Mia and Letty became friends as soon as English class began. They were seniors this year, but they didn't care about this class in particular. It was just too damn easy for the two of them. Mia kept going on and on about her life, trying not to talk about her parents. She would speak of Dom like he was a super hero and it made Letty smile. She always wanted a brother, for that same reason.

Letty gave Mia a ride home, but the girl just wouldn't let her go. It was good to have a friend, Letty knew that, but she just didn't want to be those kinds of people to be in other people's houses all the time. I'd be annoying.

But Mia insisted. They were up in Mia's room, they're homework was done. The day went by really fast and they just kept talking and talking. They found out a lot about each other. Mia was terrified at the idea that Letty was living alone.

"It's not that big of a deal, really"

"Well, you're always welcome here, Letty. Dom wouldn't mind it at all"

"Really?"

"Yeah, we have a spare room down the hall. And c'mon, what the hell was that yesterday?!" Mia said, with a big smile spread across her face.

"What?"

"You and Dom?"

"What are you talking about, Mia?"

"He couldn't stop checking you out!"

"So?" Letty tried to act like it was that big of a deal, but she felt like blushing at the thought.

"So, he didn't try anything. That means you mean something to him. He likes you, Letty"

"I think homework finally got to your head, Mia"

"Oh, Letty, I'm no stupid. I know him. He's a womanizer, for sure, but there's something going on between the two of you."

"When you figure it out, don't forget to fill me in"

Letty's joke made Mia laugh. Mia forced Letty to help her cook dinner. It was time already, and the boys would arrive in an hour. They kept talking, now about school. They decided to do the Science project together, since that was another class they had together. They the boys came storming in.

"No, it's my turn!"

"I got here first!"

Mia rolled her eyes, making Letty laugh. That heaven-sent noise caught Dom in a trance. He turned his head, to see Letty and Mia laughing. For what he could hear, Letty would suck at cooking, and Mia was trying to help.

He walked inside, getting the girls attention.

"So, what are the two of you up to?

Letty shivered at the sound of that deep voice. She closed her eyes, breathing for a second. The hell was that?!

"We're making dinner. Maybe we'll have to order, because Letty is destroying everything!" Mia said, but she wasn't mad. She was having a good time watching Letty. Dom's laughter made Letty smile. Yeah, she sucked.

"Just don't set the house on fire. Whatever you guys do, we'll eat. We're starving"

"You're not helping, Dominic!" Letty yelled, trying to get the sausage done the right way.

"What have I done?" Letty turned to him with a smile on her face. It calmed Dom down. Mia laughed, getting Letty to concentrate again.

"You suck, Mia. You're making me do this!" Letty laughed, not mad at all.

"You're making it seem harder than it really is!"

Dom just laughed, letting them up to that. He sat down on the couch, just watching the boys play. To see Letty was a surprise. A good one. If she sucked at coking, he sucked at keeping his eyes to himself.

She was just getting the worst man there was in him. Okay, Dom would hook up with a lot of different girls, but he would never hurt them physically. That just wasn't him. But Letty was… God, he couldn't stop having visions of the shit he wanted to do to her. She was just so quiet, sexy, flirtatious in a cute and, sometimes, heavy way… it all made Dom want her wildly.

Maybe it was time for a party. There was no way he would ever do any of those things to her. Although, he wanted. Fuck, we wanted to. It would make him hard. He tried to hide the bulge that was beginning to make his pants feel small. He was glad when everybody was called to eat, because he could seat down and concentrate on chewing, and nobody would see anything, he hoped so.

But Vince saw everything. Dom was never the first one to seat on the table, but today he seemed glad he did. Vince had caught Dom looking at Letty's eyes, today was not the first time. He could picture the two together, and kept wondering why Dom hadn't made a move just yet. It was about time someone would do this shit to him.

Not that Vince wanted Dom to suffer. Vince himself had been through the same situation. So, after dinner, after Letty was gone, Vince asked if he could speak to Dom in private. While Leon and Jesse were helping Mia with the dishes, they were talking in the living room.

"So, what's up with you, Dom?" they were both in the couch, with beers.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, why haven't you hit on Letty yet?"

It had definitely caught Dom off guard. Vince just nodded. It was just that clear. Vince was sure Mia had noticed too. Dom swallowed the pulp down his throat.

"What… what makes you think I'd… want to do that?" Suddenly, it was hard for Dom to swallow again.

"Because you can't stop looking at her, man! You were almost eating her alive today".

Dom knew there was no point in trying to deny. Vince was a hundred per cent sure, Dom could see it. He hid his face in his hands, not wanting to see V's face when he found out he was right.

"I feel like a fucking kid having sex for the first time! I just can't make it stop!"

"That's alright, man, I'm not here to judge. Letty's hot, give it a try."

"You don't get it, V. In one hand, I want to fuck her senselessly until she can't walk for a week, I want to mark her as mine…"

"That's not knew, Dom"

"On the other hand, I want to make love to her, Vince. I want to take her everywhere she wants to go, I want to make out with her, like boyfriend/girlfriend kind of stuff"

Vince kept silent for a minute. He knew why Dom was so confused. It was not like him. Dom had never dated for real before. Vince knew him since he third grade, Dom never stayed with a girl for more than a week. He wasn't the love making kind of guy.

"Can you picture yourself with her?"

"What?"

"Can you picture yourself doing normal boyfriend/girlfriend stuff?"

Dom kept quiet. Letty was too young for him, for the things he was used to do. He never had a girlfriend. He never cared about this shit. Specially, with a girl he had met less than a week ago. But when he thought about it, it couldn't be so hard. But not with Letty. He wanted that, but she was just so young… so… untouched. He just didn't want to scare her. It made him cringe.

"Is that a no?"

"I can, Vince. I'd give it a try, but… it's Letty".

"Yeah, the hot girl that knows about cars, is friends with all of us, with your sister, that makes you laugh…"

"She's young, Vince. Too young"

"You've been with young girls before"

"None that I had actually met before fucking with. I like Letty"

"But you can't control yourself"

"Near her? Yeah, I can. The idea of freaking her out makes me stop, but someday she'll slap me because I can't stop imagining myself licking her nipples or doing you know what to her"

"Well, I hadn't realized it was that bad".

"I'll just keep my distance. Keep my thoughts to myself. I don't wanna hear a word about this, okay?"

"Yeah, it's cool"

After a few moments, the four of them were ready to leave. Parting tonight was not part of the plan, but Dom needed to. Maybe, when he fucked someone, he would get Letty out of his head.

He checked if Mia was going to be okay and then, they left.

Dom got drunk, probably.

He couldn't remember.

He was mad.

His plan didn't work.
