Dominic's Rose

Fourteen

SIX MONTHS LATER

"Dom! Hurry up its starting!"

I poured the hot bag of popcorn into a bowl and rushed into the living room where Rose was, getting the movie together.

I plopped down on the couch next to my lady and together we watched Straight Outta Compton.

I quit my job at footlocker and now I'm on the road to become a big time music producer. I have my own studio and only talented people are allowed to step into my booth.

Rose quit working at Circle K , a month later she got into planning weddings and other big events. She still works at Chipotle too.

We cuddled together enjoying the movie. I have a strong feeling for this girl. She's truly something special. I've never been happier than I am now.

The movie was over and we started picking up all the extra popcorn that somehow missed our mouths.

Is it weird that we still haven't had sex yet?

"That's my favorite movie now." Rose said, carrying a handful of popcorn to the kitchen trash can.

"Yeah it was dope."

Someone rang my doorbell. "I got it!" Rose shouted, since the kitchen was closer to the front door.

I heard a familiar voice chatting with Rose. "Wassup Rose, where Dom at?"
"In here." I heard her say.

Following behind her into the living room was Meech, who I'd haven't seen in months.

"Yo, wassup Meech!" I said giving him a bro hug.

"Nun much man, long time no see."

"What 'chu doing here?" I asked

"Word on the street is that some dudes is looking for you."

My eyebrows wrinkled. "What for?"
"It don't sound too nice I can tell you that." He responded.

I looked down and thought hard. "Names?"

"The main dude's name is Andre, I don't know who his followers are. They were talking 'bout you haven't bought shit for your baby-"

Right then it had clicked.

"Annika." I sighed. "That's not my baby."

"Mmm, well I was just giving you a heads up, I gotta head back to my mommas house I wasn't even supposed to leave. I'm trying to fix her porch." He said heading out the door.

"Aight man, thanks. You can stop by more often." I held onto the door knob, ready to close it.

"Aight." He said and I closed to door.

I shook my head and went into the kitchen where Rose was preparing dinner. Straight up bullshit. Annika is not about to stress me over that.

Rose was cutting up vegetables and putting them into a salad bowl. Didn't even look at me.

"What's for dinner?" I looked around and only saw a bowl full of salad-where the chicken at?
