The Ideal Deal

33

Dominic laid me down on my bed, causing me to chuckle once more.

"I can walk, you know," I smiled. We had been hanging out downstairs for about an hour after coming from Daniel's place and decided to head to bed. Dominic had insisted on carrying me to my room. He had even carried me bridal style to his car when we were leaving the Porter's house and when we had gotten home. "I feel an ache between my legs, but I can walk."

He teased, "I guess I didn't do my job well enough," causing me to chuckle.

"Even with the pain, you did your job pretty well," I smiled.

"So...good first time?" he asked shyly, but I shook my head.

I corrected, "Great first time." He blushed while smiling and kissed my forehead before walking towards my door. "Wait," I called out, and he stopped in his tracks and turned around. "I wanna talk." He nodded and walked over to my bed. He then took a seat at the edge. "You know...you didn't have to be passionate or affectionate during-"

"I wanted to," he shook his head. "I usually just, excuse my language, fuck. It felt nice to actually...make love to someone, I guess."

I also pointed out, "You didn't have to...um...use...your tongue..you know..."

"I wanted to do that as well," he shrugged. "That was also a first for me. I usually receive but never give."

I asked, "Why did you do it then?"

Dominic sighed and twisted his lips to the side as if he was thinking about something.

"If I tell you, I don't know how you'll see me," he said, and I began wondering if he possibly felt the same way about me as I did for him. I sat up and crawled to him.

I then placed my hand on his shoulder, and he faced me. I promised, "I won't judge you. Just talk to me."

He inhaled and exhaled a deep breath before saying, "I wish I could just say that I like you, but I don't." I felt my heart breaking as the words left his mouth. I didn't know why I even got my expectations up in the first place. "I...I love you, Summer. I love you as a friend and as something more. I spent this past month trying to avoid you because I've been trying to lose feelings for you, but I can't. They only get stronger. I know you probably think of me like a brother or something, and I'm sorry if me saying this ruins that, but I can't hold it in anymore. And I definitely won't pretend as if what happened two hours ago didn't mean the world to me."

I smiled and smooched his lips before admitting, "I love you too, Dominic- also as more than a friend, and I want to get to that stage where we're both in love with each other."

"Really?" he smiled, and I nodded while smiling brightly. He wrapped me into a tight hug, and I giggled a bit while tightly hugging him as well. I felt as if a heavy weight was lifted off my chest. We then slightly pulled away from the hug and passionately kissed. After pulling away, I punched his shoulder, and he frowned while holding the spot.

I smiled, "That's for being distant and making me sad."

While cupping my face and staring deeply into my eyes, he apologized, "I'm sorry, truly. I would never intentionally hurt you."

I smiled while nodding, "I believe you." He then smiled as he smooched my lips once more, and I couldn't help but feel free, content, blessed, and completed. "Can we sleep together? I don't mean sex, obviously, because I am sore!"

He chuckled and nodded. He then picked me up and walked me to his room. He sat me down on his bed and took off his shirt, as he had preferred sleeping shirtless. I couldn't help but check him out, but when he turned and noticed me, I shyly blushed while smiling.

I lay down, and he lay beside and wrapped his hand around my waist. He then pulled my body closer to his before throwing my leg over his waist.

Wondering whether this was a dream, I demanded, "Pinch me- and no, I'm not trying to do something freaky." He chuckled and pinched me, and I scrounged my nose in pain. "I thought I was dreaming again," I smiled.

He chuckled and smooched my lips while shaking his head in amusement. He then winked, "It feels like a dream to me as well," causing blush to form on both of our cheeks
