Chapter 12 They walked hand-in-hand down to the cars parked at the side-walk. Vince and Jesse were sitting in V's car, ready to go. Dom winked briefly at Vince then opened his car. He slid into the drivers seat and waited till Letty had shut her door before starting his car. "Mazda, RX-7..." She drawled. Letty turned to face him, the smile still there from before. "how very fitting. Hot car, for a hot guy." Letty put her hand on his thigh, brushing her thumb over the fabric of his pants. Glancing down from the road to her strategically placed hand, Dom smiled. "You know, you're gonna distract my attention." His voice held nothing but excitement. "Awww." Letty pouted sarcastically. "Wouldn't want that now would we?" She moved her hand. "Besides, after that rather amusing to say the least, show at the breakfast table I think I better watch what I do." she said, not at all serious. He nodded his approval. "I'm easily excited, you should know that. For future reference." He turned left and saw Vince do the same in his side mirror. They approached a big grey building on their left. The initials 'DT' were plastered on the side, indicating the entrance. She laughed, shaking her head in amusement. "Definitely gotta remember that." She frowned. "Wait a sec, that mean if you're easily excited that you're a one minute man?" She cringed at the thought. Pulling the car into the car park, he turned and looked at her, an eyebrow raised. "That's a good one." He looked around before continuing. "Let's just say you won't be disappointed, OK? We're here!" He announced as he got out the car. She got out the car and shrugged. smothering her chuckles. "What makes you think I want to find out?" Jesse smiled at Vince as they approached. "This is awesome, glad to be working with ya." Dom led the way over to the shutters surrounding the garage. "Lemme show you around, man!" Vince helped him open shop. Jesse let out a long, slow whistle as the cars were un-vailed to him. Laid out in front were about 15 or 16 high performance cars awaiting attention. "We got a back log of about two weeks!" Dom sighed deeply as he dodged between the lines of cars into the office. "Vince, show him the ropes!" Dom instructed as he went back to Letty. She was still out in the fore-court, examining the beauties. Vince started explaining it all to Jesse. "What you thinking?" Dom asked as he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I'm thinking, you got a sound business set up hear Toretto." She whispered, teasing him. Letty reached up and twisted in his arms, slipping hers neatly around his neck. "Glad to be part of the team." He let his arms fall to her ass. Gently grabbing her, he made sure Vince and Jesse weren't watching. "How'd d'ya feel bout a holiday. Just you an me away for the day?" Letty tilted her head to one side. She was hesitant about this, "Where to?" The other part of her was pleading to go. She needed a few hours to just relax and chill. And even better if Dom was with her. "Ermmm...I dunno. We could just drive, see where we end up." He shrugged his shoulders at her, still looking deep into her dark eyes. Licking her lips, she nodded slowly. A day alone with this hunk of a man? Hell yes! "Definitely. Although, I don't know how I feel about leaving Jesse here alone." She frowned then shrugged. "Ah, he's a big boy now. When do we leave?" Dom laughed quietly. "Look at him," he nodded over her shoulder to Jesse and Vince. They'd already started working. Vince was lying on a trolley below the car and Jesse was bent over the hood. "They're fine. Ain't nobody gonna mess with ma garage!" He took her hand in his. "C'mon let's go," he led her out of the garage and back to his car. "Are you sure about this? Shouldn't we even say goodbye?" But she never stopped, let him take him over to his car. "What about clothes and stuff, underwear? And toothbrushes?" This was usually when Jesse would chuckle at her, calling her too mom-like. And she slap him upside the head and they'd laugh together. "Nah, they're fine. If they need us, Vince has got my cell number. What bout clothes and stuff?" he narrowed his eyes with confusion. Opening the door, Letty slid into the car. He closed it behind her and lowered himself into the driver's seat. "Never mind." She chuckled, rolling her eyes partially. When he'd gotten in she fiddled with his CD player, and sighed, switching it over to the radio only to hear "Furious" By Ja rule come on. She laughed and started rapping and singing along.
