Letty's POV
The car ride home was silent. I opened my mouth a few times to say something, to apologise for not telling him, anything, But each time I closed my mouth because I couldn't think of anything to say.
I looked over at Dom as we pulled into the driveway. He didn't look mad, just defeated.
"I'm sorry." He whispered after he'd turned the car off and sat back in his seat.
"I'm sorry too." I apologised.
"I shouldn't have lost my temper. What she said just threw me, we'd had suspicions about you and Carlos but you never seemed fazed about it. We really did believe that you two had just been friends."
"I shouldn't have lied, but can you blame me? What would you have done to him if I had of told you and the others?"
"Lost our shit." He sighed.
"Exactly."
"Some night huh?" He sighed again as he looked over at me with a small tired smile.
"Yeah. I'm sorry about the top. It was such a stupid thing to fight over." I said truthfully.
"Letty you live to wind me up, and I let you. You are your own person, I can't control you and I don't want to. I'm sorry if it came off that way."
"A little. You're right I did wear it in the first place to wind you up."
"It's late let's go in." He said quietly and I sighed before nodding in agreement. He was still mad. Fuck I was still mad.
We made our way out of the car and up to the house. He took his keys out and unlocked it, letting us both in. The house was dark so I found the light switch for the hallway and flicked it on, leaving it on for Jesse and Leon when they eventually came home.
I made my way upstairs but instead of heading for Dom's room I headed for the bathroom. I needed to wash the smell and stickiness of the beer off.
"You showering?" He asked me and I nodded.
"Yeah then I'm going to head to bed. I'll see you in the morning." I said quietly making him frown.
"You're not staying with me?" He asked quietly, confusion clear in his voice.
"No I think after tonight we just need some space to sort ourselves out." I said quietly.
"Okay, if that's what you want. My door is always open though."
"I know."
"So I'll see you in the morning?" He asked for confirmation.
"Yeah." He nodded once before taking a step forward and pressing a kiss against my head. He lingered there for a second longer before he pulled away.
"Night Let."
"Night Dom." I whispered before I shut the bathroom door and left him standing in the hallway.
Dom's POV
I watched the bathroom door close behind her and I sighed heavily before heading to my own room. Tonight had been a disaster. What had started out as a petty fight had turned into a big one.
I yanked my tee off angrily and threw it on the floor, angry at myself for letting what Carlos and Monica said get to me. I thought we'd apologised to each other in the car, put it behind us and we were okay. Obviously I had been wrong. Letty still wanted space so for tonight I'd give it to her but come tomorrow I'd talk to her again and apologise again for my behavior.
Sighing as I heard the shower down the hall switch on I got into bed and curled around Letty's pillow wishing it was her instead. Sleeping tonight was going to suck.
For the first time in a long time the garage was slow, which was good considering I had gone the night with no sleep. We had two cars in and neither were rush jobs, which was also good considering Leon and Jesse were sporting some major hangovers. Vince was taking pleasure in making sure he set all his tools down loudly causing both boys to groan and start bitching.
My focus had been mainly on Letty though. We spoken briefly this morning but it had been work related. She'd also gotten a ride with Vince this morning instead of me leaving me feeling a little uneasy. Were we okay?
"Let's pack it up early." I said just after lunch.
"Thank god." Leon groaned.
"I should make you two stay back and work." I muttered before I walked over to the office where Letty was.
"Let, we're gunna call it a day." I said quietly as I leaned on the door. She gave me a brief look and nodded before turning back to her stack of paperwork. I sighed quietly and stepped further into the room.
"You going to ignore me forever?" I asked quietly causing her to look up at me.
"I'm not ignoring you." She frowned.
"You've only spoken to me today about work Let." I whispered sadly.
"We haven't really had a chance to be alone and talk." She said quietly.
"We could have if you had of rode with me but you chose to ride with Vince." I pointed out and she sighed.
"You're right."
"I thought we apologised last night?"
"We did."
"Then why do I feel like there is something seperating us still?" I asked softly.
"Thats because there's a desk separating us." She joked lightly but I refused to laugh. Her smile quickly dropped and she sighed.
"You're imagining it, we're fine." I stayed silent and weighed up her words.
"Fine?" I asked quietly. She smiled and walked around the desk to stand in front of me.
"Yes."
"You sleeping with me tonight?" I asked catching her hesitation immediately.
"No. So you are ignoring me." I answered myself while sighing heavily.
"I'm not ignoring you. I'm talking to you right now." She pointed out dryly and I rolled my eyes.
"You know what I mean."
"Look I'm just still a little mad okay, I'm sure if you were being honest you are too yeah?" She asked me and I shook my head.
"At myself yes, not you." She seemed surprised and I took the opportunity to take a step forward and cup her face.
"I am not mad at you." I repeated honestly.
"Really?" She whispered.
"Really. I am fucking mad at myself, more now that I know you thought I was mad at you." I said quietly as I rested our foreheads together.
"I'm sorry."
"No I'm sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about." I whispered placing a kiss on her nose.
"You did kinda act like a jerk." She mumbled but I heard it. I laughed and nodded, smiling when she did.
"Yeah I did. I'm so sorry baby."
"It's okay, just try not to do it again okay?" I nodded.
"Promise. We good now?" I asked hopefully.
"Yeah we're good."
"You sleeping with me?" I checked and she nodded smiling.
"Damn Letty I didn't sleep at all last night because I was worrying about you." I sighed as I wrapped my arms around her.
"I didn't sleep either." She admitted.
"Why didn't you come to me?" I asked quietly.
"I thought you were mad at me. For not telling you about Carlos and that stupid top."
"No. I meant what I said last night. I am sorry for acting like I did. All I wanted last night was to hold you. I can't do that from a room away." I spoke softly.
"You could have come to me." She said quietly.
"You asked for space, I respected that. Trust me though I thought about it, all night."
"Let's try not to fight anymore." She asked and I nodded, smiling down at her.
"I'm all for that baby." She leaned up and I met her half way sealing our deal with a kiss.
"I love you." She whispered and I grinned, brushing my lips over hers once more.
"I love you too Let." I whispered back.
"Home?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah let's catch up on some sleep." I said.
"Or we could not..." She hinted and I grinned.
"I like that option too."
