"Welcome to my humble abode" Dylan welcomed Dominic, as they settled in.
The place smells like Lavender. The room is well-arranged and decorated with vine leaves on one part of the wall while the other part had purple-themed wall collages glued on the wall. The ceiling is traced with led lights.
"What's in the bag? you've been clinging onto it" He asked, referring to the gift bag from Seraphina.
"I don't know..... I haven't checked it" Dominic stuttered.
"I suppose it's a gift" Dylan muttered slowly.
"Hmm" He sounded, already checking the items in the bag.
"Sorry but from who? I don't recall you ever having any friend" Dylan questioned.
"The Fvck!" Dominic gasped in shock when he saw the contents in the bag.
It's a pair of clothing that looks like the ones worn by popular singers, with a pair of boot and a brand new power bank.
There's a note attached to it.
"I suppose you'd be needing these soon, get ready. I'm rooting for you" He read in confusion.
"Is there a musical show coming up soon, Dylan?" He raised a brow up.
"Yes, you didn't know?" Dylan responded.
"It's everywhere on the school channel" He added.
"Wait, you're still not on the school community channel?" He concluded.
Dominic nodded in response.
"I'll help you with that later but who gifted you these? They are quite expensive"
"I met a girl today. You didn't see her earlier today at the hallway?" Dominic asked.
"No, I didn't"
"She lended my power bank and phone charger today and then gave me this as a token of appreciation, I believe" He replied.
"Wow" He muttered.
"What's her-
"I'm famished, Dylan" He yawned out.
"Chef Dylan is heading to the kitchen now" Dylan replied, before going into the kitchen to prepare something.
*
THE WEST MANSION*
Seraphina is having lunch with her dad.
"Hope you're enjoying your meal, baby West" He asked.
"Mmm" She nodded her head in response.
"You said you had something to tell me" He said, wiping his lips with the napkin.
He's done eating.
The maid immediately came to take his plates to the kitchen.
"Do you need anything, Miss West?" The maid asked.
"Yes, I need more juice" Seraphina replied.
"Okay ma'am" She left.
"I met a guy at school today, and I'd like to be friends with him. So therefore, I'll be featuring him in my next documentary and he'd be coming to the house for some time" She informed.
"What's his name?"
The maid returned with a jar of fresh orange juice, poured some into her glass and then dropped the jar on the table, taking the empty jar away.
"Nerdy boy" She responded.
"Why are you eating so slowly today?" He noticed.
"I didn't see Jack today at school. He hasn't even called neither texted me in a while. I think he's still mad at me for yelling at him over the phone the last time. He's so petty, I apologized already" She explained.
"Just give him sometime, you know how the Carter's can be, extremely stubborn" Her dad consoled her and they chuckled.
"Jack isn't stubborn though, he's just petty" She defended grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh, someone is drunk in love" He teased her.
"Stop it, dad" She blushed.
"Alright, but focus on your studies. Degrees over-
"Boys" She completed.
"Good. Now, back to your friend, I'm quite happy that you're starting to mingle and meet new people but be careful. But, you still haven't told me his name" He recalled.
"Because I don't know it...." She muttered slowly.
"Baby West"
"I'll ask him tomorrow, dad. I promise"
"Okay fine. You have my permission to bring him to the house. I'd like to meet him too"
"Thank you, daddy!" She got up and hugged him.

JACK'S SUITE*
Jack is angrily playing chess, til unable to figure out the fact why he got so angry seeing Dylan and Dominic together.
He never gave an F about Dominic so what's happening to him now?
First, he saved him from being attacked by the students.
Secondly, he took down the video.
Thirdly, Roger and him even got physical with each other, for the very first time in history.
He just sat there playing chess filled with fury, still replaying the scene where Dominic wrapped his hands around Dylan's waist.
That shouldn't be any of his business.
It shouldn't be, at all.
"What the hell is wrong with me?!" He pushed the chess board in anger.
He marched to the bar stand in the living room, and grabbed a bottle of vodka, and then gulped it down his throat in anger.
*
SERAPHINA'S ROOM*
She had her night bath already, she sat on the bed, scrolling through her channel on YouTube on her pink ipad.
"I need to hit 500k subscribers in the next 30 days. I hope the algorithm pushes the documentary really hard that I get millions of views" She said to herself.
"Roger slipped it out earlier today that you're back, why didn't you tell me?"
The text popped up on the screen, it's a message from snap.
A contact saved as "Boo 💕" texted. It's Jack.
She quickly clicked on it.
"I'm so sorry baby, I just wanted to surprise you" She texted back.
She then called him.
"Where are you?" His voice sounded a bit calm.
"Home"
"Could you come over for the night?"
"It's late, baby"
"At 8pm?"
"Okay fine, come pick me up" She agreed.
"Good girl" He chuckled softly, and ended the call.
He got there in few minutes.
"I'm outside" He texted.
She took a peek from the room window, and sighted his car parked at a distance.
"Okay, I'm coming!!!!!!" She texted with so much excitement.
She carried her already packed bag on the bed. She'll just go to school from his place tomorrow.
She quietly sneaked out of the house.
"Where are you heading to, Miss West?" The security personnel at the gate questioned.
"Fvck" She cussed under her breath.
"Jack's outside" She replied.
"I can't see-
"I'm here" Jack said, knocking on the gate.
"Told ya" She stuck out her tongue at him.
He then opened the gate.
"Good evening, Mr Jack" He greeted.
"Can I take my fiancee with me now?" Jack asked, taking the little luggage bag from her already.
"Of course" He chuckled.
"Good night" She said to the man, leaving with Jack.
"Oh my baby boooooo" She hugged him tightly in the car.
"I missed you so much" She planted kisses on his face.
"Same here" He replied, gently pushing her away.
"What's wrong, baby? You're not still mad at me, are you?" She gave him puppy eyes.
"No, I'm not" He answered, starting the car, after wearing his seatbelt. He helped with hers too.
"But you're being off. You're acting weird. You reek of alcohol, boo. Have you been drinking? What are you thinking about? What's bothering you? Do you need money?" She questioned in worry.
"Of course not, money has never been a problem to me. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine" He chuckled.
"You're sure?"
"Yes, little Mrs Carter" He chuckled.
"Oh stop it" She blushed, her cheeks turning red.
"You still haven't changed" He laughed.
"Gosh, it's so hot in here" She muttered blinking her eyes like a doll, as she fanned herself with her hand.
"And I don't recall turning off the AC, Mademoiselle" He taunted.
"Oh shut up!" She screamed out in shame.
*
BACK AT DYLAN'S PLACE*
There's a bowl of popcorn and two glasses of juice on the table with the led lights turned on, in colour purple.
Dylan and Dominic are watching TV, then a kiss scene came up.
The atmosphere switched from warm to hot.
The actors just kept on kissing.
Dominic ears turned red, his hands folded on his thighs.
"Let me just- I'll just- let's change the channel" Dylan stuttered, picking up the remote from the table.
He switched to five different channels but they were all displaying intimacy between the actors, the last channel he switched up was showing a make-out session between two guys.
"Damn" The remote fell from his hand.
Dominic subconsciously started sucking on his lower lip.
Dylan noticed it, making him gulp nothing down his throat.
He has been attracted to Dominic for a long time but he has never seen this side of him.
"Has he always looked this innocently hot?" He thought in his head.
Dominic eyes didn't shift from the TV for a second, he's so deeply into it. He always said he was straight but why's this scene doing things to him. Things he shouldn't even be feeling, right now.
"I'm straight or maybe I'm not..." He said in his head.
He immediately snapped out of his trance, and locked eyes with Dylan.
"D-Dylan" He muttered as Dylan moved closer to him.
"Shhhh" Dylan placed his finger on his lips. Dominic watched as his Adam's Apple moved up and down, beads of sweat building on his temple.
"I need to head to the pub now, I'm sure my boss needs me" He managed to speak. He'd be lying if he says he's also not feeling something right now.
"This doesn't feel right, D-Dylan" He stuttered as Dylan held his chin, ready to devour on his lips.
He crashed his lips on Dominic's own before he'd gather his thoughts and probably push him away.
Dylan just kept on kissing his lips, he took a while before responding into the kiss, locking lips with him too. Dylan smiled, and started roaming his hands on Dominic's body, making him breathe heavily.
Dominic wrapped his arms around his neck, kissing him back so hard. They're literally eating out each other's lips right now, moans slipping out of their mouth every second.
The door was swung open, making Dominic pull out of the kiss abruptly.
"The Fvck" The person cussed out in shock.
Dominic eyes widened.
Who do you think caught them is it Jack, Roger or a total stranger?
