Valentine's Day fic. Kind of feeling just 'eh' about this one, just sort of rambling.
Dom's POV
"So have you asked her yet or what?" Vince asked me as we worked on a car. I sent him a murderous look that had him backing away slightly.
"Could you say it any louder Vince?" I hissed and he muttered an apology.
"Bro just ask her already. You guys have been tip toeing around each other for weeks." He whispered.
"And what if she says no?" I asked sighing.
"Why would she say no?" He asked confused.
"I don't know… she might not be into Valentine's Day." I mumbled lamely.
"Okay point taken but she'd still want to go out with you. You'll both just have to suck it up for the lovey dovey holiday." He said rolling his eyes.
"Argh V you're no help." I whined.
"Help with what?" Letty asked as she came over handing Vince a car part.
"Um…." Vince hummed looking at me.
"Nothing." I said quickly.
"Very convincing." Letty spoke sarcastically.
"Dom's just got girl problems." Vince smirked at me. I could have killed him.
"What got too many girls to choose from Toretto? I'll give you a tip, doesn't matter which one you chose, at the end of the night the outcomes still going to be the same." She muttered before she walked off.
"Let." I tried as she walked off. Turning around I glared at Vince who had paled.
"That didn't go the way I wanted it to." He mumbled before running off so I couldn't hurt him.
Sighing I leant heavily against the car I was meant to be working on. I had been trying to ask Letty out for weeks, every time I got close though I chickened out at the last minute. She wasn't a 'normal' girl. She was Letty- she was intimidating, she was rough around the edges, not afraid to dish out when got served. She was fucking perfect. I really liked her.
I watched her over the top of the car as she worked on the engine in the car across from me. I licked my lips slightly as I watched her bend over the engine. The way her hair stuck to her neck. The way her pants clung to her legs like a second skin. The face she pulled when she was concentrating hard on something. The way she made me go crazy obsessing about her.
Sighing I groaned as I leant my head down on my hands. Sighing I straightened again and got back to work. I needed to think of how to ask her, without the help of Vince.
It was six o'clock before I knew it and everyone was already starting to pack up for the day. I watched as Letty pulled her hair loose as she walked towards the back room. Feeling like this was my chance I looked around to see if anyone was watching, they weren't. Taking the chance I snuck off after her. I closed the door behind me softly watching as she tensed before turning to me slightly. When she saw it was just me her body relaxed.
"I'm not helping you.' She spoke straight away. I noted the arctic tone her voice held but I ignored it.
"With what?" I asked playing dumb.
"With which skank you plan on taking out tomorrow night." She voiced.
"I wasn't going to ask for help." I said as I sat down on the bench. She looked me up and down before raising an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked confused.
"I'm getting changed." She spoke. Grinning I decided to play with her a bit. Crossing my arms over my chest I sat back and watched as she glared at me.
"Dom seriously come on, I have somewhere to be. All I wanna do is shower here and leave."
"Where are you going?" I demanded.
"Why would it matter to you?" She taunted.
"Letty." I said warningly.
"I'm going out with some guy Mia's set me up with. I can't exactly go looking like this." She gestured to herself.
"There's nothing wrong with the way you look." I spoke honestly. I was surprised to see her blush but it was gone a second later as she ducked her head.
"I don't think he'd agree." She mumbled.
"Then you shouldn't date him." I said calmly.
"So why did you follow me in here Dom?" She sighed changing the subject.
"I wanted to ask you something."
"What?"
"It's kind of advice actually." I confessed. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"I said I wasn't going to do this." She mumbled.
"Let please I'm desperate here. I went to Vince for fucks sake." She smirked slightly and nodded.
"Then you must be desperate."
"I am, so will you help?" I asked.
"Yeah alright but I don't want ANY details, got it?" She demanded.
"Got it." I said smiling.
"Okay so there's this girl and the reason I'm having trouble is because she's kind of different to the skanks I date." I started.
"Fuck." She corrected smirking as I rolled my eyes at her.
"Charming use of the word there Let." I said sarcastically.
"I thought so."
"Anyway, thing is what I feel for her is real. I'm kind of scared of fucking everything up." I finished.
"You like someone?" She asked stunned.
"Yeah." I said softly. I watched as she turned her back to me but I caught her sad look. I smiled she had no idea I was talking about her but at least now I knew she felt something for me.
"Oh. I don't think I'm the best person to help then, maybe you should see Mia. She's the romantic not me." She suggested.
"No I want your opinion." She sighed, struggling to come up with an answer.
"I don't know Dom, you could just ask her?" She said questioning herself. It was clear to see she was out of her element and struggling not to show any emotion about the 'girl'.
"Well what would you do if you liked a guy?"
"I do."
"Right then what would you do?"
He's…. complicated." She finished lamely. I raised an eyebrow and she sighed rubbing her head.
"He's not… 'normal' either I guess." She tried to explain.
"Do I know him?" I asked slyly.
"Uh… I don't know. Maybe, probably, yeah kinda." She rambled. I laughed at her flustered state and she glared.
"Sorry, anyway back to my question. What would you do?"
"I'd ask him but I know the feelings aren't mutual." She sighed as she sat next to me.
"Why do you say that?"
"I just know." She said not elaborating.
"Soooo…" I coaxed.
"I don't know Dom. Is this girl interested?" She asked halfheartedly.
"Yes."
"Then just ask her, if she's interested then she won't turn you down. If she does then she wasn't worth your time. You deserve someone who shares your feelings." She spoke truthfully.
"Like I said she's not that type of girl. What if she doesn't like the whole Valentine's day scene?" I asked curiously.
"Dom what girl doesn't secretly love Valentine's day? It's a great holiday if you have someone to spend it with." She said smiling.
"Are you going to ask this guy out for Vaentine's?" I asked trying to hide my smirk.
"Dom can we do this later? I really do have to go. I don't want this guy to think I've stood him up."
"I don't really care what he thinks, you shouldn't either. Besides I think you should ditch the date." I said boldly.
"Really? And why would I do that? He might be my only hope for tomorrow." She asked amused.
"I doubt that, I know of someone else." I spoke.
"Oh yeah? Who?" She asked crossing her arms as she looked at me.
"I know a guy." I said casually.
"Gunna hook me up with his number?" She joked.
"You already have it." I smirked.
"Who?" She asked confused.
"Come on Let, who do you think?" I whispered as she stared at me. Recognition dawned and she stared stunned at me as I smiled.
"So what should I tell this guy to do about this unusual girl?" I asked smiling.
"He should probably ask her out." She spoke blushing under my gaze.
"What would her answer be if he did?" I asked continuing to play the game we had found ourselves in.
"He won't know if he's never going to ask." She replied. Sliding closer to her I placed an arm either side of her waist, pinning her to the bench.
"Maybe he's too afraid of being turned down."
"That won't happen." She said quietly.
"That a promise she can make?" I asked watching as she nodded.
"Well then be ready by six tomorrow." I spoke leaning into kiss her. Her lips were soft against mine, moving in perfect time.
"That's not asking." She whispered as we pulled away. I grinned and leaned in once more, this time she met me half way. I poured everything I had into the kiss, enjoying the gasp she made as my tongue sought entrance. The need for air took over once more as we were forced to pull away. Leaning our heads together I looked her in the eye as I smiled.
"She promised she wouldn't say no."
