Date Night

The doorbell rang and I was nervous as hell, I still didn’t know if I was doing the right thing by agreeing to tonight but either was I was slightly excited about it all.

The thing I was worried about the most was if one or all of us was going to get hurt in the end, if I chose Jake Dom would be hurt and I chose Dom Jake would be hurt and if I chose neither all three of us would be hurt but I had to start somewhere.

I pulled on the dress and slipped on my heels before heading downstairs, I couldn’t help myself when I stopped around the corner and listened in on what Emily was saying.

“You better not hurt her again otherwise I will hurt you” Emily threatened and I couldn’t help but laugh.

Emily was even shorter then I was but man did she have a temper, it also didn’t help that her parents made her take martial arts classes as child instead of the usual sport that the rest of us did. It was something we all knew about and it made her more intimidating then one would think.

I heard the male laugh and a smile instantly appeared on my face as I stepped around to come face to face with them both, Emily didn’t look to happy at my laugh interrupting her threat.

“Have fun tonight Tay, I love you” Emily smiled at me and kissed my cheek before turning and leaving us alone, clearly not too annoyed at me interrupting her.

“You look beautiful Tay” I turned and smiled at Dom.

Both Dom and Jake were silent after that night when everything came out and Dom was the one that reached out first, he asked for one night to prove everything could be different if I were to choose him and at first I was hesitant as to if I wanted to accept the date.

There was so many other things we had to take into consideration, if something were to start between Dom and I then we had to come up with an explanation to Jake as to how everything started and there was too much history with Jake to not be worried about hurting him.

“Thank you, you don’t look so bad yourself” I smirked at him and he shook his head at me, he looked incredibly handsome in the simple black pants and shirt.

I stepped closer to him and wrapped my arms around him and he instantly did the same, I breathed in the familiar scent that was always surrounding him and in that moment I missed these moments, the moments during our arrangement.

“Before I forget these are for you” he pulled away and picked up a bouquet of flowers that were sitting on the table.

I smiled at him as I took them taking in the flowers, they were gladiolas, my favourite flowers something that I had no idea he knew about me. Normally when he turned up at the house with flowers with they were just a generic bouquet, nothing special about them.

“Thank you they’re stunning Dom”

“Anything for you” he smiled at me as he down and kissed my cheek.

“I’ll take them” I laughed as I heard Emily’s voice coming from the kitchen and it wasn’t long until she rushed over and grabbed the flowers heading back not even allowing us to say anything.

“What is with her tonight?” Dom questioned.

“I’m not too sure, I think a part of her want’s this whole thing to be over with so I’m back to normal”

“I want you to be back to normal as well Tay” he cupped my face with his hands before leaning down and softly kissing my forehead, I smiled at him thinking that maybe I could be happy with him again. “And the other part?”

“The other part of her wants tonight to work, she thinks I should pick you over Jake”

“I want you to pick me over Jake” he grinned at me

“Of course you do but you know that if I do pick you we’re going to have to tell Jake something” I pointed out what we had both been ignoring and a dark look crossed his face.

“Come on we should go and make our reservation” he linked his fingers with mine and gave me a slight tug to start walking.

I knew we couldn’t ignore the issue of Jake and what would happen, we had to talk about this at one point and I knew it would be hard for Dom, hell it would be hard for me as well but we had to if this was going to go somewhere.

Dinner was amazing, I don’t know how Dom did it but the restaurant was perfect. It was this little Greek place that I had never heard of downtown, the food divine and when I asked how he found it and he said that he had an ample amount of restaurants up his sleeve due to many client meetings.

I was surprised at easy it was for the two of us to talk, Jake wasn’t brought up again and as much as I worried about things were going to go if things did progress with Dom I knew now wasn’t the time to bring it up again.

“Thank you again for giving me this chance Tay” I looked up at him and gave him a smile.

We were currently walking through the local park letting our dinner settle and I knew I needed it, I really did eat too much.

“You’re welcome Dom, I wouldn’t have if I didn’t want to try” I stopped walking and pulled on his arm to pull him closer to me.

“I know this whole situation is fucked up and less than ideal but we will work it out Tay, I just didn’t want that conversation to ruin tonight” he spoke as he wrapped his arms around me and I pressed my face into his chest.

“Then let’s not, I’m really enjoying tonight” I pulled away slightly and looked up at him and flashed him a smile.

One of his hands moved to my neck and he lightly stroked my cheek as he leaned down to kiss me, it started off gentle but it changed when I gripped his hair with my fingers. The hand was still on my back pressed me closer into him while the one on my neck tightened its grip slightly.

It wasn’t until he nipped at my bottom lip and a moan escaped my lips that he pulled away and both of us remembered where we were. “Sorry got carried away” he spoke huskily before nuzzling my neck.

We stood like that for a couple of moments, at first I was confused as to why he hadn’t pulled away or said anything but it wasn’t until I shifted and felt the bludge in his pants. I smirked at him and he frowned.

“Don’t start Tay it’s been a while” he grumbled and I couldn’t help but laugh at him, all he did was grip my hair and tilt my head back to face him. “I said don’t start Tay” he growled and it was a mix between him being angry and playful.

“Yes sir” I grinned at him and he let of my hair and gripped my waist giving me the hint that he wasn’t truly angry with me.

“Come on let’s get you home before I decide to take you against that tree” he threatened and I gulped knowing he wasn’t bluffing.

We might not have had sex out in the public just like this before but when we were together last time we took a holiday together and we ended up having sex on the balcony in broad daylight, something that got both of us off.

We were silent the whole way home but it was comfortable, the thing that was distracting me the whole ride was his hand on my thigh lightly stroking me and it was enough to turn me on. When I looked over at him there was a smirk on his face and I knew he was doing it on purpose.

“You are taking me back to Emily’s aren’t you?” I questioned and he looked my way for a second before focusing back on the road.

“Well I was hoping” he spoke as his hand slipped higher up my thigh and my breath hitched when his finger brushed along my thong.

I pushed his hand away and smirked at him, “nope I don’t have sex on the first date”

“Oh I remember Tay I was just hoping you’d have changed” his hand moved back to my knee as he continued to drive me home.

It was in that moment that things were certainly changing between the two of us, Dom knew exactly how to turn me on and knew there was a point that once crossed I would give in and have sex with him. Towards the end of our relationship it was regularly crossed.

“Thank you for tonight Dom, I had fun and thank you for not pushing the whole sex thing” I leaned over and softly kissed him.

“I told you things could change, if you say no I won’t push it” he caressed my cheek before softly kissing my forehead.

I had a smile on my face as I climbed out of the car and headed inside knowing full and well that Emily would be waiting to hear all the details.
