A/N: One Shot of a story that popped in my mind earlier today. Read and Review, maybe it will be a Two Shot!
Letty POV
I groaned as I heard my phone ring for what felt like the hundredth time that night, with frustration I rolled over and blindly reached for the device that was causing me a great amount of annoyance.
"Hello" I answered bitterly.
"Letty, it's Hector, you have to come get Dom, he's going crazy here"
"Not my problem anymore, Hector." I responded with an annoyed tone, because it was true, Dom and I had broken up a month ago, and I was already having a tough enough time dealing with it and I didn't need another reminder of him.
"Let, please. Mia isn't answering and he won't stop. He cried, Let, then he punched a mirror and won't let me take him to the hospital, I don't want to call the cops on him but he's just getting worse, and he's bleeding pretty bad" He said with worry, but the mention of him being hurt was all that I needed to pull my tired body out of bed. Why can't I just forget him and not care?
"I'll be right there" I said simply as I hung up the phone grabbing a sweater to put over Doms tank top that I had been wearing to bed every night along with his boxers, I didn't realize the sweater that I grabbed but it was dark so I threw it on my body and grabbed my keys making my way out the door quickly.
I skillfully sped through traffic weaving through the cars with only one destination in mind. I opened the window because at this time I needed air, I haven't seen the man I had been with for 6 years in 3 weeks and I hadn't planned to, I missed him and I was heartbroken but I had to remember why I had to end it. The thought of it made a tear fall from my eye. I kept speeding through traffic with no problems in my way, atleast on the road until I came to the bar where Dom was wreaking havoc. I slowly got out of the car and made my way to the door as I came face to face with Matt, the bouncer at the bar who just gave me a sympathetic look.
"Hey baby girl, sorry we had to call you" He said genuinely as he ushered me over to the door to get inside.
"It's ok, thanks for not calling the cops on him, ever since Lompac I don't think he could handle even being in a holding cell. No matter how much I hate him right now, I never want him going back there"
"You're a good woman, Let"
"I try to be" I said with a sad smile but punched him lightly in the arm.
I made my way into the bar which was no longer busy and I saw Hector standing by the mens washroom, and I assumed that's where Dom was. I walked over towards the bathroom and I saw broken glass on the floor, and a hole in the wall that could only be caused by a forceful punch.
"D, come on man, let me in and I'll take you home"
"Fuck off, Hector" The drunken voice of my ex-boyfriend replied to our friend who was trying to help.
I walked over to Hector and put my hand upon his shoulder and smiled as he turned to look at me. He stood up and gave me a 'good luck' nod as I made my way closer to the wooden door. I knocked lightly but said nothing.
"Hec, I said fuck off, I don't want to go home, all it does is remind me of her!" He yelled and my face softened at his admission.
"Dom, it's me" I said softly and almost immediately I heard the shuffle of his feet as he unlocked the door and opened it looking down at my small frame with his puffy red eyes and the dried tear stains that fell down his face towards his mouth, the mouth that held a strong smell of alcohol.
"You're here" He said with a shocked voice as he stumbled closer to me, but I had to put my hands up as I pushed upon his chest.
"I'm just here to take you home, Dom." I said looking down, I wasn't ready to look him in the eye, not yet anyways.
"No, I don't want to go home" He said stubbornly
"You can't stay here, and I don't want you being thrown in jail for this, just come on."
"What do you care, you left me" He said bitterly as he walked out of the bathroom and stumbled towards the bar.
"Hector my man, gimmie a double whiskey!" He slurred slamming his fists on the bar.
"Not tonight, brother" Hector said as he backed away to give us time to talk.
"Oh look there's another person walking away from me" He drunkenly laughed.
"I had to leave you, Dom, I didn't want to, I had to!" I said as I grabbed his arm making him face me.
"You didn't have to do anything, Letty! You wanted to leave"
"Do you know how hard it was to everyday see my boyfriend flirt with another girl in front of me? Or how I felt when you would act like I wasn't even there as soon as a skank in a short skirt walked by, how you lie to me about where you were when I always knew where you were and with who, and then when you did cheat, I lost myself… All I could do was get mad and I did but you have no idea how much I cried and questioned myself and wondered why I wasn't good enough for you? I'm not that girl, and you made me that girl, you made me insecure, and scared, you made me feel like I wasn't good enough, you made me feel like I was replaceable, you made me feel like you didn't even love me. You don't know how hard that was for me to open up to you and give you everything only for you to treat me like I was your option. I would never let any man treat me like that, but I let you. I let you because I had hope and I had faith in you to prove me wrong, and all I got was heartbreak and disappointment. So, yes Dom, I had to leave because I was losing myself in order to please you and make you happy. The fucked-up part of all of it is I still love you, and you're just mad you don't have anyone to fuck at any time of the day anymore" I said to him while the tears fell from my eyes, I had yelled and called him an asshole when we broke up but I never said this to him and maybe that was my fault but I didn't share certain things as a way to protect myself and my heart.
He looked at me with empty eyes, the only time I have ever seen him have this look was when his father died.
"Let's get in the car" He said lowly as he made his way out of the bar. I stood there frozen in place as he continued to walk out.
"I'm sorry, baby girl" Hector said as he hugged me.
"I'll get him home" I said softly as I made my way out to the car that Dom was leaning against. I unlocked the doors and we both sat in silence as I started to drive down the road but this time I wasn't speeding, I was going slow because I felt everything else around me was going at a rapid pace. The silence was killing both of us so I was thankful when he reached over to turn the radio on, however; as soon as I heard the song, I was praying for silence again.
So I heard you found somebody else
And at first I thought it was a lie
I took all my things that make sounds
The rest I can do without
I listened to the words and continued to keep my eyes on the road, even though; all I could focus on was the song.
I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else
I couldn't help the tears that fell down my face as I tried to not make a sound. I could see Dom out of the corner of my eye staring out the window but he felt the words just as strongly as I did.
Come on baby
This ain't the last time that I'll see your face
Come on baby
You said you'd find someone to take my place
I just don't believe that you have got it in you 'cause
We are just gonna keep 'doin' it' and everytime
I start to believe in anything you're saying
I'm reminded that I should be getting over it.
I gripped the steering wheel and I opened my window again, it seems that the cold air was a much-needed element tonight.
I don't want your body
But I hate to think about you with somebody else
Our love has gone cold
You're intertwining your soul with somebody else
I'm looking through you while you're looking through your phone
And then leaving with somebody else
No, I don't want your body
But I'm picturing your body with somebody else
The song had ended and yet it was still playing and repeating loudly in my head.
"You are the most important person in my life" He said quietly and I didn't say anything back I just let him talk.
"I had no idea that I was making you feel like that, Let"
"That's bullshit, Dom" I said with an exhausted tone.
"Okay, I had some idea, of the jealousy, but it was only because I liked seeing how fired up you got. I promise you that it was never my intention to hurt you or make you feel like you weren't wanted. All I ever wanted and still want is you."
"The jealous game was cute at first, but we've been together for 6 years Dom. 6 years and I still have to fight you on going out on a date."
"I promised him I wouldn't do this" He said with his head held down.
"What?"
"My father. I always promised him that I would treat women right, and that when I found the woman I love to never let her go, instead I was just a monster who basically held the door open for you to walk out of."
"Dom" I started with a sigh. "You're not a monster, you can be a real asshole at times, yeah, but you're not a monster."
"I'm sorry, Letty, I'm sorry I made you feel like there was ever any other woman who was better than you, I'm sorry that I ever made you feel like an option, because you are my only option in life. I'm so sorry that I made you feel like you could ever be replaced by anyone, because that, well that's just impossible, never have I ever wanted another woman in my life to spend forever with other than you. If there is no you, then I don't care what the future has because none of it matters without you. I'm sorry for cheating, there is no good reason for that and I was an idiot, I still am. But, what I am most sorry for most even more than the cheating is the fact that I, even for a second made the love of my life feel like she wasn't loved by me. I don't just love you, Let, I am in love with you. Walking up in the morning no matter how shitty our situation or night before was, I always had a moment of happiness every time I would wake up and see you lying next to me. I get scared that one day you're going to wake up and realize you can do better than me, and when you left, I felt my whole world come crashing down and I didn't understand that feeling till I saw you grab your boots the boots you never wore from the back of our closet and walk out the door."
Listening to him speak I could hear the sincerity and the sadness in his voice and I know he was being honest, but before I could respond I turned off and made my way down a road that was not leading to Doms house, or mine.
"I never wanted a life without you, Dom. I never planned to find happiness with someone who wasn't you, because at the time I didn't think that was possible."
"And now?"
"Now, I know that it is possible to find happiness with someone else, but it would never be the same happiness you gave me. I couldn't love anyone the way I love you, so it would be a happy life, but not a completely happy and fulfilled life." I admitted as I turned off and into the deserted parking lot. I turned the car off and made my way down the walkway to sit on the sand listening to the waves crashing against the shore.
I hadn't heard Dom follow me so I knew he was still thinking in the car, so I knew I could really let my tears out. I cried into my forearms that rested upon my bent knees until I felt a body sit behind me rubbing my back softly as he moved my hair from the back of my neck to leave a couple soft kisses there.
"You are the only woman I want in my life, I promise you, baby, it will never be anybody else but you. I will do everything to prove to you that it's only you, Let. It always has been and always will be." He whispered as I played with the fingers he snuck around my waist while I quietly examined the cut on his hand from punching the mirror. I loved when he showed this side of him, no act, no walls, just him, and I loved him.
"Things have to change, Dom, I can't go through all that again it was too hard." I spoke truthfully as I looked out at the ocean that was glowing from the moonlight.
"Marry me" He stated and instantly my body froze.
"What?" I asked confused
"Marry me, Letty. You're the only woman that I have ever even thought of marriage with anyways, you are the only woman I want to be with till the day I die, so marry me" He asked with a hopeful tone.
I gripped his fingers and sighed as I leaned my body into him.
"I'm not going to marry you, Dom" This time it was his turn to go still.
"Wha-" He started but I turned around in his arms and cut him off before he could finish.
"Dom, I'm not going to marry you to clear your conscience"
"No, tha-"
"Dom, you're asking me to marry you so you can prove a point that you're serious and so you can feel like you've done your part in proving your love to me. I don't want that. When I marry you I want to look back on the proposal and smile because you proposed with only the feeling of love, happiness, and want in your mind, not because we broke up and you're trying to prove something. I want to know that when we get married it's because you love me, not because you are trying to prove your love for me." I said softly but truthfully and I looked at him while he gave me that stupid smirk that always makes my heart melt.
"What?" I asked him.
"You said 'when' we get married. You do want to marry me!" He said excitedly and all I could do was laugh softly.
"I never thought I wanted to get married, but I've always pictured marriage with you, I never wanted to be someone's wife ever till I felt the love I did for you and all of that changed, I want marriage and babies one day, but I only ever wanted them with you."
"Does this mean?" He asked with a meek tone.
"This means, I would like to date you, but things have to change"
"How about, I will stop flirting with woman, whether it's in front of you or not and 1 date night a week?"
"I know you can never fully stop flirting, Toretto. So, very light flirting, absolutely no touching unless you are pushing them away, and 2 dates a week unless something else is otherwise planned."
"And on each of those dates we each pick a different date" He said as he picked me up and placed me on his lap.
"I like that, AND one more thing" I said with a puppy dog face.
"No, Letty"
"Please, baby I want one so bad!" I whined as I leaned my body into his.
"We don't have time for one"
"We can make time!"
"How about in a year?"
"No too long, if we get one tomorrow, I will give you one right here right now" I said implying I would give him a blow job.
"A blow job for a puppy is not even in the same field"
"Basically the same" I said laughing as I kissed his bottom lip.
"We can get a puppy tomorrow only if you let me 'slip' it in" He said with finger quotes around the word slip and I looked at him like he had two heads.
"What, no. Sticking it in my ass is definitely not in the same field for a puppy. I'm not asking for a Siberian tiger, just a little puppy."
"6 months and a blowjob once a week" He bargained.
"3 months and 2 blowjobs a week" I reasoned, because he will most likely forget about me giving him head anyways.
"Deal" He smiled pulling me closer to him as I rested my head upon his bald on while a ran my fingers on the back of his neck.
"Will you come home tonight?" He whispered.
"Let me think about it?" I joked.
"Letty" He whined.
"I'm kidding, bub. I thought you'd never ask." I said kissing his ear.
"Let's go home" He said standing and picking me up carrying me to the car. I felt him fishing for my keys but I swiped them before he had a chance to.
"I don't think so, you're still tipsy"
"You've driven with me before after a couple drinks"
"That was your car, this is mine. Besides I wouldn't let you drive anyways, it's my car."
"Stubborn woman" He muttered as he got into the passenger seat.
"Don't forget it"
We drove along the busy freeways of LA till we made it home, Dom and I got out and he opened the door for me allowing me into the house he took my hand and we walked up the stairs together feeling stronger than ever as we made our way into OUR bedroom.
Dom stood in front of me as he unzipped the sweater from my body.
"I was looking for this" He said and I looked down and noticed the sweater I was wearing was his, I just blushed and smiled up at him.
"Arms up" Dom said and I did as he asked while he pulled my shirt up leaving me completely bare from the hips up. He kissed me and slid his boxers' I was wearing down my legs. I bit my lips with how gentle he was being and I brought his lips back to mine as I pulled his shirt over his head with ease. I let my fingers slowly trail down his chest and abs as I undid the button on his jeans and let his pants fall, next a grabbed his briefs and I slid my body down so I was sitting on my knees pulling his briefs down the lower I got. I left kisses along his chest and by his belly button, I let my tongue snake out as I traced the V lines occupying his lower half. Before I could take him in my mouth he bent down to pick me up, without hesitation I wrapped my legs around him and our lips found each other again. I lightly scratched at his muscular back as he walked us to the bathroom and turned on the shower, we stood under the hot water together holding each other. I wrapped my arms around his waist loosely as I let my fingers trace his spine leaving kisses on his chest. Dom wrapped one arm around my body holding me tightly as he ran one hand through my hair leaving kisses on my forehead while whispering sweet nothings in my ear. I closed my eyes just enjoying the feeling of being in Doms arms.
Once the water started to get cold Dom got out first and grabbed a large towel and wrapped my body in it almost like you would with a small child. I looked up at him from under my long lashes and gave him a small smile, he leaned down and gave me another kiss then started to dry my body off. Once we were both dry we walked to our bed just as naked as we were before. Dom got in on his side and me on my side, but it took all of three seconds for me to basically crawl on top of him. I tucked my head in the crook of his neck leaving small kisses there as I wrapped my arms around his neck while our legs intertwined. The blanket covered our bodies but only to the top of my waist my upper half was left bare as Dom let his fingers slowly run down and up my back and along the side of my naked breast that was tightly pressed to Doms chest making me sleepier with each trace. His other hand was resting comfortably on my ass, just how I liked it.
"I love you, Dominic Toretto" I whispered in his ear.
"I love you, Leticia Ortiz, whenever you doubt that, tell me and I will show you how much I love you"
