Chapter Forty-Six

“You gonna stick by me?”

“Maybe…”

“Hey, Letty just pulled up,” Vince called out from the office.

“Thanks man,” I answered, pulling myself out from under the car I’d been working on - a brand new Pontiac Grand Am. “I wanted to talk to her…tell her what I found out about going to court and all…”

“Well…you might have to wait to do that…she’s got some chick with her…”

“Shit…” I muttered, walking up to Vince. “That’s just great… I’ll be so fucking glad when all this shit is over and done with…”

Letty and the other girl walked into the garage just then, and I headed back to work while Vince went up to meet them.

“Well now, who is this?” I heard Vince ask, using his ‘I know you wanna fuck me’ tone. I had to laugh…as obvious as it is, that voice has worked for him more times than I can count. “Letty, you never told me you had such a gorgeous friend…”

“Letty?” the girl asked, sounding confused.

“It’s a nickname, don‘t call me that,” Letty said quickly, before answering Vince. “V, this is Jamie… Jamie, this is Vince. Just ignore him.”

“Aw, c’mon Letty,” Vince laughed. “Why ya gotta shut down my game like that?”

“Hmm…maybe ‘cause it’s weak?”

“Really, though, what’re you doing with Letty?” Vince continued. “I didn’t think she knew any girls…well, not except for Mia…”

“We’re…working on a project for auto shop…” Jamie said slowly, like she didn‘t quite know what to think of Vince.

“Yeah,” Letty added, “Loz gave us another one of his dumb ass presentations… Miguel’s gonna be by in about half an hour so we can work on it. We have to interview three mechanics, so we’re gonna talk to Leon and Dom now, and then Hector’s prolly gonna come by later so we can bug him too, get this shit all taken care of today.”

“What?” Vince protested. “You mean you don’t want to interview me?”

“You’re not a mechanic, V…” Letty sighed. I had to laugh. Truthfully, Vince was about as far from being a mechanic as you could get… He could change oil, but asking him to do anything more complicated than that just wasn’t a good idea.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever… So,” he said, turning back to the girl, “you like cars?”

“Well…not really all that much,” she answered. “I mean…they’re okay, I guess… I just got put into auto shop ‘cause there weren’t any other open electives.”

“Don’t like cars…now that is a shame,” Vince teased. “We’ll have to see what we can do to change that…”

“Uhm…sure…”

“Well… Letty, you said Miguel isn’t gonna be here for half an hour, right?” Vince asked.

“Right...so?”

“So, why don’t I take Jamie for a quick ride, and see if we can’t start changing her mind about cars…” he continued, putting his arm around Jamie’s shoulder and walking her towards the door.

“But…what about Leticia?” she protested, turning back to Letty, looking slightly panicked.

“Oh, she’ll be fine…” Vince smirked. “I’m sure she’ll find something to do…”

“Are you sure?” Jamie asked as Vince gently pushed her towards the door, his hand on the small of her back.

Letty just stood there watching until Vince’s car turned the corner and was out of sight. “Well…” she muttered to herself, “wonder why Vince was in such a hurry to get out of here…”

“I think he’s still trying to get back on your good side,” I laughed, stepping out of the shadows.

“Christ, Dom!” Letty yelled as she turned to face me. “I didn’t know you were here!”

“Well…where else would I be?”

“I don’t know,” she said as she walked up and hugged me. “Didn’t you have to go to court today or meet with that lawyer guy Mia found or something like that?”

“No,” I answered. “That‘s tomorrow. Julie called, though. She got the papers for the paternity test.”

“And?”

“And what?” I teased, knowing exactly what she was asking.

“Well how did it go? What’d she say? Tell me, already!” she demanded, lightly pounding her fists against my chest.

“Eh…Julie is not pleased,” I said, laughing at her a little.

“I know you’re gonna tell me more than that…” she growled after I didn‘t say anything else.

“What, are you gonna make me?”

She just stared at me for a few minutes. “Fine,” she finally said, “don’t tell me.”

“I’ll tell you what happened,” I said, wrapping my arms around her, a little disappointed that she‘d given up so easily. “Just…later. When we’re alone.”

“We are alone, Dom!” she said, pushing me backwards. “Although,” she added after a few seconds, pressing her body against mine, “maybe you already realized that…”

“Now?” I asked, running my hands down her back to cup her ass.

“Well…they’re not gonna be back for a while… Might as well take advantage of you while I can, right?”

I didn’t say anything, just moved my hands up underneath her shirt, running my nails lightly across her skin. I reached around to fondle the sides of her tits before moving back down her body. Grabbing her ass, I pulled her closer to me, pressed her right up against my dick. Finally, I picked her up, pushing her shirt out of the way with one hand as I brought her belly up to my face. I licked her stomach lightly, running my tongue flat against her skin, before setting her on the hood of a nearby car. I quickly pulled her shirt off before burying my face in her neck, suckling at her skin there before moving up to her mouth.

“How long do we have now?” I asked, pulling back from her slightly.

“Long enough,” she answered, breathless.
