Blood and Dresses [Book 4]

Chapter 6

*Dominic's P.O.V.*

"That took a while..." Mina points out in a soft voice as I come through the front door. "How did it go?" She stands, placing her small hands on my chest. Sighing, I take her hands in mine, staring into her eyes. "It went." Is all I say before I walk into the kitchen.

"It went?" She questions as I look for left over pizza. "Where is Rose?" I ask, hearing Mina walk out and back in. She holds a pizza box in her hands, holding her arms out to give it to me. "She's in bed," I take the box, thanking her, then kissing her lips.

Mina speaks in a soft tone, "Did you see Daniel?" Setting the box down, I pick her up, placing her on the counter. "Unfortunately," I state, placing myself between her thighs. My bigger hands grip them when I put my forehead to hers.

"How did that go?" She asks wearily, running her fingers through my hair. "I knocked him out," I reply, looking at my red fist. "I knew something happened." She mutters under her breath. "You came home so late that I was worried."

"It's not too late," I tell her, backing away, and getting out a piece of pizza. "It's four." She deadpans, rolling her beautifully green eyes at me. "Tell me what happened?" She begs, watching me eat.

"Well, I dropped him off," I start, leaning on the island. "As soon as he walked in Daniel started screaming at him, hit him, threw him though a table, and he threw a beer bottle at him. So I went in, got Dalton, but Daniel was drunk and didn't want me to. He tried hitting me so I knocked him out." I finish off with a shrug.

"And Dalton? Did you leave him there?" She pushes, I see the anxiety in her eyes. "He's staying in a hotel, I'm bringing him a car before the morning so he can drive around." I explain, putting the pizza crust back into the box. "I told him until we can get stuff figured out everything would be on me."

She jumps off and hugs me tightly, pressing her face into my chest. "Thank you for helping him." She whispers. I lightly run a hand through her hair, thinking of which car to bring him. "I think I'll let him borrow the Lamborghini." I tell her.

"That's an expensive car, Dom." Mina looks up at me. "So, he's not going to wreck it or anything. Plus he'll look cool." I chuckle thinking about it. "No one drives it anyways," I say dismissively, waving my hand.

"Okay," She agrees. "Come back soon," With that she kissed my lips, making me forget about everything else in the world. When she pulls away she heads upstairs, probably to bed, and I go to the garage. I grab the keys to the Lamborghini, getting in it, and driving off to Dalton's hotel.

"Holy shit!" Dalton yells when he sees the car. "You have a Lambo?" He asks excitedly. I chuckle handing him the keys to his confusion. "Yep and you get to drive it, bud." I tell him, running my hand down the expensive car that I don't need.

"Thank you, sir." He says, taking the keys from me. "I need you to drop me off, though." I say, getting in the passenger side. "Oh my god, butterfly doors." He groans, happily. He jumps in, starting it, and basically drooling over the car. "We'll go today and grab some of your clothes and stuff while your father is at work."

He nods in agreement, "That means you'll have to sign out of school early." I explain further. "I don't mind," He says quietly, driving the dark roads. "You have your school uniform?" I question, looking out the window. "Yes, sir. Can I pick Rose up for school and drop her off?"

"Sure, bud."

He drives me home, dropping me off and thanking me almost a million times. Once I get into the house I walk upstairs, peeling my clothes off, and getting into bed with Mina. Her hair is wet, signalling that she took a shower. As soon as I push my body to hers she's pressing her body perfectly to fit with mine.

"I love you, babygirl." I whisper to her just before I fall asleep.

~oOo~

"Dad! Dalton is picking me up today! I love you, bye!" Rose screams from downstairs, right after I hear the front door slam and the familiar pur of the Lamborghini. "Bye," I tiredly croak.

I roll over on to my back, staring up at the ceiling, Mina is lightly sleeping next to me. Getting up, I decide to make breakfast.

I make bacon, eggs, toast, and toaster strudels. "That looks amazing, baby." Mina complements as I begin making our plates. "I love you," I grinned, setting one down in front of her. Her hand shoots out, catching mine. "I love you." She exclaims, kissing my knuckles. I settle on sitting on the counter by the stove while she sits at the island.

"Let's go to the other house today," I tell Mina, spiking her interest. "The other day I found a secret compartment in one of Nick's desks. I haven't had a chance to look through it." She immediately gets happy, only modding and eating her food.

"Why haven't we found it before?" She questions, getting both of us orange juice because I had forgotten. "We weren't really looking before. I didn't see a reason to so I didn't." I explain, thanking her for the juice. "Let's go."

~oOo~

"Alright, we need to figure out how to unlock it." I state the obvious as Mina crouches down next to me. Looking at the compartment in the drawer, it doesn't really seem like much. "I'll see if I can find a key in his room," Mina suggests, walking out.

Nick was always a simple guy, he loved hiding things in plain view, he loved decieving, and he loved tricks. If he wanted to keep someone out, all he had to do was put a fake lock.

I tug on the top lid and it simply opens. I knew it. Before I could call for Mina something catches my eye on the first paper. I quickly pull out the paper, reading it as fast as I can.

Cocaine
Sold to enemy
Stolen from mafia
Darry
Me
Kill
Plan

These seem to be the only words that I can read on the paper. Nick had stolen the kilos of cocaine that I pinned on Darry. Darry was innocent and I killed him.

"Dominic, what's wrong?" Mina asks from the doorway.
