There's No 'I' In TEAM

Love Comes From the Most Unlikely of Places

WARNING: Slight fluffiness in this chapter-just to establish the whole Letty/Adrian relationship thing going on. Might not be needed really but I wanted to put it in to clarify. I don't own anybody(I wanna own Vince though-he's such a hottie!) or lines from 'Blue Crush' or 'Resident Evil'(small lines).

"Adrian! Put me the hell down!" Letty yelled as her boyfriend of three years tossed her over his shoulder and made his way towards the ocean. Letty scrambled to get out of his grasp as she realized what he was going to do and he laughed and moved faster. "Adrian! DO-" Letty said as he dropped her in the ocean. She sputtered as she surfaced and glared as he grinned at her.

"You told me to put you down."

"I meant on dry land idiota."

"You didn't specify, puta."

"Oooo-you are so dead, papi!" she said, diving underwater. Adrian yelled as she pulled his legs out from under him and he sank under the water-but he dragged her along despite her struggles.
They gasped for air as they surfaced and Letty laughed happily.

"You're such an ass." she said.

"Ah, yes-but that's why you love me correct?" he said in a fake French accent. She laughed again and said "Yeah, that's why I love you." She kissed him softly and pulled away, licking her lips.

"Now you get to carry me back to the blanket."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want sand on my feet. And because I said so." she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Of course, m'lady." he said standing with her in his arms, "Jesus Christ woman-what've you been eatin'?!" he joked, pretending to stumble.

"Shut up or you're not gettin' any tonight." she said, cocking an eyebrow. Adrian snapped his mouth shut and carried her back to the blanket, setting her gently on the ground.

"Thank you. Now come here." He sat down beside her and she pulled him into a kiss that got pretty heated when someone called her name.

"Letty?!?" Letty broke the kiss and looked up at...Mia, Dom and Vince.

"Hey! What's up guys?" she asked, sitting up quickly and standing to hug Mia.

"Just thought we'd come to the beach and hang out." Mia said as Dom and Vince walked away,

"Who's he?"

"Oh! Sorry-this is my boyfriend, Adrian." Letty explained. Adrian leaned down and kissed Mia's hand and said "Absolutely spiffing to see you, ol' chap."

"You'll have to excuse him-he has an asshole disorder." Letty said as Mia looked at him strangely.

"So I guess I'll see you after school tomorrow?" Mia asked.

"You know it." Letty said, grinning.

"Letty, we gotta get back, babe." Adrian said, looking at his watch.

"Gimme a god damned minute, Adrian! I've known this girl since she was born!" Letty snapped.

"Okay, okay. Just know we gotta go pretty soon okay?" he said.

"Okay." For the next five minutes, Adrian watched Mia and Letty talk as he sat in his car. Letty ran up to the car and climbed in the window.

"Let's roll." she said, getting situated. Adrian pulled away and Mia watched as the car faded into the distance.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Letty and Adrian walked into his apartment and dumped their stuff on the floor in the living room.

"You hungry?" Adrian asked as they made their way to the kitchen.

"Starved."

"What d'you want?" he asked.

"What is there?" she asked, looking over his shoulder, "You need to go shopping more often." she said, looking at the pitiful remnants of food in the fridge.

"Guess we're havin' pizza then." Adrian said.

"Fine with me. Just get-"

"Half Hawaiian. I know you like the back of my hand, Let." he said, closing the fridge and picking up the phone.

"You do do you?" she asked seductively, walking into the living room. She sighed and plopped down on the couch, turning the small tv on and flipping through the channels. Nothing interesting was on so she grabbed an unmarked tape and put it in the vcr. She hit play and sat on the couch, wondering what it was. It turned out to be a home video of her, Adrian, Jesse and a group of other kids at the school festival. She watched as Adrian narrated(most of the time) the night away.

"And here we have my beautiful girlfriend, Leticia Eden Rodriguez." Letty looked at something behind the camera and snapped "Adrian what did I tell you about calling me that?"

"You said you'd kick my ass." Letty laughed at his response and made to grab the camera, which backed out of her grasp.

"Come on Adrian. I wanna shoot some stuff too." Letty complained. The camera went out of focus for a moment before refocusing on Adrian.

"And this, ladies and gentleman, is my ass of a boyfriend Adrian Cortez, who just fell for my bait."

"What was the trap?"

"You ain't gettin' your camera back." she said and Adrian's face dropped. The camera turned and began shaking up and down as she ran from Adrian. Jesse appeared in the lens and the camera ran towards him. "Jesse! Help me man. Adrian's out for my blood-I took his camera." said her voice. Suddenly she screamed and the camera fell to the ground.
The camera showed her and Adrian fighting playfully to get to the camera first and Adrian pinned her arms down before reaching for the camera. He started to lean down and kiss her but looked over at the camera. He reached over and the camera went dark.

Letty had pulled her legs to her chest and was watching the tape so intently she jumped when Adrian wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"Jumpy." he laughed and she flung her hand back aiming for his head.

"The pizza'll be here in about forty five minutes to an hour." he said, sitting upside down on the couch and placing his head on her lap.

"I'm bored. You need to get cable, man." Letty said, stroking his hair.

"I can think of one thing we could do." he said, grinning.

"I'm up for it." she said, grinning back. They left a trail of clothes on the way to their room, kissing passionately the entire way.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Letty snapped awake as the doorbell rang. "Hello?" she said as the doorbell rang again. "Oh shit-the pizza." she said, scrambling into one of Adrian's shirts and grabbing some money before runnng to the door.

"Sorry I took so long, I just got out of the shower ten minutes ago. Drying my hair, you know." she said.

"Twenty three fifty."

"For a fuckin pizza? Shit." she said, giving him the amount and tip. She bumped the door closed with her hip and opened the box.

"Yummy." she said, picking pineapple off her side and eating it. She put the pizza on the table and ran upstairs. Somehow, Adrian was still asleep. Normally he was like a horse to water with food. Like a damn magnet.

"Babe, pizza's here." she said, sitting beside him on the bed. He didn't respond the first time she said it or the second, so she stood on the bed and began to bounce on it. "Adrian, Adrian, time to get up, the pizza is here and I know you want some..." she sang as she bounced. Still he didn't respond and she bounced to her knees. "Adrian? You can quit playin' around now." she said. She reached out and took his pulse and could just barely feel it. "Shit. Phone...Phone.. PHONE!" she screamed as she found the phone and dialed 911.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"But you don't understand-he wouldn't do this! He had no reason to!" Letty said hysterically to Mia in the er.

"Ms. Rodriguez?" a doctor said into the waiting room.

"What? Is Adrian okay?" she yelled, jumping up.

"He's fine, Ms. Rodriguez. Adrian just took one too many of his prescription. Accidental overdose-he's been pumped and he's awake. Said he wanted to talk to you." the doctor said,
leading her to his room.

"Adrian?" she asked, peering around the curtain.

"Hey, Let. Did the pizza come?" he asked, jokingly.

"You nearly died and all you can think about is the fucking PIZZA?!" she hissed, tears streaming down her face.

"You know me." he said and she laughed through her tears.

"Yeah...I do." she said, sitting beside him on the bed. "I'm glad you're alive Adrian. I would've died if you hadn't survived. I love you so much, you know that?" she said, snuggling into his chest.

"Mmm hmm...I love you too. You gonna stay here all night?" he asked.

"Do you want me to?" she replied.

"Not if it hurts you. I know you don't like hospitals."

"I think I'll suffer it." she said, wrapping her arms around his chest and sighing. Adrian put his arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head before drifting off to sleep.

A/N: Like I said, not really important to the story except for the fact that it establishes the Letty/Adrian relationship and how close they are.
