PUBLICITY RELATIONSHIP → DOMINIC FIKE

ᶠⁱᶠᵗᵉᵉⁿ

ANASTASIA
Later on that day, my hangover had finally went away. I had taken about a four hour nap before waking up.

Last night with Dominic? Words can't even describe on how he made me feel. I didn't even know I could ever feel that way again.

Dominic is definitely something special to me. Even though it hasn't been that long, I can already tell.

"Look who's finally awake. I was beginning to think you were dead or something."

Tyler chuckled on the couch as I finally made my way downstairs. I seen that he was playing his video game alone.

"Yeah. I had a huge hangover. I'm glad that's done. What are you playing and where is Tristian?"

"I'm playing Call Of Duty, and Tristian went out with a girl he met last night at the party. I didn't really ask no questions. I'm just tryna play my game in peace."

"I can see that."

I plopped myself down on the couch next to Tyler. I noticed that there was a moving truck in the house next to us. Someone must've finally bought the house, it's been vacant for about a year.

That's when someone knocked on the door.

"Ughhh! Can you get that for me, Ty? I just sat down."

"Aight, I got chu."

Tyler paused his game, getting up and opening the front door. A few seconds later, he looked back at me.

"You have a situation over here."

"Ugh. What can it be now? I swear, this better not be Jerald because — Meech?"

I stood in front of the door, completely shocked at who I was laying eyes on. My ex before Jerald; Demetrius. But everyone always calls him Meech for short.

"Hey, baby. You missed me? Cause I sure as hell missed you."

It's been about six years since I've last seen Meech. We never even had a bad break up. The two of us only broke up because he moved out of state with his father after his mother passed away.

Then I just never knew where he went from there, because that's when I started becoming famous and traveling around the world.

Demetrius was my literal everything. I loved him way more than I ever did Jerald. Meech was my best friend before we even got together. The two of us did everything together. And when I mean everything, I mean everything.

You would never see one of us without the other one. We were attached at the hip. It hurt me like hell when Meech left out of state with his dad. We just couldn't do long distance.

"Meech? Out of all people, I never expected to see you ever again. And especially the one moving into the house next to me."

"Yeah, me either, Babygirl. I noticed that car of yours, and I just knew it was you. I prayed to God all this time to bring us back together if it's meant to me. And I'm guessing it's meant to be, cause we got brought back together. I mean, you have a new nigga but I can sure take over his space. Just like old times."

Meech smirked, slowly walking into my house. I just couldn't believe that I was seeing the first love of my life again. Like it was a dream.

"You don't have a girlfriend?"

"Not really. I mean, I fucked around with girls here and there. But never did I ever take them seriously. I was determined on finding you again."

Meech smiled, putting one hand on the part of my face that was swollen, causing me to flinch in pain.

"Ow.."

"Who made your face swollen? Was it that punk ass pop star you fucking with now? You want me to fix the nigga?"

"No, no, no. It wasn't Dominic, I swear. It was the guy I was seeing before Dominic. Dominic would never hurt me."

"Who's this other guy then? You know I always got your back, baby."

Meech lifted up his shirt, flashing his gun at me. I pulled his shirt back down, looking him back in his eyes.

"It's all okay now, I promise. I haven't seen the guy ever since."

"Aight, good. If he touches you ever again, just let me know. I see the twins grew a lot! They done grew like five feet since the last time I seen them."

Meech chuckled, looking over at Tyler. Tyler walked back over to where we were.

"I missed you too, man. You will forever be the boyfriend of Stasia's that I loved the most."

"I know, right. Ain't nobody ever Finna take my place. Where's Tristian at?"

Damn. Even still til this day, Meech is the only one who can still tell the twins apart.

"Out fucking around with some girl that he met at a party last night."

"Ohhh shit! My boys done grown up on me! Out here getting pussy now and everything!"

Meech dapped Tyler up, them both laughing afterwards. I playfully shook my head, looking at the two of them.

"Still the same old Meech, I see."

"You got it. Just older and wiser. I gotta get back to my new crib, but I'll catch up with you later. See you later, Babygirl."

Meech left a kiss on my cheek before walking out of my front door. As soon as Meech opened the door, there was Dominic standing there.

"Oh, hey, Dom.. I didn't know you were coming back so soon."

"This is what you to do sober up? You let other guys kiss on you?"

"Excuse me, man. You might be a pop star, but I'm the nigga who is also known as Anastasia Smith's first love. You can't ever compare to me, buddy."

Jesus, Meech. Why can't you ever just keep your mouth shut?!

"Oh, I see. I was just coming by to drop this soup off. She had a hangover, so I was just making sure she was okay. I'll see you around, Anastasia."

"Dom, wait. Please.."

"I'll talk to you soon, Stasia. I have to get going."
