Chapter 8: What would you do ?

Leon looked like a deer caught in the headlights. Letty sent him a smouldering look before making her way over to him and pulling the beer out of his hand. She took a long swig and put her bottle on the table. Leon stood there scratching his head, not sure what the hell was going on. Next thing he knew, Letty wrapped her arms around his neck and threw herself against him and kissed him, long and hard. He responded by wrapping his arms around her, pulling her closer and kissing her back. Their tongues dueled and danced in their mouths as Letty walked him back into the living room, his knees giving out when they hit the couch. She fell on top of him, grinding herself against him. Realization finally hit him as Leon realized who the hell he was making out with. He pulled back and sat up, pushing her off slightly.

"Letty, I can't." he said, running a hand through his short, dirty blonde hair.

"Sure you can," she said, straddling him and once again began kissing him. He kissed her back for a few moments before once again pulling back.

"Letty, I can't. What about Dom?"

"What about him?" she said flippantly before nuzzling his neck, nibbling on his earlobe and grinding her hips into his.

"Fuck it" he mumbled against her lips as he ground his hips against hers, running his hands through her hair and down her sides, latching on to her waist. He rested there for a moment before slowly slipping his hand under her shirt and began working his way up.

"What the fuck do you think your doing ?" Dom boomed. Too caught up in the moment, neither Letty nor Leon had heard Dom come down the stairs. Leon quickly pulled his hands out of Letty's shirt and pushed her back and off him, standing up.

"Dom, come on man, I just.."Leon started as he edged his way out of the living room, towards the front door.

"Letty what the hell are you doing with Leon?" Dom demanded. Leon took the opportunity to run to the door.

"I think I better go." He was ignored as he ran out the door, down the porch steps and roaring down the street, as far away from Dom as possible.

"What the hell did you do that for Dom?" Letty yelled, getting up and grabbing her beer off the table.

"Me, what the hell were you doing with him?"

"I was seeing what it's like to be Dominic Toretto. If you can fuck around, why can't I ?" she asked, arms crossed against her chest, eyebrow raised.

"Jesus, those girls mean nothing to me, I love you Letty." Dom said, exasperated as he flopped back onto the couch with a thud.

"You love me ?? This is how you show your love, fucking anything that walks ? Did you know it was anniversary Dom. And to think, I thought you had changed. "

"I have Letty I swear to God"

"Doesn't look like it to me. Well I guess you can't teach an old 'dog' new tricks. " Dom sat back, understanding sinking in. All these years he had taken her for granted, I fuck up, and she takes me back. I have hurt her so bad, and now I know I have really lost her.

"Letty please, give me one more chance. I know I don't deserve it, but please. You are all I have. I need you." Letty stood their pondering what he had just said, her resolve slipping. The raw Dominic Toretto sat on the couch in front of her, the one nobody else ever saw but her.

"I think we should take a break, Dom." Letty said her voice cracking slightly.

"But, Letty.."

"No, Dom. We have been together since I was sixteen. Seven long years. You have hurt me too many times. I need time."

"Letty...please baby." Dom begged, stood up, wrapping his arms around her.

"It's not gonna work this time Dom" Letty said pushing Dom back and grabbing her coat and keys and left out the door, leaving Dom standing in the middle of the living room.

"Fuck." was all Dom could say, knowing this time he had gone too far, and had truely hurt her.

***************************

With the wedding only a month and a half away, Mia was running around, like a chicken with it's head cut off.

"Oh God, what was I thinking. I can't do this." Mia cried, flopping back on her bed, after another unsuccessful day of wedding dress shopping. Brian and her had agreed on a small wedding, as soon as possible, before the baby was born, and she could still look good in a dress, Mia had stated. Mia began sobbing into her pillow, her emotions in overload.

Dom heard his sister crying from his room, where he lay on his bed. He knocked softly on her door before entering her room. He crossed over to her bed quickly, sinking down onto her bed next to her, running a caring hand through her hair.

"Mia, whats wrong ?" he asked, voice deep with concern.

"Dom, I'm such a horrible bride. I can't even find a dress, what kind of wife or mother can I make?" she cried, as he pulled her into a hug.

"Hey wait a sec, I got an idea, ok?" he asked before leaving the room. He returned a few minutes later with a large old looking box, tied together with an ancient ribbon. He placed the box on the bed in front of her.

"Here, open this." he instructed. She sat up and wiped at her eyes, she carefully pulled the ribbon off the box, and dropped it onto the bedspread. Her eyes once again filled with tears as she saw what was in the box. She sat back awestruck. Dom gently pulled the dress from the box, shaking it out, to bring it to its fullness.

"Its beautiful Dom." Mia said running her hand along the smooth fabric.

"It was mom's. I know she would want you to wear it. You will look beautiful. Now stop worrying so much about the wedding. Its gonna be perfect, and you will be a great mother. You are amazing Mia."

"Thank you Dom. I love you." she said as he pulled her into a hug.

"Love you too, baby girl," he said kissing the top of her head

***************

Friday night rolled around again, and the team roared into the warehouse backlot. Hector came running up, telling Dom about the races. Everyone was buzzing about Aaliyah as she easily won the two races she was in against, the top racers. The crowd demanded a challenge for this amazing red head. Nobody else had beaten these racers except for Dom. Aaliyah sat back against the hood of her car, waitng for someone to challenge her. Hector walked up to her nonchalantly.

"I got an idea, if your interested." Aaliyah cocked an eyebrow. "Race Dom", Aaliyah sat there unresponsive, pondering the idea.

"No way he would do it Hector." she finally answered.

"Oh, I think he will. Let me go talk to him." Aaliyah just shrugged and Hector walked over to Dom.

"Dom, I got a challenge for you."

"Oh yeah, who?" Dom's curiousity peaked, he hadn't been challenged in monthes.

"Aaliyah." Dom smirked in amusement.

"Your funny Hector."

"Nah man, Im serious." Dom raised a questioning eyebrow over to Aaliyah who sat back arms crossed against her chest.

"Aight . Let's do this. You in?" He yelled over to Aaliyah.

"Let's do it." she yelled back, climbing into her car, and heading over to the starting line. People scrambled to place bets on the race. Dom pulled up to the starting line, next to Aaliyah. She sat back, hands gripping the wheel so tight her knuckles were turning white. Dom cracked his neck, and turned on his stereo, Nelly's "Ride Wit Me" blaring through the speakers. He slid his jacket off the passenger seat so he could turn on his NOS tank. He tossed his coat back on the seat and sat up in his seat, revving his motor. Aaliyah rolled her eyes at him and turned on her NOS tanks. The opening rifts of "My Way" by Limp Bizkit, blasted through her stereo drowning out Dom's stereo. Everyone lined the street, as Leon sat listening to the scanner.

"We got a shoot out up on the Northside, the heat are all over it. Let's get this shit started" Leon yelled to Hector.

Hector caught Dom and Aaliyah's attention, and they revved their engines in response, flames shooting out the exhaust. Hector raised his arms slowly,

"Go!!!!" He hollered and Dom and Aaliyah slammed on the gas, roaring off. They shifted to second, to only shift to third moments later. The speedometer pushing 150 Miles/hour. Dom looked over to see Aaliyah right with him, their actions synchronized. Dom shook his head and focused back on the road, refusing to lose. He thumbed his NOS button, his red car shooting out in front of Aaliyah's black one. The cars and people lining the streets blurred into one mass as Aaliyah pushed her NOS button, sending her right next to Dom and over the line. The cars screeched as they spun around, simultaneously. Dom raised an eyebrow at her as he raced back to the starting line.

"Hector !" he boomed, "Who won? I couldnt tell."

"Dom, man.." Dom smiled, "she won." Dom deadpanned.

"By an inch, man." Letty and VInce's laughter could be heard from the sidelines. The only one who had even come close to beating Dom was Brian.

"Fuck she is fast." Hector nodding in agreement. Aaliyah was leaning against her car again, but this time she stood between Jesse's legs with his arms wrapped around her, waiting for the results. Dom stood for a moment, questioning what to do. He walked over to her.

"Damn, baby girl, your good. You beat me" Aaliyah's stood wide-eyed as Jesse's jaw dropped in amazement. Dom opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Letty's yelling.

"You wanna go bitch?" Letty demanded, anger in her voice. Aaliyah, Jesse and Dom headed over to see what was the matter.

"Letty what's wrong ?" Aaliyah asked, concerned over her friend. Letty was still sensitive since her break up with Dom that hardly anyone knew about, save for the team.

"This chick, thinks she can take me on." Letty stated, pointing over to the girl standing in front of a bright blue Hyundai Tiburon, with silver flames detailed down the sides.

"Letty calm down, just race her. You up for it?" Aaliyah asked, turning to look at the girl. She had blonde hair, with long purple tips, falling to just below her shoulders, similiar to Aaliyah. She wore white and black pants, covered in what looked like graffitti, and a black tank top with the word 'Devil' scawled across the front.

"Oh my God" Aaliyah cried, running over to the girl and pulling her into a hug, which the girl eagerly returned. The team stood back confused.

"What the fuck ?"
