Chapter 15
A week later, with race wars heavily on everybody's mind. They were all scurrying to get their cars in tiptop condition. Letty had come back and apologized for acting the way she did to Ashley and to Dominic. She knew she wasn't getting him back and she didn't want to ruin a perfectly good friendship on an ego trip. It did kinda hurt when the shoe was on the other foot and she was watching enviously at the two trying to secretly share hugs and kisses.
"Yo, Leon, throw me a wrench." She said, sliding from under Ashley's car. They were putting the finishing touches on it. If she was the same old evil Letty, she would have cut her brake wires…but She decided against it.
"This car is gonna decimate all at race wars. I'll bet all my money on this one." Jesse said, leaning against the body of the Honda Civic.
"Yeah," Letty replied. "Its killer, about as good as that car she won…almost. Why aint she racing that?"
He laughed. "She wants that strictly for show. Besides, Dom has yet to teach her to drive it." He said, pointing the car with a tarp over it.
"Well damn," She said, rolling back under it.
Everybody knew she was still jealous as hell at the girl. Who wouldn't be? She had the cars, the man, the looks, the body-everything.
It took everything inside Letty to just come out and say she was sorry even though she figured she had nothing to apologize for. Oh Well. She had to do it for the team. Because she knew this was the man she was destine to have and things would work out for her in the end.

"So is everybody always this excited before race wars?" Ashley asked, lying on her stomach savoring the feeling of Dominic rubbing her shoulders.
" Hell Yes! This is the time where me make money, loose money, and show everybody out there who's team kicks ass and who need to pack is up and go back home."
"We're gonna win all. I have this feelings that something really exciting is gonna happen." She said.
"My turn." Dominic announced, climbing off her. She pouted and mounted his back.
"Did you hear me?" She asked.
"What?"
"I have a feeling something exciting is going to happen,"
He smiled. She was so cute! "Ashley, Something exciting always. Its called racing dip-shit."
He howled with pain as when she pinched his tender flesh. "Smart-ass." She said. "But I'm serious!"
"Your right," He said, turning over on his back with her still there. She rolled off of him and he pulled her close with his big arms. "Something very, very exciting is going to happen, but it all depends on your answer to my question."
"What question?" She asked, looking up at him. She had her head propped up on his broad chest.
He grabbed her hand and laced her fingers in his. "Marry me?"
Ashley sat up quickly. "Ok, did just hear what I think I heard?
"Depends on what you heard…"
She shook her head. "I thought you said 'Marry Me'." She said, laughing at her stupidity.
"Finally you listen to me!"
Her jaw dropped straight down to the ground. "M-Marry…y-you?"
"Yes." He said, reaching over and pulling a ring out of his nightstand drawer. "So what do you say, girl?"
She hesitated for about a millisecond. "YES!" She yelled. Hugging his neck. "I'm gonna be a Toretto!"
He laughed. "Looks that way, huh?"
"I can't believe this. When Mia finds out she's gonna flip!"
Ashley was excited about this, but she was VERY skeptical, because she had only known this man for a month! But through he whole 24 years existence, she'd never loved anybody nearly as much.

"AHHH!" Mia screamed to the top of her lungs. "Are you serious?"
Ashley beamed. "As a heartattack."
"Before Brian and I? No fair! You haven't known him as long as I've known Brian. Me and Him will have a serious talk tonight!"
"No!" She said. "Don't go spreading it now. Its strictly between You, Dom, and me!" She informed her, waving the ring for her to see.
"How in the hell can you hold that shit up?!
"It is kinda heavy. But I'll get used to it."
Mia smiled. "I am so happy for you! Lets go wedding shopping!"
"Ok, cool we can go tomorrow, while Dominic asks my dad for my hand in marriage. Daddy is going to trip out!" She said, laughing.
"MY Brother…The King of "Never getting tied down" is getting married. Congratulations." Mia said, Her smile shown so bright.
Their conversation was broken up by heavy footsteps on the stairs. They immediately shut up about it.
"Didn't you hear me calling for you?" Dom asked, sternly. He looked like something was wrong.
"No, What's wrong?" Ashley asked, advancing towards him, with Mia in Toe.
He was looking down not saying a word.
"Dominic." Mia said.
He couldn't hold it in any longer. "Nothing, I just want to see the looks on your faces!" He said, cracking up laughing.
Ashley and Mia looked at each other annoyed. Mia hauled off and hit him in the chest.
"Oww! What was that for" He asked, looking at Ashley for support. "Are you gonna let her hit your fiancé like that?"
"You deserved it, jerk." She replied, smacking him playfully on the back of the head.
"Two on one!" He stated.
"Dom, your bigger than the both of us put together! Now, what do you want?" Mia inquired.
"Can I have my wife back?" He asked, wrapping his arms around Ashley's waist.
Ashley laughed. "We aint married yet. Now really what do you want?"
He rattled off a couple of things that she needed to do to her car, along with other things she need to do.
She pouted. "You wouldn't make your poor wife work on a nice day like this…"
It was Dom's turned now. He laughed. "We aint married yet." He stated, with a smirk as he walking to the door.
Mia burst out laughing. "Ok, now why are you marrying him?
Ashley shrugged. "He's so fine!" She joked, walking to the door also, linking her arm in his.
Mia shook her head. They were so meant for each other.
