Delilah's reign

chapter 9 (secrets)

I walked out of the room pleased with my reply as I mentally gave myself a tap on the shoulder

"That would teach her not to mess with me" I thought to myself as I made my way into my room

it's been so long since I spoke to Chloe, I've missed our none stop bantering and gist's that would last hours, we've been best friends since high school

funny enough no one ever believed we would be friends not to talk of close friends since we didn't speak until the second year of senior high, we were complete polar opposites and at the same time extremely alike

I looked around trying to remember where I had left my phone and then i remembered I left it on the counter at that ice cream place when I picked up my cup of ice cream

"Wonderful, just wonderful Del" I thought to myself mentally face palming as i rushed down the stairs making my way to the main entrance

I decided to drive this time since I was in a hurry and I sure as hell didn't want to walk again so I decided to ask Alonzo if I could borrow his car

I turned on my heels about to rush upstairs when I heard muffled noises coming from the living room

"Alonzo" I said walking into the living room utterly shocked when I saw Hira sitting on his legs her hands rapped around his neck as their lips were about to collide

I stood there looking at both of them as a wave of surprise and sudden anger consumed me, the both turned their heads in my direction shock evident in Alonzo's eyes
My eyes shifted to the skanky slut on his legs smirking at me

I mentally argued with myself on whether or not to beat the shit out of her, but then I decided not to, I'm not going to stop to her level

"It's not-" He started obviously about to explain the scene I had just walked into

"Don't, I was just on my way out" I said as I made my way out of the house

"Del" a very familiar voice called from behind as I made way towards the gate
I stopped on my tracks as he stood in front of me
"It's not..- we weren't going to..- it's not what you think..."

"So you two weren't about to kiss and she wasn't sitting on your laps with her hands rapped around your neck?... Look, you don't have to explain anything because I don't need your explanation, also whatever happened that night was a simple mistake so you have absolutely no reason to feel like you need to explain

This is all just business so you can have sex with whoever and in this case whatever you like... Now please excuse me I've got something urgent to do... I'm sure you she's waiting for you" I said as brushed passed him making my way out of the gate

"So much for driving" I thought to myself as I walked on the street tired and hungry

After more than 10 long minutes of walking I finally got to the shop, I walked straight to the counter where I picked up my ice cream earlier to ask if they had seen my phone

"Hi, I was here earlier today I think I dropped my phone here" I said to the tall brunette standing behind the counter

"I'm sorry miss but we didn't find anything like that" she said

"Great, just great" I thought to myself as I thanked her

"If you don't mind can I get a cup of chocolate chip and cookie dough ice cream?...thank you" I said
I've walked all the way here I might as well treat myself to something sweet

As I walked out of the shop I bumped into someone instantly spilling my ice cream on him
"Oh my, I'm so sorry let me get that"

"Its okay"

"Wait, I know you" I said looking at him
"Yes from yesterday, you forgot something here" he said a small smile playing on his face as he brought out my phone handing it to me
"Thank you but how did you know I would be here?" I asked curious

"I didn't, I was going to bring it here"

"Uhh...okay but-"

" But nothing, you have your phone now yes?, Now to get this stain off" he said looking at his shirt I had previously ruined with my ice cream

"I'm really sorry about your shirt, I can be really clumsy sometimes" I said as I handed him the little serviette that came with my ice cream
"It's no problem" he said still trying to wipe the stain off

"Where to?" He asked with one eyebrow raised
"Home" I replied, internally smiling at how funny his face looked in that weird position
"Need a ride?, I pretty much don't have anything else to do right now"

"No, but thanks for asking I live very close"
"Good so it'd be a lot easier to drop you off, you spilled your ice cream on me, I think it's fair you let me take you home" he said a big smile plastered across his face showing off his pearl whites

"Funny logic but okay, first I have to get another cup, I am hungry and tired" I said letting out a little laugh

"Ice cream for lunch I'll have one too" he said smiling as we walked into the shop together, we spent a little more time than we expected inside since he had somehow convinced me to sit down for a chat

------------------------

The drive home was filled with him asking questions and me doing the same, in that short while I got to know he owned clubs and restaurants around the state and that he's only around for a meeting

As the car pulled up in front of the house I could see his face change into a very displeased look, "was it the house?, what's there not to like about a mansion?" I thought to myself

"You live here?" He asked that same unreadable expression on his face
"Yes, temporarily... I think" I said looking at him trying to understand the sudden change in mood
"Is there a problem?" I asked curiously
"No, no there isn't" he said forcing a smile on his face as he looked at me
"Hmm, well okay" I said giving him a toothy smile making him chuckle
"You should get going yes?" He said a smile still on his face
"Yeah, I should" I said getting out of the car

About to walk away I stopped on my tracks just as he turned the engine on
"Thanks for bringing back my phone, also thanks for the ride, I really didn't want to walk back" I said smiling
"My pleasure" he said smiling

I walked towards the gate, giving him a quick wave as I got inside
"Why did his mood change so much when he discovered this is where I stay?" I thought to myself as I walked towards the main entrance. It was just too obvious not to notice

"Here we go again" I said to myself as I opened the door making my way into the house
