After Letty and Mari decides on taking their friendship another step, things happen, and their "relationship" doesn't work out the way they expected it to.

Chapter Fourteen

Letty stood outside of Mari's house and saw everything that was happening through the window. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she knew it wasn't good news because she saw them on the couch and now them hugging. Letty couldn't believe what she was seeing. Is Dom cheating on Letty with Mari now? Or was Mari doing the same thing she was doing with Letty, but also with Dom? Letty had all these thoughts going through her head and she didn't know what to believe.

"I think I should go now. It's getting late," Dom said, pulling away from the hug.

"Yeah, you don't want her to think you're at Tran's again," Mari joked.

"Aight, so I'll see you around," Dom smiled as Mari led accompanied him to the front door.

"Yeah, see ya," Mari replied.

"Bye bitch," Dom said after he swung open the door and turned around to take a step, but was stopped.

"Yeah, a bitch she is!"

Dom and Mari were both surprised to find Letty standing there.

"Letty, what are you--" Dom started.

"No, what are YOU doing here?" Letty cut him off. "I thought it was a little too late to go get some fresh air," Letty added, "or was it a fresh fuck?" she mocked Dom.

"Look, I only came to talk to her and to work out our friendship," Dom told her.

"Yeah, sure, that's what they all say," Letty replied. "I saw you two holding each other on the couch and shit, ok? You can't lie this time. Both of you!"

"Were you following me? How did you know I was here?" Dom questioned.

"Right after you blew me off, I took the stupid walk I planned on taking, but was gonna drop by Mari's house just to piss you off cause you thought I was going there, but decided against it. Then when I pass by, I see yo' big ol' shiny head through her window," Letty answered.

"Ok, I was just about to go to bed and then the two most unexpected people show up at my door," Mari told Letty. "Dom and I were just talking about our friendship, THAT'S it. I'm telling the truth this time and so is he."

"My eyes don't lie," Letty flatly said.

"About the things you saw, it meant nothing," Dom responded.

"It's not convincing enough," Letty shot back.

"Ok, I'm just gonna tell you straight out. No more lies, no more hiding!" Dom said.

Letty stood there with her arms crossed, waiting for what Dom had to say. Mari was shooting Dom a 'don't-do-it' look, but Dom responded with a 'I'm-sorry-but-I-have-to' look.

"Mari and I had--" Dom began, but was cut off by Mari.

"Picked out an engagement ring for you!" Mari blurted. "Yes, Dom and I had picked out an engagement ring for you. He just needed my advice."

"Yeah, we went to go pick out an engagement-- what? an engagement ring?" Dom looked at Mari like she was crazy. Mari just shrugged.

"You two are the *shittiest* liars that I've ever met," Letty commented.

"Listen, I need my beauty sleep and I don't want to deal with this right now. We can deal with this in the morning, ok?" Mari whined.

"Ya know what? You're right. I don't need to deal with this either. Josie Marilyn, you can have this man," Letty patted Dom's shoulder. "I guess I can't have everything. It's either a real friendship or a real man, not both. I guess I can't have a real woman either," Letty finished before she stormed off with tears in her eyes.

"Letty!" both Dom and Mari yelled, but Letty continued walking and ignored them.

"Why didn't you just let me tell her?" Dom sighed.

"Because that would make it worse," Mari replied. "She doesn't need anymore excuses to completely stop talking to each me."

"Oh, so it's all about you now? What about me? She got enough reasons to stop seeing me and by me not telling her the truth would add to it," Dom explained.

"Ya know what? This shit is getting out of hand," Mari rubbed her face.

"You weren't listening to me, were you?" Dom asked with a dramatic sigh.

"Yes I was," Mari answered. "I just don't know who should tell her."

"Why can't both of us do it?"

"Because I don't want to do more damage than I already have," Mari replied.

"I don't care what you think anymore. It'll hurt us both one way or another so we're both telling her," Dom said to her sternly. "Let's go!" he grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the house.

"Ok, so I guess I definitely won't leave out that part where you tried to kiss me and touch me and get me to sleep with you again and not let Letty know of all this," Mari told Dom.

"We'll leave that part out, unless she asks. We'll just tell her about the past," Dom stopped in his tracks and Mari ran into him.

"That is so not fair cause she'll hate me for sleeping with you, but she won't have a reason to be mad at you," Mari responded.

"Oh yeah she will. For sleeping with you!" Dom replied, then continued walking.

"No, you didn't like her and didn't know she had feelings for you back then," Mari explained.

"She'll be pissed off anyways," Dom said.

When they got to Dom's house, they entered quietly. All the lights were shut and there was no sign of any living creature. They assumed Letty was in her and Dom's bedroom so they went in there. Letty was there indeed, lying on the bed with her head in the pillow and crying. When Letty heard the door open, she got up and saw both Dom and Mari standing in front of the door.

"I don't ever wanna see both of you ever again," Letty screamed, throwing the pillows at them. Both Dom and Mari blocked the flying cushions and walked over to Letty. Letty reached over to the nightstand and grabbed the first thing she could and was ready to throw it at them.

"Letty, stop," Dom said as he grabbed Letty's arm and removed the object from her grip. "We need to talk to you."

"There's nothing to talk about. Get your hands off me!" Letty yelled, prying Dom's hands away from her.

"Fine, I won't touch you, but we have something to tell you," Dom said, letting her go.

"I don't want to know. I know enough already," Letty responded.

"We want you to know because we also think you should know," Mari spoke up.

"I already know you're a cheating whore," Letty coldly said to Mari.

"Look, I know you're pissed off, but what happened between Dom and I before was nothing. We had some history together that no one really knows about and we feel you should know. Before you and Dom got together, Dom and I kinda had a relationship. It wasn't something big, but you can say we were kinda experimenting like how you and I were. However, the thing is, Dom and I lost our virginities to each other and the only reason we did that was because Dom was and still is as very special friend to me and vise versa. We trust each other," Mari explained. " The only reason why you don't know about this is because I felt guilty after what had happened because I knew you were in love with Dom. I didn't want to lose our friendship. What Dom and I did was so right, yet so wrong. I'm sorry Letty."

"You are such a fuckin liar!" Letty screamed at Dom, shoving him. "You told me I was your first!" Letty started tearing. "At least you didn't fuck my best friend? Bullshit! You fucked her before I even did!"

"Dominic didn't want to hurt your feelings," Mari replied.

"And you! You told me Yisela was your first," Letty said.

"Yeah she was. My first... female sex partner," Mari nervously laughed, trying to lighten up the mood.

"I can't believe you! I trusted you and you slept with Dom? Maybe we shouldn't even be friends, let alone start a relationship," Letty said.

"Letty, I'm very sorry, please forgive me," Mari responded.

"Why did you wait to tell me all this now?" Letty questioned.

"We figured, what you don't know, can't hurt you," Mari answered.

"How about you Dom? What do you have to say for this?" Letty asked.

"I'm very sorry Letty. I'd understand if you decide not to forgive me and Mari, but I still have a little bit of feelings for Mari. I asked her to start over with me, but she refused because she knew it was gonna hurt you more. She told me that she learned from her experience with you not to betray her friends anymore," Dom responded.

"Yeah, when I was with you, I was hurting Dom. I never really realized it until he let me know how much trust he puts in me," Mari added.

"Okay, so where do we go from here? Just pretend nothing happened?" Letty said sarcastically.

"That's an option," Mari responded.

"No, it isn't! You can pretend nothing happened but I can't," Letty replied. "I'll always remember what you did and what he did. I can't trust any of you anymore."

"Okay, so what do you want to do now?" Mari questioned Letty. "If you can't seem to move on and forget the past, then what are you gonna do? Hold a grudge against us forever?"

"This is so unfair!" Letty said.

"Nothing is fair," Mari replied.

"So are you guys making me choose?" Letty asked. "Is that it?"

"We're not making you choose anything or any of us. You can decide what you want to do so we can just end this whole confusion and chaos," Dom said.

"Yeah, we need to solve this. Not talking to each other isn't going to solve anything," Mari added.

After a moment of silence, Letty spoke up.

"I don't know what I want anymore," Letty responded. "God damn it, I just want things to be the way it use to be. Mari, why did you have to tell me you had feelings for me? Why? This whole thing wouldn't have happened if you didn't tell me."

"I love you too much," Mari replied.

"Alright, I had enough of the 'I love you' excuses. It don't work on me no more," Letty responded.

"But I really--" Mari started.

"I need some time and space to think," Letty cut her off. "Please leave."

"Hey, this is my bedroom too," Dom said.

"Go sleep on the couch," Letty mumbled as she tossed him a blanket and a pillow and shoved them out of the room.
