Dom's POV
I was tense as I drove, one because Letty's words from this morning still rang loudly in my head. Past experience… what the hell did that mean? Had she dated before? The whole time I had known her I had never seen her with anyone. It was really bugging me and I decided to ask her about it in one of our 'limited' texts to each other. I rolled my eyes agitated at the thought. The second was dad's words before we left. It didn't matter how many times I had told him that it wasn't like that he still didn't seem to listen. I glanced nervously at the clock and saw five minutes had passed already.
"Dom."
"Yeah?"
"Given the traffic you have thirty minutes then you better have your arse in the garage." I frowned at dad.
"Your giving me another time limit?" I asked incredulously.
"Yes." He said simply.
"Why? I'm dropping them off at school, Mia is in the car dad."
"I know." I stared at him in disbelief.
"What do you think I'm going to do drop Mia off and then sneak off with Letty?" He looked amused but didn't say anything and I realized that's exactly what he thought I was going to do.
"Dad nothing is happening between Letty and I in that way I don't know how many times I have to say it. Why are you being so uptight about this?" I asked tensely. I was a little mad that my dad had no trust in me.
"I trust you Dom-"
"No you don't." I snapped and he looked at me warningly.
"Don't take that tone with me." He snapped back.
"I do trust you I'm just giving you a time limit because I need you at work on time." He said after I was silent for a while.
"We both know that's a lie." I said darkly. He appraised me for a moment and sighed.
"Okay I'm worried you're going to use Letty but can you blame me? You have a history."
"No but that's not the case now." I said between clenched teeth as I clenched my hands into fists.
"On one hand I know that, I've seen it and you showed it just before when you gave her your keys. You don't give anyone your keys… not even me but on another I can't help but worry. You're older and A LOT more experienced than her, I was a teenage boy once Dominic." I stared at him squarely.
"Letty's different."
"I know that's part of the reason it scares me."
"Then don't you think because of that reason I don't want to jeopardize things by jumping into bed with her? She's not ready dad and I respect that and to be honest I don't think I'm ready to sleep with her." I knew I was getting really agitated but I couldn't help it. I thought he was cool with Letty and I.
"But you did." He grinned enjoying his joke as I took a deep breath before I lost my temper.
"You know what I mean. We did NOTHING that night, I kissed her goodnight and we fell asleep. I woke an hour before Maria was due home, kissed her goodbye and left. I didn't even wake her up." I growled slowly and darkly as he nodded.
"Seriously dad what more do you want me to say? WE HAVE DONE NOTHING!" I said finally snapping. He looked a little taken aback but recovered soon enough.
"I believe you, the time limit still applies though." He said calmly.
"Is this going to be an on-going thing? You giving me a time limit whenever her and I might be alone together? Not sure how that's going to work for you since you've told us we can sleep in the same bed together. What are you going to do set the alarm for every hour and come in to check?" His lips twitched in amusement but shook his head.
"Only when I think it's necessary."
"Awesome dad thanks for the vote of confidence." I snorted shaking my head as I threw my hands up in the air.
"I was joking about the alarm, relax. I don't think I've ever seen you this riled up." He said surprised as he watched me and I growled shaking my head.
"I'm going to drop them off at school." I said as I turned to leave.
"Oh before I forget try and keep the messaging to a minimum today please. Letty is at school remember?" I sent a death glare at the wall I was facing but said nothing as I stormed out of the house. The last thing I heard was a final warning of 'thirty minutes' being shouted from the kitchen.
I got in the car and slammed the door a little louder then I meant to. Letty handed over the keys and I nearly had half a mind to ask her to drive so I could calm down. Taking them off her though I started the car and gripped the wheel tightly. I caught her frown and softened a little shaking my head as I glanced in the mirror seeing Mia watching us with interest.
"Tell you later." I mouthed to her and she looked worried but nodded when she too realized Mia was listening.
I was brooding as I drove, I felt like I was fifteen again and under all of dad's rules. I knew dating Letty would have its flaws especially in the rule department, that something I had accepted but I didn't think my dad would think so little of me. Was I really that bad?
I didn't know what to think about Letty's words either, she had told me the other day how far she had been and to be honest I thought that was with me because what she had is exactly what we had done, I never stopped to think it could have been someone else she was talking about. Obviously I was wrong. I had meant my words when I had told her I wouldn't leave if she wasn't ready. If it was some girl that I was only interested in because of sex then as much as I hated to say it yes I probably would have left but this wasn't some girl it was Letty and I really did have genuine feelings for her. Feelings that scared the shit out of me.
We got half way to the school before I had to pull over and stop causing Letty and Mia to look at me strangely. I looked at Letty she looked just as preoccupied as I felt and I wondered if it was a good idea to ask her to drive.
"You up to driving?" I asked quietly and she frowned but nodded and I sighed in relief as I got out of the car and walked around to the other side just as Letty stepped out.
"Are you okay?" she asked worriedly and I smiled slightly at her concern stroking her cheek as I placed a kiss on her head.
"My mind is elsewhere." I said quietly.
"I know the feeling."
"Are you sure you're okay to drive? I can manage if you can't." I asked concerned but she smiled and nodded.
"It'll give me something else to think about." I kissed her lightly on the lips before I moved out of her way as she walked around to the driver's side.
"Why did you switch?" Mia asked curious as we got back in and Letty pulled back onto the road.
"I couldn't concentrate." I said honestly and I saw the brief look Letty sent me before she flicked her eyes back to the road. I carefully placed my hand on her upper thigh and left it there still. She sent me another look but this time it was amused. Rolling my eyes at her I didn't move my hand I kept it still and she didn't say anything nor did she move it.
"You're not going to kill us are you Letty?" She asked jokingly but Letty sent her a glare through the mirror.
"Mia since I'm the one driving I would have no issues with kicking you out of the car and making you walk." I laughed at her words and Mia poked her tongue out at Letty.
"Doubting my driving skills." Letty muttered and I squeezed her leg gently which made her relax though again she glanced at me warily but I shook my head letting her know I wasn't going to do anything.
I glanced at the clock on the dash board and tensed a little as I saw that ten minutes had now passed but as I looked back up I saw we were at the school. Letty shut off the engine and we all got out. I nodded to a few people I knew and I saw a couple of girls throw a dirty look behind me, no doubt directing it at Letty. I smiled in thanks at Letty as she walked up to me handing me my keys.
"Let I'm going to go and grab stuff from my locker, I'll meet you there?" Letty nodded and I waved goodbye to Mia as I watched her run off into the school grounds.
"You going to be okay to drive back papa?" I smiled fondly at the nickname. At first I wasn't keen on it but now I liked it. A lot.
"Should be, thank you." I said softly as I turned back to Letty leaning down to kiss her softly.
"What happened?" I sighed and wrapped an arm around her waist dropping a kiss on her head.
"I'll tell you later."
"That bad?" She asked.
"I'm on a time limit." I mumbled and she looked up at me surprised.
"Another?"
"So it would seem." I said quietly. Flicking my eyes over the school grounds I caught sight of Michelle who was staring over at us and I frowned pulling Letty a little closer.
"Has she been giving you any trouble?" I asked and Letty looked up at me confused.
"Who?"
"Michelle." She followed my gaze to where Michelle and her 'friends' were and shook her head.
"No but I'm sure today will be different." I frowned at that.
"Text me if she does, please." I added and she eyed me for a moment.
"Letty please." I said controlled knowing my temper was already short and she nodded.
"Okay."
"Thank you. I better go, show dad I can be back on time." I muttered angrily. Her hands trailed down my arm lightly and I found my anger seeping away at her innocent gesture.
"Okay I'll text you later." The anger surged back at her words but not at her just in remembrance of dad's final words.
"Actually I've been told to keep that to a minimum. Pretty much only on your lunch breaks i'd say." I said as I looked down at her. She looked shocked and I could tell she was a little upset at the thought. I felt her pain, today was going to go slowly and painfully.
"You're kidding?"
"Oh baby I wish I was." I said sadly and she sagged against me as I bent to kiss her head.
"That's not fair." She said quietly and I couldn't help but agree with her. I knew why dad had done it, I did understand that she was meant to be focusing on school but the immature part of me didn't care.
"I know baby, I understand why but… I don't think It's fair either." Hearing the first warning bell I sighed and hugged her tight.
"I better go baby and you need to go meet up with Mia." I brushed my lips against her temple softly.
"I don't want to go to school now." She muttered and I smiled laughing a little.
"I know, I don't want you to go either."
"I'll text you on my lunch break, if I last that long." She said and I smiled.
"I'll be looking forward to it, believe me baby i'll need it if I have to last till this afternoon." I leant down as she reached up as our lips met briefly for a moment before our eyes met an unspoken agreement running between us as we leant in again this time I deepened the kiss as her mouth parted allowing my tongue access.
We continued for a couple of minutes completely oblivious to the world around us before we pulled away. I peck her lightly a couple of times before letting her go completely, my arms already feeling empty.
"Bye baby." I said as she smiled and I watched as she walked off. I glanced around and noticed a few senior girls that were in the race crowd staring at me. Most of them sending me sexual looks but I ignored them, for once since I hit my teens they didn't do anything for me, in a way that shocked me a little but in a good way.
Now if it were Letty giving me a look like that... Mmm the things it would do to me. I caught their stunned looks as I slid back into my car and though I was shocked at my own reaction I couldn't help but smirk to myself.
That's right bitches I'm no longer interested.
