Chapter 41
He looked at her and couldn't believe that she was sitting there in front of him. He put his bags down on the steps and went up to her. He cupped her face and kissed her lips, with hunger, passion, and love. He lifted her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She began to cry harder and buried her face in his neck.
"Oh baby. I missed you so much." he held her tightly afraid that it might be a dream. "Dominic I love you." she whispered into his ear. They went into the living room, he gently put her back down. He kissed her one more time then went to get his bags. She sat down on the sofa and waited for him to return. Once he was back he sat down next to her. He took her face and looked into her eyes, only there was something different in them. Her eyes where dead, as if she had died. It hurt him to see her that way, she looked different, even more beautiful if that was even possible, she had also matured more she looked more like an adult then a teenager.
"You don't know how much I've missed you. I now know that I can't live without you." she looked at him shaking with the coolness her body felt and afraid of telling him everything that happened in the last year or so. She was afraid about how he might react when she told him about their child, but that would have to wait.
"Dominic make love to me." she said in almost a whisper. He smiled at her and began to kiss her soft lips.
They spend the rest of the night making love until early morning then fell asleep.
Later that morning Letty awoke feeling Dom's arm on top of her stomach. She turned to look at him, she kissed his lips and smiled when he captured her bottom lip with his teeth. "Good morning" he smiled at her. "How you sleep last night?" she asked him sheepishly. "Mmm I had an amazing night." he kissed her forehead. "I was thinking that we should repeat last night." he smiled into her hair. "Wouldn't you love that. However we can't, you and I have a lot to talk about." she downcast her eyes. He lifted her chin up with his finger so she was looking at him. "What is it my little girl?" she smiled at his nickname for her. "Not now, I just want to enjoy having you, being in your arms again. I missed you so much Dominic. You don't know how much I've needed you." she began to cry, he kissed away her tears. "Tell me what's wrong, I see it in your eyes." she shook her head no. "Not now there will be time for that later." she kissed him one more time. "Now how about you give me a bath." He grinned like a little kid at Christmas. He grabbed her and took her over to the bathroom. He turned the shower on sitting her down on the tub getting in himself.
She ran her hands all over his body exploring him, she ran her fingers over his new muscles and scars. Then it hit her he had a scar that was not there before, she looked up at him he was looking down at her. "What happened?" she ran her finger over the scar tracing it. "I was shot." Her eyes got wide with surprise, shock, and worry. "When!?" he ran his hand through her hair loving how soft it felt even when wet. "When I was in prison. A guy had a problem with a friend of mine and he shot at my friend, I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But I'm alright now baby." he smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
Once they where done getting ready, they went to eat. "Jesse and Leon." Letty all of a sudden remembered. They didn't know where she had gone and she hadn't returned to them last night. "Who are Jesse and Leon?" Dominic felt a stab of jealousy. "Um they are two guys I met a year ago. We became good friends, they both like cars and they're cool." Dominic nodded but was not to happy about it. "I'll explain to you later, it has a lot to do with what we need to talk about. I want you to meet them, trust me you'll like them." Dom smiled, "Yeah I trust you on that, for you to like them that takes a lot." she playfully punched his arm. "I'm happy to have you back." she said softly. "I'm happy to be back with you."
Letty bit her lower lip noticing for the first time that Mia wasn't around. "Uh Dom, where's Mia at?" He looked at her with sad eyes. "Letty, Mia is having serious problems. She's a drug addict." Letty looked at him with shock, "What!?" "Yeah it all started a while back. I only know what she told me which I guess I'll tell you. She had a boyfriend named Jeremy, they where both happy together and had plans. She wrote to me telling me that they wanted to get married and I gave them my blessing even though I wasn't to happy about it. Anyway Jeremy died about five months ago in a car crash and Mia was devastated. Then everything just came down on her. She had a crisis and a friend of hers introduced her to drugs. She became addicted, one night she overdosed herself and ended up in the hospital. I got out last week and went straight to Montana where she has been all this time. I came back without her because she needs to stay in a rehab center for a couple of months. She's not allowed to have visitors for two months and then they'll call me so we can visit." Letty was quiet, she felt sad for her best friend, bad that she was not able to be there for her.
"Dominic I have to tell you something. Johnny Tran took my sister hostage and his men have been raping her." Dominic looked at her confused and then with anger. "What!? We have to do something about it!" Letty's eyes grew wide, "No!" she said quickly "I got to explain something to you first. Mainly tell you about my life for the past year and you have to hear it. There is something that concerns you, but you might hate me after I tell you." she looked at a piece of crumb on the table that was suddenly more interesting. "Baby I'll never hate you. I love you more then life itself." he went over to her and hugged her tightly. "Now tell me about your life."
