~Dom's POV~
Fuck! What am I going to do? Now Letty's mad at me. I've got this huge weight on my chest from all the worrying I've been doing in the last half hour.
"I've got to find her." I say quietly. Thinking to myself where she would go, I realize. She'd go to our place, where she always goes when we fight.
I go back to the store and peel out in my car. I need to talk to someone, to her, about this. How am I going to tell Gin? How will she take it? Will she cry? Will she hurt herself?
Jumbled thoughts swirl through my head. I've got to break some of the biggest news to a girl I don't really know. Letty's mad at me and I hate it. Even having her mad at me for a few minutes, I can't take it. Damn stubborn Letty! I'm just as stubborn. Shifting into 5th, I race along the shoreline, looking for the rock that marks our spot. Spying it, I almost do a donut in my hurry to park. I get out of the car and walk onto the beach, combing it with my eyes for a tan figure dressed in leather. I see her boots sitting on a rock, but I don't see her. Then, I see her clothes a little farther down. She must be in the water.
She surfaces and I watch her swim, ride the waves with her body. She's so beautiful and she takes on a whole new beauty when wet. Suddenly, I get the crazy urge to go to her. I slip off my wife beater and boots, then remove my pants so I'm standing only in my boxers. She doesn't see me as I run into the water and surface behind her. She flings her hair into my face and I take in her scent. I grab her waist and she yelps, turning around to me very surprised.
I brush a few strands of hair from her cheek and kiss her passionately. She pulls back, frowning and looks at me. She seems about to say something, but then pulls me closer and we kiss again. After we can't tread water anymore, we retire to the beach. My back is against the hot rock that marks our spot and hers is to my chest. We sit there, watching the sun go down, in perfect harmony, until I remember why we fought in the first place.
"Let?"
"Yeah."
"The reason I was so angry this afternoon.well, I got a call."
"From who?"
"Well, it was kind of an accident." "What do you mean?"
"Well, Gin left her cell in her bag that she left in the garage when she went to talk to Jess. It rang, and she didn't seem to hear it so I figured I needed to pick it up. I answered it and it was her friend Jack. He told me there'd been an accident."
"What kind of accident?" She asks turning around and sitting up.
"Gin..Gin's dad. Well..Let, he died."
"WHAT?"
"I. that's what Jack said. He said that her dad was in a car accident. His, his blood alcohol level was 1.6. He was driving too fast and just slammed into a tree."
"Oh my god." Letty hugged me tightly and I wrapped my arms around her delicate body.
"How do I tell Gin? I mean, what the hell is she going to do?"
"She hates him. I know that much. I don't know. Maybe Jess should tell her. He wouldn't have the heart though."
"I think I should just tell her and get it over with."
We dress and ride separately back to the house. Everyone's sitting around the living room, laughing at the Jackie Chan movie playing.
"Look who's back!" Leon laughs. When neither of us smile or even glare, he stops laughing. "What's wrong?"
"I need to talk to Gin now." I say.
"Ok, what's up?" She smiles.
"Maybe you want to hear this in the kitchen."
"No, I'm ok here." She says, not understanding.
"Gin, today your cell rang while you were in the office. I answered it and it was your friend Jack calling. He said your dad had been in an accident." I paused, looking at her. Her face was expressionless. "He, he had a little too much to drink and crashed his car into a tree. He died on impact. I'm so sorry."
"No soy arrepentido. El fue un cabrón. Necesito salir de aquí. Yo se veré luego." ~ I'm not sorry. He was a bastard. I need to get out of here. I'll see you later. ~
"Gin," Jesse starts to get up and follow her.
"Ah y Letty? Dice Jesse, no ahora, y yo lo llamaré." ~ Oh, and Letty? Tell Jesse, not now, and I will call him. ~
She walks out the room, her face masked of emotion. Letty tells us what she said. "I'm going." Jesse says.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Jess." Letty warns him,
"Trust me, Let. If you knew half the stuff he did to her while she was alive...She needs someone." He runs to his car to follow her.
