Chapter 11
Letty smiled when she saw Jesse in the kitchen, "hey Jesse." casting her glance to Mia. "Hey chica. Smells good."
Dom kissed Mia on the head and nodded at Vince. Sitting down opposite Letty, he glanced over at Jesse.
"Hey Jesse. Sleep all right?"
"Slept like a rock actually." Jesse muttered through his food.
"Making up for me are ya?" Letty teased. She glanced at Dom and moved her foot under the table to brush against his leg. "So, what you guys doing today?" She asked, playing off what she was doing to Dom.
"Well," Mia moaned, "Vince is gonna go open up the garage and see to the customers, and I'm gonna put in some shopping time!"
Jesse nodded and then looked at Dom. "And what about you?"
Dom stirred restlessly as he fought to control his laughter. Damn that girl knew how to rile a guy. "Me?" He almost choked. "I gotta get to work!"
Letty tried not to grin, brushing her foot with more pressure, she began to draw it up his leg. "Oh yeah? What kinda work you doing today Toretto? Restoring, painting...?"
"Both actually," he smiled through gritted teeth at her, clearly telling her to stop, but really he was enjoying it. "There's a lot to be done!"
Vince put his plate into the sink. "Dom, man, you should take on some extra help, like I told ya!"
Dom shook his head dismissively. "There's not many people I trust," reaching below the table, he pinched her leg teasingly.
Letty's leg spasmed under the table and she kicked the table leg with a grunt and a whimper. She glared at Dom but then raised a brow over at Vince. "You short of people or something."
Vince nodded back. "Yeah, too much work and not enough people to do it!"
Letty nodded slowly, placing her foot onto Dom's crotch, curling her toes to massage him. "We can help," she pointed to herself and Jesse. "I mean, you don't even gotta pay us."
Dom felt the pressure on his crotch and bolted up from the table, almost knocking it over. Everyone looked at him, not sure what was wrong. "You two?" he said quickly as he stood beside Mia. "You two can work cars?" He felt himself blush with embarrassment for his outburst.
Letty burst out laughing and steadied the table. "Wuss!"
Jesse raised a brow at them and then nodded to Dom. "Yeah, course we can. We built our rice rockets." Dom thought over what Jesse had just said. Looking to Vince and Mia, he recieved nods of approval. He licked his lips slowly. "Looks like you got your workforce, Dom!" Mia laughed. She turned back to the sink and Dom pushed off the worktop he'd been leaning against. "Yeah, I'm fine with that. C'mon, let's go, I'll show ya around!" The friends rose from the table and Letty quickly jogged upstairs to get her boots. When she returned she smiled at the others. "You have to take us in your cars, since we don't have one." "Oh, hey, where did Leon go last night?" Jesse asked curiously, heading for the door. "He left last night, something bout not wanting to get in the way!" Mia replied from the kitchen. Dom rolled his eyes as he approached the front door. "Any excuse for a ride, huh?" he teased. Vince grabbed his keys from the living room. "OK, whose with me?" he asked as he tossed them from hand to hand. He tutted and cursed himself openly as he finished. "Right Jess, let's go." "I'm with Vince I guess." Jesse chuckled. He looked to Letty. "What about you baby gurl?" "I'm with V too." she replied, walking with Jesse, arm in arm. Not even bothering to look over her shoulder to Dom, she could feel his disappointed. Dom threw his arms into the air and let them fall again as he rolled his eyes and tutted loudly. "You do know I got an empty seat, right?" he eyed her directly. Letty froze a grin coming to her lips automatically. "That an offer?" He waited till Jesse broke the connection with Letty's arm and followed Vince out of the house. It was just the two of them. He stepped in closer, looking down at her slight but capable form. "That's an offer. What d'ya say?" Sliding a hand to take one of his she rose on her feet to whisper into his ear. "That's a definite yes." Letty traced circles on his hand, glancing down then back at him. "C'mon let's go, Jesse will be shittin' a load of anxiety already." She laughed. Dom leaned down and planted a quick, yet deep, kiss on her cheek. He marvelled at her soft, delicate skin, protected by her bad-ass attitude. There was more to this girl. It would take some digging, but he was confident he would find it.
