It was quiet both not knowing what to say but both not wanting to lose contact. Letty was looking at his chest, remembering when he had gotten all of the tiny scars,
She was cleaning around the house, well Mia was out on a date, Vince and the boys had gone out and Dom was god knew where.
They were going through a rough patch, fighting over anything and everything. They hadn't really spoken in three days, but they sure did yell. She didn't know why they were fighting; maybe they were bored, maybe they were growing apart whatever it was she knew they had to talk.
She decided they were going to scream it all out and be done with it when he got home tonight. Sweep it under the rug and be done, the phone rang and she turned the music down and ran to get it,
"Hello?"
"Leticia Ortiz?"
"Speaking"
"I'm calling from Memorial Hospital on behalf of a Dominic Torreto"
Her heart sunk at that very moment. All of their bullshit had been washed away and she wanted was to see his cocky smirk, feel his hands on hers, she wanted to hear his laugh, she barely chocked out,
"Is he okay?"
"He was in a car accident"
"Is he okay?"
She asked again slightly annoyed. The lady sighed,
"He's in surgery now. We'll know more after that"
"Alright"
Letty could barely breathe. Surgery. Would the last thing she told him be I hate you. No he knew she didn't mean it. This morning they were mad, he had to know. He knew, her brain was going a mile a minute trying to comprehend what had happened.
She grabbed her keys and a pair of flats and ran to her car driving to the hospital as fast as she could. When she got there she ran to the desk,
"Hi, I'm looking for Dominic Torreto"
The nurse snapped her gum,
"Injury"
"Car accident"
The nurse typed it in and snapped her gum again,
"Fifth floor. Room three"
Letty nodded and quickly walked to the elevator. When kept hitting the number five, it wasn't going fast enough for her. The guy behind her stated smiling,
"Doesn't matter how many times you push it. It won't go faster"
Letty removed her finger and looked at him as the door opened,
"Sorry"
He nodded and she got off the elevator trying to find his room. When she got there, there was a doctor standing outside and she went up to him,
"Is he going to be okay?"
The doctor smiled at her,
"Letty I presume"
She nodded and smiled,
"Hi"
The doctor smiled,
"He'll be fine. Just minor surgery to get some glass out of his chest. He's very lucky. He'll be in pain for a couple days, couple scars but he'll be fine"
Letty smiled,
"Thank you, can I ..."
"Course"
She smiled and walked in the room. She smiled when she saw his chest rising up and down. Dom felt her walk in and opened his eyes and looked at her, she shook her head,
"Was this the only way you could think of for me to talk to you?"
Dom laughed a little,
"It was the fastest"
Letty smiled pulling a chair to the side of his bed and taking his hand.
"You scared me"
"I scared myself"
She smiled and kissed the back of his hand,
"I don't hate you"
Dom smiled,
"I know Let. We were being stupid. I realised the second that air bag went off, all our bullshit doesn't matter"
Letty nodded,
"I like a guy with scars"
Letty traced the scars absent mindedly and smiled when Dom took her hand,
"Do they hurt?"
Dom shook his head,
"Nope"
She smiled and looked at him,
"So"
Dom smiled, and shrugged,
"I don't know"
Letty sighed as they laced their fingers together,
"I saw it in your eyes, you regret it"
Dom shook his head,
"I don't regret what we did"
She tilted her head,
"Alright I regret it a little bit, but not because I didn't want too. It's because I'm engaged."
"To a Barbie"
Dom laughed a little and she shrugged,
"Well you are"
Dom shrugged,
"There's a lot of memories in this place"
Letty nodded,
"If I remember correctly the first time we had sex was on that table"
Dom laughed and shook his head,
"No we did it on the car first. We heard something and ran in here to hide."
Letty laughed,
"I forgot about that"
Dom sighed,
"Let…"
She shook her head,
"I know you're going to say this was a mistake. But I love you and I want this. I want the good and the awful. I want this"
Dom nodded,
"I'm engaged Let. What am I supposed to do?"
"You call it off"
"And break her heart?"
Letty stood grabbing her clothes and throwing them on,
"And you just broke mine. Whose heart matter's more to you?"
Dom sighed standing up pulling on his jeans and put his hands on her shoulder,
"Letty"
She shook her head,
"You were right, we can't keep doing this"
She grabbed her bag off the table and left before Dom could stop her. He sunk in to the couch sighing and rubbing his face. He was in love with two women for so many different reasons. He didn't know what to do. He looked to the floor and noticed the bracelet he had given Letty years ago,
Dom had walked to her house and walked in. He called her name but with no reply so he walked upstairs to find her still sleeping off her hangover from last night's party. She for some reason had decided to crash at her place instead of the Torreto's. He crawled over her and kissed beside her ear whispering,
"Baby"
She moved her hand to his mouth and put it over his lips.
"Stop talking"
Dom laughed a little and kissed her hand as she removed it. He collapsed beside her as she curled in to his body rubbing her face in his shirt. She groaned and asked,
"What time is it?"
"Two"
"In the morning?"
Dom laughed and kissed her hair,
"No in the afternoon"
She nodded as Dom asked her,
"Why didn't you stay over last night?"
She shrugged,
"I didn't feel like puking all over you or your bed."
Dom laughed
"I appreciate that"
"I thought you would"
She groaned out as she sat up crossing her legs and putting her head in her hands. Dom kissed her temple,
"I'll go get you some Advil"
Letty nodded sinking in to the pillows trying to get comfortable. Dom returned a few minutes later with a box with a bow on top, a bottle of Advil, a bottle of water and Letty's favourite ice cream. Letty smiled,
"You're pretty close to perfect huh?"
Dom laughed and shrugged a bit sitting next to her, passing her the water and two pills. She swallowed them and leaned her head on his chest as she put her legs over his. He passed her the ice cream and she took a bite nodding towards the box,
"What's the box for?"
"You think I would forget?"
Letty looked at him and shrugged a bit,
"Forget what?"
He laughed,
"Babe"
She shook her head,
"What'd I miss?"
"It's our five year"
Letty sat up a bit too fast making her head pound a little harder,
"That is not until next week"
Dom shook his head,
"Today"
"It's not the seventeenth yet"
Dom nodded a little bit, and Letty dropped her shoulders and looked at him,
"I swear I thought it was next week"
Dom laughed,
"Babe, it's fine"
Letty pouted,
"I'm sorry"
Dom opened his arms and Letty crawled to sit in between his legs as he wrapped his arms around her and putting his head on her shoulder, as he moved the box in front of her.
"No, wait until I have one for you"
Dom shook his head,
"You are enough of a present"
Letty smiled and turned to kiss his cheek taking the box, and pursed her lips, squinted her eyes,
"No engagement ring right? Because if you are proposing when I have a hangover, I will never forgive you. I would say yes, but I would be pissed"
Dom laughed and kissed her head,
"No, I know better than that. Open it"
Letty smiled as she opened it and saw the little white gold bracelet. It had an infinity symbol that had small diamonds going around it. Small circles for the chain, with one last heart link before the clasp. Letty smiled,
"Dom it's beautiful."
He nodded, and kissed her hair.
"You like it?"
She nodded and slipped it on,
"I love it"
She had never taken that bracelet off. Not once, it was a reminder of their love, never ending and always there. There had been a few close calls at work catching on things so she would slip it on her dog tags until shift was over. Dom traced the symbol with his thumb, he didn't know what to do and it was killing him.
