• Chapter Seven •
I sat on Dom's hospital bed with her and she gave me a look. I already knew what was coming.
"That bullet hurt." She said. "Ari I love you and all but I'm not about to get killed for our one week relationship. I think we should stay friends." Just friends?
I bit my thumb nail and looked at the floor before nodding in agreement.
"I feel you. I didn't know she was that crazy. I'm sorry Dom." I said. She grabbed my free hand and smiled a bit.
"It wasn't your fault. You just got crazy bitches head over heels for you. I'm numb now Honey Bun. I'll just need you to take care of me for a couple weeks." She explained ending with a wink. I smiled and nodded.
"I got you. I promise. I gotta go handle some things first though. I'll be back in let's say 2 hours. Time me." I said. She tried to sit up but I pushed her back gently by her shoulder. "What you trying to sit up for?"
She looked in my eyes and bit her lip.
"N-nothing. I'll see you in 2 hours." She said, forcing a smile. I kissed her hand before I got up and left. I called an uber to take me home and seen Jakari's rental outside.
I called the cops before I got in the uber so they should have been here by now. Fortunately, I seen two cop cars pull up after I stepped inside my house. Jakari was asleep on the couch. How could she let herself fall asleep after trying to kill Dom? Did she think I would just let her sleep peacefully on my couch after that?
The cops walked up to my door and I told them everything. One of them went to wake her up and the other stood nearby.
"What's going on?" Jakari asked as if she was confused.
"You're under arrest for attempting to murder Dom Kane." He read her rights while cuffing her and then they took her gun and things from her. The relief I felt in my heart when she didn't try to lie or resist was too great.
"It's late, we'll call you in for questioning tomorrow morning. Dom Kane's statement will be taken afterwards." The cop said. I nodded and watched them leave. It was about 1am now. I went up to my room and got out of my work clothes. I had a hickey on my neck from Dom.
I don't know how easy it's gonna be to stay friends with her but I'll put all my effort into it. I got into the shower and made sure I didn't fall asleep because man I was tired. I dried off 20 minutes later and put on an all black sweatsuit. I put my constantly growing hair into a small bun and went down to the kitchen.
I made myself some food and ate before I left and went back to the hospital. Dom was dozing off when I walked into her room.
"You're about 4 seconds late." She slurred. They must have her on some strong stuff.
"Hush. I'm here." I said.
"Can you lay with me?" She asked with low eyes.
"Are you sure?" I asked. She glared at me and I got into the bed. She cuddled up next to me and I thought she fell asleep for a minute until-
"I don't know how I'm gonna be just friends with you. I mean I can try but.. I want more than your friendship. I wanted you so bad today. If I never let you open that door we wouldn't be here right now. But I shouldn't be thinking about having sex with you when I just got shot and I told you I wanted to be just friends. Ughh I don't know what I want." She rambled on and on about how hurt and horny she was at the same time until she put herself to sleep. I fell asleep right after.
* * * *
I woke up to my phone ringing. It was the police station. I had to go in for questioning now. Dom was still asleep so I slipped out of the bed and kissed her forehead before I dipped out. I got to the station around 8am. I was so sleepy but I went in ready to get this bitch sent away.
They took my phone and keys and shit and then took me to the back to get questioned.
"Can you explain the events in order and in detail please?" He asked. I told him everything and answered any other questions he had.
"So she hasn't confessed yet?" I asked him after he finished asking questions.
"I have no doubts you're telling the truth but she won't talk to us so we have to get everything we can get. We do have the evidence of the bullet and the gun and fingerprints. All the essential stuff. We'll still need a statement from Ms.Kane though." He explained.
"Okay well am I done here?" I asked. He nodded and escorted me back out to the lobby where I got my stuff and left. I went home to put on a nice outfit. I had employees opening the stores and I was taking a vacation from the corporate life. I was leaning towards selling the company but I might just settle for hiring a new executive.
I was in the middle of changing my clothes when Dom texted me.
Dom Baby 💕- The cops are here to talk to me. Are you coming back anytime soon?
Me- I'll be there. Where do you want food from?
Dom Baby 💕- I don't feel like eating. I'll just take an extra large mixed berry smoothie and one of the big yogurt parfaits from that one place you took me to.
Me- But you don't feel like eating? 😂 Yeah okay I'll be there around 11.
Dom Baby 💕- 😂 Okayy
I finished changing my clothes and left the house. But when I stepped outside, I was tackled to the ground by Kaden. Kaden as in my ex girlfriend. Kaden as in the bitch that tried to move here with me just to get away from her dad. Kaden as in the bitch that never really liked me.
