Dominique: Her Tale of Fate

|| Eighteen

Tatiana's eyes were pressed on the two of them with her lips also curled into a frown. She demanded answers, and Dominique only stared at her wondering how she and Alex had even known each other. Well, that's a question for another time. Right now, she just wanted to be in his arms. So, Tatiana could go to hell for all she cared.

As if they shared the same thoughts, Alex simply looked away from the frowning lady and back to her with a smile, "Let's get out of here, Minnie."

She nodded, "Of course," She said but then remembered her work behind the stands, and her face fell, "but, I'm on a shift here."

Alex's raised one eyebrow, "A shift?"

She was about to reply, when Genesis's voice came up from behind them, and the three turned to her. Her tray was empty, so it was obvious that she had maxed out the drinks and came for a refill. Dominique instantly felt bad - she could not possibly leave all the work to Gen.

"What are you still waiting for, Dom?" Genesis asked.

Dominique pursed her lips, "You mean I can go?"

Genesis rolled her eyes, and sighed. "C'mon, go!"

Dominique could not believe that Genesis was okay with her going with Alex, and she smiled broadly. She reached for Alex's hand and pulled him along with her.

"Thanks, Gen. I owe you one!" She excitedly said to Genesis who smiled and watched as they both left the stand.

She then turned around to see the frozen look on Tatiana's face and she laughed. "Hey, missy, are you okay?"

Tatiana turned her shocked eyes to Genesis, and shook her head in disbelief, "What just happened?"

Genesis laughed, "I believe you just got dumped," She said, and laughed harder.

Tatiana's face grew red like a tomato, and she blared at Genesis, "You savages!" She gritted.

Genesis pretended to be surprised at her actions, "Oh, dear, I hope you're not mad," She said and eyed her, before hissing, "You better be, because a savage just stole a man right from your side."

Tatiana snapped in anger, "Fuck you all!," She scowled and marched away.

Genesis bent over, and held her side as she laughed so hard at Tatiana. Whosoever that man was, a ruthless woman like Tatiana didn't deserve him, but someone like her friend was perfect.

Alexander and Dominique walked hand in hand to his vehicle which was parked at the side of the hostel. They hadn't said a word to each other, and only let the sensation in between them speak for the both of them. She wondered what had happened while she was away from him, and at this thought, she also began considering how the future would be.

No matter how deaf she wanted to be towards the sick things in her life, she just couldn't help but be tortured by Vincent's words. She wished she could tell Alex about his father, and what he had said to her. But, her heart was heavy and her lips reluctant to speak.

It was just minutes after seeing again, and he couldn't take his eyes off her, for he feared that if he did, she might leave again, and he just knew he'll not be able to bear that.

As much as he craved answers, his heart was pallid to searching the roots of his questions or demanding the stems of her answers. One day, in her free will, Dominique would share it all with him, and that time would be perfect. For now, all he could do was to follow the leads of his destiny with her. However, if destiny or fate plays a joke on separating him from his beloved, then he'll just have to fuck it up, and take control of his own fate.
