Bittersweet Memories III

Natasha was on edge, she had not seen Dom all morning, and not it was already 6pm and it was getting dark outside, she knew that he had went out, maybe to clear his head, but she did not know where he had gone to.

They needed to talk, she needed to talk to him badly, because they needed to find out who did this, she had not been able to do anything all day, she just felt so horrible, they were both drugged, just who would do that to them? They did not deserve that at all.

Natasha was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the front door open and close with a THUD from downstairs as she ran down the stairs, Dom was back home, and she hoped that he had calmed down now.

"Dom…" called Natasha as she walked to towards the direction of the front door.

"Dom, is that you?" asked Natasha as she walked to the front door, and there Dom was, looking very distraught.

"Dom we need to talk" said Natasha as she sighed as Dom turned away from her, he refused to look at her.

"Dom, look we need to talk, I don't know what happened this morning but…" said Natasha as she was cut off.

"Get out of my way" said Dom as he turned and he cut Natasha off as she was left in surprise.

"What?" she asked as she was not sure that she had heard him right.

"I said get out of my way" said Dom as this time he sounded colder, Natasha was in shock, she had never heard Dom speak to her that way before, his voice was always soft and gentle but now it was cold, and distant.

"Dom, I get that you are upset but we need to get to the bottom of this we were drugge…" said Natasha as she was cut off once again.

"Don't make me repeat myself Natasha, get out of my way" said Dom as he was not listening to her at all.

"Dom, don't be like that, don't be upset with me, I am just as clueless as you, I… I don't know what happened last night but…" said Natasha as Dom pushed her away from his way as she was in surprised, he pushed her away like she was some piece of trash.

"Dom, you can't… you can't be angry at me I did nothing wrong, I don't know how we were drugged" said Natasha as Dom stopped in his tracks as she spoke, she had never had him treat her this coldly before, it hurt her, but she knew that he was angry, he had every right to be, she was angry as well, Dom would have never done anything like that on a normal day.

"We are both victims here, someone… someone did something to our food, I don't know if it was the wine, or the food, but I know that someone else entered the kitchen when I was not paying attention or something" said Natasha as she explained and Dom turned to look at her, all she wanted was for him to no longer be upset with her, so they could get to the bottom of this together.

Dom scoffed as Natasha wondered what was wrong with him, Dom scoffed at himself, for believing her little innocent act, if not for the fact that he had seen the security footage himself, he would have fell for her hook, line and sinker, she behaved as If she did not plan this whole thing.

"Dom… say something, I don't understand…" said Natasha as she was confused, Dom's behaviour made no sense at all, he was not listening to her, and worst of all he was not being considerate, he was acting like she wanted that to happen, she did not know about him, but what happened last night was the last thing on her mind, in all sincerity, she felt angry at herself for not snapping out of the daze she was in, on time, she would have been able to keep herself, but no, and to make matters worse, Dom was not helping at all.

"What don't you understand Natasha?" asked Dom as he scoffed and he looked at Natasha.

"I don't understand…" said Natasha.

"Natasha, stop with your little saint act" said Dom as Natasha had many questions written in her eyes.

"Of course you understand, you planned this entire thing" said Dom.

"What??" asked Natasha in disbelief, just what was he saying?? Was he drunk?? No, it did not seem like it, his eyes were not red and she could not smell alcohol on him, and besides he never drank, not ever, so he was as sober as sober could be.

"Don't play dumb with me Natasha, at least man up to it and admit that you did it" said Dom as he scoffed.

"Dom, I don't get you, what are you trying to say?" asked Natasha.

"What else Natasha, you must be very proud of yourself, of all the things you could have done… why did you have to drug me?" asked Dom.

"Dom!, I don't get you, I will never do that, why would you say that?" asked Natasha as she raised her voice, she was being wrongly accused by Dom, who was her so called husband, didn't he know her well enough to think that she would be capable of doing such a despicable thing?

"You know me Dom, I would Never, ever. Drug you" said Natasha with all sincerity.

"You know what Natasha; I don't think that I know you all that well" said Dom as Natasha felt like her heart was shattering.

"Dom… " called Natasha.

"Don't call me Dom like that" said Dom.

"My only regret is that I thought I was marrying a good woman, and not a woman that was so devious as to use any means possible to get what she wanted" said Dom as he looked at Natasha with disgust, he felt violated, and he was the man here, he was drugged, he wondered what exactly her plan was??? Was it to get pregnant and tie him down forever with her? He could not think straight what he just found out earlier today broke his heart, he had trusted her, more than anyone else.

"Dom don't..." said Natasha as she felt like crying, why was he saying such awful things to her.

"Save it Natasha, I am not going to listen to your nonsense" said Dom a he turned around and he walked away, but before he could take another step Natasha reached out and she grabbed his hand.

"Dom, don't do this… please don't be angry… I… I didn't do anything, you have to believe me Dom, believe me… I would never do such a thing, please believe me" said Natasha as her voice came out like a whisper.

Dom frowned, in the past he would have believed her, after all he had always believed her, she was Natasha, the good little angel, who turned out to be a devil, he would be stupid to fall for her pleas.

"You know, the greatest mistake of my life was marrying you" said Dom coldly, as Natasha felt like her already broken heart had shattered into tinier pieces as Dom stepped on those pieces and crushed them into dust.

"Save your pleas for someone who would actually believe you, because my eyes are opened" said Dom as he pulled his hand out from her grip.

"Don't talk to me, don't call me, I don't want to ever see you again" said Dom as he walked away and he left Natasha standing there as he walked up the stairs and he closed the door to his office with a THUD.

Natasha stood there, as tears fell from her eyes and she fell down to the ground, he had done more than broken her heart, he crushed it, why wouldn't he believe her? She did nothing wrong at all nothing at all, why did he not believe her.

Natasha fell on her knees as more tears dropped from her eyes and she began to cry, to think that the one man in her life that she actually loved… her big brother, her third best friend hated her… she had never heard so much hate in his tone before… it broke her on the inside.

Natasha broke down in tears as she could not control herself, she felt terrible, she did not know what to do at all, the worst thing that could happen had happened, Dom did not believe her, he saw her as this dubious woman, and she was not.

Natasha's mind was in shambles, right now, she felt like dying, she did not know what to do, the only thing that she would think of was to call the only person that came in mind.

Natasha removed her phone from her back pocket as she was still crying, while teary eyed, she dialed a number as it was picked up almost instantly.

"Grandfather I…" said Natasha as she broke down into tears.

"Natasha… Natasha, what is the matter?" asked Ernest as his voice came from the other side of the line.

"Grandfather… Dom… he…" said Natasha as she could not finish her sentences she was crying too much.

"What happened to Dominic?" asked Ernest in a panic.

"I… I…" said Natasha as she cried even more, she tried to make out words, but all her words came out incoherent as her sobs drowned out her voice.

"Where are you Natasha, are you at home?" asked Ernest.

"Yes Grandfather I…am" said Natasha as she cried.

"Alright, stay where you are don't move at all, I am on my way okay?" asked Ernest.

"Okay" said Natasha as she nodded her head as she cried and Ernest ended the call, Natasha hugged her knees as she rested her back on the wall as she cried and she buried her face in her knees, she felt awful.
