"Dominic don't call you sister names and Bella stop calling him Nicky its nick if you must choose a nickname for him.Anyways so glad your back you mother and i have business to attend to so we will be off, go rest it has been a long journey."
Wow rude much, it was like i wasn't even here. Both his parents self but his sister was still staring at me, I pushed my glasses up onto my face and looked her dead in the eye, she stepped back a bit then disappeared along with her parents. Good riddance, Dominic took me by the hand and led me up the many stairs then to the first room on the right. On the door it said 'D-M' i'm guessing this is where i sleep. When I opened the door, it looked like heaven, my version of course,the room felt so light and breezy. There were these baby blue sheer baby blue curtains that matched the ones attached to the bed. Everything in this room matched perfectly. As soon as i layed down on the bed I was ready to sleep. Dominic went into the bathroom and took a shower, I began resetting my phone, setting up my gadgets and packing in my clothes, there was one side of the closet labeled Mali and I filled it with space to space, I set up my violin stand and set my voting against the wall.
He came out in a green shirt and blue sweatpants. I went into the bathroom right after him to find a little slice of an oasis, there was a Jacuzzi right next to the shower. I was tempted but sleep got the better of me, I took a hot shower to relax my bones , put on a long sleeve shirt with some black tights and slid right into bed. Oh sleep i have missed you. Just as I was drifting off to dream land I felt the bed bounce, my eyes flew open, it was Dominic on his stomach readying a book, I guess I'm going to have to get used to sleeping in a bed with someone else. Come to think of it we haven't even talked much, oh well i'll deal with that after i get some well needed sleep.
When i woke up from my ten hour nap it was three in the morning, the next day. I was being cuddled, WHO WAS IN MY BED!!!?? When i look up it was Dominic, oh right i forgot we sleep in the same bed. I seriously need to remember these things. Despite his cold and unfeeling nature he is quite warm, and by warm I mean body heat. It's like I'm being hugged by a bear. I begin to drift off into sleep when I realize that today is something special. I don't remember what but it's important. When i roll over and reach for my phone he growls, i can't be your teddy bear forever, i need my phone like i need water. I wiggled out of his warm embrace and snatched my phone off of the night stand. I turned it on and remembered my glasses. I put them on and checked my messages. Oh i got three from my brother.
'dude today is valentine's day do something special. btw Jenny said she slipped a few things into your suitcase to help you along , i don't know what she put.'
I knew there was something important I had to do. I went through all my suit cases one more time and found a short robe that would stop right above my knees, a shaving kit wtf, and......edible underwear. SWEET MOTHER OF MERCY what was she thinking. That freak got issues, i don't even want to think of the things she talked my brother into, my poor naive brother.
"Um Mali who is going to wear those."
FUCK! Dominic was standing behind me and was looking at the package in my hand. Now how am i going to explain this? SHIT.
"My brother's wife put these in there without my knowledge; they weren't my idea."
"But still hypothetically who would wear those."
"My freak of a sister in law. Also for your information these are mediums which would be too big for me and I'm guessing too small for you, so no one."
" I believe you made me quite uncomfortable the short time I was there but ok then, I'm going back to bed and pretending this never happened."
"Please do."
"Yup"
Mental note: STRANGLE JENNY the next time you see her.
How embarrassing, I tossed the underwear but grabbed everything else,,at least he didn't see those. I went into the bathroom and took a shower then shaved oddly it only took me ten minutes. After my shower I slipped back into bed. I felt his arm wrap around my waist and pull me in close.
"Is there a chance you are wearing edible underwear."
"I thought we were going to pretend that never happened."
"I know but I have warmed to the idea of you wearing them."
"Never gonna happen."
"I know, do you mind if i touch you?"
"What do you mean, you are touching me, I'm in your arms."
He chuckled a bit then whispered into my ear.
"I meant in intimate places genius."
😐 wow didn't see that coming i didn't take him as the flirting type, well i might as well get used to it as well.
"Sure."
I rolled over so I was now facing him. He gave me a comforting smile then snaked his hand under my shirt. He began pinching my nipples which at first felt painful but one began to feel good, I relaxed a bit and closed my eyes. Out o f no wear i felt his warm palm brush over my butt causing me to jolt, He stopped touching me and pulled me in for a kiss, it was soft, gentle and quick. He leaned closer and whispered into my ear.
"No worries, I always save the best for last."
"Well guess i will be wearing that robe tonight, at least i didnt shave my legs for nothing hm i wonder what else i could do. Hm i wonder what her favorite fruit is. I hope it's strawberries or blueberries, because whatever it is , I'm dipping it in chocolate. Jenny just tied herself to the bed naked and had my brother into her, idiot. When i woke up i realized all i had been thinking about was valentine's day.When i heard an alarm for five am i confused, who wakes up at five am after just traveling a long distance.
The answer is Dominic, he groaned and hugged me tighter.
"Can't breathe, wake up. i will tickle you, until you cant breath too."
He opened his eyes and looked at me confused, he loosened his grip and got up.I took a deep breath and began my day. I put on my glasses, sat up in the bed and opened my planning app. I love my tablet, it gets me, the first thing that popped up was Happy valentines day Mali. Happy valentine day Tabatha. Yes i named my tablet, GET OVER IT. But there is one problem in my planning process, I NEED TO KNOW HIS SCHEDULE so i can plan around it. When he came out of the bathroom with steam coming off of his shoulders, I forgot what I was doing for a second. I wonder if he remembers.
"Um by any chance do you remember my plans today."
"Well before you were enjoying the view you were talking to your tablet."
"Oh, right. What is your schedule today?"
"What do you ask?"
"I am not being a control freak, I am planning."
"Planning what?"
"You will find out.By the way any food allergies?"
"Ok now you have got my attention, let me see that tablet."
"No nobody touched Tabatha!"
"Tabatha??!!"
"Leave Me alone and tell me your schedule and allergies."
He had a playful grin on his face and crossed his hands over his chest. He chuckled, pulled on some pants then turned back to me.
"You wouldn't dare."
"Let me see the tablet."
"No!"
"So be it."
He pounced on me like a lion on a chipmunk. I was the unfortunate chipmunk, I dove over the side of the bed and hid the tablet underneath while he tried to hold me down. He isn't laying a finger on my baby,
"Why won't you let me see?"
"Because it's a surprise now."
"Fine, only because i like surprises."
"Good."
I grabbed my tablet and re positioned myself in the bed. I pushed my glasses back on my face and reopened the app.
"Now please tell me your schedule and allergies for the third time."
"Fine. From 6-12 I will be in a meeting with my father and uncle, from 12-1 lunch, from 1-3 I will be in my office next door, then dinner, and dessert. I don't have any allergies."
"How about favorite fruits."
"Pineapple."
"Ok now you can go on, i will get to work."
"On what exactly."
"That is between Tabatha and i, enjoy your six hour long meeting."
"I won't."
"Oh by the way skip dessert."
"Why would i do that."
"Trust me, skip dessert."
"Ok then."
As soon as he left i changed out of my pajamas into some black tights and red turtleneck. I grabbed my customized cooking apron and threw it over my arm. I grabbed my tablet, phone, and slipped into my house shoes. I put on my locket , his it in my shirt and went out the door. Ok Tabatha, it's just me and you today , let's try and find the kitchen. After walking around for nearly half an hour I finally found the kitchen. I heard a woman humming and when I saw her, I nearly cried. She turned around and looked concerned.
"Oh my child, you look like you've seen a ghost."
I have, she looks exactly like my grandmother except with green eyes, she even has the strong Irish accent. No i can't go through this again, i can't, i barely survived her death. As the woman came closer I took a step back, then I heard a voice.
Oi i didn't raise a coward now did i, i taught you to face things head on and prepare for impact so get your balls in order my little beasty.
Grandma is right, she didn't raise a coward. I straightened up and took the bull by the horns.
"Oh excuse my manners, hello my name is Mali Mink and you just resembled someone who was very close to me, that passed recently."
"Oh my word, i'm sorry for your loss."
"It's ok, I just got a slap from the past, thats all."
"Oh well I hope we can be friends, my name is Agatha Moroe , I must say Nick does have good taste. Anyhow, how may I help you on this fine morning."
"I was just wondering if you had any pineapples , strawberries and milk chocolate."
"It's Valentine's day, of course, help yourself."
"Thank you."
"It's nice to have someone else cooking in the kitchen."
"Yeah."
I don't know how i'm going to survive, i want to hug her and tell her how much i miss her but,she isnt my grandmother, she is just a woman that looks, sounds, talks and smells like her. Their names are even similar, Agatha, Angela, what am i to do with this information. I pushed those thoughts aside and got to work, she showed me where everything was and we hummed to 'I'm in heaven', just like I used to when she was alive. When i was done i had tiny heart shaped pineapple slices covered in chocolate sitting in the middle of flower shaped pineapple slices, drizzled with chocolate. For me I had strawberries dipped in chocolate. In the end I had a beautiful fruit platter. Agatha came over and clapped in approval.
"My My you are just a little beast in the kitchen aren't you."
That's it, im done, i placed my hand on my chest where the locket lies, took a deep breath and hugged the woman. I don't care if she isn't my grandmother, she might as well be, her jet black hair pulled back into a bun by ribbons, her small stature and her taste in music, and now she calls me a little beast. I don't care as I hug her. I smell peaches and cinnamon, just like grandma.
"There,we have all lost someone, now let's get these in the fridge."
"Ok"
I push the platter in the fridge and we sit and talk all day. It was like I got back here, if i knew I had to fly halfway around the world I would have done it a million times just to hear from him again. When the alarm went off on Tabatha i hugged her goodbye and went upstairs.Time flew by quickly, it was already five, i grabbed an apple and went back to the room, i hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch, i spent the entire day in the kitchen. I took off my apron, put it back in the closet, kicked off my shoes, checked the time once again, took off my necklace, and glasses, then hopped into the shower. When I was in there I realized just how nervous I was about tonight. When I came out my phone was ringing. I answered it to find out it was Dominic, how did he get my number, no matter if his parents were going out for valentines and wouldn't be home for a week. That meant his meeting was cut short and he would be coming back to the room in twenty minutes. Oh ok twenty minutes. Wait TWENTY MINUTES??!!
That is not enough time, I jumped out of my towel, put on my glasses, slipped into the black silky robe. SHIT i left the rose petals in the kitchen. Ok breath, the parents have already left the house, it's only Dominic, his sister and Agatha. I pulled on my white robe over the black one, sprinted to the kitchen, grabbed the petals and waved goodbye to Agatha as she was laughing at me. When i reached back to the room, i checked the clock and i had ten minutes. I kicked off my shoes, took off the white robe, spread the petals and got the body oil, then I remembered I left the fruit in the kitchen. I huffed in annoyance, got back into the robe and went back to the kitchen, this time Agatha was at the door with the fruit in her hand still laughing her ass off.
I took the platter, thanked her and rushed back to the room. By the time I was back I was exhausted. I laid it on the petal filled bed and began oiling my body. When i was finally done I pooped. I slid the bolt of remaining petals under the bed and sat on the edge. I rolled onto my stomach and began checking off my list on Tabatha. Looks like i got everything done, wait no, i forgot to put in my contacts, but i can't sleep in them. Crap. Oh well I'm going to be blind the rest of the night. I set Tabatha down on the nightstand and took a few breaths. I heard the door open and Dominic stepped inside. I was overjoyed. He walked over to the bed and just began eating. Really serious, I'm right here. In the blink of an eye he ate the whole platter, even the strawberries.
Well ain't say i didn't cry but im done.
"Happy valentines day Mali."
"Happy valentines day."
He walked off into the bathroom and hopped into the shower. That mother fucker, how did he eat all that so fast? He didnt even look me in the eye when he said happy valentines day or notice the rose petals, all that effort gone to waste. HE has no idea how many times he got pricked trucking those.
Mental note: Never again try to do something special for valentines day, just make him chocolate covered fruit.
I rolled my eyes, brushed the petals off of the sheets and got under. I grabbed my tablet and wrote my conclusion in my planning app.
Conclusion: Absolute failure, he ate all the fruit, I'm peckish and he didn't even notice the rose petals or me for that face, never again.
I set my computer down , went over to my walk in closet and began picking out my night clothes and underwear. After I got dressed and tossed the rope back into my suitcase I went right back into bed. I rolled my eyes and got comfortable. He came out of the bathroom with steam coming off of his shoulders, this time i wasn't enjoying the view, infact i only glanced at him, i just couldn't wait for the lights to go out so i can get some sleep. After He was dressed I looked back over to him to find he was confused.
"What?"
"I didn't notice you were wearing your glasses."
"Are you so- you know what turns off the lights so I can go to bed."
"Ok"
This one, I can't deal with him right now.
