Camping Trip: Chapter 8: Letty's POV:

That night, Mia still wasn't talking to me. She wasn't talking to anyone, actually. All she did was read her stupid romance novel, ignoring everyone and everything around her. It was like she was in her own little world.

Vince made a little campfire and we toasted marshmallows on a stick. Mia was in her, Vince, and now Tk's, tent which I ordered her to bunk in. She was sleeping, not wanting to be part in our little activity. I know I'm going to have to face her soon, I just hope I won't do anything I would regret.

"Baby, you're burning your marshmallow," Dom said, kissing my shoulder.

I looked over and saw fire set on my marshmallow and leading up to my stick. I jumped off of Dom's lap and blew on it. After several blows, the fire burned out, leaving a completely black marshmallow that now looks like coal. I looked at Dom and pouted.

He laughed. "You crack me up, Hun," he chuckled, throwing me another marshmallow. I caught it and placed it on my stick. I sat back down on his lap and set it by the fire. "Thanks," I muttered.

"What's wrong, baby?" Dom whispered in my ear, squeezing my side gently.

"Nothing," I sighed, resting my head back on his shoulder.

"Letty, I've known you ever since you were 10. I can tell when shit's bothering you. Tell me, Lett," he replied, kissing my neck.

"It's just..Mia!" I growled, "she's just..she's..urking me!"

"By?"

"She's the one who wanted to go on this trip and now here we are and she's acting all distant and shit!"

"It's maybe-"

"It's not her fuckin' mood swings, Dom! If it was, it would be swingin' right on by but it's not swingin' now is it?!!" I yelled, a little louder than I meant to. They all looked at me and I gave them a sad smile. "Sorry," I whispered. They slowly nodded and turned back to what they were doing.

I turned back to Dom and rubbed his cheek and gave him a soft smile. "I'm sorry. Just frustrated, that's all."

"I wish I could help but we made that bet, remember?" he smirked, "unless you want to break it off.."

"Hmm. Nice try, papi. You still have at least a day or two left. Try to keep it in until then and help out some other way," I smiled.

"Fine then," he grinned, getting up and popping the marshmallow in his mouth, "Your loss,"

"Just for a day or two," I smirked, getting up and swallowing my mine. "And don't talk with your mouth full, babe," I said, giving him a light kiss on his lips, "we're gonna head in guys."

"Aight," they replied in unison.

I walked up over to Tk and leaned down, smirking. "Who knows? Maybe something will happen between you and Vince tonight," I whispered in her ear.

She playfully punched me in the arm. "I got my fingers crossed. Girl, you know I gots to represent!" she grinned.

"Night, Tk," I laughed.

"Night, Lett," she smiled, hitting her fist with mine.

I stepped inside the tent and shut the flat, zipping it up. I saw Dom in his boxers, doing push ups on the floor at least 10 every night, if not, more. "My muscle man," I whispered softly to myself.

Dom heard and looked up, smiling. "I did 20 tonight," he grinned, getting up and walking towards me.

"Yeah?" I smirked.

"Yeah," he replied, brushing a strand of hair off my face. "Beautiful," he whispered.

"Thank you," I said evenly, smiling. "C'mon. Lets go to sleep. I'm tired," I yawned, stretching out my arms.

Dom smiled and nodded. He walked over to our sleeping bag that was lying on the ground and unzipped it. He crawled in and laid on his side, waiting for me.

I went over and unzipped my duffle bag, taking out a white spaghetti strapped tank top. I reached over and grabbed Dom's bag and took out one of his boxers. I quickly changed with Dom watching me like the Cheshire cat. I rolled my eyes. My Dom. What a perv!

When I was done, I crawled in next to him and zipped up the sleeping bag. I lay on my side, facing Dom. He wrapped his arms around me and rubbed smooth circles on my back, kissing me forehead. I smiled greatfully at him and snuggled closer to him, kissing his chin.

"Sweet dreams, baby," he whispered, lovingly.

I smiled. "You too, D," I whispered back. In a few minutes, we fell blissfully asleep, comforted by each other's embrace.

Thank you sooooo much for the reviews!! I love them!! Keep 'em comin'!!!
