"Dominate"
It was a simple idea, he hoped she'd like it and that it would make up for disappearing earlier. Of course Dom knew that Nat would understand him needing space, he still felt bad. Arriving back at 2C, the mountain man quickly hurried into the bathroom and got a quick shower, shaving his thick month old reddish brown beard back down to a nice stubble. He changed into some dark jeans and a long sleeve black t-shirt before getting to work. First, he lay the petals of Natalya's favourite flower all over their bed and scattered them across the cool wooden floor. Next, he sat a bottle of wine in a bucket of ice on the table and lit a few scented candles that he had littered around the room with a mixture of all the smells he knew Nattie liked. He was definitely putting in the work tonight. Dominic stuffed an envelope in the back pocket of his jeans just as he heard the keys rattle in the door. Hurrying over to the coffee table, he pulled out the record player he had brought home earlier that day and slid an lp from it's packaging, placed it onto the old school stereo and dropped the needle just as Nattie walked in.
"Surprise"After saying goodbye to everyone and thanking them once again, she hugged them all with smiles and finished her small conversations then exited the club. She still reeked of alcohol and made a small, disgusting sound when she closed her car door. She didn't know where Dom had ran off to but she didn't even get a see you later or goodbye so she was a little ticked off at him right about now. Natalya drove to their apartment complex and sat in the parking lot for a few more minutes before sighing, opening the door after grabbing her purse, mask and keys out of the ignition. She huffed slightly while having to walk up the flight of stairs then was at her apartment door. She stuck the key in and turned it while pressing the door forward, opening it. When Dom said surprise, it seriously startled her. She held a hand over her heart, eyes closed as she almost had a heart attack.
"Jesus, Dom!" Her eyes glared at him then raised a brow as she closed the door, leaning against it with hr arms folded over her chest.
"Where did you go? I needed you and you weren't there. Yeah, you kicked the crap out of a guy for me but then left. What's up?" She said then asked him while waiting for a response before going on. The aroma of her favorite smells filled the air but she didn't even comment about that, right now.
"I'm sorry Nat" Dom spoke lowly as he took a step towards her.
"I lost control in there, regardless of the reason, it happened and I promised myself I wouldn't let my temper get the best of me. As long as I had you, I would be fine. But I lost it in there, Nattie, I never wanted you to see me like that" He placed a soft hand on each of her folded arms and pressed his head against hers.
"I let you down tonight, I am so so sorry" He knew no words he could ever say would be the right ones; Dominic was know fool but he hoped that Natalya being Natalya, she'd be able to let it go, not that he deserved it. She understood him more than any other person he had ever met. He needed her more than any words could do justice. A corner stone in Dominic and Natalya's relationship was their ability to communicate with each other, it's what got them to where they are. Tonight that communication failed but Dom truly hoped it was a momentary glitch, a one off that was beyond his control....or at least that's what he hoped.
Natalya sighed softly to herself as Dom explained himself. She leaned in and hugged Dom right as their heads were pressed together.
"I'm sorry. Tonight didn't go exactly as planned." She muttered while breaking the hug and looking past him at the Champagne bottle then eyed Dom. He had changed clothes and even shaved and she was just now noticing it. There was even a small tune being played, too. Natalya opened her mouth slightly to speak but no words came out.
"Uhm.." Her eyes glanced at Dom, raising a slight brow.
"What's going on?" She bit her bottom lip a little nervously before grabbing his hand and walking a few inches towards the Champagne. She still reeked of alcohol and just wanted to shower and put on something else to wear.
"Let me go shower really quick and change." She muttered as she ran into the bedroom, seeing her favorite flower scattered across the floor and all over the bed. She turned to raise a brow at Dom, slipping out of her dress right before him then kicking the door shut. Natalya liked to tease him a little bit. She quickly showered and washed her hair then slipped into yellow t-shirt and black pants, walking out of the room and standing behind Dom, wrapping her arms around his waist while placing her chin upon his shoulder.
"So, now what?" She whispered in a sultry tone.
"Like you said, tonight didn't go as planned. This is my way of making up for it"Dom watched with his tired hazel eyes as Nattie rushed into their bedroom to change. She still reeked from all the booze that dick Eddy had poured all over her. Bless her heart, today was supposed to be her day. It wasn't fair, it just wasn't. It was going to take all of Dominic's control not to lash out again if he saw Edgar. He chuckled lightly as Natalya dropped the once beautiful green dress she wore earlier and closed the door behind her.
"You're a tease, Natalya Olsen! I love you!" He called just before the shower started running. Dimming the lights slightly, Dom finished lighting all of the candles and then took out a few nibbles from the cupboard he had hidden away. Just little bowls of Nattie's favourite snacks littered across their table, he quickly switched the song as he heard her get out of the shower. He ust wanted everything to be perfect.

"What now? Well if you check my back pocket, you'll find four tickets in there for next weekend. You, me and a couple of our choosing will be heading to the Fillmore to see City and Colour" Turning into her embrace, Dominic scooped Nat into his large arms and held her there, just looking into her eyes.
"As for right now, for one night only, you Miss Olsen, get to hear me sing. I didn't get to do it on karaoke:
I wish I could do better by you,
cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.
While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl"Natalya reached into his back pocket and saw the tickets then heard his words.
"Oh, Dom, you know how to make me happy." She said with a slight snicker then eyed him with widened eyes when he said that he was going to sing.
"You don't have to..." But she was cut off when Dom started to sing anyway. She didn't know whether to laugh or what to do. Instead she placed the tickets on the table then walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, gazing into his eyes and slowly started swaying with the music.
"Dominic Mason..." She purred softly into his ear then went back to looking into his eyes.
"I love you so much." Natalya said while continuing to sway her hips and body to the music, waiting for Dom to say something and hopes that he doesn't sing it - Though, his singing voice wasn't as bad as she had thought.
Dom stopped singing and looked into her beautiful brown eyes and smiled.
"I love you too" He leaned and turned both their smiles into a deep kiss. She tasted divine, she always did. God he missed how she tasted, how she smelt, how she felt and everything in-between.
"One last surprise....well not really a surprise but you know" Dominic grinned suggestively as he slowly peeled off her shirt and soon his own, taking her hand and leading her into the bedroom for her final present.
