—Delilah Quinn—
I found myself in the kitchen after school because I was very hungry. I didn't know why I had such an appetit right now but I did. Besides, Rosalie was coming over and I wanted to cook something nice for her. After all, the confession I got today was very food awarding.
The twins weren't home and neither were my parents, not that it was much of a surprise but it was good seeing as I was planning on doing a lot more than cooking with Rosalie.
As I put a tray of baked chicken into the oven, I turned over towards my fridge and I took out some red and yellow-ish apples for a quick snack. I knew I most likely wasn't going to b able to finish much of my food but I had a tendency of eating while I was bored. It was a huge red flag of mine.
And just as I was about to slice the last slice of the apple, the doorbell rang. I smiled before slowly placing my knife down and wiping my hands off. My feet stumbled up to the door as I opened it, revealing Rosalie. She was smiling just as much as me and she was honestly adorable. She had on something as simple as a white graphic shirt with simple gray sweatpants. Something so simple but someone truly breathtaking made it look like a million dollars.
"Hey..." She said softly as she held out a bouquet of Peonies.
My skin was melting just as much as my heart due to the amount of heat she was causing on me. I was a flustered mess.
"Hey, Rose." I said,
"These are for you." She extended the flowers.
I happily took them from her as I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. I watched as her skin drowned in red before she looked away from me, smiling.
"I hope you didn't eat anything because I've prepared you something homemade." I say before reaching and grabbing her hand as I pulled her in and shut the door behind us.
She followed behind me as she let me pull her in the direction of where we walked with her other hand at the edge of my waist. When we got into the kitchen she spun me around and smiled at me before cupping my face and brushing my braids out of my face.
"You look so beautiful." She muttered as her lips teasingly brushed against mine but never fully leaned in for a full and committed kiss.
I leaned up to feel the touch of her lips but she only backed away and teased me more. She then smiled with her lips still brushing softly against mine. A moment later, she leaned over and slowly kissed my cheek once again before leaning back and rubbing her thumb against my cheek.
"So fucking beautiful." She muttered before turning over towards the oven, "and whatever you're making smells good."
I rolled my eyes before walking over to the oven and checking to see if it was done. As I did so, she excused herself and said that she needed to use the bathroom.
Was I happy with her presence? Hell yes. Was I happy with her teasing me and not even getting a proper kiss? No. Maybe I deserve it a little. I mean, come on, I had her on her knees in front of most of the school and probably left her embarrassed. It was best she made me work for it and boy was I going to.
I turned back over to my apple as I took out another for her and I began to cut it. Maybe I was blinded by trying to cut these apples or maybe I just wasn't paying attention but I felt something grab me and I didn't hesitate to jump and grab the person's hand as I proceeded to hold the person against the wall with the knife against their throat.
I don't know why it was a shock to me but it was Rosalie that stood behind me. I couldn't be too careful with all the shit going on nowadays.
"You scared the shit out of me." I said as I still held her up.
She looked down at the knife and smiled. She then lowered the knife from my hand with her stupid grin on her face.
"And you might have just made me realize I have a knife kink." She joked, I think.
Her teeth chewed on her bottom lip as she looked as she found this somewhat attractive. There was no telling what was going on with Rosalie and her mind. I was only left with guesses.
"Besides, you didn't seem so scared a few seconds ago." She pushed herself away from the wall and hovered over me, "You were so badass." She muttered, reaching and trailing her hands down and around my waist before trying to kiss me but I leaned back. She frowned and it was the cutest thing that I've ever seen. "Aw, come on. Not one kiss?"
"Why didn't you kiss me sooner?" I asked,
"Had to make you work for it. My mind, heart and soul all agreed that you're too damn cute to withhold on a kiss for any longer." She then leaned closer and her lips touched my ear making me quite insane for the moment being, "Besides, you're the chef and I have to pay you with something. My luck was that the food came with a full damn meal and dessert" She muttered into my ears.
I hummed, "Is that so?" I asked,
"Yeah, very much so, and I'm ready for the full damn meal." She says before she placed a small kiss onto my neck and then my cheek. "So where do you want it?" She trailed off before taking the knife and placing it on the counter behind me and then gripping my legs and picking me up.
My heart was nearly in my throat, "Put me down, Rose. I'm way too heavy and I'm going to fall." I said as I tried to break free.
She scoffed before readjusting herself so that she could hold me up with her hands gripping my thighs that surrounded her as my arms hooked around her shoulders. She then shook her head before turning around and walking into the hallways of my house. It was like she knew the place the way she knew exactly where my family's guest room was.
When we got there she kicked the door shut behind us as she leaned down and placed me flat on the bed and then knelt down with her lips finally meeting mine. They didn't stay there for long because she moved her kisses towards my neck and then down to my shoulder.
"Too heavy?" She whispered against my skin, "I work out almost everyday, Delilah. You're as light as a feather." She then kissed up towards my neck again as her hands met my waist. Her thumb rubbed against my skin and I gasped before stopping her.
She looked at me weirdly before tilting her head as if she was asking me what was wrong without actually asking.
"You came over to talk with me, not this." I muttered,
She quickly got up and nodded as her eyes softened. She then fixed her clothes as she even offered to help me fix myself up.
"I didn't come over to have sex with you, Delilah. I actually want to talk about us, and i' only okay with whatever you're okay with."
I then sat up right beside her on the bed and I reached for her hand and took it into mine before rubbing my thumb over the back of her hand.
"I was okay with it. I just..." I looked down at our hands, "You touched one of my scars and the last person that did was disgusted with-"
"I'll kill them." She says,
I shook my head and pinched the bridge of my nose with my free hand as she just looked at me without hesitation in the world with her words.
"For what, Rosalie? Because they touched me? I can promise you that you'll be the last person to touch something as disgusting as my scars. I didn't even want you to touch them."
She scoffed, "Disgusting? What the hell is wrong with you?"
She then rushed off the bed and there she was on her knees, for me, for the 3rd time. She was right in between my legs as she gripped my thighs and dragged me closer to her; the edge of the bed. She then lifted my shirt and looked up at me as her thumb ran back over my scars. It was honestly embarrassing for me.
"You're beautiful, Delilah. Every part of you. Whoever the hell was blessed with the sight of them should feel honored and I'll kill them for talking with such disrespect. Give me a name, Delilah." She says with nothing but seriousness in her face.
I sighed before shaking my head and turning away from her. "You can't go killing people because they said something mean to me." I assured her.
"If you don't tell me a name, I'll find out either way." She assures,
There was nothing I could say to stop her and I was just going to let that be. She knew I wasn't going to protest so she just shrugged and leaned in and placed a small kiss on my scar, which sent shivers down my spine before she got up from the floor and kissed me.
"That food is going to burn if I don't go check it." I said before leaning in and kissing her once more.
I then escaped her hold and made my way downstairs asI heard her footsteps behind me every step of the way.
-
"That was honestly amazing." she says as she wipes her mouth with her napkin and then places it down on the table.
"Thank you very much." I say before getting up and moving the plate away from her a little before leaning down and kissing her on the forehead. "Are you sleepy?" I asked,
She shook her head before hooking her arm around my waist and pulling me down and onto her lap. She attacked me with kisses as I couldn't help but smile.
"I want to talk." She says, "About us." I took a deep breath before nodding and she smiled. "I want you, and I want us. The only question is what do you want?" She asked,
"I want us, more than anything but Joshua-"
"No. Fuck Joshua." She shook her head,
"You have to listen to me-"
"No, I don't want to hear about him. I don't want to hear that you and him have something going on at all. So if you don't want me then say it but don't bring him into this." She says, hesitantly.
"Let me talk, Rose. I don't have feelings for Josh. I want you, and only you. I just agreed to fake dating Josh because of a reason that I can't say. It's not my reason to give." I say as I looked down and away from her.
"Okay, that's not a problem. I can work with that, but he's going to have to get his own girlfriend."
I smiled before wrapping my arms around her shoulders, "Girlfriend?" I hummed,
"Yeah, wife fits you more but we don't want to jump so far ahead." She says before pecking me on the lips over and over again. She smiled against my lips before pecking it once more, "We should have had this talk sooner."

That following week, I stumbled up and into my house as I was interrupted with the presence of my whole damn family. When the hell did they decide to have a family reunion?
"Hello, Lilah. It's great to see you." My Aunt Paige says,
Only a smile was returned from me. I couldn't exactly say I was pleased to see her because I didn't know the reason why I was seeing her. Any other time and they wouldn't be here at all, I had every right to be suspicious.
"Hello, Auntie P. What brings you guys here?" I asked,
"We wanted to discuss some things as far as you and that girl you're always with. I've done a background check and it's not looking too bright." My aunt Andrea says.
A background check? What the hell does she mean she did a background check? And how did they even know about Rosalie? It's only been a freaking week.
"Can you guys just leave me alone? Stay out of my love life." I say before I tried walking past them and upstairs but my Uncle Tyler stopped me as he walked into the living room.
"I don't think so, you're the CEO of the BMMC, you're my niece and you're not going to risk your life along with this company with some girl. We've found out that not only are you messing around with the enemy but you're dragging this company with you." My uncle Tyler said,
"She's not whatever you think she is." I said,
"Yeah, I'm sure she isn't. Why would your silly play thing somehow have a file on you." He then looked over towards my mothers, "Tell her, Rore. Tell her about the storage room you've found."
I scoffed before looking over towards my mother, "No, Rosalie and I have just started whatever the hell we have. There's no way-"
"Lilah...She's been watching you for longer than we can trace and even someone before her. She's got everything on you and even your finger prints to frame you. I'm sorry, Delilah, but you're being fooled. Nothing new when it comes to a Cartier."
I was lost. Confused. Concerned.
