Death Of Peace Of Mind || Dominik Mysterio

THE BOY IS MINE

Delaney's POV.

After weeks and weeks of avoiding Dominik, I had finally caved. Tonight, I was returning back to Monday Night Raw for the first time in almost two months. I had yet to tell anyone, even Demi about my return. I didn't want it to be made a big deal, I didn't want the extra attention. I especially didn't want to give Dominik any reason to be waiting for me at the entrance to the venue, or know I was there and follow me around the whole night.

After the night he showed up and kissed the life out of me, he had been rather distant. Not that I care, but the sudden change in appearances was rather eyebrow raising. This man was indeed driving me insane. My anger towards him had been drowned out by the rehashed feelings for him. I was convinced I had actually gone mad, falling for the man who played me and stalked me for months. After that kiss...who showed up two more times, but never tried to come in or grasp my attention. He simply dropped off two more roses and left it at that. I was beginning to wonder if he was finally giving up, just as I'm giving in...

I made my way through the backstage, sunglasses and hoodie up attempting to conceal my identity. I kept my hand down as I dragged my suitcase full of makeup through the narrow hallways, making my way towards the locker rooms. I turned a corner and looked up as I did so. Suddenly a scene came into sight, causing me to stop in my tracks. There stood Dominik, with a tiny little blonde known as Liv Morgan, hanging on his arm like a koala bear. They were surrounding by cameras, as Liv looked up at him in such an adorning way, despite being met with a clearly annoyed Dominik in response.

"and cut! good job guys." The producer shouted. The camera crew began grabbing the cords and breaking away, taking off in the opposite direction. At the end of their scene, Liv broke away from Dominik but didn't create much distance. Dominik's annoyed expression quickly turned into one of amusement. I watched from around the corner as the two conversed, sharing smiles and small laughs together. There was something about their interactions that made something inside me rage. After having Dominik's attention for months, and being the only one to have it, regardless of if I wanted it or not, my subconscious was feeling mildly betrayed.

I watched as Liv reached out grabbing Dominik's hand and giving it a small squeeze before turning on her heel and taking off. Dominik responded to the gesture with a soft, tender smile, before taking off on his own, towards where I was hiding. Liv's gesture had set me off. There was a newfound jealousy burning through me, and I hated every ounce of it. I shouldn't be jealous. I should be grateful his attention is being occupied by someone else. The overwhelming rush of charged emotions caused me to step out of my hiding spot and start walking towards Dominik. He kept walking, looking down at his phone and not paying attention to what, or who was in front of him.

I sucked in a sharp breath and ripped of my sunglasses, tossing them to the floor before picking up my pace, charging towards him with intent. All better judgment had left my mind, I was now filled with a dangerous combination of recklessness, carelessness, jealousy, and worst of all, lust. As I closed in on him, I reached out, tightly gripping his arm and effectively pulling his attention from his phone. Before he could catch a glimpse of my face I turned and used what strength I had to pull him behind come equipment containers off to the side.

"What the-" Dominik sputtered out as I yanked him forward before releasing my grip, slingshotting him so he stood in front of me. In one swift movement I flipped my hood off, my eyes burning into his. Once he finally grounded, he realized who it was before him, and his eyes grew wide. His lips fell open to say something, but before he could I threw myself towards him, shoving him in the chest as hard as I possibly could. He stumbled backwards and looked up at me with confusion, just before I did it again...

and again,

and again,

and again.

Finally, he snapped out of it and grabbed ahold of my wrists tightly as I went to shove him again. My eyes darted to his, my vision slightly blurred by the tears of frustration threatening to pour over. No words were spoken, but a thousand things were said as we stared each other down. My head was screaming, "How dare you do this to me?", "How dare you ruin my life!", "Why am I falling for you!?" "Was this just a game?". Over and over, my blood was boiling and every nerve in my body was working double time.

"Laney.." Dominik finally whispered, his grip loosening just a touch. His eyes continuous darted between mine, and my lips, in a delicious never-ending cycle. Before I could second guess my delusional, confused thoughts, I jumped forward. Our lips connected in a crash; I could've sworn I heard actually sparks flying all around us. He eagerly accepted my abrupt action, desperately wrapping one arm around my waist, and placing his free hand against my jaw, cradling it as he deepened the feverous kiss. My hands gripped his vest tightly as if it were my last lifeline, as if I couldn't breathe and he as CPR personified. We went on like this for what felt like ages, scratching and clawing at each other as if we just couldn't get enough. When we finally broke p apart, we were both left gasping, cheeks flushed, small beads of sweat griping tiny hairs to our foreheads and temples. Dominik stared at me, eyes wild and full of bewilderment.

"You.." he struggled to breathe out. "You're back?" he asked, finally starting to catch his breathe. "And you kissed me?"

Once he spoke it out loud, I had realized the gravity of what I had done. I had opened the 7th layer of hell, pandoras box. I had kissed him, not the other way around. My head was once again spinning and I couldn't tell if it was still from the kiss, or the emotions running through me. I cleared my throat, trying to compose myself.

"Doesn't matter." I coked out through ragged breathes. "You have Liv now, from what I can see. Does she know about what you did to me?" I asked harshly, trying my best to deflect his questioning gaze.

"Liv!? I dont have Liv, we were doing a segment for our storyline." He defended.

"Sure, looked like more than that to me." I snapped. The ugly green monster called jealousy had taken over and was now in control of my every thought. Dominik stared at me is disbelief, shaking his head before letting out a chuckle.

"Oh my god, Laney." He rubbed his temples, snickering to himself. "My gatita, you're jealous?" he quizzed.

My eyes went wide at the accusation. God I was easy to read. "Uhg, no never in a million years."I rolled my eyes. He smirked at the reaction, before stepping closer. For the first time, I stood my ground and didn't move, allowing him to close the space between us. The playful smirk continued to dance on his kiss swollen lips as he reached up, his thumb brushing against my chin as he tilted my head up, forcing me to look into his eyes.

"Princessa," He spoke in a hushed town. "You're jealous." He whispered teasingly, brushing his thumb across my lower lip. "Admit it, you're finally accepting your feelings for me." His actions, and the call out caused me to freeze up. I didn't know how to answer him, hell I couldn't even think of something witty and dismissive.

"You stopped showing up." I whispered, my face and voice softening as my fight began to dwindle down, the walls beginning to shatter as realization and acceptance came to surface. I had infacted, missed him. The sadness of my statment cuased Dominik's face to soften as well. He leaned forward, place a comforting kiss against my forehead.

"I got busy with work." He stated. "I was also beginning to give up hope that you would ever feel the same for me, let alone forgive me for my actions." He whispered against my skin. I quickly leaned back, giving myself space to look at him.

"Dom, I.." I sighed, looking down momentarily before back into his eyes. "Please, do not give up."
