Delaney|

My eyes shot open and I let out a small gasp as my chest heaved. I looked down and I could see the shape of a head under the covers just below my hips. Though my body was hot, it shivered as I wrapped my legs around the body of my lover. I threw my head back as one of my legs ran up and down Andy's back.

The feeling of her tongue rushed me with emotions so early in the morning. I was super sensitive and before I knew it, I was arching my back off of the bed and letting out moans of ecstasy. F-ck. Waking up like this was like waking up in paradise. What the hell did I do to deserve such an amazing girlfriend?

Last night was beautiful. We had a good night out and then we made sweet, passionate love afterwards but here I was getting pleasure the morning after as well. This girl deserved a gold medal or something. Once this all got cleared up, I needed to do something really special for her. She's been so sweet and supportive since this whole thing happened with my father.

Andy peeped from under the sheets with a lazy smile. I giggled before biting my lip. "Morning," I told her with a grin

She laughed and kissed my jaw. "Morning, darlin'. I thought I would be your alarm clock this morning."

"You're the only alarm clock that I don't hate," I told her tiredly. Last night was a long night. I wasn't sure how she wasn't as exhausted as I was. We made love for hours and didn't go to sleep until 4 AM and here she was energized at 10 AM. "I have to talk to my father today and I have hickeys."

"He's going to hate me even more, huh? Maybe he'll come around. I know Camilo will. If not, then I'll do what I have to do and make sure I do it civilly. Hopefully, things don't go to sh-t," she told me softly as she rolled over to her side of the bed. She got up slowly and began stretching. "You want breakfast?"

My stomach turned at the fact that today was going to be the final decision. I was going to go to my dad and beg him to let go of his unnecessary jealously, but I feared that he wouldn't give in. I didn't want to lose him or Andy but if I had to choose, he had to go. It was horrible but at least, Andy was so considerate about it. She knew this was hard for me and I appreciated how much she cared that I made the right decisions.

She wanted me to do what was best for me but my father, on the other hand, was selfish. I guess after not having me for so long, he finally wanted me all to himself but that wasn't how things worked. I wasn't a little girl anymore. He gave me away, so it was his fault that he missed out on so many years.

"I don't think I can eat until I get this settled. I think I'm going to get ready and head over to my parents. Maybe my dad will have a clear head since it's morning and all." I slowly sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed.

Andy frowned at me. "You should eat something, darlin'. At least something light."

"I don't think I could keep it down."

Andy walked over to me and hugged me from behind. She kissed my neck repeatedly until I let out a laugh. "There's that beautiful laugh I love to hear. Listen, everything's going to be alright. No matter what. I got you. I'm going to take care of you. Camilo will come around and when your father sees how much this is hurting you, I think he'll come around too."

-

Before heading to my father's house, I texted Camilo to make sure he could be present as well. He agreed and we ended up meeting each other outside of my father's house. We stood out in the front lawn and talked briefly before heading in. It was obvious that I was nervous about what my father was going to say. Would he choose peace or war? Would Camilo follow him? It was really f-cking with my head. My hands were shaking and my voice trembled as I spoke to Camilo.

"If things go to sh-t, Camilo, I need you to be on my side. I don't want this just as much as you don't, but I don't think I can win him over. He wants Andy dead and I can't let that happen. I'm choosing Andy. I want you and mom to be safe, but I don't think I can save him."

Camilo stood across from me and swallowed hard. I could tell this was stressing him out as well. He wasn't as youthful and giddy as he always was. "What he's doing is f-cked up and selfish. If he doesn't agree to peace then...I'm with you and Andy. I haven't heard sh-t from mom. I haven't even seen her, so I don't know where her heart lies but it can't be with this."

"Hopefully, she's in there and can help him reason."

Camilo nodded his head over towards the house. "Yeah, we better head in."

Luis opened the door for us before we could even knock. That f-cking weirdo was probably watching us from out the window. I couldn't even look at him. He was a disgusting, sick bastard. How could he not only kill Andy's friends for no good reason but mutilate them as well? He was a freak and that small attraction for him was gone as if it never f-cking existed. I can't believe I danced with that motherf-cker.

When he opened the door, he gave us this weird smile. "What the hell were you two out there talking about?" He stepped aside so we could walk in. I didn't feel comfortable around him at all. He was so f-cking creepy. He gave me the f-cking chills.

"None of your damn business," I told him as I walked in after Camilo. I heard him grumble something under his breath, but I ignored him. The last thing I needed to be doing was arguing with Luis. He would get what he deserved. Andy and her friends would handle that. I needed to focus on my father and getting him thinking clearly.

Dad was in the living room with a couple of other men that I didn't know. They all seemed around Camilo and I's age. I guess they were part of the crew. They sat down on the couch talking amongst themselves as my father stood up to greet Camilo and I. "Ah, my beautiful children!" He hugged Camilo first before giving me a tight one. I hugged back and I admit, I squeezed him extra tight as well. It just might be my last time.

When we pulled away, he gave me a huge grin and tucked strands of my hair behind my ear. "Please, tell me you come with good news." I pressed my lips together and took a couple steps back from him. Camilo was beside me and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder for support. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Here it goes. The final plea for my father to change his mind. I hoped it would bring him to his senses. "Camila, what's wrong?"

"I love you, papi. I really do. I love you and mama so much. The precious times we spent together meant so much to me. It felt so good to get to know you all and the last thing I want is for us to split apart. I thought about your ultimatum, but I love Andy. I truly believe she's the person I'll be spending the rest of my life with. You don't understand how happy she makes me. She's been so considerate and compassionate about this whole thing. She doesn't want to hurt anyone. She just wants us all to get along and so do I. So please, papi, do the right thing. There's enough hours in a day for me to spend time with you and the family and Andy as well. I promise if you got to know her, you'd love her."

In my plea, I decided not to mention that Luis had to die no matter what. I knew if I said that, my father wouldn't agree. Also, Luis was in the room. I couldn't give away Andy's game plan. It was best if he thought he was safe.

"I'm with Camila, papi. I want what's best for us all. Camila won't be happy without Andy in her life. I can vouch that Andy is a good person and she's perfect for Camila. I've seen the way they look at each other. You can't break up true love, especially like this. Please, papi, think this through. What does mama even think about all of this?" Camilo asked the golden question. What was my mother's stance in this situation? She had been MIA and I'm sure she wasn't oblivious to this.

"Your mother is in Colombia. She went back and is house hunting for something perfect for all of us," my father said simply and peacefully. He was f-cking crazy. And so was my mother! I can't believe she was going along with this! It was like they were trying to start some f-cking weird cult within our family. "My mind is made up. It's me or Andy. I have no problem ripping every limb from her body. Personally. I don't need Luis to do it for me."

My father's eyes were dark and even though they put fear into me, Camilo stepped in front of me. "If you kill Andy then you have to kill me too."

I grabbed Camilo's arm and dragged him from in front me. "You have a daughter and a wife. Don't worry about it, Camilo," I told him quietly before turning back to my father. "You claim you love me and that you'd do anything for me, but you sit here and give me f-cked up choices. You're making me choose between a bunch of people I love and that's f-cked up. And for what? Why do you want to kill Andy? Because I can't give you 24 hours out of my day? You're sick and twisted. I can't believe you right now! I can't believe mom either!"

I found myself stepping closer to my father. My fingered pointed at him as tears ran down my cheeks. "It's like this is a f-cking game to you! Luis is like your little monster and mom is your brainwashed puppy, but I won't be in this f-cked up family. You don't f-cking deserve me. If you try to kill Andy, I can guarantee she'll kill you first. I may shed a tear but I sure as hell won't feel bad when she pulls the trigger. You're bringing all of this on yourself."

"You know what, Camila. You just may be right." Two men that were sitting on the couch casually got up and they walked over to Camilo and I.

"Manuel...Jorge, what the f-ck are you two doing," Camilo asked the men as they sauntered over to us.

"Sorry, bro," the one with a tattoo in the middle of his forehead said before grabbing Camilo's arm. The other one grabbed Camilo's other arm. I grabbed my stomach. I felt like I was going to throw up. This wasn't right. My father was about to do something f-cked up. I could see it in his eyes.

"Camilo, you're a traitor. Camila, you just don't know how to talk to your papi. You wouldn't care if I died. I think that's pretty messed up." I felt a breath down my neck and it made me shiver. Soon, a pair of hands grabbed my wrists and put them behind my back and I heard a chuckle in my ear. Luis.

Camilo and I both were trying our best to get out of the grip of our attackers, but it wasn't working. Camilo had two buff ass men keeping him in place while Luis was stronger than I was. Of f-cking course, I also didn't have my gun on me. I didn't think I would need it around my own f-cking father. "Let me go," I yelled at Luis as I tried to push my leg back and kick him.

"Come on, don't fight me now. You're just going to make things harder," he told me as if this whole thing was a joke. F-ck, I had a horrible feeling about this. I wanted Andy so f-cking bad. I should've known better. I always put my trust in people, only for them to f-ck me over.

"I don't like the way you're acting, Camila. I also don't think you're making the right decision. So, I think I'm going to have to teach you a lesson." My father took off his suit jacket and cracked his knuckles. "But first, my baby boy, Camilo, is going to get a hard lesson taught to him."

"Don't touch him," I yelled at my father. Camilo stood there with a straight face. He had stopped struggling and it seemed like at this point, he was just going to accept whatever my father did to him. I was still kicking and screaming and trying to get away from Luis.

My father struck Camilo with a punch to the face first. Camilo grunted but he never stopped looking at my father blankly. I think that made my father madder. He began punching his son with all of his might. He started at his face but when he started giving him body shots, Camilo became weak. The whole time I was screaming for my father to stop. It was my fault. Not Camilo's. My eyes were filled with tears as I watched the men hold Camilo up. He couldn't even stand on his own anymore.

When they finally let him go, he curled up into a ball and it was obvious that he was too weak to do anything, however the men still got on the floor and made sure he didn't try anything. "F-ck you," Camilo yelled at our father. "If you loved me and Camila, you wouldn't do this."

"It's time for your lesson, Camila," my father said, ignoring Camilo altogether. If he beat Camilo like that, I didn't want to figure out what my punishment was. However, I didn't want to appear weak either. Did Camilo cry and yell when he got beat? No. I needed to straighten up and show my father that even though he was f-cked up, I was still strong.

"What are you going to do? Beat me like you did Camilo?"

"I got something else planned for you. I'm honestly so sorry for this but you need to know who's in control around here. Papi loves you but I want you to know that every time you disrespect me from now on, this is what's going to happen." My father stroked my cheek with my own brother's blood on his hand. He was really psychotic. "Luis, teach her our lesson."

Luis began pulling me away from my father. My eyes widened and I began freaking out again. Where the f-ck was Luis taking me? "No! What the f-ck?! Let me go!"

I'm embarrassed. I reread this and found a lot of errors. I think I corrected them but if not...don't judge me. It's 2 AM and you'd be surprised how hard it is listening to music and writing at the same time. I end up getting ahead of myself. But anyways...

Are you guys surprised by Delaney's father's actions?

This story is ending is pretty soon, but it's only the first part of a...dare I say...trilogy. After this, I'm going to take a small break from the series so make sure you guys check out my new story, 'Milk and Honey.' First five chapters are up already. It's one of my favorite works already so it'd mean a lot if you at least check it out, leave some votes and comments. I love comments.

'Milk and Honey' is basically about a woman named, Leilani who has been in a very abusive relationship in the past. It f-cked up her confidence and the way she carries herself. She deals with depression and a sex addiction, which makes her feel like she's worth something. Then we have, Tristan, another woman who is gender-fluid who is cool with any and all pronouns. She's only 24 with a 3 year old son and a five year old daughter and an ex-wife. She also has a sex addiction. So, ya'll already know what that means.

This story is super diverse which I love. Every main character is a person of color except Tristan so it's also an interracial relationship in there, just like this one. It's going to be tackling real life sh-t and I feel like it's really modern and relatable.

And just to pull y'all in more, it's going to have a lot of sex in it. A LOT.

Here's the actual summary for 'Milk and Honey.'

Leilani Jaegar is a veteran at getting her heart broken and often mistreated. With a psycho ex in prison for trying to murder her, love doesn't exist in this girl's book. As for Tristan Cash, she got married at the age of eighteen, divorced at twenty-two and had two children by the age of twenty-four. Love wasn't exactly her forte either.

However, both women cross paths and find themselves sexually compatible. Consistent good sex, mind-opening conversations and similar personalities could possibly make them believe in love again.

Tristan is played by Terra Juana, same person who plays Andy. Yes, I'm using the same person again stfu lmaooooo



Leilani is played by Jasmine Sanders. What a woman. Honestly, truly.





Anyways, check it out. I'm obviously really excited about it. Lmfaooooo. Show me some love.

I'll leave a link to the story in the external link thing...is that still a thing? Wattpad always updating some sh-t. Okay, it is. There should be a link somewhere. Idk.

I never tell y'all to vote, but it's pretty important that you guys do so my books look credible. Like, wattpadders (??) look at the story and they're like, 'hold up this bitch got 10k likes, it gotta be good let me read it' so make sure you click the vote icon (the star???). I mean, it takes a second and leave a comment pls pls pls, i lowkey get mad when ya'll don't and i'm petty about updating on time lmaooo. i'm sorry for this long ass shit and it's 2:40 am this prob don't make sense bye
