Dom's POV
To say Letty and I were finding it extremely hard to keep our hands off each other was an understatement. We'd gone three intense rounds on Friday night, morning sex on Saturday before Leon had found us in a compromising position in the laundry room. Then after lunch we'd snuck out to the garage for some alone time before Vince had caught us, thankfully after we'd dressed. That night had been another sleepless one as we pushed our bodies to their pleasure limit as quietly as we could seeing as we had the whole house home. Needless to say today we'd been banned from being alone in the same room together.
"You two are like rabbits." Leon bitched at me as he handed me the meat for the barbecue. I said nothing just smirked in reply making him laugh.
"I'd say fucking lucky bastard but then I remember that it's Letty and it's still weird."
"What's weird?" Mia asked as she came out with her home made sauce.
"Letty and I." I said happily.
"I like seeing my brother and my best friend happy."
"Hey so do I but I do not like seeing them on the washing machine." Leon defended making Mia crinkle her nose in disgust.
"Ew Dom."
"We weren't doing anything." I defended.
"Yet. You weren't doing anything yet." Leon added pointing at me knowingly. I just smirked in response. I couldn't argue with that.
"Is that why you two have been separated?" Mia laughed.
"Yes. Especially after I caught them in the garage yesterday afternoon." Vince announced as he and Emily made their enterance.
"Seriously? Can't you two keep it behind closed doors." Mia groaned in disgust as she turned to head back into the house.
"It was behind a closed door." Letty chuckled as she joined us, poking her tongue out at Mia as they passed each other.
"Hey baby." I greeted as I wrapped my arm around her waist leaning down to press a kiss to her lips
"Hey no, we need the meat grilled. You go help Mia, don't distract him." Leon piped up, gently guiding Letty back towards the house laughing.
"Sorry Emily." I laughed as I turned back to greet the girl who was standing next to Vince watching on amused.
"It's okay."
"I hope you're not a vegetarian?" I asked her as Vince went to get her a drink.
"No, I eat at least a chicken and half a cow a week." She joked softly and I laughed.
"You'll fit right in then. Take a seat."
"Thanks but I don't mind helping. Is there anything I can do?" She asked as she looked around curiously.
"Guests don't lift a finger around here." I said smiling at the girl.
"Come on I'll give you a tour of the house and introduce you to everyone again." Vince spoke as he took Emily by the hand and the two of them wandered inside. I watched them silently as they left, Vince's hand reached out to entwine with her's and I found myself hoping he was serious about this.
Letty's POV
"You two." Mia shook her head at me but her smirk said something else entirely.
"I'm not saying a word." I grinned back as I turned back to the salad I was putting together.
"Just please tell me you are being safe?" She asked quietly knowing Leon was only just outside the door helping Jesse with something.
"Yes. We are being safe, extra safe." I added making her sigh in relief.
"Okay good."
"Hey girls you remember Emily?" Vince asked us as he walked through the back door. Mia and I both sent the girl a smile and nodded.
"Nice to see you here."
"Well thanks for the invite." She smiled shyly.
"I'm just giving her a tour of the house."
"I'll do it. Dom will need your help soon anyway." I offered, pushing my finished bowl of salad into his hands.
"Come on." I said sending Emily a smile before I dragged her away from a dumb founded Vince.
"Sorry just thought it was a good chance to be able to talk with you." I apologised as I showed her into the lounge room.
"It's okay. Letty right?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah."
"You're dating Dom right?" She said trying to piece together our family.
"Mmhmm." I smiled at her as she nodded, relaxing when she got it right.
"Sorry, this is all new to me." She sighed as I led her upstairs.
"It's all good, new for us too. So how did you and Vince meet?" I asked curious.
"One night at the races. I was with some friends, I don't normally go but that particular night I was keen." She started to explain.
"How did you like them?" I asked politely.
"They're alright." She shrugged timidly and I smirked at her, placing a hand on my hip as I turned to her.
"You know you can be completely honest right?" I said laughing making her smile and laugh back.
"Honestly? It's not my scene. I'm not a fan."
"What is your scene?" I asked fishing. I watched as she blushed and cleared her throat nervously.
"Books. Study and uni take up most of my time but I really enjoy it." She said quietly.
"You and Mia will get on just fine." I smiled and she returned it.
"Dom's little sister right?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yep, always has her head in a book." I confirmed.
"So you and Vince hang out a lot?" I asked.
"A couple of times a week. He sometimes comes to uni and has lunch with me but most of the time we stay in at my dorm room..." She trailed off and I nodded in understanding.
"I get it. Dom and I have been separated for the day." I joked trying to ease her nerves. It must have worked because she laughed along with me.
"I got told that." She giggled before we went silent.
"I'm probably over stepping my mark here but are you and Vince…?" I asked trailing off at the end.
"Together?" She asked and I nodded.
"No. I mean, no… I don't know. It's complicated. I've never done the whole relationship thing. Ever, even in high school. I'd never been kissed until Vince." She said quietly as she sighed.
"That night I met him at the races he came over to talk to me. I was a mess, tripping over my words because I was so nervous. Guys never paid me any attention, I was the "nerd" in high school. A bully's number one target. But Vince, he was nice. He made jokes and made me laugh. We spent the night talking, flirting even and that night when he dropped me off at the dorms we kissed. I don't know how things turned out the way they did but one thing led to another and… well let's just say this was never part of the plan." She said pointing to her still flat stomach while sighing.
"I get it. Believe me I do. Dom and I weren't dating or anything when we first slept together. It kind of just happened. We almost ended up in the same boat as you and Vince." I said honestly, opening up to her like she had to me.
"How did he react, when you told him I mean?" She asked quietly.
"He confronted me about it actually. We hadn't spoken since it had happened, we both knew we hadn't been safe and I had been a virgin so he assumed I wasn't on anything. He was good about it. He wanted a relationship but I told him I didn't want one if I was pregnant."
"Do you mind if I ask why?" She asked curiously.
"Honestly? Because I would have felt like I trapped him. Made him settle for something he didn't really want but was just doing what he thought was right." I confided and she nodded.
"I get it. I feel the same. I wasn't going to tell Vince at first but my best friend convinced me to, said it would be wrong to withhold a child from his father. She's right of course but it's just… awkward." She finished with as grimace.
"How did Vince take it when you told him?" I asked wondering if he had shown the same reaction to her as he had to us that day at the garage.
"He was quiet, went kinda pale but I mean who could blame him? It was the last thing he was probably expecting me to say. We'd been stupid too to be honest, tempting fate. We were never careful, always letting ourselves get caught up in the moment." She sighed as she leaned against the wall opposite me. We'd forgotten about the house tour and were just standing in the hallway talking now.
"You like him don't you?" I asked as I watched her sigh heavily.
"Am I that obvious?" She asked with a sad smile.
"Only to someone who wanted someone that was out of their reach for so long." I said softly with a sad smile.
"You and Dom?" She asked and I nodded.
"Crushed on him for years but I was always just his second little sister." I whispered.
"I'm afraid." She spoke softly.
"Of Vince?" I asked wondering what he'd done to make the poor girl afraid of him.
"Not of him exactly just what I'm getting myself into. I don't want to be that girl who is waiting for a man she may never be able to have. I know Vince's rep. My friends have told me but even if they hadn't it's pretty obvious. Plus it's not just me anymore, I have someone else to think about now. I don't want that life for my child, a different woman walking into their life every week."
"Have you spoken with Vince?" I asked.
"I've tried but I just get so tongue tied when I try and broach it. He said he'd be there for me, whatever I need. The worst part about that is I know one day that's not going to be enough anymore, then where does that leave me?" She whispered making my heart break for the older girl. Vince needed a wake up call. And a good punch in the face.
