Sorry I haven't updated lately it's just life, you know?
"How long of does it take to clean a friggin' airplane?" Letty asked as she sighed and leaned into her chair. Mia looked over at her with a raised eyebrow. Letty just smiled. "Yeah I know I know, I just don't like the smell of airplanes and the sooner we take off, the sooner I can get off of it." Mia just smiled at her friend, and looked to her left to see the rest of her friends. Maria and Tanya were chatting away about their trip to New York, while Letty just impatiently tapped her toe and breathed through her mouth. Mia smiled at them and closed her eyes thinking about the trip of a lifetime.
"Hey guys," Mia said as the other three women turned their attention towards her. "What was everybody's favorite part of the trip?" She asked smiling at everybody. Everyone looked at each other and smiled. "Mine was the tacos and that cheesy romantic comedy." Mia smiled, Letty looked at her surprised and smiled while they both held out each other's pinkies and squeezed them. Tanya and Maria shared a confused look but then just smiled and shook their heads.
"Mine was Central Park and the sunrise." Tanya said while she winked at Letty, Letty just smiled and took Tanya's hand and held it to her heartbeat. She just held her there for a second before kissing it and letting go.
"Mine was most definitely the opera." Maria said smiling while she twirled her wedding ring around on her finger. All three women looked over at Letty who was currently observing her calloused hands. Once she felt everybody's eyes on her she turned her head to look at the other three, she shrugged.
"It's for me to know and for you to find out." She said as she looked out the window the other three just looked at her angrily.
"Come on Lett. Just tell us what your favorite part of the trip was. It was the automobile show at the Museum wasn't it?" Mia asked while she rolled her eyes. Letty looked over at her, studying her with her eyes and shook her head.
"It's my secret." Letty said while she smiled at the three glares being sent her way and just turned her head, when she felt the plane moving.
"Finally!" She said as all four woman craned to look out the window as they took off and looked at the big city, become smaller and smaller.
"Dom!" Mia squealed as she launched herself into her brother's arms. He smiled and hugged her back as he watched the three generations of Ortiz girls walking towards him. When Mia let go of him and went to hug the rest of the team Dom pulled Letty into a hug and kissed the top of her head.
"I missed you baby." Dom said as he pulled back to look at her. She seemed older, wiser if that made sense.
"I missed you somewhat." Letty joked as she pulled back and went to hug her boys and Vince.
"Hey baby girl, it's nice to have you back." Leon smiled down at her, Letty just smiled back up at him.
"Those jackets and sunglasses you and Dom were wearing in New York, did you model those out of the Matrix?" Leon smiled sheepishly and blushed.
"Well yeah, those guys kicked ass in style." Letty laughed and hugged him again, she then pulled back to see the rest of her family. Leon watched her walk away and hated the butterflies in his stomach. Suddenly he felt somebody tap his shoulder; he turned his gaze away from Letty to see Tanya standing in front of him.
"You remind me a lot of an old friend of mine." She said while she looked over at Letty and motioned to her. "You're in love with her aren't you?" Leon blushed and looked at the floor.
"I wouldn't try to take her from Dom Mrs. Ortiz; I just want her to be happy." Tanya smiled at him.
"So did my friend, but I didn't love him like he loved me. I still married him though, and I've kicked myself every day since. Whenever I look back I can't help but think that even though he was content to have me love him but not be in love with him. I think that if I hadn't been selfish and hadn't held on to him, maybe he could have found a real love. Think about that." Tanya was about to walk away but Leon grabbed her arm and proceeded to ask her a question.
"Do you think I'm being punished for something by being in love with somebody who can't love me back the same way?" Leon asked still looking down, but Tanya could tell there were tears brimming in his eyes.
"Just be there for her Leon. I have a feeling she's really going to need you one day and you're going to be the only one who can help her, but don't be scared to find your own happiness." With that she walked away and Leon looked up to see Dom kissing Letty and he heard her uncharacteristically giggle. He smiled at her happiness but could feel his own heart tearing slowly in half.
Sorry there hasn't been a lot of Dom and Letty for a while, next chapter there should be, and again sorry for the wait.
