A/N I want to give thanx to the people that have reviewed my first chapter, I like to dedicate this chapter to my cousin who's in the hospital right now. She always encouraged me to write and therefore I decided to update this so soon, I hope you'll be okay Melanie.
She started to back up, there were a million thoughts running trough her head. She came here to get away from all the Toretto-shit and now she's got a job working for one. She couldn't stay here, she didn't want to. She turned around and started running towards the door.
Just get in the car and leave…get in and leave, this voice in her head kept saying this and she was willing to listen. She got out the door and ran right into Mike.
"You're leaving already?" Mike asked with a huge grin on his face when he looked into Letty's eyes. The eyes he hadn't seen since he was sixteen years old.
"Yeah..I'm..uh..I can't stay here, sorry." Letty answered looking down and now hiding her eyes who were full of tears. She just wanted to leave, she tried to get past Mike but he wouldn't let her.
He gently pushed her chin up so she would look at his face, he looked very serious but she could see the pain in his eyes.
"Letty stay….please? I missed you." Mike said and Letty couldn't answer, she buried her face in his chest and started crying.
Mike just held her and he suddenly thought about the morning he was forced to leave.
--Flashback--
It was getting light already, if he wanted to get home without no one noticing he was gone most off the night he needed to be home in a couple of minutes.
A few jobs and then I'm gonna take it easy and just race for the team to get some money. Last night was a real tuna-night…real crappy. Only two cars of the five I wanted to boost.
Mike pulled up to the house, got out of his car and walked to the door. He quietly opened the door and looked right into the angry eyes of Dom.
"Where the hell were you?" he yelled
"Out" Mike simply replied and tried to walk past him to get to my room. He stopped me and pulled me back.
"Not good enough, where were you?" Dom yelled again, and if you looked real closely you could almost see the fire burning in his eyes.
"Just out, I can go out you know…you're not my father, he died two years ago…you were there, remember" Mike yelled back.
"I know what you've been doing and your not gonna do it anymore. We don't need this shit" Dom yelled while pushing Mike against the door.
"If you know what I'm doing then you know it's easy money and I'm not gonna stop." Mike pushed Dom back and was getting as angry as Dom was.
"Is that your final decision?" Dom said now with a more serious tone of voice, while opening the front door.
"Yeah." Mike replied, Dom sounded less angry and Mike thought his rage was ending. But then Dom's fist came out of nowhere and punched Mike right in the face, because of the force behind the hit Mike fell and landed on his back on the steps.
"Then you're not living here and you're not my brother anymore." Dom yelled and slammed the door shut
--End Flashback--
Mike came back to reality and noticed Letty wasn't crying anymore but just holding him. He looked down and she looked up at him. "We need to talk?" He said and Letty just nodded.
They went into the office and started talking about what happened in the past, about Mia, about Leon and Jesse who Mike didn't know because they came after he left. Letty didn't tell him anything what happened during the time they did the heists.
"This Chiara, who works across the street, is she your girlfriend?" Letty asked
"Nah, never… just a friend, a really good friend, but just a friend. She helped me when I got here, she got me a job and a place to stay. And you and Dom are over?" Mike asked in return.
"How'd you guess. I needed to take a break," She said "When I told you we were together before, you didn't even seem surprised"
"I came back to LA a couple off years ago and I found out you two were together and happy, so I left again" Mike explained.
"And tell me what happened when you guys did the heists?" Mike knew she wasn't expecting this question and was quite startled by it.
"How do you know about that?" Letty was shocked.
"I got my sources, can't reveal them though" Mike smiled. Letty started telling him the entire story and he listened to every word of it.
After a couple off hours catching up, Mike thought it was time for the most important question there is.
"Will you please stay and work here?" Mike asked and Letty sighed and then nodded.
-----------------------------TWO MONTHS LATER ------------------------
Letty and Mike were working together now, most of the time they were both at the garage. Unless Mike had to go to Miami to pick up some parts, which caused Letty to work alone for a couple of hours. They had lunch at Chiara's bar and the three of them all lived above the bar. Letty was happy where she was right now but she was starting to miss her family in LA.
Letty was thinking about Mike, but then quickly stopped herself. It seemed like Mike was starting to invade her thoughts more and more. When they were together she was thinking about what he might be thinking off. When he wasn't around she was thinking about what he could be doing now and if he was thinking of her.
-----------------------------------------AT THE BAR-----------------------------------------------------
Mike was at the bar and was having a work-related talk with Chiara. But he was lost in thought.
"Mike...Mike, are you there?" Chiara asked waving her hand in front of Mike's face.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." Mike replied when he heard Chiara saying something.
"What's up with you, you have been so distracted lately, is something wrong" Chiara asked sounding worried.
"No nothing, just tired I guess" He tried to act casual about this.
Chiara shook her head and laughed: "Look at this face, this is the face of someone who's not buying it, so spill it."
"Alright, I'm thinking about Letty" Mike confessed and Chiara asked further: "What about Letty, not as good a mechanic you thought she would be?"
"No she's a great mechanic that's not it" Mike replied.
"You have feelings for her then" Mike didn't reply and she knew she was right with that one.
"So the old feelings are rekindled?" Chiara continued and Mike looked surprised
"What? I'm not stupid, When you first came here you were clearly upset and there had to be a girl involved. I know you're from LA and you even went back to see someone. When you came back you said you didn't find what you were looking for. Letty comes by and you gave her the job without hesitation….it's too easy, you have to be really stupid not to get it" Chiara explained and Mike couldn't find any way to tell her she was wrong so he just nodded.
"I better get back to the garage or else Letty'll gets pissed" Mike said and walked out towards the garage. He didn't want to talk about his feelings for Letty anymore and if he stayed longer she would keep mentioning it.
-------------------------------------AT THE GARAGE----------------------------------------------------
Letty had enough of it she was going to find out how things are going in LA she stood up and went to the phone.
She dialled the number of the house, hoping Mia was there alone. She didn't have the need to talk to anyone else but her.Everyone else would just keep asking her to come home, Mia would understand she needed time.
She let it ring a couple of times and just before she decided to hang up she heard a voice on the other end.
"Hello?" it was Mia's voice, Letty hesitates to answer.
After a couple off seconds she let out a soft "Hi Mia"
