Secret Mistake

13.

Gia POV

This living arrangement has to be the worst thing possible. Sitting here on this couch and just looking around. How did I even end up here? That's when the throw up was rising up my esophagus causing me to run to the bathroom to release it. Then I remembered looking down at my tiny pouch on why I'm here.

"You Okay?" Delano asked. I nodded "Just pregnancy stuff" walking pass him and going back to my spot on the couch. He followed me and took a seat next to me "do you want to talk about that panic attack?".

"Nope. But I do know I'm exhausted" fake yawning so he would just leave me alone. "Well let's get you in bed" he got up extending his hand to help me up. "Wait? Isn't there only one bedroom here?" He nodded "Come on".

We walked into the back room where his room was at. Very clean for a man. But there's no way in hell I'm sleeping in the same bed as this man.

"Well what are you waiting for?" He asked standing in the doorway.

"Umm yeah I'm not for us sleeping in the same bed" I confessed.

"I don't see a problem since well we already accomplished sleeping together" the smirk on face made me want to slap the white off of him.

"Like I said I'm not sleeping in this bed with you. So I will sleep on the couch" pushing past him and going right back to the same spot I was in. I heard him walking up to me.

"I won't let you sleep on the couch. We can sleep in the same bed but I won't touch you. I'll even stay on my side" looking at him I saw he was being serious. Why couldn't this whole situation be a dream that I can wake up from?.

"Fine" I sighed. He nodded and helped me up off the couch to his room. He walked in first and I stood at the door way. "I don't bite you can come inside more" he said.

Stepping into his room and taking in his aroma of cologne he wears. "So I guess you can take the right side and I'll take the left. Deal?".

I nodded "sounds good. Where's my stuff?" He walked into the closet and took out a duffel bag. "Whenever you feel comfortable you can put your clothes in the bottom two draws".

"What about my apartment though?. The month just started and I paid the rent. What a waste of money" I huffed.

"If you want I can go there tomorrow and get your rent refunded back to you" he offered.

"You would do that for me?" Why he is being so nice.

"Why wouldn't I do that for you?. I'm a nice guy Gia" He seemed a little annoyed I even asked that question.

"You don't find this all to be happening too fast?" I asked.

He shook his head "Nope. Now if you were the type of girl who doesn't act on impulse... I would've left you alone about moving in with me. But instead you disappear to Mexico without letting me know".

"Are we still on the Mexico trip?" Rolling my eyes he needs to let go.

"Of course I am. I can only imagine what you and Bria did on that trip. Nevermind apparently you got so sick you ended up in the hospital over there. See my point?".

"Nope not seeing your point. But I'm tired so..." walking into the bathroom and shutting the door.

"Of course you are" I heard him mumble before walking out the room.

The next morning I texted Bria to pick me up so we can go to work. Putting on my uniform and putting my hair up because the heat don't play outside.

"Gia?" Delano yelled.

"What?" I yelled back.

"Can you come here?" He asked.

Walking into the kitchen where he was drinking a cup of coffee. "What?". Today wasn't my day. My moods were all over the damn place.

"Well good morning to you too. But the rules still apply to you at the workplace. Whenever Bria comes to pick you up make sure you both get there on time".

"That's what you called me in here for?". He nodded "someone is moody today. Hormones?".

"What do you think?"'I asked.

Just then Bria texted me she was outside. Grabbing my bag and my shades I walked out the door. Once inside Bria's car I look up to see Delano staring at us through the window.

"Oh this is too weird for me" Bria said.

"You telling me? Imagine living with him". Bria looked at me with a scrunched up face "Damn I feel for you".

"Don't... I don't want pity. And he said we better be at work on time. Let's try and not be late. Or I won't hear the end of it".

"You know what. Look at it this way. You don't have to pay rent anymore or bills" Bria said trying to cheer up the situation.

"Not helping at all". She shrugged and continued to drive. We actually made it to work on time even though we stopped for coffee.

Delano was on the employees room discussing something with another worker. I peeped him and tried to make myself unnoticeable. Grabbing my time card I slid it in and clocked in.

"Gia hold on a sec" Delano yelled. Dammit. He dismissed that worker and came up to me. "Is that coffee you're drinking?".

Holding up the Starbucks I smiled "ding ding ding you got it".

"You're not suppose to be drinking that" he tried to take my coffee.

"Excuse you! It's bad enough we have to live together but don't try and control what I do. Just Incase you forgot I'm only pregnant we are not together by any means" I stormed off away from him. I need a night out away from all my stress.
