removed his hand as we pulled up to our apartment. “Don’t think I’m a punk or anything because I apologized and shit; and don’t be trying to tell nobody I did it either.”
    “Okay.” I said through a smile. I guess channel seven news was right for a change. It was in fact getting colder by the minute. “Here put this shit on.” Dominic draped his jacket around my shoulders.
    “Wow. Thanks. You are such a gentleman.” My voice was dripping with sarcasm.
    “Give me my shit back then.” He chuckled before snatching his jacket back. I waited behind him while he unlocked the door. In the apartment it was colder inside then it was outside. The stupid heater was broken. That’s when I knew it was going to be a long and cold night.
    CHAPTER 14 (Kiara)
    I starred at Dominic as he stood in the kitchen once again clad in nothing but black basketball shorts and a black wife beater. He was drinking one of my Gatorades while peaking around the corner to see if I was watching.
    “What the hell are you doing?” He shrugged his shoulders and gave me a coy smile subsequent to turning around fully to face me. I could now see his tattoos clearly. They looked so sexy on him. If I wasn’t mad at him then I would have reached out and traced them just so that I could have some sort of physical contact with him. “Why are you drinking my juice Dominic? What did I tell you about that?” I raised my eye brows awaiting his response.
    “See what had happened was---.”
    “What?” 
    “You’re pregnant. I just wanted to taste it first to make sure there weren’t any poisonous chemicals in it.” He tried to put the bottle to my lips but I pushed his hand away.
    “What you mad at me now?”
    “Fuck you okay.” I gave him the finger just like I did his little girl friend Janice earlier. Exiting the kitchen, I wasn’t expecting to be pushed softly against the wall.
    “I can buy you some more juice. Money ain’t shit to me. Is that what you want? I’ll go out now and replace the ones that I drank.”
    “Don’t even worry about it Dominic. Just move out of my way so I can go lay down.”
    He eyed me down. I wasn’t surprised when his eyes landed upon my breast. The night gown that I had on allowed them to be free and yet still perky at the same time. He licked his lips sliding his hands from my shoulders down to my waist. I turned my head as his tall frame towered over my smaller one. He grabbed my chin and made me look at him. “Not until you tell me that you’re not mad at me.”
    “Dominic---.” I whined.
    “Just tell me.” He begged.
    “Your phone is ringing again.” I plainly avowed with ease.

He now had one hand over my head and the other one still on my waist. I slipped from underneath his hard body only for him to grab my hand and pull me back gently. “I’m not----mad.” He let my hand go once I articulated those words.
    “Good. That’s all you had to say the first fucking time.” He smacked me on my ass before going to retrieve his phone. It’s obvious that whoever it was wasn’t going to give up any time soon until he answered. I shook my head and grabbed my blanket. This shit is ridiculous. For as much as we pay to stay in this mutherfucker you’d think that the heat would at least work. I cuddled up under my blanket on the couch and flipped on the television. The next thing I knew the power shut off. I was just about ready to curse somebody out but then I realized that we weren’t the only ones without power. The walls were somewhat thin so I heard every curse word coming from the couple next door. I stood up still covered tightly in my blanket and wobbled over to the curtains. I saw that even the street lights in this area weren’t working. I huffed and sat back in my same comfortable spot.

“Shit.” Dominic stubbed his toe on the wall and ended up hopping around on one foot like he was doing an African tribal dance. He placed a candle on the countertop in the kitchen and soon lit
