Chapter 55
Dominic drove around for a few hours trying to figure out why he told Letty that he was dating the wrong person. He wasn't and he knew it, Letty is the only person for him no one else could make him complete like she did. He needed her more then anything, he was a druggie following around his drug dealer. Without her he was nothing.
He arrived back home and parked in the driveway. He then headed up the stairs and slowly opened the door to his room but Letty wasn't there. She wasn't in their bed, her clothes was still scattered around the room so he knew that she was somewhere in the house. He headed to Mia's room and sure enough she was sleeping in there. He went back to bed missing her body the sound of her soft breathing.
He knew he had to make things right, but how he didn't know. For now he would just let it go and let her cool off. At least that is what he thought right now.
Letty was sitting on the kitchen counter watching Mia finish making breakfast for herself. Mia was mad at everyone and decided that she would not cook for anyone. Vince and Dom where mad at each other and not talking. Mia only talked to Letty because they where sharing a room since Letty broke up with Dom. Mia was trying to convince her to get back with him. Only they both big ego's to make the first move. Letty saw as Dominic walked into the kitchen she rolled her eyes at him and jumped off the counter. "I'll be in your room Mi cause it smells like crap in here." Mia turned to look at what Letty was looking at and saw Dominic standing there. Letty walked out of the room.
Dominic rolled his eyes and looked at his sister. "What crawled up her ass this morning?" Mia looked at him "Apparently you didn't." she walked out of the room laughing.
Dominic rolled his eyes and began to make himself breakfast. He felt as though everyone was against him because he wasn't going out with Letty anymore. But it wasn't his fault, Letty had been the one who broke up with him.
He finished eating and headed into the living room where Letty was sitting down watching TV. She got up as soon as he entered the room but he quickly grabbed her arm. She turned to look at him glaring hard at him. They where both glaring at each other until Dominic forcefully kissed her lips, she fought with him but finally gave in and kissed him back bringing her hands up to his face. She finally pulled back and slapped him hard across the face. "Don't ever do that again!" she screamed at him. "But you loved it and you know it." he laughed at her. She gave him the finger and went upstairs.
Dominic and Jesse where walking around a used car lot. Jesse was taking a look at the engines and parts. Dominic found a Civic, but it was red with a sunroof. "Hey Jesse come over here." Jesse walked over to where Dom stood. "Just what we need." Jesse told Dom with a big smile. "Check the engine." Jesse did as told and begin the inspection.
A car sells man walked up to them. "Hello how can I help you today?" he turned to look at Jesse who was busy under the hood. "We're just looking." Dom replied bringing the man to his attention. "Ok, do you need any information about the car?" "Nah it's alright my mad scientist is checking it out." Jesse came out of the hood and looked at Dominic with enthusiasm. "The car is very good." Dominic smiled and turned to the sells man. "I'll take it. You don't happen to have two more do you?" The sells man thought about it for a moment. "I think we might. You want it with the same color?" "No the color don't matter, I just want them to have sunroofs." the sells man looked at them weirdly. He then walked away.
"I think he might get suspicious." Jesse said nervously as they waited for the man to return. "I'll make something up right now." Dominic assured him. The sells man retuned with three sets of keys. "I have two other cars just like this one." Dominic nodded thinking for a moment. "Alright I'll take them and I'll pay cash." The sells man nodded and lead them to his office. "So why three cars exactly the same?" "Cause my triplet sisters all need a car for their sweet 16. And if I don't get the same car…well you can imagine the big fight." Dominic singed papers and worksheets under a different name so the cars wouldn't be traced back to him. "Ok here you go sir, thank you for your business. I'll have the cars brought you right now." They shook hands and headed outside to wait.
Dominic grabbed his cell phone and dialed Leon's number, but it was off. He then dial Vince's number, but he never picked up. Finally he dialed the house number and Mia answered. "Hello?" "Mia it's me Dom. Who's home with you?" "Um…Letty is the only one here. Leon just left a couple of minutes ago." Dominic rubbed his forehead. "Ok I need you to bring Let to Carlos's Auto Emporium. I need her to drive a car back to the garage." "Ok." they hung up and waited some more.
"Letty!" Mia shouted up the stairs. Letty came out of the room and looked down at Mia who was now standing at the end of the stair case. "What?" "We got to go." Letty eyed Mia for a moment. "Where?" "Somewhere, you'll see." With that Mia walked out the door. She knew that if she told Letty that Dom wanted something she would not do it. Letty followed her and got in the car.
They arrived at the car dealer and got out. Mia looked around and made sure she saw Dominic then got back in the car and drove off. Letty rolled her eyes and walked towards Dominic and Jesse.
"Why am I here?" she ask somewhat pissed off and somewhat stressed. Dominic looked at her and handed her a set of keys. "Your new car." he pointed to the dark green Civic and walked to the other one. Jesse had already gotten into the white Civic. Letty stood there for a moment trying to figure out what Dom meant by that but then got in and followed the boys to the garage.
Once at the garage Letty got out and walked over to where Dom was now at. "What's this for?" she asked pointing to the three cars. "The heist." he simply stated and looked at the three cars from where he stood.
A girl in her early twenties walked into the garage wearing jeans, black with white converse, and a grey spaghetti strap shirt. Her black hair was in a ponytail and she only wore black eye liner. She had green eyes and was on the thin side.
Vince was quick to help her out. "Hi how can I help you?" "Well I saw your wanted sign outside and was wondering what kinda job you're offering." Vince looked to where Dom was. "Yo Dom this girl wants to know about the job." Dominic walked over to her ignoring Letty's glares that where directed at the girl. "Hi I'm Dominic Toretto." he extended his hand to shake hers she shook his hand. "I'm Cynthia Marlinson." She smiled at the guy. "Well Cynthia the job's basically office work. Do you have experience with that?" "No not really. But I do know how to work a computer and be organized. I think I am good for the job." she smiled her best smile at him. "Well then you got the job. When can you start?" she shrugged her shoulders. "Whenever you want." Dominic smiled at her. "How about today? My sister should be here any minute now and she can train you." "Ok."
Letty scoffed as the girl talked some more with Dom. While Vince tried getting the girls attention. She walked over to them and got as close as possible to Dom without making it obvious that she was jealous. She glared at the girl and the girl looked back at her sweetly.
"Let this is Cynthia our new secretary. Cynthia this is Letty." Cynthia smiled at Letty but Letty glared at her and looked at Dominic. "The cars what are we going to do with them?" she questioned him. He looked at her and knew that she was jealous so he decided to play with her. "We'll talk about that later. Jesse! Lets talk about the Civics." Dominic and Jesse walked to the back and to Jesse's office. Vince took Cynthia to the main office to wait for Mia. Letty sat down on the counter in the garage being board and feeling hostile towards Cynthia even if she seemed to be into Vince.
Dominic sat down next to Jesse. "Well for the exterior we can paint the body black. We had some tinted Windows, neon glow for under the chassis, spoilers, and body kits. Make them look like another race car. It'll throw off the po po and they wont know who it is from the racing world." Dominic nodded and agreed with him. Jesse finished explaining the rest of what they can do to the car to Dom.
Dominic decided to call it a day and they all went home. He invited Cynthia to join them for BBQ. Much to Letty's dismay she agreed to go. Cynthia got to helping Mia right away wanting to get on her good side, 'I might need it, she can hook me up with Vince' she thought to herself.
Letty walked outside to where the boys where all at, drinking beer. "When are we going to start working on the cars?" She looked at Dom. Who was surprised at her change in attitude towards him. Earlier that day she wouldn't even look at him much less talk to him. "Tomorrow maybe. We're going to take out the stock parts first then I'll go order the parts from Harry's." he explained to her. She nodded and then went to sit down next to Vince.
Mia and Cynthia came out with the salads and other appetizers. Cynthya wanted to sit next to Vince but Letty and Mia beat her to it. So she sat next to Dominic, who took full advatage and started flirting with her. Making Letty pissed off, but she knew she couldn't say anything.
