Tonight was the huge party at the Toretto house. This wasn't just one of
those after race parties where everyone gets wasted on shit. It's the party
where racers from all over gather and get wasted on quality shit. When they
swap racing stories and the one time of year Jesse gets laid. Yes this was
going to be a hell of a party, and Letty was going to look her best.
She got to the house an hour late, just for effect, so that she'd stand out when she came. The minute she opened the door, every male eye in the room was on her. Her hair was still done up in a messy bun, and yet it looked.clean and sophisticated. She was wearing a blue mixed jean halter that had one string around the back so that her caramel skin was in full view. She also wore her leather skirt and silver buckle belt with buckle up boots. To say the least, she was the classiest looking racer girl in the house.
Now all she had to do was find Dom.
She wandered into the kitchen where Jesse was sprawled on the floor, a girl with purple hair straddling him. They both looked up at Letty as she walked in and she smiled.
'Jess, do you think you could do that somewhere else? I'm sure.uh.'
'Erin.'
'Erin, would prefer a bed.' Letty said with a wink. Jesse nodded and picked up Erin and carried her up the stairs, the girl giggling all the way. Letty shook her head and picked up a Corona and walked into the 'family room'. It was so crowded she must have be bumped into about ten times before she reached the other side of the room. Vince was in the corner, lying on top of a drunk Asian chick and Leon was talking with two brunettes, all three of them laughing, the two girls touching him anywhere they could.
Letty came to a door and knocked twice on it. She then pushed it open and Mia was lying on her bed, looking at a picture. It was of the cop. Brian.
'Still thinkin' of how it coulda been, Mi?' Letty said leaning against a dresser. Mia looked up in surprise and pushed the picture under a textbook. She then sat up.
'What'd you mean?' she said. Letty smiled a bit.
'You know. The cop.' Mia looked away for a moment and then back. 'You know what I mean Mia so don't even try to make me think anythin' else.' Letty walked over and sat down next to her.
'What if I think.I love him.' Mia looked down, waiting for Letty to yell at her for being stupid. But then she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up.
'I asked my mami the same question when I met your brotha.'
'What'd she say?' Letty hunched over and her face went all funny and her voice turned raspy and high. Mia tried to suppress her laughter.
'Now Leticia, don' you be thinkin' bout boys now.you have to go to college. And that Dom is going to get you killed one day, girl.' Letty squeaked out in what was an unmistakable imitation of her mother. Mia smiled. She felt a lot better.
'I feel like you're my sis, Let.' Letty smiled at Mia's words.
'And don't you forget it.' Letty said getting up and going to the door.
'Letty.' Mia said quickly. Letty turned as she was halfway threw the door. 'Dom loves you. He really does. And don't you forget that.' Letty smiled one last time before she closed the door behind her. She wandered over to the stairs when her eyes wandered across to a familiar face.
'Oh no, not you again.'
'Is that anyway to greet a friend?' Riley said stepping forward. Letty smiled.
'Ever heard of the term quit while you're ahead?' she said searching for signs of Vince or Dom. Riley gave a short laugh.
'Don't worry, I already checked.' He said smiling. 'The trouble maker is already so wasted he wouldn't be able to pick me out of the crowd. And your man isn't anywhere in sight.' Letty suddenly frowned. She had a bad feeling about Dom not being where she could see him. That boy needed a leash or somethin'.
'Uh, Riley, can you wait a minute, I gotta check on somethin' myself.'
'What? Your man?'
'Why do you keep calling him that? His name is Dom.' Letty was starting to get a bit irritated. Why was Riley being so.Vince like.
'Well it's just that you put so much blind faith in him.is it cause you love him?'
'What's with the questions Riley? And what if I do love him?'
'Well he sure don't love you.'
'What did you say?' Letty frowned. What the hell was this prick getting at? She had trusted him, but if she had to choose sides.
'I mean just what I said.' Riley said looking a little bit tipsy. He must have had a few beers too many. 'Cause I saw that son of a bitch go upstairs with some Philippino skank.' Letty's heart sank. What if the Riley was telling the truth?
'You're lying.' She said shortly, glaring at him. He snorted and started to laugh.
'You wish, princess.' He said nearly falling over. 'Go and check if you like. Makes no difference. Your man is a lying, cheating fuck and no one, not even you, pumpkin, can change that.' Letty shook her head and ran up the stairs. She flung open door after door, revealing couple after couple, but none of the men were Dom. She came to the last door and she could hear the bed springs squeaking. She finally worked up the courage to throw open the door.
'Letty!' she heard a voice yell, forcing her eyes open, 'Jesus Christ, a little privacy please!' Jesse yelled, trying to hide himself and Erin under the sheets. Letty couldn't help but smile. No Dom. No cheating Dom. Nothing could make her happier.
'Um.Letty?' The girl asked meekly. Letty smiled.
'Yeah?'
'Um.could you.maybe.leave?' Letty looked from Erin to Jesse and suddenly it hit her that she had just barged in on their sex. She suddenly turned a bit red.
'Sorry.' She said as she closed the door. She then tripped and fell over something huge. She fell with a thud. She looked over at her feet and lying there was another familiar face.
'Deryck?'
'Letty!' There lay her best friend, Deryck, a blonde haired blue eyed, short and funny rock star that grew up with the street racing scene. 'What are you doing out here?'
'What are you doing out here?' Letty asked finally noticing the girl sitting on top of him, who looked a bit annoyed at her disturbance.
'Oh, this is Tori. You know...TORI...' The girl was slender with blonde hair and bright green eyes. Deryck's picking them nicer and nicer every year, Letty thought to herself. Then something snapped in her head.
'Tori? Tori Diego?' Letty said staring at her. Tori's eyes unnarrowed. Then a smile crossed her face.
'Letty! Is that you?' Both girls gave each other a hug, which wasn't comfortable for Deryck. When they broke apart, Letty was so surprised she couldn't quite find her words.
'So you two are together?'
'No shit.' Deryck said, smiling as he stared at Tori.
'So what you two were just gonna do it? Right here in the hallway?' Letty smirked. Deryck smiled while he continued to rub the Tori's ass.
'Well at least we're not doing it in the laundry room.' He grinned.
'What are you talking about?' Letty said her smiled shrinking a bit.
'You and Dom.' Tori spoke up, 'Having sex in the laundry room. You only went in fifteen minutes ago. I didn't think it was you at first but I guess it was.'
'Yeah, why you out so soon.' Deryck joked, 'Dom not as good in bed anymore?' Letty however was not smiling. She hadn't checked the laundry room. Could it really be true that he'd taken his flirting another step? She got up without saying another word and walked toward the laundry room door.
'Hey, hey Letty?' Deryck yelled after her, but his mouth was suddenly covered by Tori's. 'Fuck it.' He mumbled as he resumed his course of action.
Letty, meanwhile, got closer and closer to the laundry room and she heard faint moans and yells. No way. No way Dom would do this. Please god let it just be some other dumb fuck and not Dom.
Letty reached for the handle and opened the door slowly. She opened it about an inch and peaked threw. There was Dom, bucking some girl. She was pretty. Really pretty.
Letty turned and slumped against the wall, too shocked to cry. She sat there a few minutes, listening to her man screw someone else. Someone that wasn't her. And she couldn't take it.
Leon stopped chatting up the brunettes and looked over to the stairs. Letty was walking down and her face was blank. She almost looked dead, her whole body limp, her feet dragging down the stairs, her eyes lifeless and her hair ripped down from it's bun. She took no notice of anyone around her, even when the Riley kid tried to talk to her. She just opened the door and walked out.
Leon followed and when he got outside he yelled 'Letty!' She turned and when he saw her face he knew it was bad.
Letty never cried. Never in her life had anyone, not even Dom, seen her cry. No matter how badly hurt she was she wouldn't allow herself to cry, like it would make her look weak or something. She was a tough chicka and Leon felt bad. He felt bad that he had to be the first person to see her cry.
She got to the house an hour late, just for effect, so that she'd stand out when she came. The minute she opened the door, every male eye in the room was on her.
