Love the Second Time Around

Chapter 121 An Innocent Friendship

“Lili, don’t use your phone when we’re eating,” my dad said sharply.

I acknowledged his words and stopped typing, stuffing my phone back into my purse.

My dad must have been exhausted after his talk. After dinner, instead of chatting with Dominic like yesterday, he announced that he would go back to rest.

Before they left, we made plans to bring them around town the next day.

Dominic and I left for my place after that. On the drive home, Dominic got a call from Camille. I stewed silently in the passenger seat, acting like I was not there.

 

No matter how uncomfortable I felt about the situation, I made sure none of it showed in my expression.

Dominic was nothing if not a smooth-talker, appeasing Camille with barely a few words.

 

Once we got home, I took a shower and burrowed into my bed with my tablet.

I needed to get some work done on my comics. I had not drawn for two days, and my manuscript was due in a couple more days.

Before I got down to work, I suddenly remembered something. I set my tablet aside and sped for the living room, locating and swallowing a birth control pill.

I’ve got to remember to eat these from now on.

I returned to my bedroom and began drawing in earnest.

Dominic came in as I was absorbed in my work.

I stared at him for a few seconds before moving aside, leaving him some space to sit on the bed.

Instead of getting on the bed, Dominic snatched the tablet out of my hands. He pinned me down on the bed in the next instant.

Even as my body began responding to his touch, I stuttered in protest, “H-hey, let’s talk this through. Everything in moderation and all that, right? Don’t overexert yourself.”
