Chapter
3-Angel on the Racetrack
I trust you I trusted you so sad, so sad what love will make you do, all the things that we accept be the things that we regret, so all of my ladies feel me, come on sing with me.
I opened my eyes to the sound of those Goddamn singing birds, God, why must you torture me? I got up and took a shower and changed into a pair of jeans and a tang top. I left my brother a note stating that I'd taken his car and to call me when he was ready. I went to the garage, I drove up the drive way and noticed Dominic was already there.
"Hey Vince! Your sister looks good for a girl who just got out of jail. I mean DAMN GOOD!"
"Do I really?" I asked as I got out of Vince's car and leaned against the car door.
"I wasn't talking 'bout you."
"No really.so I guess my brother has another sister who just got out of jail, right?"
"Alright, so I was talking about you. Ya got a problem with than?"
"I ain't got a fucking problem with that," I reply slyly as I entered the garage.
Dominic followed me and went back to work on his car. "You've got one powerful machine there."
"I know."
"You racing this baby tonight, Dominic?"
"Yeah, why?"
"It's one powerful machine, you should be careful. This baby could cost you your life," I said looking at the engine.
Dominic stared at me not understanding the important information I had just given him, he shook it off and went back to work. It had been almost a year since I'd been to a street race and I missed the feel of the streets; the streets were calling.it's a call I can't ignore.I missed the feel of flying down the street seeing the people flying by. The smell of tire rubber after the cars take off.God I missed that. I ran my fingers along the design on the side of Dominic's car. I remember being six-years-old and climbing into my dad's black Dodge Charger and sitting behind the wheel, I had seen my dad race a few times and I wanted to know what it felt like.I'd soon found out-nine years later.
Time for the race.
It was around 10:00 pm and I had just finished getting ready for race, I put on a black leather mini skirt and white see-through strapless white tang top that showed my stomach. I pulled on a black leather jacket over my shirt. I ran down the stairs and out the door where Johnny Tran was waiting on his black motorcycle, I got on the motorcycle and we drove to the meeting place before the race. I got off the cycle and Tran asked, "Ya need a ride home, Letty?"
"Why would I want a ride home from a fag?" (No offense to those who are gay, I have a few friends who are and there's nothing wrong with people like that.)
"Fuck you bitch!!"
I threw the leather jacket at Tran, everyone in his crew had one and now this meant I wasn't part of his any more. I was gonna prove myself tonight and hope that Dominic offers me a place on his team and in his family.I walked around looking at the race cars, there were some tight ass ones. I looked at a red Acura Intergra, I ran my fingers along the silver and green design on the car.
"You like my car?"
I looked up at the owner of the car, "It's a nice ass car."
"So it's just nice?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Who you rollin' with?"
"No one at the moment, why you making me an offer?"
"Yeah, to be my girl."
I looked him over, he was FINE, I mean Ja Rule fine.DAMN.
"I'll accept your offer, Edwin."
"You don't mind if I bet you, do you?"
"No, not at all." But I knew who he was racing and I knew he chances of winning were slim and I knew who would win me. See I'm not stupid, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, it's Edwin who didn't. Maybe that was my big warning sign, that I knew what I was getting myself and everybody else into.
Four cars pulled up, a red Mazda Rx-7, a baby blue Acura Integra, a yellow Nissan Skyline which are illegal in the USA and a blue Nissan Matima. I knew exactly who's they were the red Dominic's, the baby blue Mia's, the yellow Leon's, and the blue my brother's, Vince's. They got out of their cars and walked over to Hector.
"We got anything good tonight?" Dominic asked looking at Hector's green Honda Civic HB.
"Yeah, we do," Edwin said, his arm was around my shoulders. "This," Edwin said as he spun me around.
"Caliente," Hector said licking his lips.
Dominic's eyes went wide, "You're betting Letty?!" I could hear the shock and concern in his voice.
"Yes."
"Well then she's riding with Hector. Cuz all the cash and prizes are going with him. And this is one delicious prize."
"Lets go then."
Hector opened the door to his Civic and I got in; we all went to where the real action was. I got out of the car and walked over to Edwin, I looked up at him and asked in my sweetest, sexiest voice as I placed my hand on his chest drawing circles on his chest with my finger, "Can I race instead of you?"
"Why?"
"It's me who's being betted, so I should be able to race," I replied putting my sexy puppy face on.
"In what?"
"Your car."
"."
"Well?"
".Alright, you win."
"Keys," I said extending my hand. He placed the keys in my hand and I got into his red Acura Integra, I drove up to the starting line. Hector put his hands up, waited a few seconds and then his hands quickly went down. Dom took the lead, with me right on his tail; I knew I could beat him but I didn't want to make him look bad if front of 'the guys' if that's what you call them. I pushed the NOS button at the same time Dom did. We both flew past the finish line at the same time.a tie.fuck I could have won. Dom got out of his car and said, "Well Edwin it seems as though you've been practicing."
"Actually it's Letty and I don't need to practice," I said as I got out of the car.
"Why is it that you always surprise me."
"Because that's the way I am."
"Well I guess we'll have to do this race over."
"Why?" Edwin asked.
"Because I was suppose to race you not Leticia Rodriguez."
"It's Letty," I said as I eyed him, although Leticia is my given name, I'd rather be called Letty.
"Alright but still we have to redo the race before the busters come."
"Alright, lets get ready."
I looked behind me and spotted a white Volkswagon Jetta, which I knew was Jesse's. I walked over to his car and sat on the hood.
"Hey! Get off my.Letty, gurl what are you doing here?"
"What everybody else is doing, watching the races."
"I saw you race Toretto, I know you could have beaten him."
"I didn't want to make him look bad."
"I swear you're an angel on the racetrack," Jesse said as he kissed me on the forehead.
"LETTY! Get over here!" Dom shouted at me as he was looking under his hood.
"Coming, see ya later Jesse."
"Yeah, see ya later."
"And Jesse."
"What?"
"Be careful, I didn't need to lose my best friend.not just yet."
"You're my guardian angel, Letty. You're my guardian angel!" Jesse shouted as I walked over to Dom.
"Yeah and you're my protector!" I shouted as I walked up to Dominic. "What?"
"Check my engine make sure this baby is working alright," Dom said leaning over the engine.
"Alright," I said leaning over the engine.
I check the engine and I noticed something was loose. "Dom, can you get me a wrench?"
"Why?"
"Something's loose, I need to tighten it."
"Leon, get Letty a wrench."
"Alright," Leon grabbed a wrench from his car and handed it to me.
I tightened the loose piece and handed the wrench to Leon. I keep on checking the engine; suddenly Dom whispered, "You look damn sexy."
"I heard that."
"I know I wanted you to."
I looked into his eyes.he was being honest. I swallowed hard and said, "Why you looking? I see a whole bunch of hos that want you to fuck them. Why don't you say that to them?"
"Cuz they aren't as sexy as you," Dom said as his hand went up my back.
It sent shivers down my spine, I don't now why but I wanted him to kiss me. He leaned in, are faces were an inch apart. He caressed my cheek; I whispered in his ear, "Yeah, but I'm Edwin's girl."
"So it doesn't mean we can't have a little fun, does it?"
I pulled my hair to one side to expose my black bra straps; Dom looked me over as I closed the hood.
"Could I beat him?"
"Beat who?" I asked as I leaded against the hood of the car.
I knew where most guys' eyes were, on my ass and breast but not Dom's his were locked with mines, it sent shivers down my spine that he wasn't looking where most guys were. His eyes seemed deep, what I mean is deeper than most guys, I looked at my black combat boots with red flames on them trying to break our connection.
"Edwin."
I looked up at him, "With all that shit in there, I surprised you haven't blown up yet."
"I told you, I told you Dom you have enough shit in there to kill yourself!!" Mia shouted at her brother as she threw a fit.
"Shut the fuck up, Mia! That's not what I was saying. I mean he has enough shit in there to win more money then he makes. I'm surprised he hasn't blown up in the real racing scene where it's all about the money, cars and the bitchy hoes begging to be fucked all the time."
"How do you know about that?"
"You'd be surprised at what you could learn in the deeps of hell."
"You learned about it in prison?"
"Yeah, most of the women who were in there came from there. God they had the best life.Why aren't you there?"
"I'll be there soon."
"Hey! Look I suggest we get this race over with before the busters come," Hector said, as he looked me over again.
I rolled my eyes and walked over to Edwin, he was getting his car ready when Jesse came up to me. "Hey Jesse. What's up?"
"I've got to go before my dad gets mad."
"Alright, Jesse. Be careful."
"I will."
I gave him a hug and put a rosary around his neck and said, "This will protect you."
"Thanks, tell me who wins, Letty."
"I will."
Jesse got into his car and drove off. Jesse had A.D.D his father gets angry with him a lot and hits him. He always comes to me for help; I've seen him so many times with bruises, cuts, and blood all over him and still he won't call the busters on his dad. He's one of my best friends along with Mia. I love Jesse like a brother, but sometimes I wish I could just beat the fuck out of his dad, that God damn basted!
See when I get the strength to leave you always tell me that you need me and I'm weak cuz I believe you and I'm mad because I love you, so I stop and think that maybe you could learn to appreciate me, then it all remains the same that you ain't never gonna, never gonna change, never gonna change.
I trust you I trusted you so sad, so sad what love will make you do, all the things that we accept be the things that we regret, so all of my ladies feel me, come on sing with me.
