Letty had decided to go for a walk the next morning. She landed up at the beach and sat on the damp sand watching the wave's crash on to the shore. She saw a guy running down the beach and smiled when she realized it was Brian. He took out his ear buds,
"You're up early"
She smiled, and nodded,
"So are you"
Brian nodded sitting beside her,
"I am always up this early, only time alone"
She nodded,
"Couldn't sleep"
Brian smiled,
"Nightmare…"
She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her chin on them and shrugged a bit,
"Kind of, can I ask you something?"
Brian nodded,
"Sure"
"Did we ever…hookup? When I was undercover I mean"
Brian laughed and she looked at him,
"And have that hanging over my head my whole life? Dom would have skinned me alive"
Letty smiled,
"So no"
Brian nodded,
"Not a chance"
She sighed,
"Good"
"Why do you ask?"
She shrugged a bit,
"I'm trying to figure out how you went from a buster, to what it seems like my best friend"
He laughed,
"Long story"
She smiled,
"I love a good story"
He nodded, and started talking,
It was four months after she had arrived home and she decided to run the red light to make it home in time for Mia's big date. She sighed as she spotted the red and white lights behind her. She pulled over not in the mood for the lecture from Mia about anymore heat on them.
She grabbed her license and registration and rolled her window down to be face to face with the buster. She growled,
"If I knew it was you, I would have kept going. I could beat you in my sleep"
Brian smirked,
"Leticia Ortiz, never thought I would see you again"
She nodded,
"So free pass?"
He shrugged,
"I guess I owe you that much"
"You owe all of us a lot more than that"
He sighed,
"Letty, I've been trying to get a hold of Dom."
"Well good luck, because he won't even call me back. If you find him, tell him he's an ass hole and he needs to come home"
Brian raised an eyebrow,
"You don't know where he is?"
She shrugged,
"No buster I don't. Ever since your little stunt he thinks I'm in trouble. He can't come home."
Brian nodded,
"Well maybe he could help me with this, and I clear his name."
Brian dug through his pocket and handed her a card. Letty took it,
"And why should I believe you"
"It's the only way you'll get him home"
She nodded,
"I'll work on it, but Mia has a date. I need to get her ready. So ticket or not"
"Don't run any more red lights"
Letty smirked,
"Better give me a ticket then"
"Just get out of here"
Letty turned to look at him,
"So let me guess, I called you instead of Dom"
He pointed at her,
"Bingo"
She laughed,
"Sounds like something I would do"
He nodded,
"I was too afraid to say no, so I tried to talk you out of it. You had nothing to do with that, so eventually we just started working together to try and bring him home"
"And I ended up dying"
He laughed,
"Too make a long story short"
She smiled,
"Did Mia know about it?"
He shook his head,
"No, it was just me and you. We would spend most of the day together; you would go home work on Dom's car. Promise me you would try and get me back together with Mia. Never happened"
She smirked,
"Seems to me you didn't need my help"
He laughed,
"Well, we only started talking because of your fake funeral"
Letty smiled and looked back to the ocean,
"Glad I could help"
Brian smiled,
"You did mean a lot to me Let, you still do"
She nodded,
"I wish I could remember it. "
He nodded,
"Well whenever you need a story let me know"
She nodded,
"Did we ever go out for drinks?"
He shook his head,
"More like got drunk in my office and you threw up in my trash can"
She laughed,
"And I bet I didn't even buy you a new one"
He laughed,
"No we swapped it out with the jerk of the office, his face was priceless in the morning"
She smiled, and looked down when he felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She picked it up,
"Hello?"
Dom's voice coming thorugh the other end made her smiled,
"I thought we made a promise to tell each other before leaving the bed empty"
Letty laughed,
"I made you promise, I was never one for sneaking out"
Dom smiled,
"I think you just did sweet cakes"
Letty smirked,
"I'll be home soon"
"Alright"
She smiled hanging up and slipping it back in her pocket. She stood up wiping the sand off. Brian stood up,
"Walk home?"
She nodded,
"You can tell me stories; I still don't know why I would agree to be your friend"
Brian laughed putting an arm around her,
"You're one to talk"
She pushed him a bit,
"Shut up"
He smiled as they walked back to the house. They decided on the long way back to the house, so Brian could tell her some memories he cherished. They ran up the stairs to the house and smiled when the smell of Mia's waffles hit their noses.
They walked in to the kitchen and Brian kissed her on the cheek grabbing one of the plate. Mia turned,
"Hey"
Brian smiled,
"So good"
She shook her head,
"Go get your son, he needs to be changed"
Letty laughed from the table as she sipped her orange juice,
"Punishment for eating first"
Brian glared at her as he walked up the stairs to get Jack. Mia turned,
"You two have fun?"
Letty nodded,
"I'm missing all the pieces of my time with him"
Mia nodded,
"I see"
Letty laughed,
"Mi, no need to be jealous. Nothing happened then or now"
She turned,
"How do you know?"
"I asked him"
Her eyes went wide,
"What?"
Letty shrugged,
"I knew you wanted to know and it always kind of bugged me"
Mia nodded,
"Good to know"
Letty smiled before standing up turning her around hugging her. She whispered in her ear,
"I don't know what I would have done without you when I got home. Then and now"
Mia nodded,
"I'm just glad you're alright"
Letty nodded as the girls hugged, Dom came down the stairs. He sat at the table,
"What's up with you two?"
Mia pulled away,
"We were just talking"
Dom nodded,
"Girls are so strange"
She stuck her tongue out at him as Letty went and sat on his lap. Dom smiled as she kissed him lightly,
"Thanks for bringing me home"
Dom smiled,
"Thanks for coming home"
I know wasn't too much Dotty in this one, next one. Just wanted to get you one tonight. Edit later, off to bed.
