The next morning, Dom felt amazing. He felt complete, even a lightweight. He snorted at the thought. It was day already. Checking the time, he was never up this early. Reaching for Letty, he didn't feel anything. She wasn't there, beside him like she was last night.

Had it been a dream? No, he felt post-coitus. It all had happened. So, where was she? Letty wasn't a morning person herself. Checking the bathroom, she wasn't there either. Her clothes weren't on the room floor like yesterday. Leaning against the wall, Dom thought the worst.

She regretted. She left because she didn't want to face him. Letty wouldn't look at him anymore. They friendship was ruined because of the one thing he always wanted to do.

Had it been a mistake? Dom didn't think so. He felt amazing last night, but now he felt like crap. His whole body felt sore, like he had been hit by a truck. That same weight was falling on his shoulders again.

He had to see her; Dom had to talk to Letty. But would she let him? He had too many question and almost no answers. But he had to risk it. Throwing a shirt over his head, he jumped into the same jeans he was wearing last night. Barefoot, he walked down the stairs.

The house was silent. It was Sunday anyway. Dom took a deep breath, closing his eyes. When he walked inside the kitchen, he was expecting to find it empty. But there he ran into Letty and Mia. Mia was making coffee and Letty was sitting, probably they were talking.

About last night? Maybe. Dom knew Letty and Mia were good friends, so he should have seen it coming.

What he didn't see coming, was Letty smile to him. Just like Mia, Letty was smiling up at him, but there was something different there. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. He was worried she would push him away now.

But she didn't. There was this little pink on her cheeks, but she didn't tear his eyes from him too. She was still smiling. It made Dom smile. Somewhere in his mind, he was sure he'd seen Mia walk out of the kitchen, leaving them alone.

Dom didn't quite know what to say. He was freaking out on the inside, but he wouldn't let it show on the outside. But Letty could see it. She was always able to read him like an open book. Like she was reading him right now. She laughed, asking him to sit next to her. He did as he was told, still not looking her in the eyes.

She touched him in the arm, making him look at her right away. She smiled, resting her chin on the hand that was on his shirt. Letty's face was close to Dom's. Then, she kissed him. It caught Dom by surprise. He kissed back, throwing his arms around her waist. When Letty pulled away, their foreheads rested against one another.

Dom knew, in that very moment, that they were good. He had no idea what they were. Were they serious? In Dom's opinion, having sex was supposed to make things serious, right? Not that it applied to him, but he was willing to try for Letty.

The mood between them changed as soon as they kissed again. Dom could do it all day. It made him smile. Then, out of nowhere, everybody showed up for breakfast. Dom didn't have time to take his arms away from Letty. Nobody cared for that fact. They just wished them a good-morning. Letty looked at Dom with an arched eyebrow. He shrugged, thankful that the guys weren't making any jokes.

Tonight was race night. It made Letty cringe. Dom was always surrounded by race whores, so she couldn't help but think that it would happen again. But then she would think back at how her day went by and she would smile. Smile like an idiot.

They had had sex last night, there was no denying that. But, for some reason, things didn't get weird like she thought they would. For some reason, she didn't feel embarrassed when he showed up. She felt safe in his strong arms. She felt loved whenever his lips were on hers.

She wouldn't allow any kind of miserable thoughts. She wouldn't let them ruin her day.

By night time, everybody was ready. Letty wasn't going to race, but Dom would. When everybody was out, Dom was waiting for her on the door step; the front door was still open. She aimed for her car keys, but Dom stopped her.

"Mia is going with Vince tonight…" Dom harrumphed, unable to tear his eyes from Letty's outfit. She looked really good "… I thought… you could… come with me"

Letty smiled at how uncomfortable Dom seemed to be. She knew he wasn't the kind to date. This morning, she wasn't sure what was going to happen, but the fact that things were cool made her relax. Dom was trying.

"Sure"

At the races, all eyes were on them as soon as they arrived. Maybe because Letty arrived in Dom's car. Maybe because Dom hugged her waist when they exited the car. Maybe because Dom kissed her in front of everybody, when he was going to chat with the other racers.

Letty had always wondered about how Dom would act with her. Of course, Letty had never thought this would happen. The sex, the kisses, the cute talking. Dom wasn't that kind of guy at all, but Letty was beyond satisfied with what she was discovering about him.

Letty and Mia kept talking to the small amount of decent girls. They kept asking and asking. Lots of them already had been with Dom, Letty knew and it would make her nervous, but she tried to play it cool. Also, lots of them had tried to have something with him, and Letty seemed to be the one who had gotten the closest.

The biggest race of the night was approaching. Letty found the guy among their cars, Dom wasn't drinking, but he seemed tires. It was really late already. Dom smiled as soon as Letty came into view. She could hear some jokes, but she didn't pay any attention. It was hard to pay any attention to the others when she had Dom hugging her so damn close.

"You don't seem ready to race" Letty whispered in his ear and all Dom did was nod. He rested his head against her shoulder, inhaling her perfect scent "I can go, if you want"

Dom for a moment, thought about it. He knew he shouldn't let her drive so late at night, but he knew she was good enough for his car. Although nobody but him had ever driven it, letting Letty do it seemed to be quite a good start.

Giving her the keys, Dom could feel everybody's eyes while he led her to his car. Dom watched with a smirk while Letty would have trouble rearranging the car seat. She gave him the tongue and suddenly Dom knelt down, kissing her lips through the open window. It took everybody off guard. The kiss was so intense it could take any girl to the clouds. Letty smiled when Dom pulled away.

Driving Dom's car in a race meant a lot to her. Even in her deepest thoughts about how far a relationship with Dom could go, driving his car always seemed to be way off limits.

Dom was still there, talking to her.

"Hold the NOS as long as you can, this one's faster than the ones you've tried before, so be careful. The wheel has been calibrated recently, so it might be a little rough still".

"All good, I should be fine"

"Oh, I know you'll be fine, I'm just… I'll be at the finish line" he softly smiled, kissing her lightly on the lips. Dom was still in war at himself. He knew this was risky, but he trusted Letty like hell. After last night… God, Dom wouldn't let those memories come to his mind for now. He had to focus on her racing.

So he waited. And waited. And waited. It felt like ages until he heard the roar of motors far away from them. He closed his eyes, trying to concentrate although everybody was cheering.

Then a smile found it's way to his lips. He didn't have to look to see that Letty had the first place. He would recognize that engine anywhere. And when he did open his eyes, he finally understood what his father meant when Dom won his first race. He was proud. Dom had taught some shit to Letty over the years; she was a Toretto, after all. But she knew lots and lots way before they bumped into each other.

When she crossed the finish line, Letty brought the car to a stop. All those people surrounded the car, cheering and congratulating her for winning in Dom's car. They all knew what she was capable of, so all it took was Dom's car to overwhelm them even more.

But she didn't give a damn to all those people. There was just one face she wanted to see. The face of the owner of the car keys she was holding. Hector placed the money on her hands. Not long after, Letty found Dom in the crowd. And he was smiling. Proudly smiling like she had accomplished the world.

And she neared him, Dom practically threw the money to Jesse, grabbing Letty by the waist and roasting her up. It made Letty gasp and laugh. On the way down, Letty threw he arms around Dom's neck, feeling his strong arms put her down slowly.

They didn't feel like partying today. Mia had collage and they all had to be at the garage so they just decided to go home. Dom and Letty were on his car, the silence was good.

"You did really well today"

"Were you expecting anything different?" Letty smiled teasingly at him, and Dom didn't have to take his eyes off the road to know she wasn't mad or anything.

"No, I knew you'd win"

"Thought so" Dom smiled, opening the door for Letty "who knew you were such a gentleman, Toretto" she teased again, making her way to the stairs and into her room.

Dom could have found a dozen answers to that, but he decided to let her have the final word. Dom walked into the kitchen, saying to good-nights to the guys. Dom walked up the stair to his room, taking a shower. And he walked out, his eyes fell on the bed.

The bed where they were both laying down last night. Where all those things had been done, no words had been spoken.

Dom smiled. He definitively liked the way things had tuned out today. When he remembered all the infinite ways he felt, the fear, the doubts…

Letty walked in, taking him by surprise. He was still completely naked. Well, Letty was surprised at the scene, but, for some reason, she just felt like laughing. And so she did. She walked inside, sitting on the bed while Dom would finish getting dressed with a grin on his face.

"Like what you see?"

"Oh, I'm just admiring the view, don't mind me"

Dom smiled, throwing the wet towel on the bathroom somewhere. Letty was now standing, waiting for him to come back. When Dom did pay more attention to what she was wearing, he saw only a t-shirt. Maybe some undergarments, but he wasn't sure.

"I just thought I should stop by and say a proper good-night"

"Yeah, we have to be up early tomorrow"

"Don't even mention it, I'll just pass out in bed"

"Well, I do remember me not letting you get proper sleep last night" Dom had a teasing smirk on his lips, loving to see the blood rush to her face. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and Letty was more than happy to take a step closer to him.

"Well, I'm not complaining about that. I do remember some of that myself"

Dom smiled, without being able to hold himself back anymore. His lips pressed against hers, letting Letty take full control. When he pulled away, he just felt like begging her to stay with him again.

"You know… my bed felt a lot better with you in it…"

"Is that an invite?"

"Maybe…"
