'Do you really have to leave?' Letty asked as she helped heave the bags out
to the curb. Tori laughed as she swung her bag into the trunk. Erin was
saying good-bye to Jesse. It was hard because she wanted to marry him as
soon as she could, but both of them agreed that they should wait a bit
before they married. After all, Cammi and Tori still had that whole racing
thing going on in another state. But it didn't matter; they'd definitely be
back.
'Sorry, I wish we could stay longer. I really do.' She said turning around and looking at Letty with a worried look. 'So no one knows what happened to Ril...I mean, David?' Letty shook her head.
'Edwin and the guys managed to hit a few of his goons but he and his lady of lunacy got away.' Letty said crossing her arms. Tori frowned.
'And you're sure you'll be okay?' she said in a low voice. 'I just don't want you to get hurt.'
'You could always stay...' Letty said smiling. Tori shook her head, a sad smile fixed on her face as she loaded the last bag into the car.
'Sorry, girl. This is just an opportunity we can't pass up. The racing scene in this place is HOT!' Tori said as she slammed the trunk shut. 'Don't worry, we'll come back. As soon as you and Dom decide when your wedding is...' Tori smiled and winked, as Letty hit her on the arm.
'I swear you'll be the first to know if that ever happens.' Letty said with a laugh. She then looked in the car to see a sleeping Deryck, snoring as usual. 'So, I thought you said, a long time ago, you wouldn't be caught dead with this fool?' Letty laughed. Tori shrugged as Erin got into the back.
'What can I say? Opposites must attract!' She said as she climbed into the driver's side.
'Any chance of a wedding? Maybe even kids?' Letty teased. Again Tori shrugged.
'Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But I'm not saying it won't ever happen...'
'God, I don't think that boy should be allowed to reproduce!' Letty laughed. Tori threw a small silver bag at her and laughed.
'Just remember girl. Anytime you need me, or Erin or Cammi. Don't be afraid to call.' She then pulled out, waving and sped off down the road. Letty looked down at the bag. She opened it and pulled out a tiny metal ring and a note.
Dear Letty,
Jesse gave me this idea. Not half bad for a midget with ADD. Just kidding. Listen, when you feel the time is right to tell Dom you love him (and I know you do, so don't lie!) then give him this. It's no 14K gold diamond ring, but it is the piston ring from the first car you ever raced. And sentimentally, its worth more than all the gold in the world (cheesy huh, but what can you expect, Erin's helpin' me write this) Love ya like a sis, always and forever,
Tori, Erin and Cammi
PS. We'll be back some day. Erin and Jesse still have to get married, and if that bonehead boy of yours ever gets around to asking, so do you! An don't worry, me and Deryck are going to be just fine. L8ah!
Letty smiled to herself as she folded up the note and placed it in her back pocket.
'Letty!' Dom called to her. 'Come on! I wanna spend some time with my girl!' Letty smiled at being called this. She thought about it for a minute. Belonging to Dom forever, that was heavy stuff, and he still had to prove he was trustworthy. She held out the shiny metal ring. She then slipped it into her pocket and walked back up the driveway. Maybe she would give it to Dom. Someday.
