Dom's POV
Vince had settled down after a few hours with Hector and because of that it had made me relax as well. We got back to the house around seven thirty and the girls still weren't home.
"We're going to have to go get them if they don't show up soon." Vince said as he looked out the window and down the street.
"I'll give Letty a call." I said as I whipped out my phone and dialed her number but it went straight to voice mail. Sighing I hung up and shook my head at Vince.
"I'll go down and get them." I said but as I finished speaking the front door opened. I walked out of the kitchen and froze as I saw Letty and how she was dressed. She was gorgeous I couldn't believe I was looking at the same girl I had known my whole life.
"Damn Let you clean up alright." Vince joked and she grinned.
"I have Mia to thank for that." She said but I couldn't take eyes of her let alone talk.
"Ready?" She asked and I managed a nod.
"Who are you riding with?" I asked stuttering out my question.
"Are you racing?" she asked and I nodded wondering what difference it made.
"I'll ride with you then." I had to fight hard to contain my grin instead I nodded as Mia chose to ride with Vince as we locked up and headed out to the cars.
"One rule for when we get there." I said quietly to Letty as we drove.
"What?" she asked.
"You don't wander off. I know it's only people from school but it can get rough. You stay with Vince or me, possibly Hector and his crew." I explained glancing at her as she sat turned in the seat watching me.
"Okay."
"I mean it Letty whatever we say goes, for your own safety." I added.
"I understand Dom, relax. I'm just excited to be going." I smiled at her and she gave me a half smile back.
"She going to be there?" She asked casually and I hesitated.
"Yes. Johnny races." I said quietly.
"Fair enough." And that was the end of the conversation. I wanted to say more, tell her I was going to end it but I didn't because I was worried that if I told her I wanted to be with her that I'd end up hurting her. That was something I didn't want to happen but at the same time the chemistry between us was building and I didn't know how long it would be before something happened again.
"This is it." I said as I pulled up a at the railway crossing. There were quite a few cars here already Hector's being among them as was Johnny's.
"I mean it stay close okay?" I reminded her and she nodded as we stepped out of the car and I turned watching Vince and Mia do the same. Vince immediately attached himself to Mia's side and for that I was glad.
"Dom I see you brought company." One of the regulars said eyeing up Letty and I frowned at him subtly telling him to back off.
"Yeah. Where's Hector?" I asked and he nodded over in another direction but his eyes didn't stray from Letty which annoyed me. in fact I noticed more than half the male population there were checking out Letty and it didn't sit well with me. Vince and Mia joined us and I draped my arm over Letty's shoulders protectively noticing her tense immediately as I did so.
"You okay?" I asked her worriedly and she nodded.
"Fine."
"Then why are you tense?" I asked and she stared up at me giving me a knowing look and I got the message.
"It was just a friendly gesture." I mumbled as I removed my arm.
"Dommy." I heard and I cringed.
"Michelle." I said as she came bounding up to me immediately wrapping herself around me. I loosely wrapped an arm around her waist keeping up appearances for the moment as I tensed worried what she was going to do in front of Letty.
"Leticia I see you've decided to tag along." She taunted and I frowned down at Michelle.
"I was invited actually." I had to hide my smile as I listened to Letty bite back.
"Oh by who?" She said looking up at me accusingly.
"Dom and Vince." She replied as she leant against my car next to Vince while Mia actually sat on my hood.
Michelle gave me a glare and I stared down at her for once not caring. I let my arm drop from her waist as I moved away from her a bit as hector came over.
"Sup." He greeted us but he sent Michelle frown. Another one who didn't like her very much so it seemed.
"Who am I racing?" I asked and he nodded towards Johnny and I sighed.
"Don't worry baby I'll ask him to go easy on you." Michelle said rubbing my chest through my shirt and I frowned down at her again.
"Michelle I don't want him to go easy. I've beaten him every other time we've raced against each other." I stated.
"But baby I'm just making sure you win." She said pretending to be upset as I shook my head.
"He'll win." I looked over at Letty as she stood watching Michelle.
"I didn't say he wouldn't win I just said I wanted to make sure he did. What would you know anyway? Have you ever seen him race?" She snapped at Letty.
"Don't speak to her like that." I snapped at Michelle and she huffed removing herself from me.
"Whatever I'm going to find my brother." She said as she stormed off.
"Great." I sighed as I watched Vince and Hector share a laugh.
"Fifty bucks says he's going to kick your arse by the end of the night for upsetting her." Hector bet but I shook my head.
"No way man I know I'm going to lose that bet." I said as I thought to the conversation Michelle and I were going to have, not that she knew about it yet.
My race was up and I rolled my eyes at the glares Johnny was sending me from his car. I revved my car as the lights were due to change and as soon as the green light came on I floored it shooting ahead of Johnny. It was a quarter of a mile and I beat Johnny by a car length. I grinned seeing how pissed he looked.
"Lucky day Toretto." He shouted as we got out of our cars back to where we started from. I shook my head at him as he stormed off.
"Oh baby I knew you'd win." Michelle squealed as she threw herself at me and I barely had time to catch her.
"Geez Michelle don't do that." I muttered angrily as I steadied us but she ignored me and pressed her lips to mine trapping me in a kiss. I hesitated as I looked over her shoulder at Letty and found her staring back at me. I pulled away not returning her kiss as Letty looked away.
"Baby…" She whined.
"Come with me." I said quietly as I looked at her. She stopped staring up at me and tensed.
"Why?"
"Just come with me okay?" I asked as I grabbed her hand and led her over to a secluded section.
"Privacy at last." She said gleefully when she realized we were alone and before I had time to stop her she kissed me again. I broke away and glared at her.
"Would you stop doing that. I just want to talk to you." I said and she pouted.
"Talking's no fun… besides you owe me after last time." She hinted smirking but again I pushed her away a bit.
"Michelle stop it okay? I'm breaking up with you." I said finding it such a relief to say.
"Excuse me?" She yelled recoiling from me but I didn't back down.
"It's over Michelle I'm ending it."
"No you're not this isn't over until I say it is." She stated and I shook my head at her.
"Seriously Michelle shut up okay? I'm so over your attitude." I stated angrily.
"My attitude? That's rich coming from a guy like you. Just wait until I tell my brother about this."
"Go ahead I could care less but if you do I'll tell him you've been sleeping around." I stated and she looked at me shocked.
"You seriously didn't think I'd find out? I'm not stupid Michelle."
"You've been cheating too." She accused and I shrugged.
"I was doing nothing different to what you did." She let out a small frustrated scream.
"Bastard. You haven't heard the end of this Dominic." She warned as she stormed off.
"Feel better?" I heard as I turned to see Vince.
"Much, thanks for the advice." I said and he smiled.
"Thanks for getting rid of the headache." I laughed at him and then looked around noticing Mia and Letty weren't with him.
"They're with Hector, just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I'm more then okay." I said and he nodded.
"So does this mean you'll ask Letty out now?" he asked as we walked back to my car.
"I don't want to hurt her." I said quietly.
"No one's expecting it to be perfect but at least give it a try. You're crazy for each other."
"I'll think about it." I said putting an end to the discussion as we met back up with everyone.
"Party at yours?" Hector asked and I nodded.
"Yeah man."
"See you there in half an hour then." He said walking off.
"So everything you expected it to be?" I asked Letty and she grinned widely.
"Yes. It's been awesome, thank you for this." She said softly and I smiled.
"You're welcome. Ready to party?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, you?" I grinned.
"I think we both could use a drink." She smiled.
"We're still friends right?" she asked and I nodded.
"Always. I've missed you Let, I don't like fighting with you." I said honestly.
"I've missed you too and we weren't exactly fighting… just ignoring each other."
"We're good now though right?" I asked and she smiled and nodded.
"You know the deal so as long as you stick to it we're fine."
"Come on I'll let you drive home." Her eyes widened as I handed over my keys. She took them slowly and I had to smile at her shocked face.
"But you never let anyone drive your car." She said shocked and I shrugged.
"I know I can trust you with it." I said sincerely and she sent me a small smile.
"Thanks."
"Come on lets party." I said softly as I patted her leg as she jumped off the hood. Gesturing to Vince we were leaving I watched briefly as he and Mia headed for his car. I grinned at Letty as I got in the passenger's side.
"Ready when you are."
"Are you sure about this?" she asked suddenly unsure but I nodded calmly.
"I trust you Let."
"But you trust Vince and you won't let him drive." I laughed.
"I trust Vince to have my back; I don't trust him with my car. You've seen how he drives." I explained and she nodded smiling.
"True but you haven't seen me drive yet."
"True now's as good of a time as any. So…" I hinted but she just started the car in response.
"So let's go we have a party to get to."
Vince had settled down after a few hours with Hector and because of that it had made me relax as well. We got back to the house around seven thirty and the girls still weren't home.
