Love on the Run [Wattys 2017]

6. Broken

🚨 Contains Rape 🚨

It's been a few days since Coleman and Delia have seen each other and that's because Delia has been spending more time inside the house than she did before

Emilee has also been helping her out as well, whenever Delia would have to wash clothes or hang them up to dry, Emilee would do the washing for her and Delia would just fold up the clothes

Today, Emilee was busy with some other stuff which made Delia have to go outside and do the washing herself.

She was a little nervous about going outside because she didn't want a repeat of what happened to her a few days ago and she didn't want it to happen to Coleman either

She stepped outside and immediately went to the pale without looking up to see if she saw him anywhere.

He caught a glimpse of her and already, he was thinking of a way to get over to her.

He carried a load of wood on his shoulder and took it over to the side of the house as he would occasionally look over at her.

She kept her head down and focused on the clothes only and nothing else.

He quickly sprinted over towards her in efforts of not being caught by one of the overseers.

"Hey, Delia." He said as she looked up and he flashed her a bright smile

"Coleman, you're gonna get in trouble." She whispered

"As long as my last words are with you, I'm fine with it."

"If he sees us, we're both in trouble." She warned as one of the overseers noticed Coleman talking with Delia and he came walking towards them

"I want to be with you."

"Hey, boy!" The overseer yelled as Delia jumped with surprise
"Get back over here and finish stackin this wood!"

Coleman turned to Delia and quickly but passionately, kissed her on the lips.

This caught Delia by surprise and when he pulled back, her eyes were wide and her mouth was hanging open a little

"I love you." He said and he turned around to go back to stacking the wood

Delia touched her lips as she felt a surge of energy race through them, she had never felt anything like it before.

"James caught that nigger boy talkin' with Delia again." Albert said as he was sitting in one of the arm chairs in master Bradford's study

"What were they talking about?"

"He don't know, but he did say that he kissed her." Albert said as master Bradford began to get a little irritated

"Where did he kiss her?"

"On the lips, for about five seconds."

"Did he touch her anywhere else?" He asked as he lit his pipe

No, just a kiss on the lips. So what do you want to do?"
