Of course, Letty was always one to downplay a situation. Smirking a little, she strode up to him confidently. Reaching him, she put her hands on her hips, cocked her head a bit, and looked at him. "How ya livin', Baldy?"

Dom just stood looking down at her for a minute, before breaking into a grin. Wrapping his arms around her waist, he lifted her to him, and kissed her, hard. People around them whistled and made catcalls, but that didn't bother them one bit.

Setting Letty down, Dom hooked an arm over her shoulders and tilted his head down towards her ear.

"I love you, Leticia Rodriguez." he whispered.

"I never doubted that, Dom. Not once."

As the night wore on, people slowly drifted off, so that by midnight only the team was left. They sat, spread over the living room, just catching up. Two years is a long time when you've only lived for twenty or so.

The big topic that seemed to dominate the conversation was street racing. Leon and Vince had been drawn in to the illegal pastime by some friends they knew through the shop, and were eager to share what they knew with their freshly freed leader. Neither had raced yet, they were still pretty new to the scene. They'd go out a couple nights a week, meet people, watch the races, and hit on the girls.

"So what, just the two of you go?" Dom asked from his spot on the couch.

"Well yeah, man. We only just found out about this shit a little over a month ago. Wasn't sure if we should really drag everyone else out yet. Jesse's gone a few times now." Leon answered.

Dom raised an eyebrow, and the boys just sort of shrugged it off.

"Well, we don't know the crowd well yet. No way in hell was I gonna take your sister or your girl and let something go down. Fuck that man, I was looking out for them." Vince defended.

"Oh bullshit Vince, you didn't want us cock blockin' your sorry ass." Letty threw back at him, from her spot on the couch. She was sitting between Dom's legs, leaning back against his chest. He looked down at her in amusement.

Looking back up at his best friend, Dom cut the argument short. "Either way, I wanna check this out. Definitely sounds like something I wouldn't mind getting in to. When's the next race?"

Grinning a little, Vince nodded, "Alright man, probably sometime this week. It's kinda random, but we'll get ahold of some people and find out."

"I'm totally going this time." Letty added, to which Dom didn't respond immediately.

"I don't like the thought of you going when I don't even know the place."

Sitting up and turning on him, she glared at him. "What the hell Dominic! Leon and Vince have been plenty of times! They've never had anything bad happen! Besides, I'm not a child. You can't stop me. I'm going."

After returning her glare for a moment, Dom reluctantly nodded. "Fine. I'm assuming that means-" he looked up at Mia, who just smiled.

"No way are you telling ME I can't go."

Sighing, Dom just shook his head. When did everyone go and get so god damn stubborn?

A.N.-This isn't even really a chapter, it's just a very short little snippet, not even very good. I'm just trying to get the creative juices goin again with this story, so bear with me.
