For Detective-XO
Food
"Okay," Dom said rubbing his hands together in anticipation as he looked at the server behind the counter. "I want a Triple Stacker, a large fries and a large Sprite."
"Mmm sounds good." Letty piped up beside him and was rewarded with a smirk. "I'll have the same and a caramel sundae. Oh and I'll have coke not sprite."
"Diet?" The server asked in the board tone of someone who has spent the past six hours handing people little cardboard packages of fast food.
"No," Dom answered before Letty could even open her mouth. "And I'll have a caramel sundae too and a side order of onion rings, large."
"Nice." Untamed dark locks of hair in bounced as she nodded her head in approval of onion rings.
"Thought you'd like." Dom said with a grin and then turned quickly as the third member of their group pointedly cleared her throat. "Oh and what d'you want Anna?"
"I'll have a garden salad and a water." The leggy redhead, not natural Letty was sure she could see dark roots, said her voice all brittle and bright like glass before she flashed the younger girl an obviously fake smile.
Letty just tuned away, glad that her dark hair fell into her face so that no one would see her roll her eyes or shove her fist into her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. Anna Cavanaugh might have ordered her food but that wasn't what she really wanted. What the cow actually desired was to be alone with Dom in some fancy restaurant, not in a Burger King with him and especially not with Letty.
"I'll go get a table." She quickly offered and walked off before Dom could say anything. He could try and sooth his date without her standing there, besides if she stayed Letty was pretty sure she'd end up laughing in the other girl's face.
"Dom, I was thinking…" Anna started when the two of them sat down at Letty's chosen table, but stopped quickly when he failed to look at her and scowled with irritation. Dom wasn't bothering to listen to her more than that he wasn't even pretending to pay her any attention. He seemed more intent on battling with that pesky little Letty, the two of them were fighting over ketchup packets as if they were being rationed out.
XXXXXXXXXX
"I don't like her." Letty said some half an hour later as she settled herself comfortably in the front seat.
She'd been relegated to the back while 'BanAnna was with them but as soon as Dom had dropped off his latest piece of arm candy she'd been diving for the front. Dom had walked the redhead to her door and Letty had taken the opportunity to settle behind the wheel, not that he'd let her stay there when he returned, rather sooner than she'd expected, to the car.
"You're as bad as Mia," He groused half heartedly, as he changed gears with the ease of long practice. "Neither of you like anyone I date."
"They're all idiots that's why. Brain dead bits of fluff who wouldn't know an original thought if it bit them. And it's not as if they even like you, they just want to get into your pants or get you into their's." She stated and then quickly carried on before Dom could open his mouth. "And they're all stick insects who never eat anything, French fries are wasted on them."
"Unlike you?" He said glancing over just in time to see her attacking the strawberry milkshake she'd got just before they'd left. "You're no cheep date, that's for sure."
"So that's it huh?" Letty waved the strawberry shake in his direction, her eyebrows raised questioningly. "You want maximum put out with minimum pay out? You're disgusting… and cheap."
"And you've got a crude mouth on ya." Dom responded even as he reached for the milkshake she held towards him. "Remind me why I bring you with me?"
"I dunno." Letty shrugged, and it was true. She'd been out with Mia while Dom had been out with his date. Yet when Mister Toretto had arrived to collect her and Mia she'd somehow ended up going with Dom and his date to get food, it always seemed to end that way. "You're the one who practically drags me along."
Dom just grunted to that and the rest of the drive was conducted in silence. But it was a comfortable quite not like the somewhat tense atmosphere that had filled the car when it had been three of them in it. But all too soon they were pulling into their street and the Dom was gliding to a stop out side of her house.
"You coming by the garage tomorrow?" Dom questioned as Letty gathered her up her bag and jacket and tried to negotiate opening the door without dropping them or the remains of her shake.
"I'll be there." She grunted as she finally got the door open and slipped out. Letty banged the door shut with her hip and then stuck her head back in through the open window. "But you really need to ditch this one Dom. You can do better. I mean going to BK and ordering salad… it's like going to a whorehouse and just getting a hug."
"Goodnight Letty." He said in a firm tone to which she just shrugged, he did not want to know what a baby girl like Letty Ortiz knew about going to a whorehouse.
But he watched long enough to see her halfway up the path to her house before moving off. She did have a point about what food Anna had ordered, and that was not even mentioning the water. And that reminded him next time he'd have to get two orders of onion rings as Letty had once again pinched more than half.
(A/N) Kind of random I know, but it just seemed like it would be fun to write something a little bit normal for them. The down side is I am now craving French fries, which sucks. Keep spreading the Dotty Love.
