Letty pulled back a fist, but stopped short when she saw Dom's grinning face. She almost dropped her arm, but then shifted and punched him in the gut anyway. He let out a small 'oof', and grabbed her arm.

"What the hell Letty!"

"What the hell, Dom! You fucking startled me, how the hell was I supposed to know you weren't…just don't DO that okay?" she ordered.

Dom felt instantly guilty, "Oh jeez Let, I'm sorry. I didn't think."

She turned away, brushing him off, "Yeah, whatever."

Grabbing her arm and pulling her to him, he looked down into her face, "Hey, don't do that. Come on, I'm sorry baby."

Looking into his gorgeous eyes, she couldn't help but grin a little. Here they were, at her own birthday party, sneaking around. She let out a laugh. He took that to be a good sign.

Leaning down, his arms around her slim waist, he kissed her chastely. When he pulled away, she left her eyes closed, reveling in his touch. "Happy birthday, Let."

"Hmm. Thank you." Opening her eyes, she smiled at him. Despite the dark, he smiled back.

"I love you so much."

Letty held him a little tighter at that. She knew he loved her, but he didn't say it often. He just wasn't the emotional type. That was part of the reason she loved him, but it was nice to hear it sometimes too.

"Te amo, Dominic. Seimpre."

After a few more intense kisses, Dom pulled away.

"You should be at the party, it is for you after all." he laughed, but she didn't.

"I'd rather stay here."

Looking down into her sweet face, Dom felt his blood rushing to a part of his body that he rather wished it wouldn't. He shook his head, and stated, "Letty, baby, I wish we could, but any more of this and I'm gonna get us in some trouble."

"So?"

Letty knew exactly what he meant, and she didn't care. She loved him, and he loved her. She wanted him. Now.

"So, I'm not gonna do this, Let. Now now, not like this. Not with all of our friends waiting for you. It's not the right time." he told her, wrestling with his own urges.

Letty's eyes narrowed. "Oh, so you get to decide when it's the right 'time' for us? What about me, don't I get a say?"

Sighing, he could see one of her infamous tantrums coming. "Letty, of course you do. But right now, I'm the one that's gonna decide, because I'm the one who could get put in jail, not you."

Screwing her face up, she accused, "Oh, so what you think I'm gonna tell someone if we did? What the fuck Dominic!"

The man ran his hand over his smooth head, trying to find a way out of the growing argument, "No! God damn it Leticia! When we do this, I'm not gonna want to stop. I can barely keep my damn hands off you as is! So when we do, it's gonna get a lot harder to keep this thing quiet!"

Letty glared at him, "This thing? That's great Dom, it's good to know where we stand. We're a thing. So what, have you been off fucking other girls? God knows you're not coming to me for it, so where exactly are you going? You know what, that's fine, do what you've gotta do man. I'm sick of this shit."

Letty stalked around the corner, leaving Dom to try and understand what just happened. How the hell had such a great day, turn so bad?
