Secret Mistake

16.

Gia POV

After my talk with Bria and having her come out of her face and tell me bullshit. I was done for the day. My attitude was straight on. And Delano goes ahead and puts me in the concession stand once again. The only reason I'm not going to fight today is because I get to eat what's here.

Sitting on top of the counter just watching out to see everyone with their families. Or couples together coming to the beach to have a fun day. Bria better not come over here looking for me. Talking all that crazy shit about Delano liking me.

"Gia you're very not yourself today? You've been here this whole time without wandering off" Delano said.

"Uh Huh" is all I had to say. I wasn't in the mood to even talk to anyone.

"That's it. No arguments? Or cuss words?" He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. Can he leave me alone?

"Are you Okay?. Or maybe it's hormones" he looked concerned.

"I'm fine. I'm just not in the mood right now" twirling my end pieces of my hair. I just wanted me and my thoughts that's it.

"You can talk to me. What's up? Did something happen to you?" He asked.

Looking at him and seeing such concern in his eyes. Bria's words were circling in my head over and over again.

"Nothing happened. I just had a small argument with Bria. She just kind of told me the truth on things without me asking".

"Okay?.... I bet you girls fight a lot. And then you make up. It's probably a petty argument".

"Right... anyway change the topic". Still sitting on the counter with my face on my hand just tracing the counter top with my finger.

"You know what... tell me what she told you and maybe I can help" he suggested. Yeah like I'm about to tell him what she said. Umm no!.

"No it's not important. But thanks anyway for trying to help" smiling nervously.

"Was If about a boy?" He asked. Really? We can't get a clue huh?.

Shaking my head "Nope".

"Was it about work?" He asked.

"Not really".

"Hmm... was it about me?" He asked with hope in his eyes.

Hesitation filled my body. I didn't want to give in and tell him about what was said.

"Well?" He asked.

The only way I'll find out if what Bria said was true is to tell him and either he'll confirm it or deny it.

I nodded "yeah it was about you". He came through the back door of the concession stand and stood in front of me.

"Gia you have to stop eating the products. When someone comes and ask for an ice pop we have no more".

"Then stop putting me in here, simple" he shook his head when he saw the attitude coming out.

"So what did she say about me?" He crosses his arms over his chest and stood there.

"How you have feelings for me. And you took advantage of me at the party. Basically you're an opportunist. And how you must really care for me for you to talk me out of aborting this being inside me. Or how you forced me to move in with you just so we can try and work things out".

"That's it? That's why you had a argument with Bria?" He asked with a smile.

"See I told her she was trippin that you don't like me at all. I do agree you took an opportunity when it presented itself. Hence why I'm in this current situation".

"I never said I didn't like you. It's no secret how I feel about you. You must be the only one who doesn't notice or know".

"Delano Listen you don't like me. It's all infatuation. You got the goods and now you think you like me".

"No, I liked you from the moment to stepped into my office with Bria looking to see if I was hiring".

That explains so much. That day he kept trying to flirt with me. But I was more disgusted at him for that.

"Damn. You liked me all this time and didn't say anything?" I asked.

"Gia let's be real... do you think if I told you I liked you that you would be nice about it?". Damn he's right. I couldn't even respond. "Exactly".

That's when I felt his hand on my knee just rubbing gently. "I never said you could touch me" pushing his hands off.

"Stubbornness should be a turn off for me but for some reason it's attracting me more to you" he smiled.

"This is just a lot to take in. Damn Bria for being right". Now I have to apologize for being a bitch.

"How's the baby?" He pointed to my stomach.

"Fine. Just hungry all the time and peeing all the time" I whined.

"Can I touch it?" He asked. Looking at him I nodded. He stepped forward and placed his hand over my pouch.

"Your hands are hot as hell" making me jump a little. He kept his hands there for about a minute. Glancing up at me he started to lean in. Either I can be Gia and slap the shit out of him. Or just take what's coming.

That's when I felt his lips on mine. At first I didn't kiss back. But then my body reacted like it did that night at the party. He pulled back and stared at me.

"I told you already by the end of this week you'll be mine officially" he winked at me and exited through the door he walked in.

Why does my life have to be so damn complicated?. Now where's Bria? I have to suck up my pride and apologize.
