Delilah.

I opened my eyes as I heard the sound of something vibrating. I sat up as I looked around. I saw my jeans on the floor. I bend down without getting out of the bed and keeping the sheets still on as I picked the jeans up. I took out my phone from its pocket. Five missed calls from Jon and a few texts. I looked at the time.

It's seven in the morning and it's weekend. How the hell is she up? I didn't read her messages. I directly called her.

"I've been calling you for ages. Did you get my messages?" She yelled from the other side of the phone.

"Nope. Why? What's going on?" I asked.

"You know the friend you stayed over at." She said.

"Yeah." I said as I looked beside me. Troy was sleeping soundly next to me with his bare back towards the ceiling.

"So, I told mom and dad that it's a guy. And now they want to meet him."

"What? Why?" I asked.

"Because they freaked out when I told them it was a guy. And I told them that he was just a friend of yours. They don't believe me and they want to see what kind of person he is."

"That's absurd."

"You know how much protective they are. Come on now don't make things anymore complicated. They have invited Troy for brunch. So get off your ass and come back home now." She ordered me. She's younger than me but still she always boss me around.

"Fine. I'll talk to him." I sighed as I hung up.

"What is it?" Troy asked as I looked at him. His body was facing me now.

Wow. I didn't notice last night that he had such an amazing body.

I pushed all of my thoughts away. "It's just- I'm gonna drop a bomb on you. So don't freak out. Okay?" I said.

"Bomb? What?" He seemed confused.

"My parents want to meet you." I said in one breath.

"Why?" He asked calmly.

"Well, my sister told them that I stayed over at a guy's place and they're kind of freaking out. They just wanna see that if you're good company or not."

"Huh. Okay." He said as he fell asleep again.

"Hey, what are you doing? Wake up." I said but he didn't responded. "Troy, come on. Don't you dare sleep on me."

"I am daring." He replied with his eyes closed.

I sighed. "Fine, if that's what you want." I said as crept my hands under sheets and started to tickle him on his tummy.

"Stop!" He yelled as he quickly grabbed my hands and pushed me back on the bed as he got on to my body. He held me there for a few moments. As his eyes crept for my eyes to my lips. I saw a little hunger, a want and a need in his eyes.

"I'm really ticklish." He said as he got off of me. "I'm gonna go take a shower." He said as got off the bed. "You can use my bathroom. If you want and get dressed. We're going to your house." He said as he walked out of the room.

What I was doing when he was saying all that? I was staring at his ass. Trust me, it was the most muscular and nice ass I've ever seen.

Okay, Del. You really need to stop thinking like that about him. You're the one who told him last night that our sex meant nothing. And I think he just played along even though he didn't want to. It was pretty clear on his face. He might be good at many stuff but definitely not at lying.

Why I told him that? I don't know. When he said "Everyone keeps saying that" I just felt that. I knew exactly how he felt when someone says that to you. And I knew how much those words hurt. I kissed him because at first I wanted to comfort him. But then I felt like I wanted him. I didn't want to tell him that we're gonna keep our sex platonic. I don't know why but I just felt guilty. I felt like If I let Troy to get closer to me like become more than friends with him then I'll just be cheating on Flynn. I know Flynn's not here anymore but I just felt that it'll be like making fun of his love for me. But for some reason I wanted him. I wanted to hold him. To touch him. A lot of thoughts went through my brain in that short moment and I ended up saying those words to him. I saw the hurt across his face but I didn't know what to say to him. So I just went with the flow. You know how people make mistakes when they're young. Last night was one of that mistakes.

I sighed as I looked at my clothes scattered on the floor.

I think I just ruined the little sweet thing I had with Troy. I huffed a little as I held my face.

"My parents might ask you some weird shit so don't panic okay?" I said as he laughed.

"How much weird?" He asked.

"Well, first they're going to assume that we're dating. When you'll clear that up with them. Then they're going to assume that we're just having sex."

"Aren't we?" He asked softly with his eyes on road.

I sighed. "Look, Troy. I wanted to talk to you about it. It was only one time, okay? We're not doing that again. What I have with you.. I just.. I don't want to ruin it."

"Yeah, I get it." He said.

Sadness. I saw it on his face and once again I didn't say anything. He gave me the aux cable. He knew that the silence was too awkward between us and we could only cover all the distance to my home with music. I took the cable from his hand as I plugged my phone in. I selected the shuffle play option and Kygo's Firestone started playing. I leaned back in my seat as I looked outside the window.

The snow was all over the place. Thankfully the blizzard wasn't as bad as we expected it to be otherwise the roads would've been blocked.
