SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 44

CHAPTER 44

Three days passed my dad had come around a couple of times. Nothing he said made any sense. My mom was still the same, but the Sages had assured us she is starting to heal. Everybody has taken up residents at the house. Doug delivers food to us three times a day. Dominick makes sure he stirred clear of me. He wanted to leave but Harris spoke with him, and he changed his mind. Harris will never know how grateful I am to him for doing that. Summer hasn’t questioned anything more about Case or Dominick. Case still treats me as he always has and Harris has runes on the house.  So we don’t have to worry about visitors of any kind, and Lisa and Cain patrol nightly.

They were getting ready to go out for the night when Summer tells Case he needs to go with them. He didn't want to go, but Summer convinced him.  It will do him good to get out for a while. I think Summer knew I needed a break, and she was right I did. After taking a shower and getting dressed, I dry my hair, and go to the living room. Standing by the window is Dominick. We are all alone I start to turn around and run back to my bedroom to afraid to face him now that I can. Dominick looks at me then turns back to the window. I jump when he finally speaks in a cold voice.

“Your boyfriend let you out of his sight?”

Here, it goes.  I thought knowing he has every right to be angry with me. "Yeah I guess he did.”

Dominick turned and walks up to me. Staring down at me, he asked, “Was I a game to you?  Was I somebody to play with?  To fuck while Case wasn't around?”
The hurt and anger in his voice makes me take a step back. He takes a step forward not letting me have any space.

“Dominick you have it all wrong. What I felt for you, I mean what I do feel for you is real. I wanted to sleep with you. I wanted it more than I've ever wanted anything. I've wanted you from the first time I saw you.”

“Really is that so? You could have fooled me Case gets here and runs up kissing you. I didn’t see you pushing him away, and his hands are always all over you still you don’t push him away. Here's the best part, though he's in your bed every fucking night, not me and I don’t see you fucking kicking him the hell out either!”

“Dominick I'm sorry I know how it looks. I swear it's not like that. Yes, I'm in a relationship with Case and I have been for the last nine months.  We've never had sex I swear. I know I shouldn't have slept with you, but I couldn’t stop myself. I'm as drawn to you as you are to me. Yes, he's been in my bed but nothing’s happened. I would never disrespect you by doing that here. I see some of the anger leave his face. Staring at me he touches my cheek looking like he had lost his best friend. My heart hurt for all the pain, I am causing him. I know he will never trust me again.

“Lana I’m the one that’s sorry. I have no right being mad at you. I was crazy to think we could ever be together. You’re a Keeper I’m not. The whole thing was a mistake. I should have stopped before things went too far, but I couldn't I wanted you and that next morning when we made love I wanted you more than I did the first time, but still I had no right to do it. You didn’t tell me about Case but, there’s things I haven’t told you either you don’t even know what I am.”

“Dominick it doesn’t matter to me what you are. It’s who you are that’s important, and you’re a good man.  I'm the bad one in all this not you. Don’t try to put the blame on yourself.” Dominick's hand was still touching my face when we heard Case’s voice.

“What the hell’s going on?” Case said stepping up he grabbed Dominick’s arm jerking it away from my face. Dominick hit him before I could stop it. Case was right back on him. I yell for them to stop they were beating each other blood is flying everywhere and things are being broken they cursed each other as they threw punches. I scream for them to stop again telling them I will use my powers on them both. They fall on my parent's coffee table breaking it.  Neither one of them paying any attention to what I had said.  Harris, and Summer come running in the room. “What the hell's going on in here” Harris booms as he pulls Dominick off Case. Case jumps up and runs straight for Dominick.
