Chapter Thirty-Four

�You gonna stick by me?�

�Maybe��

�What the fuck was that, Letty?� Leon demanded as soon as we were outside, his arm still wrapped around my waist. �Amber�s doing you and Dom a favor and you go and say that shit to her?�

�Yeah�some favor,� I muttered lowly, pushing him away from me. �We shouldn�t have done this, Leon�we never should�ve let Mia talk us into this��

�Shit, girl!� Leon said loudly, nodding towards the house so I knew he was saying it in case anyone could hear us. �You and Dom broke up. You can�t just go after any chick he�s with now!�

�They were practically fucking in the middle of the goddamned street, Leon!� I screamed back at him, hoping Dom could hear me. �And then he can�t even shove his dick back in his pants long enough to talk to me for five seconds?�

�What�d you expect, girl?� Leon asked, quietly. �How�d you think it was gonna be?�

�I don�t know, but�not this,� I whispered, all the fight suddenly gone out of me. �I didn�t think it would be like this� Take me home, Leon��

�Okay, Letty, okay,� he said quietly. �Lemme just go tell Mia we�re leaving� You gonna be aight out here by yourself?�

�Aren�t I always?� I laughed harshly, sitting down on the front steps as Leon went back into the house� I just stared off into space, completely zoned out� Barely even noticed when the door opened and Dom sat down next to me.

�You okay?� he asked after a few minutes, his voice sounding silky and slightly worried.

�Okay�not exactly the word I would choose�but�yeah. I guess.�

�You wanna tell me what that was about in there?�

�Heh,� I laughed, rubbing my hands over my face. �You wanna tell me what that was about back at the race, with your hand up Amber�s skirt?�

�You�re not gonna believe me�� Dom muttered, reaching over to me but stopping just short of my face, like he was scared of how I would react if he actually touched me.

�Oh?� I asked, laughing again. �Lemme guess. You realized tonight how hot Amber is, and how many chicks you�ve been missing out on since you�ve been with me, and you just couldn�t stop yourself from practically fucking her on the hood of your car� And now you�re just trying to figure out a way to end this for real��

�How could you think that, baby?� he asked, rubbing at his eyes with one hand like he was getting a migraine or something. �It was all fake�you know that��

�Looked pretty fucking real to me,� I muttered.

�And how could you even think I would want anyone but you?� he continued, like he hadn�t even heard me. �You�re beautiful, you�re sexy as hell, you make me laugh, you know cars practically better than I do� You�re perfect for me� I love you. And�I know you prolly aren�t gonna believe me, �cause it sounds so dumb�but I really thought that Amber was you, when I was talking to Hector. It�s always you, there next to me� I just wasn�t thinking� I�m sorry�I�d take it back if I could. So�we okay?�

�Whatever, Dom�� I said, looking away from him, trying as hard as I could to remember that I was pissed at him. �Could you just go tell Leon to get his ass out here and take me home already?�

�I�m not goin� inside until you say we�re okay, baby��

�We�re fine, Dom. There, happy? We are perfectly fucking fine� I just need some time to calm down. This is all just�harder, than I thought it would be�you know?�

�Yeah, tell me about it,� Dom whispered, leaning over and brushing a kiss against the top of my head before getting up and going back inside the house.
