Chapter Sixteen

�You gonna stick by me?

�Maybe��

**

There have been three times in my life where I�ve thought that I�d lost Letty, maybe forever. The first was when I was in jail and realized that no one knew where she was. The second was when she thought I�d been fucking Julie Tran again.

Julie and I had�something, before I went to jail. An understanding, I guess. When I was horny, I�d find her, and we�d fuck, or she�d blow me. I�m not really sure what she got out of the whole deal. To be seen with me at the races, I guess. This was before I got banned from the track, and everyone thought I�d race on the pro circuit someday, become a famous driver.

I didn�t hear anything from Julie after I got arrested. Never expected to see her again, not even after I got out. But then, one night at the street races, there she was.

�Hey Dom, it�s been a while,� she purred as she walked up to me and my car. No one else was around, the others were walking around looking at the rest of the cars there. Normally I would have gone with them, but I was really tired that day. We�d had a shitload of work to do at the garage, and I had almost decided not to go to the race at all, but I needed the money.

�Julie,� I said, wondering what she wanted. I should have known it was just more of the same old shit.

�So, you�re racing again, like old times, huh?� she asked, looking up at me and pouting. I guess she was trying to look sexy, but I just thought she looked fake.

�Yep,� I answered, already bored with her.

�So when are we going to be like old times again, Dom?�

�What?� I asked. I hadn�t really been paying attention to her, I was looking around for Letty.

When I turned back to face Julie, she�d unbuttoned her shirt and moved closer to me so she was standing practically right on top of me.

�You heard me, Dom,� she said. �When are we going to hook up again? I�ve missed you.�

�Ugh,� I muttered to myself, trying to figure out how to get away from Julie as quickly as possible. �Never?�

�What?� she said, looking at me like I�d just slapped her across the face. �You trying to tell me you don�t want this?� she asked as she pressed her hand to her chest.

�Yes, Julie, that�s exactly what I�m telling you.�

�What the fuck is wrong with you, Dom? Word is, you ain�t got no one. You go gay or something? Somebody turn you into their bitch while you were in prison? Decide you like giving blow jobs better than getting them?�

�You shouldn�t believe everything you hear out there on the street, Jules,� I laughed. �I have someone. And she�s a million times better than you could ever dream of being.�

�You�re a fucking asshole, Dom, you know that?� she yelled, suddenly pulling my hand to her bare tit. �I want you to remember this moment, �cause you�re never going to have a shot at this again.�

�Like I would ever want it,� I laughed, pushing her away from me. �When did you get so fucking desperate, Julie?�

�Whatever, Dom,� she snapped at me before walking off, her shirt still hanging open.

I just stood there laughing to myself, wondering what the fuck I ever saw in Julie, until I heard her talking to someone.

�Hey, do me a favor,� Julie said, her voice shrill, �tell Dom�s new girl to learn how to give better head, so he won�t have to go looking for it elsewhere.�

I turned, locked eyes with Letty for a second, and then she ran as Julie�s laughter filled the air.

�Oh,� she said, still laughing, �That wouldn�t have been your new girl, would it, Dom? Whoops, my bad. She looks a little young, though��

�Stay the fuck away from me, Julie,� I growled as I pushed past her to go find Letty and try to explain.
