Letty was changing in to a pair of jeans and slipping on an oversized sweater when she heard a knock on the door. She sighed; she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone after what just happened. She sighed as the knocking continued, she walked out to the door pulling her hair into a messy bun on the top of her head. She was shocked when she saw Dom standing there,

"I ran in to someone on the way out"

Letty raised an eyebrow at him,

"Who?"

Then she heard it, the unmistakably voice of her mother.

"It's me"

Letty rolled her eyes,

"What are you doing here?"

Her mother waved her off and hugged her tightly. Letty looked at Dom and he just rolled his eyes at her. Letty pulled back,

"Mom what are you doing here?"

"I missed you"

Letty smiled,

"That's nice but I have a busy day ahead. I don't have time"

"Nonsense"

Her mother turned to Dom,

"Can she have the day off?"

Letty pursed her lips at him and shook her head a little bit. Dom smiled,

"Of course she can Julia"

She hugged Dom and pulled away patting his arm,

"You were always my favorite"

Dom smiled,

"I better get going"

Julia nodded and smiled,

"Of course go go"

Letty gave him one more look and he shook his head at her. He was pissed she couldn't just think if she told him it was a mistake that he would just pretend like nothing happened.

Of course he still loved her, with everything inside of him but what did it matter now? He was engaged, he was getting married in two months. That's not something you call off for something that was never easy.

With Bonnie it was calm and he knew she wasn't going anywhere. It was safe and comfortable. Letty had always been a different kind of safe, she could hold her own and he knew that. She didn't want to be pampered. She wanted to feel loved. She wanted the attention, the small gestures. While Bonnie wanted grand gestures everyone saw and Dom wasn't the best at those.

Dom remembered when it was simple with Letty and he wished it had always stayed that way,

Letty had been angrily texting him all day about her mother trying to buy her dresses, and convince her to be more of a woman. Dom knew when she got home she would be pissed off. Her mother had never accepted Letty as Letty.

She tried to change her, and he knew that was the under lining problem in their relationship. Julia wanted a girly girl like herself while Letty has that side in her it just never emerged very often.

Dom had sent Mia and Vince out of the house to do something for the night. Vince going to a club with a couple buddies and Mia staying at a friend's house to finish a project, Dom was alone in the house waiting for the storm to hit.

He heard the door open and she threw her bags on the floor. Dom looked at her from the doorway of the bathroom where he was washing his hands,

"Hey"

Letty shook her head sitting on the stairs,

"I don't know how I came from that"

Dom laughed sitting next to her, and kissed her hair as Letty put her hands on his leg. It was quiet and Dom could feel Letty relaxing at their embrace, he grabbed her hand,

"Come on"

Letty looked up at him as he stood up,

"What?"

Dom smiled and tugged her arm a bit; Letty stood up and followed him in their bedroom. When she opened the door she saw the tulip sitting on her side of the bed. She smiled,

"You remembered"

He nodded,

"Course I did"

Tulips were Letty's favorite. She liked the simple look to them, and she loved that they started off closed and then opened in to something more beautiful and bold. Letty turned and hugged him.

He put his arms around her and rubbed her back,

"Is she leaving again?"

Letty nodded in his chest,

"Only here for a day to see me, then back to Hollywood."

"Well Eddie is a producer"

"I know what he does Dom."

She sighed,

"Sorry. I just wish she would just accept the fact that I'm not going to change"

Dom guided her to the bed, Letty sat on the edge of it while he kneeled in front of her,

"Hey, it's her loss. But she just wants a relationship Let"

"She wants an accessory"

Dom shrugged, and tackled her to the bed as he pushed the hair out of her face,

"You're my best accessory"

Letty laughed, and raised an eyebrow,

"Oh yeah?"

He nodded, and put his head in her shoulder whispering to her,

"For the last seven years all I've ever wanted by my side is you. She's your mom babe, as much as you might not like her she's still your mom"

Letty nodded rubbing his head,

"I know…do me a favor?"

Dom nodded,

"Anything"

"If I become like that with our kids, stop me"

Dom kissed her neck,

"You will be an amazing mom Let"

They stayed wrapped up in each other for a little while longer before Letty asked,

"Where is everyone?"

"I sent them away"

"Oh and why is that?"

"I thought you could use some Dom time"

Letty laughed and grabbed his face smiling as she kissed him, she pulled away and smiled,

"I am not in the mood for sex"

Dom smirked,

"That's not what I was talking about"

Letty raised an eyebrow as he kissed her again. She felt him smile against her lips and pulled away,

"Alright it's not entirely what I was talking about. I got you some jelly beans"

"Just the-"

Dom nodded kissing her and whispering,

"The orange, yellow and blue ones and there might be that super expensive chocolate on the counter"

Letty's eyes went wide and smiled,

"I knew I kept you around for a reason"

Dom laughed as neither of them made an effort to move off the bed just yet. It was a simple moment alone that meant the world to each of them. They didn't have to put up any walls. The little gestures in knowing each other in every way possible was all they ever needed.

Dom sighed and rubbed his head mumbling,

"Shit"

As he ran back up the stairs of her apartment, he took it too far. He had to go get her out of there. She was a pain in the ass and they fought but he knew that sticking her with her mother wasn't the right thing to do.

He decided knocking wasn't the answer so he walked in pretending to be in a panic. Letty looked at him from the couch and gave him a weird look,

"What is your problem?"

"I need you to come with me. Now"

Letty wasn't buying his fake panic and he knew it. Her mother however was all over it,

"Dominic sweetie what is it?"

Letty raised an eyebrow from behind her mother's back and smirked,

"Yeah, Dom what's the problem?"

"I just really have to get this car done. I completely forgot they were picking it up today. I need extra hands."

Julia turned to Letty,

"You should go help him"

Letty shook her head,

"No, he can call Vince"

"Vince is busy"

Julia stepped out of the way and looked at the two of them shooting daggers at each other.

"Then call someone else."

"Let"

She rolled her eyes,

"Dom I know you can do it yourself. Put your big boy pants on and just do it"

"Alright. Whatever Let"

Dom walked out and Julia sat back down on the couch,

"Am I missing something?"

Letty shook her head,

"No ma, you aren't. Why are you here?"

Julia smiled,

"I just wanted to see you, catch you up on the gossip"

Letty smiled and nodded as she pulled the blanket over herself, pretending to listen to her mother but all she could think about was Dom. Why is he so hot and cold? He's the one that stuck her with her mom in the first place, she didn't need saving. Especially from him of all people, after he told her they were basically no longer friends. She knew they weren't done fighting and she needed to get everything out before she lost the courage. She stood up and her mom looked at her,

"I think I should go help Dom"

Her mother smiled,

"Don't let him get away this time"

Letty smiled and nodded. Sometimes her mother surprised her of how much she actually knew. I guess everyone has been there, love is a universal thing.

Longer chapter. I may post another one before work. We will see.
