Chapter Eight
Dominic was restless that night. He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. All he could do was think of Kesia.
When he finally decided to get up and do something. He got up crept up the stairs and into his bedroom, where Letti was sleeping beautifully. Dominic quietly walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of jeans and a black beater. He had no chose but to go out and search for his baby sister. He quietly dressed and put on his Lugz without waking Letty.
Just as he was about to leave, when something stopped him.
"Dominic Jarrett Toretto, stop right There."
Dominic froze and slowly turned around to find Letti still lying down, but here hand was pointing up at him.
Letti sat up and stared at Dominic with her dark brown, almost black, eyes.
"And WHERE do you think going?" she asked.
"Uh.to get milk," he replied.
"Yeah, right. Dom.' Letti said her eyes turning sad. 'Dom, don't lie. I know you're going to find Kesia, but like I said before she'll come home. And if you go you ain't leaving without me," she said jumping out of the bed and walking towards the dresser.
"Letti, no it's best if I go by myself," he said softly.
Letti looked up at him. Dominic could see the fear in her eyes, he could also see that she was scared; Dominic knew Letti was good at not showing her emotions and he knew it would one day over come her and she'd pop like a balloon.
Letti looked away. She knew Dominic could see the fear in her eyes, as he could tell her every emotion just by looking at her.
"Dom, if you go, I go. If I stay you stay,' she said, turning herself to Dominic. 'Dominic, I said it before, Kesia will come home. She has no where else to go.' Letti raised her hand to his cheek. 'Mia called everywhere she could think of and we practically went all over San Francisco."
Dominic and Letti stood there searching each other's eyes for a minute, before Letti spoke again.
"Dominic, if you are getting the idea that Kesia might have runaway, she would never. Not unless she had a damn good reason to,' she said softly. 'I've known Kesia since she was born and have been here for her for seventeen years of her life. Of course, I'm scared too, because Kesia is like a daughter to me and I would do anything for that girl, just like I'd do anything for you."
What Letti said caught Dominic by surprise.
He took both of Letti's hands in his and leaned down and kissed her. When he broke away, Letti's stood there for a second with her eyes closed.
Dominic sighed.
"Letti, you've won me over. I'll stay and wait until morning."
A half smiled appeared upon Letti's face.
Dominic let go of Letti's hands and began to undress, as Letti made her way back to bed.
In his underwear, Dominic walked over to the bed and crawled in beside Letti.
When Dom was close to her, Letty turned over and moved herself closer to Dominic.
They looked at each other.
"Just hold me,' Letti whispered. 'and let us fall asleep together."
With one last quick kiss, Letty lowered her head down and nuzzled her head into Dominic's chest.
With a quick sigh, Dominic closed his eyes and fell asleep to the feeling of Letti's soft, warm breath against his chest.
