Page 51 of Sin With Me
Delilah
Right before you arrived, I found out Jonah’s sister is married to Wesley. Based on what Jonah told me, I think he’s the one Wesley was watching at the Twisted Bull.
Wilder
Jesus Christ.
Which means it’s possible Jonah knows I’m the one who slept with his sister and could potentially use Delilah to get back at me.
Delilah
If what Wesley said about the drugs is true, then he could be talking about Jonah. I didn’t know if his true intention was to apologize or something else, so I told him I had to go.
I stare at the screen, my jaw locking and teeth grinding hard. That dipshit being related to Wesley makes this more twisted and fucked up. But I can’t react with guns blazing so she doesn’t know how heated this news makes me.
Wilder
You need to stay away from him.
Delilah
Already planned on it. I’m not trusting anyone I don’t know considering that damn article.
Wilder
Good.
I don’t know what else to say at this point. Probably why it takes her a few minutes to reply.
Delilah
Anyway…just wanted to tell you in case you saw him again. Better to be safe than sorry and keep your distance. The last thing you need is him antagonizing you on purpose.
Wilder
Duly noted.
If I see Jonah again, I’m putting my fist through his face for the ripple effect he caused.
Consequences be damned.
Delilah
I was startled to see you at the cafe after I’d just found out, so I’m sorry for not telling you sooner.
Wilder
Not surprised since you don’t wanna talk about a lot of things.
Yeah, I’m still butt hurt about it. Not because I can’t take rejection, but she’s the only woman I’ve caught feelings for, and I’m so goddamn tired of hiding them. The more I see and talk to her, the harder it gets to keep my distance.
But then getting to kiss and touch her? It’s a miracle I haven’t dropped to my knees tobegher to give me a chance. I understand why she’s hesitant, but I wish she’d let me prove her wrong.
Delilah
That’s not fair. I already told you…I haven’t felt like myself since my dad died and getting involved when I’m struggling this much wouldn’t be fair to you. It wouldn’t be a real shot. There’d be too much on the line if it went south. So for now, can you just forget it happened and go back to the way things were before that night?
Wilder
