Chapter 2
Letty
sunk herself onto the cheap motel bed. They had been in Florida for all of 4
days, and already she was bored and frustrated. She sighed. Looking over at Mia
who had managed to sleep late. Usually it was the other way around, but Letty could
not sleep. She hadn't spoken to Dom since they left L.A. She avoided him any
chance she got. Laying her head back on the pillow, she remembered their stupid
fight, and then what happened afterward.
**Flashback**
It
had been two days since Brian had come back and the team had already decided it
was time for them to leave. Brian had told them he had resigned and after what
he did for Dom, no one questioned his sincerity. She had been suspicious at
first, but she knew how muc
Vince,
Letty had tried not to think about him gone. If there was anyone in the group
she was really close to other than Dom it was Vince. He had always put on the
tough guy act but she saw right through him. He was always her big baby. Vince
had helped her through countless fights with Dom, and stopped her from breaking
up with him just as many times. But Vince wasn't here now, and she needed him.
She
blinked back tears as her thoughts drifted back to Dom and their fight. God! He
was such a fucking asshole, and dammit she was tired of taking him back every
time. But this time, there was more to it.
Last
night, Dom had wanted to go to one last race to get some money for their
impending trip. But Letty didn't think it was a good idea 'cause the cops were
already on their asses. He flipped out and said, that she didn't fucking
control him and if he wanted to go he would. She told him that the last time
she listened to him, she ended up with two broken ribs and Vince died. Knowing she
made a mistake in saying that by the furious look on his face, she tried to
apologize, but he wouldn't listen. He shouted at the top of his lungs, calling
her a bitch. Then Leon came downstairs and heard Dom. Knowing Dom was starting
to go crazy , he tried to calm him down, which earned him a fist in the face.
Mia ran downstairs hearing all the commotion and yelled at Dom while trying to
help Leon. Letty had taken one look at Leon's face, and went fists flying for
Dom. Dom held her back, trying to avoid her flying fists and legs, and then he
used both his hands and violently pushed her away. Letty felt herself slam
against the wall and slid down in shock. Dom looked in horror as he realized
what he did. Mia got up from where she was with Leon to help Letty up and then
she turned to Dom and slapped him, hard across the face.
Dom
had looked at everyone and walked out of the room slamming the door behind him,
shaking the whole house.
**
End Flashback**
She
sighed again. She remembered waiting for him to come home that night, and not
seeing him she had went looking for him. She had gone to all their favorite
places and still hadn't found him. While driving back home she saw Dom getting
out of his car. She had stopped the car and was about to yell his name, when
she saw a girl get out of the car with him. They had gotten out and walked into
a house, a house the girl had a key for. Letty had frozen, usually she would
have been out of the car in a second, but after what had happened she couldn't
even remember what to do. Then she saw
the girl take his hand and drag him into the house with her.
Letty
had spun her car around, her tires screeching in protest. She had been to numb
to cry, to numb to do anything but drive. So she drove around for hours. She
remembered the first time she had found out he had cheated on her. It wasn't so
much that he had been with any girl, but it had been one of her enemies. Monica
Tran. It had nearly torn her apart, but she had had Vince then, it hadn't been
so hard. But she was alone now. She remembered her words when she found out.
She had told him that it had better be the first and the last, or he would have
to find someone else. Knowing she couldn't go back to the house, although she
knew that Mia was probably freaking out at both Dom and her disappearances, she
drove far out of LA. She had ended up crashing in some old motel, not knowing
where the hell she was or what she was going to do when she go back.
Letty
shook her head, clearing her thoughts. God! That had been one of the worst
nights of her life. But the worst was just beginning. She sighed, slowly she
got out of the bed, not wanting to stay there any longer. Deciding she was
going to take a shower grabbed a towel and wandered into the bathroom.
Mia lifted her head from the pillow, hearing the
bathroom door click shut. Looking around for her sweater and jeans, she quickly
changed. She left the room and ventured over to Brian's adjoining room. Looking
to see if Leon or Dom was in there and seeing that they weren't she jumped on
Brian.
Brian felt something heavy on his back and grunted
loudly. "Ugh!"
Mia laughed and bent her head to the side, lowering
it to kiss him on the cheek and continued to move her lips down his neck. "Good
Afternoon baby. . ."
Flipping himself over he grabbed Mia and moved so
she was sitting on top of him. "What are you doing over here, woman??"
"Letty's in the shower and I was bored feigning
sleep." She suddenly frowned. Remembering Letty and Dom's situation.
"So have you talked to Dom yet, baby??"
Brian slowly stopped moving his hand up her thigh.
An uneasiness coming over him as he remembered his conversation with Dom. "Uh,
yeah. . ."
"What did he say??"
Brian sighed. "Nothing really. He just doesn't
understand what's driven him and Letty so far apart."
Mia snorted. "I know exactly what, him being a pig
that's what!"
She rolled off him and moved to sit beside him
against the headboard. " I still can't believe he pushed her like that, and
then just leaving and not even coming back until the next day. How the fuck
does he expect her not to be bad at him. Who knows where he was all night!"
Turning her head, she glanced at Brian. Seeing his
ever-growing uneasiness, she began to suspect something. "Or is that it, where did
he go that night??"
Brian flipped the covers off the bed and grabbed
some underclothes heading for the shower. "I think you should stay out of this
one Mia, they always get back together after their fights no matter how long
they are." But even Brian was skeptical about this one. Dom had told him he had
only ever cheated on Letty once before, and Letty had told him if it happened
again, they were over. Somehow, Brian thought Letty already knew Dom hadn't
been faithful. She was being totally un-Letty around Dom and refused to even
look at him. Dom was killing himself with guilt and had tried several times to
talk to her, but Letty always brushed him off.
Mia narrowed her eyes at her boyfriends
evasiveness. She knew he knew something but could see he wasn't going
to tell her anything else. Anyways,
maybe he was right. Maybe she should stay out of this one. But she wondered if
this was going to be the thing that would break up Letty and her brother. She
remembered when they had first gotten together. Letty had been sixteen and Dom
had been twenty-two. They had been the most volatile couple she had ever seen,
but they had also been the most passionate and had always been inseparable too.
She knew that if they broke up, it would destruct the foundation of their team.
Looking up she saw Brian heading for the bathroom.
Stripping her clothes of quickly behind him, she whistled softly catching his
attention. "Need company??"
Brian grinned. "There's always room for one more!"
Dom got out of his car and headed for the hotel. He
had gone out in the morning for breakfast, but it was almost time to bounce
over to Dwayne's crib. He was still a little weird about seeing Dwayne again.
It had been so long ago when they had been kids. Running quickly up the steps
to their room, he smiled as he remembered the time Dwayne and him had the bet
to see who would date the most popular girl in school. He laughed as he
remembered Dwayne's words when eh found out Dom had won, "She just couldn't handle
the dark chocolate love!" Dom had never
let him live it down.
Dom hesitated before knocking on Mia and Letty's
room door. He knew Mia was probably with Brian but he needed to talk to Letty.
It was a talk that was long overdue. Yet, he knew that if he told her, he just
might lose her. But almost anything would be better than, this growing space
between them. Knocking sharply on the door he waited.
Letty stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel
around herself loosely lightly jogging to the room door, as she heard the
knocking. Thinking it was Mia she opened it without looking to see who it was
and began to walk back to the bathroom.
Dom stepped into the room closing the door behind
him. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. If this had been any other occasion,
nothing could have stopped him from going over to her and removing the towel
from her body. Dom could feel himself beginning to respond and shifted
uncomfortably.
As soon as she heard the door close, the hairs
stood up on her neck. She knew that it was Dom who stepped into the room and
not Mia. Turning around she looked at him stonily. Not betraying anything in
her expression. But she knew it wouldn't do anything, he could always read her,
like no one else could.
Dom saw the unwariness in her face. An emotion that
he knew was almost alien to Letty.
"What do you want??"
Dom folded his arms across his chest. "We need to talk"
Letty rolled her eyes. "About what Dom?? What is
there that we really need to talk about?"
"What's wrong with you, why the silent treatment??"
Letty snorted. Putting her hands on her hip in
disbelief. "Don't fuck with me Dom, you know I'm anything but naive!"
Dom moved closer, seeing some of the real Letty
return. "I'm not fucking with you, you know I'm sorry about hurting you, I've
already tried to apologize."
Letty was furious, it was as if he'd forgotten what
he'd done. Shouting now she decided to lay all the cards on the table. "FUCK,
you must be the biggest asshole I know, I'm not fucking talking about pushing
me, I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU FUCKING THAT SKANK!!"
Dom immediately thought Brian had told her. But he
could finally understand the silence and her avoidance. He walked up to her and
grabbed her arms.
"Baby, I'm sorry, I was upset about what happened I
couldn't deal with what I did to you."
Letty violently jerked herself back. "DON'T YOU
FUCKING TOUCH ME!! " She stepped back, her body slightly shaking with rage.
"I followed you that night, thinking I would calm
you down, and tell you I wasn't mad, and then I saw you walk into her house. I
SAW HER FUCKING PULLING YOU INTO THE HOUSE, AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HESITATE FOR A
SECOND!!"
Not even thinking about what she was doing she
lifted her arms and punched him in the face. She didn't stop to register what
she was doing she just kept punching him, in the ribs, on his arms. She tried
to make him hurt just as much as she was hurting.
"I WON'T TAKE YOU BACK THIS TIME DOM, I MEAN IT.
IT'S OVER I'VE HAD ENOUGH!" Her arms were grasped tightly in one of his hands, as
she heard him fight for breath.
Dom sucked in air, holding her wrists down and
together with difficulty while she struggled. He could feel the beginnings of
bruises all over his body. He tasted blood on his lower lip. "DAMMIT LETTY, I'm
sorry, I can't take it back, but I would, you know that!" He could feel her
slowly begin to shake. Knowing she was crying, his voice got softer. His heart
broke as he heard her soft cries. Her tough girl act was gone, and instead he
saw the little girl he used to take care of, the one who always wanted to
please everyone, but thought that she was never enough.
Letty couldn't control herself anymore. It was as
if all the hurt over the years with him and all the fights, were releasing
themselves. Not once had she cried, not even when she had found out he cheated
the first time. She hadn't cried since she was 16, when she found out her
father died. She had vowed she'd never let anything or anyone else hurt her.
Slowly she sank to the floor in Dom's arms.
"It hurts so much. . ."
Dom cradled her in his arms. He turned her
tear-streaked face towards his, a tightening in his heart as he realized what
he was doing to her. "I'm so sorry, God! I love you Letty, I love you so
much..."
Letty lifted her head towards his, knowing she
shouldn't, but she wanted . . . needed comfort. She needed him.
Dom could see what she was asking for with her eyes
and grasped her face in his hands. He lowered his mouth onto hers and took her
lips. Slowly and gently he opened her mouth, giving it access to his
tongue. Gently while having his mouth
still on hers he, picked her up and carried her to the bed. Laying her down
gently
he preceded to remove her clothes.
Letty helped Dom rid her of the barriers between
them and started to lift his shirt over his head. Their lovemaking had always
been fast and frantic, but this time it was slow and sweet. And for the first
time Letty felt cherished.
When all the barriers were dispensed with, Dom
began his slow journey down her body with his lips and tongue. Gently sucking
on her neck, his hands wandered down her stomach, lightly caressing everything
he touched. His hands reached her core and he felt her offer herself to him.
His lips contiued his quest downwards.
Gently circling her aureole with his tongue he
began to suck lightly on her nipple, nipping slightly. He lifted his head to
move on to the next breast and felt her hands on his head pushing him to
continue his onslaught of her senses.
Letty pushed Dom's head down toward her other breast,
while opening her legs to welcome the warmth of his hand. She began to buck at
his wild fingers and she began to twist and turn as his hands moved underneath
her buttocks as his mouth took the place of his hands. She began to knead his
bald head, urging him to keep going.
Dom could feel her clenching and knew she was about
to come. Sliding up her body he kissed her lips, and slipped gently inside her.
It was a perfect fit, he knew they were made for one another. Kissing her
gently, he began to move slowly but with sure strokes. He could feel her
getting impatient, but he wanted to please her, he wanted her to know she was
special.
Wrapping her legs around him, Letty moved with him.
She had never felt more like she belonged with him. She could feel herself
reaching her peak and began to speed up the rhythm. Grabbing behind his head
she kissed him. As they moved faster and faster she felt something build up
inside her, until she felt like she was going to burst. Suddenly, she felt herself falling over that
edge and cried out in pleasure.
Dom jerked his head up as he heard her say the
three little words he had longed to hear. Crying out he spilt his seed inside
her.
Letty felt his heavy but familiar weight on top of
her. She loosely wrapped her arms around him. She had finally brought herself
to say them. She had said the words she had felt ever since she was 8 years
old. She had always known if she'd said it , he'd own her completely. And now
he owned her heart to its full capacity.
Dom looked at her all his love for her shining in
his eyes. His eyes began to tear, as he thought of losing her. "God! I'm so
fucking sorry Let, I'm so sorry."
Letty covered his mouth with her finger; the pain
was still too raw. She felt him bury his head in her shoulder, and she felt his
shoulders shake gently. She lifted her arms and cradled his head, though she
knew he was sorry. She took some comfort to know he was hurting just as much as
she was.
