CHAPTER NINETEEN: Revenge Put on Hold

The guy behind me wasn't that large, but he was muscular. He pushed me forward just enough so I could look in the mirror behind Mia. I could see perfectly who it was. I pushed back against him and he stumbled back into a table. I turned quickly in the stool I was sitting in and glared at him.

"Who the hell do you think you are coming in here and putting your filthy hands on me?" I asked. "You don't know me!" I was now screaming at him. He was leaning against the table he stumbled into. Leon appeared at my side and put a hand on my shoulder. I jumped a bit and he apologized.

"Sorry." I nodded. "You okay, Let?" I nodded again and he looked at the guy. "Who are you?" The guy, I knew his name, I knew a lot about him, stood up and looked at Leon.

"Mike. I'm Dom's roommate. He wanted me to come tell Letty it was getting late and she should get back soon." He said, he sounded scared of Leon. Like Leon would kick his ass if he said any other reason beside that.

"I highly doubt Dom said that." I said smartly. He rolled his eyes.

"He did." Dom suddenly appeared in the doorway. I looked over at him and smiled a little. I walked over and put an arm around his waist. He kissed the top of my head and I smiled. "Hey Dom."

"Sup Mike." Dom said nodding his head a little to him. I rolled my eyes and we started toward the counter. "Do you still not want me in here?" He asked opening his arms toward Mia. She shook her head and he smiled. "Good. Because then I would have walked all the way here for nothing." I hit his chest playfully and he smiled. "But then I'd walk a beautiful lady back home, if she allowed."

"Back to my house? Why? I thought we could do something tonight."

"No, because tomorrow I'm going to see my son." Mia looked at him and smiled.

"You have a son?"

"Letty's son. We have him and a beautiful daughter together." I blushed and Mia smiled at me. She walked around the counter and to us. She put an arm around either of us and squeezed tightly.

"I'm an aunt!" She said happily. I smiled and nodded my head. She stepped back. "Anymore?" She asked. I looked down at my stomach and then at Dom.

"Never know." He said. I smiled and jumped up and kissed him.

"What are their names?" She asked. I smiled and looked at Dom.

"DJ and Mari."

"Are those their real names?" Leon asked. "Does DJ have a name more like Dominic and Mari have a name more like I don't know what Mari's short for."

"Yes. DJ's name is Dominic. Mari's name is Mari." He nodded and smiled.

"Come on, Letty. We gotta get you home." He said slipping an arm around my waist. He started to lead me toward the door and I shrugged at Mia.

"Hang on. I need to talk to Mia and Leon real fast."

"Okay. I'll wait for you outside." He let go of my waist and walked out the door. Mike followed him and I walked to Mia and Leon.

"When did you want to do that?" Mia asked.

"Well, we can't do it tonight. Tomorrow's an important day. When's the next race?"

"Saturday night." I nodded and smiled.

"We'll do it then." He hadn't even discussed what we were doing. "Well, I'll cover Saturday and we'll talk about it." Mia smiled and Leon nodded.

"Bye Letty." They both said. I smiled and waved, walking to the door. I stepped outside and pulled the door closed behind me. I looked around for Dom but he wasn't anywhere to be found.

"Dom?" I called out. No answer. I sighed and started for home. It was dark but I could handle myself if anything were to happen. I knew these weren't the best streets but I was okay. I reached Dom's apartment, from outside there were no lights on so I continued to my house. The kids were already asleep and Joe was lying on the couch, asleep. It was best not to make any noise so nobody asked questions. I sighed and walked to my room. I closed the door and flopped down on my bed. Where did he go? Did he have second thoughts about going to see his son? Did he have second thoughts about getting married?

Friday Morning – the next morning

I was up early, before anybody else in the house. I got up and started to make breakfast. Bacon, eggs, pancakes, and toast. I was almost done and ready to call for everybody to wake up when Mari and James walked into the room.

"Hey you two." I said. They smiled at me. "Why don't you go wake up your uncle Joe?" I asked. "Tell him I made breakfast and there's enough for him." They nodded and went back into the other room. I set the plates around the table and they walked back in the kitchen.

"He left. He had to go home." They said. I nodded and smiled.

"Breakfast is ready." I said pointing to the table. They walked over and sat in the chairs behind the plates. "Want some juice?"

"Yes please." They said together. They didn't start eating yet. I walked to the fridge and pulled out the orange juice container. I poured three cups and walked to the table. I set a cup down in front of the kids and then one down in front of the last plate, which was mine. I sat down and looked at the food. I picked up a piece of toast and started to eat it.

"You guys can eat." I said. They looked at each other and then started to eat their eggs. "Too much food?" I asked.

"No." Mari ate a piece of toast quickly. I shook my head and laughed a little. "Mommy?" Mari asked. I looked at her and smiled. "Where's daddy?" I looked at the clock. We weren't leaving soon but I figured he'd be there early.

"He should be here soon, baby." She smiled and nodded.

"Is he going to see bubby?" She asked.

"He said he was. He's probably just running late." She nodded and smiled.

It didn't take us long to finish breakfast. We had a little over two hours before we had to leave. So I sent them into the other room to watch cartoons while I washed the dishes.

I found this a good place to stop. The next chapter is where you're going to find out about DJ. Yay. I'm anticipating this one. It's going to take some work. I know that much. Decided to keep Mari's name to Mari. Just because I'm used to it and I don't see where I would use it anywhere in this story. Except for if it appears in the paper, which I don't think I will be that mean That just gave me a good idea for another story. I'll do it! But not till I'm finished with this one if I ever finish it. LoL
