I Love You Delilah

Andrew

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop!!!! STOP!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t want you. Stop texting me. STOP!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t like you. That’s it, you’re getting blocked.

“Hey sis, what’s up?”

“Oh lord, Andrew won’t stop texting me, it’s like he still thinks I’m in love with him.”

“Well Delilah you did date him for three years.”

“Yeah but we’ve also been broken up for 5 months.”

“So, It’s not that easy to get over someone like him, if you know what I mean…”

“Whatever Kora. ugh”

“Just saying.”

Andrew 

Happy Birthday loveyyyy!!!!!! -read 12:01 am

Hey, I know you read that.

Stop ignoring me.

OMFG ANDREW JUST SHUT TF UP!!!!!!!!!!

Jeez. Fine. Just wanted to make you happy. 

Well thanks but no thanks.

“Well shoot, so he does like me and I do like him but can’t tell anyone because that just proves I'm weak,” I whispered under my breath.

“Shoot.” “Shoot.” Shoot.” God why, whyyyyy, why can’t I just admit that I’m weak and I still like him,”I  whispered to myself.

“Why me…”

Andrew

Hey, Andrew can I talk to you in private?

My place at like 2 am?

Um.. u okay, you never text me first or want to talk to me. 

It’s important okay.

Yes!!! Be there at two!

Thanks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*knock* *knock*

“Shoot, he’s here,” I thought to myself.

“Hey! Delilah? You awake??”

“Coming!!!”

“Hi, Andrew.”

Hey, haven’t seen you in forever. How’ve you been?”

“Um…. okay I guess? Can you sit on the porch swing outside, I’ll be out in a minute?”

“Sure thing sweetie.”

“Yeah whatever.”

“Okay Andrew, I have something to confess, I..I...I…..Well I um… um...just kiss me already.”

“Damn bae, didn’t know you liked me like that much but okay.”

“Just kiss me and then we’ll talk.”

*kisses* *kisses again* *ends up kissing for ten minutes*

“Wow, so I see you still like me.”

“Yeah… kinda didn’t want to admit it after you know…”

“Look, I’m sorry about what I did to you, and I really miss you, and I still love you, but you’re family doesn’t like me and I don’t want you to get in trouble.”

*Kora walks outside*

OMFG I KNEW IT!!!!!!

“Oh hi Kora, thanks for making this awkward.”

“Sorry Andrew.”

“Okay fine I’ll leave y’all alone.”

*Kora walks back inside*

“Anyway, Andrew I love you okay and Kora is the only one that knows and my family can deal with us being together, I don’t care what they think.”

“Delilah.”

“What?”

“I love you. Happy birthday. I gotta go before my dad finds out I snuck out.”

“Okay. Love you too. Goodbye.”

“Bye Delilah.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*buzz* *buzz* *buzz*

“Holy shoot, forgot about that 8 am alarm,” I thought to myself.

Andrew

Can I come over around 10 today?

Sure Delilah.

Thanks.

Anything for my love.

Haha.

C’mon babe, you know you love me.

Whatever Andrew.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Please mom, let me go to my friends house, it is my birthday,” I begged my mom.

“Fine. But be back in time for dinner.”

“Thank Youuuu, Love ya mom.”

“Love you too, now get going before your late.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Andrew

Hey, I’m here.

Alright at the door right now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Andrew! Open your door. I know you’re right behind it!!”

“Sorry babe, gotta figure out our new lock.”

“Whatever. Your stupid.”

“Hey. Look I got it open.”

“Hey. Look, You’re still stupid.”

“You know you love me though.”

“True. True.”

“You gonna come in??”

“Oh sorry, yes.”

“We kissed for ten minutes again, which makes me even more stupid but whatever. I can’t even decide if I like him but I can kiss him?

Wow. I’m stupid.” I thought to myself while Andrew was in the bathroom.

“Hey. Andrew, I have to be home at 3 for family dinner but I’m having a party at 10. Do you wanna come?”

“Well I’d be stupid if I didn’t.”

“Thank you babe.”

“Anything for you, Delilah.”

We ended up falling asleep on his couch after watching a horror movie. I snuck out from under his strong arms at about 2:45 so I could get home in time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey mom. I’m home before three just like you wanted.”

“Thanks Delilah.”

“Good, she doesn’t suspect anything,” I thought to myself.

“Hey sweetie I’m sorry but we’re not going to be able to be here for your party.”

“Why?” “Thank God,” I whispered underneath my breath.

“Duty calls you know.”

“Yes, totally understand it.”

“Good. Oh and we’re not going to be back until Monday so enjoy your parent free weekend. We also told Kora to tell us if anyone comes over who wasn’t invited to your party or who we don’t approve of.”

“Okay mom. You already know I’m not like that.”

“Yes sweetie we know but we’re just so worried.”

“I’m gonna be okay, mom.”

“Good.” 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Andrew

You still up for tonight? It’s gonna be great!!

Yes. Anything for my love.

Whatever, but okay.

Lol.

Oh and don’t think I didn’t know you snuck away.

I was awake the whole time but didn’t want to wake you.

Aww. You’re so sweet. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey little sis, what’s up?”

“Holy, Kora you scared the crap out of me.”

“Sorry Haha!!”

“It’s ok.”

“So, how’s Andrew?”

“He’s doing good. He’s also coming over so please don’t tell mom or dad.”

“I won’t, I know how much you love him.”

“Don’t put it like that, but thank you.”

“Hahaha. you’re welcome.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*buzz* *buzz* *buzz* *buzz*

“Holy, wow so that’s a lot of texts, and an alarm.”

“KORA!!! Wow, so glad it was you in my room.”

“Well mom just left so have fun.”

“Cool. Thanks.”

“Yep, anything for my little sis, or should I say Andrews GIRLFRIEND.”

“Whatever Kora.”

“Hahaha. Have fun, that’s all, and nobody’s here so I'm allowed to say it.”

“True. And thank you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Andrew

Hey.

Delilah?

You okay?

Hey, I’m getting kind of worried.

Delilah???

Seriously. You okay?

Oh hey Andrew, sorry I was asleep.

Thank God, I thought you were in trouble or something.

Nope. Just tired. Lol

Lol. See you at 9?

Yes that’s okay.

Alright good. Wasn’t sure if that time’s early.

Nah. You’re good.

Okay. Love you.

Love you too Andrew.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Kora?”

“Yessss????”

“Can you help me set up for the party.”

“Yeah sure. As long as you pay me.”

“Well then never mind.”

“Alright fine, you don’t have to pay me.”

“Cool. Let’s get started.”

“Aight.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“And it’s done. *sigh*”

*loud knock on door*

“Hold on Andrew, I’ll be right there.

“Okay.”

“Welcome to my party ready home.”

“Damn, you can really decorate.”

“Well me and Kora did it together but yeah, I guess.”

“Um Delilah, can I have a word with you outside?”

“Sure. Just let me finish up some stuff real quick and I’ll be right out.”

“Okay babe.”

*Andrew sits on the swing outside*

“Hey. So what’s so important?”

“I’m so sorry for what I did to you,” Andrew sobbed.

I really do love you and have for all this time but I just can’t get over what I’ve done. You don’t deserve a guy like me and It’s so surprising that you even wanted to take me back.”

“Andrew! Andrew, It’s okay.”

“It’s not though, I’m such a horrible person, you don’t deserve anyone like me.”

“Andrew, calm down. If you want we can go and talk about this in my room.”

“Yes.”

“Okay, lets go.”

*they walk up the stairs to Delilah’s room. It’s now 9:15 pm*

“Andrew. I love you, It’s okay.”

No, It’s not, I’m a mess, and I’m so sorry.”

“I’m not mad anymore, you can stop crying now.”

*they kiss* *Andrew takes his shirt off* *Delilah stops*

“Sorry Delilah, I just, well took advantage of the moment.”

“Andrew, I love you so much, don’t ever forget that, but I need you to tell me the entire story.”

“Okay so..”

*they kiss again*

“Anyway…”

“DELILAHHHHHH” Kora interrupts then from the steps.

“What Kora?”

“One of your friends is here.”

“Okay, tell her I’ll be right down.”

“Aight.”

“Thank you.”

“Andrew, you can continue now.”

“Okay. So your friend, Maria, she texted me after one of her parties, she was really drunk and needed a ride, so I took her home and she invited me in for coffee, so I said yes because I thought nothing was going to go wrong, she locked the door behind me and took her clothes off, I wasn’t sure what was going on but she was hot, so I followed her to her room.”

“Damn, I didn’t know she was such a backstabbing liar.” I interrupted.

“So after we were in her room she threw herself on her bed and motioned for me to lay down. I did lay down and…” Andrews sobs interrupted his sentence.

“Calm down, I’m still in as much love with you as before. Andrew! Andrew! Andrew, continue, you’re okay.”

“Ok, so I was beside her and she started kissing me and I kissed her back, she… she didn’t stop. I eventually stopped her and she gave me her number. I don’t have it anymore but I did keep

it for a while. Damn I’m such a bad person.”

“I love you. Tell me more about this later. We have a party full of fake friends to tend to.”

*they kiss repeatedly and finally go down stairs*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was a surprise guest waiting for us downstairs.

“ Andrew. I’m going back upstairs.” 

“Why? Oh god, she’s here. Welp looks like I’m going back upstairs with you.”

*Kora runs upstairs looking for Delilah*

“Omg Delilah, I didn’t know she was here, I’ll have her gone within a second.”

“No. It’s fine. She ruins everything else, so It’s no surprise that she decided to ruin my sweet sixteen.”

“Delilah, I love you, I’ll go take care of this,” Andrew interrupted.

“Thanks Andrew but I can handle her myself.”

“No. Well do this together.”

“Fine.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“MARIA!!! WHY ARE YOU HERE. DID YOU COME TO RUIN MY PARTY LIKE YOU DO WITH EVERYTHING ELSE????”

“Hi. Delilah please calm down. I just came to apologize.”

“OH SO YOU JUST THINK YOU CAN WALTZ YOUR WAY INTO MY HOUSE, APOLOGIZE, AND MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER?

“Well duh.”

“THATS NOT HOW THAT WORKS YOU DUMB….”

Andrew interrupted me.

“Maria get your stupid face out of here, neither of us ever wanted to see you again but you just keep coming around. Why is that exactly?”

“Well Andrew, wasn’t expecting to see you here. Did you come because I told you I’d be here?”

“Oh heck no. I came because It’s my girlfriends sweet sixteen.”

“YOUR WHAT???!?!??”

“Yeah Maria, you heard me, Delilah is my girlfriend.”

“Whatever, I’m leaving.”

I let out a deep sigh, “Thank god.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guests start arriving in pairs of twos and threes. Everybody from school is here.

“Hey Delilah, Where do you want your gifts?”

“Oh just on the table over there.” I replied to a cheerleader from school.

 People kept walking in and out of the house, most of them getting drunk or high. Some of them just wandering  around.

Some of my real friends stayed until 1 am because their parents are strict. The party was kind of a dud until Kora started dj-ing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She shot that one look at me right before she played my favorite slow song.

“Hey uh, Delilah, will you dance with me?” Andrew said approaching from behind knowing this song was my favorite song.

“Yes. That would be lovely.”

He kissed me softly on the lips right before we started dancing, I eagerly kissed him back, a little harder than I meant to.

“Andrew, I love you.”

“I love you too Delilah.”

*dips me*

“Oh, wow, you’re such a good dancer.”

“Surprising right?”

“Yeah.” I said as I slowly dozed off onto his broad shoulders.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hey, Delilah, you kinda fell asleep.”

“Shoot. Wtf. I’m so clumsy sorry.”

“Don’t worry, It’s all good, you seemed comfortable.”

“Um...how did I get upstairs?”

“We’ll see you were asleep and very light so I carried you up here.”

“Oh god, I fell asleep on my own sweet sixteen, how lovely.”

“Delilah?”

“What??”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“You should probably go downstairs because there’s still a lot of people here who want to see you.”

“Shoot. You’re right.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I go back downstairs and

everybody’s watching me. I look at myself in the mirror and realize I’m in one of the most beautiful dresses ever.

“You’re welcome,” Andrew says from

behind me.

“Holy shoot. I’m beautiful.”

“You’ve always been beautiful.”

“Wait….did you do this?”

“Maybe?”

“Wow.”

“Happy sweet sixteen Delilah. I love you.”

“I love you too Andrew
