Chapter 2:
Gia laughed, but the humor didn't make it to her eyes. "You know how some things are suppose to stay in Cancun? He is one of them."
Dom looked from his little sister to Leon and back. "What?"
"Yeah," Gia continued. "He left me at the hotel one night while he decided to go screw a cabana girl." Her stare cut into Leon as he return the gaze with equal venom.
Dom's jaw tightened and he threw a glance at Leon.
"It did not happen like that." He crossed the room to be only a foot away from Gia. "If you really could remember, I didn't leave you, you left me. I called you and continued to walk away."
"Bull shit. I would have heard you. There wasn't anyone in the damn lobby." She threw her purse down. "You can take that excuse and shove it up your -"
"Whoa. Hey." Vince said, sitting on the love seat. "Just calm down."
"There has to be more to it than that." Letty said. "You two are too fucking mad for only that to have happen."
Mia looked up at Letty. "How can you tell?"
"Well, it has to be. I mean, if it were me and I was that pissed off and someone left me, it would have to be after a night of love making. And not the average, 'we've been dating and screwing each other for the past few months', it would have to be the first time, that special moment."
All eyes were on Letty. Well, all eyes except Gia's, who stared down at her feet, a blush crawling up her cheeks. Dom was he first to notice the slight change in her disposition and in a flash, he had Leon up against the wall.
"Dom, drop him." Mia said, pulling on his arm.
"Dom, stop." Letty grabbed his other arm.
Gia smiled and walked over to Dom. She held his wrist and slowly his grip lessened on Leon as the blood circulation dwindled from Dom's hand. He turned and looked her before letting Leon go.
She turned her attention to Leon. "Look. I saved you once. I won't do it again. And further more, I don't know why you left that morning, but you did. And I cannot let the choices of the past mess up your friendship with Dom. Besides, I haven't been around for years. But if you cross me the wrong way." She took her index and did a slicing motion under her throat.
"Hmm, nice to see you again too."
Gia laughed, but the humor didn't make it to her eyes. "You know how some things are suppose to stay in Cancun? He is one of them."
