Part II

"So?" Brian sighed, sitting down beside Dom. The Sunday barbecue had dwindled down. Mia and Letty were cleaning up after their guests and Jack had been put down for the night.

Dom accepted the Corona that Brian held out to him. They tapped their glasses together.

"So what?"

"How are things with you and Letty?"

"Things are good. She still doesn't remember anything. But, we're working on it. I'm thinking about taking her to Hector's to pick up some parts with me tomorrow. Maybe something will seem familiar."

"Just continue to take it easy with her. She'll get there."

"I know." Dom replied. He sat his beer bottle on the picnic table. "The most fucked up part is that she's the suffer in silence type. She doesn't want to do any MRIs or CT scans."

"Maybe she doesn't want to remember. Sometimes ignorance is bliss."

"What?"

"I'm just saying, when she remembers, the bad is going to come flooding back along with the good."

"Yeah, but that's what makes us who we are. Right? The good and the bad?"

Brian nodded and took a swig of his beer. "True."

They were silent for a few moments, just drinking and thinking.

"Some things are back to normal, though." Dom mentioned.

Brian turned to Dom, gauging his stilled facial expression. A smile crept onto his face. "No way."

Dom tried to hide his smirk as he drank from his Corona.

"Are you shitting me, bro?"

"I shit you not."

"I knew it! It was only a matter of time."

"What are y'all talking about?" Rome asked. He, Brian and Han came to sit at the table.

"Dom and Letty. The saga continues."

"Dog, I told you! Didn't I tell you?" Rome asked of Tej.

"Yeah, yeah." Tej waved Rome off and turned his attention to Dom. "There's only one thing that we need to know."

"What's that?"

"Did you like slap that ass or grab it and hold on to it."

"He held onto it." Letty's voice came from behind them. Rome jumped. She rested her arm on Tej's shoulder, offering him a fresh beer from the selection she held between her fingers. "And at least he's getting some."

"Ohhh!" The men chorused.

Letty grinned. "Mia wants all your empty bottles so she can do the recycling." She sat the rest of the beers on the table.

The men handed in their half-finished bottles.

"Have I arrived in time for a story?" She asked.

Dom's brows furrowed. It was off-putting; sometimes the things she said reminded him of their past together. And it broke his heart that she couldn't remember either. Her smile faded and her face grew concerned.

"Dom?" Brian chimed in. "You okay, bro? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Dom snapped out of his reverie. "Yeah. I'm fine." He stood from the table. "I'm gonna call it a night."

"Aw, come on." Rome looked at Letty. "See what you did? You broke up story time. Now we'll never know how he held onto it."

"Sorry, Rome. Looks like it's just you and your Brazzers subscription tonight, man." Letty made an obscene jerking motion with her hand and patted him on the back. The others laughed at Roman's expense.

She caught up with Dom in the kitchen. "Hey, what happened?"

"Nothing."

"It was something."

He stopped and looked at her. "I just didn't want to tell them what happened with us."

Letty smiled. She knew he was lying. Somehow she could tell that she'd always known when he was. But for now… for her own sanity and his… she would let it go.

"Mhm. And what exactly would you have told them if I didn't interrupt guy time?" She handed him the bottles from her left hand and he opened the recycling bin to deposit them.

Dom thought back to the previous night. God, that had been… perfect.

"Letty, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm sure." It was clear that she would still need to convince him. "Dom, I'll tell you what I told Brian: no one makes me do anything that I don't want to. And I want to do this. With you."

Dom smiled. "And you're not just doing this because you want me to stay home, right?"

She gave him the side eye. "Are you tryingto ruin the mood?"

"Got it. Shut up, Dom." He said aloud and kissed her again.

It was nearly twenty minutes later when he'd finally gotten Letty naked. He'd kissed every inch of her tanned skin as he removed her shirt, shorts, bra and panties. Dom had to take his time. What if this wasn't real? What if he blinked and she was gone? He had to give himself time to fully realize the magnitude of this moment. And he wanted to give her ample time to stop him if she was uncomfortable.

"I'm not going to break." She told Dom.

And when he was finally undressed, Dom lined himself up with the entrance to her very essence and bore forward. They both exhaled in relief as if they had both been waiting for that very moment since they'd been reunited.

"Dom?"

"Huh?" Dom snapped out of his thoughts, and rubbed away the goosebumps on his forearm.

"I said what were you going to tell them?"

He grinned. "Just that watched TV all night."

"Uh huh. I'm sure." Her face told her that she didn't believe a word he was saying.

"In fact," he wrapped an arm around her neck, pulling her towards his body, "why don't we go upstairs and watch tv all night long?"

"Right now? But what about our guests?"

"Why don't we go upstairs and watch tv all night long?" He repeated himself.

Letty laughed. She put her arm around his waist, loosely gripping the material of his shirt as he led her to the stairs.

Fin.
