She does.
“Holy fucking shit! He’s the guy you went on a date with, isn’t he?!”
My entire body flushes as I tug Delilah to the sofa with me, shushing her.
“Don’t be so loud!”
She rolls her eyes as she makes herself comfortable before stretching her arms in front of herself.
“There’s nobody in here to hear me.”
Well, she does have a point…
“It doesn’t matter, Delilah. Let’s not mention anything until he does first.”
My sister’s eyes narrow at me as she stares at me.
“What now?”
“Is that why you went to his office earlier on? Because you recognised him from your date?”
I shake my head at her.
“No, you know that’s not why I went to see him. My boss called up because he could do with some extra staff. I went to Callum to ask whether he’d be able to drop me off to work.” There’s a few seconds of silence before I open my mouth once more. “He told me I don’t need to work anymore if I don’t want to. He said he’ll support us both, since he now knows that the only reason I was working there was for the money. I told him I’d think about it, but I don’t know.”
I find myself admitting to her.
Her face scrunches up before she shakes her head slightly.
“What’s up?”
Her cheeks become pink as she rolls her bottom lip into her mouth before she speaks.
“I just can’t believe you met each otherthere.That’s kind of gross, you know, to think that you and my Dad have had sex–”
“Delilah, please, shut up.”
She giggles as she leans into my side and puts her head on my shoulder.
I feel my entire face flush as it becomes hot.
Yeah, telling my sister I met him in my workplace wasn’t the best way to put things, but in my defence, I wouldn’t have ever thought that I’d see him outside of Dom’s Den. I wouldn’t have ever thought that he’d be my sister’s biological father.
And speaking of her biological father…
Nudging her with my shoulder, I turn to look down at her.
“You’re okay with knowing that he’s your Dad? You’re good with us staying here with him?”
She hides her face into my side as she nods.
“I think I’m okay with it, Benji. I like it better here than I’ve ever liked it with Mum. He doesn’t seem too bad, and it would be nice to have a sister. And, he likes you too which makes everything so much better.”
I nod at her as I lean backwards into the sofa.
She’s right about all of that.
Callum doesn’t seem to be too bad, and I’ve known him for a little over a week now. This is probably the most comfortable I’ve seen my sister in a while now, and since we’re basically two towns over, I doubt our mother would make the effort to come and see us.
