Deceived by Appearance: Chapter 19: Rated R: Language: Letty's POV:

"What?" I choked.

"I want to be part of you," he answered, "and if that means being part of your family.then.I will."

"Dom, you.are you serious?" I raised my eyebrows unbelievingly.

He nodded. "I love you. And if being with you means that I have to be part of your family then I'll do it. But I can't promise you that I can tolerate Johnny 24/7."

I chuckled at that part. I placed my other hand on top of his and smiled. "You don't have to. I don't need him. He's not my brother. He's not my family. He never was from the start. You, Dominic, are my family. You, Mia, and.Tk."

Dom shivered at that name. I laughed. "You're scared of her, aren't you?"

"NO!" he replied, a little too quickly.

I looked at him and smirked. He stared back at me for a minute and sighed. "It's just.I don't know why she hates me so much."

"She doesn't hate you," I shook my head, "She just doesn't like you."

"Hmmm," he mumbled.

"Dom, don't mind her alright! The girl just has problems but I love her! Besides.she's been by my side ever since I was five. She gets a little too overprotective of her `little sister`."

"I thought you two were the same age?"

"She's older than me by two months."

"Oh."

"If you're scared of Tk, then you really shouldn't mess with Mish or Kumary.or maybe even Andrea," I smirked, "Whatever ass kicking they do is far worst than Tk and I combined! Man, I love them!"

".Who?" he squinted his eyes.

"They're my family too so get used to it! You're gonna have a lot girls to call `family`, Toretto."

"As long as you're one of them, I don't mind," he smiled, kissing my hand.

"So.is that what you wanted to tell me?" I asked, raising both my eyebrows.

"Yeah, I think that's about it. But now give me your answer.are you willing to consider taking me back or.not?" he replied, hope in his eyes.

"Let me think."

"LETTY!"

"I'm kidding baby! Chill!" I laughed heartily, "I will. But just as long as you don't.do shit like that anymore."

He shook his head. "I won't."

I smiled and laid my hand on his cheek, caressing it gently with my thumb. He placed his hand on top of it and kissed my palm. "So.is there anymore secrets you need to tell me?"

"Well.did you know that I love you?"

"Yeah."

"Well then secret's out!" I grinned, grabbing the back of his head and and kissing him hard on the lips. He smiled and kissed me back lovingly.
