I woke up on the couch the rest of the team sitting down watching a movie. Jess, and me had rolled in about three, and crashed on the couch falling asleep as we talked.
"What time is it?"
" Well hello sunshine," Leon said his voice making me laugh.
"Its 2 yo, " Letty said from her seat on Dom' slap.
" Dang," I said running my hands over my face.
"Jesse already up?"
" Yea, and working on the Jetta."
Still? Man I'm going to go make him take a break."
"He's been at it since like 10: 00 this morning." L called as I walked up stairs to shower and change before heading to the garage.
"Jesse?" I called as I stepped into the nearly empty garage.
"Hey!" He said sliding from under the car, and wiping his hands on a rag.
"What are you doing?" I asked laughing as I crouched down in my white tank, and cut off fatigues .
"Just making sure the cars are all set for tonight."
"We're racing in a few days , on Sunday."
"I know, we got challenged"
"That seems to happen a lot," I said gently tapping his nose in a rare mushy moment.
"Did you just get up?" He asked standing as I leaned back to give him room.
"Yea, at 2:00"
"So..." He said looking around. I laughed at his nervous manner.
"Chill out bro," I said gently punching his arms things aint no different now since we're going out then when we were friends.. well except we make out," I said laughing .
"I know, I just, it makes me nervous," he said blushing.
"Its ok," I said gently patting his back as we walked out together.

"Something's up with them," I whispered to V as they walked in together.
"They like each other," he said shrugging.
'Its more that that I'm telling you, just look at how they talk to each other, " I said causing him to turn . The two were almost close enough that their bodies touched, and Ladie was actually leaning into him.
"You are so nosey," He said laughing as he shook his head.
"Like you don't want to know."
"Yea, but when I want to know I ask." "Yo Ladie"
"Sup V?" She asked turning to face me.
"Sup with you and Jess?"
The team laughed at her horror stricken face.
"Ouch, busted," Letty said laughing.
"She's my girlfriend," Jess said speaking up for the both of them .
"Its bout damn time! V said making Jesse blush more.
"Pay back," I mouthed laughing at her glare .
A few days later
We all headed that night, me in V's car, and Ladie in Jesse's. We were racing the Trans again, this time on their turf in Chinatown .
"I' wonder what they're going to be running," V murmured as we pulled up.
"The best that money can buy from the looks of it," I said as we pulled into the high class parking lot next to an upscale restaurant.
"For sure, " he said as we stepped out. I was still amazed at the way people always seemed to "know" where to be. Though it was a one on one thing, there were plenty of people already there , and waiting. As we walked in I remembered it was us they were waiting on. When we saw the Mercedes my heart dropped.
"Theres no way we can beat them," I murmured.
"Don't worry girl , Jesse added a little something extra to the cars today." V said smiling, and pulling me closer. My mouth dropped open as the race ended with Dom leaving Tran in the dust.
"How the hell?"

"Hell yea nitrous oxide baby!" I said turning to high five Jesse. We had spent the better part of a week installing it.
"I think we're one of the few who even know what it is right now." My smile froze as I though I spotted a familiar face in the crowd. My suspicions were confirmed by my sisters
"That mother..."
"Let's go party Jess," I said walking towards the car.
"Yes! Now we party," he said rushing to get into the car.
