[center]It felt good to be in an actual bed again. Since for the past month he had been in a sleeping bag in a snow cave, the change to a mattress and a duvet sure was a welcome one. Dominic slept like a log that night, it was unusual for him since he wasn’t the biggest sleeper in the world as it was. Maybe it was the bed? Maybe it was having Natalya next to him and not some big hairy dude called Goldberg. Whatever it was, Dom had slept great despite the events of the other evening. Oh God, he had to deal with the fallout….maybe he should just try and stay in bed, avoid all the drama for as long as he possibly could. As the thoughts drifted through the mountain man’s still groggy head like a snowstorm, he was alerted by a chime on his phone.[/center]

[center][b]From: The Mrs
[color=7f8ef0]Good Morning, babe. I stepped out for a bit. See you soon. xoxoxo[/color][/b][/center]

[center]Looked like Nat was off doing her morning rituals; good. Meant Dom could enjoy this new invention called a bed for just a little longer. The pillow and covers were all warm and snugly wrapped around his thick body. Nope. Not happening. He refused to move. The big bear of the group of misfit toys was now in hibernation.[/center]

[center]Dominic was still fast asleep when Natalya headed off again. When he awoke, he checked his phone; another message from that, this one was in their group chat.[/center]

[center][b]To: The Mrs
[color=7f8ef0]Okay, guys. Already heading to Ryan's so one of you better be there. :*[/color][/b][/center]

[center]Ryan’s? Good call future Mrs Mason, Dom was hungry and was ready to eat a horse! He had tried horse once….would not recommend. Getting up out of bed, finally, Dom headed into the bathroom to make himself look somewhat presentable for his friends. His stubble had grown to a nice length in the week since he shaved off his beard and he had cut his hair slightly shorter too. After washing his face and cleaning his teeth, the shower summoned him into a watery embrace. The Minnesota man’s showers were always piping hot. Once Nattie had tried to jump in with him for some fun but as soon as the aqua had touched her skin, she slapped Dom and ran off believing she now had third degree burns. It took hours to work his way back into her good books after that one.[/center]

[center]Emerging from the bathroom, he took his phone from its charger and looked at the bombardment of notifications he had received;[/center]

[color=82ca9d]Doc may be late for lunch, seems she chose to eat dessert first. ~Image~[/color]

[color=f9ad81]Fo sho. I'll be there.[/color]
[color=#c5f1d0]Be at Ryans in 10, and by lunch you mean breakfast right?[/color]
[color=a187be]Hey everyone, listen something came up last minute; Echo and I won't make it to lunch, sorry :( Will fill you in later.[/color]
[color=wheat]Hey everyone! I'll be there, I just need to figure some stuff out.[/color][/center]

[center]Throwing his phone back onto the bed, Dom shook his head with a smile. [b][color=brown]”I have too many friends”[/color][/b] Turning on the new record player he had gotten for Nat, he placed The Replacements onto the deck and began to look for something decent to wear. Simple clothes for a simple guy. Big Mountain settled for some jeans and a form fitting black polo shirt. He styled his hair as he always did before making sure he had his wallet, keys, phone and spare pills. Once his morning medication ritual was over, he headed out into the big wide world.

This would be the first time the group had been together fully since Nattie’s birthday. The worry was starting to set in for Dom now. He had flew off of the handle when it all went down, no doubt scaring some of his friends. They had never seen him like that before, he knew it must’ve ben scary. This would be an interesting day for sure. Arriving at Ryan’s, Dom opened the door expecting to be greeted with silence but in the stead of quiet he saw Nat conversing with Ed of all people. What the fuck? Did she know him? Had he beat the shit out of one of her friends for a joke? What?[/center]

[center]Approaching the table, Dominic placed his hand on Nat’s shoulder. [b][color=brown]”Sorry I’m late babe”[/color][/b]

Here we go.[/center]
