Letty walked into her bedroom two hours later, still soaking wet. Thankfully, they had towels downstairs so she had gotten out of her drenched clothes and wrapped a warm towel around herself.
When she got inside, the first thing she saw was Dom sleeping. He had a troubled expression, and looked as if he was dreaming very bad things. I wonder what he's dreaming about? Letty thought sadly.
She walked further into the room, planning to get dry and go to sleep too. Letty noticed that her jacket was on the floor with a small piece of paper lying beside it. I must have dropped it in my hurry, she thought picking up the jacket. She threw it on the sofa again and went to pick up the piece of paper, Must be some old receipt or something, she thought dismissively. Letty went to the garbage can and threw it away, never giving it a second thought.
Taking some time to dry off, she got into bed and snuggled into Dom, who instinctively put a protective arm around her. I'd forgotten how good this feels, Letty thought for the second before she fell asleep. Unlike Dom, Letty dreamt of happy things, for she didn't know of any of the things that he knew.
*******************************************************************
Dom woke up with Letty's small body snuggled up beside him, God this feels so good I love Letty so much. I never want to let her go. Somewhere deep inside of him, a voice was telling him that she hurt him. At that moment he didn't care, he just wanted to savor it before it ended and the bitterness began.
Letty woke up just a few minutes after Dom, and didn't want to leave either, so she just layed quietly. They were there for a long time, just enjoying the moment, neither knowing that the other was awake and both wishing they could say their feelings out loud.
*******************************************************************
Dominic didn't say anything to anybody about the note that he found. He was still trying to convince himself that it wasn't real. That he was just having a very bad dream and he would wake up soon, still in LA and still the King of the Streets.
Unfortunately for him, that didn't happen, and he was stuck in misery the whole night. Him and Letty had gotten up without many words, each of them preferring to go their own way. Dom made a sorry excuse to go out, saying that he needed to pick up some parts for his car.
Jesse got really excited at the mention of "car parts" so he gave Dom a whole list of things that he wanted. Dom left soon after Jesse was finished giving him his order, it was still early so he would have time to pick it all up. Damn I wish I woulda said something else, he thought warily.
*******************************************************************
Before going to the car parts store, Dom decided to get something to eat. He spotted a small restaurant called "El Rincon De Paraiso" a few blocks down, so he decided to go there.
He parked in front of the place, and went inside, it was quaint and homely, but looked very sophisticated at the same time. Dom walked to the head waitress and asked for a table for one.
"Un momento," the waitress replied and went off to set his table.
Dom decided to sit down while he waited for the waitress, and just as he got comfortable he thought he heard a familiar voice. It's probably some tourist, the thought, shaking it off.
"Well if it isn't Dominic Toretto!" the voice said from behind him.
Dom turned around to see who was there, and was met with a shocking but pleasant surprise. "Priya! What the hell are you doing here?"
"Nice to see you too Dom," she replied sarcastically. "I'm just around for awhile, what are you doing here?"
"I moved here a couple of months ago," Dom said.
"Oh I see, well would you like to join me? I don't really get to dine with handsome men much, so this would be a great chance," Priya said with a wink.
"Uh, ok, sure, I'm not here with anyone." Dom answered with a grin.
When the waitress came back, Priya apologized and told her to make it a table for two. The waitress just nodded for them to follow her, and took them to their table. Priya obviously knew what she wanted, because she didn't even look at her menu.
"I'll have the escaveche de camarones with rice and red wine," she said expertly.
Dom was a little unsettled, but decided to ask her about it later, "I'll have the same," he said.
When the waitress left Priya started their conversation, "So what have I missed Dommy? How has your life been without little old moi?" she asked sweetly.
He laughed at her use of his "nickname," he hated it, but he just let her call him that to amuse her. "I'm with Letty now, and life has been okay, lots of ups and down, you know same old shit."
Priya inwardly scowled, I will never understand what he sees in that tramp, she thought. Outwardly, she put on a big smile, "Oh, so you're with Letty? I was secretly hoping you were still available!" she laughed. "So how's the gang? Anyone new?" Priya quickly changed the subject.
Dominic didn't understand why she would ask about someone "new" in the gang, but figured it was just because so many people tried to get with the team while she was around. "Umm, well the team's fine."
"Come on Dommy! Now I know "fine" is not all the news for the past seven years! Tell me more, how's Vince? And Mia?"
"Mia is good, she has a boyfriend named Brian. We got two other family members too, Jesse and Leon. Vince……Vince died in an accident about two and a half months ago." Dom said uneasily.
Priya once again put on a fake visage, "Oh god Dommy I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have asked, I'm sorry, I shouldn't of butt in to your personal life. Jeez I'm so stupid," she said with fake pityfulness.
Dom took the bait, "Oh no Pri, it's okay, and it's not your fault! Don't worry about it."
She batted her eyelashes, "Thanks Dommy, you were always so sweet. So tell me about you and Leticia." Obviously, Priya had had a lot of practice because Dom was just eating it all up, believing blindly in her interest.
"Letty and I are okay I guess, Vince's death has kinda put a strain on our relationship. It's just been hard the past few months you know?"
Priya put her hand on his thigh and looked into his eyes, "I know Dommy, I'm sorry to hear that you and Letty are having a hard time." No I'm not. "So let's talk about something happier, what brings you around here?"
"I just needed some time to myself, so I decided to drive around and found myself here."
"I see, well here comes our food, I can't wait to eat, I'm starving!"
The waitress came back with their meals and set them on the table. They ate quietly, saying a few words here and there. Never relaying too much, just enough to keep the conversation going.
After they finished eating, they decided to talk some more, mostly about their pasts and what they had been doing. Then Priya said, "Hey it's getting late wanna just go to my place?"
