Chapter Five

Dominic had been gone for hours, and I was bored out of my mind. I was used to growing up in a house full of liveliness, and it felt odd to be somewhere that was so lonely and cold.

I had thought that Dominic would be home by the end of the night, but as darkness fell, there was absolutely no sight of him. Sighing, I laid back down in bed and grabbed a book that was nearby. Normally, I would have loved a night by myself to read, but now, sitting in bed made me feel as dull as dishwater.

It pissed me off that Dominic was out and about doing god knows what while I was sitting alone in this damn house like a fool.

He’s probably off fucking one of his side chicks,I thought. Dominic hadn’t mentioned other women, though he made it clear I was not to be near other men, but I couldn’t help but feel like another woman had to be keeping Dominic out so late.

Dominic was clearly a man with a ferocious sex drive if last night had been any indication, and I couldn’t imagine him being satisfied with a virginal bride. He seemed to like what we did last night, but I had such little experience that I wouldn’t really know what it meant to be good in bed.

Throwing my book in frustration, I reached out and grabbed my pillow pressing it against my face as I screamed out all of my anger and frustration. I had thought that Dominic and I had agreed on some sort of truce this afternoon.

He had seemed open to the idea of going to Columbia, and I couldn’t stop myself from being excited at the prospect. I hadn’t expected him to agree to the prospect of school so readily. My father sure wouldn’t have. In fact, when I saw my father next and told him the news, I knew that I was going to get an earful. Not that it mattered any longer. I was a wife now, and my father had no control over my life.

Lying in bed, I looked up contemplating what being a wife really meant. Dominic had laid down some ground rules, ones that I honestly had no issue following, but I didn’t know what was expected of me.

The ringing of my phone brought me out of my spell of self-pity. “Hello?” I asked. My cousin Natalia was calling me. I couldn’t imagine what she wanted to discuss at ten o’clock on a Sunday night.

“Sasha!” Natalia yelled into the phone. “What’s up, my favorite cousin?”

I sat up in bed immediately worried about the sound of Natalia’s voice. Her words were slightly slurred as she spoke, and there was loud music in the background.

“Natalia?” I asked. “Where are you?”

“I’m at a frat party!” she yelled into the phone.

I felt my brow furrow. “Are you drunk?” I asked. I was shocked. Natalia was one of my closest friends, probably my only friend, mostly because her father was as strict as my own. I couldn’t believe that she was at a party, and I was even more shocked that she was drunk.

“I’ve had a few drinks,” she said. “You should come! I’m having so much fun.”

“I can tell,” I said.

It sounded like Natalia was having a great time, doing what an eighteen-year-old woman should be doing, and I couldn’t stop the dark pit of jealousy that opened up in my stomach.

“You should come!” Natalia yelled on the phone. I had to hold it away from my ear. I couldn’t stand much more of her yelling.

“I can’t,” I said. “I’m already in bed.”

“With that hot new husband of yours?”

I frowned. I didn’t want to talk to my cousin about Dominic. I didn’t want to discuss this sham of a marriage with anyone. “He’s out,” I said.

“Then, you should come out.”

I bit my bottom lip. “I have no way to get there,” I said.

“Get a cab.”

For a moment, I contemplated just hanging up the phone, but the sound of the music in the background was much more inviting to me than the idea of sitting in my room alone. I had been married for less than twenty-four hours, and I was miserable.

“Fine,” I said. “Text me the address.”

“Yay!” Natalia yelled.

I clicked off the phone and rolled out of bed. I wasn’t sure how Dominic would feel about me going out for the night, but I wasn’t sure that I cared.

I was going to put on the shortest skirt I owned and go out and have some fun. For once, I wasn’t locked in the house under the guise of propriety, and I planned to take advantage of that fact.
