This Could Be Us✔

Chapter 14

Dom's POV

I wake up with my head pounding. I get up from the couch and see a note on the refrigerator.

I will be back soon. Just went on a walk to get fresh air. -Lilly

No "I love you" or anything. Damn, I must've really screwed up. I need to make things right and I can't lose her. So I get out my phone and text Lilly.

Lilly's POV

I walk to the dog park, breathing in the fresh air. The dog park always calms me down. I find a bench and sit down. A little dog runs up to me and jumps on my lap. I look at its tag: Dollar. That can mean only one thing: Yousef is here. Yousef and I have um, have history between us. We dated for a year and then we broke up. I look up and see Yousef standing there.

Yousef: Hi Lilly.

Me: Hi Yousef. Dollar just ran up to me and jumped on my lap.

Yousef: Hey, are you ok? You seem a little bit down.

Me: No, I'm fine.

Yousef: Lilly, I know when there's something bothering you.

So I take a deep breath, and spill everything that's been happening lately and what happened last night.

Yousef: Wait, so you were sick AND you had to drive all the way to pick him up in your pajamas?

Me: Yep.

Yousef: Wow, he really screwed up. He doesn't deserve you, Lilly.

Me: Well, I'm waiting for him to apologize. If he doesn't apologize in the next 24 hours, then you're right. I believe in second chances, even when someone screwed up this badly.

Yousef: Yeah, I know. It's been forever since we've talked.

Me: Yeah, it really has. Thanks for listening. It's been great catching up with you.

I hug him, and right when he hugs me back, I see Dom.

Dom: What the hell, Lilly? Just because I screwed up dosen't mean that you can go back to him,ok?

Me: Oh, so it's ok for you to makeout with other girls, but I can't hug guys?

Dom: Look, I know I screwed up, but I didn't know you should go back to Yousef.

Me: And why do you even care?

Dom: Because I'm your boyfriend. And I love you.

Me: I'm not so sure anymore.

Dom: But-

Me: We can talk about this at home, Dominic. Bye, Yousef.

Yousef: Bye, Lilly.

We walk home in silence. Finally, Dom breaks it.

Dom: Ok, Lilly, stop. I know you're mad at me-

Me: Mad? Mad is an understatement! I'm pissed!

Dom: I didn't mean to hurt you-

When he said that, i couldn't take it anymore. I reached up and slapped him across the face.

Me: What the hell? You didn't mean to hurt me? Well, you did!

He rubbed the spot where he had been hit.

Dom: I really am truly sorry. I know I shouldn't have had that many shots, but at that moment I simply forgot and couldn't control myself. I really do love you, and if I wasn't drunk I wouldn't have made out with those girls. I only want you, and no one else. Please don't walk away.

And then I slap him again, to remind him how much he hurt me
and how lucky this hoe is.

Me: I understand. Well, you're lucky because I believe in second chances.

Dom: So, does that mean you forgive me?

Me: Yes, it does.

Dom: Thank you, Lilly. I love you so much.

Me: I love you, too.

He stared deeply in my eyes, like the day we filmed our first collab, put his hand on my cheek, leaned in and kissed me. It was like the first day when we kissed, only better. Everything in that moment couldn't have been more perfect. When we broke apart, he slid his hand into mine and we walked home just like that.

Dom: How can I make it up to you?

Me: That's up to you to decide.

Dom: How about we go on a date tonight? Just you and me.

Me: Ok, what do you have in mind?

Dom: Well, we can go to that new restaurant by the beach.

Me: Ok..

Dom: Be sure to wear the hottest outfit you can find.

Me: Oh, yeah? Ok, baby, I will.

I lean in to kiss him and pretty soon it turns into a big make out fest. "I love you so damn much." Dom murmurs between kisses. "And I love you" I respond. Then I break the kiss before it gets too wild.

Me: Babe, I have to get ready.

So I go upstairs and get the dress that I wore in my "If My Family was In One Direction" video. There's a little cleavage showing, but I don't give an eff. I plug my straighter into the wall, and get started on my makeup. 30 minutes later, I finish. Then I get started on my hair, which takes an hour to straighten. Just when I'm applying my favorite lipstick ever, BAWSE, Dom comes into the bathroom, without a shirt and starts massaging my shoulders.

Me: Dom, you were supposed to be ready an hour ago!

Dom: I know, baby. But don't you like this view?

I laugh and throw a pillow at him.

Me: Go put a shirt on.

Dom: Ok, if you insist.

Me: Oh, stop it.

He goes to put a shirt on.

Dom: Let's stop at my house so I can wear something better than this.

We grab all our stuff and drive to Dom's house. He runs inside and changes quickly, combs his hair, and sprays a little bit of cologne, and we're off. I didn't know what was going to happen, but whatever happens, happens.
