Forever And Always

Chapter 19

Walking into my apartment felt weird the next day. It felt like it had been forever since I had been here. It didn't look like anyone was home. Of course, my sexy man was right on my heels.

"Hurry up get what you need, he rushes me. I give him an irritated look. Sometimes his bossy attitude really turns me on, but right now I want to punch him in his face. I walk away to get my school stuff. I walk out with my bag over my shoulder.

"Where are your clothes?" he asks with a frown on his face.

"I am not moving in with you," I exclaim in irritation. Usually I wouldn't let something like this bother me but I am still upset about the Hickes I found this morning on my neck. Apparently, they were part of my punishment from yesterday. When I confronted the jerk about them, he said, "You should have been a good girl and then I wouldn't have to punish you." This didn't go over well and caused a fight. The cave man attitude is getting on my nerves.

"Fine," he says, "but you're staying over so get some fucking clothes." He walks toward the bedroom and starts riffling through my stuff, then he says, "screw it we'll just stay naked in my bed." I stomp passed him and start packing some clothes into another bag. I look up at him as I pass him walking out the door. He is smirking at me and it is just pissing me off more.

Before we head to my school, he pulls me over to him buckles me in the middle seat. Then he puts the truck into drive and we head out. When we reach my school, Dominic gets out and helps me out of the truck. He grabs my bag and sets it at our feet and shuts his door. Then he leans me back against the truck and leans in. His hands are on each side of my face and his lips touch mine. I feel his tongue move over my lips. I pull him in to me and kiss him back. I feel the tingles shoot through me when his lips touch mine.

He pulls away from me, "call me before you come out of the building," he tells me commandingly. I look up at him and roll my eyes. He was about to let go of my hand as I walked away but he tugged me back. "What was that baby?" he asks me in his threatening voice.

"Nothing darlin," I reply sweetly in return.

He kisses my lips again before letting me go. "I will be here to pick you up. Don't come out of the building early," he repeats sternly. I keep walking. My phone dings. Is he seriously texting me? I get to class and dig out my phone.

Wait inside the building -D

He is ridiculous.

I feel like class was never ending, it went by so slow. I couldn't wait to be back with Dominic which is ridiculous since he is driving me crazy. Walking out, I dig out my phone again to call Dominic. I know I am running late; this class always does.

My phone flies out of my hand and I look up at Kevin. Great so not what I need right now.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" he asks me snidely.

"None of your business," I respond, trying to look for my phone which happens to be in pieces on the floor behind Kevin. Great. I go to walk past him and he grabs my arm. What is with him and grabbing my arm.

"Why are you such an asshole?" I shout at him, wrenching my arm away.

"Why are you such an uptight bitch?" He sneers at me.

"Don't you have some hooker to go bother." I throw back at him angry that he won't just go away.

"Yup," he replies, "I am harassing my hooker," he states harshly. I push him back a little trying to get him out of my personal space.

"Leave me alone," I scream at him. He grabs my arm again making me wince in pain.

"I hate skanks like you," he directs at me with such hatred I am shocked. "You think you are so perfect, so much better than everyone else. The truth is your nothing, just a stupid slut," he hisses at me with the same hatred written all over his face. I cringe back from him, fearing this is about to get worse.

Suddenly Kevin cries out. I look up and see a hand wrapped around the wrist he has on my arm. "Let her go," the voice demands sounding deadly. I look into Dominic's face and he is pissed. More than pissed, I have never seen him so angry. He steps between me and Kevin, the minute he lets go of my arm.

"Look man," Kevin stammers out, "I don't have a problem with you." I can tell he is scared. Who wouldn't be with the look on Dominic's face?

Dominick leans down, right in Kevin's face and says, "oh you have a problem with me boy, otherwise your hands wouldn't be on my women. Kevin's face shows shock and fear. I can see Dominic's knuckles turning white from the grip he has on Kevin.

"Dominic," I call to him trying to pull him out of his rage. He doesn't even acknowledge me. He is too intent on Kevin.

"You don't look at her, you don't talk to her, you don't ever fucking touch her, you don't breath in her mother fucking direction," he snarls at Kevin in anger. "The next time you see my face the outcome will be very different." I think he's going to let go but he stands there like he might do worse.

I walk to him and touch his arm. "Dominic," I say with tears in my eyes. "Please don't." He jerks his arm off Kevin and grabs my hand and pulls me behind him.

He doesn't say a word. His shoulders are tense. His other hand is clenched into a fist. I can tell he is still pissed. He lets go of me when we get to his truck, he opens the door for me but he doesn't touch me again. When he closes the door, I hear a loud noise and I look out at him and he is punching the side of his truck. I quickly jump out and go to him.

He spins on me trapping me between the truck and him. His hands are clenched into fists on each side of me. "Sensitive skin?" He snaps at me. He doesn't give me a chance to respond. "You lied to me Ella. I asked you about the marks on your arms and you lied."

I was shaking I had never seen him this mad before. I knew I had messed up. "I am sorry," I stammer out. "I didn't want you to worry about me." I have tears pouring down my face.

He looks into my face and I see him clench his jaw. "He could have hurt you!! Do you understand that Ella? I would have taken care of it last time but u lied to me, for him? That creep? Why?" He keeps moving his face closer to me. "Who is he to you Gabriella?" When I don't answer immediately, he bellows, "WHO?"

"No one," I cry out. "He's just some guy from school. He was picking on some kid and I kind of intervened and now he hates me. I figured he would get over it. I didn't want to cause a bigger problem over this. I didn't want you to get in another fight. You have this habit of going over board when these things happen and I thought I could handle it. Dominic calm down please, you're over reacting. He never hurts me he's just an asshole."

Dominick pushes himself away from the truck and turns his back to me. When he turns around, he is different. I think this might be worse. "Get in the truck Ella." He says it almost coldly and I know I can't argue with him right now. He seems close to losing it tonight.

I climb in the truck and sit quietly on my side of the truck. I assume he's taking me to my apartment since he is mad but I am shocked when I notice we are headed to his place. He doesn't talk to me for the whole drive. When we get to his apartment he walks in and goes to his office. I don't know what to do so I decide to shower. After my shower he still hasn't come out of his office so I lay down and go to sleep.
