The party had ended and Letty heard Vince yelling for her. She looked over her shoulder and smiled as he walked closer to her,
"Hey baby girl"
"Hey"
"You missed the party"
Letty shrugged,
"With that one joining the family there will always be another party."
Vince put an arm around her shoulder,
"Let, she's never really going to be family."
Letty shrugged,
"Dom sure wants her to be"
"Well we both know Dom doesn't always have the best judgement"
Letty nodded,
"Oh I know"
Vince smiled as they started walking to the car together, Letty looked at him,
"V"
He hummed,
"Do you think that if I had stayed after everything, this would be me and Dom?"
Vince stopped and looked at her,
"Regretting the past?"
"We've all made stupid mistakes"
"But you made one you can't forget"
"Basically"
Vince smiled as they reached her car, Letty put her back against the car and Vince stood in front of her putting a hand on her shoulder,
"I know him. I know you. And Bonnie isn't for him. He doesn't look at her or touch her the way he did with you. Ever, and I don't think he would have done this if…"
Letty raised her eyebrow,
"If…"
Vince shook his head,
"Secret"
Letty scoffed,
"Whatever, sometimes I just want to slap that stupid too perky smile off her face"
Vince roared in laughter attracting Dom's attention as he got in his car, he eyed his two oldest friends and they looked a little too comfortable to him, he slid in the car as he watched them. Letty smiled and shrugged,
"I mean it"
"I know you do, but does this mean my little Leticia is finally getting her back bone back? And you're getting your man back?"
Letty shrugged,
"Not like it's worth a try V, he's been engaged for almost a year now. He's over me, I have to move on"
Vince shrugged,
"Or you could jump him"
Letty rolled her eyes,
"I'm sure he would appreciate that"
"I'm sure he'd love it."
Letty nodded a little bit as Vince walked away we looked over his shoulder and simply told her,
"Just don't tell him it was a mistake again."
Letty's eyes grew wider,
"How the hell did you?"
Vince shrugged and pointed to himself,
"Best friend status has its perks"
Letty put her hands up and got in her car driving home to her nice cozy little apartment. She loved her apartment, it was her. The dark red walls and the cozy couches made it felt safe, it felt like home. She remembered the day she moved in,
She had enlisted Vince to help her with the move. She didn't have much to move in. Her one bedroom apartment was just the right size for her. Vince collapsed on the floor after carrying in a box, Letty kicked him and he groaned,
"If you have to die can you go do it in the hall?"
Vince laughed and opened one eye at her,
"I love you too and I would love a glass of water"
Letty laughed stepping over him, to the kitchen. She grabbed a bottle off the counter and walked back over handing it to him. Vince was now sitting against the wall and Letty joined him,
"You could have just moved back in to the house"
Letty laughed,
"And move in to my old room"
Vince smirked,
"You could always get back in the sack with Dom already"
Letty rolled her eyes and grabbed the water bottle, and took a drink.
"I don't think that will happen."
Vince shrugged,
"You never know"
Letty stood up,
"And say what V? I'm sorry I almost had sex with another guy in our bed? Doesn't really roll off the tongue"
Vince laughed and looked over to the door to where Dom was walking in with doughnuts and coffee. Letty smiled,
"Hey"
Dom smiled,
"Hey, thought you two would need some sort of food"
Vince nodding standing up and grabbing the box, Letty climbed on to the stool and smiled,
"You didn't have to do that"
Dom shrugged,
"We decided to stop by before heading out"
Letty raised an eyebrow,
"We?"
Dom nodded and looked down a little bit, Vince asked him as his doughnut fell out of his mouth,
"Spit it out Dominic"
Dom sighed and looked at Letty,
"Bonnie and I are going out tonight"
Letty tilted her head,
"Bonnie?"
"My girlfriend"
Vince choked on his doughnut and the couple turned to look at him, Vince shook his head,
"Girlfriend?"
Dom nodded leaving Letty's eyes to look at Vince,
"Yeah I better go"
Letty nodded,
"I'm happy for you"
Dom looked at her and smiled a little bit. He walked out and Letty looked at Vince. Vince put his hands up,
"I didn't know"
Letty nodded,
"I shouldn't have told him I was happy."
Vince looked at her as he took a bite,
"Duh"
Letty sat on her bed braiding her now wet hair. She turned on the news; she liked having noise in the back ground. Living in the Torreto house her whole life she was used to noise. The quiet made her feel alone.
The memory of her and Dom saying I love you for the first time playing through her mind,
"Let, will you please hurry the hell up"
Letty sighed and opened the bedroom door and pointed at him, from upstairs,
"If this wasn't for you I would not be doing this"
"You wanted me to take you out on more dates"
"And after a year and a half you finally listen"
Dom rubbed his head,
"God woman if I didn't love you"
Letty opened the door wider, still wearing his old high school t-shirt, her eyes softening a little bit and her lips twitching into a smile as she asked,
"What?"
They had both been thinking of saying it for a long time but neither wanting to say it first. A smile spread across Letty's face as she looked at the smug smile on his face that had emerged,
"Will you just get ready?"
Letty laughed as she walked down the stairs to where he was standing, stopping a step away from him,
"And if I don't?"
Dom smiled as he put his hands on her hips,
"Then all this effort will be for nothing. I planned an amazing night"
Letty smiled and hugged him around the neck,
"It wouldn't be for nothing"
Dom smiled against her hair as he smelled in her scent of her freshly washed hair,
"Oh yeah"
Letty nodded and whispered,
"Because if I didn't love you too I wouldn't have washed my hair"
Letty smiled as she remembered the memory, and slowly drifted off to sleep to the memories of her happier days.
So here's the deal, I had written a whole chapter but something bugged me about it so I didn't post it. I used pieces of it in this chapter.
Thanks for reading, reviews are always nice. Try to post another tonight.
