Reliving the Past: Chapter 8: Rated R: Letty's POV:

I woke up to see Dom sleeping peacefully beside me. He lay on his side, facing me. He had his arm around my waist, cuddling me. He was breathing softly, his breath trickling down my face. I smiled. I love the feel of him. I feel so comfortable when I'm around him.

I checked the clock and read 7:00 in big red numbers. Shit! I have to get to school! I sat up and gently lifted his arm off me. I got up and laid it back down on the bed, walking over to his bathroom. Not even bothering to shut the door, I turned the shower on and took off my clothes, smirking as Dom opened one eye and stared at me, grinning.

A couple minutes later, I got out, wrapping a towel around me. I stepped back into Dom's room and smiled, seeing him still laying there, faking his sleep. I walked over to him and kissed his forehead. "I know you're awake," I whispered seductively in his ear.

He just smirked and pulled me back into bed. "Where do you think you're going?" He smiled, pulling me closer to him.

"Hell," I sighed. He looked at me confusingly and I smiled. "School."

"Oh."

"Yeah. So let me go!"

"Why?" he smirked.

"Because I have to get dressed," I answered, rolling my eyes.

"I'll dress you," he grinned.

"Yeah, right. Dom, let me go!" I growled, struggling in his grasp.

"Fine," he chuckled, unwrapping his arms around me, "but you owe me."

"Whatever, D." I got up and walked over to his door.

"Letty!" Dom called.

I turned around, looking annoyed. "What?" I spat.

"Happy Birthday," he said softly, giving me a sweet smile.

I soften a bit and returned the smile. "Thanks Dom."

After school was over, I walked into the parking lot to my car but stopped. I saw that perverted asswipe standing next to my baby, waiting for me. After setting my glare on my face, I walked over to my car.

He looked at me and smiled. "Hey, Lett," I greeted.

"Hey, Mike," I muttered, walking past him to the driver's side. "Heard you were dating that slut," I said, unlocking my door.

"You heard right," he smiled, "But we broke up."

"Awww. Boohoo," I replied with no emotion in my voice.

"Look, Letty. I broke up with her because all she wanted was sex," he explained, laying his hand on the hood of my car.

"That's what you wanted, right?" I sneered, glaring at him, "And DON'T touch my car."

He quickly took his hand off and placed it inside his jacket. "That's not all what I wanted," he replied, looking in my eyes, "I wanted a real relationship. You know, like, where it's all about feelings and all that. Not just sex. But she couldn't give me that."

"Aww. Cry Me A Fucking River," I snarled.

"Letty, I'm sorry aight? I've changed. Look can we just start all over again?"

"No."

"Letty-"

"I'm never gonna forgive you for what you did two years ago after I said no to you several times. Why should I be with someone who doesn't respect me?"

"And you think Toretto respects you?!"

I stopped for a minute and squinted my eyes at him. "What?"

"Don't bullshit me, Letty," he said, shaking his head, "I know for a fact that you like him. Even when we were dating, every time you would talk or look at him, your eyes would light up and you would get lost in your own little world!"

"That's not-"

"True?" he interrupted, raising his eyebrows, "yeah, right."

"Fine. You're right," I nodded, "you're absolutely right. I do like him. Hell, I probably even love him! But atleast he comes closer to me than you ever will be."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

I just smiled and got in my car.

He looked at me awkwardly and walked up to the window. "What?" he asked, confusingly.

I looked at him and smirked. "Back it the fuck off! Because I'm taken!" I growled, pushing on the accelerator and drove off, leaving him in a cloud of car exhaust.

I parked up on the driveway and got out, taking out my stuff. I heard voices from the back of the house and walked over. I saw Dom tending the barbeque and Vince setting up the table. I walked over to Dom slowly, looking around. He looked at me and smiled. "What's going on?" I asked, confused.

"We're having a little barbeque in your honor," he grinned.

"My honor?"

"Yeah. Happy Birthday Babygirl," he smiled, kissing my cheek.

"You guys are all doing this for me?" I asked, disbelievingly.

"Yeah," he grinned, arching an eyebrow, "Why wouldn't we? You're family, Lett."

I smiled. Family. I love my family.
