CAPPIN' (book 2)

Chapter 4

~Delilah~

"Why is everything always about him and how he feels? Why can't you or him or anyone else just care about me and how I feel for once?! I'm getting tired of this! He's not even your kid!" I couldn't help it. All of my emotions just got the best of me and I spilled everything out.

I didn't mean to say that, but honestly I always felt that way even we were younger, but I couldn't tell them that. I love Jacob, I could never hurt his feelings.

My mother soon walked in the room covered by a white robe and fluffy puma slides.

"What's going on in here? Why are y'all yelling?" She asked, her eyebrows scrunched with confusion.

"Nothing. I'm leaving. Apparently I have a show to go to." I walked past them and out the door. Of course I'm going to the show. I'm gonna kick Jacobs behind when I see him too.

I pull up to the building that already had a long line of fans wrapped around it. I look at my phone, it's 10:00. Only thirty minutes before the show starts. I was not standing in this line waiting, I gotta catch him before the show. My eyes landed on a familiar side door with two buff dudes guarding. VIP entrance I guess. I recognized them, they used to work for my mom. I make my way over to them and they instantly greet me with a smile.

"Hey guys, I need to get back there to see Jacob."

They nodded then let me in. They remember how Jacob used to live with us when we were younger.

Anticipation wells up inside of me as my feet carry me down this dim sleek hallway. I read the labels on the doors until I find the one with Princeton written on it. Knocking doesn't even cross my mind, I barge right in causing him to spin around and trip on his half put on pants. He looked up at me from the floor and his face gets pale.

"Hey...Delilah...hows it going." He says slowly and awkwardly.

"Don't hey me. Did you really think I wouldn't find out?"

He scurried on his feet and puts his pants on all the way and my eyes wander his shirtless physique. He sure filled out now didn't he.

Just as he was buttoning his pants there was a knock on the door and a guy poked his head in.

"Prince, they said be ready in- oh am I interrupting something?" The guy says with a smirk.

I roll my eyes at the thought of it. As if.

"Nah EJ I'll be ready, give us a few minutes." Jacob says as he pulls his white Gucci shirt over his head.

"Ok bro imma let y'all finish." He says holding back a laugh. He then leaves.

Wow now he thinks we were doing something.

My attention redirects back to Jacob and his head is down. He's so cute, I hate not seeing him happy but forget all that, I'm pissed off.

"How? How could you be so heartless? You kept in contact with my parents but not once tried to talk to me. I was your best friend. I loved you. I always put your feelings first but you're so selfish. You never think about my feelings. None of y'all do. It's always Jacob Jacob Jacob!" At this point tears were just pouring down my face. My sudden outburst made him look me in my eyes for the first time in years.

Soon full blown sobs took over me. I haven't cried this hard since he left. He quickly wrapped his strong arms around my short, petite frame and I instantly melted. I can't believe he still has this affect on me. He rubbed my back letting me calm down but I could tell he wasn't calm himself. His heart was beating so fast and he was so warm.

"Delilah, I don't care how long I was gone, my love for you ain't ever change. I missed you so much, so many times I wanted to click your number. Your dad kept giving it to me trying to coax me into calling you. You're even a contact in my phone. I couldn't click your number. I couldn't hear your voice. I couldn't see you. I was so scared of you hating me. I'm a coward. I've grown so much, but one thing I couldn't grow out of, was the fear of you hating me. You're the only person in this whole world I told my every thought to. I do care about your feelings, but my fear took over me. I'm so sorry." He said. His breathing started getting shakey and he voice slowly started to crack the longer he spoke. His body was shaking.

I wrapped my arms around his now hardened and toned frame, and I allowed the quietness to calm us both down. For the life of me, I couldn't stay angry with this boy.

After a while I released him, he did the same with reluctance.

"You don't know how angry I want to be at you, but you already know I forgive you as always." I say with a small smile, and a playful roll of the eyes. I still want him in my life so there's no need to hold a grudge.

The same dude pops his head in again without even knocking this time.

"Y'all done being nasty? We got a show to do." EJ said.

Jacob and I chuckled and waved him off.

"Well uh I really don't want to but I kinda have to...you know." Jacob says with his usual awkwardness.

"Lol go ahead boy, imma be right in the front row." I said shewing him away.

He laughed and put his Gucci's on and we walked into the main room where they enter the stage from. The cute guy from the store was standing there waiting with his nose in his phone.

"Finally he decided to show his face- oh hey, candy girl wassup. You looking fine as ever." The cute guy says eying me up and down.

I blush and let out a soft hey and a small wave.

"Chill bro that's all Prince right there." EJ objected.

My face scrunched up "you's a lie. We weren't even doing anything just talking. I'm his childhood friend, Delilah." I said introducing myself.

The two boys eyes bucked out of their heads almost at the same time.

"Woooah, you're Delilah?!" They said simultaneously.

"My boy has been talking about you nonstop ever since we've known him. He be dreaming about you and all." The cute boy said causing Jacob to punch his arm extra hard.

"Damn just throw me under the bus why don't ya." Jacob said with his face turning red.

"He talks about you like you were the love of his life." The boy continues now laughing.

"Alright kids it's time to go on!" A tall older man said.

"Kid? I'm a grown man!" The boy says flexing his muscles causing us all to laugh.

"Tuh huh, Mike please. If anything you're the least mature." The man says.

"Yeah whatever." Mike said, smacking his teeth.

The boys made their way up the stairs to the stage after Jacob told Vince, the man, to escort me to the front row. I took my place almost having my eardrums blown out by the screaming fans.

The performance was great. I was never a huge MB fan because I couldn't stand seeing Jacob but their songs are actually fire. After the show I went back stage to chill with the boys specifically Jacob. I still can't help but feel a little mad at him but I pushed my pride and feelings aside one again, and welcomed him with open arms. It's not like he left us on bad terms anyway. I just wanna know why this moment took so long.
