A Toxic Relationship

Chapter 9

I arrived and looked around to find nothing but a beautifully decorated table with candlelight on top of it I then felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I turned around to face Dominik who was being oddly sweet. I gave him a small smile at him and wrapped my arms around his neck. It was the best I can do; I can't exactly bring myself to be happy with him when he scares me now, I don't trust him anymore. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to break up with him or not tonight, he's done something nice for me and I don't want to set him off. "You look beautiful." He whispered, leaning his forehead against mine.

"You think so?" I asked, with a small smile.

"Of course you've always been beautiful." he pulled back and led me to the table beside us. When I sat down, he pushed in the chair that I was sitting in like a gentleman. We sat there and talked for a while, then we ate. After we were done, Dominik took my hand and pulled me out of my chair.

"May I have this dance, my lady?" He asked, being a little silly. 

I giggled. "I would love to." I giggled but still had a little voice in the back of my mind, I decided to ignore it this time. We began dancing for a while, then soon he whispered in my ear.

"I want to make you mine forever." He whispered, he let go of me and made some space between us. He got down in one knee and pulled out a small box that would hold a ring inside. My heart began to pump quickly, and my breathing became uneasy. My heart began to race a million times faster than two seconds ago but there was something at the back of my head telling me that I shouldn't be doing this. It's too soon and he's not a good person or a sane one for that matter. I want to say no but, what will he do if I didn't say yes? Would he kill me? It's my happiness or my survival. I should call the cops that's what I should do but I don't have any evidence against him, what would I even report to the police anyway? They will tell me they'll look into it, and I'd never hear from them again. "Scarlett Grey, my princess, will you do me the honor of making me the happiest man in the world by marrying me?" He asked, smiling, I forced a smile, something inside me said again, "Don't do it."

My smile soon faded, and I don't really know how long I had been standing there thinking. His facial expression changed, he was no longer smiling like I've already said no, but I then decided to answer him before he got violent, "Yes." I whispered, he grinned, grabbed my hand and slid the ring on my finger.  there was still that little part inside saying I would regret that decision and that I should just run and get the hell away. I would die before I make it ten feet.

We came back home when I was feeling extremely tired, as I was changing, I felt a little bit dizzy. I grabbed on to something to keep my balance, I began to feel confused and forgot where I was for a second. "Dom?" I asked calmly, he came in and saw that I was struggling to stand properly.
"Hey, I got you." He said, holding me, I leaned towards his body as much as I could, I kept my hand on his chest to help me stand straight.
"Can you help me get over to the bed?" I asked, I wanted to ask if he put anything in the food again, but I wasn't about to go down that road. 
"Yes, my love." He whispered, he pulled my body and gently sat me down on the bed. "Do you want some tea?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"Y-" I stopped because if there was any chance that he was sedating my food then there's no way in hell I was about to eat or drink anything he brought me. "Actually, no I feel like I'm already going to pass out." It wasn't a complete lie because I was dosing off, but I wouldn't know what else to say.

Every minute that passes by, I have begun to feel worse, Dominik came to check up on me and offered to hold me and I said yes without hesitation. I needed him to distract me from this awful feeling, so he took me into his arms. My back hit his chest, his arms wrapped around my waist and stuffed his face in my neck. He kissed the side of my head, and soon I fell in a deep sleep.

~

I woke up feeling sick, I ran to the bathroom, waking up Dominik. "Shit, Sky, are you alright?!" He asked, running to me, he pulled my hair back as I threw up my insides, I kept on throwing up till my body couldn't any longer, I flushed the toilet and brushed my teeth, getting that gross taste and smell out. "Get ready, we need to get you to see a doctor." Dominik said.

"No, Dom, I'm fine." He only rolled his eyes and decided to ignore anything coming out of my mouth. Asshole is what I would have said if he wasn't crazy.

The doctor came back with the results. "Well, you two are in for a treat." He said, smiling. The doctors comment made me feel scared, I held a grip Dominik's hand to try and make myself feel better, and surprise, surprise it didn't make me feel better it made me feel worse. 

I looked over to Dominik, who didn't look happy. "Why is that Dr. Detemple?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"You two are going to be parents. Congrats." He said, smiling. Again, Dominik didn't look happy. I, on the other hand, became even more scared. 

"Great, thank you, doctor." He said, letting go of my hand and storming out of the room.

"Dom. It's not a big deal." The whole car ride was awkward and absurd, of course he didn't want this child but I'm not getting rid of it. He was yelling and screaming almost the entire way back, it's when he didn't speak that it got awkward. 

"Not a big deal?! You cannot be serious. We're getting rid of that thing!" He growled; he didn't just call it a thing.

"First of all, he's not a thing! Second, no, I'm not killing my baby!" I fought back because he isn't about to take the one thing that I wanted growing up. I wanted to be a mother and a better one than mine, of course I didn't want Dominik to be my baby daddy but what's done is done. 

"I'm not going to be a father yet!" he gripped the steering wheel so hard I can see his knuckles turn white. 

"Oh, but you're willing to marry me right now?!" I asked.

"That's different!" he stepped on the gas harder. 

"Dom, please, I want my baby." Tears rolled down my face, I can't imagine killing my child.

He said nothing, we pulled into the driveway and parked the car, he slammed the door after getting out, not bothering to wait for me.
