Wow… I cannot believe that this is over… this was my baby and I'm sad to end it… Enjoy.

"Can you believe we all actually made it?" Delanie yelled. The group cheered. They had all just received their high school diplomas except Thea, Mia and Nat of course.

"I never thought I'd live to see the day." Mr. Toretto joked. Dom pushed him playfully before pulling Letty close and giving her a sweet kiss.

"All of you get together so I can take a picture while you're all still in your cap and gowns." Delanie rolled her eyes at her mother but they all did what they were told.

This was one of those true Kodak moments. At the end you had Mia and Nat with their hands around each others waists. Then you had Thea who was kissing Leon's cheek while he grinned like an idiot with his thumb up. Next you had Dom and Letty having a sweet moment; with her head lying on his chest as they both smiled at the camera. Next to him was Jesse who was laughing hard with his diploma in the air. On the other end was Delanie and Vince but instead of staring at the camera they were looking into each others eyes; smiling. If you didn't know any better you'd think they were a happy couple but, they hadn't gotten back together… yet. Of course the team tried their hardest but with them being as stubborn as they were, they stayed friends. Of course they both still loved each other dearly and secretly, well maybe not secretly, wanted each other.

That night; the adults went down to Letty's house to have dinner and a movie with her parents while the kids stayed at the Toretto's for their graduation party. They had all changed out of their cap and gowns and were ready to party!

The girls had strategically picked out their outfits ahead of time so they could go straight to the party. Mia and Natalya had put on jeans with cute tops because they knew it was a safe bet with Dom and Delanie. They wouldn't get into trouble about what they were wearing. Thea had settled on a cute skirt and dressy halter while Letty kept it casual with her normal attire of baggy pants and a small top. Delanie had finally got her curves back these past weeks by eating up a storm and making up for lost time. So tonight she wore the outfit she wore back when she and Vince finally talked only this time the vest was a tight, perfect fit and the pants didn't need a belt to stay up. Inside she knew that she did this for Vince because he liked this particular outfit and to tease him more she left her curls down instead of the straight hair she had before. He hadn't seen her outfit yet since she had been wearing her cap and gown and she was excited to see his reaction.

The girls pulled up in front of the house and cheered loudly as they exited the car. The other party goers yelled too. Jesse came out of his car and walked up to Delanie; hugging her and lifting her up, spinning her around happily.

"We did it," Jesse yelled. "We fucking did it!"

"I know," She said sighing happily at him. Pulling away she left her forearms resting on his shoulders as she smiled lovingly at her friend. Catching a glimpse of her tattoo on her wrist she smiled at him. "I know…" She kissed his cheek.

Pulling away she linked arms with him as they walked into the house. The music was already going loud but this time they didn't bother to be quiet. They neighbors all knew what was going on and hell, the young ones were at the party! This was graduation day; their day and nothing would ruin that.

She was standing in front of the keg, filling her cup when someone invaded her space. She'd been in this particular position before so she could tell it was Vince who was pressed against her.

"Have I mentioned just how amazing this looks on you?" He growled close to her ear. She gasped slightly. Vince ran his finger over her hip and along her side. "You fill it out perfectly." He flirted shamelessly. Pulling away from her grinning; she turned around and smirked.

"You mean this?" She motioned towards her outfit. He nodded in reassurance; she definitely looked good. He was having a hard time keeping his paws to himself. "Eh, it's just something I threw together." She said innocently. He looked down at her hungrily. After having a staring contest for a short while she stepped forward and slowly put her hand in his pocket. All the while she stared up at him smugly. Vince licked his lips unconsciously; as his pulse quickened from the close contact. Backing away she held up his pack of cigarettes and smirked.

"Come on…" She turned around and walked out the back door. Chuckling, he shook his head before of course, following suit.

Letty stood from the doorway and shook her head. Would those two just get together already? Smiling, she walked back into the living room and began to dance with her man.

"So what are you doing from here?" She asked him as she exhaled the smoke.

"I don't know," He began. "School isn't for me, Mr. Toretto said I could work full time for him. I'll probably do that for now." She nodded. "What about you?"

"I don't know either; I was thinking maybe I would go to college. Maybe major in music management or something like that." She shrugged. "Then again, I could take a year off to do well… nothing." She chuckled.

Vince stepped off the porch and started his way towards the swing. She followed behind until they both plopped down on the swing. Enjoying the silence because they were just near each other and that was enough. Vince really regretted ever letting her go; he still had very strong feelings for her and by the way she flirted with him, she did also. So what was stopping them from getting back together? Who knows.

He looked over at her when he felt her grab his wrist and turn it. Running her finger over the tattoo; she smiled to herself before turning her wrist over and eyeing her own tattoo.

"I still can't believe we all did that." She shook her head. "It's really great; has a good story behind it."

"Yeah… Jesse is a smart one." Vince agreed. "When are you going to let me see your other tattoo?" He smiled down at her.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said sarcastically.

"Everyone has seen it except me… it's not fair." He smiled sweetly.

"Fine… you big baby." She playfully rolled her eyes.

He watched closely as she started unbuttoning her vest. "Damn, I just asked to see the tattoo but hey if you wanna strip too that's fine." He laughed when she swatted at him. Holding his hands up in defeat he motioned for her to finish. Turning her back to him she lifted up her shirt as best as she could. Vince saw where it started on her lower back. Running his fingers lightly over it he pulled her shirt up more so he could see the whole thing.

"Wow, Delanie that is just… wow." He mumbled; dumbfounded at the large piece of art that was on her back.

The left side of her lower back and shoulder blade was adorned with a large cherry blossom branch with many flowers decorating it. On one of the larger branches held too sparrows with their wings spread. It was obvious that one was a boy and one a girl.

"Look close V…" She whispered; looking at him over her shoulder.

Sitting up, he moved and sat at the edge of the swing so he could get closer to really look at it. At first he had no idea what she was talking about but after many minutes of studying it he finally realized what she was talking about. On the lady sparrows heart; there was a small 'V' and on the other, there was a 'D'. It wasn't very large but, it was there and it meant something; not only to her but him also. This gesture made him fall head over heals all over again. Letting the shirt fall back down he ran his palms up to her shoulders. He watched from his side view as she closed her eyes and leaned into him a little. Using his right hand he pulled her curls to the side and dipped his head down but before his lips made contact he paused and gave her a chance to object. When she didn't he planted a heavy peck under her ear. She gasped and tilted her head to the side giving him access. This time he nibbled the top of her ear before he pushed her to the side so he was facing her.

Meeting his gaze her tummy began to flutter and boil over with heat. Her hands began to shake just barely as he stared at her with such passion. She closed her eyes and leaned into him when he put his palm on her cheek. Finally she opened her eyes again; his stare was sort of unreadable. She obviously saw the love but, she was trying to figure out what was going on in his mind.

"I've missed you baby." He whispered before crashing his lips onto hers.

It had been too long; too long since they had been in each others arms. So long since they shared a passionate kiss. It had just been too fucking long but now, it was back. They were back. She whimpered lightly; her hands balled up in his shirt as he pushed her back into the swing. His hand had moved to the back of her neck where he grasped her curls just like he always loved to do. They were so glad to have this back that they didn't even bother fighting for control like true Vince-Delanie fashion. Finally he pulled away; out of breath, resting his forehead against hers. Neither had opened their eyes as they fought to regain oxygen.

"I love you," He whispered. "So much…"

"I love you too V." She replied lowly playing with his hair.

Finally they regained their composure and opened their eyes. Instantly they both grinned; Vince grabbed her roughly and stood, lifting her into the air. She giggled and leant down to kiss him again as he walked blindly to the back door. Pulling away he looked away so he could see his way into the house. He held her from her backside as she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist; with her arms around his neck. The music blasted as he walked through the door and into the kitchen. As they passed the cooler she reached out and grabbed them both a beer before Vince entered the living room.

"Holy shit! Their back everybody… whoo!!" Letty yelled loudly over the music. People stopped and stared for a second before cheering and returning to their previous activities. Letty and Thea walked up to them along with Leon and Dom who both gave V a manly pat on the back. "I must say it took you guys far too long…" Let smiled.

"Yeah, I was getting pretty annoyed." Thea teased. Delanie blushed before leaning down to kiss him again. She couldn't help herself, they hadn't touched each other in so long and she wanted nothing more than to drag him downstairs and have her way but, for now she'd behave.

Behind Vince, Delanie spotted the familiar blonde standing in the corner; glaring at the two of them. Smiling sweet, she lifted up her hand and flicked off Taylor. The blonde scoffed and stomped off towards her friends. Looking at Vince's confused look as to why she was laughing, she just shook her head and kissed him yet again.

After that they partied… boy did they party. Finally around four in the morning they started kicking people out since they were still going. Of course they found everyone rides home because a lot were pretty drunk. Once it was just the team they threw themselves on the couch to just rest for a little while. Vince and Delanie had stopped drinking at around ten so they were sober and ready to get out of here to spend time with each other.

"Is it cool if Natalya stays?" Delanie asked Dom who quickly nodded. Mia and Nat had fallen asleep upstairs hours ago. "Okay," Delanie stood. "I'm going home…" She waved and held her hand out for Vince to follow. Giving one last wave they left the house and made their way to Delanie's.

They walked in quietly since her mother would be asleep. They walked up the stairs in the dark; hand in hand. Opening her room door she flicked on the light and threw her keys on her dresser. Instantly it became dark again. She turned around and almost screamed when Vince charged at her. Giggling, he threw on the bed and began tickling her. He kicked off his shoes and she followed suit. His hands worked his way to the buttons of her vest; flicking them open he removed it from her body. Dipping down he caught her lips in a deep kiss. All silliness flew out the window as passion took over. They both needed and wanted each other so bad. Tonight was different; you could feel it. As long as they were together they had yet to take that final step and make love but, tonight, tonight was the night they would.

Neither of them was in a rush, they took their time getting reacquainted with each other. Savoring the touch and the feeling of the bodies that were so familiar. Vince worked his hand under her shirt; running his rough palm over her soft, flat stomach before grasping her hip. Pulling her forward she sat up; finding the hem of her shirt he lifted slowly. She lifted her arms so he could remove it. He openly stared down at her not caring. Laying her back down he kissed and sucked on her neck; giving her pulse point extra attention. Reaching down to the button of her pants, he popped it open before kissing her again. Moving further down the bed; he gripped her pants and tugged gently until her boy shorts were revealed; he growled and leaned down to kiss her hip.

"Gorgeous…" He murmured before biting her softly above her panty line.

Working his way back up he left a trail of wet kisses until he found her mouth once again for it seemed the millionth time tonight. Not breaking the kiss she pushed him forward so they were both sitting up; grabbing the bottom of his shirt she tugged it up and over his head; breaking the kiss only briefly before pushing him onto the bed. Straddling him, she pinned him softly to the bed, giggling before she sat up and looked into her lover's eyes.

It was foreign so her gaze caught it instantly. It was dark in the room but with the little bit of moonlight that crept through her blinds she saw that he too had another tattoo. Her eyes adjusted and finally focused on it. Slowly her eyes widened in awe. Running her fingers over the small tattoo. Her mouth opened and shut multiple times. There, over his heart in simple, elegant script read, 'Dimples'. Leaning down, she kissed it lightly before meeting his smile; one that she loved so much.

Leaning down she caught him in a hard rough kiss. The need and want was over powering and she could wait no longer. She allowed him to turn them over so he was on top once again. Slowly but eagerly the rest of the clothing was shed. The love that was radiating from her stole the breath right out of her. She couldn't believe it; all of it. They were meant to be and now that was for sure. They were in love; in lust. Untouchable. She traced her finger over the tattoo once more before she looked into his hungry eyes. Wrapping her legs around his waist; she pulled him closer. Biting her lip, she whimpered and nodded slightly. He kissed her once more and waited no longer…
