SAVE ME

THIRTY-ONE

Madison stumbled her way out of Rook's room and shut the door behind her before she turned around and bumped into a firm chest, her eyes lifting to lock on Dom's.

"Hiya, Dommy." She let out a soft laugh as she reached out to gently poke his nose before slipping her arms around his waist loosely.

He just smiled and pulled her closer to him, his head resting on top of hers. "Baby, you're drunk." He laughed out as she snuggled further into him.

"Yes I am." She mumbled to him in a slurred tone, causing him to bend down and pick her up into his arms to carry her to her room.

She lifted her head to look up at him as he laid her down on the mattress and pulled the covers over her body. "Get some sleep, baby. I love you."

"Are you not staying with me?" Her eyes widened at the mere thought of him leaving again so soon, her lower lip sticking out into a dramatic pout.

He had to bite down onto his lower lip to keep from laughing at her as he kicked his shoes off before climbing into bed next to her. "Of course I am."

"Thank you. I love you too." She mumbled in a sleepy tone, her mood completely shifting once she remembered something. They told each other they loved one another but she was still not his girlfriend.

She didn't understand this. It may be silly and it might seem obvious that they were together but she still wanted to be asked. She wanted it to be clear and official.

"Dommy?" She asked him in a soft tone as she rolled over to face him, her hands slipping underneath her pillow. "What am I to you?"

He gave her a confused look as he tried to understand what she was asking him. "What do you mean, love?"

"You tell me that you love me but you haven't even asked me to be your girlfriend. What am I to you?" She was feeling depressed again even though she tried not to.

She hated how her moods seemed to change against her will. She was trying to work on that.

Dom felt like a complete idiot when she brought that to his attention. He didn't mean to let that slip his mind. He was planning to ask her a while ago, but got so distracted by his work.

He lifted one of his hands and placed it on her cheek before he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. "I'm sorry, baby. Let me make it up to you." She slowly sat up on the bed, him doing the same only a moment later.

He reached out to take her hands in his own before he looked up into her smokey blue eyes that were watering more by the second.

"Maddie, will you please be my girlfriend? I know I don't deserve you but I would most definitely be honored to call you mine."

She felt her heart fill with pure happiness over his words. It was something she had been dying to hear. She never thought she would be with anyone after Dean but she wanted Dom more than she expected to.

"I don't know. I will have to think about it." She spoke playfully, a light laugh slipping from her lips, something she was unable to prevent due to being drunk.

He was fully amused by her actions, his lips forming into a lopsided grin. "Yeah? You're gonna have to think about it?" He reached out and pulled her closer to him before he pressed another soft kiss to her lips.

"How about now?"

"Hmm, I'd say you're getting there."

He couldn't help but laugh when she rolled over onto her back and pulled him along with her, his body now hovering over hers.

He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers once more, getting more into it than he probably should have considering the circumstances.

He grabbed both of her wrists in one hand and pinned them above her head, his other hand moving underneath her blink 182 shirt.

When he caught himself trailing kisses across her neck, his eyes widened and he immediately stopped, guilt washing over him like a tsunami.

"I can't do this when you're drunk. It doesn't feel right to me. I feel like I'm taking advantage of you."

That simple phrase is what made her one hundred percent confident in her choice to be with him. He was everything she wanted in a boyfriend.

He was smart, funny, caring, sweet, and extremely beautiful. Him being beautiful was just the icing on the cake to her, not something that really mattered at all.

"Yes." She mumbled, watching as his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.

"Yes what?"

"Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend."

She saw his lips form into a bright smile when he heard this. She could feel his heart nearly beating out of his chest.

He was the happiest guy in the world. The most amazing girl he had ever met was now officially his.

He was suddenly very thankful that he responded to her text asking for help instead of ignoring it like he was going to.

"I love you so much, Maddie. I really do."

She flashed a fond smile as she slipped her arms around his neck and pressed a gentle kiss to his nose. "I love you so much more."
