Not The Same: Chapter 3: How've You Been?: Letty's POV: "WHAT'S UP BABYGIRL!" Vince hollered. "Hey V!" I replied. Vince took a step out and hugged me so tight, I really couldn't breathe. "I missed you babygirl," he whispered in my ear. "I missed you too," I whispered evenly, "but bro..not..so..tight.." "Oh! Sorry!" Vince let me go quickly and looked me up and down, drinking me in. "What?" I asked him annoyed. "Nothing, you just changed that's all." "Whatever V," I said rolling my eyes, "is Mia home?" "Yeah. She's up-" "OH MY GOD! LETTY!!!!" "-stairs" I looked directly at the stairs and saw Mia charging down them, running over to me. She slammed into me and gave me a hug even tighter than Vince's. "I missed you soooo much Letty! You have no idea! Really, you don't!" she yelled. "Mia, girl I love you, but let me go." "Why?" "Because you're killing me babe!" "Oh! Hehehehe! Sorry!" she said letting me go quickly. "How long are you staying Let?" Vince asked me giving me a glass of water. "Thanks V. I guess for however long you want me," I replied taking a drink. "Forever?" Mia asked me hopefully. "Yeah..ok....I guess" "Ok! V, be a dear and get Letty's stuff out of the car and put it in the guest room. We'll be in there. Come on Let!" She took my hand and dragged me upstairs to the guest room. The guest room was my room before I moved into Dom's room. It was smaller than the other rooms but that didn't bother me much. What did bother me was that it was right next to Dom's room. I can't count how many times I wanted to climb into bed with him with his arms around me. Instead I got to hear the pleasures he was giving to other girls but me, which made me even more pissed. So I basically slept with Mia most of the time since her room was 2 doors down from Dom's. Mia opened the hard wood door and we stepped into my old room. It was the same as before: dressers on the left and right side, closet to the farthest right corner, bed in the middle and a wall mirror on the door. Home sweet home. "So Let, how've you been?" Mia asked me a couple minutes later. "I've been livin' girl. I've been living with my Aunt Jen in Phoenix, Arizona and was working in a small garage. I've made a couple of new friends but other then that, I've just been livin'." "Oh." "How is he Mia?" I asked her catching her off guard. "What?" "How's Dom?" "He's out of it girl. When you left he just totally shut down. For a couple days he wouldn't come out of his room. He only comes out to go to work or eat or take a shower . He's comes out more now but only a little. At the garage he barely does anything . He just looks at a picture of the two of you and the guys are getting really pissed. He's really bitchier too. He yells and snaps a lot girl. He's a total wreck." "How is it like feeling like the only person you truly ever loved made you feel like they don't want you." "He wants you Let. He does really love you." "If he ever loved me he wouldn't hurt me the way he did." "Letty I can tell Dom really loves you. I can tell by the way he looks at you. There is so much love and affection there. You don't see it but other people do and that's what makes all the girls jealous of you. You're the only person that Dom can really look at like that ." "Mia-" "I think it's to forgive and forget Let." "I've been doing that all my life Mia and he still continues to do it." "But Letty-" "No Mia ok! Let's just drop the subject alright?!" "Fine." A few minutes later Vince came in carrying my bags. "Took you long enough," I laughed. "Never knew you had so much stuff." "Whatever V." "Hey Let, we're going to lunch with the team in a couple minutes. You want to come?" Mia asked me. "Yeah sure! But there something I need to check out first." They nodded and I quickly left the room and went next door to Dom's. I opened the door, stepped inside and quickly shut it behind me. His room was the same as the guest room but only bigger. I love the smell of his room. It was a mix of oil and cologne. The way Dom smelled. I walked up to dresser and traced a picture of Dom and me at our beach in Mexico. His arms were wrapped around my waist securely from behind and his chin was resting on my head. We both had cocky smiles on our faces. We were so happy then. What happened? Suddenly I felt big muscular arms wrap around my waist from behind and a deep voice whispering in my ear, "Hey Let". "Hey Dom," I replied.
