Chapter 6 - BOUND BY THE PAST

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.

It's Jack.

Dylan looked nonchalant, not caring about the fact that they got caught kissing.

"Yo, calm down" Dylan said to Dominic, watching as his heart pounded against his chest.

Jack simply slammed the door shut and left.

Seraphina was waiting for him in the car.

"What's wrong? Is he still mad at you?" She questioned worriedly when he entered the car. 

NO RESPONSE.

He just drove off.

"Baby, why aren't you saying anything?"

He ignored her, turning on the radio.

"Did he-

"Just shut it, okay?! It's all your fault, I never wanted to go there neither did I want to reconcile with him! But no, as an Advocate for peace and harmony, you made me go there. Don't disrupt my peace, right now, got it? So just shut up, and let me drive, okay?!" He snapped.

Her eyes clouded with tears immediately.

Jack has never yelled at her before. He never told her to stop talking for once, no matter how much she talked, he always listened without any distraction. Well, you could say she was a radio, and he was her number one fan, a devoted listener.

But right now, his outburst just made her think otherwise.

"Could you take me home?" She wiped the tears off her cheeks.

"Okay" He muttered, realizing his mistake.

He shouldn't have yelled at her like that.

*

Dominic just picked up his stuff and left without uttering a word to Dylan.

"Fvck! Jack had to ruin things for me this time around. What did he even come here for?!" He threw the bowl of popcorn away, fuming in rage.

It was the right time to finally confess his feelings to Dominic but no, Jack Carter had to ruin the moment.

Dominic got to the bar and started working immediately.

"What took you so long, Dominic?" His boss questioned calmly.

Dominic quickly wiped off his lips, trying to erase the fact that he just had an intense kiss with a guy!

He turned to apologize with eyes flooded with tears.

"Are you fine?" The boss asked worriedly, holding his shoulder.

"Hmmm" He nodded.

"Is there anything you wanna talk about?" 

"Two glasses of beer please!" A customer requested from across the room.

"I'll attend to her" He dashed away before he'd burst out in tears.

JACK'S SUITE*

"I asked you to take me home, not bring me here" Seraphina faced him.

"And that's exactly what I did" Jack replied, grabbing her bag from the backseat.

"Take me home" She repeated.

He got down from the car, and opened the door for her to alight.

"Take me home" She wrapped her arms.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay? I shouldn't have snapped at you like that" He apologized.

"Hmmmm" She sounded, turning away.

"Take me home" She said again.

"Isn't my home yours too, baby girl?" He teased, whispering in her ear. She turned red.

"Stop it" She said almost inaudibly, trying hard not to blush.

He then carried her in his arms like a baby.

"Drop me down, I can walk by myself" She kicked her legs in the air, still acting like she was mad at him.

"Fine" He then switched position and carried her over his shoulder.

"Drop me down!" She kicked her legs as they entered the house.

He shut the door close with his leg, and threw the bag on a couch, as they headed upstairs.

"I won't repeat myself-

He spanked her ass hard, that a moan escaped her lips.

"You were saying?" He spanked her again.

She moaned.

"N-Nothing at all" She responded, trying to catch her breath.

"So you're no longer mad at daddy?" He teased, throwing her on the bed.

"Ouch" She sounded.

He hovered over her slowly, placing kisses on her skin from her feet til he got to her thighs. He slowly lifted her silk skirt up, trailing warm kisses on her thighs.

"Baby boo, are you being for real this time around?" She asked with a hint of excitement in her voice.

He has never gotten intimate with her before.

"Hmmm" He sounded, sucking on her neck while his right hand, messaged her breast.

She grinned immediately.

Moans came out of her mouth every second.

He slammed his lips on hers, making her breath seize for a second.

Why is he kissing her so hard?

His hand left her breast and went to her neck, choking her slightly.

Just then, the intense kissing scene he witnessed at Dylan's place, flashed in his head.

Imaginary scene of Dylan smirking at him in victory, clouded his thoughts.

His knuckles instantly turned white.

He subconsciously choked her harder, eating, sucking, and biting her lips, all at the same.

He isn't even giving her a chance to catch her breath right now.

She tried taking his hand off her neck but he didn't bulge.

She was literally struggling to catch her breath, she had to forcefully push him away, snapping him out of his trance.

"What's wrong with you? You almost killed me!" She snapped.

"I'm sorry" He muttered and with that he went into the bathroom.

She just rolled eyes, and then laid on the bed to sleep.

He came out in few minutes, got clad in his pajamas and left the room.

"He's changed" Seraphina muttered under her breath.

*

THE NEXT MORNING, WESTSIDE COLLEGE*

Jack hasn't spoken to Seraphina since last night. She tried having a conversation with him before they left the house and also in the car but all efforts turned futile.

He didn't even tell her goodbye, he just left her in the hallway, and took a turn heading for his lecture.

"Hey nerdy boy" She waved when she sighted Dominic at a distance.

He slowly waved back.

*

ROOFTOP*

"Aren't you supposed to be in class?" Dominic questioned.

"I'm not in the mood for that" Seraphina responded.

"What about you?" She faced him.

"First of all, pardon my manners. I'm so sorry, thank you for the-

"Forget about that" She shrugged.

"But I still have to thank you"

"Hmmm, I know another way which you can use to show me how appreciative you are" She smiled.

"Okay..." He drawled in confusion.

"Okay, let's get to work" She quickly set up her phone on the selfie stick, and went live.

"Hey guys, it's your favorite YouTuber right here. I have a surprise for you all, I'll be sharing a 30 days documentary of my life as a college student with you guys and I will featuring my nerdy friend in it, say hi to the camera" She turned the camera to him.

"Huh? But I haven't said-

"Hey, act normal" She mouthed.

"H-Hey guys, nice to meet you all" He muttered awkwardly, and adjusted his glasses.

* Who is he?

* We love you, Seraphina.

* He's awkwardly cute tho

* He's so weird

* I can't wait to watch the documentary

* Me too

Comments kept on popping up on the screen.

He just went silent not uttering another word again.

"Jeez, I have a lot of work to do" Seraphina rolled eyes, before turning the camera back to herself.

One comment that caught her attention came in.

* What's with the old-fashioned glasses?

"You're stupid, blocked" She blocked the user immediately.

"Why'd you block a fan?" He asked.

"That wasn't a fan, that was a bully" She replied.

* Go girl

* We love you

"Okay" He nodded his head.

"Bye guys" She ended the live.

Jack was watching the live from his classroom, his headset is connected to the phone.

He got up, and exited the class.

"How's your preparation for the upcoming musical contest?" She questioned.

"I don't think I'd want to participate in it" He answered.

"Are you kidding me?" She laughed.

"No, I'm not"

"Of course you are. Every student in your department and level are obligated to take part in it, that's why I got you that outfit, remember?"

"I didn't know.....

"Aren't you on the platform?"

"I mean the school channel"

"Not at all" He responded.

"Jeez, I'm so shocked" She held her chest.

"Okay, where's your phone?" She stretched her hand forward, and he handed her the phone.

"Forgive me on this but I have to say jeez, where are you from? The 90's? Early 20's?" She almost laughed.

"Not everyone had it easy like you, some of us had to struggle to get every single thing that we own, including getting food to eat. We have to work for everything that we need without the help of our parents or a relative. We take responsibility for ourselves at a very tender age, but, no one sees our struggle. Y'all might call me old-fashioned, poor or even broke but I honestly do not care, I'm contended with what I have and that's what matter the most" He snatched his phone from her.

"Yo, it's not that deep....." She said calmly.

"You don't get to decide if it's that deep or not, I get to decide that" He said sternly, and left.

"Seraphina, you keep ruining things! I shouldn't have said that" She threw her legs in the air.

Jack was climbing the stairs to the rooftop when he crossed paths with teary Dominic.

"You didn't get emotional because of the comments, did you?" Jack asked.

"Don't act like you're any better, just leave me alone" Dominic walked away.

Jack rushed to blocked his way.

"This isn't about the comments, is it? Did she say something?" He raised a brow.

Dominic looked away. He badly wants to burst out in tears, and pour out his heart but Jack isn't the right person to speak to, not his high school bully.

"Breaking down in front of him is only going to make me appear weak and I don't want that" He said in his head.

"Did she say something, yes or no?" He repeated.

"Enough, okay? Just move out of my way" Dominic slightly pushed him out of the way.

He's tired of living like this, he's tired of living as a weakling. From today henceforth, he's going to stand up for himself, enough of the insults and bullying.

Enough.
