Pushing my black ray bans up on my face  I stepped out of the 240 , low riders barley hanging on my hips.

"Pull your pants up!" L said making me laugh. It was the same way every time. We always picked on each other when we were nervous.

"They aint bothering me," I said shrugging as I slammed the door, and headed toward the car garage I knew Dom owned. I wonder if he'd be the same I knew he had got into to some bad stuff when his dad died, and was in Jail for 2 years. That hardens a person.

  "You go first," L said quietly making me laugh.

"You such a scaredy cat, always trying to be a hard ass," I said laughing as I walked in front of her.

"I am not, take it back," she said giving me a shove as I laughed.

 

"Hola mis amigos!" I said loudly leaning on the door frame as I made my entrance.

"Who the hell are you ?" Lety asked with a sneer.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I asked laughing as I motioned for L to follow me in.

"I'm looking for Leon." I said lowering my shades to scan the room.

"Well you found him sweetheart," He said pushing  himself from under the blue Civic he was working on.  My mouth went dry as I saw what a fine man he had really become.  I turned to my sister  anger in my eyes.

"You could have warned me," I hissed as she smirked.

"Eh, I told you he was caliente esa."

"You didn't tell me he was that caliente !" I hissed  trying not to be too loud.

 

"So what can I do for you .. ladies," he said raking his eyes up, and down our bodies.  I got a shiver as I realized a part of me wanted him.

"You don't recognize us cuz?" My sister asked saving the day.

"I don't think I could forget you two," he said slyly as he leaned toward her slightly, before taking a step back.

"Oh shit! L, and Ladie!"  he said scooping us both up in a gigantic hug.

"When did you two getting so freaking hot!"

"Like wise cuz," I said a smirk on my face.

"Well well if aint the tribiani twins," Dom said walking out of the office.

"Dommy baby!"  I said walking over to hug him, using the nickname only me, and Letty could use.

"Sup Lad?" He asked smiling as he looked from me to Letty. Somehow even apart we had turned out to be so much alike it was scary.

  "How the hell you living girl!" Letty said embracing me as she laughed at herself for not recognizing me. Letty had come to see me once a few years ago when she turned 16, and got her license. Told me what had happened to Dom, and just used me as a shoulder to cry on . It was one of those things I would take to the grave,  me , and her were just like that.  I'd been different then, flat chested,and pale. Now I was taller, leaner, and darker.

"Have I changed that much?" I said laughing.

"She aint since you were eight girl!" Leon said not catching her wink.

"Where's V?" I asked looking around.

"Picking Mia up from school, we're changing her clutch."

"OOh ," I said nodding my hands itching to get oily.

 

"You still into cars huh?" Jesse said walking in from school.

"Jess!" I yelled loosing my  cool as I ran enveloping him into a hug.

"Why do I get the feeling they were somehow talking to each other the whole time they were apart?" Dom murmured to Letty.

"Cause knowing them to they probably  were, besides what else would Jesse be doing those days he disappears for hours at a time?" She asked snorting.

 o:p/o:p

 o:p/o:p

"Hey Ladie baby!" he said pulling me close " I missed you," He whispered so onli I could here.

" I missed you too." I said smiling

"That answers the question of why Jesse aint dating anyone," Dom said relieved that there was a legitimate excuse.

   L smiled as she watched her sister with Jesse. It was only a matter of time before that love connection happened. Leaning against Leon my breathe caught in my chest As I saw Vince walk up with Mia. She was walking a bit ahead of him, but his emotions were all in his eyes. He wanted her,but she clearly did not want him. He looked hurt almost like she had turned him down  harshly. Well if she had any say in it, that would all end soon.

  "Who the hell is this?" Mia asked looking my sister up , and down rolling her eyes lightly.

"Who you talking about like that?" I asked moving towards her. No one talked about my sister like that when I was standing in the same room. Ladie interrupted me as she laughed, and turned to Mia with a cruel smile.

"RRrr I smell snot."

"HOLY FUCKING Shit!" Vince said rushing in front of Mia, and picking  up my sister.

"Ladie tribiani!" He said swinging her around. "Aint no one else gonna talk to Mia toretto like that!" He said laughing as she slapped him on the head and told him to  set her down. Laughing he turned to me , and suddenly became quiet.  I was puzzled as I looked down , I was dressed in a pair of frayed jeans, and a pink halter top, nothing spectacular.

"Leighanne tribiani, you have sure grown up," He said  licking his lips.

"You think?" I said coyly tilting my head to the side.

"I know, You look good L," he said grinning wolfishly.

"Hold on there coyote's r us, that's my little cousin." Leon said wrapping his arm around me.

"Relax man, he aint jumping her bones," letty said  mouthing the word "yet" to me as she walked off.
