Dom and I watch Joe out the window as he trails down my road, and once he is out of sight Dom turns to me,
"Let's go for a walk" Dominic suggests, and I nod in agreement to his idea.
Dom puts his coat on, while I push my feet into the battered trainers sat by my front door,
"Headphone?" Dom offers, handing me a single earbud, while the other is pushed firmly into his ear,
"Thank you" I smile as I take the ear bud and place it into my ear.

"Is Maroon 5 ok?" Dominic asks and I shrug, which Dom takes as a yes.
Sugar starts to play, and to my embarrassment Dom starts to dance around to the beat of the music,
"You know you want to join in" Dom smirks, and I stare at him blankly,
"Or not" Dom's smile wavers before he bursts out laughing, and I join in. We approach the local park just as 'Take me to church' is ending, and I return Dominic's earbud to him,
"Cheers" Dom nods as I hand the ear piece to him, I look around the park and spot a playground,
"DOM LOOK!" I squeal, dragging my best friend into the enclosed area where four year olds are shrieking and playing.

Dom rushes ahead to the swings and takes a seat on one of the available sets, I jog over to him and sit on the swing next to his,
"what was it you were going to tell me at the party last night?" I ask Dom, once a few moments of silence between us had passed,
"It was nothing, don't worry" Dominic speaks quickly as if nervous about something. I look at Dom sternly,
"Promise?" I ask and the boy nods in reply, "I promise"

I know what Dom was going to tell me was important, he seems almost frightened by the upcoming of the subject, but I can't force it out of him, it's his choice wether or not to tell me... I hope he's not in trouble in anyway.

Soon we decide to move on from the playground, so we stroll over to the pond, and watch the ducks swim around chasing the remaining scraps of bread that float on the surface of the water.
Dominic takes off his coat and lays it gently on the grass for us to sit on, I lower myself down onto the floor, and rest my head on Dom's shoulder,
"I wish I was a duck" Dom states casually,
"What??" I laugh,
"It would be awesome, all you do is eat, sleep and make little ducks" Dominic shrugs, I look at him unsure if he's being serious or not,
"I'm sure you've done all that before" I shrug, and Dominic shakes his head,
"Nope, I'm a er- Virgin" Dominic speaks softly, his cheeks heat up from embarrassment,
I stare at my friend with disbelief,
"No way are you a virgin, I refuse to believe that"
Dom looks at me awkwardly,
"Also when I kissed you, that was... MyFirstKiss" Dom speeds up as he gets to the end of his sentence.

About a minute passes of me just staring at Dominic, I was his first kiss!?
I can tell this has made Dom feel really self conscious so I decide not to pull it on,
"Dom, I'm sorry I don't feel that way for y-" I start, but Dom cuts me off,
"NONONO! I don't feel that way either, I'm completely over you I promise. There's this girl in my maths class who's..." Dom speaks before gasping, to show how he thinks this girl is hot.

I almost feel jealous,
But I don't feel for Dominic that way...

Do I?
