A/N: What up peeps! It's been a while, but I've had this idea for like two years. I really love The Worst by Jnené Aiko. For some reason that song always reminded me of Dotty. I was hoping for it to be a one-shot, but it turned out to be a little longer so it's now a two-shot. As always, let me know what you think!

I also wanted to thank all the guests that have been reviewing my stories, and anyone else I personally forgot to thank. You guys are amazing. You know most of my stuff comes from you guys so keep it up.

For the guest who has been harassing me with reviews, insert middle finger emoji (_). Ain't nobody got time for you. All your reviews get deleted so don't bother putting your little fingers to work on this one. Here's a secret darling. It's a waste of everyone's time.

Dominic Toretto and his crew rolled up to the apartment building they were given directions to. "Yo man are you sure it's up there?" Leon asked the young men beside him.

"The fuck if I know. You just informed me about this joint like an hour ago." Dominic answered.

"Letty gave me this address last night. It's on the fifth floor." Vince said.

"How come she didn't mention it before?" Leon asked.

"Do I look like Letty to you? How do you expect me to answer that question man?" Vince responded sarcastically.

"Well she hasn't been around much so maybe that's why." Jessie commented quietly as they made their way inside the elevator.

"She's a chick. They get weird sometimes." Dom silently shrugged in response.

"It's so easy to forget she's a girl." Vince commented.

"Except when she's wearing a bathing suit," Leon pointed out. They all gave him disturbed looks. "Oh come on! You guys cannot tell you don't get ideas when that girl throws on a bikini."

"That's disgusting. She's like our sister." Vince shuddered as he banged against the door.

"Yeah man, watch your mouth." Dom warned. "Yo Vince, no one's gonna hear with all this music. It's probably unlocked." Vince twisted the knob and surely enough his best friend was right.

" 'Ey!" They were greeted by Joel, their neighborhood friend and party host. "What's good y'all! Come through, come through."

"What's up bro! Where's the liquor at?" Leon asked cutting to the chase as the men dapped each other up.

"My man, you're always all the way turnt up!" Joel commented with a laugh as he pointed to the kitchen.

"We didn't pregame. I gotta get nice. You know, find my grove."

"Good luck finding anything in there. We've been at this for a minute." Joel told them as the guys bolted to kitchen.

"I can tell." Dom smirked surveying the crowd of people. The lights were dimmed, but he who could tell the place was packed. "Who's here?"

"Yo who ain't here is the real question. It's a miracle the cops ain't been called yet. It's already midnight."

"Yolo!" Dom said as a stunning young lady made her way to his direction.

"Exactly." Joel winked.

"Hey Dom", the long haired Latina greeted coquettishly.

"What's up Dascha?" Dom prompted with his famous half smile. He and the girl had had several intimate interactions in the past. He was no longer interested and actually found her to be quite boring and dull. However as he always did, he entertained her until something better came along. This particular night he was hoping to run into Letty. She had been avoiding him like the plague, and he could not figure out why.

"Not much", the exotic girl responded flirtatiously. "I saw you race the other day. You look good out there."

"I know." He responded nonchalantly. He kept his eyes focused on the crowd while he sipped on a beer in hopes of finding something else. Dascha was what many referred to as a racer chaser. She had been known for making her way around to different drivers including him. She was a gorgeous girl, but there was nothing more to her than a good lay.

"I heard you were going somewhere else. I'm surprised you're here."

"You keeping tabs on me now?" He asked coyly.

"Something like that; I heard you were talking to Chanel." She inquired.

"Am I?"

"Why are you always playing games with me?"

"I'm not playing any games."

"Yeah you are"

"Listen you and I had fun. That's what it was. It's been a while since we had anything going on."

"Yeah, two months if I'm not mistaken."

"And you still haven't forgotten about me? Damn, I must be better than I thought."

"Shut up", Dascha giggled while lightly smacking him on his shoulder. Dom's eyes quickly locked on Letty. She was turned away and did not notice him, but that didn't matter. He would recognize her anywhere.

"Hey I'll check you later. I gotta go check-in with someone real quick." He told Dascha cutting their conversation short.

"Don't leave without saying goodbye." She said holding his arm back.

"Sure" He responded casually as he walked away. He followed Letty up the stairs. She seemed a little bit off kilter, and not completely self-aware. "Yo Let!" He called after her, but she seemed to not have heard him. "Letty!" He called again catching up to her at the top of the stairs.

"Oh shit" She reacted in surprise. Letty had not been expecting him to show up. "Why are you here?"

"What? I can't come to a party?"

"Not this party", she said rolling her eyes.

"Dang why you always have to hurt my feelings like that for?"

"What feelings? You feel? That's news to me." She said with a slight slur. The two had always had a sarcastic banter, but her recent behavior had made Dom nervous. Letty attempted to get passed Dom and open the door behind him.

"What's up with you?" He asked concerned. He pulled Letty aside discreetly. "Don't pretend like I can't tell you've been avoiding me. I'm not stupid."

"No I'm definitely the stupid one. Don't worry. I am very clear on that."

"What are you talking about?"

"Man, can I pee? You're like in my way." She said pushing him aside.

"Letty that's not even the bathroom." Dom said frustratingly rolling his eyes.

"Yes it is." She argued.

"No it's not. The bathroom is at the end of the hall. How much did you drink?"

"That's just for me to know. So don't worry about it."

"So you don't even know? Wow, I'm about to take you home."

"I'd like to see you try. I don't need you in here raining on my parade. I'm enjoying myself. I'm grown." She said pushing him aside as she attempted to make her way to the bathroom once again.

"Funny how you always tell me that when you're not acting like it."

"Funny how you blah blah blah", She mocked him as she entered the restroom. "That's what you sound like. You weren't saying that before. So what does that say about you?"

"You got jokes now?"

"Why don't you go find yourself a little hoochie mama like you always do and leave me alone?"

"Because I'm preoccupied with your stubborn ass right now."

"You're never seeing it again. So don't worry about it."

"Is that right?"

"Yeah"

"Why didn't I know about this before?" Dom asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"Because I recently came to this decision."

"Get in the bathroom." He said ushering her inside. Dom noticed they were starting to get a few glances from the others in the walkway, but thankfully the music was loud enough to drown out their voices at a distance. He quickly dashed inside with her. "Why are you acting all crazy?"

"I'm not crazy. I'm chillin'. You're the one killing my vibe and showing up here uninvited."

"One minute things are hot, and then the next you throw this shit at me. Forgive me. I'm confused."

"Everything changed. You said it wouldn't, but it did."

"Letty you're not making any sense."

"I'm tired of being you're dirty little secret."

"I thought that's what you wanted?"

"I guess it wasn't."

"Then what do you want?"

"Nothing, you go about your business and I'll go about mine."

"Why don't I take you home and we talk about this tomorrow once you've had time to sleep this off?"

"I'm good thanks."

"Let's be rational here."

"I am. This is the most rational I've been in the last four weeks."

"You're drunk."

"I may have lost some of my balance, but I'm no where near shitfaced. Now can I pee in peace?"

"No, you haven't explained anything to me."

"Lets just pretend this entire month never happened. It NEVER happened. Do you understand?"

"But it did"

"Did a tree really fall in the forest if no one was there to witness it?"

"What the actual fuck?" Dom asked confused.

"No one knew, and no one's gonna know. It's fine. You're free. I'm free. We're just friends and co-workers. It's all good papa." She said holding out her hand to shake on it, but Dom dismissed it.

"Listen Let, normally I don't give a shit. But the things you're saying right now got me messed up. I don't get you."

"Dominic it's over. Actually it can't be over because it never was. We were never a thing."

"Why? I thought we were having a good time."

"You wouldn't understand."

"How can I when you're not explaining anything?"

"Stop making this so hard. Stop pretending like you actually care. Just leave me alone. Go find a girl, fuck her, and be happy. That's what you do. Go do you." Letty said beginning to tear up.

"Is that what you want?" He said getting closer in proximity to her.

"Are you deaf?"

"Is that really what you want? Because that doesn't make sense to me." He asked again caressing her face.

"Don't do that." She warned him. Her voice was just a whisper.

"I'm not doing anything; at least not anything you don't want me to do." He said leaning in to kiss her. She gave in as he pressed her against the wall. Their tongues collided briefly and she found herself embracing his broad shoulders and strong arms while he continued to cup her face. Their passionate embrace lasted a few more minutes until Letty mustered the self-will to end it. She walked away and sat on the toilet seat with her face in her palms.

"I can't do this anymore." She confessed.

"You're not telling me anything."

"Stop pretending like you don't know."

"Know what?"

"How I feel," She said as she attempted to hide the tears that were falling down her face.

"I kinda don't. We never really talked about it. How do you feel?"

"I don't want to have this conversation anymore. I think I'm just going to go home."

"Let me take you."

"No I need the walk." She said slipping out quickly. Dom was confused. He had no idea how to handle the situation at hand. They had broken the boundaries of simple friendship a few weeks before. Though he would normally walk away from a situation like this had it been any other girl. He would have never thought twice about someone dumping him. It had become routine. He often provoked it to get them out of the picture. Nonetheless, Letty was not just any girl. She was his friend, and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her.

6 weeks before

"This movie is ridiculous. There is no way the world is ending and this bitch is wearing heels the whole time!" Letty complained as the crew sat around and watched the latest blockbuster.

"Why are you this mad?" Dom asked.

"Because it's so unrealistic! All you men want to see is violence and sex. Look at these morons." She pointed out as Vince, Leon, and Jessie sat entranced during a partial nude scene.

"Hey I'm not moron!" Leon voiced about three minutes later once the scene was over.

"Letty you might be the most violent out of all of us and you have a vag." Vince said. "And that's a lot coming from me."

"I'm pretty sure you got me beat V. Nonetheless, that's exactly what I'm talking about. But does this film show the main chick doing that? No, she's just screaming and getting lost all the time and now she's fucking the main character for no reason. Like why can't they make her a badass that stands on her own?"

"You're asking for too much." Leon told her.

"If I ever made a movie, I'd let you write the lead female part. Does that make you feel better?" Dom offered patting her shoulder.

"You're so stupid." Letty said shoving him.

"I think I'm going to head out. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Vince said standing to leave.

"Take us with you. I left my car at the garage." Leon told him. The three men left leaving Letty and Dom alone in the living room. They were quite comfortable on the couch, cozy even. Letty's head rested on his shoulder. They had been sharing a blanket that Letty had hogged for most of the movie, which was nothing out of the ordinary. They had always been close and no one had ever given it a second thought, including they themselves.

"Wanna watch another one?" Dom asked her.

"I have nothing better to do, and I can hear my mom from here. I'll know when dinner is ready."

"Damn Ana's loud, but she's not that loud."

"That's because she's never screamed at you."

"Yes she has"

"That's just yelling. Trust me. I can hear her three blocks away." Letty said snuggling up as Dom laughed.

"Let's choose one that you can really pick apart. How about Cinderella?"

"I'm leaving. I'm so done with you." She responded sucking her teeth as he mocked her.

"Aight, aight, what about G.I Jane?"

"That's more like it Toretto."

"Demi Moore still looks hot even though she's bald."

"Why can't you just respect her for being a strong woman. Why is that so hard for all of you?"

"Just because I noticed she's hot doesn't mean I don't respect her. I respect you even though you have a nice…." Dom awkwardly cut off his sentence before getting out his complete thought.

"A nice…what?" Letty asked turning to face him curiously.

"I'm just gonna stay shut." He responded while he grabbed the remote.

"Have you been checking me out Dom? That's gross." She teased him.

"Nah, I mean I do have eyes. You know?"

"And what do these eyes see?"

"You're mffhidfjd" Dominic mumbled.

"What?"

"You're beautiful." He told her quietly.

"What?"

"Just forget it. Let's watch the movie. I like that idea better."

"You really think I'm beautiful?" Letty pressed.

"Well you're not ugly."

"Interesting, I never thought I'd hear that from you of all people."

"Why not? I have eyes just like everyone else."

"I don't know it's just a little weird. You always treat me like kid."

"You haven't been a kid for a long time, a very long time."

"So you noticed."

"What did you want me to do? Point at your chest and be like 'Hey you have boobs now. I wonder when those came in?'"

"Oh my God shut up."

"I can't just point things out in passing. Imagine, 'yo Let your ass looks great today by the way'." He told her hypothetically causing her to giggle.

"Alright calm down."

"I'm just saying."

"So should I start walking around showing all my assets since I'm so beautiful?"

"Not if you want permanent residence in basement you wont."

"That's kinda creepy man."

"I'm just looking out for you."

"So locking me in your basement is your solution?"

"I had to think on my feet. I wasn't expecting that."

"Oh my God. So you go straight into serial killer mode?"

"I'm not gonna kill anybody."

"How am I supposed to attract guys? I spend all my time with you goons so I never meet anybody."

"So you're looking for advice now?" Dom asked confused.

"I guess if you want to call it that."

"Alright. This is the most important rule of thumb. If they have a penis, don't trust them."

"Dom! That's not advice. You suck."

"Every guy likes different things."

"Well you definitely have a type."

"No I don't. I love all women."

"As long as their legs open within like five seconds of talking to them."

"Easy girls don't count. They're like a past time, like watching a game."

"What?"

"Those girls are just for when there's nothing better to do."

"You must get bored a lot huh?"

"I'm not that bad."

"Don't you know what people say about you?"

"It doesn't matter. Do they know me? No. So then that's irrelevant. I would expect you to think more of me."

"Not when it comes to women I don't. In all the years I've known you, you go through women more than Mia goes through outfits."

"Does that make me a bad guy? What's wrong with it?"

"You've had girls who fall for you hard, and then you hurt them."

"I've always been honest with every girl I get with. If they get feelings I can't return then that's not my problem."

"Dang"

"It's not like I'm cheating on anyone. They know what's up. I'm never gonna intentionally fuck someone over. How many girls don't get bored with me and bounce?"

"What about if you get with a girl, who doesn't know your past and meets the Dominic I see."

"You mean if I'm just myself without needing to worry about bullshit?"

"Yeah, like you said. I know you're good person. We wouldn't be friends if I didn't think you were."

"Wait. Was that a compliment?" Dom asked halting their conversation and reducing the gap between them.

"No, definitely not." Letty nervously dismissed his accusation.

"I think you were complimenting me."

"You must have misheard. That's impossible."

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but you said, 'You're a good person.'"

"Hmmm, did I? I can't remember. That conversation was so long ago. You still haven't answered my question."

"I forget what it was. I still can't get over the fact you called me a good person."

"What would you do with a girl who wasn't a racer chaser?"

"I'd treat her the way she deserves to be treated. It's that simple. I give respect where it's deserved."

"And how is that?"

"I don't know maybe more attention. It all depends if we have a connection or not. That type of shit should be mutual. You get me?"

"How do you know if you have a connection?" Dom leaned in to kiss her catching Letty by surprise. The electricity of his kiss made her stomach do so many summersaults that it could have won an Olympic medal.

"Like that", he answered pulling away and licking his lips.

"Why'd you do that?" Letty asked out of breath. In that moment she was so bewildered. Her head was spinning. She never fathomed any of it happening.

"Because you wanted me to and so did I." Dom told her, but she was struggling to make sense of his words.

"I-" Letty began before he cut her off with another kiss, a longer deeper kiss, that set in motion a roller-coaster of emotions she had not been prepared for.
