A/N: Still haven't decided on chapter length, still shooting for 25. Thank you all for the great reviews.

Dani: Your words were very touching! Thank you so much.

"God! I'm so hungover." Letty groaned rolling over on Dom's hotel bed. The sun's beam fell directly in her eye and it made her feel like she had just risen from the dead.

"It's a good thing you don't breastfeed anymore. Alexus would have been drunk for a few days."

"Why do I hurt all over?"

"Thanks to me." He said handing her a glass of water.

"Did we have sex in a Lincoln or did I dream that up?"

"Yes we did." He informed her. "Then we did it in the elevator."

"How the fuck?"

"And then on the balcony."

"Damn I must have been on some shit."

"You wanted me to get you pregnant." Dom laughed. "So we kept trying all night long."

"You're so stupid. I officially hate my drunk self." Letty said placing her face in her hands.

"You had fun." He told her with a smirk.

"You took advantage of me." Letty mumbled.

"You definitely raped me last night. You were like a black widow, man-eater." Letty laughed at Dom's recount of the events from the night before. "I believe your words were, 'If you don't fuck me right now you will live to regret it.'"

"Do you have video proof of this? Because if you don't it didn't happen." Letty snickered.

"I was so close to convincing you to, but damn I got tired. I put in real work last night." He said putting on his shirt.

"Oh whatever!" There was a knock at the door and Dom went to go answer it.

"Good morning! I got you a latte, and your schedule." Christine greeted handing him a cup.

"Thanks!"

"Is that coffee I smell?" Letty asked walking up behind him wrapped in their bed sheets and grabbing the cup.

"I came to give you a twenty minute warning. They'll be expecting you downstairs." Christine continued.

"Who's this?" Letty asked.

"My assistant."

"Since when do you have an assistant?"

"We met last night. I'm Christine." She reintroduced herself.

"I'm sure that went well." Letty said retreating back into their room with Dom's coffee.

"Considering how fucked up you were it went better than I expected."

"Oh shut up!" She yelled from the bathroom. Dom laughed and turned his attention back to his assistant.

"Don't mind her. She's not a morning person."

"I guess I'll leave you two to finish getting ready." Christine said awkwardly before leaving. They gathered the entire family and headed down for Dom's race. He was excited like he normally was, and it was the only part of his job he genuinely loved.

"You're only doing one lap and keep it under 200." Dom told Letty inside his car. She had begged him to let her test out his ride, and though it was unprofessional of him he allowed her to do it.

"Dominic are you sure this is a good idea? She doesn't have the same training as you." Christine asked him when Letty drove away. "I don't think Gabby would approve."

"Gabby has no say with what I do with my ride. Her job is to get me races and get me sponsored. Letty's a better driver than my teammates are. She just hasn't driven a professional stock car before."

"If you say so." Christine said hesitantly. Letty arrived a short while later with a giddy grin on her face.

"You had fun?"

"I think I have a new career goal." She said hopping out of the car, and handing Dom his helmet.

"When you graduate." He told her with a chuckle.

"When you graduate." Letty mimicked. There had been many occasions in where she had told him she rather quit her studies to become a crewmember, but Dom had refused. Letty made her way back to the bench area where Tony had Alexus to watch Dom race. Competition was stiff, but he won in both England and Spain. His family's presence had made it all worthwhile.

The months passed, and after their short trip in Europe, Dom did not complain as much about his duties as a racecar driver. Gabby had slightly backed off about having his family join him when he had to be outside LA. However as Dom's fame grew, she was insistent that he not be publically photographed with them. He had become a heartthrob, specifically in the urban market and she wanted to capitalize on it. Dom honestly preferred things that way. He did not want reporters barging in on his personal life. There were speculations that he had been dating models and others in the business. He was even photographed with a few different girls on several occasions, but Letty did not seem to mind because she was always there watching in the background. She felt secure with where she stood with him, and Dom always reassured her of her place. She did not want to jeopardize his career by throwing public jealous fits. Letty had matured from her street fighting days, and wanted to be a good example for her son. Whenever Dom had to go to events and networking parties people knew who she was and gave her the respect Dom demanded of them.

"Baby I can't go to Texas. I have an exam on Friday. It's finals. You know I can't push those back. Maybe you can take Mia and Alexus with you. It's just the weekend right?"

"Why don't you come down Saturday then? We're there until Monday." Dom insisted.

"I don't know. I'll try because I have another Tuesday."

"You can study on the plane, and at the hotel. Come on please!" He begged her with a kiss.

"Okay fine." Letty conceded rolling her eyes. Dom gave her a satisfied smile. Having been together so long, he found it difficult to sleep without her, and did not want it affecting his performance. On his trip to Texas he brought Mia along to watch Alexus when he couldn't watch him. Mia had gone to take Alexus out on a day trip when Christine knocked on his hotel room door and Dom let her in.

"It's a shame Letty could not join us this weekend, but that little boy of yours is so cute."

"Yeah, he's a special kid." Dom said with a doting smile.

"Just like his daddy." Christine said slightly brushing up against him. "You know Dominic, we've been working together for sometime now and I've developed quite a liking towards you."

"Yeah? Good to know." Dom said clearing his throat, and backing away a step. Nonetheless, she followed suite.

"I was wondering if you would be able to take a look at my car when we get back to LA? You offered when we first met, and I figured since it's been acting a little funny that you wouldn't mind. I wouldn't want anything to go wrong while I'm on the job. You know my one aim is to cater to you." Christine purred adjusting the collar of his button-down shirt.

"Sure, bring it to my dad's garage and I'll have someone take a look if I don't have a chance to get to it."

"Thank you Dominic." She said placing a wet kiss right at the corner of his mouth, and Dom froze. She slowly wiped her lipstick off his skin with her finger. "I don't think red's your color." She said with a slight giggle.

"I suppose not. Listen Christine. I appreciate all the work you've done for me, but I just think it's unprofessional for you to do that."

"Do what?" She asked feigning innocence with a slight pout.

"You know kiss me like that. Let's keep it to handshakes and hugs. Ok?"

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it to come off that way. I just wanted to show my gratitude. You know how mechanics are always scheming people out of money. It's nice to know I have someone that I can trust." She said wrapping her hand softly around his bicep. "Wow you're firmer than you look."

"You trying to say I look weak." He asked with a smirk.

"I mean, you're a man of considerable size, but touching the real thing is so different than what I had pictured in my head."

"You've been thinking about how I feel?" He asked confused.

"Uh, you know like, uh" Christine blathered flusteredly.

"Chrissy, it's cool. I just didn't want there to be any mix-ups. My girl has a bad rep, and I'd hate for something to happen to you because she lost her cool."

"Yeah, Letty is quite the character. So you've been together a long time?"

"Yeah, five years", he answered. "Shit went down between us when we were really young, but age has nothing to do with it. She was only seventeen when she got pregnant, just a kid you know. I felt like a jackass, like I had been taken advantage of her because I was older so I wanted to do right by her. She deserved it. A lot of people didn't think we'd last because of the way we are, but in some fucked up way it works."

"What do you mean the way you are?"

"We fight more than we get along, but we're similar where it counts. I wouldn't want it any other way. She's the best woman I know."

"Wow I hope someday someone praises me like that."

"You will. You're a beautiful and talented girl. I guy would have to stupid not to want you, or he'd have to be in love with someone else." Dom told her emphasizing the last part of his sentence.

"That means a lot coming from you. I hope she appreciates all you've done for her."

"It goes both ways. I wouldn't be here, living my dream, if it weren't for her. Every guy always wants to feel like a man, and she gives me that."

"I'm sure that's not the only thing that makes you feel like a man." Christine said provocatively leaning over to him and grabbing his wrist. "It's time for you to head over to that meeting. You wouldn't want to be late."

"Uh, yeah" Dom said clearing his throat and taking his hand back. They walked over to the conference. He kept his distance from Christine for the rest of the day. He was caught off guard by her forward behavior, and did not want to any confusion or misinterpretation of their working relationship. However that night after a NASCAR Series after party, Dom found himself with a very brazen assistant who had made her way inside his hotel room.

"Do I make you nervous." She murmured as he stood completely still. "I've seen the way you look at me when we're out together and you think no one's watching. I can't deny I try to look good for you. It seemed like you liked black so I wore this dress just for you." She said removing the straps of her dress and letting it fall to the ground.

"Chrissy I'm going to need you not to do this." Dom said warningly attempting to look away.

"Why? It's obvious you like it." She teased, running her index finger over his lips.

"You know why, now stop. If you do, I can pretend you didn't just do this and that maybe you had one too many drinks tonight."

"She doesn't have to know." Christine said bringing him into a kiss. "I can make you feel like a man too."

"I can't." He said pushing her away.

"I promise you I wont disappoint." She said getting on her knees and unbuckling his belt.

"Christine no." He said holding her hands still and bringing her back up.

"Come on Dominic, I know you want to." She said just before kissing him again and latching herself onto him. He attempted to fend her off, but as he did so he heard his door open. Christine was not letting up, and Dom's heart began to palpitate. "Stop" He attempted to say, but it was too late.

"What the fuck is this?" Letty growled in shock.

"Letty!" Christine exclaimed.

"Baby this isn't what it looks like."

"Oh really? Then what is it Dominic!"

"She came in here, and I tried to stop her, but- Christine tell her!"

"I'm so sorry. It just sort of happened. We've been tiptoeing around it for months, but it couldn't be denied anymore."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Dom roared at her. He turned to Letty desperately. "Baby don't listen to her. She's crazy."

"Yeah maybe, but she got to your pants right?" Letty said staring at his unbuckled pants.

"I stopped her I swear to God!"

"You're disgusting." She spat at him.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to find out this way." Christine said, and Letty's rage took over. She grabbed Christine's blond locks and dragged her across the floor.

"Bitch you think you can come and disrespect me by trying to sleep with my man and nothing would happen to you because you said sorry?" Letty screamed at her. Christine tried to fight her off, but Letty's fighting skills surpassed anything the prissy girl's body could muster. Dom knew better than to step in. Letty kicked Christine's face and broke her nose, dragged her into the hallway unclothed, slammed the door behind her, ripped up her dress, and threw it from the balcony. She was hyperventilating with anger.

"Baby-"

"Don't you dare talk to me!" She screamed throwing the table lamp at him. It smashed against the wall missing him by a millimeter. Letty ran up to him and began to hit him repeatedly with all her might. "How could you do this to me? You think that because now you're some big shot with some extra change in his pocket you can treat me like this?"

"Letty calm down! I didn't do anything!"

"You didn't do anything? You were going to fuck her!" She said throwing the television remote and hitting him square in the eye.

"That's enough!" He yelled stilling her angrily.

"I trusted you." She whispered looking away as her eyes grew glossy, but she held back her tears.

"I didn't do anything. You know I wouldn't step out like that." He told her again. "I don't want her." Letty removed herself from his grasp and picked up her small bag.

"Where's Alexus?"

"With Mia."

"Good, he can stay on the trip so he wont see me move your stuff out."

"Letty-" Dom attempted to mediate.

"You're right. You pay rent." She interrupted. "I should move out. Have Mia drop him off at my mother's house when you guys get back. I don't want to see you."

"Baby don't do this." He pleaded attempting to grab once again, but Letty scurried away.

"Don't touch me! You're repulsive." She muttered coldly.

"You have to believe me."

"I'm not stupid Dominic. I know what you're capable of. It was only a matter of time. I just thought you'd at least be smarter about it." She moved to leave, and he yanked at her hoodie to whip her around. Dom attempted to grab hold of her face and kiss her, but she pulled away and gave him a smoldering slap. "As of this very moment, we are no longer together. You have no right to lay your hands on me nor will you ever, you good-for-nothing trifling son of a bitch!" Letty screamed. She spat in his face and bolted out the door.

"What just happened?" Dom asked himself disbelievingly. He wiped his face, and stared at the door momentarily digesting what had just occurred. He rushed out and found his guards helping Christine. He attempted to run after Letty, but there was no trace of her in sight.
