Ch3 7:00 am.
The hip-hop sounds of Ja Rule were blaring in Letty's ear. 7:00.she had
gotten up at 6:00 this morning and was dog-tired. She turned and glanced
at Dom. He was leaned to one side, one hand on the wheel of their brand
new SUV, with a bad ass look on his face, and nodding to the music. She
smiled. He was so cute.always trying to look the baddest for everyone,
even if it was only her. Letty turned back towards the window. Pure
desert. She couldn't wait to get back to the big huge city. Home.
~~~*
"Hello? Anyone home?"
Letty stepped into the house, she remembered the key under the mat. It was all still the same, nothing had changed. She was home. Dome came in behind her, tugging at the suitcases in the doorway.
"Wow."
"Yea.great, isn't it?"
Dom stared at her, "No, it's still the same old sump that we left."
Letty spun on her heels and slapped Dom on the arm, laughing, "Shut up! It's great!"
There was a honk in the driveway and a car door slamming shut. Dom and letty peeked out the door and saw Vince, Leon, and Brian walking up.
"Hey! Who the hell's in my driveway?" Vince asked jokingly.
"I think I should be asking you the same question!"
Dom met them halfway giving Vince a brotherly hug. Leon and Brian each gave Dom a hug as well, but then noticed Letty.
"Letty!!!" They all called in unison. As one, they all hugged her, nearly toppling her over.
"Hi guys! How's it been goin? How's the garage?"
"That's all she been thinking about lately." Dom confessed.
"Jeez! We've missed you too, Let!" remarked Leon.
"Oh, I've missed you guys too!" Letty flashed her girliest smile, making them hysterical.
"Well, let's go inside and grab a beer," Vince suggested.
Dom paused, "Corona?"
"You know it, man!" Vince reassured Dom while attempting to pull him into a headlock.
Dom slipped out and grabbed Vince's neck, "The best thing hasn't changed!"
They all filed into the house and through to the kitchen. Brian handed each of them a Corona as they sat at the kitchen table.
A few hours later, Mia waltzed in, stopping dead in her tracks, "Letty!"
Letty swung around in her chair, "Mia!"
They both embraced each other. "I can't believe you're here!"
"I know! We've got so much to catch up on!"
Brian got up instantly, motioning to the guys, "Come on, girl talk."
And led them to the back yard. "Don't mind them.so what's been going on with you lately?"
Mia and Letty shared with each other the past year and a half, laughing the whole time. ~~~* Outside, the guys were crackin on each other, "Man, she's got you wrapped around her finger!"
Vince gave Dom so much crap.
"Hell, I am married to the woman!"
"Well, yea, but she's probably got you on a shit load of restrictions, right? Next thing you know, she'll be saying you can't race anymore!"
Leon, Vince, and brain laughed so hard, grabbing their stomachs.
Dom wasn't laughing and Brian noticed, "Dude, you can't be serious.she won't let you race?"
The guys stopped laughing and stared at Dom. "No, it's not like that, I chose not to race anymore." Dom protested.
Vince found that hard to believe, as well as the others, "Why? Racing was your life, I mean.what happened down there in Mexico?"
"Letty happened, ok?" Dom snapped back and walked off down the driveway.
They had no right to criticize his and Letty's decisions.
He heard footsteps behind him but didn't turn around.
"Sorry bout that Dom," it was Leon, "You a'ight?"
"Yeah, just a little pissed." Dom chuckled a little, "How bout we go and finish out Coronas?"
Leon smiled and patted Dom on the back as they made their way back up the driveway.
