Youth

Darkness wrapped outside the house. A windy day and it was raining cat and dog plus, it was also a horrible day for Dom. Mia was in her bedroom snuggling under her warm cover and Dom was sitting on a sofa next to his mom, in front of a television only showing a crap soap opera that his mom was really addicted to. His eyes straight into the screen but his mind wandered somewhere else, passing the memory of the whole day which just brought him to where a form of a tough girl's face appeared in a space of his brain. "Leticia Ortiz." He mentioned her name with a couple of glaring eyes. His mom turned her head. "Leticia Ortiz? Our new neighbor? What happens, son?"

"Thank you but I am not interested to join your fucking bullshit team, I am 15th and I know how to race, I am brilliant." She simply threw a certain grin and that was the answer when Dominic Toretto offered her to be one of his team members, a junior amateur team sometimes helping dom's father to repair the cars or prepare barbecues. "Yo, Dom! She is just a little girl, she ain't that brilliant to join us." Vince yelled. "Hey big mouth, don't dare to say if you haven't stopped me storming to the finish line, i know how to shift your ass to the next gear." Dom's eyes still on that girl without leaving a single word as Vince headed past him. Mia gripped Dom's arm "Dom!" She said through her clenched teeth.

Before a weight slammed into Leticia Ortiz he encircled her waist and grabbed her off. Vince scowled and groaned when his body slammed against a car right behind where Letty was just standing up. He tried to stand up. "Dom, she deserves that!" Vince fixed his shirt smirking "Don't push it! You embarrassed me!" Dom pointed at Vince's nose and immediately Vince stormed back to his house just a few blocks away muttering to himself. Dom's arm still forming around her waist. "Get off me! Get off asshole!" She screeched and Dom instantly unfastened his arm and let her go. Letty ran into her house which was right in front of Toretto's and disappeared.

"Dom? What are you thinking about?" Her tone got higher and it ruined everything that filled his mind about what happened this afternoon. "Nothing. I am going to sleep. Good night mom." He kissed his mom's cheek and went upstairs. He mentioned her name once more before trying to shut his eyes.
