Dom sighed and took a minute to think what he was gonna say to her. "I… just feel.. Out of place… I moved house… and i don't know why i moved .. my old flat was perfect for me ..it was small and i felt fine there" he explained not thinking ange would understand
"Your home sick…" she said thinking she hit the nail on the head but dom didn't think so he wasn't far from his old flat and still lived in the same town just the apartment was bigger.. It had the kitchen and living room connected and two bedrooms ? why did he buy a flat with two bedrooms it wasn't needed he lived by himself
"No ...it's not that .. it's when you come home from work and it's just ….. Silent and its lonely" he said finally telling ange what was truly wrong
"There's many things you can do to make it less quiet and lonely" she said trying to comfort him "you could get a roommate.. I mean you have two bedrooms or you could … get a dog ..? " she smiled
"Not allowed dogs in here anyway" he sighed thinking it was a good idea but they were not allowed pets in the apartments look ill be okay its just the new flat i'll get used to it i'll be okay..can we just paint ? " he said just accepting the fact that it a new place he's getting used to it and it will take time
Ange nodded "yeah sure… " she smiled respecting his wish and took a sip of her coffee "but come talk to me if you need to ..promise me that?"
"Yeah … i will" he mumbled as he stood up off the sofa and grabbed the pot of paint and two paint brushes giving one to ange and started to paint the walls
25th April 2020
Dom had many painting nights with ange and they finally finished decorating his bedroom the way he wanted it and the living room was coming together nicely and he had cheered up a bit more
9:30pm
Dom was led to bed unable to sleep; he was sat up on his phone scrolling through facebook. The apartment was silent and he hated it.. He was watching random videos on Facebook. They filled the room with noise and he felt better and it entertained him when he couldn't sleep.
Dom was currently watching a video about a little boy who was in foster care for 5 years and finally got adopted when he was 5 to two loving gay dads. It was videods like these that doms heard melted and couldn't control his emotions. There were short clips of the boy playing with his new family and looking so happy it warmed Dom and he felt a wash of happiness but the happiness was coming from a video of something that he wanted … but couldn't have … a family of his own
He was single.. And had been for a long time now to the point he had lost all hope of finding someone.
But the thought of having a little sprog running around. the thought of it cheered him up
But maybe … he could …
He grabbed his laptop and started searching adoption centres; he found one not too far from holby he read for hours about the rules and it didn't say anything about being a single so he went for it .. he didn't even consult anyone about the idea for advice or anything he went for it and start filling out the application to adopt a child.
He spent a good hour and a half writing and reading through his application ..and off he sent it .. he smiled and turned the laptop off and put it on the side and led down in the bed with a smile on his face he felt good and excited …
26th April
The next morning at work he turned up on the ward the happiest he's ever been .. and it was obvious to everyone
"Hello mr happy chappy" donna chirped at him as he came on the ward and sat down next to her at the nurses station
"Morning donna " he smiled and moved the spinny chair to the desk and looked through the patient notes
"What's got you in the good mood then" she asked
"Oh..no reason .. just got a good night sleep was all" he said sorting through the patient files
Donna was happy that he was but why all of a sudden was he so happy there had to be some reason …
Coming up- dom gets anxious as he hasn't heard back from the agency for a while he was second guessing himself of weather it was actually a good idea ... does he back out? Does he tell ange what he's done ??Or anyone ?
