Chapter 6

Brandys pov

" What's going on man?" I asked.

" Well everyone's been waiting for the untouchable two." He said, laughing at me as I rolled my eyes.

"Well we've arrived Chase, and were ready to go, what' s the stakes?"



" Two grand buy in tonight man."

"We got some newbies to the scene from out of town ,they wanna see what you got; and maybe they'll race you next week."

The minute he said it everything fell into place. Vincent's friends were a team (; and he was bound to find out who I was sooner or later. Then I knew it would be over, teams don't tend to mesh well together at all. I mean we''re talking about bonds that have formed over lifetimes.



"I'll try not to disappoint ." Brandon said sneering, as he nudged me to pull out the money .

Rolling my eyes I reached inside my coat pulling out two grand.

"She holds the money." He said walking over to his 2001 Acura.

"Here you are Ice Princess." Chase said nudging me in the ribs,and making me smirk.

If it had been any one else he would have been on the floor. Chase had been in our team before, when Brycewas there. We'd all grown up in the same neoghbor hood bonding over our love of cars.

On the other side of the street Leon wondered why the girl looked vaguely familiar.

"Who the hell is that?" He asked, turning to a racer who had been on the scene longer.

"That's the Ice Princesa, or Princess, if you're a gringo " He said grinning.

"The Ice Princess?"

"Yeah, she's hot as hell , but she's one cold ass bitch, even to her own blood."

"Well, what's her real name?" Leon asked, intrigued.

She reminded him a little of Letty the way she treated the guy she was with.

" I don't know, we've called her Princesa or Princess for as long as I can remember,or Lee, but I know that ain't her real name, it's a middle name or something."

"They any good?"

"Well Princessa don't race no more, but she ain't never lost, her brother's hot shit too."

" I only seen him beat once, and the guy that did … he ain't around no

more, if you know what I'm saying?"

"They kill him?" Leon asked.

"No , he died in a wreck man, messed them up pretty bad, him and his sister."

"Damn." Leon said shaking his head." He knew a thing or two about how rough a wreck could be.

Brandy ( pov)

I hope he doesn't figure out it's me, I mean, I go by Princessa; as long as I stay away from him I'll be fine. I thought trying to reassure myself once again. I was nervous that night , because I knew there was no way Leon came all by himself. I looked on as the racers lined up , and sent a prayer to Bryce, wherever he was. I knew I couldn't stand to lose Brandon too. As difficult as he did make my life, he was the reason Tran wanted to date me. He wanted a part of the untouchable two,but three's a crowd as far as we were concerned, there was no one who could ever replace Bryce. Brandon won that night, and I could tell by the gleam in Leon's eyes, we'd be racing them next week. Just another complication to deal with on my side, I thought, walking towards Brandon as he got out.

"We won , smile Princesa." He said, giving me a hug, and taking the money.

"We always win, mi hermano."

" When we gonna get a challenge, eh ?" I whispered back as I kissed his cheek. ( My brother)

(POV change)

" I can't believe that ramera." Letty said, walking up behind Leon.



"Who you talking about Letty?" He asked, wondering who she was pissed off at when she didn't know anyone there .

"Her, Brandy!"

"Brandy? Where?" he asked looking around, and spotting only... t Oh my God! She's princessa?"

"Yeah, I got her Princessa," She said, stalking forward.

"Wait Letty, wait 'till Friday."

"You trying to tell me we shouldn't tell Vince?" She said, scowling.

"He needs to see it for himself," Leon said shaking his head sadly.

The last time he had never believed anything they said about Amy. amy had been the first , and last girl V had let get close to him tha wasn't a mamber of the team. It seemed like the same scenario was again playing itself over, intelligent, pretty women plays V for a fool. (

"She was just with him Leon, I'm going to kick her ass next week."Letty muttered walking off.

Brandy' s pov



"Can we go now?" I asked, not wanting to hit the after parties.

"Sure, now you can tell me where the hell you were earlier; I know you didn't think I forgot."

"That mi hermano, is none of your business." I said, getting inmakes mo and starting the car.

"Don't pull that Ice Princess shit with me Brandy. Whatever you do, is my business."

"You're not my DAD ," I said going faster as I yelled.

"I know I'm not, but I'm all you got." He said, his voice lowering to a whisper.

I knew he meant well, but sometimes it was just all too much.

Im sorry, B. Kay? Lets not fight. "Im going to tell you , just not 'till I'm ready, okay?" I asked, as I eased the car out of sixth gear.

"Okay, just take it easy on my baby," He said, talking about the car.

I rolled my eyes. The main reason he'd gotten it was because it was a six speed, which was rare; especially for the price range the Acura was actually in. Tha was his way of telling me our fight was over, it was sad in a way that we still had to communicate through our cars after all these years.
