Secret Mistake

55.

Disclaimer::: Delano's mom learned her lesson she wasn't the doing of his friend coming over and trying to take advantage of Gia. It was mainly him.

DELANO POV

It was getting late. I was slouching on the couch just thinking about a lot of things. The sun was setting and the room was getting dark. I didn't want to put the light on. I rather sit in the dark and think.

Ever since last night Gia hasn't been acting like herself. Go figure since she still has to tell Bria's dad about everything. I didn't bother her about why she was so distant from me.

Hearing Gia walk up to me. I looked at her as she plopped down on the couch with a pillow over her. She looked beautiful!. "Hey". She smiled softly. "Is everything okay?".

She looked down and started playing with the corner of the pillow. "Well... I have something to tell you". I stared at her "okay..."

"Umm... when brad came over yesterday he tried to force himself on me" she said. My mind raced I couldn't understand what she was saying. "Wait? You're saying brad came into you?".

She nodded "along with trying to touch me inappropriately. He tried to kiss me too. But I kneed him in the balls".

Looking at her she looked nervous. "Why didn't you tell me this last night?".

She shrugged "I don't know. I guess I didn't want to start anything. Plus, things have been calm around here".

Sighing loudly "Gia I'll handle him okay. It wasn't right for him to think it was okay for him to force himself on you".

"I know that. Hence why I beat him up and threw him out. I wonder if people can sense a radar when someone has been through trauma. They sense the vulnerability".

"Maybe they can. But what he did there's no excuse for it. Once you told him I wasn't home he should've left. But he insisted to wait for me. Sounds like he knew what he was doing".

"I can't wait to move! You have no idea. New state, new town, nobody knows us. Can't wait!" She said. I just sat there and stared at her. She really doesn't know how pretty she truly is.

"Did he say anything else to you?" I asked.

"Well the usual racist crap. How all I am is a black girl who's a charity case. Etc" she said.

"You are none of those things. I don't want you to ever believe that" she smiled at me. "Where was our son when this was going on?".

"Ryan was sleeping in his bassinet. I couldn't imagine having that happen when he's awake. Even though he's a baby. But still..."

I nodded my phone started to ring. Looking at the caller it was Brad. I turned to Gia who looked nervous. I placed my finger on my lips motioning for her to be quiet. Answering the call and placing it on speaker.

"Hello?" Just looking at Gia.

"Hey bro what's up?. I missed you yesterday" brad said.

"Yeah Gia told me you stopped by" I said.

"Oh really... what else did she tell you?" Brad asked.

"Nothing... what else would she tell me?" I asked.

"Oh nothing! I was there waiting for you. But since you seemed to be taking a long time I left" he lied.

"Really?. Interesting. So you didn't try and kiss my gia?" I asked.

"Huh? What?. She's the one that came onto me! I declined her advances and she got upset" he said.

Gia scrunched up her face and mouthed "seriously?".

"Brad you must know I'll believe Gia over you. But the real question is why would you try and come onto her in the first place? Knowing she's mine".

"Listen she's a black girl. What's the difference if I came onto to her or not?".

"Wow I didn't realize how ignorant you are. Because she's black it's okay for you to try and sleep with her?".

"Exactly, it's not my fault I was attracted to her. And then she's walking around the house in leggings and a wife beater. She was tempting me".

I sighed loudly because he was sounding stupid and it was pissing me off. "Brad listen we been friends for a very long time. But please don't ever come over to my place. I don't want you near Gia!. If you can't control yourself then you can't be around her. Period".

"I don't know what this girl got going over you. But you changed man!. I don't even know who you are anymore".

"I'm a family man who's protecting what's mine. And when you come into my home and try to force yourself on my girlfriend then we have a problem".

"Whatever man, forget you and forget that nigger too. I should've just did what I wanted to her" he said.

"Watch your fucking mouth! Don't you ever in your life call my girl a nigger. You piece of worthless shit!" I hung up the phone to see gia giving me a small smile "I'm sorry".

"You have nothing to be sorry about. This wasn't your fault at all. I'm definitely signing those papers so we can move quicker than I anticipated". Gia moved herself next to me and snuggled her head on my chest.
