Chapter 3 - Cherries

Dom

Where the hell are they? I know she didn't go off with him somewhere. I hope she hasn't ever gone off anywhere with anyone. Shit! Now I'm not going to be able to stop thinking about whoever she has "gone off" with.

I look all around and don't find them anywhere. So I head outside. There they are. She's showing off her car to him.

"Yeah, you know nothing about that," I hear her saying.

"I wish I had your skills Letty, I swear!" He's complimenting her. And she's laughing!

She looks up and notices me watching her. "Uh, hey Dom."

"Hey. Are you driving Mia home?"

"Of course, I came here with her, I leave with her. I got her Dom, don't worry."

So she's not planning to leave with him then. That's good.

"Cool."

Letty

"So Mike this is Dom, Dom, Mike."

"Sup man," Mike is looking Dom over. Yeah, I guess if you're not used to Dom he is pretty impressive.

"Anyways, I'm saving up, I have so much more in mind for her!"

"Her! I can't believe you called her a her," Mike laughs. "I didn't think girls did that."

"Of course she's a she. Cars have to be women, only something female could be this great in all aspects! Sexy, pleasurable, and need the perfect person to handle them if they're going to give anything up."

Mike and I laugh at that.

Why does Dom look like he's about to explode? That's the same face he's been making the more Vince has been hitting on Mia. He walks off without another word. Told you, odd.

"What are you doing tomorrow Letty?" Mikes asks.

"I'll be at the track tomorrow. I go every Sunday and watch Dom's dad."

"That's cool, maybe we can get together another day," Mikes responds. You can just tell that's not what he was hoping for. That makes me smirk a bit. "Alright, well I have to go, see you Monday."

I walk back in as Mike gets in his car in drives off. He's a cool guy.

On my way in I pass Dom leaving with some chick, Mia looking bored and Vince making out in a corner.

"Ready to go girl?"

"Yes!" she says. "These things are appealing for all of five minutes and then I'm done. What were you and Mike talking about?"

"My car!"

"Of course you were! What else would you be talking about? Did he ask you out?"

"Nah, he tried for tomorrow, but I was busy."

"He's going to try again!"

"We'll see what happens."

"You're the only person in the world who never gives any indication on whether or not you like someone." She pushes me.

"He's cool." I tell her.

"I wish you'd find someone to like so you could have sex already!"

"You're in a real big hurry to get my cherry popped. But I don't see you rushing out to put yours on top of someone's sundae."

"I want you to do it first, so I know what to expect."

"HA! I'm sure some of your other little friends will be more than willing to give you the details."

"Yeah, but they're sluts."

We both laugh out to the car.

"Well, are you waiting for someone in particular?" she asks as we're driving home.

"Nope. I just don't really see anyone other than you and your family, my mom and Vince. And you're cute and all Mia, but you're not going to be my first!"

We laugh about that for a sec.

"You need to get out from under those cars and get under a guy."

"Too be honest, I don't think too much about it. I have no time really. If I'm not working on someone's car, I'm working on mine. What are you waiting for?"

"I don't know really, the right time I guess. The right guy. No one at school seems right I'm definitely not meeting someone at these lame parties."

"No worries Mia, it'll happen. Then you can tell me all about what to expect!"

"There is one guy..."

"Who?"

"You know my brother is falling for you, don't you?" Mia asks all sly like.

"Uh no."

"Uh yeah, it's been over the last 4, maybe even 6 months. He almost blew a gasket when you walked over to those guys from your school."

"It's hereditary…," I tell her. "You and your brother are complete weirdos."

"Don't believe me Letty. But humor me. Do you see Dom that way?"

"I mean when I was a kid, I had a crush on him, but you know that. But now we're just in each other's lives. I don't think about it. I mean, it's hot to watch him work on cars, but it's probably because we're stuck in the garage most evenings and weekends and there's not much else to look at. Oh and he's one of few people who loves cars and knows what he's doing under a hood."

"I've just decided who's getting their sundae topped with your cherry!" Mia laughs. "That's the longest reply I've ever gotten about any guy, so you must be in love with him."

"Yep, you Toretto's are weirdos. Neither of you is coming anywhere near my cherry."
