Dom's POV

I woke up slowly and became immediately aware that Letty was still beside me. Her head had moved off my shoulder and was now laying on my chest and she had her arm slung over my middle. Despite the pain I was feeling I didn't have the heart to move her. I glanced towards the window, trying to get a sense of the time. There was a faint orange glow to the sky telling me we'd slept through the night and we were into sunrise. Looking back down at Letty I brushed a piece of hair back from her face and let my hand gently play with her hair.

A small movement out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. I looked up, over at the entry to my room and paused. Vince was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed as he stared at us.

"Don't wake her." I warned quietly.

"Do you know what you're doing Dom?" He asked me seriously, his voice low enough to not wake Letty.

"You think I'd start something if I didn't." I replied back quietly.

"I've been thinking all night brother, trying to work out how or when this happened but I got nothing. I need you to explain this to me." He asked me quietly.

"It was gradual. I didn't notice it at first, I just found myself watching her every move. I got jealous, of Carlos, worried that the minute she turned sixteen I was gunna loose her." I started, staring straight at him as I spoke. His shoulders which had been tense, dropped a little as he listened to me.

"The night of her birthday I only meant to kiss her, talk to her."

"Doesn't sound like a lot of talking happened." He muttered annoyed and I dropped my eyes as I turned back to look at Letty.

"You aren't going to get an apology from me for feeling the way I do so if that's what you're waiting for..." I trailed off and he grunted making me look up at him.

"Is she the reason why you've been blowing off the races and the parties?" He asked wanting confirmation on what he already suspected.

"Yeah. We never got the chance to talk before she left, I didn't know where we stood but I knew where I wanted to. She's it for me Vince, for good." I said seriously and he sucked in a harsh breath.

"You can't know that." He muttered.

"But I do, I can't explain it but when it happens to you you'll know."

"She's sixteen." He tried again and I nodded.

"I know."

"Five years difference Dom, fuck we told her off for Carlos and that punk was only two years older then her." He snapped, his voice raising making me narrow my eyes at him.

"Be quiet. You wake her and I'll pay you back for the bruised ribs" I snapped quietly as he stayed silent, his eyes flickering between myself and Letty.

"Fuck, you're serious aren't you?" He asked as it finally sunk in.

"I swear on my dad's grave Vince." I answered and he slumped into the wall further.

"Shit Dom." He sighed as he hung his head. I turned away from him, leaving him to his own thoughts and giving him time to process what I just said and what it meant. I looked back down at Letty and placed a kiss on her head. I caught Vince's gaze as he watched us with a torn expression.

"I should have been more careful and I should have told you, that I will apologise for but nothing else." I added and he sighed.

"This is going to change everything." He said quietly.

"V, your life is already going to change, right now you need to worry about what you're going to do." I said softly causing him to frown.

"Yeah..." He said quietly as he turned to leave.

"Vince," I called softly.

"Yeah?"

"Are we good?" I asked quietly.

"Just give me time to get used to the two of you but I swear Toretto you hurt her and I will kill you." He threatened with a small smile on his face which I mirrored.

"Never gunna happen."

"Good. Make sure it doesn't." He added before he left us alone again.

I laid awake after Vince left and watched Letty sleep for hours. By the time she opened her eyes the sun had risen properly in the sky and the sun was streaming into my room.

"Morning sleepy head." I joked softly and she let out a small moan of annoyance as she closed her eyes once more.

"We slept for like sixteen hours." She mumbled.

"You did, I've been awake a while." I said as she looked up at me.

"You watching me sleep Toretto, cos that's creepy." She mumbled sleepily.

"Vince stopped by." I said quietly and she went rigid on my chest as her eyes opened and met mine.

"Is he still mad?"

"A little." I answered.

"Leon?" She asked.

"I dunno."

"We really messed up huh?" She whispered sadly and I frowned not liking wherever her thoughts were taking her.

"Hey, I'll sort it out. I promise." I vowed as I tilted her head up towards mine. She gave me a small smile and nodded.

"Are you in pain? I can get you some more medication." She said changing the subject.

"No, I'll be fine but I am gunna have a hot shower. My muscles feel stiff." I said as I dropped a kiss to her hair. She smiled and lifted her head off me as she sat up. I couldn't help but smile as I took her in. She was still dressed in yesterdays clothes and her hair was a tangled mess from sleep but she still looked beautiful.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked frowning and I smiled.

"Cos I can." I said secretly before I stood up. I groaned as I carefully stretched. My ribs hurt like a bitch, I could feel that my face was swollen and the rest of my body ached. I could only imagine how I looked.

"You know Mia doesn't know." Letty spoke up suddenly just before I shut the door to the bathroom.

"Shit." Telling my baby sister that I wanted to date her best friend was one thing but telling her everything else that went hand in hand with it was another. Maybe we could wait until after the results came back.
