Secret Mistake 3

94.

TRIGGER WARNING!!!!

DELANO POV

My alarm went off. Forgot Gia and I had a couples therapy appointment today. Looking up at the house I wanted to go into and sighed. Next time I'll get this idiot. Slowly pulling away I met Gia at the therapist office.

"And there he goes" she smiled.

"Sorry, I got caught up" opening the door for her to walk through. We both went up to the third floor. "I left Ryan in charge until we got back" she said.

"Ryan? Are you sure he can handle Salem and Harlow?" I asked.

She nodded "Salem will be beside Kai and well Harlow she isn't a hand full".

The elevator doors opened up. Holding the door with my arm so Gia could walk out. "This whole session is making me nervous!".

"Why?" I asked.

She shrugged "just not wanting to hear anything surprising".

"You'll be fine" I walked behind her into the room. Her therapist stood up to greet us "Well hello!".

I smiled and Gia smiled.

"I'm so happy both of you agreed to do this!" She said. We both took a seat next to each other on the sofa. The therapist sat back down in her chair.

"So? Let's get down to business" she said.

Glancing at Gia cause this women didn't waste any time. "So Gia has told me about you cheating on her with her sister. Now my question is... what made you cheat?".

Not wanting to talk about this...

"When I was with Bria... we weren't together. We were broken up. Why did I choose Bria? Well, she was there for me when I had no one. Not even having Gia around made me feel alone. When Bria paid attention and was there I enjoyed it. It felt nice to have someone around me".

Gia looked uncomfortable.

"So you chose to be with this woman instead of being there for your daughters birth?" She asked.

"That day was a big mistake. I still regret not being there for that" I said.

Gia glanced at me.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there. I truly am" I said. Grabbing her hand into mine. She gave me a small smile. "Gia have you forgiven Delano?". She looked at me and down. "Gia?".

"Umm... to be honest. No" she said. Her therapist looked at me and back at Gia. "Delano can you help tell gia on why you cheated on her? And why her sister?". Shifting myself in my seat. I didn't want to discuss this anymore. Actually I didn't want to hurt Gia anymore.

"In my world... I felt disconnected from Gia. She was doing her thing without me. Our bond we once had was gone. Along with my broken ego... Bria slowly started talking to me. We kept it friendly. She would call and check on me once a week. Then the conversation went from once to twice then three times a week. Eventually we met up and a spark flew. She fed my ego. In the back of mind I knew it was wrong. But she protested that Gia and I weren't together so what harm would it do. Now when Salem was born.. I did go to her home. And yes, we had sex. Madison and I had a big argument over the same shit. I needed to get out so I went to see her. Never did I realize that Gia would go into labor. She was due later on within the week. I hated myself for missing Salem's birth. I felt like shit for a while. Once that happened I vowed to myself to stop whatever I'm doing with Bria and commit to gia. I tried I really did. But then we got into something and I went to see her to get my anger out. We had sex and I knew I had a problem. This time I cut all ties with her. She was upset. Furious. But I didn't want to do this anymore. When she told me she was pregnant I was surprised because we always used a condom. She wanted to keep it. But I didn't want anything to do with her or that baby. No offense. I am sorry for everything that I did" I said.

Hearing Gia sniffle. I rubbed my thumb over her hand.

"Delano that was brave for you to let it all out there! But can I ask why Bria?".

"Because in reality Bria and I would be perfect for each other. In the world of money. We would be the dream couple. The it factor. When I was with her I felt like everyone was applauding me. But in the end I wanted Gia. She was the complete opposite of Bria. That's what I love about Gia" I said.

Gia looked at me and back down again. "Gia are you okay?".

She nodded "just this topic is sensitive for me".

"I understand but it's the only way you'll heal. No secrets!" The therapist said.

Gia didn't respond back. She just kept looking at her hand that was on her lap.
