"Oh my God Letty, you have to tell me everything!" Mia told me way too happily for it being two in the morning.

I looked over at her as she sat on the corner of my bed leaning back against my bed frame as if she owned the place, typical Mia.

My Mom was on a late-shift at the hospital and Mia has had a key to my house for a while now, always putting it to use, I thought to myself.

"Oh my God, did you guys have sex? I can't believe it. My best friend just lost her virginity. They grow up so fast," She told me acting as if she was really emotional. It was way too early in the morning for this.

"One, I did not have sex on our first date. Do I look like a whore to you?" I looked at her menacingly. "You know what, don't answer that. And two - "

"Wait wait wait, " Mia said interrupting me, "Did you just say date? So you admit it was a date!"

Dangit.

Mia was always in my bussiness. I mean yes, she is my bestfriend, but sometimes I just need a breather. We're so different. She thinks things like these are such a big deal, she's such a girl, and well I'm just Letty.

"I don't know, you know Dom isn't really into titles, and neither am I," I told her honestly.

It was true, Dom nor I liked to put titles to things, it just complicated them. Dom never asked me out on a date, he never mentioned the word 'date'. He casually asked me to 'hangout'.

Ok, so maybe it wasn't that casual.

We were all hanging out in the living room watching some stupid horror movie that wasn't even scary, it had Mia pissing her pants though. Jesse and Leon and Mia took up the couch while Vince, Dom and I occupied the floor with blankets everywhere. Leon's phone rang, and as soon as he was finished talking he got up checked himself in the hallway mirror and said he'd see us tomorrow. Vince, Dom and I all bet money that he just got a booty call, Jesse put money that it was just his Mom checking up on his favorite little boy.

We all had a good laugh at the thought of Jesse as Mommy's little boy.

It was just past midnight when Jesse got up from the couch and told us he was heading home.

Mia then announced she was going to bed, when really everyone knew the movie was too intense for her.

That left Vince, Dom and I staring at each other as the movie credits started rolling around one in the morning.

Vince was the first to get up announcing he was going to bed as he made his way upstairs.

Which then left only Dom and I.

Neither of us moved from our laying positions on the blankets on the floor.

My head was lying in the crook of his neck and his arm was behind me. Dom and I had always been really comfortable with each other but never like this in front of the guys and Mia, that caused too much questions and unnecessary tension.

Dom and I had been 'hook up buddies' for a while now, and absolutely no one knew about it, not even Mia. I wouldn't call it friends with benefits simply because no sex was involved. It was basically just a bunch of making out all the time. I enjoyed his company, his touch, his lips, way too much to admit to him that I didn't want us to be like this, to be only this. I had never been in a serious relationship and I knew Dom wasn't a serious relationship type of guy, but I guess it still hurt I was only good enough to have some fun with and not good enough to actually be with. It almost made me feel like one of his skanks, the only thing that consoled me was the fact that I truly liked Dom, maybe even loved him.

"Letty, is something wrong?" He asked me taking me out of my thoughts.

He could always see through me, I hated it.

"No," I told him lightly lying through my teeth.

"You're so full of BS, seriously what's wrong?" He told me a little bit more harshly now.

"I don't like this anymore Dom." I told him bluntly while I emphasized with my hands that I meant us.

His eyes suddenly looked hurt so I tried to back peddle.

"I mean it's fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not right, and we both know it." I told him a little more gently while making sure to never let my eyes leave his face.

"Wait are you trying to tell me you just want to be friends?"

As hard as this conversation already was for me, he wasn't making it any easier.

"No Dom, nevermind, you just don't get it." I told him getting up from where we lay and grabbing my hoody that was on the kitchen table.

"Then make me get it," He told me as he followed me towards the kitchen.

"Whatever this is, it isn't enough for me," I told him as I looked down at my feet, too afraid to meet his eyes.

"You want to have sex?" He asked me looking way too happy and shocked about the thought.

I pushed his chest back hard, "No you imbecile! Never mind!"I yelled back at him as I stormed my way to the door before he spun me around and pinned me against the door.

God he was hot, and mere inches from my face - no snap out of it, I thought.

His eyes looked into mine questioningly before he kissed me, I kissed him back just as passionately.

We had done this dozens of times, but this time it felt different, it felt like our first real kiss, with real feelings that hopefully I wasn't imagining he had.

"Want to hang out Friday night?" He asked me softly trying to regain his breath.

"Depends what you mean by 'hangout' " I told him.

"You know...hangout"

"No, I don't know," I said back to him, I was going to make him work for it.

"Just a nice night for the two of us Letty, ok?" I could tell he was super uncomfortable with saying the word 'date' but it was cute to see his struggle.

"Ehh, I'll think about it," I told him with the biggest smirk on my face.

He didn't answer, just leaned down and kissed me some more, I was totally more than ok with that.

"Do you want me to tell you what happened or not Mia?" I told her losing patience with the big deal she made out of it.

"Yes, yes tell me, I promise I'll shut up," She pleaded to me before finally silence fell upon my room before I began to talk.

It was almost 8:30 at night and Dom told me to be ready at 7:00. I was most definitely starting to lose any gleam of patience I had left.

I looked at myself in the mirror wearing a skin tight red top, skinny jeans and my combat boots. Who was I kidding? I took off my top and put on a plain black shirt instead with a sleeveless jean jacket on top, much more casual.

I mean who was I trying to impress? Dom? The guy I'd know for more than half of my life that used to pull my lollipops out of my mouth when I was 7. That called 911 when I fell from a swing when I was 9 when I only scraped my knees. A guy who couldn't even admit he asked me out on a date tonight, yup that was him.

I knew I was in way over my head.

I was barely 17 years old and Dom had just turned 19. He was older, attractive, liked by everyone. I on the other hand a pretty decent body, a really loud laugh, a super short temper and well...I just really couldn't compare to him.

I heard a knock on the door taking me out of my thoughts.

I grabbed my sling over purse and walked down stairs to open the door.

As soon as I opened it I found a smiling Dom leaning against my door frame. He was wearing blue jeans and a red V-neck that showed off his muscles. He looked exceptionally nice, dammit I shouldn't have changed. He saw me look him over only adding a bigger smile and another boost to his ego.

"Ready?" He asked me.

"Yeah," I told him not even bothering to bring up that he was more than an hour late. I didn't want to start this night off in an argument.

We both walked silently towards his car. I felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest.

I had no reason to be nervous, I'd only known Dom almost my entire life, but never like this. He opened the passenger door for me, and our faces met before we started cracking up.

Dom opening the door for me? I know most girls would die for a guy to do something like that for them but I wasn't most girls and Dom knew that.

After finally controlling our laughter at the situation, I feel like we both lightened up and the pressure was off. I got in the passengers seat and listened to the purr of the car underneath me, it was calming.

That is until Dom put on a radio station he liked, it pretty much played all the music that was played in the clubs, of course he'd like it. I looked over at him, "Seriously?"

"What you don't like it?" He asked innocently.

I grabbed the tuner and turned it onto my favorite radio station which only played rock music, old or new, it didn't matter it was good music.

"Seriously?" He asked me. I just answered him by turning up the music louder and rocking out in my seat as if I was at a concert.

He seemed too amused with me singing along to the words to change it back to his station, and at every red light he never missed the chance to kiss me, I didn't mind.

I never bothered asking him where exactly we were going, I had no standards. I had been on a date before but never with Dominic Toretto, he had his own standards, so I didn't even bother comparing them.

Five minutes later and the car came to a stop in a parking lot near a nice looking restaurant called "La Vita." It must have be italian, figures Dom has always been impatient in waiting for his food to arrive, I guess this restaurant worked for him because he could eat the breadsticks while he waits.

I opened my own door this time, and walked in with Dom's arm over my shoulders and mine behind his back. I could get used to this.

After the waitress lead us to our table we sat down on the same side of the table. "Get anything you'd like Let," He told me sweetly.

I was starting to forget the Dom that I thought I knew and starting to love the one right next to me. He was so different when he didn't have to put up his huge façade.

I was looking over my menu when Dom spoke up, but not at me. "Hey Chelsea, is that you?" Dom said to a girl that was making her way by our table.

"Oh my God, Dom? Wow you look great! I haven't seen you in years, how's everything going?" She asked him way too enthusiastically touching his shoulder.

I knew this girl, I hated this girl.

She was one of Dom's ex's back from High School - one of his most annoying ex's. She had fairly pale skin and brunette long cascading hair, green eyes, and a really nice smile. I knew why I hated her back then, same reason I hate her now, she's perfect.

I don't even remember why they ever broke up, they went out for a few months and then one day he never mentioned her again and no one ever saw her again, that is until today.

"You look great too," He told her.

Hell no - he did not just say that with me right next to him.

"Nothing much but the usual, the garage, the guys, racing," He told her.

Infuriated didn't even begin to explain what I was feeling right about now. I was being completely ignored by Dom on a date while he flirted with his perfect ex in front of me. I didn't need this shit. Everything I thought about the 'different' Dom dissappeared out of my mind and was now filled with a burning rage.

I got out of my seat and announced to them I was going to the bathroom as calmly as I could.

Finally one of them decided to acknowledge me, and it wasn't Dom. "Oh, wow Letty, you're not so little anymore!" She told me looking me over.

"Damn right," I told her as I walked past her while flipping her off as I walked away and out of the restaurant.

I didn't care who saw.

I knew that soon enough Dom would actually bother getting up and looking for me, so whatever I was going to do I had to do it quick.

I walked myself out of the restaurant and found his car right where he left it.

I pulled out his keys from my pocket that I had sneaked from the table while he admired Chelsea and pulled the car out of that parking lot as fast as my anger allowed me.

I didn't know where exactly I was going, but anywhere was better than with Dom. I didn't care about having to face his wrath when he found me because I was too pissed to think about anything but the moment I was living.

I then remembered about a party Mia had told me that one of her friends was throwing tonight, but she couldn't go because she had some school thing. I made my way to the garage and found a flyer of the party in the office on her desk. I grabbed it before speeding myself there.

I could've just gone home, and let him walk home but that would've been too easy. It's no punishment, too predictable.

Now if he found me at a wild party he'd definitely have a hissy fit.

And if he saw me with a guy there, he'd flip shit.

That's exactly the reaction I wanted.

After turning off the car and getting out I went inside to find bodies of teenagers everywhere. Some even fully clothed in the pool, they had to be drunk.

I walked around trying to pick my victim, but the more I walked around the stupider I felt.

Here I was at a party trying to find some random guy to make out with to make Dom jealous.

What the hell was wrong with me?

I was in love with a guy who was a total player, and would never choose me over everyone else he could have.

I knew this, but yet I still couldn't disconnect the idea of him and I, I was pathetic.

"Letty?" I heard someone yell my name over the roar of the music.

It had to be him.

I looked over at a guy who was near where I was standing sitting on a bench near the pool.

I hoped to God that he was drunk because he'd have to be for this to work.

I walked up to him before sitting down next to him and throwing myself onto him as if my life depended on it. He was caught off guard but didn't push me away, just kissed me back. I could taste the alcohol on his lips, yes, he was definitely drunk.

"What the hell!" I heard him yell before he was yanked away from me leaving me breathless from the rage in Dom's face.

"She's taken," He said lowly. Before he grabbed his shirt collar and pushed him in the pool.

I couldn't believe him. Two hours ago he was flirting with his ex in front of me and now I was taken by him - that's not how things worked.

I could tell we had created a crowd of drunk teenage onlookers, so I decided to save the show for the car ride home, that is if I got in the car with him, though I knew I would just so I could yell at him.

He followed me as I stormed out and made my way back to his car. I threw him his keys and got in the passengers side, this way I could yell while at him without having to focus on the road.

"Letty..," He said softly as he turned on the car.

"No, don't Letty me you asshole -"

"Asshole? You were the one who ditched me, stole my car and drove off to a wild party to have me find you making out with some idiot on our d- date!" He told me having a hard time getting the word 'date' out, If I wouldn't have been so mad I might've enjoyed hearing him say it.

"Maybe that wouldn't have happened if you wouldn't have been flirting with Miss Perfect right in front of me! God Dom I thought you were different when you're with me, but turns out your the same fucking asshole I've known all my life." I looked over at him as I let all my rage out, and could see his eyes lose anger that turned into hurt. I knew he deserved what I was telling him, but it still hurt me to know I hurt Dom.

"I'm sorry that's how you feel about me," He whispered softly before turning off the car and getting out to walk out onto the beach in front of him.

With all my yelling I hadn't even realized where he was driving, he took us to the closest beach near L.A. The one we always used to go to.

I was still pissed off at the entire night but I knew Dom was really upset, so I sucked it up and got out of the car and followed him.

He ended up sitting on the sand near the shore, so I sat next to him.

"Look Dom - " I began to say.

"No, Letty this isn't your fault, you're right, I ruined the night. I'm sorry," I looked up at him to only find sincerity in his eyes.

"I didn't make the night any better," I confessed trying to not let him take the whole blame.

"No, you really didn't," He told me with a smirk on his face.

"I can't help my territory problems Let, and I won't apologize for them." He told me placing his hand on my thigh which affected me way more than I'd like to admit.

"Well Dom I'm not your territory. I wanted to hang out with you because I didn't want this just to be something physical, I'm not one of your skanks. And if this isn't what you want then I get that but I won't go back to how it use to be either," I told him moving his hand from my thigh, I had to be strong, because he needed to hear it.

"But I like this, us" He whispered.

"Yeah, Dom but what happens when we have a party after the races and there's a thousand girls leaping onto you wearing barely nothing, what happens to me then? Do I just sit and watch? I'm a lot of things but a lap dog isn't one of them." I told him bluntly.

A request from aray48 for a first date chapter. Here it is. R&R and leave any requests of what you want to see in the reviews. Love you guys Xo.

"Letty, at the end of the day you're the girl on my mind."

I almost laughed at him.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

"Look Let, I can't promise you I'm perfect, or that us being together would be a perfect relationship, but can you tell me one relationship that is? When my Dad was alive he always told me relationships were a lot of work, I never believed him because I took the easy way out. I didn't let myself get attached, I didn't let feelings exist because it made me feel weak." He told me and before he got to continue I kissed him out of nowhere.

He let himself fall back into the sand with me on top of him. "Let where- ," He began but I interrupted. "Shh, now tell me did that make you feel weak?" "Not the first word that comes to mind," He told me with a laugh, before kissing me again.

I knew a relationship between Dom and I was never going to be easy. There'd be a lot of yelling and arguments. A lot of 'I told you so's, jealousy and cocky grins. A hell of a lot of Dom's ego and and my temper.

But as I looked into his eyes now, I couldn't find one problem with a relationship like that. I couldn't find one flaw to Dominic Toretto.
