Chapter 60
Dominic woke up finding his head on top of Letty's back. How he ended up like that? Was a mystery to him, yet it was the usual, they always woke up tangled not knowing how they became that way. He lifted his head laying it on the pillow facing Letty's sleeping form. He lifted himself slightly to look at the clock, it read 8:00 time to wake up. He looked over at Letty and began to nudge her awake.
"Wake up baby." she squirmed and moaned. "Go away." she whined not wanting to wake up. "Nah girl it's time to get up. We got work to take care of." "Why?" Letty mumbled her face buried in her pillow. "Cause we need money." "Mmmm." Was Letty's response to him. Finally he grabbed the bed sheet taking it off, uncovering their nude bodies. "Why you do that for? I'm cold." Letty finally lifted herself up and turned to lay on her back. Dominic watched her for a moment then began to rub at her flat stomach. He kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Stop, you said we had to go to work." Letty groggily replied, her hands rubbing at her eyes.
She felt Dom get out of bed, then heard the shower go on. She sat up looking around at the filthy room finally she decided to get up. She grabbed some boxers and a shirt, put them on and walked out the door.
She could here the TV on and as she made her way to the staircase she stepped over a passed out guy in the hallway, she didn't bother to see who it was. The smell of coffee hit her nose followed by the smell of pancake, eggs, and bacon.
She saw Jesse, Leon and the blond that he was with the previous night watching cartoons. "Hey, you and Vince are suppose to be at the shop." she scolded Leon, he looked up at her in shock. "No, it's suppose to be Jesse and Vince." Jesse turned to look over at Leon. "Nah man, I was at the shop last week it's your turn." Leon finally got up the blond getting up with him. "Ahh, I guess I'll go." Letty looked at the blond not telling her anything. "Umm, make sure one of you throws the expired bags of chips into the trash. If not you'll have Mia to deal with." she smiled as Leon rolled his green eyes.
Her stomach began to rumble wanting food. She walked towards the kitchen entering to find Mia humming and happier then ever before. "So why are you so happy today?" she asked with a smirk, she knew the answer, it was "White bread." Mia turned to look at her "No big reason." "Yeah whatev' man, I know it's Brian so spill it." Letty teased her. Mia turned around and looked towards the door trying to make sure Dominic didn't hear. "Well, last night after you and Dom left, Brian and I went into the dinning room. We talked for a few seconds then left. I gave him a ride home, he lives at Harry's, we talked for awhile you know, mainly about his life and stuff." Letty nodded taking a bowl, she poured cereal and milk in it. "Anything else happen?" Letty began to laugh as Mia's face turned a crimson shade. "No what makes you think that?" Letty didn't have enough time to answer her because Dom walked in.
"What are you two talking about?" he asked as he kissed his sister on the cheek. "Nothing." Mia tried to talk as innocently as possible. He turned to look at Letty, who without wanting to, confirmed it with her eyes that it wasn't just anything. "Yeah whatever you say." Mia frowned at his answer. "We were talking about girl stuff ok?" Mia insisted on convincing her brother. He nodded and sat down next to Letty who was busy with a big bowl of Coco Puffs. Mia served him pancakes with eggs and bacon. Letty took a couple of piece of bacon from his plate.
Finally she finished eating, she put the bowl in the sink. "I'mma go take a shower." she stretched her arms. Dominic nodded at her and watched her walk out of the kitchen. She headed up the stairs and found that the guy was now gone.
After taking a quick shower she pulled on Dom's boxers, some pants that where obviously to big for her small waist, and a white wife beater. She pulled her hair into a loose ponytail. She ran down the stairs and grabbed her car keys, Mia followed her outside.
"I'll follow you." Mia commented to Letty. "K" she replied getting into her car. Minutes later they arrived at the garage. Letty grabbed a clip board from the office and the keys to the car. She went outside and drove the car into the garage. She opened the hood and looked at the engine bay. Dominic walked over to her, taking a look at the engine bay. "Umm, we can't figure out what's wrong with the car." Letty nodded and began checking the oil.
"The oil is good, man. Maybe it need a new air filter." she suggested. Dominic looked at her and shrugged "Check it then." "Dom…" they heard Mia call as she made her way to him. He began to walk over to Mia, Letty heard Dom explain some of the paperwork to Mia. Letty took out the filter, she put it to the light to inspect it. She heard Mia ask "What about parts and service?" "Hold off on that" "Dom, I don't know what to do with this." Letty saw a car pulling up, she looked at the crap of a car that was on a towing truck bed.
She saw Dominic walk over to it, "Alright, what the hell is this?" Then she saw Brian. "What do you got there?" She walked to the front following Dom and Jesse. "This is your car." She had to smile at that. "My car? I said a ten-second car, not a ten-minute car." "You could push this across the finish line, or tow it." she laughed at Jesse's comment. "Couldn't even tow that across the finish line." she laughed even harder at that. What was "white bread" thinking? "No faith." Brian looked at Dominic. "Oh, I have faith in you, but this isn't a junkyard. This is a garage." He turned to look at Letty and Jesse, Letty turned to look at him. "Hey, pop the hood." Brian instructed. "Pop the hood?" Dominic asked surprised. "Pop the hood." Brian repeated.
Dominic looked over at Letty. "Let move the car and park it in front of the trailers." Letty walked over to the office and grabbed the keys. She put the air filter back into the car and closed the hood. She backed the car into the space in front of the trailer.
She walked over to where Mia was standing watching the boys getting the car off of the towing truck. "Like what you see?" Letty asked as innocently as possible, but couldn't stop smiling. Mia looked at her faking shock, "What are you talking about?" Letty laughed at her. "Aww come on don't tell me that you're not looking at his white ass." "Letty!" Mia gasped, this time in shock. "What!? I'm just telling the truth." Letty began to laugh loudly. "Oh man, you're something else Mi." Mia looked at her. "And you don't stare at my brothers brown ass?" Letty began to laugh even more. "Eww Mia how do you know that his ass is brown?" Mia looked at her and gasp. "I was just saying. Now I have a bad image in my head. Thanks Let." Letty was wiping away the tears of her eyes from laughing to hard. "I do what I can to help." Letty laughed at the face Mia made. She walked towards the office and went in.
She sat down looking at all the paperwork. She felt Dominic walk into the office. "Hey do me a favor look for these parts in the stock room." she tuned the chair to face him, he handed her a piece of paper. "Mark the ones that we have and leave the rest blank." She nodded and grabbed a pen while watching him go back into the garage.
She finally got up and went to the back. When she finished she went back outside to where Dominic, Brian, and Jesse where busy talking.
"Here ya go." she handed the paper back to Dominic. "We're going to Harry's and closing up here for the day." She nodded and walked back to the office. Mia was now in there looking at more paperwork.
"We're leaving." Letty told her, Mia nodded. "Yeah I'm riding with Brian." Letty laughed at her excitement. "That's nice. So when you going to sleep with him?" Mia blushed which caused Letty to giggle. "Stop laughing at me. I don't know, but I do wonder how good he's in bed." They heard footsteps and then Dominic entered the office.
He looked at both of them. They where hiding something from him, he couldn't figure it out. His sister was blushing and Letty was about to start laughing. "What's going on?" he eyed his sister then stared at his girlfriend knowing that she couldn't lie to him. Mia knew that Letty was bad at lying to Dom, she gave it away with her eyes. "Um…we're just talking about girl stuff." Dominic didn't remove his eyes from Letty and she was trying hard to keep staring at him without laughing. "Right, well you and I will have a talk about this later." he was talking to Letty who just nodded. "Lets go." Dom walked out of the room and both girls immediately started laughing.
They all got in their cars, Leon had just arrived and instead of getting off decided to follow. When they got to Harry's Leon and Letty walked over to the display cases. While Dom, Brian, and Mia went to the front, Jesse went to look at the rims.
"So where's V?" Letty asked Leon as they looked at the exhaust pipes. "He didn't wanna come. Cause you know, his jealous of Bri, so he went home instead. You think Mi would go out with Bri?" Letty shrugged, she knew that Mia would go out with him. "I don't know, but if she does there's going to be a lot of problems." Leon nodded. "Come on lets go." They heard Dominic call out to them. They walked outside and got in their cars. In front Leon and Dom led, the red truck was in the middle and in back were Jesse and Letty.
They arrived back at the garage and unloaded and unpacked the parts, placing them on the floor. When they finished Letty stood there looking at Dominic, who was busy talking to Brian. Then she heard Mia, "Dom, what are we doing for dinner?" Letty watched her walk over to them and look at Brian, she had to smile. "We'll do a BBQ." Dominic hugged her. "Ok, but we need food." Mia turned to look at Letty. "Go to the store?" Mia asked her. Letty rolled her eyes, "Fine." She walked over to Dominic tilting her head and licking her lower lip, he smiled at her then kissed her forehead moving down to her lips. She put her hands on his waist and moved it down to his ass. Brian and Mia both watched the couple for a moment. "Um get a room." Mia finally spoke up. The couple broke the kiss and Letty glared at her. "We're in a room, you're the one who's in here watching." Mia laughed. "You got to go to the store, oh and make sure you take the boys they need something to do." They watched as Jesse came out of the other office. "Yo Brian, I need to show you something." Brian walked over there and they both went into the office.
"Ok I'm leaving. See ya at home." Letty was about to walk away, but Dom grabbed her arm he pulled her back lowering his face to hers. "We're not done yet." he kissed her ear moving to her cheek and then her lips. He licked her lips trying to get her to open, finally she opened not being able to resist. His tongue snaked its way into her mouth, he massaged her palate. They broke the kiss, he kissed her on the forehead one more time. "I'll be home in a few." she nodded licking her lips.
She got home to find Vince playing video games and Leon was taking a shower. "Hey." Vince looked at her. "Hey, where's Mi?" Letty cocked her eyebrow. "At the garage. I'mma take a shower." Vince nodded and she headed upstairs.
She took a quick shower and put her black leather pants on and a black shirt that left her midriff exposed. Then she fixed her hair into a ponytail and headed downstairs. Dominic and Mia had arrived, Mia had gone to take a shower while Dominic talked to Vince about something. "Ok lets go." Leon said when he saw Letty walk into the room. "Come on V, we're going to the store." Letty looked at Vince, reluctantly he got up and followed them outside.
At the store Letty got everything they needed while Vince and Leon fooled around. They got in line to pay, in front of them there was a blond girl who to Vince and Leon looked hot. Leon looked at her with a smile "Hey there, haven't I seen you some place before?" he asked her with his good charm. "Yes, I'm the head Nurse at the VD clinic." Both Letty and Vince immediately began to laugh loudly while Leon looked shocked. "Ooooh pumpkin!" Vince laughed. "Man, she got you good." Letty chimed in. Leon gave them both the finger and paid for the stuff.
They arrived back home with Leon in front, followed by Letty and then Vince. When they got out both Letty and Leon looked at Vince as he spotted Brian. He handed the grocery bag to Leon. "I'm outta here." Vince began to walk back to his car. "Come on, dog. Yo, Dom." "What you talking about coyote man." Letty had enough of his bullshit and began to walk towards the house. "Vince, get over here and give us a hand." Dominic called out. "Looks like you got all the help you need, brother!" Vince sped off.
Letty walked into the kitchen followed by Jesse and Brian. "Here ya go." Lrtty handed her the groceries. "Ok I need help." she looked at the three. "I think Dom's calling me." Letty laughed and walked out. She went over to Dom.
"Here cut the chicken." Dominic handed her the knife and then began to put barbecue on the chicken. "Mia!" Dom called out as she walked down the stairs. "All right already." "The chicken's dry already!" "I'm coming out already." "Awww" Dominic hugged his sister. "Here you go." Mia handed him something to put the chicken in.
The team sat down to eat, Letty held the fork and knife in each hand waiting for someone to make a move. Then Jesse grabbed the chicken. "Hey, hold up. Because you were the first out of everybody here to reach in to get the chicken, you say grace." Jesse looked at Dom with shock. "Oh, Dear heavenly, uh…" Leon decided to help him out. "Spirit." "Spirit. Thank you. Uh, thank you for providing us with a direct port nitrous, uh, injection. Four core intercoolers and ball-bearing turbos, and um, titanium valve springs. Thank you." they laughed and smiled at Jesse's prayer. "Amen" Leon finished. "Not bad." Dom commented. "Amen" Brian also said. "He was prayin' to the car gods, man." she smiled at him. "If he's not the best…" Dom began, but was interrupted by Leon.
"Look who it is." he laughed "Old Coyotes 'R' Us. I thought you weren't hungry, pumpkin." "You know. I gotta eat." Vince didn't have much to say. "He's always hungry." Letty commented trying to be understanding about the fact that Vince was jealous, but it also got on her nerves sometimes. "Alright, sit down." Vince kissed the top of Dom's head. "How ya' doin' Mia?" He sat next to Letty, she could feel the tension in the air. "Hey Jesse, hand me that chicken, bro." Leon tried to break the tension. "Let's eat some grub, man. Want some of that chicken?" Letty managed to get Vince's attention. "What, you rent a movie or something?" Leon asked him.
Leon, Jesse and Vince walked inside to get comfier. Letty got up and walked over to Dom who pulled her onto his lap. Mia and Brian where both still seating at the table. She began playing with his shirt. "You guys don't have anymore siblings?" Brian asked, trying to make conversation. "No, it's just always been us two." Mia replied. "Oh and you?" He looked at Letty. "Um…my family life was kinda screwed up." she replied. "Oh sorry." Mia could tell that he was uncomfortable "How about you?" she asked him. "I have two sisters. They're older than me though." Dominic laughed at him. "I feel sorry for you." Both Letty and Mia glared at him. "I wouldn't be talking if I where you." Letty scolded. "But it's fun to live with you two." Dominic tried to redeem himself. "Whatev'." she rolled her eyes at him. "Come on lets go inside." Dom told her, she smiled sweetly at him. "Dommy carry me?" Dominic laughed. "I guess." he got up with her and carried her inside. Leon was beginning the movie while Jesse was making popcorn. They got settled on the floor and began to watch. Vince finally got up and went to the kitchen. Moments later he came out grouchy. He stormed through the living room and yelled at Jesse. "What's his problem?" Letty asked as he went to his room. "Let's go to bed baby." Dom whispered. She nodded and they got up going to their room.
They heard a knocking on the door and Dom got up to open it. Vince looked at him "He has to go!" Letty watched from where she was now laying on the bed. "Stop." Dom responded softly. "I'm just saying that the guys a nark. You should be watching who you bring into this family." "Is this why you came up here for?" Vince looked at him. "I'm serious bro, you know better than anyone that we don't need nobody coming around here snooping around." Letty turned to look up at the ceiling, she was becoming bored with the conversation. "You can go now V." she heard the door close and then felt the bed move.
"It's the jealousy." Letty said stretching her arms out. "I know, but he knows that he needs to lay off of Mia." Dominic took off his shirt and threw it to the ground. "We need to clean this room up." Letty said slowly while Dom turned to look at her. "Clean it up? Why? It looks fine this way." Letty sat up and looked at him. "Are you for real? Look at it, we can't even tell that there's a wooden floor down there." Dominic chuckled. "How about we do something else." she looked at him narrowing her eyes. "What do you have in mind Toretto. Oh by the way you aint getting any." He frowned. "Why not?" "Cause I'm on my month and well we aint doing it like that." she replayed sheepishly. "Fine lets go to sleep then." Dom replied.
"I just remembered." Dom said as they laid in bed in the dark. "What?" Letty asked curious at first and then remembered the conversation with Mia earlier that day. "What's going on with you and Mi." he asked her. She bit her bottom lip trying to figure something out. "Nothing, it was just girl talk as she said." he turned to look at her. "And if you where telling me the truth you wouldn't be biting your lip." he chuckled. "That's no fair. Look it's Mia's life and I can't tell you." Letty ran her hand through her hair. "She's my sister." "Yeah but she's my best friend." Dominic dropped the subject then, both falling asleep moments later.
