Vanessa
Dominic’s question catches me completely off guard and it takes me a moment to respond. Is he being serious right now?
Ladmit that there was that one time in the car when he told me to watch my tone after I talked back and I was actually a little intimidated, but right now, I find this completely ridiculous and I’m not going to stand for it.
I move closer to where he is but stand on the other side of the table. “Are you seriously asking me that question right now?” My tone is dripping with disbelief.
“Yes, so answer me.” He tilts his head. “Where were you?”
I can’t help but scoff right now. “I don’t remember ever questioning your whereabouts for as long as I’ve known you.”
“It’s not my fault you’ve never asked.”
“As if you would actually tell me.”
“Stop avoiding the real question here. I called you several times but your phonewasoff. Where were you and who were you with?Wasit Frank?”
“What? Don’t be ridiculous.Whywould you even come to such a conclusion?”
“Then explain yourself to me.”He crosses his arms.
1 part my lips to respond but it takes me a while as I wonder why he mentioned Frank. Is it because of what happened at the hospital?
ot let this go on any further, I sigh deeply to compose myself. “Fine, if it really means that much to you. I went to see my father.”
To not let
His facial muscles relax a little bit. “Your father?”
“Yes, it’s as simple as that.” Without looking down
n at the small shopping bag in my hand, I take out the pink bear and hold it right on the side of my face. “I had something to get off my chest so I went with this.”
He clears his throat, drops his crossed arms and looks away. “Fine, then we’re done here.”
My tone is firm as I shake my head. “Let’s get something clear right now,we’re not supposed to meddle in each “No, we’re not done here.” My other’s private lives. That’s what we agreed on. I let you do as you please with Carmella because it’s none of my business. Starting now, you won’t questionmywhereabouts.”
sly pokes his cheek as he scoffs at me without facing me.

Certain I’ve made myself clear, I head to the elevator, my steps a little rushed. I guess this ridiculous confrontation really got to me.
“Walt,” he says!
says from behind me, his voice commanding
I stop in my tracks and look over my shoulder. “Do you have something more to say?”
“Why do you think I told you to wait?”
There he goes, being rude to me just because he lost the argument.
“Fine, what is it?” I sigh.
Chapter 30
“My family wants us over for dinner tonight. Sophie will be there, too.”
Dominic’s sister is usually so busy that knowing she’ll be there brightens my mood. I even speak to myself but I’m a little too loud.
“I’m glad I get to spend some time with her, I wonder how she managed to find some free time from her busy schedule:
“How the fuck should I know?” He shrugs.
I roll my eyes at him. “I wasn’t asking you.”
“Whatever, we leave at 6 p.m. so be ready by then.”
Dominic
It’s almost time to leave and I’m all dressed up in my new suit. As I stand in front of my mirror to put on my necktie, I fail a few times and sigh in frustration, and I know it has nothing to do with the necktie itself. I can’t stop thinking about what happened with Vanessa earlier.
Now she thinks I’m questioning her whereabouts because I want her all to myself. That’s absolutely not true. I just wouldn’t want her to end up with Frank. But now that I think about it, I shouldn’t have gone that far. Why didn’t I just call him when I arrived here and didn’t find her?
Despite my actions, she was right about one thing we had agreed to never meddleineach other’s private lives. She’s free to do as she wants, just like me. That’s why I’ll remind myself of that from now on
Finally getting it right with my necktie, I head to her bedroom door and speak to her from there.
“It’s almost 6 p.m. so you better be ready to go.”
“Uh….could you please just give me two more minutes?*
I scoff as I take a step back. I’m not even surprised that she’s not ready.
“Fine, but only two minutes.”
While Iwaitfor her in the hallway, I keep wondering what kind of shoes she’ll have on. They better be something that won’t lead to me carrying her back home tonight. I refuse to do that again.
When her bedroom door finally opens, I turn around to face her as she approaches me and I subtly bite my lip. She’s in a long peach dress that’s tight in all the right places and accentuates her bust, narrow waist and wide hips. She doesn’t even notice me staring because she’s rummaging through her handbag
As soon as she looks up at me, I glance at her feet. She’s in some low block heels, which should be just fine.
“You better not feel any discomfort in these heels,” I warn her.
“I won’t. Let’s just go.”
Once we’re in theelevator, I stand right behind her, my eyes glued to my phone screen as I share dirty messages with my babe
Just then, Vanessa flips her hair a little too hard and it whips my jaw, making me look up from my phone with irritation. Though my intention is to give her a warning and that she should be careful with it, words escape me when watch her throw her head back as she runs her fingers through her hair. It’s such a pleasant sight to see.
As my eyes travel down the length of her hair, they get stuck on her lower half and once again, I subtly bite my lip. No matter how hard I try, I

can’t stop looking at her ass, whichlooksso curvy and round in her dress.
Wait, what am I doing? This isn’t right. She means nothing to me, which is why I shouldn’t be staring too much. Actually, I shouldn’t be staring
at all, but how could I not do that when she’s right here and her figure’s so accentuated?
The moment the elevator opens, I take the lead so I don’t have to keep looking at her curves.
As the ride to my parent’s home begins,we’re both on the same seat but there’s a wide space between us.
The silence lingers on for as long as I have nothing to say to her.
But just then, she speaks first.
“Dominic?”
“What is it?” My tone is laced with irritation.
“There’s something important I need to tell you before we arrive.”
