Dom's POV
Letty was very quiet when she came into work and I noticed Maria and dad sneak off to the office. I glanced at her unsure of what to do as she walked out the back. Glancing back at the office I noted the door shut.
"Go I'll cover for you." Vince said with a roll of his eyes.
"Thanks V."
"Just go see your girl." I took his advice with one more look to the office before walking to the back room. The door was shut so I hesitated a moment before I opened it stepping in quickly before shutting the door silently. Man if I got caught dad would have my balls for this.
"Dom." I heard a hiss behind me and I turned quickly catching a brief glimpse of her bra and her stomach as she quickly tugged her shirt over her head looking in my direction. I couldn't help but stare as I took her in, she was wearing a short tank top and a pair of what I thought were really really short shorts then I noticed she had a pair of short sitting next to her and my eyes widened when I realized they were her panties. Holy shit she looked hot.
"Shit sorry I didn't realize you were getting changed." I said awkwardly looking around after I realized I was staring at her. She didn't say anything and I glanced at her wondering how she was going to react.
"Are you trying to get us killed?" she asked as she reached for her shorts.
"Uh no, sorry I didn't think. V said he'd cover but I'll be quick. I just wanted to make sure you're okay." I said as I looked away again.
"Relax you can look, I'm sure it's nothing you've never seen before." I sighed as I turned back to her.
"Let don't okay? I have enough of that coming from dad I don't need it from you too." I said tiredly as rubbed the back of my neck watching her.
"You're right I'm sorry, I'm just over being poked and prodded." She said as she pulled her pants on.
"Yeah I know that feeling." I said quietly and she tried to hide her smile as she stepped towards me.
"Mum said you didn't get out of it easy."
"Mmmm thanks to her." She looked at me questioningly.
"It was her idea." I supplied and she laughed a little. Reaching out I pulled her to me and wrapped my arms around her waist as hers rested on my arms.
"I spoke to mum about the time limits." I looked at her intrigued.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah she's gunna talk to Tony."
"Well I guess I can hope. I know the rules by the way I'll tell you tonight." I said quietly and she nodded.
"So where exactly were you today?" I asked her and she made a face.
"Take a guess."
"I have I just don't understand why." I said quietly.
"Birth control." She said quietly looking at me for a brief moment before looking away.
"Oh." I blinked stupidly. Our parents were getting a little ahead of themselves weren't they? We'd been dating less than a week.
"At least I don't have to worry about it later on." She mumbled.
"I guess." I agreed slightly. I noticed she stayed silent and I pressed a kiss to her head softly before speaking.
"You okay?" I asked.
"I'm fine." I stayed silent and didn't say anything but I knew she was lying. She was being really quiet and I thought back to dad's words. Is this what he had meant about her not being herself? I had never seen her like this.
"Okay I better go back out." I said softly as I gave her a squeeze before I started to withdraw from her but her hands on my arms stopped me. Looking down at her confused I watched as she used my arms to support herself as she leant up and when I realized what she was doing I smiled bending down to meet her in a kiss. It was a soft gentle kiss but it was exactly what I needed to turn my bad day into a good one. She deepened it running her tongue along my lips and I opened them letting her tongue enter quietly groaning as it touched mine. I held her face between my hands as we kissed and her hands rested on my chest. Knowing I had to leave I pulled back laughing quietly as she mewed and tried to move with me.
"I'm sorry baby I have to go." I planted one last kiss on her lips before I let her go completely carefully stepping out and going back to work.
"Lucky." Vince said with a grin and I sent him one back.
"Thanks V."
"They haven't come out yet so you're in the clear." Letty came out not long after dressed in her coveralls.
"Hey Let." Vince greeted and she nodded back sending him a smile but I noticed how fake it looked.
"Hey V." She said as she came to stand between us. She leant against my side and I took the chance and moved her slightly so she was in front of me and I hugged her from behind. Letty stayed silent and I couldn't help but worry.
"Glad to see you in a better mood now that's she's here." Vince said smiling slightly at me. I gave him a look as if to say you-know-partly-why-I'm-in-a-bad-mood to which he gave me a grim smile. Letty glanced up at me and I looked down at her briefly.
"I'll explain later."
"That's what you said this morning." She said frowning and I nodded in agreement.
"I know, I promise I'll explain tonight." While our parents were busy we stood around and talked. Letty spoke very little and made no sign of moving from my side so I stayed the way we were with my arms wrapped around her waist as she leaned back against my chest.
"Nice to see you all working so hard." We looked over at my dad and Maria as they came out of the office and I saw how annoyed he looked. I let go of Letty thinking that was what was wrong but he was still frowning when he turned to me.
"Revision of the rules, you can text during work and school as long as it's not excessively like it was all day and no more time limits." He muttered glaring at Maria who was just grinning amused at his tone.
"Thanks dad." I said quietly.
"Don't thank me thank Maria." He grunted. I glanced at Maria and she smiled and sent me and Letty a wink. Well at least one person trusted me.
"Right I have to go and get ready for work. See you tomorrow sweetheart. Bye Dom, Vince." She said brightly before turning to my dad.
"Goodbye Tony…" She teased and Letty, Vince and I hid our laughs as we watched dad grumble and follow her out of the garage muttering something about women.
"We should start working, Maria's not here to save us when he gets back." I said as I dropped a kiss to Letty's head.
"Agreed." Letty said and Vince nodded as we started work on our assigned cars.
The end of the day came quickly because we were so busy. I hadn't realized just how many cars we actually had and needed doing fast. Maybe texting all day wasn't a good thing.
Vince ended up going straight home after work instead of coming back for dinner, which was unusual but he said he had family plans so I didn't argue. Letty ended up riding with me and I made sure to stay in dad's line of sight on the way home just to prove a point but he was still in a crabby mood.
"Hey Let you know that guy you're friends with?" I said on the way home.
"Who? Jesse or Leon?" I frowned I didn't know who was who.
"Uh the one in your class?" I said looking at her briefly and she nodded.
"Leon, yeah. What about him?"
"You reckon he'd be interested in working at the garage? I have to run it by dad but in all honesty we kind of need another person or two."
"Yeah he'd probably be interested, Jesse is pretty good with cars as well."
"He's Mia's age though right?"
"Well yeah." I nodded.
"So after school like you." I added.
"But so would Leon."
"Maybe." I said and she looked at me curiously.
"What you think he'd quit to work with you guys?"
"I don't know as I said I have to run it past dad and I want to get to know him a bit first but he looks like a decent guy."
"Yeah he is. He and I have gotten on pretty well." I glanced at Letty as she said that.
"I've noticed." I said darkly. It wasn't that I didn't like the guy as I said I didn't know him but I wasn't stupid almost every guy had begun to notice Letty and I wasn't a fan of that.
"Are you jealous Dom?" She asked surprised and I looked at her before turning my eyes back to the road.
"Do I have a reason to be?" I asked nervously.
"No not at all, he's a friend nothing more." I smiled at her words.
"Good I'm glad." I said as I pulled up to the house turning off the engine.
Mia was sitting in the lounge room when we walked in watching TV. Letty flopped down next to her and I was left sitting by myself. I pouted silently at Letty and she shrugged leaving me frowning. Turning to the TV I noticed it was some girly show so I got back up and went to find dad who was in the kitchen.
"Hey dad?" I asked cautiously.
"Yeah?" He sighed as he sat at the table.
"Have you thought about hiring more help at the garage?" He looked surprised by the question.
"I have considered it, why?"
"Well Letty has a friend at school I thought might be interested."
"Another for after school?" he asked frowning.
"Well maybe, he might be interested in working through the day. I don't know it's just a thought." I shrugged.
"Well have a talk to him and then tell him to come and see me if he's interested." I nodded and walked over to the fridge pulling out the orange juice before I grabbed a cup.
"Dom?"
"Yeah dad?" I said as I turned to him.
"I'm sorry about this morning but I do worry."
"I know, I'm sorry too. I'm not going to hurt her dad."
"Yeah I know. Forget about the time limit, it was pretty stupid huh?" He said grinning sheepishly and I grinned back at him.
"Yeah dad just a little." I nodded and he sighed.
"Just make sure the texting doesn't interfere with work too much or Letty's school work okay?"
"Sure dad, you're right texting all day long isn't exactly a good thing." I said honestly and he nodded.
"Glad to hear it. So when are you and I going to work on this Charger?" He asked changing the subject and I grinned.
"What about now?" I asked excitedly and he nodded picking up his beer as we walked outside to the back shed.
"Wow." I said as we stood taking her in. She was a really nice car but as dad she did need work done before she was up to racing standard.
"Beauty isn't she?"
"Yeah. Can I drive her?" I joked and he sent me a playful glare.
"Hell no. Come on we'll start on the engine."
It would have been a couple of hours later when Mia came out and told us dinner was ready. Dad and I reluctantly pulled ourselves away from the car and locked up the garage again.
"Where's Letty?" I asked realizing she wasn't here."
"She went home for a bit, said she needed to get a change of clothes for school tomorrow. She be back now though." Mia said as she sat down. Looking at dad silently for permission he nodded wearily.
"I won't be long I promise." I said quietly as I walked out of the house and down the street. I knocked on the door softly and I heard Letty say it was open. Letting myself in I walked upstairs and stood leaning against her door frame as I watched her.
"You know it's a bad idea to leave the door unlocked when you're on your own and you should probably check who is at the door before you tell someone to come in." I told her sternly.
"I knew it was you, I saw you walking down the street." She said as she rolled her eyes at me.
"That doesn't explain my first point."
"What are you doing here?" she asked ignoring my statement.
"Dinner's ready, I came to get you." I said as I walked into the room and sat on her bed watching as she packed a small bag.
"Thanks." I frowned she hadn't sent much to me since the car ride home although I was out in the shed for a good time.
"You need any help?" I offered but shook her head.
"I'm finished but thank you." she said as she zipped up her bag.
"You still want to talk after dinner?" I asked quietly looking at her for a reaction.
"Yeah, is that still okay?" I stared at her and nodded slightly.
"Are we okay though? You're not having second thoughts are you?" I asked quietly and she shook her head.
"No but I do want to talk we haven't exactly had a lot of time."
"Okay. Are you ready?" I asked as I took her bag and put it on my shoulder heading for the door.
"Tony's going to be having a heart attack." She said laughing quietly as we walked back through the house.
"Probably." I agreed smiling as I waited for Letty to lock up before we continued down the street. I took her hand in my free one and she smiled up at me slightly.
Dad didn't say anything as we walked in hand in hand he just had a knowing look on his face which had meant he had been spying. I glanced subtly at Mia and she gave a little nod before she got ready to say grace.
"Dom you can say grace tonight." I held in my sigh and just sucked it up as I said a short prayer before we started eating.
Mia and dad cleaned up after dinner leaving Letty and I to do what we wanted. I glanced down at Letty as we left the kitchen and she gave me a small which I took to mean we had to talk. Leading her up to my room I flicked the light on and left the door open like I was meant to as I spread out on my stomach on my bed looking up at her as she sat down next to me.
"What's wrong baby?" I asked softly and she looked down at me.
"I don't know… well I do I just don't know why it's a problem." She said quietly.
"Tell me. Please." I said softly as I nudged her arm with my head. I closed my eyes briefly as she ran her hand I nudged back and forth over my head. Despite how good it felt I opened my eyes and gazed at her questioningly.
Letty's POV
'Oh man how did I say this?' I thought to myself.
"Don't you think this is all happening a bit fast?" I said cautiously as I looked at him. I felt him tense a little but I didn't stop my hand from running through his hair.
"What do you mean?" His voice was slightly guarded and I sighed.
"Like…this. Sleeping in the same bed together the first week we start dating. Don't get me wrong I like it but…"
"You're scared." He said surprised realizing what I was trying to say and I bit my lip and nodded.
"I guess that's one way of putting it, yeah."
"Of what Let?" I smiled slightly at the sound of his voice it was so soft even though his voice was deep.
"It's just this is all so new to me and so much has happened in the last twenty four hours I just don't know what to think. I wasn't… I wasn't expecting all this. I got carted off to the fucking doctors to be put on birth control after a few days of dating. Surely that's not normal?" I asked and he smiled slightly shaking his head.
"No not to my knowledge but I feel your pain."
"Don't take this the wrong way I like sleeping next to you I just… uh it's all too fast." I groaned and slumped down onto the bed next to Dom. I felt his hand on my stomach rubbing softly and I sighed and relaxed.
"Baby if you prefer to stay with Mia just tell me, I won't be mad. I'm not going to lie I would love for you to stay with me but if you don't want to or would feel better putting some space between us just say so. I don't want to force you into anything and I don't want you to feel like you're being backed into a corner." He said softly and I smiled slightly at him as I turned to face him letting him gently pull me closer.
"I don't know what I want." I whispered and he kissed me softly.
"Is that all that's worrying you?" he asked and I looked at him and shook my head.
"Michelle and I exchanged words today, along with two of her friends." I admitted and he frowned.
"What happened?" sighing I told him quietly and he shook his head angrily.
"Baby don't listen to them, that's not the case at all. Let you mean a lot to me I couldn't do that to you."
"A part of me knows that but the other half's still afraid." I said honestly and he shook his head.
"Baby trust me I'm not going anywhere okay?"
"Even if I don't give it up?" I asked timidly and he frowned.
"Yes, I'm not with you just for sex Letty. What did you mean by past experience this morning?" He asked and I sighed.
"When I was in the D.R I met this guy and we saw each other for a bit. He seemed really nice we had a lot of fun, we didn't do very much but he didn't seem to care. Then one day he wanted to go further and I told him I wasn't ready and he… he dumped me for it. I don't want that to happen again." I whispered.
"Let I promise you I won't be like that. To be completely honest with you I don't think I'm ready to sleep with you either. One I'm too scared that I'll fuck this all up and two… don't take this the wrong way okay?" He said and I nodded.
"I don't particularly like having sex with virgins. I feel like an arse after it."
"Oh. Are you going to be like that with me?" I asked curious and he looked at me intently.
"Possibly." He admitted.
"But I'd be willing."
"It wouldn't really matter Let, I don't like the thought of having to hurt you." I frowned.
"So it does really hurt?" I asked timidly and he gave me a small smile.
"Personally I wouldn't know…" He joked quietly before he turned serious.
"But yeah from my point of view and limited experience it does."
"Oh." I said quietly.
"When we get to that point I promise I'll do everything I can to make it hurt less okay baby." He said softly and I gave him a small smile.
"Thank you." we were silent for a moment as we watched each other.
"Oh yeah I should probably tell you that I may have hinted to Tran I wasn't a virgin because they were talking shit." I said awkwardly and he raised an eyebrow.
"Okay. What else were they saying?"
"That you'd go back to her because I wouldn't be good enough."
"Like hell." He muttered and I laughed a little.
"Yeah I told her you called her a bitch." I grinned and he grinned back.
"I bet that went down well." I laughed.
"Not really."
"She'll get over it. There's no way I'd go back to her, besides Vince would kick my arse if I did."
"So would your dad." I agreed and he nodded.
"So what happened this morning?" I asked.
"Oh that." He started with a sigh before telling me everything.
"Oh. So that's why he was so annoyed at mum because she got him to change it?"
"Looks that way."
"Well that's a good thing I guess."
"Yeah, and I know the rules." He said as he started ticking them off one by one.
"That's not many really is it?" I asked and he thought about it.
"No I guess not."
"So when mum's roster changes it'll only be twice a week I get to stay with you?" I asked and he nodded. I could tell he was trying to hide his disappointment but I saw it.
"Yeah."
"Well I guess if that's the case I'll stay with you until then."
"Let you don't have to." He said seriously and I nodded.
"I know but since it'll be changing soon I might as well use the time and if I don't feel like staying with one night I can always change for that night right?" I asked looking at him and he nodded.
"Of course." He said softly. Smiling I leant forward and kissed him gently.
"So when do you get your results?" I asked shyly and he laughed a little awkwardly.
"Um tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it'll be fine but I'm glad I did get tested. I'd hate to make you sick." I nodded and snuggled up to him closer.
"What about you? What did you get?" he asked placing a kiss on my head.
"The shot, i have to have it every three months. She was so rough." I pouted and I felt him smile against my hair.
"Poor baby, I'll kiss it better for you." I laughed at his words and looked up into his face.
"I'm too comfy to move right now." He grinned and pecked me on the lips.
"I'm glad, I'm comfy too."
"I can't wait for the weekend." I said sighing.
"Have you got plans?" He asked curiously.
"No not really just work on Saturday. I just meant no school." I grinned.
"Are you free Saturday night after work?" He asked and I noticed he seemed nervous.
"Yeah I guess just homework…why?" I asked looking at him questioningly.
"I was thinking we could go the movies, it'll just be the two of us." He said quietly and I was surprised.
"What? We don't have to if you don't want to." He said quickly but I shook her head.
"No I want to go I just… never pictured you be one for dates. I was never expecting to be… Never mind. Yes I'll go to the movies with you." I tripped over my words.
"I told you you're different. I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do Let, if you want to do something else we can do something else it's up to you." He said seriously and I nodded.
"No the movies is perfect, it's just not something I was expecting."
"Well expect it, it's probably the only chance we get to be alone together and I like being able to spend time with you." He said softly.
"You're probably right. Thank you." I said as I leant up and kissed him softly. He looked at me surprised.
"For what?"
"For being understanding and patient." I said shyly and he smiled running his hand through my hair.
"You don't need to thank me for that Let, you mean a lot to me." He said and my heart leapt at his words.
"You mean a lot to me too." I said and he smiled. Looking at the clock on the side table I saw it was still only early.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Wait do you have homework?" he asked and I gave him a look.
"Right sorry I forgot you weren't at school." I smiled and pecked his lips moving back to pick a movie but he tightened his arms around me.
"What?" I asked when I realized he wasn't about to let me up.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" He teased leaning in close to me.
"No" I grinned as I played along with his game.
"Wrong answer." He growled playfully as he kissed me. I kissed him back immediately as I opened my mouth instantly so he could deepen the kiss. I felt his smile a few seconds before his tongue snaked in and glided against mine. I moaned quietly and his hand fisted in my hair holding me to him.
"Much better." He mumbled as we pulled away from each other and I laughed softly.
"Can we watch a movie now?" I asked and he grinned.
"I don't know can we?" He asked as he leant in for another kiss.
"Dom." I laughed against his lips as he placed kisses repeatedly on my lips before he growled playfully dragging me in for another deep kiss which I was happy to surrender to.
Letty was very quiet when she came into work and I noticed Maria and dad sneak off to the office. I glanced at her unsure of what to do as she walked out the back. Glancing back at the office I noted the door shut.
"Go I'll cover for you." Vince said with a roll of his eyes.

"Uh no, sorry I didn't think. V said he'd cover but I'll be quick. I just wanted to make sure you're okay." I said as I looked away again.
"Relax you can look, I'm sure it's nothing you've never seen before." I sighed as I turned back to her.
"Let don't okay? I have enough of that coming from dad I don't need it from you too." I said tiredly as rubbed the back of my neck watching her.
"You're right I'm sorry, I'm just over being poked and prodded." She said as she pulled her pants on.
"Yeah I know that feeling." I said quietly and she tried to hide her smile as she stepped towards me.

"Well Letty has a friend at school I thought might be interested."
"Another for after school?" he asked frowning.
"Well maybe, he might be interested in working through the day. I don't know it's just a thought." I shrugged.
"Well have a talk to him and then tell him to come and see me if he's interested." I nodded and walked over to the fridge pulling out the orange juice before I grabbed a cup.
"Dom?"
"Yeah dad?" I said as I turned to him.
"I'm sorry about this morning but I do worry."
"I know, I'm sorry too. I'm not going to hurt her dad."
"Yeah I know. Forget about the time limit, it was pretty stupid huh?" He said grinning sheepishly and I grinned back at him.
"Yeah dad just a little." I nodded and he sighed.
"Just make sure the texting doesn't interfere with work too much or Letty's school work okay?"
"Sure dad, you're right texting all day long isn't exactly a good thing." I said honestly and he nodded.
"Glad to hear it. So when are you and I going to work on this Charger?" He asked changing the subject and I grinned.
"What about now?" I asked excitedly and he nodded picking up his beer as we walked outside to the back shed.
"Wow." I said as we stood taking her in. She was a really nice car but as dad she did need work done before she was up to racing standard.
"Beauty isn't she?"
"Yeah. Can I drive her?" I joked and he sent me a playful glare.
"Hell no. Come on we'll start on the engine."
It would have been a couple of hours later when Mia came out and told us dinner was ready. Dad and I reluctantly pulled ourselves away from the car and locked up the garage again.
"Where's Letty?" I asked realizing she wasn't here."
"She went home for a bit, said she needed to get a change of clothes for school tomorrow. She be back now though." Mia said as she sat down. Looking at dad silently for permission he nodded wearily.
"I won't be long I promise." I said quietly as I walked out of the house and down the street. I knocked on the door softly and I heard Letty say it was open. Letting myself in I walked upstairs and stood leaning against her door frame as I watched her.
"You know it's a bad idea to leave the door unlocked when you're on your own and you should probably check who is at the door before you tell someone to come in." I told her sternly.
"I knew it was you, I saw you walking down the street." She said as she rolled her eyes at me.
"That doesn't explain my first point."
"What are you doing here?" she asked ignoring my statement.
"Dinner's ready, I came to get you." I said as I walked into the room and sat on her bed watching as she packed a small bag.
"Thanks." I frowned she hadn't sent much to me since the car ride home although I was out in the shed for a good time.
"You need any help?" I offered but shook her head.
"I'm finished but thank you." she said as she zipped up her bag.
"You still want to talk after dinner?" I asked quietly looking at her for a reaction.
"Yeah, is that still okay?" I stared at her and nodded slightly.
"Are we okay though? You're not having second thoughts are you?" I asked quietly and she shook her head.
"No but I do want to talk we haven't exactly had a lot of time."
"Okay. Are you ready?" I asked as I took her bag and put it on my shoulder heading for the door.
"Tony's going to be having a heart attack." She said laughing quietly as we walked back through the house.
"Probably." I agreed smiling as I waited for Letty to lock up before we continued down the street. I took her hand in my free one and she smiled up at me slightly.
Dad didn't say anything as we walked in hand in hand he just had a knowing look on his face which had meant he had been spying. I glanced subtly at Mia and she gave a little nod before she got ready to say grace.
"Dom you can say grace tonight." I held in my sigh and just sucked it up as I said a short prayer before we started eating.
Mia and dad cleaned up after dinner leaving Letty and I to do what we wanted. I glanced down at Letty as we left the kitchen and she gave me a small which I took to mean we had to talk. Leading her up to my room I flicked the light on and left the door open like I was meant to as I spread out on my stomach on my bed looking up at her as she sat down next to me.
"What's wrong baby?" I asked softly and she looked down at me.
"I don't know… well I do I just don't know why it's a problem." She said quietly.
"Tell me. Please." I said softly as I nudged her arm with my head. I closed my eyes briefly as she ran her hand I nudged back and forth over my head. Despite how good it felt I opened my eyes and gazed at her questioningly.
Letty's POV
'Oh man how did I say this?' I thought to myself.
"Don't you think this is all happening a bit fast?" I said cautiously as I looked at him. I felt him tense a little but I didn't stop my hand from running through his hair.
"What do you mean?" His voice was slightly guarded and I sighed.
"Like…this. Sleeping in the same bed together the first week we start dating. Don't get me wrong I like it but…"
"You're scared." He said surprised realizing what I was trying to say and I bit my lip and nodded.
"I guess that's one way of putting it, yeah."
"Of what Let?" I smiled slightly at the sound of his voice it was so soft even though his voice was deep.
"It's just this is all so new to me and so much has happened in the last twenty four hours I just don't know what to think. I wasn't… I wasn't expecting all this. I got carted off to the fucking doctors to be put on birth control after a few days of dating. Surely that's not normal?" I asked and he smiled slightly shaking his head.
"No not to my knowledge but I feel your pain."
"Don't take this the wrong way I like sleeping next to you I just… uh it's all too fast." I groaned and slumped down onto the bed next to Dom. I felt his hand on my stomach rubbing softly and I sighed and relaxed.
"Baby if you prefer to stay with Mia just tell me, I won't be mad. I'm not going to lie I would love for you to stay with me but if you don't want to or would feel better putting some space between us just say so. I don't want to force you into anything and I don't want you to feel like you're being backed into a corner." He said softly and I smiled slightly at him as I turned to face him letting him gently pull me closer.
"I don't know what I want." I whispered and he kissed me softly.
"Is that all that's worrying you?" he asked and I looked at him and shook my head.
"Michelle and I exchanged words today, along with two of her friends." I admitted and he frowned.
"What happened?" sighing I told him quietly and he shook his head angrily.
"Baby don't listen to them, that's not the case at all. Let you mean a lot to me I couldn't do that to you."
"A part of me knows that but the other half's still afraid." I said honestly and he shook his head.
"Baby trust me I'm not going anywhere okay?"
"Even if I don't give it up?" I asked timidly and he frowned.
"Yes, I'm not with you just for sex Letty. What did you mean by past experience this morning?" He asked and I sighed.
"When I was in the D.R I met this guy and we saw each other for a bit. He seemed really nice we had a lot of fun, we didn't do very much but he didn't seem to care. Then one day he wanted to go further and I told him I wasn't ready and he… he dumped me for it. I don't want that to happen again." I whispered.
"Let I promise you I won't be like that. To be completely honest with you I don't think I'm ready to sleep with you either. One I'm too scared that I'll fuck this all up and two… don't take this the wrong way okay?" He said and I nodded.
"I don't particularly like having sex with virgins. I feel like an arse after it."
"Oh. Are you going to be like that with me?" I asked curious and he looked at me intently.
"Possibly." He admitted.
"But I'd be willing."
"It wouldn't really matter Let, I don't like the thought of having to hurt you." I frowned.
"So it does really hurt?" I asked timidly and he gave me a small smile.
"Personally I wouldn't know…" He joked quietly before he turned serious.
"But yeah from my point of view and limited experience it does."
"Oh." I said quietly.
"When we get to that point I promise I'll do everything I can to make it hurt less okay baby." He said softly and I gave him a small smile.
"Thank you." we were silent for a moment as we watched each other.
"Oh yeah I should probably tell you that I may have hinted to Tran I wasn't a virgin because they were talking shit." I said awkwardly and he raised an eyebrow.
"Okay. What else were they saying?"
"That you'd go back to her because I wouldn't be good enough."
"Like hell." He muttered and I laughed a little.
"Yeah I told her you called her a bitch." I grinned and he grinned back.
"I bet that went down well." I laughed.
"Not really."
"She'll get over it. There's no way I'd go back to her, besides Vince would kick my arse if I did."
"So would your dad." I agreed and he nodded.
"So what happened this morning?" I asked.
"Oh that." He started with a sigh before telling me everything.
"Oh. So that's why he was so annoyed at mum because she got him to change it?"
"Looks that way."
"Well that's a good thing I guess."
"Yeah, and I know the rules." He said as he started ticking them off one by one.
"That's not many really is it?" I asked and he thought about it.
"No I guess not."
"So when mum's roster changes it'll only be twice a week I get to stay with you?" I asked and he nodded. I could tell he was trying to hide his disappointment but I saw it.
"Yeah."
"Well I guess if that's the case I'll stay with you until then."
"Let you don't have to." He said seriously and I nodded.
"I know but since it'll be changing soon I might as well use the time and if I don't feel like staying with one night I can always change for that night right?" I asked looking at him and he nodded.
"Of course." He said softly. Smiling I leant forward and kissed him gently.
"So when do you get your results?" I asked shyly and he laughed a little awkwardly.
"Um tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it'll be fine but I'm glad I did get tested. I'd hate to make you sick." I nodded and snuggled up to him closer.
"What about you? What did you get?" he asked placing a kiss on my head.
"The shot, i have to have it every three months. She was so rough." I pouted and I felt him smile against my hair.
"Poor baby, I'll kiss it better for you." I laughed at his words and looked up into his face.
"I'm too comfy to move right now." He grinned and pecked me on the lips.
"I'm glad, I'm comfy too."
"I can't wait for the weekend." I said sighing.
"Have you got plans?" He asked curiously.
"No not really just work on Saturday. I just meant no school." I grinned.
"Are you free Saturday night after work?" He asked and I noticed he seemed nervous.
"Yeah I guess just homework…why?" I asked looking at him questioningly.
"I was thinking we could go the movies, it'll just be the two of us." He said quietly and I was surprised.
"What? We don't have to if you don't want to." He said quickly but I shook her head.
"No I want to go I just… never pictured you be one for dates. I was never expecting to be… Never mind. Yes I'll go to the movies with you." I tripped over my words.
"I told you you're different. I'm not going to force you to do anything you don't want to do Let, if you want to do something else we can do something else it's up to you." He said seriously and I nodded.
"No the movies is perfect, it's just not something I was expecting."
"Well expect it, it's probably the only chance we get to be alone together and I like being able to spend time with you." He said softly.
"You're probably right. Thank you." I said as I leant up and kissed him softly. He looked at me surprised.
"For what?"
"For being understanding and patient." I said shyly and he smiled running his hand through my hair.
"You don't need to thank me for that Let, you mean a lot to me." He said and my heart leapt at his words.
"You mean a lot to me too." I said and he smiled. Looking at the clock on the side table I saw it was still only early.
"Do you want to watch a movie?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Wait do you have homework?" he asked and I gave him a look.
"Right sorry I forgot you weren't at school." I smiled and pecked his lips moving back to pick a movie but he tightened his arms around me.
"What?" I asked when I realized he wasn't about to let me up.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" He teased leaning in close to me.
"No" I grinned as I played along with his game.
"Wrong answer." He growled playfully as he kissed me. I kissed him back immediately as I opened my mouth instantly so he could deepen the kiss. I felt his smile a few seconds before his tongue snaked in and glided against mine. I moaned quietly and his hand fisted in my hair holding me to him.
"Much better." He mumbled as we pulled away from each other and I laughed softly.
"Can we watch a movie now?" I asked and he grinned.
"I don't know can we?" He asked as he leant in for another kiss.
"Dom." I laughed against his lips as he placed kisses repeatedly on my lips before he growled playfully dragging me in for another deep kiss which I was happy to surrender to.
