4EVER

Are you blushing!?

"BRO MY FUCKING HEAD" Ebony muttered as her doorbell rang. She blinked feeling every bit of pain from her hangover hit her all at once. She got up walking to her front door begrudgingly. She opened her door hesitantly finding Dominic with a small bouquet of white roses making Ebonys face grow with a grin. Ebony grinned as she opened the door wider, letting Dominic step inside. He offered her the bouquet, and she took it carefully, admiring the delicate white roses. "You didn't have to get me these" she says looking up at him. Ebony took a deep breath, inhaling the soft, floral scent of the roses. "They're beautiful," she murmured, her headache temporarily forgotten as she admired the gesture.

"I figured you could use something to brighten your day," Dominic replied, his smile warm but slightly nervous. "Plus, I wanted to see how you were feeling after last night."

Ebony winced slightly at the mention of the night before, the hazy memories of dancing, drinking, and their late-night phone call flooding back. She rubbed her temples. " I was lowkey fucked up!" She laughed a little. "Lowkey?" He questioned playfully making her roll her eyes and flip him off as she put the flowers in a vase with water along with the other ones he had gotten her from before. "You still up to go eat?" He asked as her stomach rumbled. "You okay with waiting while I get ready?" She asked not looking up."Take your time, I'm in no rush," Dominic said with a grin.

"Bet!"

"So does this technically qualify as our second date?" Ebony asked curiously making Dominic shake his head. "Fuck no, I got some stuff planned for that" making Ebony look to him as she took a bite out of her lobster roll. "Do I get to know said stuff?" She questions making him fake pounder for a second before shaking his head. "You're fake" she says pushing him away as she grabs some of his fries. "Eating my fries when you already have some is crazy" he comments snatching his fries away from her making her scoff and snatch them back. They soon got into a mini good fight prompting Dominic to take some of Ebony's fries making her gasp. "Touching my food for what?" She says in annoyance as she tried to snatch the freis back. Dominic laughed, his eyes sparkling. "Because they look better than mine!" He mocked making her face drop with a monotone look. "Next Topic!" She said trying to move on from the food fight they were currently having. "So, the album comes out tomorrow" He said cautiously bringing it up. "So it does" she said looking down at her food. "You excited or...?" Dominic asked putting his attention on her. Ebony felt her stomach twisting in knots. "Honestly? I'm fucking terrified" She muttered. "Terrified?" he echoed, concern flickering in his eyes.

"It's like I put all of me into this album y'know? And now i'm sending it off into a place where people will be highly critical of who I am or could actually connect with me. That's scary" She replied, her voice laced with vulnerability. "Well when you put it like that" Dominic joked after a minute making her roll her eyes and softly nudge him. "But seriously, even though I haven't heard most of the album *COUGH COUGH*" He says throwing slight shade at her making her laugh a little. "You've created something real Ebony. If people don't like it then they don't deserve to see the amazing person you are through what you make." He said sincerely making her frown as her heart doubled internally. "Look at you being all sweet and shit!" She said laughing. "But thank you, love" She said kissing his cheek making a deep crimson spread throughout his face. Ebony gasped noticing. "Are you blushing!" She teased as he immediately shook his head. "Yes you are!" She said laughing making him shake his head once more.

"No, i'm not"

"Yes, you are"

"I'm not"
