Secret Mistake

42.

DELANO POV

My sisters birthday is today and my mom invited Gia and I to her party she's throwing her. Knowing Gia she won't want to go and I don't blame her. I'm just going to support my sister otherwise I wouldn't go.

"Gia? My mom—" she cut me off "I'm not going don't even ask".

I nodded "I thought so. But I'm going to go for my sister okay?". She shrugged and went back to what she was doing. She'll probably call Bria to come keep her company.

After I got dressed and made sure Gia was okay I left the house. On my way to my mothers house I told myself I wouldn't stay long.

Once I got there I see the balloons and over done decorations. That's my mom though over dramatic with everything. Walking inside she came up to me with all smiles "Delano! You made it! Where's Gia?". She asked.

"She's home. She didn't want to come" I said. She shrugged "oh well. Too bad for her". When she said that I heard the disgust in her voice. "Where's emmalee?".

My mom looked around "she was just here. Maybe she's with her friends in the back. You know how teenagers can be".

I nodded "well I won't bother her". My mom walked with me into the living room. There were some people there just mingling amongst each other. The door bell rang my mom ran to the door to answer it. She never runs anywhere...

"Delano! Come here look who's here!" She yelled. I walked up to the door to see the one woman who can get my attention.

"Delano? Oh my goodness I haven't seen you in years! How are you?!" Christina hugged me tight. I was lost for words. She looked as beautiful as she did years ago. This is the one woman I had a crush on and eventually we ended up hooking up plenty of times.

"Hey Christina! It's been a long time" I said. My mom looked between both of us with a huge smile.

"Yeah I know. How's life treating you?!" She asked.

"Good actually I'm about to be a dad in two months" I said. She looked at me with wide eyes "oh really wow congratulations! Who's the lucky girl?".

"She's home! But I'm the lucky one" I said. My mom cleared her throat "enough about Gia. What about you two grab a drink and talk over there. I have to get the food and bring it out".

Christina smiled and locked arms with me "you know seeing you I have to say I miss you Delano". I didn't respond instead I grabbed a drink for her and myself and we sat down and continued to talk.

Four drinks later... my mom came and peeked inside the living room at us and smiled. Christina was now very close to me. "Don't you think if I never moved we would be together?".

I nodded "maybe... I can't say".

"Maybe this will help you out to see if it would've happened". She leaned in and kissed me. Now with the effects of the alcohol I didn't fight her. Why didn't I fight her off of me?. Why am I kissing her back?.

When she pulled back she smiled "I see you still have those soft lips. Those lips are mine. Only mine!" I didn't say anything I was too shocked I kissed this woman.

She got up and disappeared loving me there speechless. I took another drink trying to burn the sins I just committed. I got up to go use the bathroom. Opening the door I felt someone push me inside kissing me. Knowing it was Christina...

"Christina we can't do this, okay?!" I said in between of kissing her.

"Damage is already done! Might as well just complete it, right?" She took off her top leaving her breast out in the open. God she was so pretty. How can I say no?. Grabbing her and picking her up placing her on the sink.

That's when I did the unthinkable. I hated myself once we were done. I stormed out of the house and sat in my car. Rubbing my hand over my mouth because this is damage control.

It'll be best if Gia didn't know about this. For sure she'll leave me and I can't have that. Starting my car up I started my drive back home. What I did was playing over and over in my head making me hate myself even more.

When I got home I was hoping Gia wasn't home. But she was but she was sleeping on the couch. She must've fell asleep watching a movie. Just staring at her and feeling guilty as hell. She looked so beautiful as she slept. Looking down at her stomach I placed my hand on it. Feeling that connection a father should feel with their baby.

Grabbing the throw cover and placing it on her. Kissing her forehead... "I'm sorry" is all I said.
