It was the night she was waiting for. Friday night had finally come . Letty was looking forward to this day to spend some time with her friends. She wore a long sleeved black top with faded jeans and beat up sneakers with her hair flowing freely. She drove to the  cinema and met Dom at the entrance.

"Hi. Wait, where's Mia and Vince?"
"Mia's studying for a test and Vince is sick, so it's just you and me"
"So this is like a date"
"I guess so, I mean if it's alright with you"
"It's cool so,what movie are we watching?"
"Ladies choice"

Letty looked through all the movies that were being shown and decided to watch a Michael Douglas movie called Black Rain. While Letty bought the tickets Dom got the popcorn and sodas. They walked into the cinema and found their seats. Dom sat in the aisle and Letty sat on the inside. After a few ads and movie trailers the movie finally began.

Halfway through the movie Letty felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't have space to move her legs and to stretch. Dom noticed how uncomfortable she felt and slowly lifted her legs onto his lap. She was surprised at his gesture.

"Dom, you don't have"
"Don't sweat it"
"Are you sure? Aren't my legs heavy?"
" No, I'm good, it's all good"

She smiled at him and continued watching the movie. After 2 hours or so the movie ended. Dom put her legs down, she  thanked him and they walked out of the theater.

As they were walking out Letty noticed a girl looking at Dom and smiling, but when she saw Letty with him her face totally changed for smiling to frowning.

"Hey Dom is something going on with you and that girl?"
"That's Elena, no there is absolutely nothing going on between us. I assure you"

Letty just nodded.

"So what now?" she asked.
"I think I owe you dinner"
"No, you don't, I was only joking the other day, I didn't mean it" she said as she smiled.
"I know a nice quiet cafe around the block, it's my treat"

Letty was hesitant at first but agreed in the end. Letty left her car in the parking lot and jumped into Dom's car. They drove to the cafe. A waiter showed them to their table. They skimmed through the menu and ordered their dinner. Dom was having a medium rare steak with a side of mashed potatoes and Letty was having a beef burger with fries.

"What made you wanna street race?"
"I didn't make the cheer leading team"
Dom laughed " Seriously though"
"The feeling of freedom, like nothing else in the world matters, just you and the adrenaline"
"Yeah, I get where your coming from"

The food came shortly after that, they had a good time talking about their childhood, their families and cars.
"I never met my dad, he left when I was a baby. Apparently he couldn't handle the responsibility so my mom she brought me up and taught me everything I needed to know. What about you?"
"I remember everything about my mom. She past away at childbirth and my dad he past away a year ago. He was racing and there was an accident."
"Dom, I'm so sorry."
"It's fine. It's better to let it out rather than to keep it in"

they decided to move on to lighter more fun things to talk about.They laughed and laughed and just had a blast together. Letty was happy and Dom was equally as happy. After a compromise they split the check and walked around for a bit before heading back to his car.

"I had a really good time tonight Dom, thank you"
"Thank you Letty, for sharing it with me"
"No problem, I would definitely do this again with you"
"You would?"
"Hell yeah. You're a nice guy. I may have judge you wrongly"
"Really?"
She just smiled at him. and yet again Dom was mesmerized.

They were driving back to the cinema to get Letty's car. Dom slowly dragged his hand towards her thigh. Once he placed it on her thigh he thought she was removing his hand but instead she interlocked her hand into his and smiled. He was relieved, his attempt had worked.

Once he arrived at the parking lot, she got down but came back in.
"Did you forget something?"
"Yes" she said as she kissed his cheek.
"Baby steps Dominic, baby steps"
"Good enough for me"
