Chapter two:
I woke up to an empty bed. As I dress up I could hear the guy's laughs from downstairs. Everyone was in the living room, everyone except Dom. I went to the kitchen to get something to eat, as I made myself some coffee I saw a shadow from my right, I jumped as I realized it was Dom.
-Stop doing that- I said with my hand on my chest. I continued to prepare myself some breakfast until he spoke.
-Did you have a great time last night? - He asked.
- Yes, in fact, we had a really good time. - I said while I looked at him. It seems he didn't catch up any sleep last night, you can see some dark circles under his eyes. I left my cup in the sink and went to sit on his lap; I grab his chin so he would face me.
-I love you, do you know that, right?- he first seems surprised because I don't say those three words very often but then he smiled and nodded- So, if you know, why do you not trust me?-
-Of course, I trust you. Why would you say something like that?-
-Every time Travis name is pronounced you act like I going to cheat on you- I said while I play with his fingers- he is just a really good friend of mine and yes he is my ex-boyfriend but I don't have feelings for him anymore - I make a pause- I'm with you now and that's all I truly care about- I looked him in the eyes.
-I love you and trust you- he said- but I do not trust him that's all-
-But you do not have to trust him you have to trust me, I'm your girlfriend- I said starting to get irritated- When all the girls approach you when we're out I do not worry about it, because I believe in you- I paused-and you should start to have the same faith in me too -
-I have faith in you, Letty- he said.
-Really? Because it doesn't seem like you do-
-It's just...- he sighs-I don't want to lose you- he told me in a sad tone.
- I'm not going anywhere- I hug him-I promise-I kissed the back of his head. He doesn't give himself an idea of how much he means to me. I love him with every inch of my body; he is one of the best persons I had ever known, the kind that makes people want to be the best of them every day. He started to leave kisses on my neck.
-My God, can you do that in private? - I heard Vince say.
-If you go out and close the door, it would be private for us two- Dom answered him while I laughed.
-Anyway, we should get going to the garage, Mr. Robbins will be there with his car in a little while- Vince said as he gets out of the kitchen.
-I can't believe I'm going to say this but he is right- Dom told me.
-I'm always right darling- we heard Vince scream. We both laugh about how silly our friend is.
I got up and we head to the garage.
It was the hottest days of the year I can say without a doubt, I had never sweat so much in my entire life. I look up at the clock; finally, seven o'clock time to go home.
-Seven o'clock guys time to get out of this hell- I shouted.
-Fuck yeah- Leon said while emptying a bottle of water on top of his head.
I laughed, we were all really tired, this week has been full of work; fortunately, the garage made some new clients that means more work and at the same time more money that we need. I walked past the guys to the office were Dom was, as I came in I saw an irritated look on his face, something isn't right.
-Hey- I said. He turned around and forces a smile.
-Hey-he looked at the clock on the wall- it's time to go home- he sounded upset and I can give clue what was it at the second I saw all those papers on the desk. Bills.
-Are they that bad? - I asked while I sit on his lap.
-Yeah- he started to touch my back- I don`t know where I'm going to take the money off-
- I got some savings you can borrow- I said while I started to leave kisses on the side of his head.
-There's no way I'm letting my girl pay my bills- he told me with a serious tone.
-They are OUR bills, it's my problem too- I said- it's just a couple of thousands, you will give it back to me when you can, I don't even need the money-
-I will find a way to solve it without borrowing money from anyone-
- But for now it's a way out, I will give to you when we get home…-
-NO- he said as he forced me to look in his eyes-I will get the money by myself, don't worry about it-he finished as he kissed the top of my head.
I hate when he doesn't let me help him with bills and I'm not the only one, he doesn't let any of the guys help either, we are a family we are supposed to deal with problems together but his ego is too big to admit he needs help. But of course that are many things he doesn't know so I will just make it seems like I have given up on the subject.
-Fine- I said- let's go home-
On the car on our way home, we talked as nothing has happened as we always do when the bills subject comes in. When we get home I head upstairs to have a shower and the guys stood I the leaving room playing video games. As I entered the room I saw someone standing in front of the mirror I recognized him for his tattoos.
-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?-
-You're always so warming Let- he said while he sits on the bed.
-Travis, what the fuck crossed your mind to come in here and how in the hell did you break in my room? - I asked him while I close the door after I check there's no one near.
-We have problems- he said- He is recruiting new people for some dirty shit-
-Yeah I know, we talked about this last night, I don't see the problem on it-I said as I opened the shower.
-Well, you better look at this- he said as he passed me a paper with a lot of names on it.
-What's this? - I asked as I read a bunch of names I didn't know how they were.
-Turned it around-
I did as he told me and I read.
Vincent Martin
León Lucas González
Jesse Apees
Dominic Toretto
Leticia Ortiz
Mia Toretto
-What the fuck is this? Why are our names in here? - I almost shouted.
-Jesse came by this afternoon and he asked a solicitation to subscript you guys to the program- I couldn't stop reading the names – he said you were having problems to pay your bills and that you are willing to do whatever it takes to gain some money- I was feeling sick and he must notice it because he grab me and make me sit down.
- He didn't see you guys, right? - I asked
- Of course no, we know that if he sees us in there he would tell you and Dominic- I sighed in relief-we send Delco to persuade him of not doing it, he even told Jesse that we were full of people but the boss arrived and take the case in his hands-
-What's that supposed to me? - I asked getting worried. I haven't seen Jesse in all day my mind started to picture the worst stage.
-He assures him that is team would have a place at the program- he looked at me- and he knows you are a part of that team; he knows exactly how they are and their relationship with you-
-What?-I couldn't believe what he was saying- What kind of twisted game is he playing?-
-I don't know but Jesse is on his way back and you have to make sure they do not a accept this jobs because if they do … it will be the end of the game.-
I have to make sure we don't accept this but I don't know how we need the money and Dom will see this as the perfect opportunity to show me he can solve this by himself. I know that this was a risk of getting involved with him but I never really expected this to happened.
-I don't know what I'm going to do- I said with some desperation.
-Try to persuade them of not doing it and I and the others will try to deny the admission Jesse solicited-he told me.
I heard footsteps on the stairs and I ran towards the door to lock it while Travis went out the window, as I looked him ride his Harley-Davidson I heard Dom knocking the door.
-Hey-I said as I opened the door.
-Hey, why was the door lock… hey, are you okay? You look pale baby- he asked as he grabs me by my waist.
-Yeah, I'm fine, I'm tired that all- I said while forcing a smile.
-You sure that's all? - I nodded-Alright; Jesse is home he wants to tell us something really important so he demands your presence downstairs- he said while he took the hair out of my face.
-What's that so important he has to tell us? - I said praying he would not notice the nervousness in my voice.
-I don't know he refused to talk until we are all present- he answered.
-So let's go and found out what he wants- I said trying to sound normal.
We get downstairs and they were all there waiting for us. What in hell I'm supposed to do now.
