I Think I Could Love You Forever

Chapter 10: Lavender Haze

We went to the car, Anna laughing. ""Is this your daughter?" Ew! How old does he think I am?" She hung her head, laughing some more. Then Dima called me. "Hey babe, we're on our way home," I said after answering, looking at the rearview mirror. "Alright. Where were you?" I laughed, Anna making a shush gesture. "We went out to eat breakfast, then went to the mall. Are you done fighting with your parents and sister?" I heard him laugh on the other line, Anna looking nervous. "Yeah, but not really, they're giving me the silent treatment. When you get home say bye to Anna. By the way, are you on car speaker or no?"

"Car speaker," I smiled, turning onto our street. I hung up, Nikita and I going to say our goodbyes. "It was nice meeting all of you," I said, hugging Elena. She gave me a fake smile, grabbing Anna by the wrist. I sighed, waving as they left. We went inside, Dima looking out the window. "That didn't go as planned, did it?" I frowned, putting a hand on his shoulder. "What happened after we left?" I asked quietly. "We got into some old things, it was quite violent..." I kissed his cheek, a smile painting his face. "Hey, what do you want for lunch?"

Later

"Hey, what did y'all do at the mall?" Dima asked, curious by the new toy Nikita had. "We just walked around and looked at things. Anna got a shirt from Hot Topic,"

"Oh, that Rita Dakota shirt? She's been eyeing it for a year. Did she have the money?"

"No, I bought it for her." He seemed surprise. "That's nice of you, but Hot Topic is fucking expensive-"

"Dima, it doesn't matter. She's happy," I said with a smile, Dima calming down. "The guy at the cash register asked if she was my daughter..." He looked up, offended. "Imma go kick his ass. How old does he think you are?" He got up to grab his coat, Nikita laughing. "Dima, it's fine. Please don't hurt an innocent guy," I laughed as he sat back down. "Alright, Nik, it's time for bed. I'll be up to tuck you in in a minute." Nikita ran up to his room, Dima pulling me closer to him. "What are you doing?" I asked him. Instead of giving me an answer, he kissed my neck, most likely hinting at something. "No, we're not doing that tonight..."

"And why not?"

I laughed, kissing his cheek. "Because we did that last night and got in trouble for it."

"Why can't we do it again?"

"Because we only do that once a week. Now please stop asking," I got up to tuck in Nikita, Dima biting his bottom lip as he watched me walk away. "You're a sex freak," I told him before going up the stairs. "You're probably right." I stopped to look and laugh at him, a playful smile on his face. "I'll be back in a minute," I told him as I went upstairs. When I came back Dima was still sitting on the couch, but he had his head thrown back and his eyes closed, and some weird smile on his face. "Babe? What are you doing?" He opened his eyes, turning his head to look at me. "N-nothing..." I raised an eyebrow at this, walking around the couch to see what he was actually doing. "Dima, what the fuck?" He was touching himself.

"You said no!"

"So that automatically means you get to fuck yourself on the couch?"

"Yes!"

We got into a heated argument, which led to hate sex. "Did you get what you wanted?" I asked him, trying to catch my breath. "Yes." I hit him with one of the pillows, then laying down. "You're sneaky," I told him as he hugged me from behind, making him laugh. "I know how to get what I want..." I raised an eyebrow at this. "And what do you use this talent for?" I turned around to face him after asking. He just gave me the same charming smile.

"Hmm, I usually use it when I'm working, but sometimes I use it to have sex with you..."

"Have you used it for anything else in our relationship?"

"Well, just when planning the wedding. I got you to choose lilies over daisies, but that's about it," He shrugged. "What's up? Did someone say something?" I frowned. "Yes, actually. Anna said you were a lunatic.." I sat up, my back towards him. "What?" He sat up next to me, confused. "I asked her why your family was being so crazy and she said that's how they are, then asked how I've been with you so long. I asked her what she meant and she said that you were a lunatic who.. explodes things for almost no reason.. it kinda scared me," I said, looking at him, then hanging my head. "When you said you know how to get what you want.. that also freaked me out. What if you're making a fake version out of yourself?" Dima hugged me before speaking, some odd look on his face. "Please don't listen to my little sister, there's nothing fake going on here. I'm actually in the lavender haze. I just need to know that you are too..." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "I've been there for a while..." We laughed a bit.

"Good. Please don't listen to my little sister. She doesn't know what happened and my parents are overdramatic."

"Did something actually happen?"

He sighed as I wiped my tears. "When I was 19 I fell in love with someone for the first time. We were together for almost a year, then I found out she had like 5 whores texting her and sending dirty pics. So, I did like any crazy teenager would, and keyed her car, gathered all her clothes, put them in her car, then set the car on fire." He just shrugged, seeing how my face went emotionless.
