Letty's POV
I text Mia the next morning asking her to meet me at my place rather than me have to face Dom. It was crazy I knew but since he hadn't made a move to contact me so I assumed he wasn't ready to talk yet, in saying that though I wasn't sure I could last any longer then today so if he hadn't contacted me by tonight I was going to have to suck it up and make the first move. Though a small part of my brain was nagging at me to think about what Cameron had said. I trembled at the thought of Dom and I being over, if that was the case surely he would have told me.
"Hey what's going on with you and Dom?" Mia asked as we got in my car. I sighed and told her what happened.
"Ouch… prick much?"
"Yeah but I wasn't exactly fair either I had lied about Cameron."
"So are you going to say anything to Carlos?"
"No, I was thinking about sitting elsewhere today. I'm pissed at him for saying anything to Dom."
"In all fairness on his part he was just watching Dom's back. That's their thing."
"I know doesn't make me any less mad."
School was hard to concentrate on, I felt like I was constantly looking over my shoulder expecting either Cameron or Carlos to be behind me, maybe even Chris and Leo who knows. If that wasn't enough the rumour Cameron had told me about was just the tip of the iceberg, after hearing them all morning my head was pounding as it had a mini melt down. I mean which ones did you forget about and which ones did you believe?
Lunch came and Jesse and Mia met me at my locker as I switched books for next period. Mia and Jesse it seemed had heard the rumours too and were trying to reassure me which I appreciated but all I wanted was to go home curl up in a ball and dream everything away.
"Uh they're heading this way." Mia whispered and I sighed shutting my locker not needing to ask who she was talking about.
"Awesome more shit to deal with." I whispered.
"Sup guys?" I heard Leo greet.
"Hey Mia, Jess… Let." Carlos greeted me uneasily from behind me.
"Hey." Mia and Jesse said both of them eyeing me as I turned to Carlos.
"Hi." I said flatly and he sighed staring down at me.
"I'm sorry but I had to say something."
"No you didn't, you could have kept your mouth shut and out of it."
"Come on girl Dom had to know and you weren't going to tell him. Dom would have hurt the kid if he found out that he'd been making moves on you."
"I wasn't going to say anything because there was nothing to tell. Don't spin me that shit you were covering your own arse." I snapped.
"Hey I believe that you feel nothing for him but that kid is a different story." Carlos stated. I stayed silent just glaring at him and he shifted awkwardly.
"Seriously Let the kid was bad news and you were completely oblivious to it. We know you had no intentions towards him, or anyone for that matter except for Dom." Leo piped up.
"And that's a good thing." Chris threw in quickly.
"But girl you don't realise how many boys here want you. Some of them are choosing to play a dangerous game and let's face it none of them have a hope in hell going up against Dom. We're just saving them the pain later on." Leo finished but again I didn't say anything.
"Okay look I get your mad and I'm sorry if you feel like we've overstepped a line. But at least he won't be hassling you now, Dom would have put him in line that's all I was looking to do." Carlos said smiling slightly but I shook my head at him. I knew he was just trying to help but as far as I was concerned he was partly to blame for our fight.
"Carlos Dom hasn't spoken to me since Friday night. Surely you've heard the talk around school? I would have thought you'd have been the first to hear we're not together anymore." I stated and all three of them looked shocked. While I wasn't entirely sure that was indeed the case it was becoming more and more believable by each passing second.
"What?" Leo asked in shock.
"Wait a second we thought they were just rumours." Carlos said panicked.
"Yeah well apparently not, so thanks a lot man." I said as I walked away. I heard Mia and Jess mumble a quick goodbye.
"It'll be okay girl, Dom will come around."
"Have you heard him say anything Jess?" I asked hopefully seeing as he had spent Saturday night with them.
"Sorry girl I was the first to fall asleep. They all had pretty bad hang overs the next morning though."
"I'm not surprised. Dom drunk dialled me Sunday morning." I confessed.
"Maybe you should make the first move." Jess suggested as we sat down to eat.
"Yeah maybe." I whispered.
"Come on guys let's move already we should have left an hour ago." Mr T said as we packed up the garage. Mr T had been hoping we could have shut early but a couple of cars came in that needed fixing immediately and we had to put in the extra hours.
"Sorry man we're closed for the day." I heard Vince say as Dom and I packed up the tools we had out in silence. And wasn't that awkward.
"Uh yeah that's fine I'm not actually here for my car I was actually looking for Letty. Is she still here?" Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dom look at me and I paused as I felt all eyes on me suddenly.
'oh shit no not here!' My mind screamed as I heard Cameron's voice. Turning around I smiled trying not to seem tense about it but this was not the place for him to come around especially with the boys around, especially not in front of Dom.
"Hey what are you doing here?" I asked quietly aware I had an audience who were trying to make it seem they weren't listening as I wiped my hands on the rag I had.
"You forgot your bio book at school, I stopped by your house but no one was there, so I figured you must still be here." He said as he held up my text book.
'I'm going to kill Mia.' I thought as I smiled slightly at him.
"Thanks, I need that to finish the rest of the assignment off." I said as I stepped forward and took it off him. I was aware I still had an audience so I wanted to try and get this over with as soon as possible.
"If you're not busy tomorrow I was thinking we could finish the assignment and then we'll be able to submit it?" he asked.
'oh man this kid had a death wish.' I thought frantically as I quickly tried to think of a lie.
"Can I get back to you on that? I'm working I might be able to do it at lunch before Bio." I asked quietly and he nodded though he did seem a bit put out yet again.
"Sure, I'll see you later?"
"I'll let you know about tomorrow." I said as he walked out looking uneasily around at everyone before leaving for good. I turned around knowing what was about to come as I placed my text book on the bench as I walked back over and finished packing up.
"Who was that?" Dom demanded as he frowned at me. Oh now he was decided to speak to me.
"My lab partner." I said refusing to meet his gaze.
"He's seems…nice." Mr T said quietly but I stayed quiet and continued with my work. Nothing else was said but I could feel the change in the atmosphere, tense and awkward.
"Alright everyone done?" Mr T asked. We all nodded and locked up as we left for home. I was the first to pull up and I saw Mia was waiting at the door, she gave me a look as I walked past her with my text book and I shot her one back. She smirked and it was obvious she realised what had happened.
"You were home weren't you? You told him where to find me." I whispered quietly as she and I entered the kitchen.
"Maybe. How many questions have you gotten about it?" she asked smirking, I shook my head at her as the boys entered grabbing a beer all of them eyeing me still, including Dom who was brooding in the corner.
"Are you crazy? You're playing with fire." I whispered frantically to Mia.
"So Letty who was that before?" Vince asked breaking the silence. Mia had to turn away to hide her smiled and I shot her a glare.
"He's my bio partner, hence the bio book." I snapped as I got out a drink from the fridge.
"No need to get defensive…" He muttered.
"So are you meeting with him?" I heard Dom's deep voice ask.
"Not likely." I said tensely.
"So Letty did you finish your project?" Mr T asked as he walked in and I felt like everyone was making assumptions all of a sudden.
"Pretty much yes, we'll submit it tomorrow." I said as he smiled at me. Not wanting to be around them anymore I placed my unopened drink on the counter and announced I was going home.
"That was mean." I heard Mia say as I walked out but I wasn't stopping as I got in my car and drove the short distance to my house.
"Hey hunny you're home late." Mum said eyeing the time.
"Work ran over we only just got home."
"Are you okay baby?" I sighed and sat down in the chair next to mum telling her what happened.
"Oh sweetie you know what Vince is like, he likes to tease, as for Dom well… he's obviously still jealous. I'll bet you anything he'll come around tonight." She said patting my back.
"Feel like Chinese for dinner?"
"Sure mum sounds good." I said lightly as I went up to my room.
I glanced at my phone as it rang hoping it might be Dom but it flashed Mia, not that it meant anything after last time.
"Hey Mia." I sighed.
"Hey, ignore them they're being immature."
"And what about you? Did you do that on purpose?" I asked sitting on my bed.
"Yes he showed up asking for you so I thought it would be perfect to get Dom's attention. It didn't work too well obviously."
"You're a bitch have I told you that?" I said lightly and she laughed.
"Only a couple of times." It was quiet for a while before she spoke again.
"So seriously are you two going to talk about it or not?" I rolled my eyes ignoring her question.
"I didn't even have bio today. How did he get my book?" I asked.
"I… gave it to him?" She said slowly as if she was asking a question.
"Of course you did." I muttered.
"Seriously though you two have to talk about it, you and Dom had a fight okay big deal I'm sure it's not going to be the first. You guys can't leave it any longer just apologise and move on." I nodded even though she couldn't see.
"I know Mia…We'll talk about it on our own terms okay?"
"Sure." I shook my head at her sarcasm.
I spent a little more time on the phone with Mia before I got tired and ended the call. I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling when mum called that she was going out to pick up dinner and she had a few errands to run quickly beforehand.
"Okay mum." I called back tiredly as I closed my eyes listening as the doors shut and locked behind her.
"Let?" I opened my eyes as I heard Dom say my name softly from my name from my door. I looked up at him and he stepped in looking around for a moment before looking back to me.
"Hi." I said softly as I sat up.
"Hi. Your mum let me in." He explained and I nodded thinking back to her 'errands' which were no doubt code for 'I'm going out just in case of a screaming match'.
"A source told me you said we were over… is it true?" he asked softly.
"I don't know you tell me, that's just what I had heard myself." I said looking at him.
"We were never over Letty… and I hope you don't decide to end it now..."
"I don't want to end it." I said softly.
"Good neither do I." we were silent again and he sighed walking over towards me.
"Look about the other night..." He started.
"Yeah?" He didn't say anything just sat down next to me leaving a space between us.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have accused you like I did. I was just mad because you lied to my face about it. It made me think there was truth behind Carlos' words and that you were hiding something."
"I'm sorry too, for lying and for calling you a prick." I added. He smiled slightly.
"I deserved that, I'll admit it."
"I'm sorry, nothing was and ever going to happen with Cameron." I said quietly.
"I know, I'm so sorry baby." He said reaching over stroking my cheek. I leant into his hand and he moved towards me more as I knelt wrapping my arms around him burying my face in his neck.
He hugged me back tightly moving me so I was sitting in his lap. I heard him breathe in deeply and squeeze me tighter placing a kiss on my head.
"I missed you, I don't ever want to fight with you again." He mumbled.
"I missed you too."
"I'm sorry about drunk dialling you." He laughed slightly and I grinned.
'That's okay, you were funny." I admitted.
"I can only imagine. What did I say?"
"You told me I had a sexy laugh." I said laughing softly recalling his slurring words over the phone early in the morning.
"While that's true I definitely didn't want to say that out loud." He laughed.
"I really am sorry baby."
"Me too papa."
"No more lies?" I shook my head fiercely against his neck.
"No more lies." I said firmly.
"You can tell me anything, you know that right?"
"Yeah I know." I said quietly holding onto him for dear life.
"Good, now come here." He said pulling me away from his neck as his lips sought out mine. I smiled happily and kissed him back holding onto him tightly still worried he was going to suddenly disappear.
We ended the kiss and smiled at each other as I blushed and buried my head once again into his neck. We just held each other for a few minutes before I felt Dom move as he lowered us back down onto the bed. I felt his hands run up my back softly and I shivered smiling as I pressed myself closer to his body. I caught his gaze and got lost in his eyes as he stroked my face softly. I could see his eyes darkening and I felt my insides tighten in anticipation of what he was thinking about.
"I'm starting to lose control around you Letty." He whispered.
"Losing control's okay." I whispered though my stomach was in knots at his words and he smiled slightly shaking his head.
"I want you so much it scares me, I can't ever lose control around you, sexual or otherwise. I can't ever hurt you, you mean too much to me."
I text Mia the next morning asking her to meet me at my place rather than me have to face Dom. It was crazy I knew but since he hadn't made a move to contact me so I assumed he wasn't ready to talk yet, in saying that though I wasn't sure I could last any longer then today so if he hadn't contacted me by tonight I was going to have to suck it up and make the first move.
