CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Plotting the Revenge
Dom and I have been back to his apartment for an hour. We were sitting on the couch just talking and laughing about random things. We listened to his roommate give the girl he was with a great time. We both laughed about it, wondering if we were ever heard when we messed around. It had been quiet in his roommate's room for a few minutes so we started talking about what happened at the diner.
"How did your sister not recognize me? How did I not recognize her?" I asked him, not knowing if he would know if something strange went one.
"She did." I cocked my head to the side and gave him a funny look. He shrugged and looked at me. "She said you were Kendra." I raised an eyebrow and looked at him harder.
"How the hell did she say I was Kendra?"
"She said you looked a lot like her."
"How does she know who Kendra is?"
"She's talking to the real Letty and she told her you were Kendra. I don't know."
"Do you think I'm Kendra?" He shook his head and kissed my forehead. I looked at his hands, which were resting on my stomach. He moved them slowly and I stood up. "I'll be back. I'm gonna go talk to Mia." He stood up and grabbed my waist.
"I don't think that's a very good idea." I shrugged and he let me go.
"I need to." He nodded and looked down. "I'll be back in a few." He nodded again and I walked to the door. I opened it, stepped out, and closed it. I walked as fast as I could to the diner.
The sign on the door had already been flipped to 'CLOSED'. I didn't care. I walked up to the door and pushed on it, it opened. I stepped in and it closed behind me. Mia was sitting behind the counter with the guy who was our waiter.
"Come back for your food?" She asked pointing to the table where the burgers were still sitting. "We were gonna wait ten more minutes."
"No. I came to talk to you." I said pointing to her. She looked at the guy and then at me. He nodded and stood slowly, watching me walk toward the counter. He walked into the kitchen and I sat down on a stool in front of Mia.
"Can I help you?" She asked wiping the counter with her hand.
"Why'd you tell Dom I was Kendra?" I asked. She chuckled.
"You aren't Letty." She stated.
"Yes I am."
"Prove it."
"How did you figure I was Kendra?"
"Because I'm talking to the real Letty at the street races. She said you were Kendra and you were trying to steal Dom from her."
"How do you want me to prove I'm Letty? I'll do it because I am Letty."
"Okay. How many kids does Dom have?"
"Are you serious? How would I know that? I haven't talked to him in almost five years?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Five years? I thought it was almost nine?"
"We met back at a party my friend threw. We hooked up and I left, told him if he was ever ready to quit his cheating days then to come find me."
"You are Letty."
"I told you!" I said loudly to her. The guy came out of the kitchen and was staring at me. "I can't believe you though I was Kendra and she was me. Some best friend you are."
"Sorry, girl. I believed anything at the time. It's been eight years, not nine." I shrugged and she chuckled a little. "If there's anything I can do to show how sorry I am, I'll so do it." I nodded and thought seriously about that. I looked up at her and grinned.
"I have an idea." I said. She looked at me and smiled a bit. "Help me get back at my sister." She thought about it and shrugged. I nodded and looked into her eyes. "Will you?"
"Sure. No problem." I smiled.
"Can I help?" The guy said from the door to the kitchen. I looked at him and nodded.
"Sure." I said.
"Sweet." I chuckled as he walked over and sat next to Mia. "I'm Leon." I smiled and looked back and forth between the two.
"You two make a cute couple." I noted. They smiled and looked at each other. They leaned in and kissed each other then Mia looked back at me with a bright smile. I nodded a little and looked at Leon. "Aww." Leon blushed and I smiled at him.
"So, what's your idea for getting back at her?" Leon asked. I shrugged and he shook his head. "How can you not know? She's your little sister, isn't she?" I nodded.
"Wait. You two are twins. Is that why Mia thought she was you and you were her?" I shrugged. "Are you twins?" I looked and nodded.
"Are you aware you talk a lot?" I questioned him. He opened his mouth but it closed in a second. "Do you know if she's going to the race tonight?"
"Most likely. She goes and flirts with Dom, whenever he's there." Mia said. I nodded and looked around her. She turned and looked. She faced me again and looked at me funny.
"There's a mirror. I thought I saw somebody behind me." I looked down at the counter then back up. I saw another flash in the mirror. Was I seeing things? I didn't know. I knew if I asked Mia or Leon, they would think I was crazy. "So, Mia, what's with the changes?"
"What?" She asked.
"The hair, your whole style I guess." She shrugged.
"Change. You don't like it?" She asked patting down her hair. I shook my head and she frowned. Leon looked at her and she sighed. "Nobody does. It's too short. It's not me. And I'm blonde!" Her hair was really short. I had to agree. It didn't even go to her shoulders. I nodded.
"I don't like you as a blonde. The hair would probably look better if it were brown." She nodded and decided it was better to take the advice than to have everybody hate it.
"Dom hates it. He thinks its because I'm trying to impress people. Why would I be trying to impress people when I have Leon?"
"So you two are like a couple or something?" I asked. They both nodded and smiled. "You two make a cute couple."
"You said that."
"Letty…" Leon said. I looked over at him. "I just realized it was you." Mia and I both laughed and he blushed. "Well, it's not like you said when you'd be back." I laughed harder and I felt a hand suddenly go over my mouth. I gasped because it was sudden and surprised me. The hand wasn't that big. I tried to turn my head, but the person wouldn't let me. I knew there was somebody behind me the whole time, why did it shock me? Mia and Leon just sat there, watching. I looked in the mirror. It was a guy. Who the hell?
Hah. Ok… this is a serious author note. I don't know if any of you have my story on Author Alert. Well, this afternoon you might have had your inbox flooded with 'Story Alert' messages about my story. It's not my fault, if that happened. Today somebody got into my account and deleted all but the first chapter of my story. I'm not sure who it was or anything… yet. I'm pretty sure everything's okay now… I've changed my password and everything. No more worries. The story is back up and everything. I just can't believe somebody would do that to me. Shame them.
