Together

"We need to talk Natasha, seriously we need to, right now" said Dom as Natasha seemed to be very annoyed as she frowned at him.

"Well you can talk if you want to" said Natasha as she replied to him and she paid no attention to him as she walked to sit on the queen sized bed in her room as her hair was wet and she was in a white bathrobe, she had taken a shower.

"Natasha, how long are you going to keep on acting like this?" asked Dom as he sighed and he looked at her.

"Like what?" asked Natasha as she looked like she did not know what he was talking about as she drank glass of orange juice that was on the bed side table as she looked at her phone.

"Like a child" said Dom.

"I am not a child, and neither are you as well, so if you only came to my room to annoy me with your voice, then please leave, because I seriously am not in the mood for an useless arguments" said Natasha as she looked at Dom.

"And I am not in the mood for your childishness as well Natasha" said Dom as he sighed, he felt like she was impossible, yes she was.

"Hmm well in that case Mr. White, the door is right there, if you want to leave then be my guest" said Natasha as she smiled and she pointed to the door and Dom was busy wondering how things got to this?

"We have not seen each other in three months, and you suddenly show up in another city, with a group of three strange men, do you know how strange this all looks Natasha?" asked Dom.

"Well I don't think it is any of your business what I do with my life" said Natasha.

"Oh it is, because you are my wife" said Dom as he narrowed his eyes at her as Natasha laughed in a mocking way.

"We were never husband and wife, that's the truth, do you know how many times that you have said that?? And now I truly agree with you, so you cannot play that card on me Dominic White" said Natasha as she said his name with contempt.

"You know what fine Natasha, fine" said Dom as Natasha paid no attention to him as she dialled a number on her phone as she put her phone to her ear as she smiled.

Dom looked at her, she looked completely different when she smiled, unlike when she spoke to him with so much disgust and anger. Dom realized that she had cut her hair short, her ginger once long hair, was now wavy and short as strands of her ginger hair touched her shoulders.

"Hello Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled as her call was picked up.

"Hello Madam" came Alfred's happy voice from the other side of the line.

"How are you Madam?" asked Alfred as he smiled.

"I am good Alfred, and how are you?" asked Natasha as she smiled and she ignored Dom as he looked around and Natasha's laptop on the nearby table caught his eye as he looked at her laptop screen, she was searching for information of the soiree.

"I am good too Madam" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Alfred, is Joy asleep?" asked Natasha as she smiled.

"Yes Madam, she finally went to sleep when Margaret read her a bedtime story" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Alright" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Alfred, I need you to please do something for me Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Anything Madam, just say it and I will do it" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Alfred, I will not be able to make it back in time for Joy's birthday tomorrow" said Natasha as she sighed.

"Oh what a shame Madam, Joy was really looking forward to her birthday" said Alfred as he sighed.

"Yes I know, and believe me, it pains me so much that I won't be there for her 5th birthday" said Natasha as she sighed.

"But there is something important that I need to finish over here first" said Natasha.

"It is alright Madam, I am sure that Joy will understand" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Alfred, I need you to please give Joy her birthday present from me on my behalf" said Natasha.

"Alright Madam, I will do it" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Thank you Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled.

"In my room at home, under my bed, there is a little wooden box that is locked, the key is in my dressing table drawer, please open the box, and in there you will see her present wrapped in yellow gift paper with a birthday card" said Natasha.

"Alright Madam, you do not need to worry, I will do as you have asked" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Oh thank you Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled.

"You are welcome Madam, I will just ask Michael to drive me back home first thing tomorrow morning before Joy wakes up" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Oh Alfred, you are the best, thank you, thank you" said Natasha as she smiled, Alfred could have said no, but he didn't, and she really appreciated that.

"Is that Alfred?" asked Dom as Natasha turned to look at him, she had forgotten that he was still here.

"Can you please give me your phone, I need to speak to him, my phone died, and it's charging in my room" said Dom as he explained and Natasha seemed to be contemplating.

"Fine" said Natasha as she stood up and she gave her phone to Dom as he put it to his hear and she walked to the small table as she sat down and she worked on her laptop.

"Hello Alfred" said Dom.

"Young Master??!!" asked Alfred as he was just about to fall down from his seat as he got a hold of himself. To say that he was in total shock would be an understatement.

"Yes it's me" said Dom as he looked at Natasha as she was busy typing away.

"Oh my…" said Alfred.

"Alfred, I need you to call my Secretary, she needs to cancel my appointments for tomorrow, I would call her myself but she's on leave, and I know that you have her phone number with you" said Dom.

"Alright Young Master, I will do as you have asked" said Alfred as he was still trying to calm himself down, but his head was racing, Natasha… and Dom were in the same room?? Together in another town??

"Thank you Alfred, and oh and please tell my mother that I won't be able to make it back home in time for Joy's birthday, I know that she will be asleep by now, I will call her in the morning" said Dom.

"Alright Young Master I will" said Alfred, Dom could not go anywhere even if he wanted to, now that he knew Natasha was here, he was going to stay here.

"Umm, Young Master" called Alfred.

"Yes Alfred" said Dom.

"Are you and the Madam together?" asked Alfred as he phrased his words carefully.

"Yes we are" replied Dom simply.

"Alright young Master, it is getting late now, so Goodnight" said Alfred.

"Goodnight Alfred" said Dom as Alfred ended the call.

"The Madam and the Young Master together??? In the same room, oh my, I need to tell the Master now, I need to tell him" said Alfred as he was overjoyed and confused, but relieved at the same time as he rushed out of the room.

"Thank you for letting my use your phone" said Dom as he walked to where Natasha was sitting and he gave her back her phone.

"Hmm" replied Natasha as soon there was a deadly silence between them, she was wondering just why he was still here? Didn't he have his own room as well? Then he should have left by now.

"You want to attend that soiree, don't you?" asked Dom as Natasha did not reply to him, the truth was yes, she wanted to attend the soiree, but it was very exclusive, she doubted that she would be able to get in, it was invite only, and that was what was stopping her from meeting this Clark guy, or whatever his real name was.

"Well I happened to be invited to that gathering" said Dom as Natasha looked at him with a mix of disbelief and well confusion.

"You are lying" she said.

"No I am not, I was sent an invitation last week, but I wasn't going to attend" said Dom casually, he did not want miss Joy's birthday, and apart from that, those gatherings were just for the rich to flaunt, which he disliked greatly.

"But now that I was unable to receive the company's shipment, I will have to stay here longer than planned, and I don't see why I shouldn't attend as well" said Dom as he explained and Natasha seemed to be thinking.

"I am invited, and I can take a plus one with me, you can come with me if you want" said Dom.

Natasha was in deep thought, this was a very hard opportunity to pass up, Dom was offering her something that she actually needed, here she was cracking her head on how she was going to attend this thing, and yet there Dom was, he was invited.

"What do you want in return?" asked Natasha as she looked at Dom, she was not stupid at all, she would be stupid to think that he would be offering to take her along just out of a good heart.

"I won't ask you why you are here, or who you are looking for, I will leave you be but…" said Dom as he paused.

"All that I ask is that you let me come along with you" said Dom very simply.

"Because I don't know if you realize it or not Natasha, but this whole thing, the way you are acting right now is Crazy, and I don't trust you at all, so let me come along with you" said Dom as that was the only reasonable explanation that he could think of.

"Hmm" said Natasha as she was thinking, if she did not know him all too well, she would have thought he was a saint or an angel, but he always did everything in his own favour, so as long as he could keep track of her, he would be fine.

Natasha did not want to be controlled or watched or tracked, but she had no other choice, he was offering her a great help, and this time she was going to get what she wanted.

"Fine… you have yourself a deal" said Natasha.

"Thank you" said Dom as he sighed in relief, at least he could rest at ease now, and he was sure that he would find out what Natasha was up to sooner or later.

"Hmm" said Natasha as she knew she was making a mistake by letting him in, even if it was only little, but when you needed help, you would not really care in the end, so as long as you got what you wanted.
