Dom's POV
After receiving the text from Letty my anger flared. I had really been looking forward to this weekend, especially after today but now everything had been turned upside down and Letty wasn't speaking to me.
I ended up heading back to the party because I knew if I went home yet I was going to brood and then go over to Letty's and start another row and that's not what I wanted.
"Brother, what are you doing back? Where's Letty?" Vince asked as I found him and Leon in a corner both had girls with them. I eyed him and he seemed to know it was something big because he asked the girls to leave making Leon eye us weirdly.
"What did you do?" Vince asked seriously.
"We had a fight and now she doesn't want to see me. I came back so I wouldn't be tempted to go and see her, it'll only start another fight."
"What did you two fight about?" I relayed everything and he shook his head at me.
"I know how you feel but do you honestly think she's cheated on you?"
"No." I said sighing as I downed the beer Leon handed me.
"Come on let's get out of here before you get too drunk."
"I've had two beers V, I'm far from drunk." I muttered.
"Yeah for now and seeing as you're pissed as hell that's not going to be a good combo."
"I'm not pissed." I growled.
"Yeah okay sure you're not." Leon said sarcastically.
"Come on lets go, we can drink all we want at your place." I sighed and followed them out nodding to Hector as we walked out. He and Carlos sent me a weird look but I shook my head at them and they seemed to understand.
We took a detour on the way home and picked up some alcohol before heading home. I parked in the driveway, the other two parking behind me and on the curb and I found myself looking down the street to Letty's house seeing lights on and I glared in that direction. If she hadn't lied we wouldn't be fighting and right now we would be curled up with one another in bed but no we had to have a stupid fight.
"Come on man lets go get drunk." Vince said slapping me on the back as Leon, Vince and I entered the house.
"Hello boys… where's Letty?" dad asked looking at me.
"We had a fight, she's at home." He gave me a questioning look but I shook my head not wanting to talk about it.
"I don't want to talk about it dad."
"If this affects work tomorrow I'll lock you both in the office until you sort it out. And if you plan on drinking away your sorrows tonight don't expect to have the day off tomorrow either." He warned and I nodded.
"Okay dad." I said as we started upstairs.
"Dom." I stopped sighing as I nodded to my room for Vince and Leon to continue while I went back to see dad.
"What?" I asked quietly.
"Have you tried to speak to her?"
"Yes and she told me she didn't want to see me."
"And you think getting drunk is a better option?"
"Probably not but what am I supposed to do? She doesn't want to see me, I'm respecting that."
"Well I'm proud of you for it but please don't get too drunk okay I need all four of my mechanics in working order tomorrow."
"Okay." I said as I walked back upstairs and into my room shutting the door.
"So we drinking or what?" V asked.
"Yeah just can't get too hammered dad needs us functioning tomorrow."
"Right well you heard the boss man lets drink...uh responsibly." Leon said rubbing his hands together.
We had only had a few the night before just to be on the safe side, I didn't want to get on dad's bad side this early in the day. It was tense working with Letty the day after and one look in my direction with a glare told me she still wasn't speaking to me and since we were both still letting off steam I kept my distance and only spoke to her when we had no choice and she did the same. It wasn't that I didn't want to try and work things out because I did. We were both just too stubborn and hot headed to try and sort this out before we cooled down because we both knew it would only end in disaster. I had brought her keys back in and made dad give them to her although I silently wondered how she got into her house last night and drove her car here, maybe she had a spare.
I couldn't help but feel annoyed as I watched her walked out after work and left without a word. Vince patted me on the back and suggested a party tonight but I declined not in the mood for socializing.
"We could drink at mine again." I said to Vince and Leon and they agreed, though Leon said he had to duck home and check in on Jesse first. He left a little while later leaving me and Vince to drive back to mine.
"When are you going to speak to Letty?" Vince asked obviously catching me looking down the street.
"When we've both cooled off." I muttered walking into the house. We shut ourselves in my room watching videos until Leon got back. I smiled up at Jesse as he entered with Leon.
"Hey heard you've been ditching. Better not let Tony find out or he might think twice about letting you work in the garage when you're fifteen." Vince said and I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah man don't throw in the towel yet." I said and he sighed.
"Yeah I know. I'll go to school all this week I promise."
"Glad to hear."
"Jess isn't drinking is he?" I asked Leon wearily and he shook his head.
"Nah man just wanted some company. We haven't hung out in a while." I nodded smiling.
We spent the night watching movies and playing games into the early morning until Jesse crashed then we pulled out the alcohol.
"You… should ring her. Stop being all moppy and shit." I gave V a look.
"Moppy? I think you mean mopey." I corrected. It was about two thirty in the morning and we were well on our way to getting trashed, Vince being the first one drunk as usual.
"Same damn shit." He muttered.
"Here drink this, if you can still form sentences you aint drunk enough." Leon said handing me a bottle.
"What's your excuse?" I asked eyeing him amused and he thought about it before grinning as he grabbed his own bottle.
"Good point. Here bottom's up." We both skulled our drinks and started a second.
"Leon… you shouldn't like Letty." I mumbled to him.
"I know… but she's…hot? Yeah hot."
"But she's mine…" I slurred.
"I know…I aint gunna try nuffin."
"Dom's jealous… dat's his problem. Now you should call her and… sorry… den you fuck her. Dats your problem… you aint getting nuffin." Vince laughed.
"I don't cares… I likes my Letty." I mumbled smiling.
"Den calls her."
"Okay." I muttered blinking blurrily as I dialed the numbers.
"She no answered." I said sadly as it rang out.
"Here let me tries." I watched as Leon dialed the number on his phone.
"It's winging…"
"Ringing moron." Vince laughed drunkenly.
"Shud up… Here." I took the phone as a groggy voice answered.
Letty's POV
I groaned as I heard my phone ringing and I looked around in the dark trying to find it swearing as my hand knocked it and it clattered to the ground. It stopped and I sighed closing my eyes again thinking it was probably just a wrong number.
Hearing it ring again though I sighed and reached down picking it up not checking the ID before I answered it.
"Hello?" I asked tiredly. I had only gone to bed half an hour before but my voice was thick with sleep.
"Baby…" I frowned and sat up as I listened to Dom's voice on the other end.
"Dom? What do you want? I told you I didn't want to speak with you just yet."
"I knows but…I misses yous." I frowned as I heard his jumbled words.
"Dom are you drunk?" I asked and he laughed. I could hear vague noises in the back ground that sounded like Leon and Vince.
"Maybe… just a wittle."
"A wittle?" I laughed.
"I likes your laugh… its sexy." He said getting side tracked.
"Really?" I asked trying not to laugh again as I smiled. A drunk Dom was very funny even if I was mad at him.
"Yes… very."
"Right... Why are you ringing me Dom?" I asked softly.
"Cos… cos… why was I calling her?" I shook my head as he had to ask someone why he was ringing. How much had they drunk?
"Where are you?" I asked worried he was at some party back to his old ways.
'He's calling you stupid.' I rolled my eyes at my own thought, did that mean much?
"At home with Vince and Leon...oh and Jess but he's asweep." He slurred and I couldnt keep in my sigh of relief.
"Okay but look Dom its late and I'm still mad at you. Talk to me tomorrow when you're sober enough to remember the conversation." I said.
"But baby I want you here." He whined.
"Well maybe you should have thought twice before you accused me of sleeping around behind you back." I snapped.
"I know… but I... " I was silent as I listened to his breathing on the other end and I smiled shaking my head as his breathing changed to something deeper and I realised he'd passed out on me.
"Good night papa." I said quietly before hanging up.
"Okay you spent all weekend here and not with Dom, what happened?" Mum asked Sunday morning after getting home from work.
"We had a fight." I said quietly.
"Aww baby what happened?" She cooed and I slumped in my mum's arms as she wrapped them around my shoulders as I relayed what happen.
"Oh sweetheart he's just jealous. This is all new to him just as much as it is to you."
"He doesn't need to be jealous, there's nothing going on." I sighed.
"Have you told him that?"
"Yes." I said sadly.
"Give him another day baby, he'll come round."
"I doubt it he's probably gone off with another girl since then." I muttered angrily.
"Leticia." I sighed at mum's warning.
"Sorry." I apologized.
"Don't think like that. Dom hasn't left the house since the party the other night Vince, Leon and Jesse have been with him the entire time." I blinked.
'So he was telling the truth.'
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Because I've already spoken to Tony, just in case you decided you didn't want to talk about it. Though he doesn't know everything I suspect."
"Boys suck." I muttered and she laughed kissing my cheek.
"Boys do suck, I'll agree with you there. So you have your study session here?" she asked and I nodded.
"Okay well I'll be asleep but if you need anything just come get me okay?
"Okay mum, thank you."
"Anytime baby."
I spent the morning going over the notes we had for our project and getting some more of the report done. Before I knew it Cameron was here and we got stuck into the assignment sitting on the lounge room floor. I couldn't help but keep glancing at my phone hoping it would ring or hoping Dom might show up at the door but neither happened. I suspect he had no recollection of last night.
"Do you wanna take a break?" he asked at three and I sighed silently.
"Uh sure. Do you want a drink?" I asked getting up heading into the kitchen.
"Sure."
"What would you like?"
"Doesn't worry me Let." I handed him a soft drink and we stood in the kitchen talking, though it was half-heartedly on my side.
"So I was thinking if we finish this early enough we could go out for dinner?"
"Um I don't know Cam." I started.
"It doesn't have to be anything big just two friend having dinner."
"Yeah it's just I kind of already have plans."
"Oh… that's okay we can do it another night."
"Yeah maybe."
"Are you still going out with that guy?" He asked casually. Was I? Technically we hadn't ended things we were just fighting that didn't mean a breakup.
"Dom, yeah." I said trying to make it sound happy.
"Oh… I thought… never mind." I frowned.
"What?"
"Well it's just I heard rumors you guys broke up over the weekend." I tried not to show him I was too rocked by that news as I casually brushed it off for the moment.
"Not to my knowledge." I said quietly and he gave me a half smile.
"Must have been a false report."
"Yeah must have been. We should get back into it." I said feeling upset as we went back to the books.
It was nearly five O'clock when we wrapped it, the assignment was pretty much done it just had the last few finishing touches to put on it which we could do at a later date seeing it was well ahead of the due date.
"Cool so we'll be able to hand it on time if not early." I said with a happy sigh glad I didn't have to do this again.
"Yeah… uh listen we should catch up just as friends. Do a movie or something." I sighed and gave him a weak smile not wanting to shoot him down suddenly.
"Yeah maybe Cameron it just depends with work." I said and he nodded in understanding.
"Okay well let me know. Anyway I should go I'll see you Monday, if not in Bio on Tuesday."
"Sure." I said as I walked him to the door and leant against it heavily as he left.
I picked up my phone and started typing a message to Dom but changed my mind just before I sent the message I tossed my phone aside as I packed up my books and the assignment.
'Give it another day.' I thought to myself before going to wake mum for dinner.
After receiving the text from Letty my anger flared. I had really been looking forward to this weekend, especially after today but now everything had been turned upside down and Letty wasn't speaking to me.
