Chapter 3:

Hi everyone, I hope you guys are enjoying the story so far.

Letty's POV:

The next morning I crept down the stairs trying not to wake Dom. He was sound asleep on the couch . I walked over to the couch and studied his face. He looked so adorable…like an innocent little boy when he slept. I smiled briefly remembering how good it felt to wake up to that face. Things had changed so much in the past five years, I met Michael and ever since then he became my life. At first he was the perfect boyfriend but now I wish she never met him sometimes. I stole one last look at Dominic before heading into the kitchen. I could tell by the smells that Mia was making my favorite, chocolate chip pancakes and bacon.

" Morning", I said to Mia who was busy flipping pancakes.

" Morning, How did you sleep?", she asked extremely cheerful. She immediately went back to flpping the pancakes and checking on the bacon.

" Great..hows the lil one?", I asked as I started setting the table. I heard Mia earlier this morning in the bathroom puking up her guts.

" Ugh..she's okay..but this morning sickness has got to go", she said as she started putting food on each plate I passed her.

" Girl? Isn't it kind of early or is that just wishful thinking?". She sighed dramatic and put her hand on her miniature baby bump. " I just know God will bless me with a mini me". I couldn't help but to crack up laughing right at that second. She was only a few weeks along and she was already praying for a girl. Typically Mia." Why? So you can play dress up with her like you tried to do to me?"

" Tired?", she asked scarcastically with her hand on her hip as she narrowed her eyes at me.

" Ok. You did dress me up but you were such a bitch if I didn't let you", I joked. Mia was a bitch about playing dress up with me when we were younger. She used to chase me around the house with pink lip gloss and dresses. I was always the tomboy of us two but occasionally she got me to showcase some of her experiments in public. Like on my sixteenth birthday she held me down and applied black eye shadow to my eyes, mascara, alil bronzer and lip gloss to my face. Then she made me wear a one shoulder red skin tight dress that stopped an inch or two above my knees. To make matters worse she made me wear heels. Not just any heels either extra high heels. I almost broke my kneck that night but it was also the best night of my life. It was the first time Dominic kissed me.

" LETTY!"

" Uh..WASSUP?", I asked pushing my thoughts to the back of my mind.

" Can you go wake up the boys?", she asked as she plopped down into a chair .

" Yea I got you". I walked into the living room where Dom was still snoring on the couch.I could just tap him on the shoulder and tell him breakfast was ready but that's not fun. I walked over to thecouch and gently grab a hold of the sheets that he was currently tangled up in. Once I had a good enough grip I pulled off and bust into loud laughter as Dom fell off the couch.

" What the ..?", he yelled groggily.

I smiled as I watched the confusion spread across his features." Breakfast is ready".

I ran into the basement and told Leon and Vince that breakfast was ready before running upstairs to get Brian. By the time I took my seat I was exhausted. I gotta start working out I shouldn't be this tired from that little bit of running around I just did.

" Thanks, Letty,", Mia said smiling sweetly as the guys all filed into the kitchen still half asleep..except Vince. One mention of the word food and he was up for good..well atleast til he finished his food.

Dom's POV:

I dropped the wrench I was using as I wiped the sweat off of my forehead. After breakfast everyone came to the garage to work while Mia headed to the store. It was hot as hell but the garage was busy. I watched as Letty slid from underneath the Nissan she was working on and take a swig of her bottled water. Her white t-shirt was now covered in grease and sweat. Her long curly hair stuck to her neck and I could tell she ws exhausted. We had all worked through lunch because we were behind with the cars but we were able to catch up and get the cars back to their owners today. The only cars left weren't being picked up til Friday. There was still a good amount of cars left but my stomach was growling so I'm pretty sure everyone else must be too. " Hey you guys wanna call it a night?", I asked everyone as I wiped my hands on a rag.

" Thank God!", Letty yelled as she stood up and dropped her tools into thetool box.
" Aww what's wrong Lett?", Leon teased as she quickly gathered her stuff.

" I'm hot and I've been under a car all day. I need a hot shower and some fresh clothes.. You should consider doing the same I can smell you from over here. See you guys at the house", she called as she headed out to her car.

" Damn Lett, it's like that?", Leon yelled to her but she was already in the car and driving off.

Once Vince and I stopped laughing at Leon we cleaned up, locked up and headed back to the house. Letty was right we could all use showers right about now.

Letty's POV:

I felt my body relax as the hot water ran across my body. I stood with my back to the sjower head letting it soak my back which hd been bothering me for the past few days. Before Michael left we got into a fight about him staying out late and pushed me down the steps then kicked me in my ribs. I was in pain but I refused to let anyone know it. I never thought I would be one of those girls that got beat up by her boyfriend. I was always the tough chic that could take care of herself. I think it surprised me though. Michael had always been sweet to me. We rarely argued and he was always trying to make me smile whether it was taking me out on a date or just spending time with me in the house he was ready and willing. When he asked me to move in with him I thought it was a great idea sense Mia and Brian were married and honestly the house just held to many memories.

Everything was going great. I was finally happy and content with my life without Dom. Well, I missed him but I'd accepted the fact that he wasn't coming back and allowed myself to be happy with Michael. Michael was new to the area so he didn't know about my relationship with Dom and I never offered the information. One of his friends must have recognized my names and asked around because one day Michael came home yelling that I was keeping secrets from him and that I was his woman now and that Dom had better stay away. I tried to calm him down. I told him I never told him bout Dom because he never asked, which was true , and that he didn't need to worry about Dom. He was the past. I thought it had calmed him down and that everything was okay between us until he made me go to the next races wearing a black mini dress and heel boots. He even made me straighten my hair. He said this " new" me was a way of proving I was over Dom and was willing to be the woman he wanted me to be. I should have left but I really wanted to be happy with him so I went along with it. Then one night we got into fight at the races over some skank and we left before the races were over. I was with Mia and the guys but I was too pissed to worry about telling them I was leaving but I was sure Mia saw me get into my car. When we got home we started arguing all over again. I accused him of flirting with the skank and he surprised me when he admitted to it and told me he was going to do whatever and whoever he wanted before punching me in the face. I immediately feel to the ground as I felt my eye begin to swell I was so surprised that I didn't even block the next hit to my face which busted my lip. He told me to stay in my place and then left the house. I went into the bathroom and treated myself before crawling into bed and crying myself to sleep. I wanted to believe he was drunk and that he would come home and apologize and promise to never do it again. But that was just the beginning.

" Ayo Letty hurry up other people need to use the bathroom too", Mia yelled through the dorr breaking me from my thoughts once again. I shut off the water and grabbed my towel. Once I was dried off I wrapped the towel around me and opened the door. Mia pushed past me and headed straight for the toilet." Damn Mia"." Sorry but my bladder is the worse". I chuckled and headed to my ..Dom's bedroom to get change and lay down before dinner.I considered taking off tomorrow but knew if I did Mia would strt asking more questions that I really didn't want to answer. Once in the room I opted to change later and simply crawled in the bed naked and closed my eyes letting sleep overcome me.

I know I've been posting some short chapters but I promise I'll start making them longer and I will try to update all of my stories as much as possible this weekend because I am going on vacation next week with my boyfriend for a few days. I know this chapter was uneventful but I wanted to give you guys more details about Letty's relationship with Michael. Also, please let me know if you guys prefer I write in Letty and Dom's POV instead of in third person. Thank you guys I can't wait to read your reviews or suggestions.
