DOMINIC "So you really haven't texted me back at all since we got back from Puerto Rico. What's that about? I mean, I get you're just meeting your kid and getting to know him, but at least have the decency to let me know that you're okay. Especially with all the media headlines going on."
I said as Anastasia walked into the rehearsal room. I haven't heard from her since we got back in from our trip to Puerto Rico. I got worried about her because I know how she can get with all the overwhelming shit that comes with news stories.
"I understand you're concerned, Dom. But I promise, I'm fine. I've just been spending the last two days with Amir. With all the blog stories, Maria and the rest of my team is thinking of a way I can respond to the public."
"Are you sure you're good? It's just, I know how you can get.. you don't do well when it comes to anxiety and shit."
"Dom, please. I promise I'm fine. Okay? Trust me."
Anastasia smiled and pulled my face into hers, giving me a deep kiss, which made me smile like an idiot.
"Okay, I'll trust you."
"Also, I have some news about our tour."
"Which is..?"
"I told Demetrius that I wanted to have Amir with me for the summer until he goes into his new school year. But he wouldn't let me unless he came along. Soooo, I had to talk to Maria and my team and they're letting them come along for the summer."
Oh great. Not only am I anxious about being introduced to Amir, but I also have to deal with his father as well. Fuck.
"Are you sure that Demetrius isn't going to try to beat me up? It wasn't too pretty the last time that we seen each other."
"I already warned him not to act an ass, especially when you're around. He promised me he wouldn't since Amir will be there."
Anastasia wrapped her around around my waist from the front, resting her head on my chest. I smiled and left a kiss on her head.
"Good. What are you doing tonight?"
"Nothing much. Yesterday, Tyler and Tristian met Amir and they absolutely loved him."
"Oh, wow. That's great, I'm happy for you. But I was asking because I thought maybe you could come over to my house? My mom's cooking a nice dinner and she thought it would be cool to have you over.. AND my little sister is a huge fan of yours."
I chuckled at the last part of the sentence. It was very true. Apple was indeed a huge fan of Anastasia's. Anastasia chuckled and nodded.
Not only did my mom think it was a good idea to have Anastasia over, I also have a nice surprise waiting for her.
"Sure, I'll come over. What time do you want me over there?"
"Around seven thirty, is a nice time."
"Okay, great. I'll just let Demetrius know that I won't be coming back until later on tonight."
Ugh. This is gonna be harder than I thought. Having to deal with Demetrius most of the time.
"Okay, cool. I can't wait to have you over."
I could tell that Anastasia was slightly bothered about something. Maybe it was all of the news stories going around about her having a son. All of her haters AND fans having their own opinion on it.
I hate the fact that I couldn't shield her from all of the negativity. She didn't deserve it at all, even if she did make such a huge mistake. We live and we learn.
"I can't wait to come over. Shouldn't we be rehearsing right now? I think you're way too into me right now."
Anastasia cooed, teasing me and playfully pushing me away from her. I chuckled and playfully rolled my eyes.
"Is that such a bad thing now? Being too into my girlfriend, whatever that means."
"It's not bad at all. You're just getting me nervous, and getting me distracted from actually getting rehearsals done."
"Alright, break it up, you two. We actually have to get things done today. Let's get into it."
Speed came walking up to me and Anastasia, interrupting what we had going on. Anastasia blew me a kiss before walking off to Maria and the rest of her crew. I gave a glare to Speed as he shrugged.
