Chapter 10
3rd PPOV
…."I DO." The crowd gasped; while Welsh waved her hand in dismissal and flopped back into her seat. "I don't care what he says, he don't mean that shit!" Leon heard and started snickering and Letty glared at her in shock. "Francine!" Letty was trying to act like Dom's answer wasn't affecting her. And she was pulling it off very well even though on the inside she had curled up and died.
Letty told herself that it was over, even if she did still love Dom…he had chosen Nicole over her. She would have to just live with that for the rest of her life. The priest cleared his throat and spoke with a booming voice.
"By the power invested in me, by the state of California. I now pronounce you husband and wife…you may now kiss the bride," Dom smirked and Nicole giggled. They kissed for about half a minute, than the priest said. "Face the crowd. May I present to you…Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Toretto!"
Leon tightened his lips, Mia's eyes watered, Vince shook his head at Letty, and Welsh sucked her teeth. "That's your man…" she spat and then got out of her seat and went outside, too irritated to watch Dom make a fool of himself.
As Dom and Nicole walked down the aisle, Dom made eye contact with Letty. He raised one eyebrow at her, as if asking, "Why didn't you stop me?" then he turned his attention back to the cameras and the crowd. Letty quickly exited the sanctuary and headed to the restroom.
She checked to see if the stools were occupied; Satisfied that they weren't, she leaned against the wall and squeezed her eyes shut. Feeling a vice grip in her chest, she started breathing deeply. Her eyes opened, looking skyward as she whispered. "Help me get through this…please?"
Letty let her eyelids fluttered to the ground and sniffed softly as silent tears slid down her cheeks. The door opened and Letty wiped the tears off her face and acted like she was fixing her mascara. Mia walked up to the counter, washing her hands, looking at Letty in the mirror with a glare on her face.
Mia turned the water off, dried her hands, and then knocked her fist on the counter top, shaking her head. "You know, you can be a real bitch sometimes." Letty froze and looked at Mia, who rolled her eyes and just walked out the door without giving Letty a chance to respond.
~3 Weeks Later~
Letty's POV
It has been an odd three weeks since the wedding. Francine was mad at me for about a week, but she finally got over it, realizing that it really was over for Dom and I: He was a married man, with a son…by Nicole! They came back from their honeymoon about a week ago, but I hadn't seen either of them.
I've started dating Keith, who is an absolute sweetheart. He's got this thing about him. I can't explain it, maybe it was that he was so different from Dom, but I think we're gonna work. Mia had something stuck up her ass since the wedding and we hadn't talked since. It was kinda weird at first; being on Mia's bad side, but I got use to it.
Until yesterday, she called me and apologized for how she had been acting for the past three weeks and came up with this master plan on how to get Dom back! What a joke huh!? Well right now I'm sitting at the table at the restaurant, Houston's, listening to Keith talk about…something.
Thirty minutes later, out of the corner of my eye I see Dom and Nicole walk through the door. They were holding hands and smiling. I turned my face the opposite direction, trying to act very interested in my food. "Letty, Is that you?" I heard Dom's husky, deep voice.
I closed my eyes for a second before turning around. I had to get my game face on. Facing them I got this huge fake smile on my face and chuckled. "Hey!" Dom looked me up and down and grinned. "You look great, how ya been?" I shrugged. "Livin'. How 'bout you-how was the honeymoon?"
Nicole wrapped an arm around Dom's waist and kissed his cheek. "It was great. Thanks for asking." Keith cleared his throat and I glanced at him. "Oh, um. Keith this is Dominic Toretto and his wife…Nicole. Dom, Nicole, this is Keith Conaway…my boyfriend."
Nicole's smile widened, she laughed and shook his hand. "Congrats, wow Letty. I didn't know you had it in you," I gave her a menacing smile. That was so an insult, that bitch! "Yah well, everyone's full of surprise…aren't they?" I asked, never taking my eyes off hers. Her smile stayed in place, but she quickly dropped the subject and looked at the floor.
Dom smiled at Keith and I: saying they'd better get to their table or they lose their reservations (Considering it was a Saturday night and this place was packed) After their departure Keith looked at me, questioningly. "Ex?" I was about to deny it, but figured he'd see right through it…or just ask Welsh!
So I nodded and shrugged. "Yeah, but we've been over for a while, as you can tell. Nothing there anymore, so don't worry about it," Keith raised an eyebrow. "Who said I was worrying?" I paused and frowned stuttering out. "No one, I'm just saying is all…because you DONT have to worry... that's it." Keith watched me for a minute then slowly smirked. "Hmmm…okay."
