I love and appreciate the reviews, the follows and the fav's. Thank you for taking the time to read.

6 I left you.

Letty …I held her close to me...the reason why we were apart…the reason why you ended up with Shaw in the first place…It's because I left you! It was in the D.R. the last time we were together. I left you in the middle of the night like a fucking coward.

I felt her tense in my arms but she stayed quiet. Then she stood and walked away….close enough to hear me…but far enough where I couldn't touch her. She was facing toward the water.

Dom, I don't care about a past I can't remember!...she said as she turned to face me….you are here with me now! and as far as Elena goes...you were alone...you thought i was dead...it was only normal that you would move on.

Fuck Letty!, I stood up and took her face in my hands. I need to tell you this shit…This is as much for me as it is for you. I need you to know the worse….I want to give you the chance to hate me. You lost everything…..and I just get to have you back?

You just get to have me back? that's bullshit Dom!...what about everything from the last few days ?..look, Mia told me about the man that you became when you thought you lost me….empty…full of anger, looking for revenge. You have been through hell and back…..it's far worse that any punishment that I could ever give you.

She smiled up at me….let it go!

I've seen who you are! I could never hate you!…She whispered as her hand moved gently over my chest. …not the girl I am today…not the girl I was in the past….I know that much about myself.

she sat back down ..took my hand and pulled me down with her…I brought her in close and wrapped my arm around her shoulder.

I'm not the hero of this story Letty!….I'm just the bad guy looking for redemption!

And I wasn't exactly an innocent little princess Dom! I wasn't expecting prince charming to come rescue me either. I wasn't expecting anyone! Then you showed up and it was more than I could ever ask for. I know you're not perfect and I'm sure I've never expected you to be.

Plus! … she was back on my lap running her hands down my arms…taking them and wrapping them around her waist….Who wants that perfect love story anyway?...that's so cliché. She made me laugh.

Is that right? I said smiling as I planted a soft kiss on her lips.

I don't want the hero that saves the day story either!…..her eyes burned into mine now….I want you…the bad guy gone good. The kind of love that's sometimes misunderstood….but in the end it's the kind of love that can make it through anything.

I know you didn't leave me because you didn't want me….you wouldn't be here with me right now.

I wanted you more than ever…I loved you Letty….I love you!. The D.R. was the best time of our lives..the happiest we had ever been. We grew up there….we went from stupid crazy love…to a deeper than words love…A die for you love…beyond life love….part of me will always be there with you on a beach forever.

Sounds like it was perfect! She whispered…why then?

I was on the run….it's too much to explain for one night…but to make a long story short….we had just pulled of a job. Han was there. He had found out that the cops were hot on our trail…they had been tracking me for some shit that went down back home in L.A.…..we had to move out. I knew what the cops wanted was me.…and they would be throwing out big numbers at anyone they found with me. I couldn't let that happen. I told Han to head out and do his own thing….I knew I had to let you go too.

It was a night like this the day I left…..u were sitting on the beach looking beautiful…lost in your own little world….. I tried to talk to you. I thought just maybe that you would understand and that you would want to leave. I told you that the cops were getting close, but you never really cared too much that I was a walking target.

I told you that I didn't want you around when they caught up to me.

Ride or Die Remember?…..you used my own words against me.

Dom, you told me...how long have we been doing this…and now all of the sudden out of nowhere its too dangerous? We'll figure it out….we always do! …you knew exactly what I was doing and you were fighting me now.

I took you in my arms….you kissed me…soft then hard…begging….we went home and made love . I gave you everything I had…..made you feel like you had won….and for a moment you had me. I sat there and watched you as you slept….debating whether I should go or stay. In the end my need to keep you safe won over my selfish need to have you with me always…. by dawn….I was gone.

No goodbyes Letty…just gone. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do..The worst mistake of my life. It was your choice Letty and I should have respected what you wanted. I'm sorry!

You thought you were doing the right thing…how could I ever hold that against you?

Because it nearly killed us Letty….I should have known better….you never could keep yourself out of trouble…why would this be any different.

Look Dom, knowing me….I was probably pissed as hell that you left me…but I also know that I would've been smart enough to figure out why. Stop doing this shit to yourself.

Mia told me the shit that happened when I came home. I wanted to bring you home Dom! Does that sound like a woman scorn? I probably loved you more than ever….she gave me another soft kiss…then she smiled, shit how it made me weak.

Now, she said grabbing me by my shirt….I hope you've learned your lesson. It doesn't work for us to be apart…I think we've proven that it's pretty much lethal. ..so I don't care what the situation. I don't care if you're on the run…I want to always be there with you.

I'm here for you! And nothing you can tell me will change that...….It's too late… ..I'm in too deep. For what it's worth Dom, if forgiveness is what you seek…I forgive you!...I want a new life with you...but you gotta let all this guilt go.

Fuck..what this woman did to me…she took me places that I'd never been. Her unconditional love was my weakness….my reason for being…..my reason for breathing. My life came down to her…without her I had nothing to lose.

I love you letty!…I crashed my mouth to hers. She was all I ever wanted...she kissed me back…every kiss deeper…..every kiss longing for more.

It seemed like forever before we let go…..for a moment I was back in the D.R. picking up where we had left off. We laid there on the sand holding hands….hearts beating fast…and the crashing waves the only sound.

Do you want to know about Elena?

I had to laugh….to myself…I knew she wanted to know more….memory or no memory this was Letty after all.

Maybe I'm a bit curious….she gave me a playful smile…but I saw that there was more… I only want to know if you loved her?

Ive only ever loved one woman Letty…I cared about Elena …..but she always knew that I had nothing much to offer. She always knew that my heart belonged to your ghost.

Our story was a short one….boy meets girl…girl understand his pain…..we shared the loss of a loved one. A loss that until I met her….I didn't think anyone could understand. I had given up on myself…I guess you can say Elena kept me alive at a time in my life when death was a constant thought in my mind.

I had to try and live…for Mia and Brian…for Jack. They wouldn't give up on me.

did she love you?

I don't know Letty…it wasn't like that with us…..she never asked for more than I could give her…and then when I found out you were alive….she told me to go. She knew I would go. That day she saw me come alive.

I owe her big time then. to step aside like that... the way I feel about you, I could have never walked away.

I guess I didn't give her a choice. She's a good woman. I hate to think I hurt her, but my heart just never gave her a chance. Letty, you never have to worry about Elena or anyone else.

I know Dom, your love is the one thing I don't doubt. you have gone above and beyond to make sure of that.

I fought a good battle...I would say...losing you again wasn't really an option...she smiled at me and pulled me in close. losing us was never an option.

Dom, how did you feel when you found out I was alive?

Scared!

Scared ?

Scared that it wasn't true…and even worse that you were happy without me! That you had stayed away because you didn't care…because you didn't love me.

Yet you came anyway

I had to know…whatever it was I had to see it for myself…..if there was a chance..no matter how small…I had to take it.

And then I shot you!

You hit your mark…I laughed…..I took it as your way of saying I want you! come and get me.

And that you did…you got me. You had me thinking about you. And for the first time since waking up and ending up with Shaw…You had me wanting to remember my past…..I was jealous that you knew so much about me….and I had nothing.

You had everything letty. You had me always. I will spend the rest of my life showing you...reminding you why I love you and why you loved me.

loved you Dom? seriously...after everything that you have done for me….jumping out of a fucking moving car…driving through a burning plane….coming here on a chance that I may still want you!

Do you really think that I would do anything but love you?

I hope you like it, sorry it took a while.
