CHAPTER TWELVE: Let's Chat

"Letty, you aren't fine." I sat up and crossed my legs. "I know you better than that."

"Joe..." I whined.

"Letty..." He mocked. I crossed my arms and stuck out my bottom lip. "You act like such a baby sometimes, it's funny." I hit his shoulder and he smiled.

"What's your problem?"

"I want to make sure everything is okay with my little sister, you know?" I nodded and took a deep breath. He'd always wanted what was best for me. Always.

"Joe. You remember him, though right?" He looked around and his eyes stopped on me.

"Who?" He questioned. I smacked my lips and shook my head.

"Dom. Remember him?"

"Yeah. Why?" His face started to turn red and I grabbed his arm.

"He was the one you were outside talking with, you know that?" He stood up but I jumped to grab his arm, succeeding.

"Why didn't you say something. I've always wanted to kick that guys ass since he knocked you up and then cheated on you, with Kendra. I would never talk to him ever again if I were you."

"He apologized once for cheating, and I forgave him. I have more evidence now and he's apologized. I'm not sure I want to forgive him because I'm scared he'll cheat on me again."

"I can't believe that asshole didn't even want to see his son." My eyes wandered down to the floor and I sat down on the edge of my bed. "You did tell him he had a son, right?" I nodded. "Then what's the matter?"

"I told him he died, two days after he was born." Joe rolled his eyes and sat down next to me. "Part of me wanted to tell him because it was the right thing to do, but part of me didn't want to tell him because I didn't want him in his life. Is that messed up?"

"Yes, Letty, it's messed up. He needs his father in his life." I nodded and looked up at him. "He doesn't have his mother much, he needs you both." I sighed heavily. Joe put an arm around my shoulders and squeezed lightly. "Everything's going to get better."

"What should I do, Joe?" He looked at me and smiled.

"Tell him. Show him. Do something. I know your mad at him. Talk about it. You and your son both need him." He paused. "No matter how much of an asshole he is."

"Mari needs him too. Mari likes him." I chuckled. "You and Monica are so much alike it isn't even funny."

"Why's that?"

"Neither of you two like him. She called him a fuckhead and you called him an asshole. Which is funny, the part about you, you just told me to stay with him basically."

"You love him, no denying that." I chuckled and nodded.

"I do love him. Since the day I met him, till the day I die." He chuckled and smiled. I smiled back and took a deep breath. "How long do you think I should wait before I talk to him again?" He shrugged but then there was a knock on the door.

"Now seems like a good time." I nodded and we both stood up. Joe reached the door first and opened it. Dom was standing there, his eyes were red. Joe pushed passed him out of the door. Dom stood there and looked at me.

"Can we please talk?" He asked quietly. Was he crying? I nodded and moved to the side for him to enter the room. He walked in and started looking around. I closed the door and locked it. I walked over and sat on the edge of my bed. Dom looked at me and smiled just a little. He pulled up a chair and sat in it, right in front of me.

"Dom..." I started.

"No, you need to let me try and explain." I nodded and closed my mouth. "It was a mistake. I didn't mean for any of that to happen. We just started talking one night, but it wasn't meant to lead to that. We just talked about her boyfriend and stuff. The next day she said she was in love with me. I didn't understand that. Everything that happened was her idea. I just went with it." I looked at my feet and he looked down. "Letty, baby, I'm so sorry."

"Was it before or after... you know." I asked looking up. He swallowed hard and nodded a little. I looked down and shook my head.

"After." I felt a tear drop and I shook my head more. "Let."

"No." I stood up and started to pace the room in front of the door. He turned in his chair and looked at me. "You slept with Kendra. My sister!" I shouted at him.

"Go on, Let. You have every right to yell at me."

"Your damn right, Dom. I have every fucking right to yell at you. You wanna know why?" I asked, half crying and half screaming out of anger.

"Why?" He asked quietly.

"Because you had a kid with my fucking sister." I screamed. He stood up and raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He asked.
