It's 1998 and it's the first date. He was nervous to ask her out after crashing into her car. He wanted to make it up to her and he was attracted to her. He wasn't about the champagne and suits. He wanted to do something simple. He took her to this cute little diner by the pier. Everyone would come to Sammy's, whether you had money or had none. Everyone loved the food and you felt right at home. It was designed in a sixty's style with booths and even a jukebox. He was in a denim shirt and jeans while Letty wore a tan creme top with an olive green denim skirt. They sat across from each other in a booth and just stared at the menu for a while.
"So, do you bring all your girls her on a first date?"
"No. You're the first I've actually asked out on a date."
"Really?"
"Really."
A waitress came up to the table.
"What can I get you two?"
"I'll just have a burger, fries, and a coke."
"And you miss."
"I'll have a double burger with extra bacon, a plate of fries, and a orange soda. Can I get a vanilla milkshake for dessert?"
"You got it. I'll have your drinks right out."
She takes their menus and walks over to the register to put in the order to the kitchen.
"A girl with an appitite."
"You calling me fat now?"
"No. It's just the only thing I see pretty girls eat are carrots and celery sticks."
"So you're calling me ugly?"
"No. That's not where I'm getting at-"
"Relax, I'm messing with you."
"Hearty eater and can take a joke."
She laughs at his reaction. He didn't expect for it to go this well and to be enjoy spending time with her. She wasn't one of those girls he can take to the bar and have his way with at the end of the night. She was the kind of girl that deserved to be catered to. The kind of girl he wants to take on a second date. The waitress comes back with their food and they dive right in. They talk about their childhoods, cars, and what they want in life.
"So, where do you see yourself in ten years?" She says as she dips her fries into her shake.
"Hopefully still running the shop. Maybe get a bigger house with a wife and kids someday. What about you?"
"I don't know. I just want my life to be full of adventure but I want someone to share those moments with."
"What kind of adventures?"
"To travel, go around the world, have a family."
"Even kids?"
"Yeah. At least three, two boys and a girl."
"At least. You want a big family?"
"Yeah I do. Do you want a big family?"
"As many as possible."
"Well I can tell you something." She leans over to come close to his face.
"What?" He leans over the table and there's only an inch of space between their faces.
"I'm not getting pregnant tonight so I guess it's just you and your hand Toretto." She says as he had been rubbing her shoulder during their conversation.
"You're not like the others you know."
"Well what am I like?"
"Someone who goes by her own rules."
"I break them sometimes."
"When did you?"
"Right now."
"How?"
"Because I'm gonna let you kiss me."
He follows suit and closes the gap between them with his lips pressing onto hers. It was slow but soft to touch. He pushes her hair back and caresses her cheek as she smiled into the kiss. After that night, Sammy's became their place.
