Chapter 4 As Leon drew up at the house, he saw Letty go into the house whilst Jesse remained on the porch. Getting out he walked over. "What's up with Letty? Anything wrong?" "Nah, everything's just on schedule." Jesse smirked. "Girl has a jonsing for some love if you know what I'm sayin'." Letty picked up the phone and dialled the number on the paper. She held the phone to her ear, listening intently to the ringing. Mia heard Dom's cell phone ringing from the kitchen. She shuffled past the crowd and lifted the phone. It wasn't a number she recognised. Putting it to her ear, she was keen to know who was calling. "Hello?!" she half-yelled to be heard "Hey!" Letty greeted with equal volume. She recognised Mia's voice and semi- smiled. "Is your brother there?" Mia smiled to herself. Damn, he was right: Letty had called. She put down her drink and started to head upstairs. "Yeah, he's in his room. Hold on." She knocked sharply on Dom's door and opened it without waiting for an invite. "Dom, phone for you!" He bolted upright and eyed her curiously. Was this some joke? He grabbed the phone off her, closed the door on her, and spoke in his deep gravelly voice. "Hello?!" "Wassup?" Letty asked, walking to the kitchen table and taking a seat. "Just thought I'd call and see what you were doing." "Well, that's the best excuse I've heard in a long while," he laughed as he stood at the window, slinging his free hand into the pocket of his combat trousers. "Just admit it girl, you crave me, don't ya?" On the other end, Letty laughed. "Oh yeah. Totally man." She said sarcastically. "I've had cravings before but it's never been for guys. Besides, I knew that you'd get shit from your friend if I didn't. So if you think about I was doing you a favour by calling." "Oh yeah...how you figure that one?" he asked as he looked down at the street. "Well, don't ya think he would've made fun of you if you couldn't get me? I mean, the famous DT not being able to win a chick? Sounds like joke material to me. I just thought since I lost the race I'd do you the favour of calling." She explained coyly, grinning. "Well, now you mention it. You could do me a favour!" "Oh yeah, and what would that be?" she asked, twisting the phone cord around her finger until it threatened to pull out of the wall and she let it go. "The party over here is kinda dull tonight. So how ya feel about coming over an maybe...you and me...could liven things up a bit. Huh?" Letty leaned back in her chair to look at Jesse and Leon, who were busy talking about cars and she shrugged. "Sure, not like there's anything fun going on around here. Will Leon have your address?" "Yep...just tell him to head to the party. He'll lead ya straight here. Bring your friend too...the kid!" "The kid? I think you'll find he ain't a kid." Letty practically growled at him, standing up for Jesse. She hated when guys like Dom said he was a kid or the 'little guy'. She sighed, knowing they didn't know better and hung up.
