SUMMER'S RAIN

CHAPTER 62

CHAPTER 62

I wake up and find that at some point Dominick has rolled on his side. He is still holding me. My face is against his chest. There is no part of our bodies not touching. I try to move and Dominick tightens his hold on me.

 “Where do you think you’re going Princess?” He whispers.

“I thought you were asleep."

“I’m enjoying holding you too much to sleep.”

“I’m enjoying you holding me to Dom”, I said using the nickname I used to call him that he acted like he hated so much.

“When I got here this evening and didn't see you, it scared me to death. Then Adam and Rachel told me that you were here but the little people had just taken you away Adam assured me they would bring you back sometime or the other. So I stood against the wall waiting to see you walk through the door. When you finally did walk in I was rendered speechless. You took my breath away. You are always beautiful, you know that. However, the way you're dressed and your hair with all the flowers in it. The glitter making your body and hair sparkle all over, you truly look like an Angel. I wanted to drop to my knees in front of you. Your beauty humbled me that much. Then you run and throw your arms around me hugging me.  I thought I had to be the luckiest man alive.”

I lay there listening to Dominick’s words knowing he never speaks to me this way. This is more of the way Case talks not Dom. I’m not sure what I am supposed to say to him. Here is the most beautiful guy in the world, my Greek God. This giant of a man with black hair, deep chocolate eyes and muscles everywhere is telling me that I humble him with my beauty. How can that even be possible?
“I don’t know what to say Dominick.”

“You don’t have to say anything Princess.” I laid there with Dominick’s words and body comforting me as my eyes shut, and I fall back to sleep.

The next day I changed out of the dress and put my leather clothes back on. Sitting on my cushion I’m taking out all the flowers that had been weaved in my hair when Dominick comes to sit beside me. We talk, while he helps me work the rest of the flowers out of my hair neither one of us spoke about what Dominick said the night before. I’m glad that we lost all that awkwardness we had been dealing with before I left the Keepers World. We finish getting the flowers out. Dominick helps me up and we hold hands as we walk to the food the guards brought in a little while ago.

The front door opens up, and the same three tree people walk in that had dragged me off to the bathroom the day before. I felt my heart drop knowing what was about to take place. This time though they give me, a box that has instructions written on top of it before they spun around and walk back out the door. Reading the instructions I find out, I only have an hour and a half to get ready before the tree people will be back to take me to meet the Prince. The instructions also state that if I choose not to get ready, or if I was late, then my friends will be held responsible for my behavior.

Dominick asked me what was going on, but I didn’t answer him instead I run to the bathroom with the box in my hand. While I am in the shower, I can hear Dominick knocking. He wants to know what is going on. With my shower completed I dry off then wrap my hair in the towel. I wrap another towel around my body brush my teeth and am putting on makeup when I hear the lock on the bathroom door being picked. I know it’s Dominick, so I continue with my makeup. I am adding my lipstick when the door opens, and Dominick walks in closing the door behind him.

“You going to tell me what the Hell is going on?” He demands. Looking at Dominick through the mirror I decide to tell him what the Prince wants and see if he can tell me what I need to do. “I’m getting ready to go meet the Prince.”
