Dom had made plenty of mistakes in his life. Letting Letty leave on the plane for the Dominican was his first mistake. She had pleaded with him and he was so hurt that he didn't want to hear it. He just wanted it to stop hurting and he thought the only way to do that was to make her leave.
He had never gone more than twelve hours not talking to her in his life. Those three months without her smile, without her voice without that laugh that got him through everything was torture. He needed her to breathe. Without her he would not have made it through his father's death.
That was a bond that connected them more than anyone could imagine. She had seen him at his worse and loved him through it. She didn't care if he broke everything in the room, she didn't care what he yelled at her. She would sit on the bed and listen to him. She would just be there, and he would never stop loving her.
"Let come on"
Dom whined from the bottom of the stairs. Letty walked out of the bathroom in her sweats. Hair curled and make up done but she just sat on the top step and put her elbows on her knees looking at him,
"I'm not going"
Dom chuckled and walked up the stairs sitting next to her,
"You made me put this monkey suit on. We're going"
Letty shook her head,
"No"
"Yes"
"Dominic I am not going to this stupid wedding."
Letty stood up and stomped off in to their room. Dom sighed chasing after her; he opened the door and saw her sitting against the wall. He sat with her until she was ready to talk,
"He's not my father. He's nothing to me. My dad died six months ago. How could she just move on so fast? Did he not mean anything to her?"
"I don't know Let'
"I mean he was a good dad. Sure he had his problems but what dad doesn't?"
Dom nodded and smiled as she kept going,
"She was probably cheating on him the whole time."
"She looks like a slut"
Letty laughed at him, and he smiled kissing her cheek making them stand up. He wiped the tear from her cheek and simply stated,
"Go put on that sexy dress. We'll get this over with, then I will rip it off of you and you will have the best sex of your life. Then we will eat a gallon of ice cream. You can watch Titanic and I will pretend too"
Letty smiled and put her hands on his cheeks.
"You know me too well"
Dom smiled and kissed her as she went to the bathroom to get changed.
Dom sighed from underneath the car that he was working on, thinking of the night he saw her with another guy. That night changed everything. He had never thought she would be one to break his heart like that. He gave it to her and thought she would protect it.
He heard the sound of heels coming his way. Bonnie; his fiancée. Was that ever weird to say for him, he had his mother's old ring sitting in the night side table in his bedroom but he couldn't build the courage to give it to her. So he settled for a cheap one from some jewelry store.
Every time he looked at his mother's ring, he saw Letty. He knew she was it's rightful owner and the dream gone now of her ever wearing it. He slide out from the car where Bonnie waited dressed in a frilly dress. He smiled,
"You look pretty"
She smiled,
"You think?"
He nodded standing up and wiping his hands.
"Going somewhere special?"
Her eyes grew wide and she looked at him,
"Dominic Torreto you did not forget"
Dom shrugged,
"I didn't forget what?"
"The engagement party"
Dom nodded,
"Right, I didn't."
She smiled and nodded kissing him gently on the lips. She walked out turning,
"I'll see you later"
He nodded and smiled. Bonnie was the opposite of Letty and he knew that. He figured out that, that's why he went for it with her. Somewhere in his mind he thought it would turn out differently.
But Bonnie was no Letty. Bonnie liked to be girly, she hated being at the garage, she always wanted to go out on dates and someone always had to be talking. But it kept his mind off things, and she was a good person. She had a good heart. But with Letty it was the silence that made them strong.
They could say things without having to say anything. Everything could be said in a kiss, in a touch. The look in her eye always giving her away. She was tough on the outside, but on the inside she was just as scared of the world as the rest of us.
Letty walked upstairs to find Dom in the bathroom looking at himself in the mirror. She smirked as she leaned against the door,
"Are you trying to figure out if your head got bigger?"
Dom laughed,
"Funny"
Tony had insisted on a graduation party and everyone down stairs was singing his praises. Letty smirked,
"Then what are you doing big boy?"
He shrugged and sat on the counter, Letty joined him and put a hand on his knee, and he started,
"They all think I am going to go somewhere in life. They think I could do things"
"You can babe"
He shook his head,
"I don't want too. I want to stay here"
"You're comfortable here. That's why"
He shook his head,
"No you're here"
Letty smiled and shrugged,
"Play your cards right and I may follow you"
Dom smiled as she hopped off the counter,
"But for now you have to follow me to your party"
Dom groaned and slide off the counter grabbing her hand as they walked downstairs to the backyard to the waiting guests.
The memory flood back to Dom as he stepped on to the beach for this grand party. A dance floor set up on the sand, a bar and the music was blasting under the white linen tents that were set up everywhere. Dom heard someone behind him and looked back. Letty smirked,
"This doesn't look like a Torreto party"
Dom smirked,
"It's not. It's all Bonnie"
"We'll let's go try and have some fun shall we?"
Dom nodded as they started walking towards the tents.
Alright. I surrender. No three parter. It'll be longer. You all know me too well
Thank you for all the reviews.
