(FAST AND FURIOUS 6 ½)

ONE SHOT: LOVE ME BACK TO LIFE

Chapter 1

The moon light shone luminously through the slide door of the balcony bedroom of the beach front condo in Tambor Costa Rica. Dom and the team decided after 6 months of home renovation and upgrading their garage in L.A. that they needed a vacation. Dom had purchased this condo one month after Letty had returned with him to LA. He said it was him fulfilling his promise to her, realizing a dream he had of them on a beach in Mexico. This was all before everything went to shit. Jesse was killed, Mia had to quit school, the whole family was facing jail time and all hope and dreams were thrown out with their freedom.

The cool sea breeze waved through the drapes, while the sound of waves and sea birds created a somewhat comforting ambience compared to the sound of LA traffic, neighbourhood swearing and the occasional street fights.

While Dom and Letty had been on great terms now, they or she could not work her way up to being intimate with him and this bothered him deeply although he never showed her any signs of his disappointment. Not even when she would lock her bedroom door every night so he would not come in and somehow sway her decision.

Letty hadn't showed any signs that she remembered anything from her past life. He knew she had feelings for him as she would hang onto his every word when he spoke, she would snuggle close to him on the sofa when watching TV and he could see her become uneasy when he mentioned going out of town or the country when he was sourcing equipment for the garage. She was obviously still afraid of being abandoned. But was this why she wouldn't let him get to close? and if she didn't remember anything why is this bothering her so much. Dom restlessly rubbed his hands over his head in frustration. How could he be in such a beautiful place and sleeping alone when his heart is the other room.

Dom in his disparity made his way to Letty's room that night. He stood staring at the door and sighed as he turned the door handle, expecting it to be locked. But to his surprise it wasn't. Letty habit must have slipped her being in a new place. Her room was filled with the same ambience as his or even more so as her room directly faced the sea. The drapes blew vigorously, creating flapping noises as they repeated the motions over and over. Letty lay still asleep, she loved the cool air in her face when she slept. Dom quietly made his way to the side of her bed and sat on a hand crafted bamboo chair. The place was purchased furnished as none of them except for Mia had any decorating skills, which she was strongly exercising since they arrived.

It had been two years since he actually saw her sleep. The peacefulness in her face was so comforting to him, compared to her usual, confused, pissed off, worried and sometimes sad expressions. She looked angelic in her white tank top, seductively draped with white satin sheets, her dark curls cascaded her neck in the sexiest way. Her skin glowed in the moonlight and Dom felt a sense of pride for having such a perfect soul mate but his smile soon fell as his thoughts wondered back to why were they still so distant even though they were so close.

He was soon snapped out of his thoughts when Letty started to stir restlessly in her sleep. A look of worry and curiosity plastered his face. Letty's breathing became heavy and her legs rubbed restlessly under the satin sheets. Dom Stood up intended on trying to wake her but stopped suddenly as she began muttering words in her sleep.

"I..I...can't…" she muttered as her head turned from side to side.

Dom sat on the edge of the bed monitoring her reactions in case things got out of hand.

"I don't….. have…hammer" she muttered again and again. Dom was shocked beyond belief. She was dreaming about the heist in the DR. But how could this be and how long has this been happening? Why didn't she say anything?

"I can't.." she murmured again, still stirring restlessly. Dom quietly leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"I'll catch you."

Letty instantly settled down and went back to sleep as peaceful as she was before. Dom observed her as she calmed down like an ocean after the storm. Could this be why she always locked her door at night? Does she even know this happens and does she even remember these dreams when she wakes up? Why is she keeping this from him? Dom desperately wanted to know but he didn't want to rush or upset her that she shuts him out completely.

Dom quietly kissed her on the forehead, her eyes fluttered a little but she did not wake, and he went back to his room.

So I had to get this out on paper. Hope you like it ;)
