14th March- Mexico City, Mexico
Letty and Leon's house
Leon's POV
The few days after Letty's job were uneventful and passed by too slowly but at the same time I didn't mind it. I was able to spend a heap of time with Letty and Ava. I adored and loved that little girl like my own so to spend every minute with her was worth more than all the money in the world. Letty had made a small joke about me acting like a father. It had thrown us both a little when the weight of it sunk in but we laughed it off. Her words had made me think though and I found myself thinking of the possibility. I knew it was ridiculous but it didn't stop the thoughts.
I had always had feelings for Letty but with Dom in the picture and Letty's love for him I had never acted on them. I had to admit though the more time I spent with Letty and Ava the more I wanted to be a proper family but it was my promise to Dom all those years ago that was stopping me. I knew when the time came, despite what I wanted, she would want him back.
I smiled sadly at Ava as she lay across my lap happily kicking her feet as she stared at me. Letty was sitting curled up into me as she dozed lightly. Ava had been up half the night for some odd reason and Letty and I had barely gotten any sleep.
"You gunna sleep anytime little girl?" I asked quietly as I settled her on my chest. She was a day short of nine weeks old now and time was going past too quickly.
"Hopefully soon." Letty mumbled as she placed her head on my shoulder near Ava's head.
"Doesn't look like it." I yawned as I placed a protective hand on Ava's back and the other around Letty as I closed my eyes.
I had shut my eyes for only a few seconds when I heard a tap at the door. I made no move to get up and neither did Letty. Both of us too tired to bother with some nosey neighbor.
The knocking continued and I sighed as I opened my eyes and made to get up, cradling Ava to my chest as Letty groan about having to move.
I opened the door before the person could knock again and I gave the mail man an annoyed look as he handed over a package for me to sign for. Shifting Ava in my arms I struggled to sign the clipboard with both Ava and the mail in my hands. The guy walked off quickly after that and I stepped back into the house confused as I shut and locked the door behind me.
"What is it?" Letty asked as she sat up properly on the lounge having given up on the thought of sleep.
"No idea." I said as I handed over Ava to her. I ripped into the package and noted the photos immediately. I quickly pulled the out and spread them over the coffee table in front of us. Letty's eyes frowned as she looked over them. Ava was chewing on her fist as I looked down at her on Letty's lap.
"From Charlotte." I spoke as I looked them over one by one. I noted how different Mia, Brian and Dom looked. Life on the run had been hard on them, especially Mia by the looks of things.
"I guess these are it." I spoke and Letty nodded.
"Yeah. It looks like they're planning something."
"Something big." I agreed picking up a photo and turning it over as I read the notes on the back.
"This is Roman." I said and she looked over my shoulder at it.
"Why are they're so many of him?" She asked as she picked up three more pictures of him.
"I think this might explain it." I muttered as I handed Letty a note on the back of one.
"He's hot, if we ever contact them can you get me in his…" She started before cutting off with a disgusted look.
"Charming." She spoke as she pushed those away.
"She really is a bitch." I hissed.
"Language." She snapped and I sighed looking at Ava as she yawned sleepily.
"Sorry."
"You gotta let it go Le." She spoke but I ignored her comment.
"She's getting tired."
"About time." She muttered as she sat and laid Ava down in her arms. I watched as Ava immediately started to look for food. I tried to advert my eyes away from Letty as she began to feed Ava. It wasn't that I was embarrassed or anything like that, my thoughts just took a different turn sometimes.
"Anything else written there?" She asked as I turned back to the pictures.
"No not really just details about each person. She's noted that this is a week's worth of surveillance and she'll send the next lot when she can." I relayed to her and Letty made a noise of agreement. I turned back to look at Ava and noted she was starting to drift at last.
"She's going to be out for a while." I spoke and Letty agreed.
"Maybe we'll get to have a rest ourselves." She said hopefully.
"Sounds nice." I spoke as I packed away the photos.
"I'll go put her down, then I think I might lie down myself."
"Go for it, I'll get you up for dinner."
"Thanks Le." She spoke as she fixed her shirt and stood gently with Ava in her arms. I kissed Ava's little head as Letty stopped in front of me.
I sighed and lay back as I closed my eyes. Maybe I could shut my eyes just for a little while.
15th March-Mexico City, Mexico
Letty and Leon's house
Letty's POV
"I thought you were just passing through." I turned as I heard from behind me. Leon looked past my shoulder with a frown. Ava was tucked away in the car which I was thankful for. The windows were tinted so no one could see in. I turned to David and gave him a small smile.
"I decided to stay a little longer."
"I'm glad." He said looking at Leon behind me. He looked between us obviously trying to suss things out.
"I have a friend who needs help with a job if you're interested in making some more money." He spoke and I spared a look at Leon who regarded David with a calculating look.
"What's the job?"
"A couple of drop offs. Cash, cars and that sort of thing." He explained.
"How much are we talking?" I asked and he grinned.
"Ten grand a drop off."
"How many drop offs?" Leon asked.
"Four. Look I know you probably think it's risky and shit but this is an easy forty grand if you do it right."
"When?" I asked ignoring the look Leon gave me.
"Tomorrow."
"I'll let you know by midnight." I spoke and he nodded seemingly pleased with my answer.
"You still have my number?" He flirted and I only nodded in response. The guy was good looking but after being burned too often I wasn't interested. He reminded me too much of Dom and I had Ava to think of now. I wasn't about to go back down a road like that.
"Yeah I still have it." I said with a nod and he seemed happy with my answer as he sent a wink my way and a nod to Leon before he left us.
"Well I don't think he could have been any more obvious if he tried." Leon muttered and I shook my head at him.
"You seriously gunna take the job?"
"I don't know. It's a lot of money you know?" He said nothing knowing I was right.
"Can't we organize it so I take the jobs?" He asked.
"You said it yourself; he couldn't be any more obvious. I don't think he'll settle for you."
"That's what I feared, damn I hate this. I worried the entire time you were gone last time I can do that again." He stressed and I sighed.
"Le I got to, we have to get all the money we can."
"This is fucked up. I'm supposed to be looking after you not the other way around." He argued and I shot him a look.
"We look after each other." I argued back as he said nothing, just stared into the crowd as people passed.
"You're right. We just have to do what we have to do."
"I'll go find David." I said as he nodded reluctantly staying beside the car with Ava.
It didn't take me long to find him and when he saw me he shot me a grin.
"I hope you've come to tell me good news."
"I'll go the jobs. It's just the four right?"
"For him yeah but I know he has a guy that needs a driver for some big job of his. I don't think you'll be interested in that though." I didn't like the way that last one sounded so all I did was nod. If I was offered the other job I would deal with it then, right now it wasn't a problem.
"Alright well I'll do the four jobs. When and where?" I asked taking a breath.
"Tomorrow night is the first, meeting at the same place as before at seven." I nodded.
"You racing tonight?" he asked trying to make conversation.
"No we just came to check out the scene."
"We… he your boyfriend?" He asked outright and I almost felt like hesitating.
"No, we're just friends."
"Don't suppose you're free to stick around a while, get to know each other better?" He asked hopefully.
"Sorry I got to get going. Will I be seeing you tomorrow?" I asked sussing out the job some more.
"Yeah I'm working this one as well. I'll see you tomorrow night at seven." I gave him a final nod and then left to return back to Leon.
"Everything okay?" Leon asked tensely and I nodded.
"Let's get out of here. I ain't in the mood to race tonight, especially if I have to pull off a job tomorrow night."
"Alright."
"After these four jobs, I'll take the next lot." He spoke firmly and I nodded, too tired to fight with him about it.
"Okay Le." I sighed as I took a quick look in the back at Ava before leaning back in my seat and closing my eyes.
