Thanks for the reviews.
Chapter 14
Dom hadn't seen Vince around Mia's house for nearly a week, he knew just how much Mia was hurting and as much as he didn't want to help her out he also didn't want to see her hurting.
"Hey bro." Vince let Dom into his house. It was surprisingly clean and organized, with a few dolls on the couch.
"Hey, haven't seen you around the house, so I thought I'd come see how your holding up." Dom took a seat on the couch and Vince sat on one of the reclining chairs.
"I've been better."
"Yeah, look I came to ask you to be my best men at my wedding." Dom looked at Vince, studying him a bit.
"Yeah man, no problem."
"Just to let you know Mia will be the maid of honor." Vince nodded, he'd expected it. "Look V, I didn't just come to ask you that."
"I figured as much."
"Give her a chance Vince, I know she made a big mistake. She shouldn't have been with the three of you at the same time. And as much as I would rather not have Mia date you or anyone else, she has picked you. I'd rather see her happy then sad, or at least work things out with her. You two have a child together and I expect you to take share in that responsibility."
"Don't worry about Anthony, I'll make sure he's taken care of. As for Mia, I just cant talk to her now. She's been doing this all our lives Dom. Always yanking my chain, she thinks this is a game but it's not and as much as it hurts her it also hurts me. Tell me you wouldn't be mad if Letty had done the same to you. You'd have stopped trying a long time ago. I love Mia but what she did that's just low." Vince took in Dom's reaction, but he looked calm.
"You have as much fault as she does and don't you deny it. All she did was kiss Brian here and there. Yeah they dated and they had kids together, but when you started chasing after her she was married and you knew that. So don't go acting like this all on her, because it's not. Get it together man, she loves you just as much as you love her. Don't let her get away now that you have her in your hands Vince. Because if you do she just might not come back to you." Dom stood up and walked out the door leaving Vince to think.
"Okay so I talked to the Sunset Restaurant in Malibu, they have an opening on Friday four weeks from now. The ceremony can be out on the beach as the sun sets and then we can go inside for the reception." Mia told Letty.
"Four weeks, do you think that's enough time?" Letty cocked her eyebrow at Mia, there was so much to do.
"Yes it's enough time. Just tell me the colors that you want, we can go take a look at the dress and you can tell me who you want to invite."
"Ugh…I don't want over the top wedding. I want something simple, but I don't know about the guest list." Letty sighed.
"Well it can be just us, but my grandma would probably be pissed if she hadn't been invited." Mia pointed out raising both her eyebrows. "Since Dominic is her favorite grandson."
"I know, I just…I don't know if we should also invite you know like Hector and them."
"Well you know money isn't a problem according to Dominic. I say you go with inviting close family friends, your family and our family."
"As far as my family goes, maybe just my aunt, but you should invite your grandma and aunts and uncles." Letty frowned a bit in thought. "Then ask Dom about the racing people. Oh but you have to invite Marisol and Maritza cause they'll kill me if we don't."
"Ok, what colors do you want?" Mia was writing everything on a notebook.
"Um, red and white." Letty nodded, "No maybe be fuchsia…no blue…no red…yeah red."
"Are you going to wear white?"
"Yeah and the guys can wear black with that thing red." Letty said, explaining with her hands about the cummerbund.
"Ok. When do you want to go dress shopping?"
Letty frowned, "I don't know… I don't even want to do this. Cant I just marry him and get it over with?"
"No! I have not been waiting 11 years for you two to get married and not get to throw a big party. We need to celebrate your wedding, you'll love it and you'll be able to have beautiful memories with the once you love."
"But I love you guys…why cant it just be simple?" Letty pouted.
"You weren't here for my wedding."
"I know…ok do what you want." Letty felt somewhat guilty for not being at Mia's wedding.
"So what about music…"
"Ugh Mia, just pick out whatever you think fits us. You know both of us, so you decide."
"Ok then. The bridesmaids are going to be the girls?"
"Yeah…" Letty groaned, she'd had enough. She could careless at this point and they'd only been discussing the wedding for a few minutes. "Look you deal with it, I'm going to see if Ethan is up."
"Okay." Mia said happily.
Dom walked into the house to find Mia writing furiously in a notebook.
"What are you doing?" He asked as he took a seat near her.
"I'm preparing your wedding."
"Oh…" Dom was about to get up and leave before she could get him involved but she stopped him.
"Ah no, you stay! I need to know if you have the wedding rings? Have you told V about being the best men? Have you picked out who you what to invite?"
"Whoa…hold on too many questions. I don't have the rings, I told V, and Letty should invite who she wants. I don't even know what day the wedding is." he frowned.
"The wedding is in four weeks."
"What!?" he was shocked he thought it would take a couple of months. Not that he minded anyways.
"Well the restaurant had an opening for Friday in four weeks, if we didn't take it the next opening isn't until November and that's a long time from now. Letty says that you should pick out who you want to invite from the racing scene."
"Fine I'll make you a list later." He yawned.
"Not later, I want it by Wednesday. The restaurant needs to know how many guest will be there."
"Ok fine." Dom got up and left, he really wasn't into planning this whole thing out. He went out to the backyard where Letty sat watching the girls play. She had Ethan covered up with a blanket and was seating on the stairs. Dominic sat next to her and watched the girls for awhile before speaking up.
"Mia's going a little overboard with this whole wedding."
"Yeah I know, but it beats me having to deal with it." She grinned, Dom shook his head and grinned.
"If it was up to me, I'd take you to a secluded island where we could get married and it would just be you, me and the judge or whatever." he kissed her lips softly.
"Ewwwwwww!" came all five little voices, as all the girls stopped what they where doing and watched them.
Both Dom and Letty laughed. Leon and Layla walked up the backyard.
"Uncle Leon!"
"Little people!" he yelled and hugged all five girls.
"So how's it going?" Layla asked taking a peak at the sleeping baby.
"Surprisingly calm."
"They behave with you, with me they laugh and run." she grinned.
"Don't worry they still love you." Letty grinned back.
"Dominic come here." Mia called out from the house, her voice sounded urgent and distraught. Making all three adults follow Dom inside. The girls also followed them in, but headed to the playroom.
"Are you Dominic Toretto?" an officer asked standing near the doorway.
"Yes."
"You are under arrest for conspiracy in the kiddnaping of Layla Tompson, Cynthia Montage, and Chrinstina Montage." he said taking out his cuffs.
"What?" Leon and Letty said simultaneously.
"You cant do this." Letty was shocked that they would charge him with that.
"Wait I'm right here and I didn't press charges. Hell it wasn't even him who kidnapped me or the other two." Layla spoke up.
"The charges are from Officer John Linder, he says he's related to Cynthia."
"But he cant press charges without my permission." Layla told the officer.
"I still have to arrest you." the officer looked at Dom.
"But I didn't do anything." Dom defended himself. "It was Kimberly Tran who did the kidnappings. I had nothing to do with it."
"Well then I suggest you get yourself a good lawyer." the cop said as he read him his rights and cuffed him.
"This cannot be happening." Mia cried when they'd taken Dom away.
"I'll call Vince and tell Jesse." Leon said heading upstairs.
"I guess I'll look for a lawyer." Mia spoke up with tears comining down her cheeks.
Letty sighed, "Great." she murmured knowing that when things where finally going right something just had to go wrong. She followed Mia and Layla into the living room.
