Secret Mistake 3

134.

GIA POV

Its been a couple of hours and we are still locked down here. Ryan wasn't playing. I was starting to get hungry. These twins could eat. Must take after Salem. Delano must've noticed he walked to the small fridge and pulled out some crackers and cheese. Before making sure it wasn't spoiled.

"You look hungry" he said.

"I am" I smiled.

"You know since we both been abused. What was your escape from it?" He asked.

Opening the crackers and cheese "well funny you ask. I used to go to your beach. Actually I was there when I left home". Delano grabbed my hand "Wait? You used to come sit on my beach every day around four? And you were there when I caught you with your bags?.

I nodded "yeah, why? Oh wait? Why didn't I realize it was you then. I must've forgotten".

Delano jumped up covering his face "I can't believe it! I was always wondering what that girls name was. But anytime you would try and tell me we would get interrupted. Wow! When I saw you you intrigued me. From then I wanted to know who you were but you were young and I wasn't trying to get arrested" he said.

"I can't believe I forgot all about that! Wow! We ran into each other so many times and we didn't even know we would be together years later" I said.

"I'm in disbelief! Crazy how the universe works. So were you at the Halloween party I had that year on the beach?" He asked.

"Yup. Bria convinced me to go. I had that ridiculous masquerade mask on. She had a sexy outfit but forgot mention to me it was a costume party".

"I remember. When I realized it was the same girl who I would always see I had to go talk to you. But then we got interrupted".

"But we saw each other again and then you had a young lady who was all over you" I said.

"Oh yeah! I remember. It's crazy how we didn't come into each other until eight years later. Then you wasn't the same nice girl anymore" he said.

"Been through a lot in those eight years. Almost died twice. Almost raped. The list goes on. I'm an idiot for allowing Bria to constantly hurt me. So dumb. Then the miscarriage happened. That was completely my fault" I said.

"That wasn't your fault it was mine. If I haven't entertained her from the beginning maybe another baby would be here along with the others" he said.

It got silent again. The only thing you heard was the ruffle of the crackers paper. "You want some?".

"No I'm good. Just make sure the twins eat up" he said. Can't say I didn't offer. "Gia when you first out about being pregnant with Ryan. Were you initially going to tell me?".

"Honestly, no. I was terrified. Didn't think I would even have children. Wasn't on my list of goals. Then with you being with Jessica... I was like I need to take this out. I didn't want drama or problems. Then I didn't know what your reaction would be. So all the possible negative scenarios were playing in my head".

He nodded.

"But now he's a grown boy who too smart for his own good" I joked.

"Do you think if Ryan never happened that we would eventually have gotten together?"he asked.

"With the way you were chasing after me. Maybe. It's like the road runner and the coyote"I said.

After chewing the piece of cheese in my mouth "so that party? Did you really come there for me? Or because Bria invited you?".

"I wasn't going to go. Didn't want to be around a lot of young adults. But I overheard you and Bria talking and how you were going to bring something to the party. So I knew you were going. That's when I made the decision to go. But when I got there Bria was over doing it with the hospitality. But you walked past me and what you were wearing and how you looked caught my eye. So I went in trying to act cool but you came out of nowhere dancing. Those hips were hypnotizing. I got up and joined you. Wasn't expecting your reaction. Then moments later I saw you stumbling and figured you needed help. But things went left quick".

"You mean how we had sex.." I said.

He smiled "yeah".

"How was it? I mean I wasn't much of an experienced person" I asked.

"You were fine. Knowing it was your first time I didn't have any expectations. As long as you were pain free and comfortable" he said.

"What a gentleman!" I joked.

"Did you want to marry me?" He asked.

I nodded "but I wish it wasn't so spontaneous. My nerves that day was all over the place. Never mind having three kids there as well". He smiled.

"Any broken bones?" He asked.

"Yup. Broke my arm when I was six. I was tripped and landed on it. My finger was broken as well. That was pulled back in punishment. You?".

"Broke my arm as well. That was pulled back. My mom was so mad at me. Then my leg. Was outside being a kid and I guess my mom wasn't happy I was happy so she tripped me and flipped and crashed on my leg. Breaking it in two places". It's so crazy how intertwined our childhoods are.
