Broken dream

chapter thirty-two - personal space & her boyfriend

Pov: Avalon Ambrose

"Dude this place is fucking amazing!" Zeke gasps as we explore the main living room of Dom's family cabin, he's right this place is fabulous. The designed wooden interiors and the modern look of the place are so beautiful, that I'm in awe. 

I look out of the glass balcony sliding door to catch a view of the mountains, the lush evergreen giving me the most calming feeling ever, the living room has a fireplace, a tv, a kitchen, and stairs that lead to rooms upstairs. 

"Thanks, guys, there are exactly three rooms upstairs coincidentally so Reeve and Zeke share one, Tate and Caleb share one while Ava and I share the other," Dom smiles at us as he wheels my suitcase in and drops his duffle bag on the wooden flooring, "Sounds amaze, thank you!" Tate squeals and hugs Dom. 

"Y'all have an oven and shit, that's so cool! We should bake together!" Zeke cheers and the smile on Reeve's face is a blessing enough for his eyes, "That sounds like so much fun!" I join in and Tate slings her arm over my shoulder, hugging me in laughter. 

"Yeah for sure, simply for your boyfriend to burn this place to the ground or blow up the kitchen," Dom chuckles at Zeke and Reeve frowns at him, "That was one time I nearly set this place on fire, but we were like 13 years old, don't blame me!" he shouts and we all laugh harder. 

"So what're today evening's plans?" Caleb asks, bending down to tie the laces of his converse, "It's around 4:45 pm already, let's get ready and go out for dinner, how does that sound?" Dom suggests and I nod, a bit too eagerly because I'm quite literally starving. 

"Sure sounds good, is this like a fancy dinner or something, what's the dress code?" Tate asks and Dom shrugs, "Anything is fine, it's like a mountainside, partly Lakeview restaurant, it has a bar but I'm sure we can't get in there. Wear a dress! It'll be pretty!" he tells Tate and I grin, all of our friendships are adorable. 

"Yeah babe, so pretty!" Caleb smiles at her and she leans over to peck his cheek, "Yeah, so pretty," Dom coos in my ear and I roll my eyes, smiling up at him. 

"Okay, so what the hell do I wear?" Zeke asks and Reeve rolls his eyes, "Babe just wear the shirt and jeans you packed," he scoffs and Zeke smiles at him, "You think I'll look good in that?" Zeke beams, Reeve pulls him by the waist and hugs him, "You look good in everything." Is all he says to make Zeke's face light up like the fireworks on the fourth of July.  

I laugh, "So we'll meet back down when we're ready because I'm in need of a shower and maybe a nap," I yawn and Dom kisses the top of my head, "Even though my girlfriend over here slept for the entire car ride up here," he deadpans and everybody laughs. 

"Not the entire car ride but fair enough," I defend myself and Tate gives me her disapproving 'mhmm'.

I lace up my shadow jordans and am buttoning up my shirt when I hear my lovely girlfriend yelling out my name from the bathroom, will this girl ever call me normally or is it going to always be a cry for help each time? Although I'd prefer to have her screaming in other ways too-

"Dominic, stop dreaming and get your ass in here!" she yells out and I roll my eyes, "Could've added in a please, ya know!?" I shout back and make my way to the bathroom. 

The minute I see her, my breath halts, and I instantly grin, she looks so beautiful, holy shit. "Baby... wow," I breathe out and scroll my eyes over the dark blue skin-tight silk dress she's wearing. She looks absolutely stunning.
