Chapter 6

I grew tired of staring at Dominic's butt as he fought with a 1996 Honda Civic and decided to take over. I saw Leon's eyes follow me to Dominic's side. We were the only people there.

"Stand aside. This one is for the pros." I laughed as I bumped him away from the car. "If I have to stare at your ass any longer I was going to take an ax to it." I looked it over and decided to take the engine out.

"What are you doing Kid?" Dominic asked.

"What does it look like?"

"Looks like you are about to mess with a perfectly good engine."

"Looks like you got some homework to do Dominic." I began unscrewing all the necessary nuts and bolts in order to get it out.

"Why are you still calling me Dominic?" he asked?

"Cause it sounds purrrrrrdy." I said and laughed.

"Are you on something Em?" Leon asked.

I turned and strutted over to him, my hips swaying back and forth. I pulled my hat off, letting my thick, semi curly wave hair fall free down my back. I walked right in front of him, placed his hands on my hips and whispered in his ear, "Only if you want me to be." I let my lips brush his and walked skipped away, tucking my hair back into my hat and going back to work.

I heard him whisper damn under his breath. I glanced back to see him staring at me as Dominic waved his hand in Leon's face.

*You got him now girl. You got him now. ***********************************

"She did what?" Letty asked as Dominic retold the story.

"She had his jaw dropped. He was drooling."

Letty has holding her stomach as she gasped for hair.

"I wish I could have seen that." Mia said, tilting her head to the side, her hand over her mouth.

"What's that Keith Sweat song? I got him Twisted."

"I think Leon has met his match." Letty said. She had been leaning against Dominic's chest.

"So Emerald. You know that Civic is yours." Dominic said as he held up the keys.

"Wait? Did you say it was mine?"

"Yeah."

I snatched the keys from and took off. "Joy ride! I'll meet you guy at the Forum."

"What?"

"Yeah. I was thinking about getting back into racing. Now I can. Street is back y'all and in full force." **************************

Dominic sat in the car next me while I put my seat belt on and adjusted the mirrors. I glanced up front as Jesse put the cones in the right position and gave me the thumbs up.

I looked to Dominic and smiled.

"What?" He asked.

"Put your seat belt on."

"What? Why?"

"Just do it."

He did and then tried to relax.

I took off at full speed, changing gears with easy. When I got within 500 feet of the cone set up, I hit the brakes and turned the wheel, freaking Dominic out. When we stopped, we were within the cones. Not a single on wobbled or tipped over.

I got out and checked out what I did.

"Hey Dom, Dom." Letty and Mia called. He sat in the car, staring straight ahead.

Everyone rushed to his side but Leon and me. I stood by his side and whispered, "What did you think?"

"Nice. But that's not what I'm thinking."

"Okay. What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking I shouldn't make any moves on you."

"I'm thinking you must not like me then."

"I like you. It's the fact that I like you too much is why."

"Is there any logical reason behind it?"

"I'm afraid I might hurt you or mess up your life. You got all these goals and I'm here working on cars."

I turned to face him. He stared down at me with intense eyes.

"Leon. That is hardly the case. There is no way you could hurt me. I trust you too much. We could at least give it a try."

"Well. Alright. But if anything happens to you, it's off."

"Deal." We turned back to the group who had finally got Dominic out the car and stumbling to help to his own. "You think we should tell them."

"They'll find out later. We can wait until Dom gets over his fear of your driving." He smiled and walked to Dom's car.

I stood there and realized what he meant.

"There is nothing wrong with my driving." I shouted as I followed him. "Dom is just weak man. Honest."

Angel Note: Sorry for the short chapter but I had to get the story into the swing of things.
