It was official, Dom and Letty were a couple! Everyone in the neighborhood knew it and everyone in the high school knew it. Whenever Dom came to pick Letty up from high school people would stop and stare and today was no different. When he picked her up and kissed her everyone stared. They didn't care though, they were in love and that was all that mattered to them.

"Are you hungry?"
"You bet, I didn't have lunch I was finishing some last minute assignments"
"How does a late lunch sound?"
"It's like music to my ears"

Dom drove to the nearest diner. They found a seat and ordered their meals. Letty was having a grilled cheese sandwich with a peanut butter milkshake and Dom was having a chicken burger with a side of fries and a cherry soda. The waitress brought their food and they started eating and sharing their food together.

"Dom, I need to tell you something"

"Go ahead"

"A few weeks before I met you I applied to three different automotive universities"
"That's great!"
"It is but their all really far away" she said with sad eyes.

"Letty, you're not going to lose me, we will see each other. You'll be back for holidays and I'll come and visit you every month"

"That's not all, graduation is in two weeks and I still haven't heard from any of those universities" she said.

Dom got out from his seat and sat next to her, wrapping his hand around her shoulders.

"They're all going to take you in, I know they are. They'd be stupid not to" he said as he kissed her cheek. She smiled but inside she was worried and scared. She tried to block out those thoughts but it still showed on her face.

Dom noticed it instantly and knew what to do. He threw a couple of dollars on the table and took her out of the diner.

"Where are you taking me Dom?"
"You'll see"

They drove pass Echo Park.

"You taking me back home?"

Dom just shook his head, his eyes focused on the road ahead.

After about 5 minutes they reached a huge patch of land with many people there. He grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer towards him and brought her through the crowd. Everyone was covered in coloured powder: red, blue, yellow, green, pink, purple all sorts of color. People threw color on her and Dom. She grabbed a handful of green powder and threw it on Dom.

She quickly ran but Dom caught up to her, rubbed her face with pink coloured powder as he spun her around which made her squeal.
"It's called Holi, it's an Indian celebration, people throw colour and celebrate the festival of colours and the festival of love"

"It's absolutely amazing, I've never seen anything like this"
"Hopefully you'll feel better"
"Its working, thank you" she said as she gave him a side hug.

They danced to various Bollywood songs, they threw colour onto each other, took some pictures and even drank thandai, a sweet creamy milk flavoured with nuts and mixed with spices such as cardamom, fennel, rose petals and poppy seeds. They enjoyed the drink and asked for 2 more glasses.

After more colour throwing Dom took off his shirt revealing his toned physique and lifted Letty onto his back. They had a blast. Letty was feeling much better so much so she forgot about the application.

All of a sudden Letty felt raindrops on her arm but ignored it. Then it started raining heavily. Letty got down and started running for shelter but Dom caught her arm and pulled her towards him. His hands rested on her waist as he kissed her. The rain drenching her clothes and their clothes but they didn't mind, they were engrossed with each other's lips.
...

Dom and Letty laughed as they entered her house. She gave him a towel to dry off and then walked towards the kitchen island. Before Ana goes for her night shift she takes all the mail and puts it on the kitchen island so that she could read it in the morning. Letty skimmed through and found three envelopes for her. She grabbed them and hurried of to Dom. She dropped the envelopes onto a chair.
"Are those...?"
"Yes, they are" she answered.
"Which one are you going to open first?"
"Virginia" she said as she opened the envelope. She read through and looked at Dom.
"I got in" she said almost like a whisper.
"That's fantastic, we gotta..."
"Let's not celebrate yet, Virginia is plan B let me open Michigan that's the one I really want to get into"

She opened the envelope and read through the parchment. She jumped into Dom's arms and hugged him tightly. "I GOT IN!" she said with excitement. He lifted her up and spun her around, his dark eyes on hers. He brushed her lips with his. He grinned and pressed his mouth to hers. He lifted her up onto the kitchen island, taking her face in his warm palms and kissed her again, this time firmer. For a few minutes they kissed, her hands gripped his back as their kiss deepened. And when they were done, Dom kissed her nose.

"I love you Letty" he whispered.
"I love you more Dominic"
