After Barbeque
She walks into the garage and tried to remember at least something. It had only been a few days since she came back home but she still couldn't remember her life before the accident. Not her family, her friends, the love of her life. She knew that it would take some time before her memory came back and she wanted to try.
After the barbeque and everyone settled down in the house, she went into the garage. She saw Dom's Charger and something possessed her to pop open the hood. She opened it and looked at the engine. It seemed familiar to her and she was fascinated because the engine looked like adjustments she would do on it.
"That's your baby you know.", She turns around to see Mia walk in, with Jack at her hip.
"You worked on it for months after Dom left. You knew that he was going to come home so you kept fixing it until the accident."
"Did I love him?"
"The two of you couldn't stay apart. You followed him to Mexico with the cops on his tail, went undercover to bring him home. You loved him, I could see it in you every day."
Letty wasn't shocked by the things she had done , she was just surprised that she went through all of it for love.
"I want to remember so bad but my stupid head can't wake up to any of it."
"It's gonna take some time. You got to open yourself up in order to see what's really there."
"And what degree is that from?"
"The degree of marrying a fed who pysho-analyizes everything, you pick up a lot. If you have questions, just go to the source."
She knew what she meant. She did have lingering feelings for Dom but she wasn't in love, not yet at least. She went upstairs to her apparent room to go change and walks in on Dom with his shirt off. She instant felt awkward but she was attracted to him.
"Oh Hey, sorry I thought this was..I'm gonna go."
"No, It's alright. You live here too. I just got out of the shower." He puts his shirt on and makes his way to the door.
"Do you mind staying with me tonight? I feel safer with you here."
"Yeah. Letty, we don't have to rush anything. Only when you're ready for it."
"I know. Maybe we were brought back here, after everything, to have a do over."
"How about we just take it easy?"
"Okay. So would a kiss be considered too fast or just easy?"
"You tell me."
They both smiled as he leaned forward and kissed him. She kissed him back with equal response. They're both feel the heat between them and before she could stop, he grabs her ass and lifts her. She wraps her legs around his waist and they fall back on the bed. They keep kissing until they need to come up for air. Letty was surprised by her reaction to the kiss. The heat and passion just came out of nowhere. She sits up, still on his lap.
"Well that was…"
"Yeah, I don't know where it came from. I just felt this pull and I couldn't let go."
He sat up and held her face with his hands.
"It's gonna be okay. Things are gonna be different now, for the better."
"You promise?"
"Promise."
She got up and put on her pajamas. She looked through boxes of her stuff and found tat she lived out of tank tops and jeans her whole life. She found a tank top and shorts to wear since it was hot. She came back in from the bathroom, Dom was passed out on the bed in his sweatpants and wifebeater. She walks over and climbs over to his side. She lays on his chest and rests her head just where she can hear his heartbeating. She pulls the blanket up to their stomachs and wrapped her arm around his upper waist. She closes her eyes and feels an arm wrap around her back, with the hand holding her shoulder. She felt a kiss on her forehead and smiled at the feel of his touch. She opened her and looked up to see him him looking down on her.
"Sorry if I woke you."
"It's okay. I sleep better having you in my arms."
His words made her smile. He was so sweet to her the past few days. She knew they had a long history but didn't know how intense it was. She sat up a little and put her hand on his chest.
" Did I love you?"
"You did. We were in love. We have fifteen years of history together and you've never left my mind or my heart. Even after all these years."
"It's gonna be awhile until they come back. Are you okay with that?"
"Take all the time you need. I'm here for you and I'm not going anyway where. "
She kisses him and lays her head in the crook of his neck. He kisses her head again and reaches over behind him to turn off the lamp on the nightstand. He reached his arm back over to his side to wrap his arm around her shoulder. He could never fall asleep on his own since she "died" and couldn't sleep a full night. Now that she was home and back in his arms, he slept like a log for the first time in years. Letty felt the same way. She would always have nightmares she could explain to even herself. She would go some days without sleeping. Ever since she came home, the only way she was able to sleep was in Dom's arms. It gave her peace, it made her feel like she was home.
