Laptop issue is fixed! Here's chapter 8, enjoy!
Letty's POV
Things settled down after we got to the garage. Everyone was speaking again and the atmosphere wasn't tense like it had been this morning or yesterday. I felt someone's stare on me, making me look up. I met Dom's eyes and we shared a smile before we returned back to work.
As I worked I let my mind wander back to the phone call I'd received this morning from the doctor. The relief I had felt when she had confirmed I wasn't pregnant was immediate. A weight had been lifted off my shoulders. She asked me how my cycle was going to which I'd replied with I still hadn't gotten a period. She told me to put it down to stress and to not worry, some times it happened. I had taken the opportunity to ask her about birth control again and she'd made me an appointment to come in and see her tomorrow. It was a good idea just in case something like this ever happened again. I was way too young for kids.
"You good?" Leon asked me, snapping me out of my daze. I blinked at him before giving him a small smile.
"Sorry man, lost in my own thoughts." I said pausing from putting in a new radiator.
"I'd ask what but I'm not sure I wanna know." He grimaced and I laughed.
"Not everything revolves around sex man, get your head out of the gutter." I laughed at him and he grinned.
"Seriously though, you good?" He asked and I nodded.
"Le I'm fine. You and Vince need to relax, I can hold my own."
"We know that baby girl but it's Dom..." He whispered quietly as if that explained everything, and in a way it did but I knew things were different now.
"Name the last time he was with a girl." I whispered back, raising an eyebrow when he struggled to recall.
"Shit I dunno. I mean I know he was ditching us after races and shit but I didn't think it was over a girl."
"He grew up, which is more then I can say for the rest of you." I joked making him send me a playful glare.
"I think we're all about to have to do some growing up, especially Vince." He said quietly, getting serious all of a sudden and I nodded.
"Yeah, I just hope he takes this seriously." I said and Leon nodded.
"For his kid's sake I hope so too."
Dom's POV
The garage had been overly busy. We'd barely stopped for lunch or breaks and that meant I hadn't had a change to speak to Letty about her phone call.
I sighed as I finally placed my wrench down and rolled my neck. I looked up at everyone and saw how tired they looked. We'd done the essentials, the rest could wait until morning.
"Let's wrap it up guys, we'll finish off tomorrow." I announced and was met with a chorus of agreements.
"I'm beat." Leon groaned as he and Vince walked over to the roller doors to pull them down.
"Wonder what Mia's made for dinner." I heard Vince say before I tuned them out. Jesse was going around turning off machines and shutting down the computers for the night. I quickly put away my tools before I let my eyes sought Letty out. She was quietly putting away her tools and tidying up her work area. Quietly I walked over to her, leaving the guys to lock up.
"Hey." I whispered into her ear as I wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Hey." She whispered back, peering over her shoulder at me with a small smile.
"It's been a long day." I said as I kissed the back of her head.
"Mmhmm I'm so tired." She said as she leaned back into me.
"Early night?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah I think I will head to bed early."
"Mine or yours?" I asked quietly. Not only had we had no time to discuss her phone call, we'd also had no time to discuss what our plans were. Were we together but still staying in separate rooms? Was she moving in with me? How fast were we going? What was she comfortable with? There was so many questions that we hadn't spoken about.
"Dunno, haven't thought about it." She said as she turned around to look at me.
"What do you want?" I asked quietly.
"I wanna crawl in to bed and have you hold me," She started.
"But?" I asked knowing there must be one coming.
"I just don't want to make this awkward for everyone." She finished making me raise my eyebrows at her.
"Awkward? Isn't it already awkward." I grinned humorously.
"More awkward then. I'm gunna be honest, I want nothing more then to spend every night by your side but I don't want to rush this either. Its all new for me." She spoke seriously and I nodded.
"I understand that, this is all new to me too. We only do what your comfortable with, I won't rush you." I said honestly as I reached out and cupped her cheek, smiling when she leaned into it.
"Let's just take it day by day."
"Okay."
"Also I have an appointment at the doctors tomorrow, I'm going to need an hour or so off." She told me quietly as she glanced around the room. I frowned but nodded.
"Is everything okay? Is it about what you announced this morning? I know we haven't had time to discuss it today but you didn't just say that this morning to get everyone off our backs did you?" I asked concerned making her smile.
"No Dom, I'm not pregnant, I promise. Birth control remember?" I made a small noise of approval as I recalled that being a topic of conversation the day we went to get bloods done.
"Right. I'll take you, what time?" I asked.
"You don't have to come." she said shaking her head.
"But I want to, I mean unless you don't want me to…?" I asked unsure.
"No it's not that, I just figured you wouldn't be interested?" She asked unsure making me smile.
"Letty whatever concerns you I'm interested in."
"Oh."
"So can I come tomorrow?" I asked quietly as I moved my hand from her cheek to the back of her neck, massaging the base of it gently. I grinned as her eyes fluttered, a small moan sneaking past her lips at my actions.
"Yeah." She whispered.
"Yeah?" I asked to double check making her nod.
"Mmhmm."
"Let's go home baby, I'll give you a proper massage before you go to bed." I promised, getting slightly excited at the idea of having my hands on her again.
"Sounds good." She smiled as I pressed a kiss to her head.
"Oi! Letty and I both jumped at the shout from across the garage, our heads snapping in the direction of the noise.
"Lips off lover boy." Vince half joked at me making me roll my eyes.
"You know how to ruin a moment don't you V?" Letty joked as she gave my arm a squeeze before brushing past me.
"It's my specialty." He fired back. I shook my head with a grin, listening to them all bicker as they made their way out to the cars while I turned off all the lights and locked up.
