Unlawful Love

Chapter Eight

I woke up to something I've never felt before. I felt safe, although I still had no idea what was causing this feeling. I opened my eyes to see a sleeping Dominic. 'He looks so...peaceful' I thought to myself. He doesn't look as tense and angry when he's sleeping. I felt a throbbing pain in my head, I groaned, waking Dominic.
"Huh! What's wrong?!" He said as he jolted up in a sleepy haze.
"N-nothings wrong, it's just a killer headache, hey uh what happened last night?" I asked, putting my hand an his arm reasuring him.
He let out a nervous chuckle and looked away, "We, uh, well, um... You- you got drunk and uh we um.." His voice was low and raspy, it was honestly pretty sexy.
"What did we do?" I asked
"We...had sex... Y-you don't regret it right?" He sounded scared, I smiled at him.
"I can't really remember that much but no, no I don't regret it." A sigh of relief came out of his lips. I got my phone to look at the time, "3:27! How did we sleep for that long!" I practically yelled. I noticed all the missed calls from Captain Rosette.
"Is everything okay?" Dominic asked combing his hair back with his fingers.
"I'm really late for work! Damn!" I rushed up and ran into the bathroom. I took a quick shower and brushed my teeth in a matter of minutes. My head was still throbbing. I walked out the bathroom with only a towel on and tried to get up some clothes. I felt Dominic come up behind me.
"Aww come on~ just call out. Your Captain won't mind." He whispered into my ear whilst putting his arms around my waist.
"I wish I could but he has my dog and-"
"Husshh~ Eli you'll be fine just tell him you have a hangover and you can't come to work." Dominic cut me off. Then a pound at the door.
"Oh god, what now." I said, Dominic released his grip on my waist and I ran downstairs. The knock grew louder "Coming!" I yelled. I opened the door gripping onto my towel so it doesn't fall down.
"Graham! Finally, I thought you were dead." Amelia said looking behind me. "Who's that?" She whispered. I looked behind me seeing Dominic sitting on the arm of my couch with his arms folded in only his boxers, I turned back towards her and gave her an awkward smile.
"O-oh! That's Dominic... My uhh bo- friend, my friend, he slept over." I told her, I opened the door wider so she could get in.
She scoffed, "Dominic huh, Amelia, pleasure to meet you." They shook hands. "Well uhh I also came over 'cause, we got some noise complaints last night from some of your neighbors. They said it was coming from your apartment."
"Oh... Um could you describe the noise because I'm pretttyy sure there was no noise coming from this apartment, r-right Dom?"
"Yea-yea no noise not any that I remember." Dominic agreed
"Well they said it sounded like, girlish moans, very loud moans and uh, here's a good one, like someone was getting fucked." She lifted one of her eyebrows. "Did you two have a girl over?" She continued.
Dom and I laughed, "Nope, just us guys. No girl, no moans, must be someone else in the building." I reassured her.
"Hmm okay, and uh Cap' said to call him." She glared at Domi, looking him up and down "And uh, nice bulge you got there Dom." He quickly covered his crotch with his hands. She smirked and walked out the door. I locked it soon after. I turned around to see Dominic playing with is fingers.
"Y'know Dominic I've never seen a grown man play with his hands as much as you do." It didn't even look like he was paying attention, he was so fixated on his hands. "Helloo~ Dominic?" I waved my hand in front of his face. He looked up at me, the way the light hit his eyes made the blue seem much brighter than it actually was.
"Yea? Did you say something?" He asked. I felt like a wave of cuteness went over me. His voice was still raspy but something about it seemed childish.
"Oh! Umm, yea, I said that I uh never seen a grown man play with his hands as much as you do." He suddenly realized what he was doing and stopped.
"I didn't even realize what I was doing, I was lost in thought." He gave me a little smile. "You're still in your towel." I looked down and ran upstairs to change. I put on a orange and white stripe shirt, tucked it into my pants with cuffed bottoms. I hurried up and put my belt on. I heard loud steps coming from the stairs.
"Dom?" I called out, he let out a small grunt and opened the bedroom door. He looked me up, down then up again. He gave me a slight smirk and sat on the bed.
"What does this make us?" He whispered. He started playing with his hands again, instead of a peaceful play with him pulling on each finger and folding them over each other, he was twirling his thumbs quickly like he was anxious about something.
"I dunno... We should talk more about this." I told him whilst grabbing my phone to call my Captain.
"Graham, I've been waiting for your call. Where are you." The base in his voice sent a shiver down my spine
"Sorry sir, I can't make it in today. I'm feeling sick and I don't wanna slow everything down." I told him, trying to put a little rasp in my voice to convince him.
"Very well then, come in tomorrow or else you'll really be slowing us down. I'll bring your dog over after work."
"Thank you sir." We said our goodbyes and hung up.
