LETTY::: I admit it, I was a bit worried about Dom and the team, but I knew I shouldn't be, they damn well could handle themselves! So, with that thought sitting determinedly in my head, I went back to work on my baby, my Supra.
By the time Dom and the others got back about an hour later, my car was finely tuned, cleaned and waxed.I was not so good looking! Grease was smeared on my clothes and from the sticky feeling on my cheek, I'd say on my face too. My hair was pulled back in a high ponytail, and I still had a huge bruise on my left cheek, not to mention my ribs, arms, legs and neck!
Still, I felt good. I quickly gave Leon, Vince, Mia and then Dom a once over with my eyes to make sure they weren't hurt, and other than the odd occasional scratch they looked fine.
"Tony's sleepin, so's Jesse." I said, grabbing a case of corona's out of the fridge, and throwing one to each of them.
Leon grunted, "So much for them stayin here and watchin out for you."
I rolled my eyes. "More like makin sure I didn't come and whip some fugly ass myself!" I said.
Dom grabbed me and pulled me onto the couch and for the rest of the night, well, morning, we watched cheesy old films. Everyone was still hyped from the fight and couldn't sleep, and I had slept so long that I couldn't again right now even if I tried.
When it rounded on to about 7:00 Dom took me upstairs and made sweet love to me. Not the usual passionate whirlwind sex, but slow, lazy, gentle pleasure that seeped down to my very core. I guess he was worried he'd hurt me, not that I minded!
I think then that I fell asleep, listening to Dom's heartbeat as I was lying atop him. Around about 9:00 Vince knocked on our room, yes that's right, Dom had officially made it my room too, moved all my stuff in when I was unconscious, and said that it was staying right where it was! That I belonged with him. That I belonged to him.
Vince announced that Tony had just gotten a mysterious call, and wanted us all down to the lounge room as soon as possible. I felt dread ease into my heart, hoping that that call had nothing to do with the fight.
DOM::: I hadn't slept at all, after making love to Letty, and hearing her even breathing soon after, I lay, looking at the ceiling, thinking. I had almost completely lost control during the fight. I still couldn't get over the fact that I could have lost Letty. She had become so precious to me during the last week that I don't think I could really ever live without her. It excited and scared me.
I walked slowly down the stairs, with Letty trailing behind me. The whole time that we dressed and now while we walked into the lounge room, I hadn't been able to let go of her, and so her hand was lying lightly in mine.
