Chapter Three


The next week passed kind of quickly. I had one mid-week date with Cleon, and I didn't have the heart to tell him about Dom. I ended up telling Yuki that I was in love with Dom on Friday, and she came over on Saturday to help me with my hair and stuff. I was wearing a strapless green mini-dress, (Yuki helped me, I would've gone out in sweatpants, left to my own devices) and she was doing my hair.
"You *really* should break things off with Cleon before things get to serious with Dom," she commented.
"Serious? With Dom? Please, Yuki, he's probaby just doing this to spite the hot chick that dumped him last week." Yuki laughed.
"Whatever,Kel. No go, before Dom thinks you ditched him!" I grinned at her and ran down the stairs, out the door, and almost got hit by that blue Maxima. Dom got out of the car and opened the door for me.
"I believe I can enter the vehicle myself, Dom." He laughed and closed the door.
"Fine. Open it yourself." I did.

We entered the party late, even though Dom insisted that that we weren't late, we were fashionably behind the arrival time. Whatever. Dom went off to find his friends and I was left standing there, humming along to Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy", even though I hate that song. I kind of wandered off to where a bunch of college girls were talking, and decided to eavesdrop.
"Oh God, who's that?"
"It's Dom. Isn't he hot??"
"Hell yeah! Too bad he's engaged." The first speaker looked shocked.
"Engaged! Damn! I mean, if he'd had a girlfriend, yeah I could still 'fool around' with him. But he's getting married!" The second girl nodded.
"And to some skater girl, no less."
"God, you think he would have better taste in women." All three nodded. I was getting pissed, to say the least. I walked over to the girls and smiled.
"Hello! I don't think I've met you before! I'm Keladry Mindelan, Dom's fiance, and you are?" All three of them looked at me. The first girl flipped me off gracefully, and motioned to the other two. They went to the bar. I snorted and went off to find Dom.

Well, Dom's friends were a dissapointment. They were all annoying jerks, except for one, and I don't even remember his name. I told Dom so as we left the party at midnight.
"You just have to get used to them. Their ok, once you get to know them." I shrugged. Dom decided that we should go for a walk. I agreed, and we walked. Pretty soon we ran into Owen, Faleron, Esmond, and Seaver out on their boards, listening to Linkin Park. Esmond stopped when he saw us and took a long drag of his Mountain Dew.
"Hey Kel, Dom!" The other guys stopped. Owen hopped off his board and gave me a look.
"Hello, umm, Esmond! Nice to see you!" Esmond nodded.
"Same here, Dom!" After exchanging greetings, talking about stupid shit, and asking them what the hell they were doing skating in the middle of the night, when I just had to open my big mouth.
"So, what are you and Dom doing out so late?" Owen asked slyly.
"We were at a party," I blurted out. They all grinned.
"What Kind of party?" Dom shrugged.
"We're engaged," he said calmly. At that moment, amid the shocked stares of the boys, I pulled Dom's arm.
"Come on,Dom,I think you've done a little too much underage drinking for one night." I smiled at them, and dragged Dom to the car.
