Who the fuck leaves voicemails except for my dentist’s office?
And here he goes again. I ignore the call yet again and prepare to delete the voicemail that I know will be coming moments later when there’s a knock on the door. Dominic would have my ass if I answered the door to an unexpected guest at night, but it’s four in the afternoon, so I figure I’m safe from any abduction attempts. I make my way to the foyer, surprised Dominic isn’t already down here and let out a groan when I look through the peephole to see just who I’ve been avoiding.
“What?” I call through the door. “Most people take a hint when someone ignores their texts and calls.”
“Stass…baby…” I hear through the door and I roll my eyes at his term of endearment.
“That ship has sailed.”
“Well, what about the old ship? A friendship.”
“The only friendship I’m interested in having with you is one that doesn’t involve any kind of sexual activity.”
“But…” A hand darts out next to me and before I can blink, I’m pushed back as Dominic opens the door.
“Can I help you?” He crosses his arms and glares at Carter.
“Oh…Principal Callahan I…I didn’t know you were home.”
“Well, I am. Is there a reason you’re on my porch, one calling my stepdaughter‘baby’and two talking about any kind of sexual activity? Have you lost your mind?”
“Well, sir…I didn’t exactly say anything about sex.” I can see he’s visibly shaken up at this conversation with Dominic. I try to contain the smile pulling at my lips at this possessive show Dominic seems to be putting on for me.At least I hope that’s what this is.
“I did hear her say she hasn’t been interested in talking to you. Take the hint, son.” His voice is even, though if I’m not mistaken, I detect a hint of smugness in his voice.
“Sir, I would just like to talk to her.”
“She doesn’t want to talk and until she does, until she reaches out, I would advise that you not show up at my house unannounced again.” He takes a step back into the house. “I don’t want to have this conversation a second time.”
He huffs and looks at me, still somewhat in his line of sight and I simply shrug as if to say ‘Sorry not sorry.’
He turns and heads back to his car just as Dominic closes the door. “That the guy you mess around with?”
“Why? Are you jealous? I have to admit I enjoyed this little show.” I place my hands on my hips and cock my head to the side.
“I don’t like that he’s bothering you,” he responds.Yeah, bullshit.
“You don’t like that he’s bothering me? Or that he’s the only other man that knows what my cunt tastes like?”
His nostrils flare and he takes a step closer to me. “Both.”
“Hmmm.”I wasn’t expecting that response.He’d been careful not to even get too close to me, let alone reference anything from that weekend, but I guess jealousy can make you do some crazy things. “Well, as I said, that ship has sailed. I don’t want him. I ended things that night you picked me up from his house.”
“That’s whose house you went to that night?” he growls and takes another step closer to me so that’s he’s towering over me. “Did you let him touch you that night? Did you let him touch you and then you called me to come and make it better?”
Oh, this is good. I could make this work in my favor.“No, caveman. He wanted to fuck me and I said no. I didn’t want to have sex with him. We’ve talked about this.” I turn away and begin walking towards the kitchen knowing without a shadow of a doubt that I’ve got Dominic on the hook for this conversation.
“You’ve never really said why though,” he says as he follows close behind me.
“Because I thought my first time should be special. With someone I trust and someone who loves me.” I turn around and look up into his eyes. “Someone that would make me feel cherished and hold my hand through a really important thing.”
“Did I…you felt those things about me?” I’m surprised he has to ask but perhaps he’s still feeling particularly green with jealousy having met the only other man I’ve messed around with.
“Of course.”
He presses a hand to his face and drops to a chair in the dining room. “And then I was a dick to you.”
“You weren’t a dick. You’re freaked out. Although, I’ll admit it hurt when you said I didn’t have a moral compass. Is that what you think of me?” Those words have been playing in my mind on a loop. Does he judge me for coming onto him? For propositioning him in the first place? Does he think I’m a shitty daughter?
