Chapter 14

"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"I said no Leticia!"

There was a pause, before, "Please?!"

"For the loved of cars this has been going on for three hours now! Letty, give it a rest! Tony, just stop answering her!" Vince cried out.

The rest of the team started cracking up as Letty pouted, leaning against the wall in the living room.

"But I can just skip half the school day! Or even, less than half! You know me, Mr. T.! It won't take long!" Letty begged.

Mr. T. folded the top half of his newspaper down, glaring at her. "Leticia, what part of 'no' do you not understand? Is it the n, maybe the o?" He asked.

Vince and Leon laughed at her expense while Jesse and Mia hid their smiles. Dom was sitting on the couch trying his hardest not to grin at his pouty girlfriend. Not that it was actually working.

"But why?" Letty whined.
"Because I said so." Mr. T. replied smugly.

"This sounds exactly like when Mia just had to skip school to go to that sale at the mall a few years ago. Give it up, baby girl, it didn't work then, it won't work now." Vince grinned.

Letty paused her pouting and looked at him, confused. "What're you talkin' about V? Mia went to that sale." She said, tilting her head.

Mia's eyes bugged out and she glared at the Latina. Mr. T. arched an eyebrow at his daughter. "Oh really now?" He asked.

"Daddy I have no idea what she's talking about." Mia replied.

Dom smirked. "Oh so that's why your teacher asked me where you'd gone." He lied, just to bug her.

"Daddy don't listen to them!" Mia pleaded.

"Well, I suppose I can't prove that you did." Mr. T. sighed.

The entire team rolled their eyes; Mia could get away with almost anything in Mr. T.'s eyes if she whined enough. There was no way he didn't know she went to that sale. He was too hard to fool.

"Okay, can we talk about me now?" Letty said.

Dom grinned at her and shook her head. "It ain't gonna work, babe. Same thing happened with me and V." He told her.

"But, Mr. T. c'mon! I'll make the work up and I'll be there by lunch what harm would it do?" Letty whined.

"You would miss out on learning, which you know how I feel about that. You could miss a test; you could miss something extremely important. Your teachers may or may not allow you to make up the work." Mr. T. replied smoothly.

"Ten bucks, V. Told ya she'd get the exact same speech we got." Dom grinned, holding his hand out.

Vince grumbled but shoved the bill in his brother's hand, crossing his arms sourly.

"Baby girl, didn't know you could whine this much." Leon chuckled from the floor, glancing up from the video game he was playing with Jesse.

"I did." Dom winked at her.

"I don't whine. I'm using Mia's tactics. Mr. T., tomorrow is the most important day of my life to date; the only birthday I have ever looked forward to in my life! Please just let me skip school to go get my license!" Letty begged.

"No, Leticia. And that's final. You can go get your license after school, just like Dominic and Vincent did. Just like Jesse and Mia will." Mr. T. replied.

Letty walked over to him and sat on the arm of his recliner, wrapping her arms around his neck and pouting slightly. "But aren't I special because I'm the first girl to get her license in this family?" She tried.

"Of course you are. But you're not missing school." Mr. T. smiled at her. "Now get off my chair." He added.

Letty sighed dramatically and got up, pouting still as she crossed her arms. "Meanie." She grumbled childishly before walking out of the living room and through the back door in the kitchen.

The team chuckled at her and Dom grinned. "I'm gonna go try to talk some sense into her." He announced, getting up.

"Oh yea, I'm sure there's gonna be so much talkin' goin' on between you two." Vince smirked at him.

Dom rolled his eyes and flipped him the bird as he walked out, ignoring the laughter that followed him out. He walked through the yard out to the shop at the side of the house, where Letty's Nissan had been moved. The garage had gotten an overload of cars to work on, so hers had to go to make room and it'd been here for a few days; it was now drivable, but it didn't have all the upgrades Letty had wanted just yet. But for now, it was a working car, and Letty loved it.

Especially since Dom had bought it for her.

Letty was looking at it, running her hand down the body with a fond smile on her lips. Dom smiled as he watched her lift up the hood and study the inside of the car before grabbing a tool to adjust something.

He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, pressing his face into her soft, sweet smelling hair. Dom grinned as he felt her melt in his arms, just like she always did.

He'd never get tired of holding her.

"Whatca doin'?" He asked.

"Ah, nothing. Just thinkin' about bein' able to drive this thing on my own after tomorrow." Letty smiled eagerness evident in her voice.

"You excited?" He chuckled.

"I can't wait. I've waited my entire life to be able to drive for real." She replied, placing her hands over his arms around her. "You do know I'll be drivin' to school after tomorrow, right?" Letty asked.

Dom smiled against her skin and pressed his lips to the crook of her neck. "I figured as much. I probably won't get to drive you anywhere after tomorrow, Miss Independent-I-can-drive-myself." He teased.

"Damn right, Papi." Letty replied proudly.
"But I'll miss you." He pouted.

"Dom it's like a five minute car ride." She rolled her eyes teasingly, shutting the hood of her car with his arms still wrapped tightly around her.

He turned her in his arms and pressed her against the hood. "It's like, ten minutes, Letty." He corrected.

"You'll live." She grinned.

"But in a few more months I graduate and we won't be able to ride together after that." He objected.

"Dom, I know you like drivin' me to school and all, but really I can drive myself. I like ridin' with you too, but I'm not one of those chicks who needs their man to cater to them and shit. I am perfectly fine driving myself." Letty told him, firm but gentle.

He nodded. "I know. I've always known the minute you got your license you'd wanna drive yourself. Can't say I blame ya; I did the same thing to Pop. But I still want my girl in my car." Dom said, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"We can race on our way there." Letty grinned.
He arched an eyebrow. "Darlin', you ain't ready for that yet." He told her.

She snorted. "Oh, please, Papi. I could race circles around you."
"Oh really?" Dom asked.
"Yes, really." She shot back.

"So confident." He chuckled.
"You know it. I could own those fools down at the races." Letty replied confidently.

His eyebrows furrowed. "I don't want you racing at the streets, Let. Those drivers play dirty when there's that much cash up for grabs." He told her.

Her eyebrow arched. "I'm not some prissy girl, Dom. I can handle it." She told him.
"I know." Dom nodded.

"Ok." Letty replied, dropping the argument for now; she really wasn't in the mood to fight with him. "I still don't see the big deal about me just going to get my license in the morning." She sighed.

Dom grinned at her. "You know Pop's rules, his kids aren't allowed to skip school and that's that. The beauty of it is that I've only got a few months, whereas you, baby girl, have got three more years." He teased lightly, rubbing circles on her back.

Letty rolled her eyes and lightly smacked the back of his head. "Yea, yea, you're older get to get out of that hell hole before I do. You've been tellin' me this all year, Papi." She teased.

"Truth's truth babe." Dom chuckled.

"I want my license now." Letty pouted.
"You can't have it now." He told her.
"What can I have now?" She challenged.

Dom smirked at her and cupped her face in his hands, kissing her lips teasingly light. He ran his tongue over her pouty bottom lip and grinned when he felt her shiver at his touch. Letty sighed contently as she gripped the collar of his t-shirt, crashing his lips to hers.

Dom ran his hands down her sides and grabbed her butt, lifting her up onto the hood of her car. He gripped her thighs and squeezed lightly, making her purr with pleasure.

"I swear you sound just like a cat." He teased, pulling back.

Letty rolled her eyes at him and grabbed the sides of his face, pulling his lips back to hers. She wrapped her legs around his waist and brought him even closer. Dom ran one hand up her back and grabbed a handful of her hair, pulling her head back slightly to gain dominance in the kiss.

Dom growled low in his throat as Letty bit his bottom lip, then swiped her tongue across it to sooth the pain.

"Who the hell taught you how to kiss like that?" Dom asked huskily, pausing their kiss to get a much needed breath.

Letty ran a hand through her hair and smiled at him. "I'll never tell." She whispered, gripping the hem of his shirt and pulling up.

Dom grinned and helped her remove his shirt, throwing it somewhere behind him; not that he cared. Letty grinned and ran her hand down his muscular chest, raking her nails across his skin.

"Letty..." He growled, pulling her back to meet his lips.

She smirked in the kiss, and ran her nails down his back, no doubt leaving marks. Her other hand gripped the base of his neck, rubbing her thumb through his hair.

"Oh yea, a lot of talkin' goin' on in here." A voice said, causing the couple to jump away from each other.

Dom turned and cursed as he saw Vince, Leon, Jesse, and Mr. T. standing there, matching grins on their faces. "You guys just live to ruin moments, don't you?" He grumbled, walking over and picking up his discarded shirt.

Letty cleared her throat awkwardly and pushed herself off the hood, running a hand through her wild hair.

"She'll be legal to drive tomorrow, too bad she won't be legal for other things, eh, Dom?" Leon teased.

Dom walked passed them and hit Leon on the shoulder, causing him to yelp in pain. Letty rolled her eyes at the men in her life and excused herself; going up to her room.

*

For about the millionth time that day, Letty looked up at the clock in the math classroom. Her leg was bouncing in uncontrollable excitement, and she was praying for the rest of the hour to hurry up.

She was just twenty minute from going to get her license. Just twenty more minutes, Letty chanted in her head. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Letty slipped it out and onto her lap, away from the teacher's sight, and rolled her eyes at the message from Vince.

U need to chill girl XD –V
Kiss my ass. –L
Nah, that's Dom's job ;-) -V

Letty stifled a laugh, gaining the attention of the aforementioned man. Dom arched an eyebrow at her and pulled his own phone out.

What's so funny? –D
Something Vince said, nbd. –L
Ur leg has been bouncing nonstop like that all day, ain't u tired yet? –D

Letty tried to stop her leg, but it continued again against her will. She looked up at Dom and shrugged sheepishly, causing him to chuckle.

"Leticia. Dominic. Is there something you would like to share with that class?" Mrs. Taylor asked, annoyed.

"No ma'am." Letty replied immediately.

Mrs. Taylor arched an eyebrow at Letty's sudden respectful tone; she'd never even heard the girl use it before.

Letty knew that if she got sent to the office, Mr. T. wouldn't let her get her licenses today. And she wasn't willing to risk it.

*

The entire team had went with Letty to take her test, and were waiting not so patiently for her to get back. The boys were once again debating muscle vs. import, and Dom was mad that Letty wasn't there to back him up on muscle being so much better. Mia had brought one of her girlie magazines, and was twirling her hair while she read it.

Finally, Letty came walking through the doors; her over all air just screamed arrogance and pride, and the smug smirk on her face told Dom everything he needed to know. A grin pulled on his lips as he watched her walk confidently to them.

"Pay up bitches; told ya I'd make a hundred." Letty grinned, shoving the paper towards them.

Vince's jaw dropped as he snatched the paper from her hand. Dom grinned and lifted Letty into the air, spinning her around proudly. The boys were gushing over her perfect score and Mia was teasing them endlessly.

"Oh wow. She did better than all of you! What was that you were saying earlier Vince? How boys are such better drivers than girls?" Mia grinned.

"A perfect score." Dom grinned up at his girl.

Letty smirked proudly. "I know how to fake responsible driving, thank you very much. I even went a few miles under speed limit." She explained.

"First perfect score in the family." Mr. T. said proudly as Dom set her back on her feet.

Mr. T. pulled her into a hug. "I'm proud of you." He said quietly in her ear.
"Thanks...Dad." She whispered back.

Tears immediately sprung into Mr. T.'s eyes; he'd always thought of Letty as his daughter, from the moment she walked into the garage. But, he wasn't sure that Letty would ever think of him as a father figure, much less her father. Those two words meant the world to him, and he'd never forget them.

"You're welcome, mija." He replied softly.

"I can't believe you did better than me, baby girl." Vince said, shocked.

Mr. T. let her out of his embrace and smiled at her. She smiled back and turned to the boys, arguing now over who was the best driver.

"Nah, man. I bet she got some dude as her instructor; probably batted those eyelashes at him to give her a few extra points." Leon teased.

"Or she really is a good driver." Jesse shrugged. Letty smiled at him.
"Jesse's got it right; my instructor was some old woman." She explained.

"Face it, guys, she beat us." Dom sighed.
"Looks like your record no longer stands, Dom." Mr. T. grinned at his son.
"Beat me by one point." He rolled his eyes.
"So she's a point better than you." Mr. T. chuckled, slapping him on the back.

"C'mon, Letty. We need to go celebrate now!" Mr. T. announced.

"Mr. T., really that ain't necessary." Letty objected; she knew what kind of celebration it would turn into.

"Nonsense. It is your sixteenth birthday and you made a perfect score on your driver's test. That warrants a celebration." Dom grinned.

The boys grinned evilly before hoisting her onto their shoulders and walking around screaming "Happy Birthday Letty" or "She just got her license". Her face turned as red as last year.

The next day was Friday, and Letty drove her car to school. Dom missed her presence in his car, but he secretly loved her independent attitude. She'd passed him on the way to school, smoking him out.

Letty had been in a great mood all day, Dom too. All that changed later that night.

The boys were going to the races that night; they didn't bother hiding it from Mr. T. since he always found out anyway. He didn't want them getting caught, that was his only rule.

Letty walked downstairs in tight black skinny jeans and a dark green tank top, smiling as she swirled her car keys around her finger.

Dom arched an eyebrow at her. "Why don't you ride with me?" He asked.
"Cuz I got my license and I can drive myself." She replied.

"No, you just think you're gonna race tonight." Dom said gruffly, crossing his arms.
"And?" Letty snapped.
"And it ain't happening. You ain't racin' Letty." He told her firmly.

"Hell yes I am. I'm sixteen now, Dom. Same age as you when you started racing. Don't give me that 'I'm too young' shit." She growled.

"Well it's different, Letty. I don't even like you going to the races, I ain't letting you race." He snapped, his voice raising.

"You don't have to! You don't own me, and you've got no right telling me when I can or can't race Dominic!" Letty yelled.

"Letty don't be a brat!" Dom yelled.
"Don't be a jackass!" She screamed.

Their rant went on for about ten minutes, yelling and screaming just like they always had. The boys watched, amused but cautious, as the two lovers fought a pointless argument-on Dom's part.

"Screw this." Letty said finally, running out the door.

"Letty where are you-" Dom called after her, but it was too late; she'd already made it to her car and had drove off.

"You shoulda took her keys man." Vince told him.

"I know that now. She'll be there before I can get there and will have already lined up a race with Hector." Dom growled, storming out to his car; extremely pissed off at his girl.

Jesse looked at the remaining two boys. "Well I guess we're leaving now." He said.

Dom drove as fast as he could down to the tracks, music cranked loudly to drown out his thoughts and anger. When he pulled up, he immediately spotted Hector in the crowd and walked over to him.

"You seen Let?" He asked.

Hector chuckled. "Have I seen her? Man, the crazy chica gone loco. She's been in two fights already; knocked 'em both out in one hit. She's pissed about something, alright."

Dom failed at stopping the smirk that pulled on his lips. "She set up a race with you?" He asked.

"Nah, brothah. She ain't even talked to me. She was checkin' out some import's engine last I checked." Hector replied.

Dom breathed a sigh of relief; he didn't like the thought of her racing against some of these busters. He scanned the crowd and finally found her standing by a blue Skyline.

The boys pulled up to the scene and found Dom, relieved when he told them she hadn't signed for a race. Yet at least. They walked over to her, just as another guy did.

Jonny Tran.

"So, Ortiz, I hear you finally got your license." He started.

Dom clenched his fist; he hated Tran, and he hated him even more when he was even near Letty.

"What of it Tran? I got things to look at and your ugly ass face ain't one of 'em." Letty rolled her eyes.

That's my girl, Dom smirked.

"You better watch yourself, Ortiz. That big mouth of yours might get you in trouble someday." Tran chuckled.

"Don't care." Letty replied, turning back to the car.

"You drove here, right? Piece of shit car, really. I'm surprised you even had the guts to bring it here." Tran said loudly, for the growing crowd surrounding them.

Letty's eyes flashed dangerously. "My car can take yours anytime, any day, Tran."
"Care to test that theory?" He smirked.

"I'd love to." Letty snapped, crossing her arms.
"Oh shit." Dom sighed.

There was nothing he could do now; she'd already agreed to a race, with Tran of all people. He curled his fist angrily and watched Tran laugh.

"But, your poor, trashy ass can't afford to race me, sweet cheeks. You've got no money." Tran smirked.

"Then we'll race for pinks. My Nissan your white Mazda." Letty said firmly.

Dom and the boys' eyes bugged out as the words echoed through the crowd. Tran looked mildly surprised, but hid it quickly. "I suppose I can sell it. Let's race, Ortiz. Car for car." He grinned.

"Hector!" Letty called out.

He walked up to them and stretched his hand out for the slips. He sighed as he took Letty's. "You sure about this, chica?" He asked lowly.

"Hector, even if I wasn't I can't back out now." Letty replied.

She turned and paused when she locked eyes with Dom. He had his arms crossed as he all but glared at her.

Oh yea. He was beyond pissed.

Letty flashed him a what-can-you-do shrug and went to pull her car up to the line.

Dom, Vince, and Leon stood still as they waited at the finish line for the race to start. Jesse was bouncing on his heels, showing the nervous anticipation they all felt.

"Baby girl's good..." Vince started.
"But this is Tran..." Leon sighed.

"He better not try any funny business with her; I'll kill him myself." Dom said darkly, glaring at Tran's car.

Two chasers walked in front of the cars, grinning at the attention. They raised their arms, before dramatically letting them fall; sending the two speeding down the road.

Tran pulled an early lead, and Vince and Leon sighed. Dom watched Letty curiously; he knew she wasn't giving it everything.

"What are you doin' Letty?" He asked quietly.

She was close to him, but he was ahead of her. Then, Letty floored the gas and pulled up right beside him. Tran's eyes widened and he hit his NOS, flying in front of her.

Letty smirked. "Too early, asshole."

Then, Letty's car shot forward as she pushed her NOS; shocking the entire crowd. Dom's jaw hit the floor, as did Leon's , and Vince's.

"When did she get NOS?" Dom asked, as she pulled ahead of Tran.

"She's had it ordered for a while. It just came in a few days ago; I helped her with it." Jesse explained, beaming proudly.

Dom's shock expression turned into a grin as Letty pulled across the finish line a mile in front of Tran.

Letty had just wiped the floor with Jonny Tran.
All was forgiven.

Letty grinned and panted slightly at the adrenaline rushing through her veins. She got out of her car and the roar of the crowd nearly deafened her. Letty pushed her door closed with her hip, smirking smugly as she walked over to Hector.

Tran pulled up and was yelling in anger. Dom grinned wider as he saw just how pissed the Asian was, and ran over to meet his girl.

Letty spotted him coming over and grinned. Dom was so completely proud of her, he swore he fell a little more in love with her in that moment. He lifted her up into the air, spinning her around before kissing her hard for everyone to see.

The boys came up to congratulate her, all grinning. "Baby girl, you just beat Tran!" Vince yelled.

"Damn right I did!" Letty replied.
"Way to go, Letty!" Jesse beamed, bumping knuckles with her.
"Baby girl you smoked him!" Leon laughed.

"Sure did." Letty replied cockily.

Dom knew that as much as he loved when she was angry, he loved when she was arrogant more; it was sexy to him and it matched his ego perfectly. She looked up at him questioningly.

"You still mad?" She asked over the crowd.
"Nope. Not a bit." Dom grinned.

Letty grinned back at him as he put her down. "Go get your new car." He told her, motioning over to Hector.

She smirked and walked over to him, a confident sway in her hips as she went; people moved out of her way, not wanting to mess with the next big racer at the scene.

"Here you go, baby! Nice job!" Hector grinned madly, handing her the pink slip and the keys he'd collected from Jonny.

"Hey, yo, Tran!" Letty called out.

He was trying to escape the scene without being ridiculed. Lance was busy trying to call a ride, seeing as how Jonny had drove them. He turned and glared at Letty.

"Get to steppin'!" She yelled, grinning madly.

The crowd laughed as he cursed and stormed off. Dom chuckled and walked up to Letty, wrapping his arms around her.

"Nice job, Mami." He told her fondly.
"Thanks." Letty replied.

"So, which you gonna drive the Mazda home?" He asked.
"Nah. I don't really want it." Letty shook her head.
Dom's eyes widened at her. "What're you gonna do with it?" he asked.

Letty thought for a moment. "You take it." She said seriously.
"What? Let, no. I won't take that car from you." Dom shook his head.

"C'mon, Dom! Think of it as an early birthday/graduation gift. I want my Nissan, and you've been drivin' your car is getting too outdated to keep up out here. You gotta get new upgrades all the time. Take the car." Letty said.

Dom looked at her, before a smile tugged on his lips. "I can't turn down that sweet ride, especially since you won it off Tran..." He trailed off.

"Take the car. I want you to take it. But you need to paint it some other color, the white doesn't really suit you." Letty grinned.

"How 'bout red?" He grinned.
"Sounds perfect." She laughed.

"I can't believe you beat Tran and are giving me his car." Dom shook his head at her.

"Hey, now we're even. You gave me my Nissan." Letty shrugged.
"Alright. Looks like I got myself a new car." Dom grinned excitedly.
"You beat your ass, Papi." She grinned back.

Dom crashed his lips to hers again; he couldn't believe she was giving him the Mazda, but who was hey to really object? She sounded like she really wanted him to have it, so he figure the least he could do was take it off her hands.

"You're something else, you know that Let?" He asked her as they walked to their cars.

Jesse had rode with Leon, and was taking Dom's old car home while Dom drove the Mazda.

"I know." Letty replied seriously.

"I'm crazy about you." He told her, turning her in his arms and pressing his forehead to hers.

"Me too, Dom." She smiled.

Dom kissed her again against the side of his new car. He heard Vince and Leon wolf whistling in the background but he didn't care.
