       𝕿HE PLANE RIDE wasn't supposed to be so solemn. it wasn't meant to be so nerve-wracking either. but knowing that the person she loved so bad was upset with her just made suminar feel like she should spend a total of one hour in naples — in the airport, booking a flight back to atlanta.

she was confident enough to face conflict, especially now that she'd faced conflict with someone who had hurt her so deeply in the past. but that was with someone who she no longer valued the opinion they had of her.

dominic looked good when she finally spotted him. he always looked good. it was just heightened because they'd been apart for some time. and he had on a blue tank top (the one with the little red cross on it) that was showing off his arms. that were getting bigger with every gym session.

despite their tension, he still took her suitcase, still acted all gentlemanly. they drove in a bit of silence, the shades on his face making everything seem a little more awkward just because she couldn't see his eyes.

they'd randomly stopped driving at one point, with dominic pulling over at a deserted street. that's what led them to the particular moment in time — the sun beating down on them through the window of yet another expensive truck of his couldn't even aid the iciness built up in the car as a cause of their friction.

"i don't wanna get to the house with any bad blood, so... i wanna talk," he finally says.

his hands were in his lap. so were hers.

he sighs, running a hand through his curls. "were you ever gonna tell me he was at your house?"

"yes, definitely. i- jay being at my house wasn't something i wanted to say over the phone. i- i wanted to be face-to-face," she stammers, "but then you... you took me to a resort and got me a nardwuar funko pop and the bracelet and asked to be official so my brain went dumb i forgot to bring it up."

her explanation was a messy one but it was an explanation nonetheless. her nervousness wasn't going to go away anytime soon, especially when he hadn't really looked at her yet. there was another second or so of silence and right when she was going to ask him to say something, he did.

"i wouldn't have been mad with you telling me at all... it's just- it feels like you're hiding something. avoiding telling me, thanksgiving was three months ago, sumi'," he emphasises.

"i wasn't necessarily trying to avoid you, i was already avoiding him anyway. and i'm not someone who isn't trustworthy, if that's what you're getting at."

"oh my God, don't even do that," he replies back pretty quickly, running a hand over his face, "hear me out, okay? just- try to understand why i'm a little pissed off here."

suminar frowns a little bit, not at what he says but the way he says it. she didn't want the situation to get worse as a cause of her words. because she tends to be petty. if she hears a tone, cadence, word she doesn't like she'll just give up fighting. and dominic was an octave away from her giving up.

"he posted you on his story and i didn't know he was your ex, sumi'. tiny had to tell me that shit. i trust you and i trust you'd never go there but... there was this little tick in the back of my head that something could be going on that i don't know about because i wasn't aware. for a quarter of a second," he starts off.

"it's- it feels like a slap in the face from him, especially. people know we've been fucking with eachother. on like a- a global scale, that's a pretty big scale."

she runs a hand up her arm, watching him and the way he watched her. his eyes trail where her fingers go, all the way up to her shoulder and he breathes deeply. he seems to snap out of whatever it was he was in to talk again.

"and- fuck what other people have to say about shit that's between us but... i see when someone's tryna be a shitty ex. i was an asshole like- majority of my life, i've been a shitty ex. i see what he's tryna do. and despite my sobriety telling me to be the bigger person, despite the man you've made me after loving you, i would want nothing more than to punch him in his throat."

suminar hated being the cause of conflict, she hated drawing the wrong kind of attention to herself... but this wrong kind of attention... oh she was down bad for liking that sentence.

"i've never taken that lightly. ever," he shrugs, a fingernail caught between his teeth as he chews on it nervously, "if i was who i was a couple years ago, i would've gone on a drunken rant on my instagram. embarrassed myself and to be honest, you too. you didn't need me acting like an idiot, fuck that shit."

dominic seemed done with how he saw everything, because there was more silence after that. the tweeting of birds from outside this interrogation room of a car felt like mocking laughs.

fucking birds. with wings. able to fly away from all your problems, huh? save your jests, i'm already distraught. suminar thinks to herself as she sits in nothingness.

"we went shopping. all of us. after the uhmmm... the photoshoot. went to this record store..." she finally speaks up.

there was another passing moment of silence, as suminar fishes for something in her pocket. she brings it out and puts it on the dash infront of him. a guitar pick with paul mccartney's face on it.

"i saw it and thought of the song you guys made together. and thought that you'd like it..." she mumbles.

after a moment again, dominic grabs the pick and looks at it. it was orange — it looked a lot like how his album felt. which is probably something she thought of too, since she was infact so thoughtful with her gifts.

"you're at the forefront of my mind. and the back. and the bit inbetween. i—" she buries her head in her hands when she stutters, "you're all i think of. all the time. even when i was getting my closure from jay, all i thought about was... how excited you make me. and that i needed to let go of that to enjoy us."

her eyes squeeze shut as she continues to talk, "i'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner it's just- that was around the time i realised i was inlove with you and... i didn't want to think about that, the fact he avoided me, while i was with you. it wasn't fair..."

she didn't want to look at him. she actually want a pool of quicksand to appear at her feet so she could fall into and die. in actuality, people dying because of quicksand swallowing them up is very rare. so she'd still have to face this man regardless.

"what..." dominic says slowly, "how did it end?"

"uh..." she trails off so he's quick to speak up again. "we don't have to—"

"it's not a problem. it's not painful anymore," she interrupts, looking at the roof of the car as she recalls the story.

"he was making music... my interviews were blowing up to the point where i started interviewing local rappers... yachty being one of 'em, that's how we met," she cutely adds, "uh... my shit was blowing up, his kinda wasn't so he... used me for clout? and decided i was boring so he was fucking other ladies..."

dominic looks as if he just ran over a puppy when she meets his eyes once again. "that's why you don't like to talk about it..."

"he's the one that didn't talk to me. granted, it was wei who actually broke us up i couldn't face him," she explains with the most nonchalant tone ever, "but no one knew that's how it ended, that's why he got invited over by mama... and he didn't say a single word..."

"your moms invited him for thanksgiving?"

"that's how the fuck me and bella felt!" she exclaims in agreement, and he can't help but snicker slightly at her. naturally witty, like he always noticed; she didn't even have to try.

"sorry. sorry for him being a dickhead. and sorry for being dramatic," he replies, twirling the pick in circles between his fingers and watching it spin round and round.

he looks up at her to see her smiling apologetically. shrugging, she simply says, "sorry for not letting you know."

he stared at her. stared at her stared at her. the type of stare to make her lose all logical thinking. one similar to the one he gave on the podcast episode; where she was earnest and open. maybe he liked it when she was just earnest and open.

"the sun," he randomly says.

"what?" she ducks her head so her eyes move past the headboard to look at the sun then she turns her head right to look out from her window.

"you look so beautiful under the sun. the naples sun."

scowling playfully, she sinks into her seat. "it's the same sun as it's always been, fike."

"that's burning brighter all of a sudden. she must've been expecting you to come here," he argues back leaning over the console to wrap his around her neck and pull her in for a kiss.

a good kiss. one that felt like coming home... or perhaps one that is saying she'd like to make a new one. dominic intensifies it pretty quickly, tilting his head as his tongue slips into her mouth with the effortless ease that always made her kiss back.

"fuck, i love you so bad," he mumbles against her lips before pulling away, "i'm also really really worried for you to come home."

"why?"

"tends to be chaos. just a little bit, i mean- i come from a line of criminals and felons i don't think you'd be very excited to be welcomed into a home like—"

she cuts him off with a peck to his lips. "stop doing that. otherwise, we'll have another fight and be here all day."

"i wouldn't even call that a fight, i'd call it a slightly heated discussion."

"Jesus, we're some fuckin' grownups, huh?" she lets out a huff of air jokingly before dapping him up to congratulate him. ofcourse, he doesn't let go of her hand as he starts the car back up again.
