A/N
I just want to dedicate  this chapter  to @mussically18. Thank you for all the support and love you have shown me since day one. I appreciate all the comments  and votes that you give me. Have a great day beautiful : )

That night I went to sleep dreading waking up the next day. I knew Mr McKinley would find out sooner or later. My phone ringing interrupted my sleep. When I picked it up I saw that it was 2am and my caller ID showed it was Mr McKinley. Why would he be calling me at 2am on a Thursday morning?

"Hello" I groggily mumbled onto the phone

"I'm outside" came the hard voice of my boss

"What?" my hoarse voice said. I sat up in my bed and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I was glad to see that the phone call didn't wake Maria up.

"Come outside" and then the line went dead. I sat on my bed for a couple of minutes comprehending what just happened.

I got up and put on my old college sweatshirt and flipflops. Rushing into the bathroom I was grateful to see that Maria had bought some mouthwash so I quickly rinsed my mouth with it before grabbing my keys and I carefully tiptoed out the door.

After shutting the main door I saw a dark figure leaning against a dark car. I was glad that I put a sweatshirt on since it was chilly and my pajama shorts clad thighs were getting cold.

"What are you doing here" I whispered with my hands crossed

"You told her yes!" he shouted

"Keep your voice down and what are you talking about?" I was still partially tired since I was just rudely woken up.

"Gabby she called you about the dinner and you said yes" he accused

"I had no choice!" I defended

"Yes you did. There are many options that you could have said. 'Sorry Gabby I'm sick', 'No I'm busy that day', or Just plain no! She's not a child that always needs to hear yes. You could have told her no."

"You and I both know that if your sister wants something then she gets it. So don't try to blame this on me. This is your fault! She called you first but you were too busy on that stupid date to pick up!"

"Is that what this is about? You're jealous? Is that why you told her yes"

"No it's not. You're putting words in my mouth again"

"You do understand that we are not together right. What happened at my parents house was a show"

"I'm so sick of you always playing yourself out to to be innocent" I said as I shoved his chest, "This is your family not mine. You want to stop pretending then go and tell them that we broke up. Control your family and stop blaming me."

"Do you not understand that this all happened because of you!"

"Then be a man and fix it instead of coming to me and whining about it" I said looking him in the eyes

"Who do you think you are" he said as he glared at me. I refused to back down and I maintained eye contact with him, "How dare you disrespect my masculinity! You owe everything to me! I literally saved you from the streets"he spewed into my face

"I owe nothing to you! My uncl-"

"You're uncle asked me to give you an interview he never told me to give you the job" we glared at each other before he said,"I'm going to call my parents and tell them I found you cheating on me. Problem solved" he said as he started to walk away.

Using all my strength I yanked his arm which caused him to turn around, "Don't you dare make make me look like the bad guy here"

"My family would be crushed if they found out the real truth. For some odd reason they like you and I can't disappoint them with the truth. You wouldn't understand since it's not like you have family to compare with."

Before I knew it my hand reached up and slapped my boss. I could feel the tears falling down my face. The red handprint that was on his right cheek satisfied me a little. The anger coursing through me turned into sadness.

I balled up my fists and punched his chest. Why wasn't he reacting? My tears soaked my vision and my punches soon became soft taps as all my strength was gone.

I felt his arms go around me, in an effort to comfort me,"That came out wrong" he mumbled

That's all he could say! Not even an apology? I pushed back from his chest with a new found anger, "You are a rude, cruel, disrespectful, and vile creature! You don't know anything about me or my family." I said as I lifted my hand up ready to slap him again.

This time his hand caught mine and I glared into into his eyes, "I didn't mean for that to come out. I was just angry at you. I didn't mean it." he still never said the words I wanted to hear. I hated him soo much.

"I can't do this anymore! Ever since I have been working for you all you have done is disrespect me! I'm tired of all this. I quit!" I screamed at him and I turned to walk back to my apartment feeling my tears soak my grey sweatshirt.

I was pulled back into a hard chest and he said, "You don't mean that. You are stubborn and clever but you are not stupid. You need this job and you need the money. Don't be stupid Delilah!"

"Don't touch me!" I yelled as I stepped away from him,"I do need the money but it's not worth what I have to go through to get it" I said as I speed walked away. I could feel my tears building and I knew they would explode any minute.

I could hear his footsteps running after mine and just before I could take the steps that led to my apartment door he turned me around and crashed his lips on mine.

This kiss was hard and angry. I tried pushing against his chest but I knew it would be no point since he was built like a rock. He managed to slide his tongue into my mouth and I hated the way my body reacted to him.

I hated how soft his lips were. I hated how our mouths molded perfectly. I hated how he managed to make me forget my anger with just one kiss. I hated how he tasted like wine due to his date.

The words he said to me floated in my brain and before I could react he swiftly left the kiss and he stumbled back. He ran his hands through his thick dark hair.

"Do you see what you do to me Delilah!" I looked up at him and he continued, "You make me feel things. You make me feel bad! Look I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he exclaimed as his eyes stared deep into mine.

"If it was anyone else who said they quit I wouldn't care and I would leave. But with you, you're different. I care about you Delilah. I care about your feelings that's why I'm still here." he confessed

"You can't say things like that." I mumbled looking down.

"Why not?"

"Because you just came back from a date" I reminded

He looked away from me. I saw a hint of hurt flash through his eyes. He turned his back on me and stood still for a couple of minutes. With his back to me he responded with, "Fine. It won't happen again. Be at work by 7am"

That was the last thing I heard from him as he got back into his car and drove away.
