Hey guys my muse has been stubborn all day and left me to be irritable but she eventually came back to me in the form of frozen yogurt so here's my new update enjoy!
Los Angeles, the Ortiz household (Leticia's still 4)
"Leticia hold still, I gave you a lollipop now let me braid your hair." Maria Ortiz said irritated with her daughter's stubbornness. She really was her father's daughter; she wanted to be just like her daddy, who is a mechanic, when she grew up. Even though she didn't exactly know what cars were or how they worked whenever her daddy took her to work with him and he explained cars to her you couldn't get her to stop smiling, until you told her she had to take a bath.
Leticia squirmed in her chair uncomfortable with having to sit still for so long. That tall man across the street had invited them over for a barbeque he said it was because he wanted his son to meet a little spit fire like Leticia; she wasn't sure what that meant but she was looking forward to the chicken, just not her mother fussing over her. Her mom knew she was going to mess her hair up so why does she bother braiding it? The only thing keeping her in her chair was the lollipop.
Los Angeles, the Toretto household (Dominic is still 7)
"But Dad, you promised you'd drive me around the race track today! I don't want to have dinner with some random family I barely even know," Dominic whined.
"Dominic I want you to meet this little girl I think you'll really like her. She'll be good for you." Anthony replied not even looking up from his barbequing chicken. Dom sighed, it's not like he's every going to have anything to do with this kid in the future so why should he waste his time hanging out with her now?"
The Toretto's Backyard
"Nice to see you again Maria, Leticia, this is my son Dominic," Anthony said pointing to the young boy playing with some hot wheels cars, he looked up, seemed to get bored with the family and he refocused on his hot wheels. Anthony just shook his head knowing someday his son will understand his motives. "And this is my daughter Mia," he said motioning to the little girl in her high chair playing with a little teddy bear.
"It's nice to see you too Anthony," Maria said smiling, "and this is my husband Juan." Motioning to the man behind her, "Juan this is Anthony the man I was telling you about."
"Hey man it's nice to meet you, I'm glad you caught our daughter before she got herself into any real troubled." Juan said smiling and extending his hand. Anthony took it and smiled remembering the events of when he first met Leticia.
The whole time that the adults had this exchange Letty was focusing on Dominic and the hot wheels he was playing with, she wanted to go that fast one day. She started squirming in her mother's arms she'd put her down. Once she was released she walked over to where Dominic was,
"Play?" Letty asked pointing to the little cars. Dom just kept his head down hoping that if he ignored her she'd leave him alone. Letty furrowed her eyebrows and just looked confused. So she said it again.
"Play?" Dominic sighed, and looked up ready to tell the little brat off, but then he looked into her auburn eyes and couldn't help but give in to what the little girl wanted.
"Yeah sure here." He said handing her his red Nissan 350sz. She smiled and took it. Dominic just watched her, "My name's Dominic by the way." She looked up smiling again.
"Domineek!" She said with a huge grin like she'd just won something.
"Dominic," he said emphasizing the last two letters. Little Leticia looked confused for a few seconds her eyebrows furrowed again.
"Domineek?" She asked hopefully.
"Dominic," he said again getting a little bit irritated. Letty frowned again in confusion then she smiled again.
"Dom!" She said smiling proud of herself for coming up with an easier name for him. Dominic just sighed not wanting to argue with her anymore.
"Yeah sure, and what's your name?" He asked, since he might need to know in case his dad decided to quiz him on this later. The little girl smiled.
"Leticia," she said but she was already focused on the Nissan and wasn't paying much attention.
"That's a mouthful," Dom said under his breath, "how 'bout I just call you Letty?" He asked, the little girl looked up and just smiled and nodded. She then zipped the little hot wheels through its big loop and smiled so widely it looked like her mouth was half of her face. Huh, Dom thought to himself, this girl loves to go fast.
