For Paul. We miss you everyday.

They had spent hours at the beach, with Letty in Dom's lap, his arms around her comfortably; complete silence settled between them as they watched the sunset and shut the rest of the world out. They weren't quite sure when they had made the decision to actually head back to Dom's car and back home, but by the time they had, the house was silent and dark.

Letty felt partially irritated with herself that she hadn't seen Mia, Brian or Jack all day. But another part of her felt content with the fact she'd spent the entire day with Dom and it had been alright, good, actually. And they had worked things out, as much as they could and they were back to as normal as they could be.

With a muttered good night and kiss on the cheek, they'd both split to go to bed without any other words. It was weird, in a way, that they had spent the entire day together and almost all of it was spent wordless. But she didn't care, it was comfortable and it was what she needed. It was what she had always needed when things had blown up and she had lost herself and then found herself getting drawn into this family she didn't remember but supposedly knew. She needed the feeling of being completely comfortable.

Letty laid awake for hours after they'd parted, her gaze on the ceiling and her fingers entwined and resting on her stomach; the convers kicked to the bottom of the bed at her feet and her long hair flowing freely over the pillows. Despite the content feeling Dom had left her with, something was still nagging at her in her head and keeping her awake.

A million questions kept kicking against her brain and rumbling around in her head and she was growing even more frustrated by the second, frustrated that she couldn't answer any of the questions her subconscious could come up with. She sat up suddenly, sucking her bottom lip in between her teeth and nibbling on it mindlessly. She tapped her fingers on the mattress in a way of fighting against the words keeping her awake.

Before she knew it, Letty was on her feet and crossing the room and out of the door. She stalked across the hallway barefoot and wearing only pyjama shorts and a tank top. She stopped outside the bedroom door, considered knocking but thought better of it and walked into the room. The Latina perched herself on the edge of the bed, fighting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness in the room to be able to make out the shape of the body in the bed. By the breathing patterns, she was certain the person wasn't aware of her presence and that they were in fact still fast asleep. She took in a deep breath and let her words flow out in a whisper. "Dom…"

She felt him stir next to her and fought against the pang of guilt she had for waking him up.

"Let?" he murmured in sleepy confusion. "Baby – " He cut off immediately when reality hit him and what he had called her all those years ago wasn't something she was used to anymore. He panicked, wanting nothing more than to pretend he hadn't said it, he didn't want to freak her out. He shuffled to a sitting position quickly. "Letty, you okay?"

Letty felt her heart stop. She swallowed against the lump in her throat and pushed herself to ignore it and accept his quick words to poorly cover it up. It was evident he wanted to ignore it and pretend he hadn't said it as much as she did. She cleared her throat lightly. "Can't sleep," she spoke quietly. She ran her hands through her tangled dark hair and sighed. "I just have so many things on my mind, even after today and everything we talked about and we cleared the air and everything but I just – ...Have a lot of questions." Her last words came out in a whisper, her voice showing a faint tone of defeat and Dom knew instantly she wouldn't have let that sound slip into her words in front of anybody else, and he was also very lucky she had even done so in front of him anyway.

"What questions?" he coaxed softly. Her eyes flickered over him, her sight now fully adjusted to the darkness and she could now see him properly. She let his words linger between them briefly as she carefully considered if she actually wanted to share her thoughts with him again, or if they were even worth sharing.

She sighed in faint frustration before she crawled over him and shimmied under the covers into the bed next to him. She pulled the sheets up over her legs and let them flop down in front of her lazily as she leant against the headboard, her eyes dead in front of her.

"Like…just little things." Her words were mumbled and she still felt his eyes on her.

"Like what?" He asked when she kept losing her push to telling him.

"Like…" she cleared her throat "You and Elena." Her words were quiet but not lost on Dom. He shuffled slightly in discomfort and she felt him tense next to her. She groaned slightly at the fact she'd actually gone through with telling him and then moved down in the bed so she was now lying on her back and staring at the ceiling of the spare bedroom instead of the bedroom they had once shared.

Dom watched her carefully before he consciously made the decision to follow in her wake and shuffle back to his lying position next to her, his eyes on the ceiling also. He attempted to clear his throat but gave up when it didn't help the lump that had been stuck there. "What about me and Elena?" He asked carefully before stealing a glance over at her. "You can ask me whatever you like about it, Letty."

Letty sighed faintly and met his eyes with a side-look. "I don't know if I even want to know," she mumbled. A smile pulled at Dom's lips and Letty froze, taking it in and not being able to come to any kind of conclusion as to why he would smile at their conversation topic. "What are you smiling at?" She finally asked in faint irritation.

Dom wiped the look off his face quickly as he contemplated a way of explaining himself without sounding smug, but he concluded that it was impossible but powered through anyway, knowing full well that she would have pushed and pushed until he answered anyway. "Um, just, you wouldn't have liked it, huh? The details." Letty raised a suspicious eyebrow. "You'd feel jealous." He mumbled his last words, unsure if she had even heard.

Of course she had heard but she couldn't seem to pull her eyes away from him, despite the fact he wasn't looking at her anymore and that she felt a burning sensation in her cheeks. And that was when she realised he was right. The Latina made a noise in the back of her throat that was somewhere between a defeated groan and a irritated growl as she folded her arms over her chest and the covers and looked back at the ceiling.

Dom chuckled lightly at the sound and looked back over at her. "Sorry," he muttered, it was sincere even if he was still amused by the reaction. He wasn't sure if it was her confession or denial of the feeling but he didn't really mind either way, he shouldn't have expected it sincerely; she couldn't remember, after all. She couldn't remember their relationship or how she truly felt about him once upon a time so she had nothing to be jealous of, nothing to compare it to.

"You walked away," Letty's voice caught him off guard slightly and he looked over to her where she still wasn't looking at him. "You left her," her gaze found him once again with an unreadable expression on her features. "You walked away for me…Why?"

Dom sucked in a breath through his teeth and boldly kept the eye-contact. "You're the love of my life." Letty felt her chest ache, her breathing stop and her stomach flutter out of its confines all at once. "You have been since we were teenagers, hell, even when we were kids and you lived down the street. You were then, you are now and you will be no matter what. I'm not stupid enough to let that go again and there's no way in hell that I'd ever want to. You're the one, whether you know it or not."

This chapter was originally going to be longer but isn't for two reasons. One, I wanted to get it done really quickly to get it up for today for Paul. And two, because I wanted to end it on those words because Dom is perfect and it's cute as fuck, let's be honest.

Please review and let me know what you think and I'll try and update with a longer chapter or quicker or both to make up for the shortness of this one. Hope you enjoyed it! x
