Secret Mistake 3

92.

DELANO POV

Closely watching Salem's old teacher as he left his home to run errands. The things I wanted to do to this pathetic disgusting piece of shut. Never in my life have I hated someone so much. Now usually I would go on inside his home but I wanted him there when I walked through the front door.

Salem was on my mind. Feeling so guilty for letting this happen. As a father I should be protecting her from people like him. It's like trying to protect gia but I lost that battle. I was doing things for Gia in the beginning I wouldn't normally do.

Memory...

"Becka can you do me a big favor?" I asked. Becka was that one employee who was always busy. She loved to work. "Sure! What could I do for you?".

"Gia hasn't been the nicest girl lately. I was wondering if you could get her to come to my office at twelve" Becka raised her brow "I guess I could help you out". I smiled "thanks". She walked out the door... that's when I decorated a little. I've never been a romantic person but that might change.

Moments later I heard a commotion traveling up my way. I knew it was gia. Becka will be up my ass for having to deal with gia. The door opened up and she stopped "what the hell is going on here?".

"Surprise! I figured we could have lunch together. Since you can't keep anything down. You can at least try and eat" I smiled. Gia scrunched up her face looking around "this is what you had Becka get me for?".

"Would you have came willingly?" I asked.

"Nope" she smirked.

"Well come on in and take a seat" pulling out her chair. She cautiously sat down "why are you doing all of this?".

I shrugged "I think you are changing me... I never used to do this".

"Changing you? Non sense. Delano it seems you could be confused. You think it's me but trust me it's not. Maybe this pregnancy got you going crazy" she said.

"It's not the pregnancy. It's you!. Everything about you gia I admire" she laughed loudly "how many women have you used that cheesy ass line on?".

"I'm trying to be serious here" I said. She fixed her face "oh sorry go ahead. You were admiring me" her face cracked a smile.

"Yes, I admire you! You are a caring, sweet, nurturing young women" I said. Gia reached over the table to touch my forehead "what are you doing?".

"Making sure you aren't sick. Or coming down with a cold or something" gently grabbing her wrist "I'm fine... but I'm trying to explain to you how I feel".

"Before you continue Shakespeare... how come you didn't send Bria to come get me?" She took a sip of the water. "For one I didn't think about it. And second Bria has this new attitude".

"Ah, Yes! I've met that new side as well" she joked.

For a quick second I just stared at Gia. She was slowly eating the bread. At that moment I wanted to kiss her. To show her how I felt about her. Gia has done the one thing all my exes have tried to no avail. Tame me. Gia has done that without trying or even noticing. "Why are you staring at me like that?".

"I like what I see".

"Take a picture it'll last longer" and here comes the sarcasm. It has to make an appearance at least once. Almost forgetting the flowers I got for her. "Oh I got you something". Going into the small draw and pulling out a bouquet of flowers. "Delano no offense but this is a bit weird".

"Was the flowers too much?" I asked.

"Just everything! It's too much" she said.

"Oh, I'm just trying to wine and dine you" I said.

"I get it. I do. But like I said we aren't together anyway" that's the one thing I hated. When she constantly tells herself we aren't together. "Gia... I thought we went through this already".

"We did But your the one that doesn't get it. Us, We aren't an item. A couple. Boyfriend/ Girlfriend. It just so happened I got knocked up from our one night encounter. That's it. Stop trying to push us together".

"You're the one in denial. Any other female would be elated from the amount of attention I was giving you. But instead you just push me further away. Pushing away won't erase the fact you're pregnant. Or that I'm the father of that baby".

"Well since any other female would love your attention... then be my guest. At least you'll be able to leave me alone for once" she got up and stormed out. I wanted to punch the wall so bad. Great! Now she won't talk to me for a couple of days.

Looking at the scene in front of me. The flowers sat on the table. It wasn't suppose to go this way. She was suppose to be happy and surprised by my gesture. Instead, she ran out of here because I hurt her feelings. Any other guy would've given up but I can't. There's something in me pushing me to fix it.
