Be my light in the dark

fourteen

Shit. I don't know how this happened, but I am so late for work. I didn't hear the alarm and I already regret not staying at Dominic's house yesterday. At least he would wake up annoyed by the sound of my alarm.

I try to get ready as fast as I can, knowing that I will get to the studios with the shoots going on. I look at my phone when I get in my car, noticing I have miss calls from Anika, McG and Dom. And a bunch of texts. I ignore them all, driving as fast as I can to the studios.

Once I am there, I quickly go to my office to grab the things I will need for the day. At my desk, there's flowers. White roses, that make me relax a bit. No note this time, but now I know who the sender is. My boyfriend. My Dominic.

I run to the location they are shooting, trying to be as quiet as possible.

- Madelaine – I hear McG, behind me – where have you been? – I turn to face him.

- Sorry – God, I just wish I had a hole to hide – I don't know what happened... I fall asleep. It won't happen again.

- It's okay – he says, smiling – we were just worried, it's unusual of you.

- It really is – thank God no one is pissed off about this. I guess it's a good thing I was always on point the other days.

McG tells me what the plans for today are, making a resume of the morning reunion. I didn't miss much, since they were rehearsing a sword fighting scene we are shooting later today.

- It was about time – I smile when I hear Dom, turning my body to face him – what happened?

- I fall asleep, I didn't hear the alarm – now that the adrenaline is rushing off of my body, I start to feel a little too sleepy again – I don't know what's going on, but I've been sleeping too much lately.

- You are pregnant.

- Sure, touched by the heavenly spirits – he laughs – that's not funny, Dominic – he gets closer to me. Nobody, besides Emeraude and Royce, knows that we are dating. It has been only one month, and we are enjoying our moments together with as much peace as we can – you can't be playing with these things now. If Emeraude hears you...

- I know – he kisses my forehead – you need to rest – he looks at me – I bet you just fall asleep this morning, because you were working after getting out of my house – he cross his arms in front of his chest, knowing exactly that that it's true.

- I had to finish the big promo.

- Is it done?

- Yes – I open a big smile, making him laugh – thanks for the flowers.

- What flowers...?

- At my desk...

- I didn't put them there. I was going to bring tomorrow, but wait... you got flowers, that I didn't send you. Should I be worried?

- I don't think so... unless it's another big admirer and I will get confused.

- You wish – we hear McG calling Dom, starting to walk together to the shooting scene – you probably won't like what we are about to shoot.

- I know you're getting almost naked with some random girl all over you – we stop at his chair – don't forget that I also receive the scripts and I actually read them – he laughs, starting to take his clothes off – now this is something I like to see – I am staring at him... too much for the place where we are. But I can't believe I am actually dating this man and that I feel so in love with him.
