"What happened?" Noah asks looking between me and Delilah. 

I look over at Delilah giving her a sympathetic look before. "Does he know anything?" She whispers to me and I shake my head. 

She looks at Noah, "I am divorcing Matt." His shoulders seem to relax slightly, "Really?"

Delilah nods, "Yeah Bailey is going to come with me when I tell him."

Noah's body stiffens, "No she isn't." I glare at him, "Who said I'm not?"

He gives me a challenging look, "Me I said it. I don't trust him Bails, I don't want you going there alone. What if something happens to you?" He looks almost scared so I drop my defensive tone. 

"Nothings going to happen to me ok? Delilah is just going to talk to him and I will be there for support."

He looks as if he's thinking things over in his head. "Ok."

I release a breath but Noah isn't done, "Only if I can drive you guys there."

Quickly I shake my head, "Nope."

"yep." He challenges me.

"No." I grit my teeth.

"Yes, you can go if I drive you."

I groan, "I think that's good idea." Delilah says from beside me. 

Great she's on his team. 

"Please Bails, I'll wait in the car." He gives me the puppy dog look. 

Delilah shifts next to me, "I think it would be a good idea, just in case you know he does get mad." She says looking at me intently.

Sighing I cave, "Fine but only because Delilah wants you to be there." He grins taking my hand and pulling me so I am standing. 

Planting a wet kiss to my cheek he whispers into my ear, "I love when you argue with me." And he wasn't kidding I can feel his boner against my thigh. 

I smack his arm, "This is not the time Noah." I mutter looking over to Delilah.

She is already standing her phone in her hand, "He texted asking where I was, he's at the house." I nod and look over to Noah giving him a soft smile. 

I know why he wants to be there. He has decided to go all caveman, mama bear when it comes to me. Honestly it's kind of sweet. 

We pile into Noah's car. Delilah sits in the back and I sit in the passenger seat. Noah reaches over intertwining our fingers, laying our hands in my lap. 

"You know I always knew the two of you would finally stop dancing around all that sexual tension and get together." Delilah says from the backseat. 

I turn and look at her eyes widening as I hear Noah choke on a laugh. 

Delilah feigns innocent, "What Bailey it's true don't deny it. You've wanted him to dick you down since you learned what that meant." My cheeks flame in embarrassment. She so did not just say that. 

Leaning back with my other hand I pinch her arm making her wince, "Bitch." I say and she laughs. It's honestly good to hear her laugh though. 

"Aww Bails I'm touched, if it's worth anything the feeling was mutual." Noah says reminding me he heard what Delilah just said. 

I turn back to the front, "Shut up." I grumble turning the music up. 

A few minutes later we arrive in front of Matts house. The fun light energy that filled the car moments ago has been replaced with silence and tension.

Turning I give her knee a reassuring squeeze, "I'll be with you the whole time ok?" I remind her and she nods taking a deep breath. 

"I'm ready." She says getting out of the car. I go to follow but Noah wraps his hand around my wrist stopping me.

I look over at him and he grips my chin kissing me. Not a sloppy kiss, or a hungry kiss, just a simple I am here for you kiss. 

I think my heart is going to explode. 

"I'll be here in the car if you need me." He says and I nod, "Thank you." I say giving him one last peck before stepping out of the car. 

Delilah and I walk side by side as we make our way to his front door. I don't know what will happen when he sees me better yet when I see him. I now know I can throw a wicked punch, and I am tempted to do it again. 

She knocks on the door and he answers. The moment he see's me his whole demeanor changes. His jaw locks, his shoulders tense and he sneers. 

"What the fuck are you doing here?" He asks looking behind me. Probably for a car or something, maybe Noah. 

That's why I had him park down the street, I figured Matt would be even more hostile if he saw Noah here.

I just shrug feigning boredom, "To support my best friend." I say with a snarky grin. 

His glare shifts to Delilah, "I thought you dropped this bitch." Delilah visibly clams up. 

I roll my eyes, "What are you her keeper? She can be friends with whoever she chooses to." He laughs dryly grabbing Delilahs arm but she rips it out of his grip. 

"No." She says and his eyebrows furrow, "No?"

She nods, " I am done Mathew. I want a divorce." He laughs again and I want to punch him in the face. 

"Why would I give you that?" I glare at him, "Because it's the least you could do after the crap you put her through."

Now his attention is on me, "You don't know anything." 

"I know you're a fucking delusional. Now give her what she wants."

"What are you going to do?" He taunts. 

I do what I wanted to do the moment Delilah told me he was too rough with her months ago. 

I punch him square in the face, his scrawny ass tumbles back slightly. 

Haha that was fun. 

Once he gains his composer it's clear all he's seeing is red. 

He goes to charge at me but someone black his path holding his shoulders back. 

"Think again asshole." Noah says his grip on Matt increasing. 

This is a horrible time to think this but, he's so hot right now. Like the way his muscles are flexing, I need to focus. 

Focus. 

Matt slacks slightly and Noah releases his hold on him. 

"Now agree to what Delilah wants." Matt looks between the three of us. Maybe he's realizing he lost. Pathetic little bitch, I have never hated anymore but I think I hate him. 

He sighs, "Fine." He grumbles out slamming his door in our faces. 

"Well that went well." I say looking at Delilah. 

She nods looking exhausted, "Can I stay at your place tonight?" I nod and she heads back to the car. 

Noah and I begin to head back to walking side by side. 

"That was a killer swing Bails." He says dropping an arm over me. I laugh, "It felt good to do it not gonna lie." He nods, "It looked like it."

We get to the car and drive back in silence. 

The first thing Delilah does when we get back is head straight for my room so Noah and I decide to eat a quick dinner. 

"What did Mrs. Cundiff want to talk to you about?" He asks me mid bite. 

Fuck I forgot about that. 

I chew and swallow before meeting his eyes, "About my possibility of becoming valediction." I say it's a half truth. 

He seems to buy it, "You deserve it Bails." He says planting a kiss to my lips before heading up stairs. 

I stand there wondering what the heck I am going to do.
