...
JANE

the hotel room i had gotten from both amber and dominic was actually pretty big. crap maybe even bigger than my entire room in my apartment back in new york.

the walls were crème colored as beautiful plants were placed around the hotel suite and a nice view of the beach was visible from where i was standing in the hotel. this was astonishing and utterly beautiful.

taking my shoes off and rolling my sleeves up from my long sleeve shirt i was suddenly startled by my hotel room door being banged on rather harshly.
as i walk up towards the door i take off the locks before opening up to find dominic standing there in sweats and a white shirt.

his hair was wet from what seemed like the shower as he looked down at me. "what is it?" i question as he is quiet for a few before pushing past me and inside to make me open my mouth and shut the door to look at him.

"don't you know english" his head snaps at me before groaning. "what happened a few minutes ago." he asks making me look at him confused before realizing he meant me crying before we had gotten here. now placing a hand over my forehead i sigh.

as i shut my eyes for a moment to open them back up and look at dominic i drop my hand down towards my hip. "nothing. now can you leave it's late, i'm tired and your wife would find it weird that you're in my room alone." at the mention of amber he sarcastically laughs catching me off guard.

"god when will you stop mentioning her every-time i try talking to you." he slightly snaps at me making me curl my fingers up at my shirt not wanting to cause a scene with him right now.

"maybe because she's your fucking wife—" "and you're my-" he stops for a moment making me move my head towards him. "your what? because from what i know of i'm nothing to you dominic."

forget causing a scene. if he wanted to cause one then i'll go ahead and finish one.

"jane why were you crying." he says again as if i didn't hear him the first time. my hand collided with the door knob before opening it back up. "i think you should go mr. russo"

my eyes didn't dare meeting his own as i knew he was probably raging right now at the fact that i wouldn't speak to him like he probably wanted me to. before i had the chance to say it again and repeat myself the door shuts making my hand slip off the knob and my body pushed up on the door.

looking up i'm met with dominic a few inches away from me as his arm was near the side of my head.
his nostrils flared angrily as he looks back down with a sudden sigh.

"jane..." i interrupt. "dominic please-" i finally crack not wanting him to realize i was vulnerable right now. his eyes locked with mines as i feel his fingers reach slowly towards my hair to tuck the rest behind my ear.

just like how he did to amber not less than 24 hours ago. i gulp nervously watching his every move as tears were slowly threatening to fall down my eyes.

"why were you crying jane?" he repeats yet again but this time with a softer tone on me. not wanting him to scare me away even more. for some reason fighting the urge to not tell him was slowly failing as i bit the inside of my cheek momentarily.

"i just dreamt about something that happened a few years back..." my voice came out as a whisper as i didn't even take into consideration if he could've hear me or not.

"me?" he asks again but with the same tone of voice as i had used before i nod gently. "jane..." he calls my name out as i look to the side not wanting to hear my name past his lips once more tonight.

i needed to rest.

i needed to wash myself away from his touch and go to bed to try and forget this had ever happened tonight. "please just leave dominic. please."

the room went silent before i feel weight being lifted off of me and the door pushing open making my body move away and look at it. the sight of him soon walking out that door and shutting it close made my heart shatter as i look out the window again.

this time not daring to break into tears for him i simply walk into the bathroom with my toiletries, clothes and a fresh clean towel, as i was ready for this night to go away.

feeling the warm water touch my face and roll down my body i wash myself taking in the silence from around me before feeling my hands wipe my face uncomfortably.

i feel myself now staring at the marble tiles of the shower soon zoning out as the water kept running down my body and wetting the front parts of my hair. i picked on my cuticles nervously still staring at the tiles wondering where my mind is going.

where i am going.

where everything is going.

as the water began to get cold as time passed, i shut it off soon wrapping myself in it like a burrito before walking out and getting changed for the night.

tiredly slipping away into the white covers i tuck myself in deeper into the bed before shutting my eyes with the last thought to appear in my mind.

him.

"we'll be back around 1 so you guys can just walk around the area if you'd like." i nod taking chloe's hand as amber kisses her goodbye. not daring to meet dominic's eyes he looks at me up and down at my simple dress attire before walking out with amber, both holding hands.

"ready to have fun kiddo?" chloe grins making me follow her act before going out and onto the streets of spain wanting this day to take my mind off of things... and people.
