This started as a one shot and now I'm not sure whether to leave it as is or keep it going. Leave me your thoughts in a review.
Dom's POV
I sighed heavily as I leant against my car. It was Friday night, which meant it was race night. I'd raced, won and now I was just sitting here bored. A month ago I would be pumped up and enjoying myself but lately I was over the party scene.
"Hey Dom." A chaser flirted as she and a friend strutted past me. I briefly gave her a sideways glance before focusing my attention back to the current race. Not only was I not feeling the races, I wasn't feeling the girls either. I was starting to worry that I had gone one too many rounds with the skanks and what they'd been saying for years was finally happening, that my dick was going to drop off.
'You had no trouble getting it to work with a certain brunette.'
"You good?" Vince asked me as he settled beside me suddenly, jolting me out of my thoughts
"Not feeling it tonight."
"Again?" He asked seriously. I said nothing, just shrugged in response.
"Okay seriously, what's wrong with you? It's been like a month since you started with this shit. You haven't even looked sideways at a chick." He asked seriously.
"Just not feeling it." I repeated.
"Bull shit."
"Whatever V, I'm heading home. No party, tell Hector to hold it again."
"You're seriously bailing?" He asked me shocked.
"Yeah. I mean it V no party or I will knock you out." I threatened as I pulled myself away from the bonnet of my car, walking around to the driver's seat.
"You gotta get yourself out of this funk Dom." He warned as he walked away shaking his head.
I slammed the car door shut behind me, barely pausing to lock it up before I made my way up the path to the front door. It was unlocked, something that I immediately frowned at. Mia should know better then to leave it unlocked when she's here alone.
Walking in I noted that the lights where on and I could hear noises coming from the kitchen. I shut the door, kicking my boots off before making my way into the kitchen. I paused in the entry way, taking in the scene before me. She was back.
Letty had been gone for nearly two weeks, away visiting her relatives in the Dominican. She wasn't due back for another week but yet here she was in my kitchen doing the dishes.
"Um hi." I spoke up lamely as I took her in. Her head snapped up in surprise, her eyes meeting mine from across the room.
"Hey, sorry I didn't hear you come in." She smiled slightly before turning back to what she had been doing.
"You're back early." I said as I walked further into the room, picking up the tea towel before I joined her at the sink.
"Yeah, a fight broke out between my uncles at my cousin's wedding. The whole family reunion thing was kinda a bust. Thought I may as well come home early." She said as she shrugged, handing me a clean dish. I took it, taking the time to wipe it clean before I set it aside.
"It's been pretty quiet around here without you." I said quietly.
"With you boys, I doubt that. You're back from the races early, why?" She asked with a frown.
"Wasn't feeling it." I muttered as I continued to dry up each dish Letty would pass me.
"Again?" She asked as she looked me over. I guess I had used that excuse one too many times.
"You sound like Vince." I muttered annoyed.
"I'm just worried, are you sure you're okay?" She asked, looking me over seriously.
"Fine. Just not feeling the races right now." I shrugged.
We said nothing else as we continued to work together side by side until we had finished. Letty helped me put the dishes away, reaching up on tip toes to put the plates away. I shook my head, stepping up behind her as I took them off her and set them on the shelf.
"Thanks." She mumbled as I stepped back, letting her close the cupboard.
"You're welcome."
"Wanna corona?" She asked as she headed for the fridge.
"Sure, thanks. Where's Mia?" I asked as I realised I had yet to see or hear my sister.
"Study group, she was just leaving home when I arrived. Said she'd be home late, that they had a test to cram for." I nodded, smiling in thanks as I accepted my beer. Silence engulfed us yet again as we sat side by side at the kitchen table.
"Somethings up with you man." She spoke up suddenly and I sighed, flicking the label on my beer.
"Problems at the Garage?"
"Nah nothing like that."
"Trouble at the races?" She asked and I shook my head.
"No, I dunno just not feeling the scene like I used to." She raised an eyebrow at me and I smiled, giving her a small shrug.
"Getting old Toretto." She joked.
"Yeah must be it." I joined her a I took a drink.
"Never thought I'd see the day where you didn't want to race." She spoke slowly as she shook her head in disbelief.
"The racing bit is fine, still in love with racing it's just the rest of the scene." She frowned, her corona midway to her lips, which made me zoom in on them before I caught myself and turned away.
"The scene?" She asked.
"The parties, the girls… I'm getting tired of it all." I supplied as I shrugged, knocking back the rest of my beer before I got up to get another. I gestured for Letty and she nodded as I grabbed two more out, popping the tops off both of them, setting one down in front of her before I fell heavily into my seat with a sigh.
"Damn you must be sick." She joked.
"Shut up." I mumbled playfully as I flicked the beer cap at her.
"Are you swearing off skanks?" She asked me seriously.
"Letty when was the last time I brought a girl home? When was the last time you saw me with one?" She shrugged looking away as an awkward silence settled over us.
"A month. That's how long its been." I supplied for her and she stiffened but shook her head.
"No wonder you're moody." She tried brushing off and I let out a snort in response.
"Funny." I rolled my eyes before taking a long drink of my beer.
"I know we haven't spoken about it but… does what happened with us have something to do with your mood?" I paused mid drink as she asked. I refused to meet her gaze as I went back to playing with the label on the bottle.
"Dom?" She pushed and I sighed, finally lifting my head to meet her gaze.
"Yeah it does." I finally confessed.
"I'm so-"
"Don't say your sorry." I cut her off suddenly. She snapped her mouth shut and watched me while I struggled to figure out what I wanted to say.
"I don't regret that night." She raised an eyebrow at my honesty.
"Really?" She asked unsure.
"Really." I fired back as she bit her lip.
'I want to bite that lip.' I thought darkly as I let my eyes stray once more to her mouth.
"In fact I'd very much like a repeat." I mumbled as I sagged back in my chair watching her face for a reaction. Her eyes widened slightly but that was her only tell that my words had shocked her.
"You regret it?" I asked after a long period of her not speaking. She shook her head but still remained silent.
"I walk into the races two days after that night and you know what happened?" She shook her head and I smiled.
"Not a single girl appealed to me suddenly. I felt nothing. I thought it was just a phase, but after two weeks I convinced myself I was broken. I tried, trust me. Nothing. For the first time I couldn't perform." I kept talking watching her watch me.
"It was bound to happen one day." She joked meekly.
"So you know what I did?" I asked again as if she had never spoken.
"What?" She asked quietly, I could see the small red tinge setting into her cheeks and it made me smile.
"I thought of you, what we did, how you felt… surprised the shit of me when it worked. I left her high and dry and tailed it out of there as fast as I could." She swallowed nervously as I lent forward onto the table.
"I quickly realised I'm not interested in anyone else anymore. What I felt with you is more then I have ever felt with anyone else. The last two weeks have sucked without you here." I finished quietly.
She opened her mouth to say something before stopping. I raised an eyebrow at her and she frowned.
"I don't know what to say." She whispered.
"I just poured my heart to you and now you're speechless?" I asked jokingly. She gave me a small smile and shrugged.
"I wasn't prepared for that, what you just said. You acted like it never happened, I just assumed it was water under the bridge."
"No I haven't forgotten, I revisit that night quite frequently." I smirked at her as she gasped in shock.
"Dom." She blushed.
"Oh come on Letty, is it really so hard to believe?" I asked quietly.
"Yes, you're king of the streets. You can get any girl you want with a snap of your fingers and now you're sitting here telling me you want me? A sixteen year old? Forgive me for stuggling to accept it." She shook her head in confusion. I frowned as I moved our forgotten beers aside and grabbed her hand from across the table.
"Letty, I am being one hundred percent honest with you. This is not a game and you're age doesn't matter to me anymore. I want you. The question is what do you want?" I asked her.
"You. I've always wanted you, you know that..." She shrugged.
"But?" I asked sensing there was one coming.
"Give me time to process this." She asked and I nodded, squeezing her hand before I stood up and let her go.
"You know where to find me when you're ready." I said, watching as she nodded.
I left it at that and left the room, heading up the stairs and into my own. Ball was in her court now.
