CHAPTER 14- House Party

Tej had taken us to the houses we were stopping in. Stacey had gone in to her room and began to unpack. I was downstairs with Junior, and the guys watching Knight Rider. I wanted to go and talk to Stacey but every time I moved to get up Junior would tell me to watch the TV.

"You told her then?" Letty asked

"Yeah" I sighed

"How'd she take it?" Leon asked

"Said I have an opportunity to do all the things I missed with this guy" I said tickling him. He giggled and wriggled out of my grasp then carried on watching TV.

Stacey skipped down the stairs a couple of minutes after the third episode of Knight Rider had finished carrying some of Junior's dirty clothes.

"You guys need to get ready, the race will start soon" she told us walking through to the kitchen.

"You gonna race?" Vince asked her as she walked back in to the living room.

"No I got a kid to look after" she said.

"Me and Brian will look after him tonight" Mia told her "we don't wanna go anyway"

"if you don't mind" Stacey said

"No of course not"

I walked out of my room in our new home and bumped in to Stacey. "Sorry" I said trying to walk past her to get to the bathroom. We did a little dance both moving the same way at the same time. "Sorry" I said again as I passed her.

"Dom" she called

"Yeah" I replied turning around in the door way to the bath room.

"I'm sorry" she began "for having ago earlier, I'm not pissed at you, I'm pissed with me, I've screwed things up with Mark, I've really hurt him and I hate myself for it"

"You should tell him that then" I told her. She clearly cared about the guy. I knew she wasn't in love with him. She told me in the hospital, said she loved him but could never be IN love with him. She deserved to be happy and Mark made her happy well at least he did till I came along. Now Letty was pregnant I knew there was no chance of me and Stacey being together and if she wasn't with me then I'd want her to be happy even if it meant being with Mark.

"And I'm sorry for what I said about Mark being more of a father than you. You've been great the past few weeks. Your everything to him he keeps asking for you and I'm glad, it's always something I've wanted for him, to have a father"

"And that's all I wanna be" I told her. She smiled then walked downstairs.

California racing was almost the same as in L.A except it was more of a track then it was a quarter mile race and there were only two car, I won my race against Roman Pearce, Vince won his against some Spanish guy, and Leon won his against one of Tej's mechanics.

After the races we all went back to Tej's house for a party. I had been looking every where for Stacey for nearly an hour and I couldn't find her anywhere. And I hadn't seen Roman either which was really pissing me off. Vince and Leon were talking to some girls, Letty was sat on a couch with some guy which didn't worry me I warned her at the beginning of the night that if she fucks anyone she's gonna be having an abortion! I walked out the front of the house there were a few people on the porch drinking. I walked down the stairs and around the side of the house. I saw the back of Stacey and Roman they were sitting on his car with a beer each.

"So you worked it out with him then?" Roman asked her

"Fuck no, nothings worked out, if anything it's worse then it was before he came back" she explained to him before taking a swig of her Corona. "I was fooling myself to think he'd actually want me and Junior"

"He's stupid if he doesn't want you both" he told her.

"I mean come on the rush of racing or a 9-5 and a kid?" she asked

"You made the right choice having Junior; I told you that the whole time you were pregnant with him and I still mean it now"

He was with her when she was pregnant? He better mean just as friends, if he had his dick in her while she was pregnant with my kid I'd fucking kill them both.

"I still cant believe you came to live with me when I was pregnant you know" she said pushing her shoulder against his.

"Someone had to look after you" Roman said "and I wanted to make up for making you have an abortion" he said softly.

"Rome don't. We were 14 it was the right thing to do" she said shaking her head.

"I know but still it hurt and it tore us apart"

"no me moving away tore us apart"

"Well you're here now" he said leaning in to his her. He kissed her and she kissed him back. She had made her choice. Fuck her, fuck this.
