Alright so this is my first fast and the furious fic and also my first time writing in many many months so please be kind. I was inspired today to start something new and this is it. This first chapter is probably a little slow and it may even, dare I say, suck! Please bare with me it will get better once I get back in the swing of writing. Hopefully my spelling is ok my punctuation is most likely horrible but it's late and I really don't feel like doing an intense edit right now, if I get good reviews I'll intensely edit every chapter after this, promise promise!
Brian was gone, Mia had heard he was in Miami but she wasn't sure, Dom and letty were still together most days, the broke up about twice every month, Jesse hadn't made it he was on life support for three months before the crew decided they just couldn't let him suffer anymore Leon was still the same old Leon as was Vince albeit a little broken and over Mia but the same none the less. The dynamic of the team was still there which is probably what kept them all sane the family was still the team and the team was still family.
It was a quiet day at the Toretto store, but these days quiet was a good thing. It had been about a year since the heists . Things had died down significantly after about six months and now a year later life was almost completely back to normal.
Mia called for Dom to come watch the counter so that she could go to the bathroom. He was standing at the counter when he heard the deep roar of a classic car, he leaned over the counter so he could see down the street, sure enough a black 67 Shelby mustang GT 500 was barreling down the street.He smiled to himself as it pulled up to the store, but scowled when he saw sky high high heels stepping out. The woman that had been driving was definitely attractive and looked like she came from money, with her dark jeans and tight black turtleneck , she oozed confidence and demure as she walked into the store as if she owned it.
"Is Mia around" she questioned , the huskiness of her voice surprising Dom.
"Yea she's takin a piss, she'll be back in a minute"
No sooner had Dom said that did Mia appear around the corner.
The mystery girl smiled immediately. "Mia mother fucking Toretto, you come back after a whole fucking year and don't even call your best friend"
Dom's jaw dropped at the language coming out of what he thought was an extremely prissy girl's mouth.
"Oh my GOD" Mia screeched jumping over the counter and hugging the girl tightly.
After a minute or so Dom cleared his throat loudly, sorely disappointed that he was essentially out of the loop.
"Oh sorry Veronica this is my brother Dom, Dom this is my best friend from college Veronica Santos"
"Nice to meet you Dom but please call me Ronnie" Veronica smiled shaking Dom's outstretched hand.
"You pre med too"
"OH god no, I'm an art teacher, Mia and I met in an anatomy class her freshmen year and we've been besties ever since, well until she left me without so much as a phone call" she scolded looking towards Mia.
"You know I couldn't"
"Yea I know but what kind of cuban-Italian would I be if I didn't make you feel guilty at least once a day"
This got a laugh out of Dom "alright I like her, she can stay, Dad would have approved"
"I know, she reminds me of mom I think that's why we clicked so quickly" Mia smiled, internally reminiscing with memories of her mother and recalling the instant sisterly bond she felt with Veronica.
"yada yada, less sentimental more gossip you've been gone for a year, catch me up" Ronnie exclaimed shooing Dom away.
Mia shrugged sitting on a stool at the counter, "there isn't much to tell I've only been back for about a month, the surfer guy turned out to be a cop so obviously that didn't work out, that friend of my brother that I always complained about isn't madly in love with me anymore, but I don't think he ever really was just something to occupy his time ya know, but other than that I've just been here"
"Are you going to start school up again"
"I don't know Ron, I mean I want to but it's been a year, besides you're gone" she pouted.
"Bullshit Mia, I was gone two years ago remember I'm older I started before you"
"Speaking of how is high school art"
Ronnie shrugged, "whiny teenagers with rock hard abs ya know life sucks" she laughed.
The girls chatted on for an hour before the sound of revving engines interrupted them, Mia looked up at the clock and groaned, "great, they're here"
Ronnie looked around confused, "they who, do I need to kick some ass? I'm still into the whole boxing thing"
Mia giggled, "No the rest of Dom's neanderthal team and his girlfriend"
"I thought you loved these people"
Mia listened to the car doors slamming, "Don't remind me"
Letty was the first person to come inside followed closely by Leon and Vince.
Vince was walking backwards into the store still staring intently at the black muscle car parked out front, "Yo Mia who the fuck is driving that" he shouted as he turned around and came face to face with Ronnie.
"Hello"
Letty suddenly stood up " Ronnie, no fucking way is that you"
"In the flesh, Leticia como estas Mami"
The three girls laughed loudly and the boys looking in confusion.
"So I take it you all know each other" Leon questioned trying to make sense out of the situation
"Yea Ronnie and I knew each other in high school then her and Mia became friends in college"
"yep, and now look at us, all grown up and Mia finally caught up in the T&A department, took ya long enough" Ronnie laughed groping Mia playfully.
"Yea yea whatever" Mia rolled her eyes.
Ronnie turned her full attention to Leon and Vince eyeing them both but spending a few more seconds on Vince. "Hi I'm Ronnie, nice to meet you guys"
"Leon"
"Vince" they each growled out shaking her hand steadily.
"Alright well I'd love to stay but I have to get back to work, you know how well a seventeen year old boy and a paint brush go together, Mia I'll see you tomorrow and Letty for once take a break from the balls and chain and chill with us".
Ronnie rushed out to her car and sped away, Vince watched her drive away for a few seconds before turning to face Mia and Letty.
"So who is she exactly"
"who cares Mami is fucking stacked, did you see that ass" Leon rambled salivating.
"Leon seriously, you're not her type anyway so just get over it" Letty snapped, he had been drooling over every single girl he saw except the one that he actually wanted.
"Ronnie is probably the best female friend that Letty and I have ever had, she's the most non judgemental person I've ever met, an artist fiercely creative and hands on whether its cars, art, building something, cooking, hell even gardening, she really is one of the few really amazing people in this world." Mia stated smiling at Letty.
"Yea shes bad ass, had a mowhawk in high school, and shes got a temper like me and Dom combined but shes cuban-italian what do you expect"
"She seems like a total skirt" Vince thought aloud.
"God don't be such an asshole Vince" Letty exclaimed immediately defensive of her friend.
Vince just shrugged and stalked off to the back office.
"He only says that cause he digs her" Leon sighed popping a chip into his mouth and turning the page of his car magazine.
"What are you talking about" Mia asked looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"he was like in love with her in high school, she was in our english class, but he never even spoke to her, said a chick with a mowhawk was way too much for him, then when he found out she was friends with you guys he thought he might have a chance but was too damn stubborn to ask for your help" Leon looked up quickly " don't tell him I told you that and don't act all girly and do that blind date set you up shit on him either cause then my ass will be canned" he walked away silently searching for something new to read or eat, whichever came first.
Letty sat there in shock, "why arent you more surprised about this"
"cause I saw him once when he picked me up from campus, he didn't know I was watching but I saw him, watching her. He looked like he was going to say something to her but then her boyfriend walked up and kissed her, he looked crushed. She has no idea who he is though"
Letty jumped the counter and started fixing something to eat, "doesn't really surprise me though, I know in high school she was so into art guys werent even on her radar every spare second she had was spent drawing or fixing up that damn mustang"
"yea and she dated the same guy all through college, but who knows , shes single now and Vince is obviously still attached"
"Mia don't" Letty warned seeing the wheels start to turn in Mia's brain.
"I'm not, I just think it's going to be interesting to see how things play out."
