Chapter two

Ugghh come on Letty! Dom had been home for a few days and he was getting into a routine. He already found a job at Harrys auto shop and things quieted down. I so need my BFF back. Too bad I couldn't get an answer at her aunts house.

I was very bored so I put my shoes on and left my room. Mia was studying so I left her alone and went downstairs. My dad and Dom were talking in the kitchen. I know eavesdropping is wrong, but I couldn't help myself. Crawling under the dining room table I could hear everything without being caught.

" I'm glad Harry is giving you a chance Dominic, but is slinging parts really what you want to do? " My dad asked.

Hell no. All he ever really wanted was to be racing with the big boys. But after the Linder thing he was banned from any and all professional tracks for life.

" It's just until I can save some money. After that my dads shop will open back up along with the store. You've taken care of Mia for two years and I need to pull my own weight and get the business going again. After that we can move back into our house. " Dom said.

At least he wasn't gonna sell it and move away. Then again Dom has always been about family and we are all he has left. He'd never go too far.

I heard the front door open and Letty call out. " Honey I'm home! "

Shit! I could see my dads feet come from the kitchen and go into the living room. I crawled from under the table and right into Doms legs. I looked up at him sheepishly. God so embarrassing. He held his hand out and helped me up.

" I don't want to know. " He said leading me into the living room.

I ran to letty and hugged her. " Thanks for calling me back. " I said playfully.

" Sorry mami I spent a lot of time at the hospital. " She said setting her eyes on Dom. " Hey it's good to see you home. "

He nodded. " It's good to see you haven't been getting Beaut and Mia in trouble while I was gone. " He joked.

She gave a look of pure innocence. " Who me? I'm an angel. "

My dad laughed. " Alright I have to get to work you kids be good. " He said grabbing his coffee and keys.

" Bye daddy. " I called after him. Once he was gone I looked at Letty. " An angel Let? Do we need to be reminded of that one party that one time? " I reminded her without giving too much info.

Letty glared at me. " Don't you dare speak of that one party that one time. " She said seriously before losing face and laughing. " Come on chica we have a lot to talk about. ' She said dragging me upstairs.

Once my door was closed she looked at me with bright eyes. " Damn what happened to Dom? That is not the same person that left two years ago. "

I fake had a heart attack. " I know! The past few days have been interesting to say the least. You should see him before he goes to bed. You will have drool dripping I swear. " I said making Letty laugh.

She sat on my bed and crssed her legs. " Soooo someones sixteenth birthday is coming up... What are we gonna do? "

I tapped my fingers together like a mad scientist. " Something along the lines of drinking and dancing. "

" Do you think your dad is gonna give you a car? Or are you supposed to take the bus everywhere? " She asked.

God I hope so. Sweet freedom. " Maybe. Could go either way. "

" I'll keep my fingers crossed. ' Letty said laying down on my bed.

I woke up the morning of my birthday in a good mood. No school and my dad took the day off so we could go to the beach. Letty had spent the night so I had to crawl over her to get to the bathroom.

After I showered and put my two piece and a tank and shorts on over it. I went in the kitchen to make coffee. Dom was there with a pot already brewed so I poured myself a cup.

" Happy birthday Beaut. " Dom said and slid a cardboard box to me.

I picked the box up and opened it to find a keychain with a metal charger hanging from it. I really didn't know what to say.

" Thank you. " That would have to be good enough.

" Happy birthday pumpkin. " My dad said when he walked in and dropped a kiss on my head. " I see you're all ready. "

" Yup I can't wait. " I said taking a sip of my coffee.

Another half hour later we were all packed in my dads car on our way. After stopping at the store for ice we made a beeline to the closest beach. When we got there Me, Mia, and Letty went to the bathroom to take our top layers off. I know we could have just took them off anywhere but whatever.

When I came out of the stall I got weird looks from both of them. I looked down at myslef to see what was wrong. " What? " I asked.

" Nice boobs. Where did they come from? " Letty asked.

I looked at them in outrage. " Sorry I can't be a member of the itty bittie tittie committee like you two. "

In truth my body had been changing more and more. My hips got wider and I did go from an A cup to a C in the past couple months. I never gave it any thought.

Mia laughed. " They're so jiggly. " Mia said poking one.

My jaw hit the floor. " Did you just touch my boob? I feel violated! " I said laughing hard.

" Mia, Beaut, Letty stop dickin around and come on! " Came Doms voice from behind the door.

" We'll be out in a minute! " Mia called out.

We waited for him to leave and laughed again before leaving. As we walked to the grill where my dad set everything up at we got cat calls from the horny men that were there. Dom looked to see what the commotion was and his eyes almost popped out of his head. His eyes raked over my body and the butterflies came back once again.

Why did he have to look at me like that? God.

" The food wont be done for a while. you girls should go swim and have fun. " My dad called to us.

I grabbed Lettys hand. " Come on you guys I'll show you the dead mans float! " I said taking off running towards the water. We splashed around for a while before going out deeper. Away from the other smimmers we could talk with out someone being nosey.

" Hey look they float! " Mia said pointing at my boobs, that were actually floating.

I rolled my eyes. " God is that all we are gonna talk about today? "

Letty nodded. " It's not just your boobs chica. They weren't cat calling for nothing. "

I rolled my eyes. " They were horny old men. And they were doing it to all of us. "

" No Beaut they were all looking at you. Even my brother. " Mia said.

Damn they noticed that? I can't deal. So many levels of humiliation. They saw my face and laughed.

" Get used to it girl. There will always be horny men looking at you. " Letty said.

After eating and swimming some more we were all ready to go home. When we got there I was ready for a nap. I went to go inside when my dad called me back. He motioned to the garage and we all followed him in.

Sitting there all pretty was an all black old school BMW with a red bow on top. I screamed and ran over to it. " Oh my god I love it! " I said excitedly and ran to give my dad a hug.

" I've been working on it for the past couple of years. I stashed it at the Toretto garage. " He said.

I looked at Dom and remembered my present. " You knew! That's why you gave me the key chain. "

He grinned at me and shrugged.

Letty grabbed my hand. " Come on lets go for a ride! "

My dad handed me the keys and me, Mia, and Letty got in and drove off. The feeling of freedom was addictive.

" I can't believe your dad did this. I was expecting him to get you a pinto or ssomething. " Mia said.

We all laughed. " I really wasn't expecting a car. I was hoping but I wouldn't have been mad if I didn't. "

" Now we need to get this baby street ready. " Letty said as she petted the side paneling.

I rolled my eyes. " Like my dad would ever allow that. I wouldn't be surprised if it had a kill switch that could be activated by remote. We should head back. I'm exhausted. "

" Me too. " Mia said. " A day at the beach really wears you out. "

I don't care what you say we're going to the races tonight to show off your new baby.

" I never said no Let. I'm just not racing. " I said into my landline.

Come on Beaut you're a good driver.

I swear she comes up with the craziest ideas. " Yeah we'll see how much I'll drive if my dad finds out. "

Whatever I'm coming to your house to get ready. See you in a couple hours.

What does one wear to the races? Why am I asking myslef this question when I know someone who knows the racer scene? I left my room and went looking for Dom. He wasn't in the house and it was his day off so that meant he could only be one other place.

Not bothering with taking my car I ran up the street to the Toretto house. I could hear music coming from the garage so that's where I went. There he was working on the same car his dad died in. I would have gotten rid of it personally.

" Hey. " I said so I wouldn't scare him while under the hood.

His bald head stuck out from the side. " Hey whats up? "

I sauntered over to a middle seat for a mini van and sat down. " I have a quick question. "

He wiped his hands on an old rag and looked at her. " Shoot. "

" Well, you've been to the races and I was wondering how the girls dressed. " I asked suddenly uncomfortable.

He rolled his eyes. " They dress like whores. Why? "

Wow. " Umm no reason really I just heard some stories about chasers. "

" And they're all true. You, Mia, and Letty will never be one. " He said looking directly at me.

Like I'd ever want to be a chaser. " No worries there. Well I'd better get going before Letty gets to my house. " I said getting up.

He stood in front of me blocking the exit. " So I'm guessing your little questions mean I'll see you at the races tonight? " He asked softly, which just made his voice all the more gravely.

Shocks went through my body. Damn him and his sexy voice. All I could do was nod like an idiot.

His eyes left mine and the spell was broken. " Well I'll see you there then. " He said going back to the charger.
