Thin lines between love and hate

Chapter 31

Dominique's POV:
I arrived to the park and placed myself against a tree, I let out a sigh "what are we going to do" I mumbled to self when I noticed a human figure standing next to the tree from the corner of my eye. I looked up and it was Ray "oh...hi" I replied to him "hey, did I startle you" he replied back "a little, but it's ok" I said back to him. He took a seat next to me "listen, I just wanted to come over and apologize for everything that has happened, a lot of things were said and we were both hurt and I know that sometimes being in a relationship with me can be hard but baby I am trying. I don't want us to keep fighting like this" he replied to me " I accept your apology and I'm sorry too, I know that I also know that it's difficult to be in a relationship with me too considering that I've been putting you through hell lately in these last couple of weeks and I don't want to keep fighting either baby. I'm sorry" I replied back resting my head on his shoulder "apology accepted" he said kissing my forehead "I know we're going to have our ups and downs, but I promise we'll do it together and I'll always have your back no matter what" he replied. I smiled "
And I'll always have yours "I replied back raising head and giving him a kiss.

The next day:
Ray's POV:
I know that Dominique and I decided to work out our issues but I have a strong feeling that she's holding back on something. Her vibe is all off and it's not like her. I hope she's still not dwelling on the things that happened between us, either that or she did something she doesn't want me to know about. I just hope it isn't what I think it is.

"Hey baby" I said giving Dominique a hug. She seemed zoned out "um, is everything ok" I asked "yeah everything's fine, I just have a lot on my mind right now" she replied. I know for a fact that something happened, but what I don't understand is why she's refusing to tell me "oh ok" I said back to her "I'm going to go ok, I'll call you later" she said and walked off.

Dominique's POV:
I decided to visit my mother. I rely needed to get things off my chest and she is a great person to talk to in time of distress. I haven't been completely honest with myself and Ray for that matter, what I did was way out of line and I don't know what to do really. I took a deep breath, I went to front door and I ringed the door bell. I really needed the strength to tell her what I did. "Coming" I heard my mother yell from the other side of the door, she answered and have a big smile "hey sweetie, how are you" she said giving me hug "I'm good,but I've been better I said entering the house "listen mom, I came here to talk. Something is really bothering me" I said taking a seat and she shut the door and sat next to me "ok sweetie, what is it" she asked in her concerned voice. My mother has never been a judgmental person and me and my sisters could go to her about anything. "Ok so remember how I told you that Ray and I were having arguments constantly over these past few weeks" I told her "yes" she said "well, it got to the point where we argued so much, I ended up kissing one of friends" I told my mother and immediately broke down crying "oh sweetie, what were you thinking" she asked "I don't know, and I'm so afraid to tell him" I said "well sweetie you either tell him now or he finds out for himself" she told me and I cried even harder. She pulled me into a hug "you'll be alright" she said "what if I'm not mom, I betrayed his trust. There's no way he'll forgive me for this" I said "baby you got to understand that being in a relationship is tough, your going to have your ups and downs. When your in a relationship, your going to make mistakes. Listen I know it's hard, but you'll get through baby" she replied back "thank you momma" I said giving her a hug "your welcome" she said "I'm going to go be you some time by yourself ok" she said "alright" I replied as she headed to her bedroom. She was right, I needed to tell Ray before he finds out himself. I pulled out my phone and dialed his number.

Phone convo over

This is going to be so hard...

I arrived to Ray's dorm and was hella nervous, my palms were sweating and my legs were shaking uncontrollably "hey, come in" he said as I entered the room placing my self on the couch "so what is it that you want to talk about" he asked taking a seat next to me. I took a deep breath "over the the past few weeks, I haven't been completely honest with you and with all the arguing we've been doing, I couldn't find the right time to tell you. I did something that I never thought I would do until I did it and I strongly regret" I paused and took another deep breath "Dominique what did you do" Ray asked with concern. I felt tears run down my cheeks "I cheated on you" I replied back to him; he stood up.

You did what...
