Things Change: Chapter 6
Nobody's POV
Leon waited impatiently as Dom walked down the stairs. "Why are you interrupting me on my day off? Can't you handle the garage by yourself?" Dom asked, upset that him and Letty were interrupted.
"Man, some of Tran's gang are down at the garage, and they won't leave until they see you. They wouldn't tell any of us what it was about," Leon replied.
Dom rubbed his temples. "Don't those fucks have anything better to do than bother us?" Letty walked down the stairs, left hand on the railing.
"What fucks are we referring too?" she asked as she came down to the floor and stood beside Dom. Leon looked from Dom to Letty, thinking he knew what was going on. He held in a smirk.
"Tran's gang." Dom replied emotionlessly. Letty rolled her eyes.
"Of course. They seem to have nothing better to do than to mess up our day off. Might as well get going." Dom pushed past Leon and out the door, Letty following. Leon just smiled before following.
Dom's POV
I drove alone in my car, Letty went with Leon. Dammit. Why'd he have to do that?! Things were just starting to get interesting.
I pull up in the garage and shut off the engine before stepping out. "What do you want?"
"We have some business we need to take care of. You are to pay us the money, now. Or things will get ugly," Lance, Johnny's cousin, says holding up a gun. His 3 followers do the same.
"You come up here in OUR territory, interrupt my day off, and are just all around pissing me off for some shit? Well, I don't care. Tell Johnny to kiss my ass. We'll settle this on Friday night." I reply, my anger showing through.
Lance doesn't reply. He gets on his crotch-rocket and drives off as the other 3 do the same.
"Now that that's settled, I'm going home. I'm sure you all can handle the garage from here. If they come back, just beat the shit outta them." I look at the guys and Mia.
Mia chuckles. "Yea, Dom, we'll be fine. They just wouldn't leave. Go back, and enjoy the rest of your day off. I don't think they'll wanna mess up your day off again anytime soon."
Letty's POV
Wow. That was just…wow. I can't believe that actually happened. I mean, with Dominic Toretto!! I must be dreaming or something.
I stand beside Mia as Dom is yelling at lance. Mia whispers to me. "I hope things are going well on your day off." I turn my head and look at her. She just smiles and winks at me before going to stand beside Dom as those assholes finally leave.
"Yea, Dom, we'll be fine," Mia answers Dom's question. "They just wouldn't leave. Go back, and enjoy the rest of your day off. I don't think they'll wanna mess up your day off again anytime soon." Dom rubs his hands over his face. "Ok, Mia. You coming, Let?"
"Um, yea, let's go," I respond to him walking to his car and sliding in the passenger seat. He walks around to the driver's side and gets in, starting up the car and driving away from the garage. We drive in silence for awhile. I'm sure the thoughts running through our heads are the same. Finally Dom breaks the silence.
"Figures Tran would ruin my day," he says, trying to break the ice. I continue to look out the window. "Yea…" He glances over at me and sighs slightly. The rest of the drive is quiet and uneventful.
Dom's POV
I pull up in front of my house and cut the engine. I sit there, thinking. Letty does the same. I look over at her, and after a few seconds she looks at me. We just look at each other, before she says something.
"So…um…about earlier…" she says, her cheeks getting a pinkish tint. I smile as I recall what happened earlier, before we were so rudely interrupted. "Yea…about earlier…" I answer, trying to get her to say something along the lines of "she liked it" or "she wants me" or well something.
"That was…um…well, amazing." She looks at me. "I just…Dom…well um….you know that I….well had this huge crush on you….when I was like 13, right? Yea, of course you did." I nod. "Well," she continues. "I…um…still do. And…I just need to know….bcuz what happened earlier….Dom, how do you feel about me?"
I lean back slightly as I pause to think and take it all in. She still likes me… "Let…I…wow…you still do. I didn't even know…I thought you got over me." I look at her face and see her expression fall as I said that. "No, I don't mean it like that. You…you know I'm not good with the whole feelings thing. But….well…I'll just say it." I draw in a breath. "Letty Ramirez…….." I pause.
"You what?" she asks, leaning forward.
"Letty…I love you." I finally finish. She just looks at me for what seems like hours. Silence. Not good.
Letty's POV
Why is he so confusing?! "You what?" I ask, leaning forward towards Dom. What…you what?
"Letty…I love you." He finishes. I just stare at him. Did he just say…
"Wha…what…did you say?" I question him.
"I love you, Letty. And I always have…I just didn't know it." He offers a small smile and his cheeks turn a dull shade of pink. I'm in shock. This is too much….
"Dom, I love you to," I replied easily. "But…it's not that easy. We don't even really know each other, and back there…in the house…we could have just ruined any friendship we had." I turn my gaze downwards as I crack my fingers, a habit I do when I'm nervous.
He covers my small hands with his larger ones and I look up into his big, brown eyes. "I have all the time in the world," he stated simply.
I smile and lean over to kiss him. Not hard and demanding like up in his room, but soft and full of love. I pull back and look at him. "It's our day off, we should go chill."
He smiles back. "Good idea. Maybe we'll even learn a thing or 2 about each other." He opens his door to get out and I do the same. As we walk up the steps he puts his arm around my waist. I smile to myself. Life actually means something…
