Chapter 10
"Dominic this don't feel cool man. Ashley was right; it's this weird feeling in the air."
Dominic rolled his eyes. "Leon, its just a race. Just like any other night. It aint nothing new!" Dom said into his cell phone.
"Man, I trying to tell you…"
Dominic slapped his phone down before he could finish. What was with everybody today? Folks was trippin on some high level. First Ashley was sick, then Letty flips out, now Leon is talking about stuff didn't feel right? Was it too much to ask to make some money, and take Ashley somewhere where they can just chill for a few days, no interruptions, no people to wig out on them, no nothing.
He sighed as he pulled into the crowd of people, his fans, and his supporters. "Here we go." He said, getting out. He had a line of people waiting to get at him and try their best to beat him.
Everything was fine, so what was the big deal?
~*~*
"Ash, Dom has raced a thousand times. I can't even remember how old he was when he started. He'll be fine!" Mia said, plopping down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn.
Ashley shook her head. "No, you don't understand, "I love you sweetie" was the last thing my mother said to me before she died. It just wasn't this good feeling." Ashley explained, with frantic hand motions.
Mia's eyes stared at her. "What? I didn't know your mother died…"
Ashley closed her eyes, making a dam to shield her tears. "Well, now you do." She said, softly. Her voice was nothing short of a whisper. "Mi, I really don't want to get into all that right now. Its just…that…" She said, starting to get chocked up.
"Shh," Mia said pulling her close to her in a friendly embrace. "I understand. My daddy died too."
Ashley and Mia sat there with each contemplating and crying about everything that was wrong and everything that is right in this world.
"Look, we can't do this. We're strong women!" Mia encouraged. "We can get over things in our life. Any obstacle through at us, we can get through stuff. Come on, let's wipe the tears and watch movies, ok?"
Ashley grinned. "Good idea…I don't usually cry in front of people. I kinda have this tough/girly image I try to keep that in check…so uh…try not to tell anybody."
"Oh yeah, that tough girl thing. I was never good at that!" Mia said, trotting off to the kitchen.
Ashley got comfortable and stretched out on the couch. She turned on the T.V and flipped through the channels.
"Breaking NEWS." The T.V read.
" At 11 o'clock the first shots rang out at 5th and Glen. A reported street race has gone wrong. Leaving one dead and 3 injured. This has turned into a bloody gang fight. More on this and in one minute."
Ashley sat there dead silent as the anchor read off his paper. Her knees got weak and she fell back on the chair.
"Mia!" She screamed, as the same screen popped up on screen again. Mia ran at top speeds to see what was up. She too, fell to the couch when she saw Dominic's shot up bright red RX-7.
"That's Dom's car…" She said, clasping Ashley's hand tightly.
Ashley silently shook her head. Anger and hurt surged throughout her body. She jumped up from her sitting spot and ran to the door. She grabbed her keys and flung open the door, racing to her car. She grabbed a PP 7 silencer rifle out of her trunk.
"NO ASHLEY!" Mia wailed. "Its too dangerous! PLEASE STAY HERE!"
"I CANT! Dom's hurt I have to see what happened!"
"STOP TRYING TO BE A HERO ALL THE TIME!"
Ashley slammed the door to the car shut. "I'M not trying to be a HERO!" She howled.
"Put the gun down!" Mia instructed.
"No!"
They stood there looking at each other. Waiting for the other to speak. "Mia, I have to go…" Ashley's said. Her voice had drop drastically to a sad plead. "…I have too…I cant loose him Mia. Don't you understand? This is your brother! And I love him! I cant loose him!" Ashley dropped the gun and dropped to her knees beside the car, crying. She jumped to her feet when she heard squealing tires and roaring engines. Mia ran to her side.
They watched the cars advance closer to them.
"That's Leon's car!" Mia exclaimed.
They watched Leon, Vince, Jesse, and Dominic get out. Ashley finally breathed.
"Dominic! I was so worried about you! I thought you were gone!" She let out. She ran and jumped up in his arms. Throwing her legs around his waist. He picked her up and held her tight.
"I'm sorry. I should have stayed here. I shouldn't have left." Dom stammered, his lips crashing into hers.
She kept herself there, loving the feeling of herself in his arms. "I love you, Dom."
"I love you too."
As she climbed down from his massive body, she punched him in the stomach as hard as she could, knocking the breath out of him. "Don't ever do that again!"
He smiled as he clutched his stomach.
"Yeah, we're alright too!" Leon called to her.
"You got a fox there." Vince said, watching her figure as she walked back into the house.
"Yeah, tell me about it." He responded, trying to catch his breath.
~*~*
"Dom, don't ever scare me like that again." Ashley whispered in his ear. She traced her finger down his back.
"I wont." He said back. His head, resting on her chest moved up and down as she did.
The whole gang had sat down to watch a movie. It was something with killing and car racing. Ashley, being he usually self liked those kind of movies, but she was more interested in Dom at the moment.
"Lets go upstairs." He purposed with a grin.
"And what will we do?"
"You'll see when we get there." He said, getting up, grabbing her hand. She followed behind him, giggle like a schoolgirl.
"I thought we were bad." Mia said, to Brian.
Ashley tried he hardest to keep up with Dominic as he bounded up stairs. He pulled her into his room and slammed the door shut.
"So now that we're here…?" Ashley said in a lascivious tone. She was pressed firmly against the doorway by Dom's frame. He kissed her, softly at first, then harder in a lickerish sort of way. His arms dropped to her voluptuous ass. With pure muscle and strength he pick her up by her backside, lifting her off her feet.
Dominic was trying his best to control himself. He didn't want her to feel like he was forcing himself on her, nor did he want to hurt her. He dropped her gently on the bed and climbed on top of her. The moment he had been dying to reach. Ashley grinded her teeth together, trying to be as quiet as possible, but as they both reached their peak she cried out in complete and utter ecstasy. Theirs bodies shook, recuperating from what just took place inside of them. She collapsed on top of him with a heave and just lay there with him massaging her shoulders until she fell fast asleep. Dominic watched her sleeping. She looked like an angel, peaceful in her slumber. He got up from the bed and walked over to his black pants. A wad of money fell out as he did this- his winnings from that night. He should have been happy, but he wasn't. The only way he would have enjoyed winning, was having her right there with him to celebrate. 7,000 dollars, right there in his hand and the only thing he could think about was, her. He turned around a saw her lying there looking a beautiful. He dropped the money on his nightstand and climbed in beside her. Everything was cool with them- together.

Baby I love you, you are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side
You're my relation and connection to the sun
With you next to me, there's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrops, I am the seed
With you and God who's my sunlight I'm blooming, grown so beautifully
Baby I'm so proud, proud to be your girl
You make the confusion go all away from this cold and misty world
