days on end - dominic fike (cancelled)

005 / FIVE

"hi, one second please." i say while putting on my gloves before i could give the customer my attention.

"i don't know if i can wait that long," a voice with familiarity says. i looked up to a familiar face but yet a foreign surprise.

"no way did you go bald." my words barely came out. his new hair cut felt like making me drool.

"aye, close your mouth shawty, you might catch flies." dominic jokes before going on, "what you think? it's not exactly bald, just shorter," his hands roamed the freshly groomed head.

"damn. it looks mad good. i was not expecting this. but why are you here so late! all the food is gone for the night," i told him.

"i came here late because i wanted to have your full attention," dominic's mouth formed a sly smile.

"and cause he ain't had no ride!" his bearded brother called from the entrance.

"that is true, i have no car." his eyes roll. i wasn't surprised. who knows what could've happened to his belongings after 7 months. i was surprised he even had a phone.

"well i appreciate the effort." i smile at him.

"you said we're gonna stop by! not stop by and flirt. i got alex and my son waiting," his brother continues to complain from behind him.

"at least let me say what i gotta say bro. stop being a dick." dominic taunts back. his brother rolls his eyes and gave him another warning before he returns to his car outside. i took my apron off and sat at a small table with dominic.

"looks like we're being cut short. but i want to see you again, outside of this place." dominic mentions his brother before he goes on, " i have a record label party for me on friday at the club of diamonds."

"the club of diamonds? that's in the city? that sounds mad legit!" i exclaim. i've never even been to club of diamonds and it's been almost six months since i've turned 21. usually 21st birthday parties are thrown for the real first club experience.
rappers also stopped by there once in a while.

"it is legit and i want you in my vip section, i really do hope to see you there." dominic's hand suddenly scooped mine.

"i'm there! just text me the details." a smile started to grow on my face quickly.

"of course. i'll hit you later tonight," dominic says before we crawl out of the booth.

"i'll be waiting for your text," dominic's arms open up with invitation.

being ballsy, my frame crept into his arms and i planted a warm kiss on his cheek. "good night dom." i whispered in his ear before returning to the back of the restaurant.

the shock of it all left dominic stunned.

"good night," dominic stutters out. i smiled to myself, proud of my decisions. not quickly after, my anxieties started to form. was that too much?

"what are you thinking about?" jack interrupts.

"uh, just about how much i need that day off on friday. i've been needing a spa day for years now." i lied through my teeth, ironically. it was true what i said, but dominic was most definitely on my mind.

"i'm off on friday too! wanna make plans for later that night ?" jacks face lightens.

"i'm busy all day, i'll let you know when i'm free again, though" i turned him down softly.

"it's cool, but don't be jealous when you see me out." jack brags.

"trust me. i don't." i clarify and earn a stink face from jack.

"you couldn't even pretend," he sighs.
