Chapter One:
-Mom… mom, I'm fine seriously… mom there's nothing to worry about.
The doors open and Dom comes in. I smile at him as he kisses me on the cheek.
-Mom... I`m hanging up on you alright….the fuck I'm not….. Mom you are starting to piss me off…. alright I'm hanging up…. Bye mom.
I heard Dom laughing in the background. I turn around.
-what's the funny thing you asshole?
- She's a pain in the ass sometimes- he told me while he took out his wife-beater.
-Tell me something I don't know- I stand up and hug him from behind-You know today is Travis birthday don't you? - I kiss his shoulder.
-How can I forget your ex-boyfriend birthday? - He told me with an ironic smile. He moved out of my arms and get to the bathroom.
-He's one of my best friends – I said impatiently- You really have to move on with the situation it's been almost three years since I dated him - I started to put some black skinny jeans- And it was before we met, you have no right to be mad-
- Have I no right to be mad? Are you fucking kidding me, Leticia? I'm your boyfriend- he starts to raise his voice by this point- And I'm supposed to be alright with the fact that you still go out with your ex-boyfriend … where the hell do you think you are going? - I look at him, he has a towel around his waist, I couldn't stop looking at his muscles he is so fucking hot and the bastard knew it-hum?-
-What?-
He looked at me like I was stupid- Where the hell are you going? - He said through his teeth.
-I told you, is Travis birthday and we're having a BBQ at Alex's bar- I put a white crop top above my head, I saw him trying to continue the discussion but I'm not really in the mood for a fight.- I m going and I m not asking your permission alright? End of the discussion- I said sitting up on the bed to put my black boots on.
-Whatever- he turned around entering the bathroom and close the door behind him.
-God, he must be in his period- I thought. I stand up and look myself in the mirror; I put my earrings on, grab my car keys and go downstairs. Leon, Jesse, and Vince were playing some video game in the living-room; I go to the kitchen and found Mia reading one of her college books.
- Are you ready to go chica? - She looked up and smile
- I was born ready- she closed her book as she stands up and grabs her jacket- What took u so long?-
-Dominic- I said simply.
- Travis subject again? - She ask
-Yep- as we made our way outside she shouted goodbye to the guys- he will never be over it-
-I'm not defending him ….but he does have a point you know?-we got in the car- Travis is your ex-boyfriend and behind all the scenes Dominic could have done to you he is just hiding the fact that he is afraid of losing you because of Travis.
-You guys keep saying it and don't get it, Travis is my ex, and he is my past… I do not have feelings for him anymore that's what Dominic doesn't understand- I said while we walk towards the bar- he doesn't seem to trust me if he thinks I will go back to Travis' arms- I stopped- I really loved Travis, I did and I still do but no in that way anymore ….I mean I still truly care about him because he was a really important person on my life and now he is like one of my best friends because we know everything about each other and I know he will be there for me if I ever need him. But it just a fraternal love that's what Dom needs to understand-
-I don't think he feels the same way Let, the way he looks at you….he's still in love with you and he doesn't even bother on hiding it tha…-
-Mia I really had enough with your brother for you to start with this shit too so please let's just drop the subject- I interrupted her.
We reach the door and as I open it I could hear all the screaming from the inside. There they are…my seven dwarfs; they were all around the small table. At the head it was Travis, at his left was Sasha one of the four girls of our little squad, she is the typical brat but she can kick your ass if you bother her, I like her; next to her is Jacob, Travis best friend, he is one of the most loyal persons I had ever meet. In front of him was Lola, my childhood oldest friend, I could trust her my life and I know she wouldn't let me down; at her right is my brother in law, Agustin, we grew up together in the Dominican Republic and when I decided to came to the united states he and Lola were right behind me, the three of us are like a little family we were always together. Then there are Kara and Diego my two cousins, when I got to the United States I moved in with them and my aunt Marisol, they are as crazy as I am… I think is a family thing I love them.
-HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAY!- Mia screamed while she runs to hug Travis.
I could hear him bothering her on how she let everyone on the room deaf. I walk towards him smiling.
-Happy birthday you idiot- I said while we hug, he laughs.
-Don't give me so much love or you will suffocate me - he told me, I laugh.
-There she is my personal slut…... I was needing someone to give me a blowjob- I heard Agustin screamed to me. I laugh and sit down next to him while I kiss his bald head.
We talk and drink all night like we always do. By the time we have to head home Mia was completely drunk. As I drive us home she wouldn't stop talking about how much she likes this guy she meets a couple of weeks ago, I think his name was Brian or something with B. When we reach home the sun was starting to go up, as I took us inside the house I almost had a heart attack when I saw Dominic sitting in the coach.
-You scared the shit out of me- I said while I catch my breath. He didn't say a thing; he just stood up and took Mia out of my arms so he could carry her upstairs to her room. I was right behind him but instead, I head towards Dom's and my room. I started to undress and when I was about to get in bed Dom enters the room and look at me with his 'I'm mad' face.
- What? - I asked.
- We didn't finish our talk before… I'm not okay with the fact that you still go out with…- I interrupted him.
- Dom please, I'm tired and I really can use some sleep so please, please let's talk tomorrow- I beg.
He looked at me and I think he saw how tired I was on my face because he only nodded. As we got in bed I heard him sigh, I kissed his shoulder and he turned around to look at me, he watches me for about a minute until he spoke.
-I love you- he told me with a sad tone.
-I know- I smiled.
We lay back in each other's arms as we let sleep consume us. Tomorrow is going to be a really long day.
