Dominic and Letty were speeding along the desolate highway toward the
nearest town. Letty was changing in the back seat into a blue bra and
another one of her fishnet tops; this time it was green, paired with a pair
of Capri leather pants in black. Dominic had already changed out of his
tuxedo and was wearing denim cargo shorts and a black muscle tee, with his
sandals on. Letty had grabbed a pair of her platform sandals and had
slipped them on.
She climbed back into the front seat then looked at Dominic, looking down to her finger. She didn't want a wedding band; she had just wanted the engagement ring. Dominic had on a silver wedding band with a Celtic knot weaved into the metal.
"I love you Letty," said Dominic, pulling his eyes from the road a minute to look at his wife. He smiled with the thought.
Letty flashed him a big grin as well, her eyes sparkling. She was looking at her new husband. "I love you too, Dom."
Just then, the car phone rang. Dominic pulled over to a shoulder and picked up the hand set "'Lo?"
"Hey Dom, it's Leon," said a voice loud enough for Letty to hear. She gave a small smile.
"Hey Leon, how ya doing?" said Dominic into the phone.
Letty shouted, "We got married!" Dominic laughed and grinned at her, placing a finger to his lips.
"Sweet, so you finally popped the question Dom?" said Leon in a matter of fact voice. Dominic chuckled.
"Yeah, man, obviously," Dominic replied. "So how're you doing?" He was genuinely curious.
"Just great man, found me a girl in Baja, and I'm living with her." said Leon.
"And how's Jesse?" Dominic asked. Jesse had not died in the shootout; he had survived with massive shot wounds.
"He's doin' great," Leon replied. There was a slight moaning in the background. Jesse was trying to say something. "Jess says he misses you and is happy for you."
"How can you understand him?" Letty asked. Dominic laughed. He couldn't even understand the moaning.
"After a while you get to know what he's trying to say," said Leon. "Oh, and by the way, you might want to get back to Mia soon. Her new boyfriend just asked her to marry him, and I think she said yes."
"Damnit, I'd rather her be with Brian than that bastard," Dominic said, and he was right. He disliked Brian, but he had to admit, the guy had saved his life and Letty's too. "Where is he anyway?"
"Think he ran off to L.A. or something, got himself a new girl real quick," replied Leon. He sounded angry.
"Bastard," was all Dominic and Letty said. They looked at each other.
"He better not come back and hurt my esa," said Letty in a serious voice. For al she knew, Brian was still around, snooping or something. Letty never forgave Brian for what he did to Dominic and Mia. He broke Mia's heart. Letty wasn't so easy to forgive him.
"I don't think he will Letty, don't worry about it too much, just enjoy your time," said Leon. "Oh, and by the way, Vince got killed in a street race crash right after he healed up. Idiot was driving on painkillers."
Dominic rolled his eyes. He had warned Vince he would get himself killed. And he did. He didn't grieve too much. Vince really didn't have much of a spot in his heart anymore. Letty bit her lip and shook her head. She knew that would happen. "V was an idiot, he dug his own grave."
"I know man," replied Leon. "Well, in any case, I've gotta go, talk to you guys later."
"Later Leon," Dominic and Letty said at once.
"Well, that's interesting," Letty said softly. Dominic just nodded and shook his head.
"That's what he gets for not listening to me," said Dominic in a low voice. Letty nodded fervently.
"I agree," said Letty. "Weren't we going to get breakfast?" She was starving. And so was he.
"Yeah." He started the car and they began to drive again. "Isn't that just the kind of news you want to hear on your wedding day?"
"Oh yeah," Letty said sarcastically. "At least Jesse's okay." She was trying to cheer Dominic up.
"Yeah." He seemed to cheer up, but he couldn't get over the fact that V's own stupidity was what killed him.
They reached the town and Dominic pulled into a parking space that was right near the entrance. He turned off the engine and slipped out of the car, waiting for Letty before he locked the doors.
Letty slid out and looked to him, hearing the click of the doors lock. She gave him a soft, small smile, which he returned. "You gonna be okay baby?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine, now let's eat," Dominic replied, smiling softly and taking her hand and walking with her inside the diner.
It wasn't crowded; there were barely ten people there. They were seated immediately and given menus. Letty already knew she wanted a BLT. Dominic looked through the burgers and decided on a double cheeseburger.
When the waitress came back with their drinks, they gave her the orders. She nodded with a smile and whisked away. Letty looked to Dominic.
His eyes were sparkling with joy. He seemed to have forgotten about Vince. He took Letty's hand and kissed it softly. She smiled. He was going to be okay.
The food came ten minutes later and they grabbed their food without question. Letty was acting nothing like a lady and was scarfing down her sandwich. Dominic wasn't much better. There were whispers around them, calling them pigs and weird people.
"Mmm, this is really good," Letty said between bites. Dominic just nodded and finished off his hamburger, starting on the fries.
Letty finished her BLT and gnawed on a carrot that came with the meal, stealing a few of Dominic's fries. He just smiled and laughed softly.
Once they had both finished, which was in a matter of fifteen minutes, they asked for the bill.
"It'll be $11.50 at the register sir, have a nice day!" said the waitress, flashing another smile and looking Dominic up and down. It made both Dominic and Letty uncomfortable. Dominic shook his head, picking up the receipt and walking up to the register, Letty behind him.
He had left a $2 tip on the table, and Letty could visibly see a pout on their waitress's face. She must have expected that the two of them were rich.
"Thank you sir, have a nice day," said the cashier, handing Dominic two quarters in change with a quirky smile on her freckled face.
"Thanks," said Dominic simply, grabbing Letty's hand and heading out the door as quickly as possible.
She climbed back into the front seat then looked at Dominic, looking down to her finger. She didn't want a wedding band; she had just wanted the engagement ring. Dominic had on a silver wedding band with a Celtic knot weaved into the metal.
