Secret Mistake 3

136.

GIA POV

Now this is getting ridiculous that we are still down here. I hope Ryan isn't trying to keep us down here overnight. He better not play with me!. I'm pregnant and will not be sleeping on this chair or floor!.

"Who's Birthday is coming up next?" Delano asked.

"It's December... so mine and then kai's" I said.

"Oh that's right you and Kai are right next to each other" he said.

"Yup" I said.

"Do you remember when I brought you those flowers for your birthday?" He asked.

"Yeah... I was like wtf. Everyone was teasing me about you liking me. That pissed me off so I trashed the flowers. Sorry" I said.

He shrugged "I saw it in the trash. This whole time I was she didn't like the flowers".

"No the flowers were fine. But people teasing me like children wasn't" I said.

"Oh" he said.

"Speak about birthdays! Do you remember when bria found out when your birthday was. So she baked the whole place cupcakes. But then when she handed you yours you told her you don't eat sweets. She was so upset!. That was the only time I was smiling inside" I said.

"Well I don't eat sweets. You knew that. When you would offered me candy I told you" he said.

"Duh, I knew that but I didn't tell her anything. So when you said that and the look on her face made me happy" I smiled.

"But if I remember correctly you did give me sugar free cupcake you bought at the store" he smirked.

"And? You ate it? Right?" I asked.

He smirked "I did. You saw me eat it".

"Well then there you go mister I don't eat sweets" I joked. He came over and pulled the other chair and placed it next to me and sat down. Placing his hand on my thigh "don't get no ideas".

"Me?" He smirked.

"Yeah you! I bet you couldn't go without sex for a month" I joked.

"After losing the last one you still want to make more bets? He asked.

"Why not? Let's bet that you can't have sex for a month and if you lose then... you have to rub my feet and cater to me" I said.

"That's it? And if I win you know what I want and I get it whenever I want for a full month" he smirked.

"Deal" I smiled. He's going to lose this bet like it's nobodies business. We sat there in silence for a few more minutes.

"Gia let me ask you. Name three things you need from me?" He asked.

"In what sense?" I asked.

"Meaning in this marriage. What three things do you need from me in order for us to survive" he said. Tapping my finger on my chin as I thought.

"One, you could watch what you say. You know I'm struggling mentally everyday. You can't just come home and be upset and say things. Think before you speak. Two, you need to listen more. Instead of just hearing what you want. And three, show our kids the father you wish you had growing up. Don't show them the father that they remember was coming home drunk being mean to mom".

He nodded "ill start on that for you".

"What three things could I do for you? And no sexual things!" I said.

He laughed "umm... one I know this will be hard for you but try and be more affectionate. A kiss here or there. A hug out of nowhere would be nice. Two, telling me you love me. Now starting off it could once a month but at least you're reminding me. And three, I want you to communicate with me more about your mental issues. Don't keep it to yourself. We are a union so I'm here as well to help you as much as I can".

Taking his hand into mine "I'll try". He picked up my hand and kissed it "that's all I ask".

Another hour passed by. My feet were on fire. Delano took notice and took my legs onto his lap. "Better?".

I nodded "yes!".

"Did you see yourself having six kids?" He asked.

"Nope! I didn't see myself having any kids" I said.

"Is that why you remained a virgin until well..." he smirked.

Playfully smacking his arm "no! Smart ass it's because well when you almost get raped twice I mean would you want to have sex with someone? You know I'm stupid. I'm a damn moron. I allowed this evil bitch around me even though I had people tell me she was no good. But because my mind was so traumatized I allowed her to continue to abuse me. I'm truly an idiot. Then having her around our children. I'll never be able to forgive myself. Putting Ryan in that situation or Salem. The times I failed as a mother" I said.

"Hey, don't ever say that. You are a wonderful mother. Our kids are lucky to have such a wonderful caring nurturing person to be their mom" he said.

In all honesty I felt dumb and played. I didn't see Bria for what when Really was. Especially after all the times she's harmed me. And I still was blind to her actions.
