Dom arrives and I Postmate Panera Bread. I get a grilled cheese with macaroni and tomato soup. Dom gets a grilled cheese and a plain bagel with cream cheese. We have tea delivered as well. When the food arrives, Dom goes to the door and then he brings the bag and drinks over to the coffee table where I wait.

"You're the best!" I exclaim, sipping my tea happily.

"Do you want to talk about earlier?" Dom asks.

"I think I need an additional job. Working for David feels like a hobby. I want to feel like I deserve the money I make." I sigh.

"You don't have to right now. You've only been here for a little over a month. There's plenty of time to figure out where you want to be." Dom kisses my cheek. "Besides, I have complete faith in you. My girl went to Stanford."

"I did go to Stanford." I nod. "Why do I let things such as not having enough work to do upset me? I have a great job." 

Dom and I eat our Panera and snuggle up on the couch. I play with his hair and smile.

"How did I get so lucky?" I ask, looking him in the eyes.

"I'm the lucky one. I'm dating a lawyer." Dom winks.

"Yeah, but you're hot and you're successful and you didn't need a Stanford education to get there." I laugh. 

"Maybe, but saying 'Oh, I do YouTube' is significantly less cool than saying 'I got my law degree from Stanford'," Dom says.

"Whatever." I smile widely. "You're cute."

"You're cute," Dom smirks.

"I feel so bad about meeting Jc earlier. I feel like I made a terrible impression on him. I used to have such a huge crush on him." I sigh.

"What?" Dom asks.

"Don't worry, that was before I developed a crush on you." I wink. "But seriously, back in the days of O2L, Jc was my favorite." 

"Who's your favorite now?" Dom asks, smirking.

"Like my favorite YouTuber?" I ask; he nods. "Without a doubt, Shane Dawson. I've grown into myself because of him. I learned to love myself because of him."

Dom pouts. "But you're my other favorite." I kiss him. 

Dom laughs and kisses me, cupping my face in his hands.

"So, you know how David's birthday is next week?" I ask; Dom nods. "Ok well, Liza is having a boat rented, like they did for hers, Scotty's, and Kristen's birthdays, but for David. Will you come with me?" 

"Of course, babe." Dom smiles. "I'd love to."


The next week, we all head out to the boat. I wear an olive green one-piece swimsuit with black high-waisted shorts and flip-flops. Dom wears a pair of olive green swim trunks and a black T-shirt. We look super cute and super matchy.

I force him to take tons of pictures with me, but my favorite is one that Jason took off-guard. Dom is picking me up, our faces inches from each other. I have my mouth open in a laugh, my eyes squeezed tight as he lifts me, my arms wrapped around his neck. Dom is smiling widely, his eyes on me. 

I take photos with David. In the first one, he holds his camera up like he's going to record and I'm rolling my eyes with my arms crossed. In the second, we're hugging. In the third, I'm hugging Liza while David gives the camera his best what-the-hell look.

I share the three photos and caption it, "Happy birthday boss man! Ps I'm stealing your girlfriend" with purple hearts. I tag David and Liza and smile up at Dom as he wraps an arm around my waist.
