Deceived by Appearance: Chapter 16: Rated R: Language: Letty's POV:
"I still don't know why we're going anyway," I muttered, looking out the window of my car. We were going to Dom's barbeque. Tk said that she would drive since I'm still distressed about what happened. I told her I didn't want to go anymore but she literally dragged me to the car, not arguing.
"We're going to get you and Dom back together," she said, keeping her eyes on the road.
"I don't want him and he made it perfectly clear he doesn't want me either," I sighed.
"What do you mean he doesn't want you? He loves you. He can't just stop loving you just like that!" Tk replied, snapping her fingers.
"Yeah. And he just said he loves me, just like that," I mimicked.
"Ok Letty, it's either ya want him or you don't! It's your choice! If ya want him then we'll go to that BBQ but if you don't then stop bitching about it! Get on with your life!" Tk growled.
"Someone's on PMS," I muttered.
"Sorry," she sighed, "it's just.I know you're lying when you say you don't want him. Stop lying, Lett. Stop lying to yourself and me. It ain't gonna help any."
"I know," I whispered, ".I'm just scared."
"Of what? Of losing Dom?"
I slowly nodded.
"That's why we're going to that BBQ, Lett! We're gonna get you and Dom together fast! Because I can't stand you bitching anymore!" she grinned.
I laughed and punched her lightly on the arm. "Hey!" she smiled, "Don't mess with me when I'm driving!"
"I don't even know why I let you drive! My poor baby is under control by someone who can't even drive her way out of a tunnel!" I laughed.
"IT WAS DARK!!!!" she growled, chuckling a little. I rolled my eyes and shook my head laughing. Yep. There's no one like my Tk.
We parked by the sidewalk in front of his house. Tk got out and shut the door. She walked up the steps and stopped, turning herself so she was glaring at the car. She walked back and went around to the passenger side door, opening it. She stuck her hand out and pulled me out, looking at me with one of her "looks". "Don't make me kick your ass all the way back to China," she snickered.
"Great! Then I can visit my aunt," I smirked.
"Just walk!" she chuckled, pushing me a little.
I huffed and slowly walked up to the door with Tk right beside me. She looked at me for a minute and raised her eyebrows. I shook my head and looked away. She gave a frustrated sigh. "Fine! I'll do it!" she growled, knocking on the door.
A couple seconds later, Mia answered the door with a smile on her face. "Hey Letty!" she said cheerfully.
I smiled. "Hey Mia."
"Who's this?" she asked, looking at Tk.
"This is my friend, Tekara. Everyone calls her Tk, though."
"Nice to meet you," Mia smiled.
"You too," Tk smiled back.
She stepped back and we went inside. We stepped into the living room and saw two guys sitting on the floor, playing Grand Turismo on the Playstation, and another guy sitting on the couch, making fun of their lack of playing the game.
"The guy with the black beanie on that's playing the game is Jesse, the guy beside him is Leon, and the guy criticizing them is Vince," Mia said, pointing to each of them, "Guys! This is Letty and Tk."
They looked up at us and grinned. I looked over and looked at Vince. He was staring at Tk more than me with hungry eyes. I turned my gaze to Tk and saw that she too was staring at Vince more than the other guys. I kept turning my gaze to both of them and shook my head, sighing.
Vince got up and walked over to Tk, never taking his eyes off her. "Hey," he whispered, seductively as he held out his hand for her to shake.
"Hey," she whispered back evenly, happily shaking his hand. They continued shaking hands for a minute, never taking their eyes off one another.
After a couple more seconds, I cleared my throat. Vince looked at me and arched an eyebrow. "Yeah?"
I raised my eyebrows then glared at him. "Never mind," I muttered.
He just shrugged and smiled at Tk. I shook my head and turned away. "Rude Bastard," I growled under my breath. Tk and Vince looked at me and I just smiled sweetly at them. Suddenly, the front door slam shut and we turned to see who it was. Dom walked up to the entrance of the living room, with his bloodshot eyes staring directly at me.
