Letty's POV
After spending Friday and Saturday night in Dom's bed I felt a little better and I promised myself I would stay in my own bed Sunday night, however 3am came and I still hadn't slept and so I managed to find myself snuggling up to Dom again and only then did I fall asleep.
I woke before Dom and quickly got up and headed for the shower before getting dressed for school. I didn't really want to go seeing as Jason and his mates would be there but I knew I couldn't let him win. So I forced myself to school with Mia and for most of the day nothing out of the ordinary happened it wasn't til the bell rang signalling school was over did I see Jason. I glared at him as he leant up against my locker.
"So Letty I don't appreciate being banned from the races so you better tell your boys to lift the ban."
"I really don't care what you don't like ass hole. And no I won't let them lift the ban." He glared at me.
"You know I can make this easy for you or very hard for you. What would you prefer?"
"I want you to leave me the hell alone." I hissed as I pushed him back as he got in my face.
"Sorry not gunna happen until you lift the ban. Things could get really ugly and I'd hate for something to happen to Mia…" He trailed off eyeing me up and down.
"Stay the fuck away from her you prick." I shouted angrily.
"Lift the ban and I'll leave you all alone." Finally fed up I punched him square in the face. He hadn't seen it coming and it knocked him down.
"You're gunna pay for that bitch." I smirked looking down at him shaking my head.
"This is pay back asshole." I said as I beat the shit out of him. I knew I'd probably be in trouble for it later but right now it felt good.
I hit him one last time before storming off towards my car. I smirked proud of myself as I left Jason laying on the floor swearing and bloody.
'Serves the prick right.' I thought angrily as I headed towards my car. Mia was standing there waiting talking to a couple of guys we were friends with.
"Hey Let, What the hell happened to your hand?" Mia asked quickly stepping towards me. I shook it off and laughed.
"I just had something to deal with." She looked at me before nodding in understanding. I nodded to Tyler and Nathan and they smiled back. Both were decent guys we had met them in grade 10 and we had been friends ever since. Tyler was just a bit taller than me and had sandy blonde hair. He was cute but he wasn't my type. Nathan on the hand was really tall and had dark brown hair he was hot to put it mildly. He was one of the popular kids in the school but he wasn't one for showing off and treated everyone with respect. I had this massive crush on him when we first met and if I was being honest it hadn't gone anywhere.
"You should have let me handle him girl, you know I always enjoy a fight." I laughed as I watched Tyler rub his hands together excitedly.
"You know I like to fight my own battles." I said as I opened the back door and dropped my bag in.
"Yeah, well you could have at least let me watch." Tyler said as Nathan laughed at the sad look on his face.
"Next time I promise." We shared a smile before we continued talking for a while before we headed our separate ways.
"Sooo…. What's happening between you and Tyler?" I asked Mia. She blushed bright red and I grinned.
"Nothing, but Letty he's amazing I just wish he felt the same." I rolled my eyes.
"Mia he does, he told me himself."
"Well why hasn't he told me yet?"
"Maybe he's waiting for you to send a signal out." I said as we drove back to the house.
"I don't wanna be the one to make the first move." She said shyly.
"Well then I guess nothing will ever come of it." I said as we pulled in. we spent the rest of the afternoon up in Mia's room talking about the boys, she was quick to get a confession out of me about Nathan.
The night rolled around faster than I would have liked and once again I found myself in Dom's bed just after mid night. He didn't seem to mind just moved over waiting for me to hop in before pulling me close.
The same continued all week through til Friday. Mia, Tyler, Nathan and I were walking out of school when Tyler asked us a question.
"So you girls got any plans for this afternoon?"
"I was gunna head to the garage and finish the car I started working on yesterday." I said.
"Ahhh cars." Nathan said dreamily and Mia laughed shoving him lightly. I grinned, funnily enough both Nathan and Tyler were both car freaks too and most of the time would come to the races but just to watch.
"But seriously I were thinking about going to the movies if you girls were interested." Tyler said looking at Mia. I smiled it was too cute.
"Um sure why not." Mia said I shared a look with Nathan and we both grinned at each other.
"Well I really do have to work today but next time I promise."
"Do you want some help Letty?" Nathan asked.
"Sure that would be great." I said trying to hold in my laughter as I saw the shocked looks on both Mia and Tyler's faces when they realised they'd be alone with one another.
"Um okay, I guess it's just you and me then." Tyler said as Mia and he left and Nathan and I got into my car.
"Man I so wanna be a fly on the wall in the cinema." Nathan laughed.
"Hell yeah man, would be so funny to watch." I said as we drove to the house. Truth was I wasn't actually going into work today so Nathan and I had decided to hang out at the house knowing the boys would be at the garage all afternoon.
We got home and headed straight for the lounge room where the Xbox was. We laid there playing for a while until Nathan started talking.
"So we got the low down on what happened at the party last week. Why were we not informed until today? Seriously girl we should have been there to scare the creep off." I laughed quietly.
"Yeah well did she tell you what happened here afterwards?" He nodded.
"Yeah fucking prick hope you laid into him real good on Monday." I grinned and nodded.
"You do remember who you're talking to here, right?" I asked playfully, he grinned and laughed.
"I know you can hold your own. But seriously how are you doing?" I thought about it for a moment.
"Yeah I feel a lot better after what I did to him on Monday, but I feel better than I did last night. Hell I might actually be able to sleep in my own room tonight." I laughed quietly.
"Who's room have you been sleeping in?" Nathan asked confused.
"Dom's." I said quietly.
"So where's he been sleeping?" I raised an eyebrow at Nathan.
"You're kidding?" He asked as we forgot about the game.
"What?" I asked self-conscious.
"Let, Dom seriously?" I frowned.
"Nothing happened, if that's what you're getting at."
"I should hope not."
"Then what's the problem?" I asked. He sighed and fiddled with the controller for a few minutes before answering.
"Don't freak out okay? This doesn't have to change anything but I need to tell you." I nodded and waited for him to speak again.
"Well thing is I really like you Letty. If you don't feel the same that's fine nothing has to change between us, but I just needed to tell you." He said as we stared at each other for a few minutes.
"It's kinda bad timing." I said quietly and I felt bad when he looked away.
"Yeah I know, listen forget it yeah?"
"Look I never said I didn't feel the same, but let's just take it slow okay? I don't want this to ruin our friendship." I said slowly. He grinned and I couldn't help but grinned back.
"So are you busy tomorrow?" I shook my head.
"You wanna go to the movies? That new action film starts tomorrow."
"Sure, I so want to see that movie." I grinned and he grinned back.
"So let's make a deal." I nodded.
"No more sleeping in Dom's bed, if you need anything I don't care what time of night it is I want you to ring me okay?" I bit my lip.
"Okay I promise." He nodded and we turned back to the game playing for a while longer before he left.
I walked him to the door and I stood silent for a moment thinking of what to say.
"See you tomorrow yeah?" I asked. He nodded before stepping closer and leaning down to kiss me. I stood shocked for a moment before kissing him back. It didn't last long and it was an innocent kiss but I liked it.
"Hope that wasn't rushing it?" he asked. I shook my head.
"Good." He kissed me one last time before heading. I watched him drive away before I walked back inside grinning widely. I packed up the lounge room and headed up to Mia's room to wait for her to come home.
I didn't have to wait long because twenty minutes later she came through the door. She let out a squeal as she saw me sitting on the bed and jumped onto it. I laughed as I saw her goofy looking face and hoped I didn't look like that.
"Okay you were right, Tyler asked me out." I grinned and motioned for her to continue.
"so we were in the movie and about half way through he turned around and kissed me. Letty it was the best feeling ever. I think we made out for the rest of the movie cos I don't remember much of it." We laughed and talked for a while longer before I told her about Nathan and I.
"Letty this is great. Are you okay though?" I nodded.
"Yeah I am surprisingly, I trust Nathan and I really like him Mia. I know he won't hurt me." I explained. She nodded in understanding and we went down to start dinner before the boys came home.
Dom's POV
It had been a week since the incident and every night Letty had ended up in my bed, I was getting worried but I never said anything I just made room for her and held her close. I was beginning to get used to her sleeping in bed with me and I found myself staying awake until she came in.
Vince had asked me what was going on and I told him I didn't know but he knew I what my feelings were and he knew I probably wouldn't put a stop to it.
"Dom, when was the last time you got some action?" I frowned at Vince realising where this was going.
"I honestly can't remember V."
"Exactly, you like her Dom so stop stuffing around and just tell her." I heard Leon grunt in agreement as he worked under the car. I looked down at his legs before raising an eyebrow at Jesse who was also nodding in agreement.
"She is in no state for me to tell her my feelings." I said as I started to pack up what I had been working on.
"Man just tell her let her decide whether she's ready or not."
"Dom man she's been a little better ever since she beat the prick up." I sighed and nodded. That was true I think she had gotten most of her anger and hurt out then.
"Yeah alright, I'll talk to her tonight." I said as we left the garage and drove home.
We walked in and found dinner ready with Mia serving it out. They seemed to be in a good mood especially Letty she was laughing and smiling again which was something I hadn't seen in a while.
"What's got you two in a good mood?" Vince asked as we sat down for dinner. Letty immediately sat next to me and I smiled at her.
"No reason." Mia said.
"Bull." I said as I caught the secret look between Letty and Mia.
"Back off Dom and eat your dinner." Mia said as she handed me my plate. I raised an eyebrow at Vince who was trying not to laugh as I sat there shocked but I shook my head and let it go.
We sat around in the lounge taking turns at the Xbox for an hour or two before Letty headed up to bed. We all said good night and I could feel the guys staring at me but I shook my head.
I went to bed an hour later but I couldn't fall asleep. I frowned noticing the time, Letty was usually in by now. I sighed and dosed on and off for the rest of the night waiting for Letty but she never came in.
It more or less continued like that for the rest of the week. Both Mia and Letty had been very vague about school and we're always going out after work or school. Something was definitely up and I intended to find out what it was.
An entire week had gone by and I was completely exhausted having not slept at all. My only focus was why Letty hadn't been coming in. She had her head down on the kitchen table when I walked in, everyone else was chatting around her.
"Dude, have you slept at all this week brother?" Vince asked as I sat down in a chair.
"You think you guys can cover the work load today?" I asked ignoring his question. And by the smirks on their faces I knew exactly what they were thinking.
"Sure, heading back to bed brother." I glared at Leon and Jesse who were close to laughing. I looked around and noticed Mia had gone to get ready and Letty was actually asleep at the kitchen table.
"She hasn't been coming in. I guess I've gotten toi use to her being there I haven't slept." I said quietly as I shot them all looks.
"Neither has she by the looks of things." Vince said calming down.
"Really? How can you tell?" I asked sarcastically.
"Okay…we'll be going to work now." Jesse said as the three of them practically ran out of the room. I shook my head as I heard their engines rev before they drove off. I sighed tiredly and looked over at Letty. There was no way she would be able to go to school. Getting up I picked her up gently and walked upstairs with her. I stood at my door thinking but decided against it and placed her in her room again. I tucked her in before walking out and falling into my own bed and it wasn't long before I too fell asleep.
It was about mid-day when I heard my door open and I looked up sleepily. Letty stood at the door for a second before quickly crawling into bed with me. I lay back down and wrapped my arms around her as she cuddled up to me.
"How come you haven't been coming in of a night anymore?" I asked quietly.
"I wanted to see if I could do it alone without having to run to you. Besides I spent most of the nights on the phone." She said. I frowned who could she have possible spent the nights on the phone with.
"With who?" I asked.
"Nathan." I frowned.
"Your friend Nathan?" She sighed and looked up at me.
"Well he's not so much a friend anymore…" she trailed off. I scowled and tried to calm myself down.
"He wanted me to ring him instead of having to come in here with you."
"You're dating him? After everything that just happened?" I asked angrily.
"I trust Nathan we've been friends for three years." She said pleadingly.
"Well right now I don't trust any guys around you." I said quietly.
"Mia's dating Tyler." I groaned.
"Great, just wonderful. Let's talk about this later okay? And just a heads up neither of them are ever staying the night."
"You are aware that we are eighteen Dom."
"My house, my rules." I ground out looking down at Letty. I watched as she rolled her eyes before closing her eyes.
"So if you're supposedly with him, why are you in here with me now? You haven't come to me in a week." I asked quietly.
"Go to sleep Dom." I smiled at that. I was allowed an ego boost every now and again.
'Maybe she does feel the same and just doesn't know it yet.' I thought to myself before falling asleep.
