Maybe we should take some time
'Cause nothing's coming out right
I don't wanna see this side to us, yeah
'Cause that's the fussing, or the fighting
And the borderline crying
Getting us closer to the finish line, oh - Gallant, Sleep on it
Dominic Jones
"Success is the ability to do what you love every day. This may sound simple but what you love changes over time and having the ability to change what you are doing to match your passion is true success. This has nothing to do with money, wealth or status as each person has different passions and loves." Dom told Kia
After being released from the hospital, Dom and Kia went back to the hotel until it was time for them to check out. Once they did they packed and drove to his parents house where they will be staying until they figure something out. Right now Dom was sitting on the bed, searching for jobs. Kia asked him what success meant to him.
"Success is an attitude and state of mind where I feel the exhilaration of knowing that I made a difference for many, did this doing what I love, and making a lot of money in the process so I get to experience many things in this extraordinary world. The most important part of success is a deep knowing that I made a difference for others." Dom added never taking his eyes of the computer screen
"But your not doing nothing but stressing yourself out Dom. You just got out of the hospital for God's sake."
Dom ignored her and continued to scroll. "Look at me Damnit!" She yelled hopping off of the bed
He sat the laptop to the side, sitting up against the headboard he gave Kia his undivided attention.
"Dom I love you, I really do but I refuse to watch you work yourself to death– literally."
"I'm tired K, I'm sick and tired of being tired– if that makes sense. I'm not even looking for all the fame and shit no more. I'm just trying to put us back on track you know."
He turned back around and picked the laptop back up. "You know what– nevermind." Kia mumbled. She slid her slides on, walking towards the dresser she grabbed the car keys. "Your love for me should be stronger than your damn pride Dominic. I'll see you later."
"Where you going?" Dom looked up and frowned
"I'm going to my parents house for a few hours." Kia blinked her eyes
"I love you Kia." He mumbled looking back down
He heard her scoff, before hearing the door shut. Dom shook his head and looked at his parents dog who was staring at him smiling.
"I wish she'll understand where I'm coming from Coco." Coco nodded sticking her tounge out
"You don't understand what I'm talking about, no you don't." He cooed rubbing her head
Dom sat the laptop to the side and stood to his feet. Grabbing his suit case that had their dirty clothes in it, he grabbed the dirty clothes hamper and dumped them in there.
"Come on Coco." He said picking the basket up
Coco barked and they walked out of the room and walked downstairs.
