Vlog Squad {Dom DeAngelis}

Elevated

"So, um, do you like him?" I ask my mom. "I know he's the first person I've ever introduced you to."

"Well, there was--" Mom begins.

I cut her off. "Reagan doesn't count. We were friends before we began dating." 

"He seems to really like you, honey. You should see the way he looks at you when you're not paying attention." Mom smiles.

"Oh, I know. The best part of working with a bunch of YouTubers is that someone always has a camera ready. I have lots of pictures of us that were taken off-guard." I smile widely. "Mom, I love him."

"Does he love you?" Mom asks.

"He does. Um, his twenty-fifth birthday is next week. I really want to get him something nice, but I don't know what to do." I bite my lip.

"What does he enjoy?" Mom asks.

"He likes drinking." I laugh.

"Why don't the two of you go up to Napa next weekend?" Mom suggests.

"We could. I just hate to ask David for two weekends in a row." I sigh. "I'll make it work." 

Just then, Dom walks out of my bedroom wearing a pair of sweatpants and a loose gray T-shirt.

"I'm going to change real quick." I kiss Dom on the cheek and go into my bedroom. I slip out of my dress and into a pair of running shorts and my Clickbait sweatshirt. I join the others in the main room a moment later.

Mom and Dom are talking softly.

"Hey, you." I kiss Dom on the cheek as I sit between him and my mother.

"Hey." He grins widely.

"What were you two talking about?" I ask them.

"Oh, nothing." Mom smiles.

"Don't worry, babe." Dom kisses my cheek. 

I cuddle up with Dom as my mom goes to change. When she returns, John follows her.

The four of us squeeze together on my couch and I play a movie.

When the movie is over, Mom and John return to the spare bedroom. Dom and I take up residence in the kitchen. I grab my camera and set it up to film.

"Hey babe, can we play a game?" I ask.

"What game?" Dom smirks.

"Shot trivia." I smile.

"I guess." Dom hugs me. 

I grab the small whiteboards that I own along with two markers. 

I turn on the camera. "Hey, what's up, you guys? My name is Ally Murphy, if you don't know. I've been meaning to change my intro but I don't know what to change it to. Comment down below what you think my new intro should be. Anyway, I'm here with my boyfriend, Dommy D, and today, we're going to be doing shot trivia." I smile at Dom.

Dom brings two shot glasses over to me along with a bottle of vodka and a bottle of vanilla rum.

"So, we have two different types of alcohol, because I like to mix it up. How this game works is one of us will ask a question and we both write down the answers. If we get the question right, no one takes a shot. If it's wrong, you take a shot." I fill the glasses since I know we'll drink eventually.

Dom goes first. "Where was I born?" He asks.

I roll my eyes. I write the answer and he does the same. We show the answers at the same time and I'm right, of course.
