Dom's P.O.V
The past few days have been pretty great, Letty and I have been doing great and everyone has been very accepting of our relationship. I'm waiting on Letty right now, I'm picking her up from schools she doesn't have to ride the bus and Mia has cheerleading after school. She's running a little late, I figured it take her a few minutes but I'm starting to think that she might of gotten into trouble and had detention after school. I was lost in my own thoughts when I her a knocking on the window and I unlocked the door for Letty to get in.
"What took you so long?" I asked her.
"I ran into your little girlfriend. "
"Who?" I asked confused.
"Tila Tran."
"Oh god, Tell me you didn't hurt her."
"No but she better watch it because I'm not playing her little games."
"What did she say to you?"
"Nothing really, just that you two are destine to be together and I might as well just give up now because it's never going to work between us."
"You know I can't stand her right?"
"I know, most people can't."
"And I'd never do anything to screw this up Letty."
"I know Dom, I didn't take what she said seriously."
"Good."
"So are we going to the garage or to the shed to work on your dads Charger?"
"We're going to work on the Charger, the garage is dead right now, there's no point of being there when we have other stuff to do."
"Alright, then let's go."
She turned up the radio and rolled down the window as we drove down the street, the Warm spring air filled the car and I put my hand on her thigh as she song along to the radio. I love watching her enjoy herself, just seeing her smile brightens my day. I love how much the she enjoys the simple things, just a car ride how with good music, and a good vibe makes her happy.
"Thank god we're home, I'm starving." Letty said as we pulled into the driveway "I'm going to go make a snack, do you want anything?"
"Nah babe, I'm good."
"Alright, I'll be back in a minute."
"Wait." I said grabbing her hand.
"It's been too long since I kissed you last." I said as I brought my lips to hers.
I felt her smile into my kiss as she wrapped her hands around my neck.
"I missed you." I mumbled into her lips.
"I missed you too."
The highlight of my day was always kissing Letty, she was perfect and I felt so connected to her when we kissed.
"I'll be back in just a few minutes." She said as she pulled away from our kiss.
"Alright." I smiled as I let go of her.
I watched her walk inside and then I went out back to start working on the charger. There was a lot that needed to be done to fix her up, we're going to have to practically rebuild her from scratch. To get the proper equipment and tools for this car plus all the exterior work that needs to be done we're looking at 50,000 dollars, maybe a little more depending on where I buy the pieces from. I got to work by taking out all the burnt up pieces that were friend and no longer worked out of the car.
"Need some help?" Letty asked a few minutes later when she appeared in the shed.
"Only if it's from you."
She smiled at me and got to work, about an hour later we were both sitting on the floor, covered in oil and engine grease, trying to fix up some of the interior parts of the car.
"I have a question for you Dom."
"Shoot."
"Why did you always get some made when Vince and I tried to help fix this car the first time?"
"I don't know."
"Sure you do." She said glancing up at me.
"I guess I just wanted this to be something that my and me shared together. I already shared everything else, including my dad and I guess I just wanted something for the two of us to do together."
"So when ever me and Vince tried to help you'd get angry because we were taking away your one on one time with daddy."
"I know it sounds stupid, but yeah."
"It's not stupid Dom, I understand."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean you had to share your dad with a lot of people so you wanted your one on one time with him and I… Well my dad was always in and out of my life so much that when he was around I was selfish about letting others spend time with him, I guess that's why my mom has always hated me so much."
"Your mom doesn't hate you Letty."
"You'd be surprised and I can't say I blame her, I'm not the easiest person to handle and I did take away the love of her life."
"Letty, it was your dad's choice to leave, it had nothing to do with you, if anything you should be the one hating her because she's probably the reason your dad left."
"Trust me I do hate her but at the same time I can't help but think that I'm the reason that she is the way she is. I mean even you said it, you understand why my parents don't want to be around me and that it's understandable why my mom did what she did to me."
I felt like the biggest douche on the planet right now, when we were in Disneyland Letty and I were fighting and I told her that I understood why her parents didn't want to be around here and why her mom did what she did to Letty. It was an awful thing to say and never in a million years did I mean for Letty to take that to heart.
"Come here Let." I said reaching for her.
"No." she mumbled trying to shake me off.
"Come here." I said again as I moved closer to her and pulled her onto my lap.
I wrapped my arms around her as tight as I could and kissed the top of her head.
"I am so, so sorry that I said that to you. I was hurt and I was angry and I was just trying to hurt you."
"Well it worked."
"Baby you have to know that I never meant any of that, I'm ashamed and embarrassed that I even said that to you. You deserve so much better than that and no matter what has happened in the past I need you to know that nothing that went on in your house was any of your fault. You got stuck in some bad situations but you didn't deserve any of it and I'm sorry that I made it worse, instead of protecting you from it."
"You don't even know the half of what happened behind those doors."
"No, but I'm here to listen if you ever want to talk or if you need a shoulder to cry on. I should have been there for you before and I wasn't, if I could change what happened I would but I can't baby and I'm sorry that I said such hurtful things to you."
"It's okay, I didn't even mean to bring it up."
"I'm glad that you did though, I need you to know that I never meant any of those things and I need to own up to it and apologize to you for being such a jerk back then."
"You were a jerk."
"The biggest." I said kissing her cheek.
"Why were you so mean?"
"Because I thought that if I was mean to you I could get you to hate me so I wouldn't have to face my feelings. If you never wanted to talk to me then there would be no way for me to tell you that I liked you and I thought that maybe it would be easier that way."
"Well it didn't make it easier."
"I know, I was stupid. "
"I think you're getting smarter though."
"You really think so?" I smiled.
"Yeah." She smiled as she leaned into kiss me.
I meant her the rest of the way and kissed her sweet lips until I could no longer breathe.
"We should get back to work." I suggested but she kept on kissing.
I smiled gently against her lips as she slipped her tongue in my mouth.
"Letty." Somewhat trying to pull away from her, I knew we had to get back to work but I really didn't want to.
"Dom." She moaned mockingly into my mouth.
I was so unbelievably turned on at that moment that I had no choice but to return her kisses.
"You aren't going to let me get back to work are you?"
She smiled and shook her head no before running her tongue lightly over my lips. I smiled back and took her lips fully onto mine as we shared a long and passionate kiss. I wasn't even sure how long we had been making up for but we were interrupted by Mia waling into the shed.
"Sorry, sorry I'll leave." Mia said as she tried to scramble out of the shed.
"Relax, Mia we were just kissing." Letty said as she got off my lap and stood up.
"Yeah but Dom Looks like he's ready for something else." Mia said after she stepped back into the shed.
Letty looked back over to me and then started to laugh.
'Shit' I thought to myself. Mine and Letty's make out session was pretty intense and you could say that I got very excited. I tried to cover up as fast as I could but there's was really no point because my baby sister had already saw it and I was embarrassed as it gets.
"So what did you guys want for dinner? "Mia asked finally getting to the pint to why she came out to the shed in the first place.
"How about chicken parmesan?" Letty suggested.
"Oh my god that sound do good, I'm just going to run to the café quick to get something that we need and then I'll be right back to get started on dinner. "
"Alright, see you in a bit Mi." Letty said as Mia walked out.
She turned back towards me and started smiling.
"That was so embarrassing." I admitted.
"What? We were just kissing."
"No not that, the other thing."
"Seriously? You of all people are embarrassed about that."
"She's my little sister Letty, I don't need her to see my like that, it's just weird."
"Alright but wouldn't of been even more embarrassing if you didn't get a boner from making out with your girlfriend?"
"Between me and you, yes. But in front of my baby sister, no."
"Whatever, let's just actually start working so we can say we got at least something done today."
"Yeah, just give me a minutes."
She smiled and laughed but turned away to get back to work and a few minutes later I was standing right beside her working.
"Next question." Letty said.
"Oh god, what now?"
"How many girls have you slept with?"
"Please Letty don't go there right now."
"Well with boners on the mind, I figured now would be the appropriate time to ask."
"I don't know the answer to that question."
"Alright, I'll just go count the little notches in your bed post but you'll have to tell Mia that I'm not coming to dinner because I'll be counting for a while."
"You don't really want to know Letty."
"Yes I do, otherwise I wouldn't have asked."
"You're just going to get mad at me."
"I might not."
"Come on Letty it's not going to make you feel any better."
"It might, it will but my mind at ease knowing how many women my man has out his dick in."
"You really want to know?"
"Yes, I really want to know."
"You got to promise you won't get mad at me."
"I'll promise that I won't stay mad at you."
"Fine…. I lost my Virginity at fifteen,"
"Gross." She spat.
"But I didn't sleep with another girl until I was sixteen, but don't tell Vince that because I told him I was getting it in every weekend."
"Why would you tell him that?"
"I thought it was cool then but now I know it wasn't….Hell never mind, you can tell Vince, I really don't care anymore." I admitted.
"I don't care what Vince thinks he knows, as long as it's not true."
"It's not, I swear. But I did end up sleeping with about four different girls that year. I slept with them multiple times but I kept the same four girls for that whole year."
"Wow, I'm so proud of you." She said sarcastically.
"You promised you wouldn't get mad."
"No I didn't."
"Then I'm just going to stop now."
"No Dom, keep going." She insisted.
"I think at seventeen is when I stopped caring about how many girls I was sleeping with so I'd average it to about one a month."
"Bullshit. You use to bring back a girl every weekend."
"That's so not true, there was always at least one weekend when I was grounded out of the month and there was some weekends that we just didn't go out, so I wouldn't bring any girls home and then there would be other times when I just wasn't in the mood or had other things going on. I think from the time I was seventeen until I went to jail when I was nineteen, there was at least three times when I went a couple months without getting any."
"Yeah but there was other times when you'd bring a girl home every weekend."
"I know and that's why I averaged it out to be about one a month."
"For how long?"
"Two years." I told her.
"So that's twenty-four different girl, plus the other five, and the three hoes you hooked up with when you got out… That's thirty-two girls Dom, that's disgusting."
"I know I'm sorry, I was a man whore back then but I can't change my past Let."
"No, you can't." She said before walking out of the shed.
"Letty come on. "I called as I followed her out of the shed.
She ignored me and stormed into the house where we ran into Mia, who was bringing in the bag from the café.
"What's going on?"
"You're brothers repulsive." Letty said before storming upstairs.
"Dom what happened?"
I wanted to chase after Letty but I knew Mia wasn't going to let me move without telling her what happened.
"We finally had that awkward ex's talk."
"But you don't have any ex's."
"Hey, give me some credit, don't you remember Victoria?"
"Yeah but you were like twelve. Why would Letty be so mad?"
"Fine Mi, that awkward ex's talk was really a how many people have you had sex with talk."
"Oh… you didn't tell her the truth did you?"
"Of course I told her the truth."
"Well I understand why she's mad and if I were her I'd be pissed for a really long time so you might want to start finding ways to fix it."
"I knew she didn't really want to know." I mumbled to myself as I walked away from my sister and up the stairs to go find Letty.
I saw her rushing to the bathroom with a towel in her hand.
"Letty can we please talk."
"Not right now, I need a shower."
"Just let me apologize."
"Your apology won't make this any better, like you said Dom you can't change the past." She said before slamming the bathroom door in my face.
She took the longest shower possible, I sat outside the bathroom door for the longest time before Mia made me come downstairs and help her with dinner.
The boys got home around six thirty and got cleaned up for dinner. I waited to hear the shower turn off upstairs before going back up to try and talk to Letty. I gave her a few minutes to put some clothes on before going up there. I was about to knock on the guest room door but the light was off and I looked down the hall to my room and I saw the light peeking out from underneath my door.
"What are you doing?" I asked walking into my room.
"Counting." She mumbled.
"Counting what?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
I sat down next to her on the bed and hoped that she would talk to me.
"There's thirty-six, your estimate was wrong."
"I'm sorry, Let but you have to know those girls didn't mean a thing to me."
"I know that Dom but that's what scares me, how can you sleep with that many people and have it mean nothing to you."
"Because sex with them wasn't meant to be a meaningful thing, I was a horny teenager who didn't have his head on straight. I just wanted sex from those girls, I didn't want anything else and that's why it was so easy for me to sleep with them. I know I sound like a dick but they honestly didn't mean a thing to me and neither did sex, so it was easy for me to hit it and quite it."
"And now what does it mean to you?"
"Honestly, I don't know. I feel like I've grown up and matured a lot and now I feel like I'm looking for something more. I don't want someone who is okay with just having a one night stand with me, I want someone who I can love and actually share things with, someone that I'm not going to get sick of and I honestly think I'm make that move by being with you."
"Why'd you have to sleep with so many girls though, it's just so gross." She exaggerated.
"I wasn't thinking back then." I said honestly.
"You never use to use your head much did you? And I don't mean the one in your pants."
"No I didn't." I said wrapping my arm around her.
She didn't lean into me like I wanted her too but she also didn't remove my arm.
"I just can't wrap my head around the fact that you've been with so many people."
"I wasn't with them emotionally, just physically."
"That doesn't make it any better Dom, do you know who many germs you share while having sex?"
"A lot? I'm guessing."
"Yeah." I stated.
"Does it help if I say I was thinking about you most of the time?"
"No! That just makes it worse, how can you think about me and still be able to move sex with another girl? "She asked frustrated.
"That was supposed to make things better not worse."
"Well it didn't." She spat.
I took a deep breath and rubbed my forehead. "What do you want me to say here Letty?"
"I don't know Dom."
"You knew about my past before we made things official."
"I know but having an idea of how many and knowing the actual amount is so different. I don't even want to touch you, knowing that so many other already have."
"I understand why you're mad, if I had found out that you had slept with thirty-six different guys I'd be angry too."
"What would you do?"
"I honestly don't know, I'm not in that situation and I can't even think about you being with another man but I do know that I'd have to find a way to get over it because I can't be without you Letty and I'll do whatever it takes to make this better."
"I think I just need sometime by myself." She said as she got off my bed.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to go home, I'll see you in the morning."
"Alright." I whispered as she walked out my bedroom door.
I didn't talk at all through dinner and showed, then went straight to my room right after. I had a hard time sleeping that night, I kept tossing and turning. I knew Letty was mad but she couldn't possibly stay that pissed at me, she knew that I had been with a lot of women before we started dating and I know that doesn't make things better but she knew what she was getting into. I was hoping that she'd find a way to forgive me and put this behind her so we can move on with our relationship.
I woke up the next morning and waited for Letty to come over like she did every morning before school but she didn't show. I was starting to get worried, what if she was really mad and wanted to breakup. I called her call phone but she didn't answer so I left her a text telling her to call me.
"Mia where are you going?" I asked as she tried to leave.
"I'm meeting Letty at the bus stop for school."
"Why? I can give you guys a ride."
"Letty said she wanted to take the bus this morning, she's probably still pissed at you." Mia said before walking out of the door.
Once she left I went to the garage, I needed to get my mind off things and working on cars was the best way that I knew how to. The guys arrived shortly after I did and got started on their work. I got through the first car with no problem but the second car took me longer and by the time I got to the third car all I could think about was Letty. She fills my mind every time I try to think about something else. She's the only thing besides my family that's important to me and I had to make things right. I put down my tool and washed my hand before I went into the back office in the garage and got on my computer. I was half way through my search when Letty walked in.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I came home for lunch."
"Did you want to talk?"
"What are you looking at?" She asked, ignoring my question.
"A knew bed set." I told her as I turned the computer screen towards her.
"Why?"
"The old one has some unwanted scratches in it that I just want to forget about."
"And why would you want to do that?"
"Because there's only one girl that's important enough to remember and she's you. MY past is in the past Letty and that's where I want to leave it, I'm not that guy anymore and I don't want anything that remind me of him, or those girls."
"Well you might want to be searching for a new mattress too."
"I never actually slept with a girl in my bed, I always took them to the basement."
"You've got quite the code, Toretto." She said sitting down on my lap.
"And you're the only one who knows it baby."
