Dominic
I might’ve been avoiding to speak to Vanessa these past few days, but right now, fuck that. Ready to give her a piece of my mind the moment she opens the door, I clench my jaw and knock on it a few times.
But when she swings the door open, I can’t seem to say what’s on my mind right away. She’s obviously looking at me like she’s already irritated by my presence, but the look in her eyes is so piercing. She’s never looked at me like that before.
She’s also in an oversized t–shirt and only a towel wrapped around her waist to cover her bottom hall. It doesn’t seem like she was taking a shower or anything
“What do you want?” she harshly says to me once again, twisting her facial muscles a little.
just a few minutes ago.
Her attitude instantly reminds me of what I intended to say to her the first time I called out her name ju
Stepping forward, I say, “First of all, watch that tone with me.”
“Ugh!” she says while touching her lower abdomen, “Fine, what do you want?”
“Are you being for real? I just talked to you about this.”
“Then say wh
say what you’re here for,” she groans, dragging her feet to the bed while hunched over.
I can’t help but wonder what’s up with her, not that it’s any of my business.
“Your dad called. He said your phone’s been off. I tried to call you as well and I couldn’t get through to you, so why is it off?”
She slowly sits down on the bed and says, “I turned it off.”” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Why did you turn it off?”
“Because I wanted to.”
“But why? That’s what I want to know.”
“Now’s not a good time.” She grits her teeth.
“Well, turn it on and call him because he’s obviously going to start calling me again and I don’t want that.”
“Fine.” She groans louder and throws her head back.
“Is everything okay with you?”
“I got my period today..
“That’s it?” I scoff. “Considering how dramatic you’re being right now, I thought something really bad happened.”
“Get out.” She glares at me with her head tilted.
“Did you seriously just say that to me in my own house?”
“Yes, I said get out, now.”

Not only does she seem more irritated, but also offended. Maybe I shouldn’t have said that. I’ve really forgotten how these things work since Carmella hasn’t had her period in a long time due to the birth control that we use.
“Just turn on your phone and call your father.”
“Anything else?” She hunches over even more, trying so hard not to groan too loudly.
“I’m going out later tonight to celebrate with Frank, He’s organized a party. We were supposed to go together for appearances, but it’s obviously not happening.”
“I don’t want to go there anyway. I prefer staying here. Is there anything else?” She shuts her eyes.
No.
“Close the door behind you.”
“You really need to tone it down on your fucking attitude.”
“I don’t need you here right now so please just go.”
She drops down on the bed, brings her legs up and rolls over, then lays down on her stomach and places her face right in the pillow, her groans muffled by it.
I start to walk out of the bedroom, but find myself constantly looking back at her. It seems like it hurts a lot.
“Why are you still here?” she says to me.
“Honestly, I don’t even know.”
After I close the door, one of the butlers approaches from the other side of the hallway with a tray of snacks. I don’t even bother to ask because I know they’re for her.
While I’m gone, everyone here will take care of her. She’s not my problem.
It’s been an hour since I arrived at Carmella’s apartment, but I can’t stop thinking about Vanessa. I know I shouldn’t, but I am.
It’s not because of what happened that night, or maybe it is, but it’s also because of the state that I left her in back home. I’m not saying I feel bad for her. I’ve just never seen her so irritated and miserable.
“Babe,” Carmella says, straddling me while I’m on the bed. “You’ve been here for quite some time now and you don’t seem too happy. Is something wrong?”
“Everything’s fine.”
“I know you
you. What is it?”
“Nothing, Come here.”
We break into a passionate kiss and I’m instantly aroused by her. I drop her on the bed and she wraps her legs around my waist.
As soon as I start touching her thighs and breasts, Vanessa comes to mind when I was on top of her, and it instantly makes me stop touching Carmella. I pull away from her lips and look down at her while breathing hard.

“What happened?” she asks.
“It’s nothing.”
“Then don’t stop.”
She bites her lip and holds onto my shoulder to pull me down.

I start kissing and touching her again, but just like before, Vanessa comes to mind. What the hell is wrong with me? Now’s not the time to be thinking about her.
Shutting her out once again, I focus on Carmella.
However, I’m a lit
frustrated and I feel it in the way that I’m fucking her.
After we finally take a break, she rests her head on my sweaty chest, looking up at me suspiciously.
“Babe, something’s definitely wrong with you,” she says. “I know you like it rough at times, but that was pretty rough.”
“Did I hurt you?”
“No, but I know that’s not how you do it. I saw it in your eyes that something’s wrong. I hope it’s not some other kid at the orphanage, who broke an arm or some shit like that.”
Her tone is so inconsiderate that I furrow my eyebrows at her and gently push her off my chest.
“Why did you say it like that?”
She rolls her eyes. “It’s nothing. I was only trying to take a guess.”
“But why would you say it like that?”
“I shouldn’t have said that. Look, I’m sorry. I’m still trying to be better when it comes to kids.” She pouts, placing her hands on my shoulders.
To calm down, I take a deep breath and lie down with her head on my chest again.
“Lately, I’ve been thinking about something and you’re going to love it.” She smiles with enthusiasm and wide eyes.
“What is it?”
“I think it’s time you and I started having babies.”
