Ever since I met you

Chapter 7

It was the weekend. I got up early because me and Dominic are going to work on the literature project. I got ready, ate breakfast, got the things I needed to take with me. I was off tot he bus stop. I could have used my mother to drive me to there but I wanted her to sleep for longer. The bus arrived in time and I walked into it. Drove for like ten minutes and was off to walk to his apartment building. Had to call him for the front door's lock's combination and then I walked up a few floors and rang the door of his. Within a few seconds he opened the door and welcomed me in.

"Nice home." I commented.

"Thanks. We finished renovating it last summer."

I removed my shoes and left them by the entrance next to the other shoes and removed my coat which I hanged on the nearby wall with hooks. He showed me to his room. The apartment consisted of kitchen, living room, his parents bedroom, his bedroom, office room and the bathroom. His parents use the office since they need that space. Dominic's room looks nice. It definitely was cleaned not too long ago, likely because I was coming. The walls were decorated with different bands and singer's posters, shows his love for music. I sat down on the edge fo his bed and placed my backpack on the ground next to my feet.

"Should we just start?"

"I think so." I answered.

"I'll make the base of the presentation and you can start on guttering the information."

"Ok."

I took my own laptop to his house and I went on the internet to search about the author. Basic information, some fun facts, wins if the author had any, books written or series, the best works and the book we both had read and we write more on the book's information. This whole process took us two hours and we were happy with our project. We made lunch. His parents weren't home because they were at his grandparents. As we ate lunch we talked. A bit about school and then just free time and other interesting things that had happened in the world recently. I noticed how little do I know what's been happening even in my own town and country. Maybe because I don't look for that information and I barely talk with my parents, especially my dad since he works a lot. Me and my mom do have a better relationship but it isn't the best neither. The family photos of his look lovely, we barely have any and most are from my childhood years and not recent ones.

My life seems very dark comparably to Dominic's or so it seems like that. But I like his apartment a lot and you can tell it was renovated not too long ago. The fact that they kept it veyr clean is astonishing to me. I am not saying that my family's apartment is bad, it just hasn't been updated probably since my parents moved into it. I get it we don't really have the money to renovate it fully but at least one room at a time. I live a simple life. At least I do have my own room. I need to stop thinking about my kind of miserable life for some time. It would be better for me mentally.

We had the time to pass. He had a gaming console and so we played a game he recommended. I wasn't so bad at it for a first timer of the game. Dominic surely was very good at playing it. Although I had managed to win once which I was, super happy about, others time I lost or just got the lower places. We played for like an hour in a half and then decided to go grab a snack and watch a movie. The movie was a romcom. I liked it and I presume he did too. Sadly it was about a straight couple and no gay couples in the movie but that's alright. It was time for me to go home. Or so I thought. I didn't have much to do at home and Dominic had suggested we go to the city center. I agreed.

Caught the bus and drove to the needed stop and then walked out of the bus, went to the direction of the preferred street. Since it is Saturday afternoon, the center is full of people. The weather is a nice touch to the overall experience. I wasn't a big fan of the center since it meant many people but with Dominic it felt nicer to walk thought the street. We settled to walk to the nearest bubble tea shop. Its been my recent obesity. I do only order a specific order but I really like it. Once there I ordered my drink and helped Dominic get his order as it was his first time. Then got our orders and sat down in the shop. He liked his drink. We talked. A lot. Like this place made us think of so many topics to talk about. It felt nice to tell someone some things that had happened to me some time ago, good things of course or funny ones.
