Secret Mistake 3

26.

GIA POV

I didn't want to go over Delano's house but every noise I was hearing was making me paranoid. Packed up the girls and made the two minute walk to his home. Delano has always had this thing where he doesn't lock his doors. I'll never understand it. I walked in and locked the door behind me. He walked out and looked at me. He took Harlow first and then Salem and came back out. We sat and talked and the Delano I was speaking to was cute. Just looking at him he reminded me of a shy teenager.

It was quiet between us.

He leaned in and I leaned in.

I wasn't sure what we were doing. But I was going with it. Then Salem popped out claiming her stomach hurt. I jumped up quickly to tend to her. In the middle of the night I kept hearing things so I raced into Delano's room. Not like that... but we slept together. That was it.

I didn't have work today. But I didn't want to stay at his home either. He took Salem to daycare for me and I took Harlow and went home. Ryan and Kai were on their way to school. When I got in my house I did look around. Out of paranoia. Everything was exactly the same.

Harlow was napping so I decided to take a nap myself. I did sleep nicely at Delano's house but I was still tired.

"Oh come on let's go eat!" Bria said. We walked down to the restaurant and sat ourselves. "This place looks good" I said. She smiled "it does. I love Mexico".

"You are on your own with that opinion" I said.

"Oh stop it! You're just saying that cause your pregnant" she said.

"Maybe..." I said. The waiter came to the table to take out orders but he barely spoke English. Bria smiled "I know Spanish. What do you want?".

"The steak tacos look good" I said. She went on to tell the waiter in Spanish what we wanted. He questioned her for one thing she said. But she repeated herself. He shrugged and walked away.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Oh nothing he didn't understand what I wanted" she said.

"Oh" I said. Our food came out and it looked so delicious. I was starving. And this pregnancy made me extra hungry. Bria started digging into her food and watched me eat mine. For some reason not even five minutes my throat felt like it was closing. I was itchy all over. Bria jumped up "Gia? Are you okay?".

I couldn't even speak. I pointed to my throat and she jumped to get help. Racing me to the hospital they said I had a severe allergic reaction to what I ate. But I was confused why would steak tacos have nuts in it. The doctor assumed maybe the tacos was next to something with nuts in it.

"We can not tell Delano about this. I won't be able to live this down" I said.

"Secret is safe with me" she smirked.

I jumped up out of my sleep. Sweating and all. Trying to catch my breath. I wonder if she purposely put nuts in my food. Maybe that's why the waiter questioned her. I was such a dummy. I think she got turned on when she tried to kill me and then bring me back from death.

I couldn't sleep anymore. So I got up and went to clean around the house. Not realizing time flew by. Delano opened my door and Salem ran inside. "The teacher said she is doing so good!".

"Oh really? That's good!" I smiled. Delano's scent was strong today. I couldn't help but smile when I inhaled it. "Let me go..." he said. He better go before I attack. Lord, I'm all hot. Taking a piece of paper I started fanning myself to cool down. Why didn't I notice he smelled like that before?.

Salem was busy watching frozen for the millionth time. I continued to clean around that's when I found Levi's watch. It must've fell off his arm when Delano roughed him up. Picking it up and instant flashback came to...

"Just stay still... and relax. It'll be over when it's over" feeling his rough hands roaming around my body but I couldn't move. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. Tears were streaming down my face. Trying to kick around but I don't think it's doing much. That's when I felt it coming up! I rolled somewhat over to vomit. "Eww what the fuck?!". He jumped off of me and stared at me like I inconvenienced the moment.

"Bria!!! Get in here!!!" He yelled. She stumbled in and saw me "Are you done already?!".

"Nah she's throwing up! I think she had a bad reaction to the drug" he said.

"Oh shit! She needs to go to the hospital" she said.

"Yeah but we don't say anything. Pretend you don't know shit!" He warned.

I dropped his watch when I came to. That party was the worst night of my life. I was confused and just emotional. But Bria made sure to quiet me down. She was so nice to me for the next couple of weeks. Until her boyfriend told me it was her who drugged me and I shouldn't be her friend.

His name was Lee... but it was short for something. Lord, please don't tell me it's Levi!. Oh crap that's why I'm having flashbacks. It was him! He moved out of Scottsdale shortly after this happened. How in the world did he find me?. It never ends. Never!.
