Letty's POV
It had been a long and emotionally draining week, Dom and Vince had convinced me to report everything to the police and in turn Dom reported the abuse to the school since it had started on school grounds. It had been hard sitting there recounting everything that had gone down but I managed somehow. Matt and Jason got expelled and were facing jail time, the other boys all got suspensions and had been warned never to come near us again or AVO's would be thrown at them.
Dom had given the police the photos that had been taken and the doctor that Dom had taken me to see had also handed over the photos of my injuries I had received from them. I was thankful that Hector and his family hadn't sided with Jason but rather told him to own up to what he'd done and plead guilty at the charges, last I'd heard Hector had been telling Dom they were facing two long hard years in jail over it. Hector had been hoping they'd do more time in order to learn their lesson but I was just glad it was over and done with. I could finally relax a little. Dom had been told to keep me out of school until my ribs had healed which was about six weeks, I wasn't entirely impressed with the fact I was pretty much on bed rest until then but I was glad to escape the drama that had been caused at school over the incident so by the time I'd go back everything would be back to normal.
I'd even got a visit from Nathan and Tyler apologising for their behaviour and asking to be friends again. Mia and I agreed but it wasn't the same relationship we had had previously with them but it was on the mend.
Nathan and I had sorted things out over the cheating incident and I told him I honestly didn't want a relationship with him and I wanted to be strictly just friends, he understood and he agreed it would be for the best.
The team was being really protective over Mia and I, which considering the circumstances I couldn't really blame them. Dom wouldn't leave me at home by myself so while I was off school if they were at the garage working I was to lounge around on the lounge in the office for the day so they could keep an eye on me. It got annoying at times but Dom wouldn't back down so eventually I'd given up arguing.
"Let, you hungry?" Jesse asked as he popped his head around the corner of the office door where I was currently situated.
"Um a little I guess." I replied looking up from the car magazine I had been staring blankly at.
"Okay Vince is going to get lunch anything in particular?" he asked.
"Uh the usuals fine Jess thanks." He smiled at me before heading back out into the main garage with the others.
Sighing I rubbed my face tiredly. I hadn't been sleeping well ever since the investigation had started. Dom had been trying to give me space and had been putting me into my bed of a night but I couldn't sleep and I'd usually find my way into his bed in the early hours of the morning.
"How ya doin girl?" I jumped at the sound of Leon's voice as he came and sat down in the office with.
"Alright, bit out of it today." I said, he grinned.
"I thought that was how you normally were." I glared over at him. He grinned knowing how much I wanted to kick his ass right now but wasn't able.
"Oi man, don't rile her up." Dom said coming into the office sitting down in his chair at the desk.
"she knows I'm playin." Leon grinned at me.
"She'll still kick your ass when she's recovered." Dom said laughing at Leon as he thought about it for moment.
"How ya feeling?" Dom asked me leaning back in his chair.
"Tired and bored." I replied as I threw the magazine down on the floor, lying back against the pillows more.
"I'm nearly done Let, then I'll take you home. You boys should be able to handle the last car on your own." Dom said to us as he started on some paper work.
"We'll be right." Jesse said as he came and sat on the end of the lounge near my feet.
"lunch is served." V yelled walking in the office.
"Great I'm starving." Leon said as V through him and Jesse their lunch. Jesse passed mine over to me and Vine passed Dom's to him.
"I was just saying to Letty I'll leave you guys in charge of the last car and I'll take her home to sleep." Dom said to Vince who nodded agreeing.
"Jesse don't forget to pick Mia up from school." Dom reminded him.
"Yep 3 o'clock. Got it." He said. I stayed silent eating my burger. Since I wasn't going to school they had a roster for dropping off and picking up Mia from school, even though she could have driven they didn't want her to be alone.
I finished my lunch and chucked the rubbish in the bin from where I was. Rolling my shoulders I leant my head back and closed my eyes listening to them talk cars, races and girls.
Dom's POV
Chatting a way with the boys I looked over at Letty realising she had been very quiet throughout lunch. I smiled when I realised that she'd fallen asleep.
"You better get her home Man." Vince said as he realised what I'd been looking at.
"Yeah." I said putting away the paper work before picking up my keys.
"Hey Dom?" I looked over at V.
"I know it's probably not the best time but I think you should speak with her again about how you feel." I rolled my eyes.
"Dude she's messed up, I'm not going to cause her anymore pain then she's already been through. I'll tell her again when everything else is over. And when did you become in touch with your girly side V?" I asked I heard him scoff.
"Bro you need to tell her. You think we don't notice that we put her to bed in her room but she wakes up in yours in the morning? It's obvious she wants to be with you." V explained.
"Nothing's happened, and nothing will happen for a long while, she's just after a little security." I ground out.
"Nah dude that's where you're wrong, you and Letty got something man, something's already happened. She cheated on her boyfriend with you remember?" I paused at his words.
"Yeah I remember." I said tensely.
"What did end up happening between you two anyways? Pretty boy seemed to think you guys went all the way?"
"Guys seriously this is Letty and I, not me and some race whore. Why are we talking about this?"
"Cos I know if you don't make a move soon or decide to go and get yourself some action elsewhere while she sorts herself out, you're gunna be more high strung then you already are." Vince said and Leon and Jesse agreed nodding.
"I'm not high strung…" They laughed.
"No? When was the last time you actually slept with a girl?" Huffing I thought about it. Shit it would have been about six weeks ago if not more. Vince smirked as he realised he had me, shaking my head I flipped them off as they laughed their way out of the office. Looking down at Letty I knew she wasn't ready for anything, and Vince was right I got moody as hell if I went for too long without anything.
I loved Letty I knew that much, but I didn't know how she felt about me. So I made a split decision to ask her when we got home, it would just be the two of us for a couple of hours until everyone got home.
I reached down and pushed Letty's hair away from her face and gently woke her up.
"Hmmm." She mumbled as she opened her eyes groggily.
"Come on you, let's get you home to sleep." She nodded and I gently helped her up. Saying goodbye to everyone and I flashed them all warning looks as they made faces and sexual movements while Letty wasn't looking.
"I'll call up Candy for ya, she's been wanting a turn with you." V said as Letty stopped by the car.
"Oh is she the one with the nice ass? The blonde one?" Leon started asking.
"Yeah, yeah that's the one. Loves it rough-"
"Guys seriously…." I said shaking my head walking out unlocking the car so Letty could get in.
"What are they going on about?" She asked as I hoped in the car. Gritting my teeth I smiled tensely at her.
"Nothing ignore them, they're just giving me a hard time." I said as we pulled out.
"You know I heard a bit of what you guys were talking about in the office." I avoided looking over at her.
"I don't regret what happened between us that morning." She said softly.
"Letty don't… you're in no state for this talk." I begged.
"Says you… I'm fine Dom stop handling me like I'm going to break. Let me decide when I'm ready okay." Staying quiet I nodded. For the most of the ride it was silent, at one point I thought she'd fallen asleep again but just as I pulled into the driveway she spoke.
"I feel the same way about you, you know." I groaned as I turned off the engine.
"Letty, you know how I feel about you, but are you seriously telling me after everything that's happened you're okay for a relationship?" I asked as I turned in my seat to look at her.
"Yes." I stared at her for a moment before getting out of the car and walking around to her side.
"Dom…" she said as I helped her out.
"Alright, let's talk about it inside." I said as I led her inside and made her go and lay in bed. We got to her room but she just looked at me and kept walking, frowning I followed her into my room and found her getting into my bed. I looked at briefly before joining her on the bed.
"Alright let's talk." I sighed.
"You first you tell me why you think I'm not ready for this." She said.
"One you've been through hell Letty, you said so yourself the other day this ordeal had you drained. I'd feel like I'd be taking advantage of you." I explained.
"I feel safe with you Dom, you won't hurt me." She argued. I stared at her and suddenly had an idea. Shuffling so I straddled her body being careful of her ribs I stared at her.
"Alright let's try something. When you start to feel uncomfortable you have to tell me to stop, okay?" She stared back calmly and nodded. Shifting forward I leaned in and kissed her and was a little surprised she kissed me straight back. Both her hands came up one to grip the back of my head and the other stayed on my shoulder helping her lift up a little. Pushing her down on the bed so she was lying flat on her back I continued kissing her one hand holding me up and the other resting on her hip. I continued kissing her, loving the feel of her body beneath mine.
Slowly my hand made it way up her body and under her shirt. I skimmed her midsection with my fingertips and ventured straight up to her breasts. She sucked in a breath and pulled away from my lips as my hand enclosed around one palming it over her bra. I stared down at her, she had her eyes closed and I felt her shake as I traced the edges of her bra. Keeping a steady pace and making sure my eyes never left her face, I started to move my hand under her bra when she her eyes suddenly jolted open and I stopped. Her breathing was harsh as she stared wide eyed at me. Pulling my hand out I moved back and resumed my spot next to her.
"I'm sorry." I said as I pulled her close into my side.
"Don't be I liked it I just…."
"Letty you're not ready okay? Give yourself some time to heal and we'll go from there." She didn't say anything.
"No wait, can't we just take things slow. Make boundries or something?" I stared down at her torn, I didn't understand why she was fighting me so much on this.
"Let…" I begged as I took a deep breath.
"Please, I want to be with you. And I heard what the boys were saying today when we left. I don't want you with any other woman as much as you hated seeing me with Nathan." She pleaded.
"Let I wasn't planning on running to anyone else. I'll wait its fine, you're worth it." I said quietly.
"No Dom please…" she begged. Fuck I hated seeing the pained look on her face. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath before letting it out.
"Okay, but you control this. We only do what you're comfortable with okay?" I said as I tightened my hold on her.
"Thank you." She said as she nodded. I kissed her head and relaxed against the bed.
"So we're official?" She asked quietly.
"Yes, I hope you know I don't plan on letting you go anytime soon baby girl." I said.
"That's good, I don't plan on letting you go either." Smiling widely to myself I gave her one last kiss before she settled down to sleep for the afternoon in my arms.
