Sunburn 🌞 Dominic Fike

3.

I woke up uncomfortable in my sheets and sighed as I awoke. The thoughts of last night rushed into my head, could I really trust dom? Hell why did that matter, he was the closest thing I had to a friend and I had the best night I think i've ever had last night because of him. As I came to my senses and acknowledged my surroundings I looked to my left towards my bedside table. There was a sticky note that said "252 sky street :) - dom" and I smiled. I quickly got out of bed and looked in the mirror, I needed to fix myself. Something inside me made me want to look my best if I was going to visit dominic's place later. I took a shower and picked out an outfit. A pink lacey mesh corset and some black corduroy baggy pants, I did my hair in a sleek bun. I was much more excited for the prospect of summer this morning than yesterday. I crossed the cobblestone street to matt's record store for breakfast.

The bell rang on the door as I walked in.

"good morning matttt" i said excitedly ignoring the others shopping.

"alright who are you trying to impress" he said smiling

"huh" i said confused

"eileen you never look this put together at this time of the morning " he replied

"yes i do" i say internally submitting to defeat

"right, there was that one time you got ready for a date with ryan (my ex) and ended up here crying the mascara off"

"hey can we not mention my ex, especially at this time of the morning" I said as I took a bite of the cereal matt placed in front of me.

"Buttt i'll have you know, I met someone"

"mhmm" matt said reluctantly "new boyfriend"

"No, new best friend" I replied

"ok tell me everything" matt said as he put down the fork in his hand and leaned on his elbows, clearly invested in the new boy.

"yesterday I was at the drugstore and when I got to my pizza there was already someone there-"

"that really good one with the mozzarella"

"yes that's the one, anyways we hung out at my place and I took him to the bradlys pool, thats about it" I summed up, leaving out the minor parts of how when I looked in his eyes or held his hand butterflies consumed me.

"you took him to the bradlys" Matt asked astounded

"yes.."

"Youve never taken anyone there, and i more then anyone would know how special your nights at that pool are. Ever since youve been a kid youve riskily escaped there. You brought him to your escape" Matt watched me carfully.

"Yes, I guess so, I dont know with Pheobe moving out and everything I just need something special this summer more then ever."

"who is this boy anyways, you know I dont condone you hanging out with just anyone" matt said as his dad side shone through.

"I dont really know" I thought aloud

"What do you mean you dont know" matt asked annoyed

"well his name is dominic but beside that we sorta skipped the small talk thing last night so im not sure" I described

"Anyways, I have places to be Matt. Places to be! So see yah?" I srugged not waiting for a response as I hurried quickly to the door and pulled out the sticky note with the adress. I heard matt yell goodbye as the cool breeze faced me.

Today was cool, probably 60 degrees if I bothered to check the weather. And I was definitely going to be cold in my top, but what I was secretly thinking was of the jacket I might score if I shiver loud enough for Dom to notice. I didnt know what I was feeling, this feeling was diffrent, but I was feeling oddly spontenous and was allowing the strange boy to enthrall me. People walked along the city street and I did the same looking for the apartment. I found it and followed the steps to the door. I knocked, and when there was no answer I knocked again, and when there was no answer for the second time I tried the door handle. Strangly it was open, and who was I to not go in. (😈) I stepped into the quite appartment. There was a small basic kitchen and a couch surrounded by plants in front of a window. There was a discoball handing from the ceiling, and there was a gutair laying on the couch. I continued to walk through the sunlit appartment, there was only one door so it had to be the bedroom.
