"What?" He asked innocently, trying to hide his satisfaction of making her breathless. "You are dead after I kill him!" She said, though no yelling in her voice or her tone.
"Can't you just let him live, just this once?" Roman asked, putting his arms around Kendall, ignoring her resistance.
"No, I can't." Kendall looked into Roman's dark chocolate eyes, her heart and body heating up and forgetting she was mud and rain soaked.
"Yes, you can. Pretty please?" Roman asked, swinging her slightly from side to side, his arms holding her out just a bit.
"Rome…" She started, looking away from his arms.
"Tell me you don't love me and I'll let you go kill him." Roman promised, anxious for his own self to hear her reply. She hesitated and then gave an annoyed sigh. Her face expression softened and she met his eyes, smiling. "You are not right." She playfully slapped him.
"Not right, huh?" Roman pulled her close and kissed the top of her sweet smelling drenched hair. "I can live with 'not right'." He murmured, holding her close.
"Can I go change now?" She asked after her held her close for almost ten minutes. She was enjoying his strong arms around her so much that she had lost track of time and what had been going on.
"Only if you don't kill my homeboy." Roman held up her chin, gazing into her eyes with a slight smile.
"IS that the only reason you want to be holding me?" Kendall attempted to pull our of his arms, again, Roman restraining her.
"No, you are just damned paranoid." Roman scoffed, getting an irritated, pouty look from Kendall. "I want to be with you but I want him to at least live. Let Dom kill him. You can't go away to prison." Roman reasoned, picking her up and carrying her up the stars. He put her down in front of her door to her room and nodded for her to go in. She went in, not saying a word. "Yo, can I come watch?" he added just before she shut the door.
"Nope," She replied, shutting the door with a smart assed smirk.
"She gone?" Brian rounded the corner and asked in a whisper.
"Why do I always gotta save yo ass, man?" Roman asked, getting a punch from Brian.
"You know you wanted to hook it up with her, so shut that shit up." Brain whispered in a furious fashion, not letting Roman make him feel bad.
"yeah and your point"?" Roman asked, shrugging. "Just cause you got to get to her and ask her first." Roman laughed, clapping his hands at his humor.
"Oh and like I got to Tonya first, huh:" Brian shot back.
"Always gotta bring that hoe up, don't you?" Roman asked, pretending to be annoyed.
"you know it's true." Brian accused, though laughing.
"Both you shut up about that hoe, would you?" Kendall asked, her head wrapped in a towel from a quick washing of it. "Should I run to give you the thrill of the chase?" Brian asked, his cool blue eyes holding her gaze.
"I don't know. I want the truth, then I'll let you know my decision." Kendall said, her hatred gone.
"I didn't have anything to do with it. SWEAR on anything." Brian promised, holding his hand over his heart. "I had to make you forget your fear in the creek, Kendall. It was the only thing I knew that would get your adrenaline going." Brian said honestly. She stared at him for a minute, then nodded. HE breathed a sigh of relief.
"Truce, guys?" Roman asked, his arm going around Kendall's waist.
"I guess." Kendall finally replied when Brian looked at her, nodding that he was going to let her reply first.
"Yeah, Truce, man." Brian held out his hand for her to shake. She took it, though hesitantly, after Roman grabbed it and raised it towards Brian.

"You almost look nervous." Mia giggled, getting out of the car. She found it cute that Dominic was straightening his work shirt that had the DT logo on it and running a hand over his bald head.
"Be quiet. You're still in trouble with me." He warned, pointing at his baby sister in his typical Dominic style.
"Yeah, yeah." Mia shook out her long black hair, her eyes glistening from happy mischief. The moment was finally here and she couldn't wait for Dominic to see Letty. It was going to be the best of the reunions yet.
"No one's here." Dominic frowned, himself anxious and saying this after only a two second wait. Mia slapped him, getting a sigh of exasperation from her brother.
"Come in." A woman opened the door, ushering them in quickly.
"I'm um here for Letty." Dominic said, his voice gruff with a hint of unsureness and nervousness.
"Right this way." The woman nodded, not waiting for them to follow but taking off. Dominic was right on her heels, his anxiety heightening.
"Dom?" Letty asked, sitting on the loft bed that she had been using for what seemed like forever. Her voice was softer than Mia had ever heard and Mia saw the tears in Letty's eyes.
"Letty girl." Dominic looked stunned, as though he was taken aback by her presence and beauty.
"I missed you!" Letty got up, revealing her stomach. Dominic looked her up and down, then stopped at the little protruding pouch.
"You're…." he stopped, his tongue not letting him talk.
"IS that a bad thing?" Letty whispered, her eyes searching his. The whisper and tears she had made him tear up and he shook his head no, then he wrapped her up in his strong arms.
"I'm gonna be a dad?" he asked, whispering in her ear, moving her dark black hair away from the ear he was so tenderly talking to in his low seductive voice.
"Yeah, can you handle that?" Letty asked, looking up at him with her typical half smile, one eye open and the other closed.
"I think I can. There's only one problem." Dominic pulled back, making her look unsure for the first time Mia can ever remember when it came to dealing with her brother.
"What?" She asked, putting a strand of hair behind her ear in uncertainty.
"It's something I have to confess." Dominic coughed uncomfortably. He looked down, as though in shame.
"Not now…" Letty sighed, figuring he wanted to come clean.
"You don't want this ring?" Dominic asked, puling a black box out of his pocket, making Mia's mouth drop open in shock. "Letty, will you marry me?" He asked, kneeling on one knee and grinning.
"Dom…" She gasped, shocked at what he opened in front of her. Mia grabbed the doorframe for support and smiled happily as Kendall, Roman, and Brian walked in quietly.
"Is that a yes or no?" He asked, kissing Letty's hand and smiling at the tears falling down her cheeks and smiling even bigger when she pulled her typical 'I'm too cool to cry' and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"I can't believe you are asking me…" She trailed off.
"I am asking you to be my queen. My one and only queen." Dominic looked up into her eyes, making her knees go weak. She knelt down beside him and kissed him.
"Yes, I want to be your queen." She kissed him, wrapping her arms around him with so much force she knocked him down, making the whole crew laugh.
"You have always been my queen. It's just going to be official now." he murmured in her ear.
"Well, you betta change your ways or I'll run off and never come back." Letty looked up to reveal an impish smile, making him turn serious.
"The past is the past. I have a second chance and I won't let you down or hurt you again, Baby." he lifted her chin up and looked her in the eyes.
