The home was deafeningly quiet, so I thought Dominic had gone wherever he wanted to go. Then, a sheet of paper taped to my bedroom door escaped my notice. What the hell is going on here? After viewing my daily agenda, I cursed aloud. I kicked a nearby trash bin and later regretted my rash action when I had to clean it up.
Dominic tried to make me pay for something I couldn’t control. It was unjust, and he was obnoxious! Keith and I had planned to eat dinner together, but he had to go somewhere, so I waited for Dominic instead.
I waited up till midnight in the living room, but he didn’t come home. I waited till one o’clock, and when he didn’t appear, I gave up and went to my room. It was late, and I needed to sleep. However, I could see his face when I closed my eyes, and I couldn’t help but be concerned about him. What is the reason for this? I tossed and turned in my bed as if waiting for him to get home safely.
But, where’s Dominic?
My eyes felt heavy as I forced myself to stay awake, and it was around four a. m. when I heard his car outside my bedroom, and later, I heard him curse like a sailor. So what exactly is his problem? Anyway, since he was already at home, I closed my eyes and settled down for the night.
A loud bang on the door jolted me awake a few minutes later. I leaped from my bed and walked over to the door to investigate. Dominic walked in without being asked when I opened the door.
“Hey, what are you doing? ” I asked after he settled down on my bed as if he owned it.
Dominic didn’t respond, and he snored loudly a few moments later. I had no choice but to leave after he fell asleep on my bed. I considered sleeping on the sofa in the living room, but it didn’t seem comfortable, so I went upstairs and slept in his room, which had a much larger bed. As I slept in his soft and comfy bed, I considered his inebriation a godsend in disguise.
Well, he could be completely inebriated every night, and I wouldn’t mind sleeping in his bed. So I went to sleep after turning on the air conditioner and wrapping myself in the soft comforter.
I wasn’t sure what time it was, but I awoke with a heavyweight on my thighs. I felt like my eyes were full of cobwebs when I opened them, and I couldn’t see well. When I saw Dominic alongside me, one of his legs was on my thighs; I massaged it with my fingers and yelled.
Dominic tripped and fell to the floor while attempting to get up. “Marian?” What brings you here? ” He was startled and surprised to see me in his room, and he had the audacity to ask after he slept in my bed the night before.
“Did you think I liked being here?” I clenched my fists and wanted to strike his face. But, I didn’t have an option after you slept in my room! ” As I approached the door, I attempted to relax.
Dominic tried to stop me from going by, saying, “Marian, stay,” but I ignored him and walked towards the stairwell.
When someone knocked on the door, I was preparing the table for lunch. “I’m on my way!” I yelled from the kitchen table. Keith was the one who knocked, and I allowed him in.
“Hello, how are you doing today?” He inquired, but it was meaningless to respond, given my unkempt hair and wrinkled clothes. “I apologize for yesterday. “I had to be there because something came up at work,” he explained.
“It’s fine,” I assured him. “Anyway, it’s not a huge problem; we can still eat dinner at another time.”
“Can you tell me where your boss is? Still sleeping?” When Keith asked about Dominic, I felt bad about lying to him. So I just nodded and remained silent.
“Excuse my etiquette, coffee or tea?”
“Don’t worry about it. Keith replied, “I just came here to see how you’re doing.”
He merely came to see how I was doing! Wasn’t that lovely?
Oh, I wanted to kiss him right then and there, or maybe Keith could read my mind because he lowered his head to mine. But, instead, I tried to push him away with both hands on his chest since it was too soon.
When Dominic arrived and his fist impacted on Keith’s jaw, Keith’s lips had barely brushed mine! I shouted in terror at the carnage in front of me and attempted to assist Keith in standing up and getting away from Dominic.
I told him, “I can’t forgive you for doing this.”
I felt bad for Keith when Dominic turned him into a punching bag, so I walked up to his car with him. Dominic didn’t try to stop me from leaving his house, but he did glance at us with his customary scowling expression.
“Are you going to be okay?” I inquired of Keith as to when he was ready to depart.
“Don’t be concerned. “This is just a scratch,” he claimed, but I saw him cringe in pain as soon as the engine started.
I reminded him to drive carefully.
I just remained in the driveway after Keith had left, staring at Dominic’s house. The location was fantastic, but the proprietor was a devil! I suppose I should tell him what’s on my mind.
I marched towards the main door, pushing it open, with a renewed sense of desire and resolve to chastise him. It was, however, bolted! I kept pounding until Dominic answered the door for me.
“How dare you!” I chastised him for locking the door while I was still outside.
“Are you serious, Marian?” What happened after you followed him up to his car? Is it true that you’re having an affair with him? Is there anything going on between you and Keith? ”
“So what?” I replied, biting my bottom lip and glared at him.
“Did you do it with him?” He enquired vehemently.
“Perhaps,” I responded, and he snatched me up and kissed me. It was excruciatingly painful and bloody. Then, before I could wallop him, I scowled at him for being impolite. “Dom, you are a disgrace to your family”!
Dominic clenched his teeth and gripped my face as he closed the distance between us. I didn’t cower in front of him because of the way he crushed his hand into my cheeks.
“Did you say something?”
“I apologize; I didn’t intend it in that way,” I muttered this as I tried to flee from him, but Dom grabbed one of my arms and stopped me. “Say it once more! Declare it!” He challenged me to repeat my charge that he was a disgrace to his family.
I was enraged and yelled at him, and then I shouted, “I apologized!”
“Oh my God, that attitude of yours is incredible!” He yelled at me, then grabbed my body off the ground, and before I knew it, we were on our way to his harem of ladies. When he scooped me up like a weightless object, I let out a loud gasp! “Right now, put me down!” I wiggled my legs to express my displeasure with being carried about like a sack of potatoes. “Dom, right now, put me down!”
I repeated myself, but Dom ignored me and continued going. “Can you tell me where you’re taking me?”
After he kicked the door to his room and dumped me in the middle of his bed, I guessed correctly!
Dominic tugged at his hair as he struggled to find nicer words to say to me! Okay, so I put his patience to the test, and he couldn’t take it anymore!
“Why do you constantly interfere in my private life? What do you stand to gain if I maintain a large number of ladies here? Why do you care so much that you’re willing to cause a ruckus there? “Why?”
Dom was, without a doubt, correct. I had no business interfering with his relationship. I tried everything I could to persuade the women to go, but they refused. So, what’s in it for me? I wouldn’t benefit from it at all!
However, I was perplexed as to why he brought up an incident that occurred several weeks earlier. We were debating whether or not I had an affair with Keith when he moved the subject to his mistresses.
“I apologize for forgetting my place, Dom. I’m only your maid, and I’m sorry if I’m intruding on your affairs.”
“Perhaps you’re envious?” He probably couldn’t think of anything that would make me want to be cruel to his women. But, then, he added, “Do you like me?” I blinked many times before staring at Dom as if he’d gone insane.
“Are you insane? Why should I care about you?” Maybe he’d never been insulted before, and I was the one who did it!
“Why not? I’m better than Keith, who’s probably with someone else right now!”
“No, he won’t do it to me, Dom,” I replied, even though Keith and I never have that kind of relationship.
“Are you certain? Is there any indication that he adores you? Marian, tell me.” He inquired. “Did he whisper beautiful nothings in your ear as you were making love? Did he kiss you so passionately that you demanded to be fucked straight away? Did he call your name as you reached the pinnacle of orgasm? Did he do all those things to you?”
Every word that came out of his mouth was pure wickedness, and his comments were hurtful to me! I raised my hand and slapped him for the second time without thinking. “How dare you!” I exclaimed, but Dom quickly lowered his head and captured my mouth.
