Secret Mistake

76.

DELANO POV

I'm calling the house and no one is answering. This is usually the time I start to panic but I'll give gia the benefit of the doubt. She wouldn't just do what I told not to do anyway. Right?.

"Delano that meeting went great. Thanks for coming by" my partner said.

"Yeah no problem" I said.

My phone started to vibrate. Looking down I see it's Gia's cellphone. "I've been calling the house. What are you doing?!".

"Umm... so there's a small situation at the moment" she said.

"Like what?" I asked.

"Umm... okay you have to promise me you won't get mad" she said.

"Gia if you don't tell me what's going on right now..." I warned.

"Okay...Umm...(incoherent mumbling)" What the hell why does it sound like a truck passed by?.

"Gia what was that?" I asked now I'm getting upset.

"Oh that noise was a truck passing by. Anyway so funny story right. So magically we ended up in Oregon and had a great time there. Such a nice state. And well my car broke down and we are on the borderline of Oregon and Nevada".

"WHAT?! ARE YOU CRAZY? WHY DONT YOU EVER LISTEN TO ME?!. AND NOW YOU HAVE OUR SON AND NEVERMIND YOU'RE PREGNANT AS WELL!!!" I screamed into my phone.

"See this is why I didn't want to say anything" she said.

"GIA STAY WHERE YOU ARE! IM COMING TO COME GET YOU!" I screamed again.

"Stop screaming at me!" She said.

"RIGHT NOW ISN'T THE BEST TIME TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO! JUST SHUT UP AND STAY THERE. DO NOT MOVE" I said.

My partner came out the room and glanced at me "You okay? You're all red in the face".

"I'm good. Just dealing with someone who doesn't listen and now she's in trouble" I said.

"Oh damn, okay. Well I hope everything works out" he said.

"Trust me it will" I smirked walking out. Fucking Oregon. They all went to Oregon. For what?!. Driving along the highway just thinking of ways I could possibly go crazy.

Rubbing my hands over my face in frustration and anger. Can't believe she has our three year old out on the side of the highway. She's gone too far now. I was being nice before but not anymore.

Pulling up slowly I see them standing there. My anger resurfaced again. I stopped the car and got out. "Ryan get in the car". He didn't say anything he just did what I asked him.

Turning my attention to both Bria and Gia. "Just in my defense I did tell her his trip was a bad idea" I glanced at her and didn't say anything. "Bad timing huh? I'll just get in the car" she quickly ran over to the opposite side of the car and got in.

Standing in front of gia. I wanted to say so many things. I wanted to curse her out in so many ways. But the best way is silence. I opened the car door and walked away to get inside. She raised her brow.

GIA POV

Thinking the worst was about to happen. But nothing happened. He just opened my door and walked away. I was confused. All that screaming on the phone and he comes here all calm?.

The hour ride was silent. So quiet you could hear a pin drop. No one dared to speak. Delano was just focusing on driving. He didn't even look at me once. The tension was so thick. When we got home. Ryan went to his room and Bria disappeared to her room not wanting to be in Delano's wrath.

"Gia? I want to talk to you" he said in a low voice. He was sitting on the ottoman just lost in his thoughts. Slowly sitting across of him on the couch "yeah?".

"I told you specifically do not go anywhere but this house. And you deliberately went anyway. Does it ever occur to you I'm trying to protect you from the craziness outside?".

"Thank you for your concern but I wanted to go outside and I did. We had a great time and just that my car had other ideas. Or we would've been home before you got home".

"There you go again. Keeping things from me. For what? Are you doing something that you don't want me to know?" I asked.

"You can't be serious.."

"I'm very serious. Why else would you feel the need to keep things from me?" I asked.

"Maybe because you tend to suck the fun of out things. I don't want Ryan cooped up in this house all day. I want him to explore places".

"He can't explore the backyard or the land surrounding this house? Why must he explore Las Vegas or Portland?".

"I see this conversation isn't going anywhere" she said.

"Gia please understand what I'm saying. You are pregnant and have our son out there for hours. When are you going to finally get it? When something happens to you?".

"Delano you are blowing this way out of proportion for no reason. Like I said if the car didn't break down we would've been here".

"Gia you are testing my patience. Do not get on my bad side. I don't want to treat you like someone I can't trust".

"Have I done anything for you not to trust me? I mean let's not forget you have... so can we not steer off what's the main topic here".

"You know what I'm done and another thing tell Bria her trip will be cut short. She's leaving tomorrow". He got up and went into the kitchen.

"You can't do that" I yelled.

"Tell her she needs her bags packed by two tomorrow. Every time she's here you do stupid shit".

After this crazy day I didn't want to fight anymore. I sighed loudly and went upstairs. Can I live a little?. Without him being down my damn throat?.
