Apology II

/'Delilah-/
I glare at him while scribbling anything I can think of. I hate the bitch.
Apology speech huh? Well she's gonna get one. I stamp a fullstop and hand it over to Dean.
"All done".
He reads through it and frowns.
"This stuff is full of weird shit. Are you try'na get back at me?".
I chuckle, "If I was, I wouldn't take the sheet from you".
"Are you sure? These words are kinda funny" he says skeptically.
"How would you know? You've never apologised your whole life?" I snicker.
"Right. I'll give it a shot. If i can't I'll let her read the essay herself" he says stepping outta the car.
"It's not an essay, Dean" I state climbing out as well.
"Whatever."
I trail behind him watching him try to memorize some part of the speech. I roll my eyes.
I've never seen him put so much effort for a lady. I get it, the kid's different.
We meet her fuming and stomping her foot. This is surely gonna need more than an apology speech.
Before he can say a word, she hits him.
"How dare you lock me in all day huh? Even my parents don't starve me for even a second but today, you starved me the whole day. Who the hell do you think you are?" She yells but that not what bothers me.
It's the monstrous look on Dean's face. I guess our little princess is about to realize that no one hits Dean.
He picks a flower vase and throws it at her. Renzo pulls her away and the vase smashes against one of the mirrors.
"No one hits me. Not even my ma" He growls and kicks the stool in front of him.
I smile inwardly at the horror on her face. Welcome to our world Barbie.
"Dean calm down. Please" Renzo pleads.
I hope he knows he's wasting his time.
"I try my fuckin best to make her happy. I do every fuckin thing she wants. Just look at this, a fuckin apology speech" Dean yells shredding it.
My eyes widen.
"What the fuck man, that was my hard work" I groan and he turns to me.
"But don't worry, i'm over it" I say quickly and he focuses once more on Riley.
He advances dangerously towards her and she runs behind Renzo.
"Come on, man. she's just a kid. Calm your nerves".
"She throws every fuckin thing I try to do in my face. Maybe you should just take her home. I'm tired of trying to please her" he yells and walks upstairs.
"Who cares about his stupid apology? I don't wanna see his face as well" she yells and takes the other stairs.
"How long have they been like this?" Rnzo asks. I shrug.
"Dunno. Since they met?".
"Was Dean really gonna apologise?" He asks.
"Yeah. Three hundred and fifty words of apology in shreds."
"You wrote an essay?" He chuckles.
"Fuck me" I mutter and he laughs.
"I can't believe he was really gonna apologise. I remember that shit happened like...never."
"So what'd we do about them?" He asks like i fuckin care if they fight.
"Nothing".
/-Riley-/
Am I being too hard on him?
No, I don't think so. Maybe I went a little overboard with the slap but i was hungry. And angry.
Instead of wasting my time here, i should probably get myself something to eat.
I make to walk down stairs but my mind trails to Dean. Why is the jerk always in my head?.
I walk down to his room but before I can open, I hear sounds from the room next door.
It's slightly open so I peep inside. There's Dean pouring his anger on the punch bag. He keeps cussing and hitting until it rips.
He kicks it in anger and settles on the floor ruffling his hair.
"You punch real' good" i say.
He doesn't even glance at me and somehow it hurts. I want to look in those dark eyes that make me restless.
"Go away. I don't wanna talk to you" He says.
I sit beside him. It's my fault. I get him angry all the time. Maybe i should shove Tess' advice away for a while.
"Fine. Don't talk to me" I say and stare at the punch bag.
"I didn't mean to hit you back there. I was just....dunno. Angry?" I say quietly.
He still doesnt look at me. Maybe i should give him space. I stand and walk towards the door.
"What'd i do for you to hate me a little less?" He asks and I freeze.
By the time I recover, I feel his breath on my neck. My body stiffens. Why do I react so much to his closeness?
He turns me to face him.
"Tell me what to do, Barbie".
Don't do it. Don't do it. But I find myself playing with my hair like i usually do when I'm nervous.
"Move a little. It's hard to think with you so close" i say and feel stupid immediately. He steps closer instead.
"Maybe cause you don't have to think. Just say it".
My tongue gets tied at that moment. Now it's not just hard to think but hard to breathe as well. I wonder if he can hear my heart pounding.
I try to look everywhere but him. He lifts me face and I'm forced to stare at those eyes.
"I'm sorry" he says suddenly and my head starts spinning.
"For stealing your innocence and buying my way into your life. Forgive me" He says and i can't even blink.
What are you doing to me? Why is it so hard to hate you? At this point, it's like a rush of fresh air down my spine. My system relaxs and everything feels calm and different inside me. It's like i was waiting for him to say the words.
"I'm sorry wifey" He repeats.
A smile tugs on my lips.
"You're cuter when you apologise. I just took note of that".
"That's it?" He frowns.
"Is there something else?" I smirk.
"As a matter, of fact there is" he says huskily and my breath hitches. He leans closer and i swallow.
"W..what..a..are.. you doing?" I stutter. He smirks.
"Are you scared of me?" He asks and I scoff.
"You wish!".
"We'll see about that, won't we?" He smirks.
I look away from him feeling nervous. Just as my hand reaches for my hair, he grabs it and slams it against my lips. My throat goes dry.
He leans closer and his lips press softly on my palm.
My eyes bulge in shock and he pulls away with a smile.
He slowly takes down my hand and leans again until our lips are few inches apart. My eyes instinctively close and i feel his breath. Instead of a kiss, i feel a little bite on my nose.
I open my eyes to meet him smiling.
He tucks my hair and i look down shyly. He leans again but not towards my face but my ear.
"Can i tell you one of my secrets?" He whispers nibbling on my earlobe. I can only nod cause I don't trust myself to speak.
"You're the most beautiful person in my life".
