my breath. Fuck.
I eventually find a different toilet and by the time I get back to Delilah's room she's stood there dressed in normal clothes now. "I'm sorry about that I was looking for a toilet" I awkwardly apologise "it's okay it was an accident" she says. "I'll sleep on the floor" I tell her and she hesitates "Delilah it's fine you need the bed cause you've hurt yourself" she eventually agrees and makes me a bed with blankets and pillows on the floor.
I didn't wake up until one pm and after eating lunch Delilah asked me a question.
"do you want to watch a film?" She asks and I nod. "Jaws?" I suggest when I see it pop up on the screen "uhh sure" Delilah selects jaws and sits down on her bed. I awkwardly stand until she pats the bed next to her "you can sit you know" she laughs. I sit next to her on the bed and slowly get comfy under the covers as jaws opening credits play.
*there will be spoilers for jaws I will put a message when the spoilers end and catch you up on what happened*
I watch the blockbuster on screen happily as Chrissie ran into the water. The classic music kicked in but suddenly it was interrupted by a small sound beside me. I turned to look and noticed Delilah's wobbly bottom lip as the shark tugged her around. "Delilah" she looked over at me "are you okay?" I asked and she just nodded and pretended to be interested in the final screams as chrissie died. "Darling" I said and this time she snapped her head towards me quicker "we don't need to watch this if you're scared" I said gently and she bit her bottom lip as if she didn't want to admit it "okay" she finally agreed and I reached for the remote and turned it off. Sorry Brody I thought as the screen turned black as he looked at Chrissies body.
*jaws spoilers end here for those that skipped basically Charlotte turned the film off because Delilah got scared*
I turned back towards her and noticed a tremble in her face "it's okay darling" I reached out for her and she fell into my arms "I'm sorry I have a phobia of sharks and open water" she said choking down tears "I'm sorry" I said into her hair and she suddenly stopped and looked up at me "why are you sorry?" She asked and I thought about it before replying "for picking jaws" I said "without knowing about my phobia?" She asked and i nodded "and without me stopping you?" I nodded again and she slowly began to laugh. Eventually she flopped down on top of me and laughed into my chest. I joined in with her giggles and patted her head. "You're really bad at comforting" she laughed "I'll try my best to be good at it for you" I said and she smiled at me. Some sort of swirling feeling in my stomach began and I wondered who came up with butterflies. We spent the whole day together and I didn't think about anything that worried or upset me all day.
"George wants me to come round now" Delilah said sounding almost sad? "Okay" I began to get up "thank you Charlotte todays been amazing" she said and I smiled "I had a good time too" I said reaching for my keys "I live down the road so I can go get my car and pick you up?" I ask "you don't have to do that" Delilah said "I insist, but pretty please can I keep your clothes for a bit?" I questioned "of course you can and okay then" Delilah surrendered.
"Thanks Charlotte for looking after me today" she said "no worries bye" I waved as she got out of my car and into George's worried arms. I sighed as I drove home for some reason I missed Delilah already.
