Summary: Have you ever wondered about how certain words or phrases of the Fast and the Furious golden couple completes the relationship? How the mention of a backrub can dishearten and excite at the same time? How most never hear those three words, " I love you." Yet know that they very well do love each other.
MEANINGFUL WORDS
The Toretto team knew a whole lot and a very little about the relationship between Dom and Letty.
They knew when to leave them be; you wouldn't want to be anywhere near a fight between them. They knew that they preferred private love affairs. They didn't flaunt their relationship, but they also didn't hide it. Around just the family, they were themselves and free. Alone in their bedroom, they were just loud.
They loved each other, despite Dom's constant flirting and Letty's tough girl attitude.
They also knew, that in their relationship of few words, which words meant the most. These words were usually code commands or messages. They didn't always know what these phrases meant.
If Letty just merely said Dom's name, it meant to get his goddamn act together and do what he needed to do or it meant I love you but don't push it.
This began when both of them were first dating. Dom had come back from Lompac just a year before and they were fighting. It had been their first big one, too…
" What is your problem today, Leticia?!" shouted Dom.
It had been one thing after another with her today: one minute she was roughly changing tires, to throwing her lunch garbage on his seat to throwing a brand new Nintendo controller at his wall narrowly missing his head.
" You want to know Dom, really?!" she replied back angrily.
" Hell yes! Why the Hell have you been acting like a Bitch all day?"
By this time the boys and Mia had decided to go out to eat and then get the cars washed and see a movie and see some old friends at their houses and…
" I don't know, maybe because I'm bleeding from my crotch!"
" So you're on the rag, big deal, Mia isn't half the bitch you are!"
" Mia doesn't get cramps, either!"
"Yah, but you have never acted like this before," he said in a last ditch effort to reason with her because he could almost swear steam was coming from ears.
" Today is our six month anniversary! And guess what we are doin' tonight. Eating Chinese leftovers and seeing which one of you bastards can out fart each other!"
" Well, seriously who celebrates that anyway?!" not believing this was the reason at all; since when does his Letty care about this shit?
" Apparently not Dominic Toretto!"
" Well if you wanted to do something; you should have asked!" trying to dig his hole deeper.
" DOM!" she replied back, "I shouldn't have to! That's the fucking point!"
" So let's go out."
" NO, not now. I thought that you cared, but obviously not. Just like my freak family!" she said giving up and trying to walk out the door.
Dom wasn't giving up and bodily blocked the door. " So, this is what this is all about. What did those assholes do now?" he said holding her shoulders to keep her in place.
He watched as her eyes welled with tears… " They kicked me out," she answered defeatedly.
Dom's eyes widened and he crushed her into his chest.
" Why?" was all he could respond with. Everyone knew that her home life wasn't great or anything. And she had practically lived here before, but why now.
" I was getting something to drink last night, when my mom's current boo decided my mom wasn't enough for him. He came on to me," he clenched his arms harder around her, " but I kicked his ass."
" My mom woke up from the commotion, slapped me and threw me out."
" Where did you go?" he asked fuming.
" I drove to the garage and worked on my car." Something she only did when she was trying not to kill someone.
" Next time something is up and I don't get, because I'm fucking stupid just call me on it okay baby."
It was only after all of this that the dysfunctional family began hearing Letty control Dom just by saying his name. It brought a whole new meaning to "Say my name."
" Fine, but you totally owe me now!"
" Fine what do you want."
" Why don't you go upstairs and give me a back rub," she said as she rubbed his chest in circles.
This phrase always meant something passionate; Dom was just glad that is was in a good sense right now.
Later that night, when the rest of the team arrived on the scene, they were none to happy to know the exact details of what was going on in that upstairs bedroom through the volume of activities, but were happy to know that Mami and Papa weren't fighting any longer.
Please Review!!! Hope you enjoyed. Also, please join the movement to BRING LETTY BACK if you haven't already done so.
MUCH LOVE,
