Secret Mistake

56.

DELANO POV

With everything going on I wanted to take Gia out just to get her mind off of things. I asked Bria if she could watch Ryan while I take gia out for the night. Sometimes as a couple you need a date night it makes the relationship healthy.

"How do I look?" She asked standing there in a tight dress stopping at her knee. I smiled "you look beautiful as always".

She blushed "okay so I'm ready" she said. I nodded and opened the door for her to walk out first. On the way there I was excited to show her off to the world. Glancing at her every now and then you saw how happy she was today.

We got to the restaurant and took our seats. "Oh wow they have a small dance floor here! How cute!" She said.

"So I'm guessing we are dancing later, right?" I asked.

"Can you dance?" I raised my brow "why would you ask that? Oh it's because I'm white right?".

"Well... you said it not me!" She said fixing her hair.

"For your information I can dance. You'll see I'll put you to shame" I said.

She rolled her eyes "yeah sure buddy".

Looking around the room you can see all the other couples enjoying themselves. I'm happy gia is in a good space today. Cause I know she'll enjoy herself. Once we ate I got up and extended my hand to her "shall we?".

She nodded and stood up. Just as we got on the dance floor you heard the music starting to slowly come out the speakers. Gia's eyes lit up "oh my gosh this is my all time favorite song! Michael Jackson- The lady in my life".

I smiled "interesting this is my favorite song". She looked up at me "really? That's weird!".

We started to slow dance. I brought Gia close to my chest and just swayed with her. This moment was a rare moment but it was nice. I stared singing slowly along with the song in Gia's ear. Seeing her smile I know she was truly happy at the moment.

She looked up "if we keep going at this route Michael will make us end up having a another baby tonight".

"Don't joke like that! I might feel tempted" I joked.

"It as a joke! Don't you play with me!" She warned.

Smiling I brought her back to my chest to continue dancing. Love that she got so serious and couldn't take a joke. We continued to dance when someone bumped into us. I turned to say sorry but then I realized who it was. And here goes the night.

"Delano! Hey man!" Brad said. He looked over at Gia and winked. "What brings you guys here?".

"Brad I'm going to warn you. Just leave us alone. I would hate to have to beat you up in this place" I said.

"Listen I told you want really happened. Your girl wanted me! What can I say?" He smirked.

Gia held onto to my arm squeezing it "He's not worth it" she whispered. Maybe she was right. I was trying to walk away but he kept going.

"I see the nigger got you hooked, huh? She controls you now" he yelled.

I was so tired of hearing that word and so tired of people referring Gia with that word. Walking up to him I got close to him fuck personal space. I stood there and just stared at me. He stared at me back with nothing said. I didn't want him to suspect I was about to punch him out. He smirked "truth is truth" that's when I quickly cocked my arm back and let it go with all my strength. Gia covered her mouth and grabbed my arm.

His date saw him fall to the floor unconscious. "Oh my god what did you do?" She yelled.

I shook my fist a little and turned around. The staff came out and escorted us out. Knowing that was going to happen. Gia smiled a little "who knew you had that punch in you!".

Rubbing my fist "I'm just so tired of everyone coming for you and you didn't do anything. But they feel the right to because of your skin color. I'm sorry".

"Why are you sorry?" She asked.

"Because now the night is ruined as always". She came up to me and hugged me "you know the night wasn't ruined. Actually you made it special for me by letting us dance to our favorite song".

She's right in a way.

"You actually hugged me..." I said. She smiled "I did didn't I?. Maybe Michael did something tonight".

We didn't want to go home so early so gia suggested we go get some ice cream and eat it in the car. The simple things that she enjoys. Watching her devour her ice cream I smiled. Yeah my fist may be hurting but I wouldn't trade our dance for anything.

This is definitely a start to something.
