Your POV

I woke up in a foreign room blue sheets. My eyes adjusted to the light, then I pulled the thin sheet around my shoulders and walked over to the door. It creeped as it opened and got Dominic's attention.

"Morning Y/N, how did you sleep?" At that point the previous night came flooding back to me.
"Are you alright?" He looked concerned, as if he cared.
"Erm.. Yeah, I just feel a little dizzy." He walked over to me and helped me sit.
"I'll get you a glass of water." I sat there shaking, knowing what could have happened last night scared the shit out of me. 30 seconds later, he came back with a half-full glass of water.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Dominic rubbed my arm as I sipped the water.
"Can you" a tear fell down my cheek. "Can you tell me what happened last night?" I looked up to him with my red puffy eyes. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder this time.
"Right, erm." He thought for a minuet. "I was on my way out to meet a group of friends when Nick, my neighbour, brought you home, but" he hesitated again, the bit he was about to tell me is the bit i can't remember all that well. "You looked like you didn't want to be in that situation, so I told Nick that you where a good friend of mine, but then be got angry and pushed you. I pulled him back off you, then I brought you here and you went to sleep. I'm so sorry this happened." His eyes watered. I wiped the tears that fell and hugged him hard.
"Thank you so much" I whispered into his chest, hoping that he would here it. He stroked my hair as I cried into him.
After a minuet, he pulled away, I looked into his light green eyes.
"Your safe now, so no need to cry anymore okay?" I nodded and wiped my tears
"Common, I'll make you some breakfast" me gave me a reassurance smile then was about to go outside the room, when he turned around again.
"Erm.. you can borrow some of my clothes, because your dress ripped last night."
"Thank you Dominic." He closed the door as I walked over to his wardrobe. Eventually, I picked out some black joggers and a grey oasis t-shirt that has the 'what the story morning glory' album cover on. I pushed my hair back into a pony tail and went into the kitchen.
He smiled at my appearance then looked down at his tea.
"Do you like toast?"
"Yeah, toast is great." I sat on one of the chairs under the island counter. He had set up a selection of condiments to choose from. The toast popped from the toaster before long and he put them on two plates, one for each. Dominic came and sat next to me.
"So you like oasis huh, what your favourite song by them?" He asked as he sipped his tea. I pretended to think but I already knew the answer. "Has to be 'slide away', what about you?" I was intrigued.
"Slide away is a really good hit, but live forever man." I disagreed.
We talked for the best part of an hour until my phone buzzed. Sky left me 19 messages asking where I was. I reassured her and told her I was at a friends house and I will fill her in soon. After a while, I realised it was 2:30pm.
"I really want to talk some more but I need to shower." I smiled, hoping that he would understand.
"That's fine, I'll drive you back home. I just need to get dressed first." He jumped up from his sofa and headed to the bedroom.
"It's okay, I'll walk, but I appreciate everything you have done for me!" He turned around eagerly.
"Nope I insist, give me 5 to get dressed then I'll take you." He flashed me a wide grin, then went into his bedroom. I gathered my things and waited for him to come out. After 2 minuets, he opened the door, wearing black ripped jeans and a pink and black stripped top with pink socks.
"You ready to go?" He looked up at me as he leaned on the wall, trying to get his creepers on his foot.
"Yeah, Thank you." I said as he stopped midway tying his laces.
"Stop saying thank you, it's okay!" His smile made butterflies in my stomach.
In the car, 'she's electric' came on the radio, as it did, we looked at each other and burst out laughing. Dominic made it easy to laugh like that around him. We sung it loud until the very last note. His voice was amazing, but I've heard it somewhere. Before long, we arrived at my flat.
"So can I get your number, erm just so I can get my clothes back?" He smiled nervously.
"Erm Yeah, just add it to my phone." I passed it to him so he could add his number, the butterflies returned. I waved him goodbye and went into the flat. I flopped onto the sofa and puffed out my cheeks. After doing the usual 'scroll through social media' I made my way over to the shower. I had my favourite playlist on, which consisted of oasis, MCR and foo fighters. I wrapped a towel around my wet hair and another around my shoulders. The door opened as the steam escaped.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed
"What the hell are you doing here!" Sky shouted at me.
"I got back about half an hour ago, I thought you where at work or something?" I walked into my room with her outside the door.
"No I'm not in today. Aren't you?" I froze.
"Shit, what time is it?"
"Half 11" my heart sank, I was already 30 minuets late.

I decided to franticly get dressed and brush my hair to an acceptable standard and ran to the pub in the city centre.
"Jaime, I'm sorry I'm late I ran into something, I know you said this was my last chance but something really did happen!" His facial expressions told me that he want in a negotiating mood.
"I told you what would happen if your late again, your fired!" My heart dropped as the words left his lips. I swiftly left before he could see my tears, but when I was around the corner, I broke down. I was about to call sky to pick me up when I noticed I have Dominic's contact number open. I decided to text him.
'hey it's Y/N.' After that I called sky and told her about work.
He replied quickly.
'Hiiiii Y/N, do you want to meet sometime to get coffee? What are you doing tomorrow?'
'You want to see me that much? What about the costa in the town centre?' I was smiling down at my phone when I was rudely interrupted.
"Why are you smiling? Is it Dominic?"
"Maybe, maybe not." She giggled and nudged me to tell her more. She drove as I told her everything. She somehow made everything feel okay.
'Yeah, what about 11?' He responded.
'See you at 11 tomorrow :)'
