Secret Mistake

103.

GIA POV

Both boys were sleeping so at least I can some peace and quiet. But I must say my mind was working a little hard tonight. With Delano being at his mothers house it makes me a little worried for him. We all know what happened when he went there. I don't even have to say it. So you can imagine why my mind in running.

Maybe I should call him... or maybe I should wait for him to call me. Fuck it! Pressing his name on my contact list. "Hello?".

"Hey" I said.

"Hey, how are the kids?" He asked.

"They are both sleeping but otherwise it was an easy day with them both" I said.

"How is everything over there?" I asked.

"A little hectic. A lot is going on and I don't really know how to handle it" he said.

"Like what?" I was curious.

"Just let me talk and when I'm done you can talk or ask questions, okay?" He said.

"Okay... talk" i said. He explained to me everything about what his mother was up to. Including Ava and Noah. Was I surprised? No I wasn't.

"I mean at this point I'm not surprised she is still trying to break us up. She was never happy you got the black girl pregnant" I said.

"And there's something else... Ava said even though this was all a plan. Unfortunately Noah took a serious liking into you" he said.

"Okay?..." I said.

"Gia this means that idiot will try and come back only because he can't tell the difference from an infatuation or whatever he's feeling" he said.

"I wouldn't even pay Noah any mind. I won't see him anymore. He's old news" I said.

"Easy for you to say. See how you are alone at the house? He can easily pop up being a creepy fuck that he is" he said.

"Delano you are blowing this all out of proportion. I haven't seen Noah since that day" he sighed over the phone. "I want you to be completely honest with me. You didn't go on any dates with him, right?".

"You know what? What answer would you like to hear. Cause apparently my answer the other day wasn't good enough. So would you like to hear oh yeah we went on a date that one time but nothing else happened. Is that what you're looking for?" Now he's annoying me.

"Well what do you want me to do? This boy is now feeling something for you when he shouldn't. And I don't see any man or boy falling for someone where they didn't have any alone time with that person".

"Delano I'm about a few seconds away before I end this call" I warned.  He sighed again "Look I'm just trying to make sense here. Knowing Noah's type he will try to unknowingly come around or show up. And if he does I'm beating him up on site".

"Macho man attitude" I teased.

"I'm amazed you are so nonchalant about this" he said.

"Because I'm not going to add unnecessary stress I don't need for someone who I haven't seen since I moved out of that place". He didn't respond to that answer. Did I actually stump Delano with that one?. "Hello?".

"I'm here! Just thinking" he said.

"How about you come home and then we can figure out what to do about this. Cause apparently you're not in that right frame of mind" I suggested.

"Does he have your number?" He asked. Why are we still on this?.

"Yeah, why?" I asked.

"When I come back you're changing your number" he demanded.

"I see controlling Delano is making its presence. It must've been hard burying that side" I said.

"Say what you want. But I can't have that idiot anywhere close to you especially since you're not pregnant anymore. That makes matters worse" he said.

"Why are you so focused on this?" I asked.

"Because since you aren't someone has to. When Noah shows up and shit hits the fan. You will be the same one to blame me for why he came by. So I rather take care of this sooner than later" he said.

"Delano you need a hobby or something. Seriously, you feel threatened from another guy who we haven't seen in a while. We have a new baby we need to focus on rather than Noah" I said.

"You know what Gia, apparently you don't take anything seriously. So I will just end this call and figure this one on my own" he sounded upset. "Don't get mad at me because I choose not to egg on a situation that I find a waste of energy that I don't have at the moment". He ended the call without nothing said. How rude? Hanging up on someone.

He can sit there in Arizona and try to figure out who what where when and why with Noah. I just don't have the time for it. Haven't seen him since I moved out. And if he ask me one more time about any date with Noah I'm going to snap. After I constantly told him I haven't. I'm trying to have this calm attitude but Delano is making it very hard for me to keep this nonchalant attitude.

Counting to ten because I felt the anger rising just replaying the conversation. I refuse to call him back and start a stupid argument. I'm not that person anymore.

JHENE AIKO'S WHILE WE'RE YOUNG IS MY JAM! SO SOOTHING!
