Chapter 32-Gone Clubbin'

One week later...

No POV

A week had passed since Dom and Letty's fight. Dom moped around the house all week; depressed. He felt horrible because he made the only person who gave a damn about Dominic the person go away. By now, he knew where Letty was staying and visited her everyday, begging her to come home. She declined each time. She didn't want to go back home until Dominic apologised for his behavior. But she knew he was too stubborn to apologise. But she wanted him to apologise for hurting her. Over all those years, continuously hurting her. Everyone came to visit her, trying their luck at getting her to return to the fort. She kept explaining to them over and over; "I'm not ready to be back under a roof with him yet". Maria had getting to know the whole team very well, especially Vince. He was her favorite. He loved her cooking. He was always respectful to her and did almost anything she asked.But him and Sasha agreed not to tell her about them until she turned eighteen, fearing her father would find out and kill Vince. Maria never got the chance to meet Dominic, for he always left before she got home from work. But her attitude towards Letty grew weirder. She avoided Letty like the plague even under her own roof.

"Mrs. Maria, you need anything before I leave?" Vince called back into the house from the doorway. She called him over to help her fix the minivan.

"No Dumplin' you can go now. Thanks for the help." She said, referring to the nickname she'd given him.

"Call me if it messes up again. Bye." He closed the door behind him and jogged down to the Maxima. Once back on his way home, he received a call on his cell.

"What is it?" He growled into the phone. He hated talking on the phone while driving.

"Where's Letty? She's not answering my calls." Dominic asked.

"I dunno. I'm on my way home but none of the girls were there. They went clubbin'. I told them I'd meet them there later if you wanna ride me with that's cool." Vince replied, stopping at a stoplight.

"Ok. I'ma take a shower and get ready and I should be ready by then." Dominic responded, sighing loudly.

"Ok. Gotta go brotha, I'm almost home." Vince replied, turning into their neighborhood

Letty, Diana, Mia, and Sasha all decided to go to The Jumpoff, a club owned by one of the teams close friends, Shane. Lily and Leon decided to fulfill one of their 'lust cravings' and stay in. Meanwhile, the ladies slid down the long line of people and walked up to the bouncer.

"Yo Bounty whats up man?" Letty greeted the bouncer, as he pulled up the red rope for them to enter the club.

"Hey Let. Hey Mia." He smiled, letting the girls threw.

The club's scenary was unexplainable. The club was dark with green and blue neon lights glowing in different corners of the room. People were all over the place, drinking and grinding. The bar was packed with drunken partiers and beer bottles. While examining the room, the girls slowly made their way over to the bar.

"Yo Jerry. Can me and my girls get some drinks?" Mia asked the bartender, a dark man with cornrows.

"Ya friends a lil young ain't they?" He asked, raising a skeptical eyebrow at Di and Sasha.

"Cut us some slack tonight J. It's girls night out." She convinced him. He gave in and took their orders. Mia, Sasha, and Di ordered a rum and coke while Letty stuck to her roots, ordering a Corona.

Partiers cheered loudly as 'Promiscuous Girl" by Nelly Furtado blared through the club speakers. The ladies finished their drinks and followed everyone to the dance floor. They danced together, moving their bodies rhythmically.

Letty's POV

As me and the girls danced in the middle of the crowd, I could sense the vibe changing. Like it was intensifying. I shook it off and continued to groove when I felt someone slip something into my back pocket. Before I came face to face with the mystery person, they disappeared into the crowd.

"I'ma go to the bathroom." I yelled to Mia, who was getting into the club music. I entered one of the stalls in the womens bathroom and locked the door. I took a seat and pulled out the paper in my pocket. When I unfolded it, I couldn't believe what it was.

Leticia Isabella Rodriguez,

I know I don't express my love to you much. Now I'm paying for it. But I wanna show you how much you mean to me. Sometimes I just get so wrapped up in racing and everything else to notice what I have in front of me; you. I love you with all my heart. You mean the world to me. When I met you back in the day, I always knew I'd love you for the rest of my life. But I didn't want to be with you then because I knew I'd do something stupid to mess it up. Kinda like now. Letty your are the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love every moment I spend with you. I know I might seem ungrateful at times, and I'm sorry. I'd trust you with my life before anyone else. You've been with me for so long and given me all of you, and I've given you nothing in return. You've been there for me through so much; when my Papi died, when I went to Lompoc. You were still there loving me. I know I don't apologise much, so here it is. I'm so sorry Let. I sincerely apologise for ever hurting you. I never meant to hurt you. It's just when I saw you with that guy, it broke my heart. I knew it was harmless, but like you said, it hurt to know that he could have taken my place because I know you deserve so much more then me. But the thing I never admitted is, I can't live without you. This past week has been hell. I hate to wake up in the morning, and you not be there. I hate walking into the garage and not being able to see the most beautiful woman in the world in greasy coveralls. I hate not being with you Let. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you. No if, ands, or buts about it. I want you ... forever. Please come home.

I Love You.

p.s. If you forgive me, meet me at the bar.

Love,

Dom

By the end of the note, I was balling my eyes out in the bathroom stall. I didn't know what to say. Or even what to think. I sat there for another ten minutes crying until I heard the bathroom door open. Wiping the tears away, I unlocked the stall and walked over to the sink. Get it together Let, go get your man back. I put a little water on my face to clear the dark red shade my face turned from crying. Exiting the restroom, I folded the note back up and put it back in my pocket. I looked over at the bar and sure enough, there was Dom. He was doing something I've never seen him do before; he pushed a bimbo away. I walked up behind him as he ordered another drink.

"Can I get another Corona? Give me the bottle. You get better taste that way." He explained to Jerry.

"You really mean that?" I asked him, folding my arms across my chest.

"Yeah. If you pour it in a glass with ice, it's a lot less pleasing." He replied, turning to face me.

"I meant when you said you thought Victor could replace you ... did you really feel that way?" I re-asked him. He's such a bonehead at times.

"Yes." He simply replied, taking a swig of his Corona.

"Dom, no one could ever replace you. I love you more then anything." I assured him, standing between his legs, wrapping my arms around his large neck.

"Promise?" He had the cutest grin on his face. Cocky bastard.

"Yes I promise. Now kiss me asshole" I demanded, pulling his lips onto mind for a kiss I've been waiting for my whole life. "Let's dance." I pulled him out of the chair, Corona in hand, and onto the dance floor. I noticed that Dom hadn't come alone. All the boys where dancing with their girls. It was good to see everyone out, having a good time instead of being stuck under a car all day. Don't get me wrong, as much as I loved that, doing something that didn't involve drowning in oil felt good every once-in-a-while.

I loved the way me and Dom danced together. Dancing to 'Yo' by Chris Brown, we just swayed side to side, like we were one person. The more we got into the music, the tighter his grip around my waist became. We all continued dancing until about 2:35, when we decided to head back home. I was going home.

Whew, that was probably my hardest, but favorite chapter thus far. I wrote the
whole love note thing so if it's cheesy, please tell me LOL. Well read&review )

Chapter 33 will be up tomorrow, right now I'm going to bed.
