CH 14

DOM

Letty and me stayed outside for a few hours. By then the party was dying down. Only a few people stayed behind. Ben was talking with Alex and Shaya. The guys were taking care of their conquest; thank god they were going to their girls houses. Right when all the guys were smiling waving as they started down the driveway two cars whipped into the driveway. One was a blue Nasta (didn't spell that right sorry). The other a purple convertible.

The cars screeched to a halt and who got out of them except Brian and a bald African American guy eating a candy bar. They just went into the house. That when I ran in with Letty hot on my trail. All the guys turned when Brian went by and then ran into the house after him. We all hit the living room at the same time. That's when I saw Shaya stand in front of Alex. But she looked scared to death about what they would do.

"Brian…Rome…so did I forget to tell to tell you I was coming over here?"

"Ya you did!" Rome shouted at her.

Brian was just staring at Mia. "Hi."

"Hi." Mia yelled as she ran and jump onto him. Brian started to pull Mia out onto the porch when he looked at Rome. "Take care of her." He looked at me "I know, you'll break my neck." Then he was out the door and you could see them sitting on the porch.

Rome just looked at Shaya.

"So little lady….whatcha doing?" Rome said coming up to Shaya.

"Talking to you." She smiled at him.

"Before we got here?" He looked at Shaya then at Alex.

"Talking." She smiled even wider at him.

"You talk a lot." Then he pulled her over his shoulder. "Now you can go talk to Dad for running off without Brian or me."

"Come on Rome! You're the good brother let me go! I don't tell mom when you fucked that girl on her new couch! DID I?" She said, "BUT ME DOWN OR YOU'LL NEVER GET TO FUCK ANOTHER CHICK IN YOUR LIFE!"

"And how are you going to do that?"

"Note my foot." Rome looked down to see the heel of the platform was next to his area.

Rome stopped. "You know I had sex on mom couch?"

"Her new couch. Would you like me to tell your mother? Or how about when you did it on her expensive carpet? Or the kitchen table?"

"So that why you don't want to eat on the table anymore." He said as he put her down.

"Why do I want to eat when your ass was on? I don't know where that thing has been!" Shaya said and walked back over by Alex.

"Rome man cools it!" Letty yelled at him.

"Shut up Letty! For all I know your kid is going bad thing to my little sister!" Rome yelled at her.

"Shut the fuck up before I kick your ass!" my voice boomed through the house.

"Who are you?"

"Dom. And you're yelling at my family." I walked up to him.

"Brian told me about you, and your family." Rome said.

"And?"

"I respect you."

"Great now their friends." Shaya said and Alex put his arms around her.

"Hello." Rome said looking at him.

"O fuck you Rome." Shaya said and put her arms atop his.

Cute.

Then Brian and Mia came back. We're good with Brian, he keep calling us to check on Letty and the kids, also to talk to Mia.

"Everyone this is my brother Rome. My dad married his mom." Brian said as they came in "My little sister Shaya." He pointed out to everyone.

"Rome you want to take Shaya home? I want to talk to Mia more." Brian asked from his seat next to Mia on the couch.

I started to laugh when Shaya gave Rome a look. "Let's go talk to mother Rome."

Alex is right, she is smart.

"I think I'll just call dad and let him know that I know where you are, plus that Brian is here. I have a date to get back to." Shaya smiled at him.

"Rome you ok man?" Brian asked

"Ya, I'm cool." Rome said looked at him. He gave a final look at Shaya and pointed at Alex. "It's easy to chop stuff off." then left. I looked at Alex and Shaya. They were smiling at each other and talking about cars as soon as Rome left.

Ben and me went over to the kitchen.

"Dad what is it?

"You remember when I unlocked the safe. I took two things. The picture of Letty and me." I stopped to see if he was following. I had spent the day thinking about how to get both parts of my Letty back. Then it hit me.

"What else did you take?" Ben asked, he was as excited as me.

"Remember the story I told you?" I asked, I wanted to know what he would think of it.

"The one about you and mom getting married? Or your first date?" His eyebrows knit together.

"Marriage." I wanted him to think of the same thing I did.

All of a sudden it clicked for him.

"You kept the ring in the safe! That could be the thing to get mom back to herself."

I smiled at him.

"Go do it!'

I was walking up the stairs with Letty. This is just like that day I mused to myself.

Letty and me got to our room after a race. Even though we talked about getting married it was still nerve racking. We talked about maybe in a few years we would get married. That was one of the two things we never talked about in front of the team. They would put their two cents into it.

Getting married

Having kids

It was just something that we keep to ourselves. Once our racing years were over or whenever it slowed down we would start everything. Go to Mexico to stay out of the cop's way and start a family. Then when it would cool down in the states we would come back. Before any of it we would get married. That would be easy to hide from the team, a pregnant Letty…not so much. But I didn't want to wait for the slow down time. I wanted to get married to her. Then maybe tell a few people and then everyone at the races would now she belongs to me.

"God we won a lot to night." Letty said with a laugh. We are heading up to our room to celebrate. I laughed along with her. When we got to our room she flipped her shoes off and just looked at me.

"Dom?" she asked. My heart was pounding in my ears. I hardly heard her.

"Letty." I rubbed my hands over my face. I looked at her and all at once everything I felt went away. I went over to her.

"I want to get married." I said looking in her eyes.

"In a couple of years…"Her eyes widen "You mean now. You're asking me to marry you Dominic?"

I pulled a ring out of my pocket. The velvet case closed around it.

"I don't want to wait." I looked at her face. I opened the case to the ring. It was a large diamond. When I first started to date Letty I wanted to marry her. No one knew. But I would put a little money away for a rainy day. That money was turned into the "ring" jar when I was 20 years old.

She just looked at it. I couldn't read anything on her face. Her eyes just started at me. The nerves started to come back.

"Letty will you marry me?" She said quit.

The moments seemed like hours…

"Yes."

Thank you, to everyone for waiting for me to come back and write. My camping trip was fun and the baby shower for my sister went great. I wrote a lot today so I hope to get the next chapter up soon. But thanks you everyone! Please review!
