The One That Got Away

Part 14

My eyes snapped open, Dominic was hovering over me worry speared across his face.

"What's wrong?"
I yawned, looking to see what time it was.
11:19am.

"Are you okay rabbit?"
He asked stroking my face, I pushed my cheek seeking the warmth of his soft flesh.

"Yes I feel fine? Why do you ask. What's wrong!"
I asked sitting up, I was in one of his white shirts, and boxers.

"You was crying and screaming, I tried calling your name, but you was thrashing around. So I shook you awake!"
He ran a hand through his hair.

I swallowed hard, I didn't want to think about the past, let alone talk about it.

I shook my head, and stepped out of bed.
"Can you order us some coffee."
I changed the subject and stepped inside the bathroom.

I didn't even remember getting into bed, splashing water on my face, I grabbed his toothbrush.

Then it hit me, brushing my teeth with his toothbrush, being in his clothes, asking him to get coffee.

This oddly felt less like an affair, and more like we just picked up where we left off.

I combed my hair, and fixed my ponytail before walking back into the room.

"Your coffee is on the nightstand, you still drink it with lots of cream and sugar?"
He asked, buttoning up his blue shirt.

"Yea!"
I squeaked out, grabbing the white mug, and gulping down almost half the cup.
He still fixed my coffee the same way I remembered.

"Alec called you?"
He mumbled, looping a black belt though his black slacks.

I nodded slowly.

"I went shopping for you this morning, I um noticed you didn't come here in anything."
He smirked handing me a few designer bags, he lend down and kissed me softly.

I kissed him back, he was one of the most beautiful men I have ever laid eyes on, he was my soulmate, I knew he was.
And no matter what, he will always be the man I love.

But now the rain has stopped, and I could clearly see what this was.
An affair.

"Dom...."
I began once I pulled away and placed the mug down.

"Give us today.... Please."
He interrupted walking away to go refill his mug.

"I need to figure this out Dom,"
I placed my head in my hands feeling like the world was crashing down on my shoulders.

"Let me back in Shay,"

"How can I?"
I mumbled into my hands.

"Divorce him rabbit let's runaway, let's pick up where we left off!"

I looked up for that one, he was leaning against the doorframe arms crossed sipping coffee.

How could he be so cool.....?

"I can't do that?"

"Of course you can..."
He slowly stalked toward me fingering one of my favorite pair of diamond studs.

"I remember buying you these, it was the first real present I bought you,"
He sighed out, I smiled at the memory of him giving me the pink velvet box.
I never got rid of them even though I knew I should have.
