Chapter 3: Happiness turn to Difficulties…
Venice Park. A park known for its beautiful landscape, lakes, and community herb gardens and fruit trees. A perfect place to meet people and a great romantic spot. That's why I am thrilled about visiting Dominic! All night, all I could think about was Dominic and those emerald eyes of his. I walked the paved sidewalk on my way there, and decided to call his number. I pick up my iPhone and selected 'Dominic'. In a minute, Dominic answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Dominic. It's me, Morgan."
"Hey."
"So where are you? And who am I looking for?" I giggled at the way I asked.
"At the bench near the cherry blossom trees, look for a dark brunette man, wearing a black buttoned shirt, jeans, and black boots."
"Thanks. I wanted to see you. So….."
"Oh there you are… look behind you."
I did so and smiled. I saw Dominic sitting on the grey bench near the trail of cherry blossoms, still having his phone to his ear. The once fancy-pants man became the casual man wearing mostly black. His shirt, which had the very top part of his chest showing, and his boots were black, while his jeans were dark blue. He took a good look at me and gave me a great big, white grin. I hung up my cell and walked over to the sweet man, who hung up his phone as well.
"No longer Mr. Fancypants, huh?" I told him. He shrugged, "I figured I could be casual here." I smiled even more. "Would you like a seat?" "Oh thanks." I said and I sat next to him, blushing a little. Before I could try to bring conversation, Dominic started, "So how long have you worked at Tsunami? It seems like the other customers know you well." "Oh they're the regulars. I have been working there for about 2 years now." "Really?" "Yeah." After that, it got comfortable talking to Dominic. During our conversation, we decided to walk along the cherry blossom trail. Then a question Dominic asked that I wanted to ask him, "I know we can't really ask this to woman, but I want to know, how old are you?" I didn't mind him asking. I answered, "21. How about you?" "28." Another fallback on a relationship, social-wise. He was 7 years older than me' since his birthday's in 3 weeks and mine is coming up in 4. "I see." After that, we just kept walking and talking, our relationship growing in the process. And then after that, we decided to meet up at 11 and do the same thing again.
It has been 2 weeks since I first met up with Dominic and our friendship has been growing drastically, along with my love for him. As I got to know him more and more, I just fell more for him. It turned out He has a sister who got married last year and is gonna have her first baby in 4 months. He's gonna be an uncle! He told me that he and his sister have been living with their uncle on their mother's side from ages 12- 18 for him and ages 2- 22 for his sister. They are 4 years apart and he said his sister's like his best friend. He loves his family, and I admired that.
One day, I had a call from Grace during our conversation, this time at my house. I picked up the phone realizing it was Grace.
"Sorry Dominic, It's Grace."
"Don't worry, take your time."
"Hello?"
"Morgan!"
"Hey Grace, what's up?"
As I listened to Grace, My smile turned into a frown. Dominic looked at me with concern. "Grace… I-…But… You know I stopped completely. … Fine. I'll do it. Bye." Click.
"What is it?" Dominic asked. "She wants me to take her place in the International contest. In representation of Strata." Grace put me back into the world of fashion, after gone from it for 2 years. I only had one word in my mind …. Fuck
