Secret Mistake

104.

I'm trying this new thing in life called... forgive everyone and start on a clean slate. So far... so good. Let's see how long this last...

DELANO POV

Gia just pissed me off with the conversation earlier. My mom came out "the party is inside and you're out here". Shaking my head cause this woman is asking to get it. Again. "Just out here thinking of what kind of person keeps trying to break up a relationship?".

"Excuse me?" She asked.

"Why do you insist on trying to break Gia and I up?" I asked.

"Huh? I'm confused" she said.

"Listen playing dumb will just irritate me more. Ava came out here before she left and told me everything" I said.

"Oh..." she said.

"That's all you have to say?" I asked.

"Well what do you want me to say. Yes, I'm guilty. I just feel gia is beneath you. You can do so much better with someone else. If you didn't get Gia pregnant you two wouldn't even be together!".

Sighing cause she was not getting the point here. "How do you know that? Maybe we would be together despite Gia getting pregnant. Obviously it was meant to be".

"Wake up! Delano. You should've let her go through with that abortion she wanted to bad. Maybe you would've been with someone much better" she said.

"You know I came here with the intention to start fresh. Forgetting what happened in the past. Thinking maybe you changed since the last time. Giving you the benefit of the doubt but you are still the same miserable woman. How dare you pay someone to ruin my relationship which almost happened!". She snickered "let me get the violin. Let me give you an insight.. I give you guys three more years before she calls it quits".

I was done hearing her out. Grabbing my things I stormed out of there. Changing the flight to the first one back to Nevada. When I get back I walked inside to see Gia on the couch. She jumped "you scared me!". Handing her a bouquet of roses "I'm sorry for the conversation before. My emotions were all over the place".

She smiled "not to take away from the moment. But this is the second time I received flowers".

"I know. I remember the first time I gave you flowers but you wasn't feeling it at all" I said. She gave me a small smile and went to smell the roses. "Thank you they're beautiful. But what made you get me flowers?".

"Just tired of arguing and I know you've been trying to be calm and I'm not helping" I said.

"Ahhh, the guilt will eat you up" she teased.

"And with the baby and Ryan you are doing a great job being their mother and I appreciate that" I said. Gia has a tear escape her eye. "Sorry I just never heard you say these things to me before".

"I know, but from now on only positive affirmations towards one another. All that negativity we were feeding each other was destroying our relationship". She nodded "You're right. And I'm sorry I didn't take the Noah situation more serious".

"About Noah. I do expect him to show his pretty boy face here soon enough and when he does I'm beating his ass on site" I said. Gia nudged me "can you stop? He's not worth it".

"He's worth my fist in his face. Because if him we almost broke up for good. I refuse to have anyone else come between you and I". Gia leaned in and kissed me. "First time you did that" I said.

"First time for everything" she said. Hearing her say that brought me back to that eventful night Ryan was conceived. I swore that's what she told me after she admitted she was a virgin.

It's times like these I live for. The progress we go through at a very slow pace. She got up and put the flowers in a vase. Gia may drive me insane but I wouldn't trade her for anyone else. Couldn't pay me to give her up. She was so focused on the flowers and seemed to be amazed that she got flowers.

When she was done she came back to the couch. Joining her as well I held her in my arms. This was something we rarely did together. But it was something I could get used to. "Did you confront that woman who birthed you?".

"Yeah but she had no remorse for what she did. As of now she's no longer my mother. I honestly want nothing to do with her anymore. She crossed the line" I said.

"About time. But I did warn you about going to go see her. She's usually up to no good anyway. But I'm happy at least you expressed yourself to her. Not that she cares but still". All this talking about this person is dampening the mood in the room. "Oh wait someone's birthday is coming up!. Mister Virgo. What are we doing?".

"I'll be happy just being here with my family. That's all I want. A nice family day. We could even grill out back" I said.

"Sounds good to me. Nice and simple" she said. We stayed together just watching television. About ten minutes later I heard heavy breathing. Looking down I see Gia was sleeping. "Good night. Love you" I whispered. A smile appeared in her face which told me she heard me.
