Hi! This is my first F+F story so try to be nice and review, both good and bad I guess. Ohh, I own nothing right now except for Carman and some other people that may pop up along the way. So R&R!

Chapter 1 Hot Little Angel

July 4, 2002

Emenim played in the background as Carman headed toward, where she knew that the races were being held.

"Well, Toretto let's see exactly what you're made of." She said parking her car and stepping out into the cool night air of the ally.

Looking around she took a few minutes to take everything in. Maybe Los Angeles would be better than Houston. But that didn't really matter to her, she just needed to escape.

A whistle behind her made her spin to find two guys standing there.

"And what do we have here?" asked one circling her.

"What's it look like?" she asked softly.

"Like a hot little angel." He said.

She laughed softly. "Nah, not really an angel."

"I still think you are, so what's your name sweatheart."

"Carman, you?" she asked.

"Edwin, and the man standing behind me is Hector."

Carman nodded. "Okay, so who do I talk to about getting into a race against Toretto."

"The angel races to?" asked Edwin.

Carman just nodded.

"Well you'll have to wait until Toretto gets here but you don't want to race him."

"And why not?" she asked.

"Because nobody wins against Toretto."

"Well I'll be the first."

"I'll give you two grand if you win against Toretto tonight." Said Edwin.

"And I'll give you two more." Said Hector stepping forward.

"Sure about that? Your pockets will be lighter when you leave tonight."

"Cocky maybe-" Edwin was cut short by the sound of five more cars pulling up.

"It's on." Said Edwin rubbing his hands together.

"That Toretto?" asked Carman from where she was standing between Edwin and Hector.

Edwin just nodded as the new arrivals walked up. Two guys stood out amongst the group but they didn't notice her right away.

"Dom, how we doing this?" asked Hector.

"One race, four g buy in." said Dom grinning. "I'm a little low on cash."

"I'm in," said Edwin handing the money to Hector. Another guy was also in.

"What nobody else?" asked Dom looking around.

"I'll race." Said Carman drawing all attention on her. She heard a sharp draw in of breath and then a familiar voice saying shutup.

"You? And what you'll win?" asked Dom.

"Yah." She said softly.

"Alright, it's your money to lose sweetheart." Said Dom.

Carman handed her money to Hector and everyone headed to their cars. She saw the two familiar faces go over to Dom and start talking to him.

Carman slid into her seat, and started her car. Now was the time to release all the past years pent up anger.

Pulling up to the start line she took a deep breath and watched for the signal to start the race.

When his arms dropped Carman slammed the gas. Those ten seconds her world stopped except for the rush of adrenaline. She saw Dom from the corner of her eye they were neck and neck and the finish line was coming quick so she slammed her NOS bottons and sailed for the finish line. She crossed five feet ahead of Dom.

"Woooo!" she screamed grinning. Maybe all that she heard about Toretto was all talk. She headed back to the start line and got out everyone crowding around her car. She couldn't stop grinning.

"Good race." Muttered Edwin as he handed her the two thousand that he promised. Hector handed her the rest of the money and what he promised. She counted the money, $16,000. She loved racing.

Dom walked through the crowd which seemed to part.

"Good race." He said sticking his hand out. Carman shook it with a grin.

"Thank-you." She said.

"Still unbeatable?" asked a voice in her ear. She turned and there he stood. She flung her arms around him.

"Jesse."

"I thought I would end up never seeing you again."

"Yeah. I had no idea when I came here you'd be here." She said.

"I thought that you hated-" Jesse was cut short as a voice came over Hector's NEXTEL.

"Cops, cops, cops!"

Everyone ran to their cars. "Follow me!" shouted Jesse. Carman nodded and jumped into her car speeding off. After he and Jesse she followed him to a house that had lots of cars out front and loud music coming from inside.

"So how ya been?" asked Jesse. Carman grinned.

"Peachy." She said. Jesse laughed and the two headed inside where she was met with his eyes.

The world around the two of them seemed to vanish and Carman quickly headed toward him and the embraced in a tight hug.

"Carm." He said. God, she hadn't been called that in years.

"Le." She said.

"Come on." Said Leon and took her hand. He led her to a kitchen with Jesse following.

"So nice race tonight." Said Leon going over to the fridge.

"Thanks." She said grabbing the beer that he offered and pulling herself up on the counter.

"So where have you been?" asked Jesse as he leaned against the counter.

"Uh, Texas the last couple of years."

"Texas, huh?" asked Leon.

Carman nodded. "Yeah I was going to college there."

"Majoring in?" asked Jesse.

"Mechanices." She said grinning at the look on Jesse's face.

"Cars, you still like fixing cars?" asked Jesse excitdly.

Carman nodded. "Yeah who wouldn't?" she asked.

Jesse nodded. "There you are Jesse. You promised me a dance." Said a girl walking in the kitchen.

Jesse grinned. "Alright guys, I have to go dance." He said leaving the kitchen.

Carman laughed.

"So how have you been? Boyfriend?" asked Leon.

"Nah, no boyfriend. Girlfriend?"

"Nah, never really could keep a girlfriend."

"Skank?" she asked.

"Currently no." he said as she moved toward him.

"That's good." She said putting their beers on the counter.

"Why is it good?" asked Leon. God how her missed her.

"Because of this." She said kissing him on the lips. And Leon only deepened the kiss. Leon's hand began finding its way under Carman shirt.

"Le." She said pulling away slightly. "Bed." He nodded and grabbed her hands leading down the stairs of the kitchen and through his bedroom doorway locking it behind them. The two fell on the bed together and resumed what they once had.

Alright so that's chapter 1 totally complete and hopefully everyone likes it, so I'll shut up and hope that everyone reviews my story. Bye!
