Letty's POV
I rested sleepily on Dom's chest in bed. I yawned tiredly moving my head to get more comfortable but frowned annoyed at the material against my cheek.
"You still cold?" I asked sleepily hinting to his shirt that he insisted keeping on as I wrapped my arms around him.
"Mmhmm sorry baby." He said quietly as his fingers ran through my hair.
"It's okay. Thank you for today and tonight, although I wish you would stop being so gentle with me." I said looking up at him but he smiled.
"I'm sorry."
"No don't be, I love the other side of you I just wish I got to see more of the side I got to see when you came home." I said thinking back. Up on the lookout point I thought for sure he was going to cave and just let loose with me for once but the drive home must have given him time to think. I sighed closing my eyes again there was always next time to try and convince him.
"Go to sleep baby." He said softly as he wrapped his arms around me more tightly.
"Do we have to work tomorrow?"
"You know we do. We got to get this place back on its feet." I sighed.
"I know. I love you Dom."
"I love you too baby." He said quietly.
Two months later
I stood up sighing as I looked down at the car I was working on. It was a really nice car. All decked out with the latest technology, body kits and a paint job to match. It wasn't the first wed had in either. I had noticed over the last month we'd been picking up business and the cars that were coming in were street racing cars. The parts sure as hell didn't come cheap either but yet we were getting them in just fine and the business was doing well again. I didn't know what was going on and every time I asked no one would answer me. It was bugging the hell out of me.
I looked over to Dom who was working with Vince on another car much like the one I was working on. He and the boys had been going out a lot lately and it worried me because they wouldn't tell me anything. I suspected they were racing, it fit as to why suddenly all these cars were turning up, not to mention the money that was suddenly around. I hadn't really thought anything of it at first but then when Dom and the boys suddenly upgraded Dom's car it peaked my interest. Vince's was the next one and just recently Leon's too got an upgrade. By upgrade I mean the types of parts I was currently putting into the car in front of me. Motor work, all of them had had body kits put on and they'd repainted their cars just to name a few. Things between Dom and I were weird but I couldn't put my finger on it. He'd be weird with me for a couple of days and then suddenly it would be over but it was followed by dates, small gifts here and there, all night love making sessions to the point where I couldn't keep my eyes open the next day, even breakfast in bed and flowers. It would go on for a couple of weeks then I noticed his frustration would set in again and he'd start snapping. Needless to say we'd had some pretty big fights, over what I can't remember but it was confusing the hell out of me. I asked him about it a coupleof times and he told me I deserved to be treated like a princess that's why he did it. As for the fights he said he was sorry he was just stressed with the businesses seeing as they weren't completely stable just yet so I left it.
Lately though Vince and Leon started getting edgy around me and then would suddenly start treating me very much like Dom too. For Leon that was sort of normal in a way, but for Vince it was weird. There were nights when Dom was out with Hector or working late that Vince would want to hang. It wasn't normal and I was starting to get worried, maybe even a little suspicious.
I shook my head pushing the thoughts out of my mind. Dom wouldn't do that to me. I hadn't heard so much as a rumor about Dom being with any other girl so I honestly had reason to doubt. He was probably caught up in something he knew I wouldn't approve of.
I rubbed my forehead feeling the onset of a headache coming on. They'd been happening a lot lately, the stress of mum's wedding was finally getting to me i think. After the garage started doing okay and the bills were suddenly all being paid Dom begged mum to rethink the wedding. It took him a while but she agreed when she realised everything was getting back on track.
With the wedding only a month away Mum and James were busy with all the planning which was fine because it kept her out of the house most days so she didn't see the fights Dom and I had. The thing was the news she had broke to me two weeks ago that I was hiding from everyone.
"So what did you want to speak with me about?" I asked her late one night after everyone had gone to bed. We were sitting outside so I assumed it was for my ears only.
"James received a job offer last week…" I raised an eyebrow suddenly not liking where this was going.
"Okay…"
"Well he's taken it but it kind of makes things a bit…tricky."
"Why?"
"The job offer's in Sacramento." My stomach dropped.
"As in California?"
"Yeah…"
"What are you trying to tell me? We're moving?" I asked upset.
"Letty your eighteen, I can't tell you what to do anymore… the choice is up to you just know whatever you decide you'll always have a place with us."
"So your leaving?" I asked.
"Yes."
"When?" I asked looking at her.
"After the wedding, Letty you don't have to make a decision right away. I'm not asking that, I know this is a big decision for you. if you want to stay here with Dom I'll respect that, all I ask is that you all come and visit when you can and I'll do my best to come down as well."
"I'll think about it." I said quietly and she nodded.
"The others… don't say anything. Wait till you decide what you want to do then James and I will tell them."
"Okay." I said eventually.
"That includes Dom." She said lightly and I nodded.
"I know."
"You okay Let?" I heard Dom ask.
"Headache." I said waving him off.
"Maybe you should see a doctor, you've been getting them a lot recently."
"I have a lot on my mind. I'm sure its nothing." I muttered.
"I'm just worried baby." He said concerned and I nodded giving him a small smile before going back to work.
"Letty hold still, last one." I huffed and rolled my eyes as mum finished pinning the last section of the dress. I was a bridesmaid along with Mia and the dress to be honest wasn't all that horrible it was just the thought of wearing a dress. In front of everyone, especially Dom seeing as he didn't see me in my formal dress.
"That's what you said five minutes ago." I muttered looking down at her as she finished pinning the hem on the dress.
"There done. Now go carefully take it off please." Mum said grinning at me as I rolled my eyes and stepped down off the chair I was standing on.
"Mia you're up next hunny." Mum said as Mia stood up on the chair while mum knelt down pinning the hem like she had with mine.
"Can't wait until this wedding is over." I mumbled as I rubbed my temples as I started towards the stairs. I looked behind me as I paused on the bottom step as the door opened.
"Wow." I glared at Vince not in the mood for teasing.
"Don't start." I warned as I started climbing again.
"I wasn't going to tease. You look good."
"Uhuh." I called back.
"He's right baby you look beautiful." I turned to give Dom a small smile as he climbed the stair behind me.
"Since you're coming can you help me get this off without sticking me with the pins."
"I can try." He laughed.
"Better try hard." I said as I walked into our room. Mum never said anything when Dom got back so we assumed she was fine with me permanently moving my stuff in.
"You okay? How's your head?" he said as he shut the door behind us.
"Throbbing, I think I'm going to have a nap." I sighed as I lifted my hair off my back so Dom could undo the back.
"Uh… how the hell do you undo this?" he asked and I laughed softly.
"Start with the bow first off and then just gently loosen the strings."
"Right… why did your mum pick such a hard dress for me to get you out of anyway?"
"I don't think she was thinking about us having sex when she bought them." I smirked.
"I guess that would be a bit weird if she did."
"Just a bit." I yawned as he finished and I was able to gently shimmy the dress down and step out of it. I laid the dress flat on the bed neatly knowing mum would go off her rocker if there was a crease in it.
"Now this is much better." Dom said cheekily as his arms wrapped around my waist. I was standing in my underwear and a bra. I laughed softly as his hands ran softly over my skin while he pressed his lips to my temple.
"I know of a way to get rid of your headache." He hinted and I caught myself smiling.
"Mmm and what might that be?" I played along.
"It involves you, me and this bed for the next hour or so." He said nipping at my neck.
"As good as that sounds, mum's home for the next half an hour."
"Well after she's gone I'll help you out if you're still interested."
"See how I go. I'll take the dress down to mum and then I'm going to lay down." I said moving out of his arms to pull on a pair of short and a top.
"I'll take it down baby, you rest. I'll be back up soon." I nodded once and kissed him back as he leant down before he retrieved my dress and walked out shutting the door behind him.
Sighing I laid down in bed snuggling into the covers as I relaxed with my eyes closed. Mum was staying at James' for the night leaving us alone here and from what I heard the boys planned on going to a party Hector was having. Meaning it was just Mia and I as Jesse would no doubt tag along with the others. A quiet night in other words, normally I'd probably ask Dom if Mia and I could go but my head was throbbing and I had no intention of leaving this bed tonight.
"Baby?"
"Mmmm." I whined in my sleepy state as I heard Dom's voice. I felt the bed dip and then his arms curl around me.
"You feeling okay?"
"My head hurts." I said quietly.
"Poor baby... Why are you so tense Let?" he asked quietly as his hands found my shoulders.
"Just got a lot on my mind." I said tiredly as I leaned into his touch. He rolled me over so I was lying on my front as he leaned over my back.
"Like?" he asked as he tugged at my shirt and I lifted off the bed as he threw it off. His hands made quick work of my bra and I sighed happily as his hands kneaded my tense muscles.
"Just everything." I said waving him off. I noted that he stilled when I didn't tell him but started a moment later.
"Nothing you can talk to me about?" he asked hopefully and I sighed mentally.
'If only I was allowed.'
"Not right now." I said apologetic and he sighed.
"Okay baby well I'm here to listen when you're ready."
"I know."
"So about that offer from before… do you want some help?" he asked quietly.
"Can you guarantee my headache is going to go away?" I asked hopefully but also playfully.
"No but I'll try my hardest." I smiled and turned underneath him smiling up at him as I felt his hands make their way up to my breasts palming the skin softly.
"I think you have too many clothes on." I stated as he smiled widely down at me.
"I think I can fix that."
I rested sleepily on Dom's chest in bed. I yawned tiredly moving my head to get more comfortable but frowned annoyed at the material against my cheek.
"You still cold?" I asked sleepily hinting to his shirt that he insisted keeping on as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Do we have to work tomorrow?"
"You know we do. We got to get this place back on its feet." I sighed.
"I know. I love you Dom."
"I love you too baby." He said quietly.
