Chapter 10
The next morning at exactly ten a.m. sharp, the team heard a car rushing into a parking space. They looked up from their work in time to see Egypt hop out of her car. Letty wiped her dirty hands on a rag and handed it to Dom. Egypt walked into the garage smiling as if she'd just won the lottery.
Vince leaned over to Leon and whispered, "What's with the smiling?"
Leon shrugged and put his head back under the hood of the car. Egypt shook Letty's hand and then Dom's. Dom gave her orders for the day and then introduced Vince to Egypt.
"Vince, here, is going to oversee your work today. If he says do something over, you re-do it. No questions asked. Understood?" Dom asked.
"Yes." Egypt agreed.
"All right. Well then, let's get to work." Dominic and Letty went back to work on the unfinished Civic.
Vince surely watched Egypt all day. He actually couldn't help it. Egypt was gorgeous. She wore extremely short, tight black shorts and a white tank top. She somehow managed to tie her ultra-long hair up into a loose bun. Egypt didn't mind getting her hands dirty and before lunch, she'd had grease and oil stains on her hands, face and legs.
"All right, lunch time guys!" Mia said. Everyone stopped what they were doing and walked next door to the shop and sat at the counter. Mia served them their sandwiches and beers and then sat down with them.
"So, how's our new girl, V?" Mia asked as if Egypt wasn't sitting at the counter.
"She's actually pretty good. I think she was born to work on cars, man." Vince said. Egypt smiled at Vince's approval.
"Thanks." she replied.
After lunch, the team…and Egypt, went back to work on the cars. They worked hard until it was time to close up the garage.
"Tonight, you're racing for us?" Vince asked Egypt.
They were cleaning up their stations and wiping their hands off on a rag. Egypt pushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear and shrugged, smiling at Vince. She'd noticed how Vince was looking at her all day but she couldn't complain. She'd been admiring him as well.
From across the room, it looked as Vince and Egypt were flirting. Letty and Dom looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Letty leaned up and Dom kissed her lips.
"Our little Vince is growing up." Letty joked.
Dom laughed and he and Letty walked out of the garage.
"Oh, Egypt!" Letty turned around and looked at the young girl. Egypt turned to look at Letty.
"You race tomorrow night. We have to take a look under your hood and see what we can do to it." Letty told her.
"Okay." Egypt smiled. Vince bumped fists with her.
Sorry that this chapter is so short. I'm writing in class!
