I don't own characters blah blah blah.
Sorry for the long wait. I didn't mean for it to be so long but I sort of hit a rut and didn't quite know what to put in the next chapter. I figured it out though!
He wasn't really avoiding her. Just because she hadn't run into him for a few days didn't mean anything. It certainly didn't mean he was avoiding her. No way.
But even still, a nasty little voice brought up nasty little ideas in the back of her mind when each day passed and she hadn't "run into" Dom.
She walked with her head in the clouds (very unlike her) to her rooms. Huffing and sighing she turned the last corner. She was so consumed in thoughts (of Dom) that she didn't even notice Dom himself standing at her door until she finally ran into him; literally.
He reached out and grabbed her arms at the elbows to steady her, "Hey! Sorry about that, didn't mean to tackle you." Kel mumbled.
"It's okay. You weren't paying attention it not really your fault," He paused and cleared his throat, "I want to talk to you if you have a moment." He said formally which to Kel's surprise annoyed her. Annoyance aside she nodded and opened her door. She figured he would pick the chair on the opposite side of the room, under the circumstances, but he sat down on the bed next to where she had settled. Looking at his face she waited patiently for him to start talking.
He sighed and looked away from the hole his eyes were burning in his leg and gazed at her face. He looked very sorry for something.
"I was wrong." He dragged out the last word. "I hurt you and I know that. I've decided, in the time I spent avoiding you," He grinned, "That if you don't care about what people will say then neither do I." He picked up her hand and pressed it to his face. "Now that I've got you where I want you I'm not ready to let you go. I would be willing to fight anyone who challenged the reasons we're together."
She could feel a tingling in the back of her throat that meant tears to come so she coughed. "Really?" She wanted it to sound inquisitive and detached but it sounded hopeful and was filled with longing.
He laughed and looked down. "Yeah, because that's how much I love you."
As the first tears slipped down her face she threw her arms around his neck and laughed. Doms arms circled her torso and held her tight. She liked the way he held her; as if he was about to lose her. It was so good to be cherished so wholly.
He pulled her away and kissed her lips. Then he was up abruptly pulling her with him.
"I'm taking you to dinner tonight!" He looked like a little kid when he said it, "Wear something beautiful and meet me later tonight."
She laughed and said she would. Dom told her the time and place and left her to her very happy thoughts.
Omg the shortness continues! The next chapter will be rally good though. Any guesses what's going to happen at the dinner??? I know, but I'm not telling.
Please Review! I may get discouraged and stop writing!
