My stomach churned as I sat in the backseat of
Mia's new Aquamarine Acura. Letty was in the passenger
seat , and we were all headed to the Tran restaurant.
Dom came up with the ideal that if the two families
merged, we would be unbeatable. I knew he was right,
they were the second best racing team out there, us
being the first, but something about it made me
queasy.
"Dom are you sure you want to do this?" Vince asked as
they drove in the car ahead of the girls.
"It couldn't hurt, come on man we'll making a
killing." He said shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly
.
"Guys do you think this is going to work?" I asked
quietly from the back/
"Yea, I mean its not like we ever had any bad blood
between us." Mia said .
" Yea Lad, we'd be awesome together, we don't even
have to hang with them outside of racing if we don't
want to ." Letty said agreeing.
"I know I just … I got a funny feeling about this," I
said shaking my head and sitting back in the seat with
a huff.
"Let us worry about that , you just concentrate on
school," Letty said . I was the only one besides Mia
who even looked like they were gonna graduate school.
The team was always on me about doing my homework, and
studying for tests. It was a funny site to see, Dom
all dirty form working on the cars, and bitching at me
about the importance of school.
"You just make sure you stay clear of Johnny, and
Lance when were not doing business," Mia murmured a
moment later.
You noticed huh?" I sad referring to the way they
liked to undress us with their eyes. They would
probably look at Letty too if they hadn't Dom would
rip their eyes out.
"How can I not, it always feels like they're starring
a freaking hole into me."
" I don't like that," Letty said scowling. Even though
I was 17 now, she still felt the need to protect me, I
guess some things never change .
"Its going to be ok you guys things will work out,"
Mia said as well pulled into the parking lot.
"What do you think of these guys?" Leon asked Jesse as
he turned of the cars."
"I don't really know them, they're damn good racers,
but I don't like the look that Lance kid gets in his
eyes, he's a few spark plugs short if you know what
I'm saying. "
"I hear ya bro," He said as they stepped out, and
walked in.
Pulling our sunglasses onto our face, the three of us
stepped out of the car, and walked in surrounded by
the guys.
"I want you to keep close, and stay quite for once,"
Dom said his voice rough, and gravely like it always
was when he was trying to get his point across.
"I can take care of myself Dom," Letty said scowling
harder than she was before.
"Damn it Letty!" " I don't want have to worry about
you to on top of everything else."
"Whatever," She said shrugging her shoulders. Her way
of agreeing to his to being silent for the time being.
"You all right?" Vince asked draping his arm around my
shoulder.
"Yea, I just have a bad feeling about this V."
Walking in we spotted Johnny, and Lance sitting
with a girl I had never seen before. She was petite
with long black hair, chocolate eyes, and long black
eyelashes. I hated to admit it, but she was
absolutely gorgeous. Judging from Letty's tense
shoulders, and clenched mouth , she agreed.
"Welcome, sit," Johnny said pulling out chairs for us
girls. Ignoring him, we all sat in a both across from
the other guys while Dom went over to sit across from
him. As the two talked I winced. The girl who had
turned out to be Johnny's sister April was eyeing Dom
like she was a starving woman, and he was a piece of
meat.
:This can not be good: I thought. The thing that
really made my blood boil was the fact that Dom was
glancing her way when he thought no one was looking.
"Down Bitch," I murmured making everyone turn to me,
and Letty raise her eyebrow.
"I was just thinking outloud." I said shrugging. Used
to my sudden out burst they all turned away . Shaking
my head I let my thoughts wander. I knew that Dom
wasn't a hundred percent faithful to Let, but
cheating on her with a Tran would be ….. Something I
didn't even want to think about . The hairs on the
back of my neck bristled, a nd I turned slowly
towards the direction of the glare I was feeling.
Locking eyes with Lance, I forced a fake smile, and
turned to see Jesse boiling.
"What Dom said to be nice?"
" It aint you I'm pissed at ," He said giving Lance a
glare of his own. One that screamed : She's mine so
you better find another one."
"Its all set guys , Tonight we race," Dom said as he
stood up, and they both walked over to the table.
