CH. 1

She was new there. Someone told her that, this was the right place to meet nice people. El Gato Negro. And here she was. She got off her black Subaru Impreza and looked around. There were all kind of people outside that night club and a long queue to enter it. She turned and furrowed her eyebrow watching at the parking. Many beautiful sport cars were gathered there with lot of people around them. Looks interesting, thought Anastasia with a smile. She got in her car and drove to the parking where with some difficulties she found a little place to stop her car and got out.

Each guy was nearby his car, proud of his *jewel* cheat chatting with other people while very showy girls made sheep's eyes at them. She turned out of that scene, with an ironical smile. She was definitely different from that girls. First because she had her own car, then because she wasn't the kind of person to do that. She'd always thought to be enough insignificant not too tall with her pale skin, her blue clear eyes and her blond hair which had their peculiarity in their length till her waist. But she often kept them tied up in a plait. Tonight she'd left them free wearing a blue tank top, blue camouflage cargo pants that let show her navel and black military boots a chain belt around her waist.

She looked very chaste and at the same time tough, compared with those chicks out there which sent her hostiles glances, without she even knew the reason. She looked at her car; from where she came, they said it was spectacular, but now, nearby those ones it faded. Anyway like all the other drivers there, she was proud of her *jewel* .

"It's your car?" she heard a male voice talking to her.

"What?" she turned to see from where the voice came.

A tall, blond guy, with big blue eyes, tanned but not too much and a friendly smile on his face was looking at her. "That's yours?" he repeated accentuating his smile when she turned to him and looked at him a little lost.

He was cute, thought Anastasia to herself. "I'm standing next to it" she replied.

He smiled more and chuckled "That's funny" he said: " One time, someone told me that it's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car, better learn that" he ended.

"Well! Uh!.I don't race" she replied smiling embarrassed "but it's still my car!" she ended smiling friendly to the guy.

"I'm Bryan. Bryan O'Connor, but here they call me Spillner" She looked at him with a questioning look. "Long story" he added with a smile offering his hand "And, I bet you're new here, I haven't seen you before" he said.

"Yeah. I'm Anastasia. Anastasia Walker" she said shacking his hand "and this is, yes, my first time here".

A tanned girl, very attractive, came possessive near to Bryan and he held her in his arms. "Mia, meet Anastasia Walker. She's new here" said Bryan.

Mia watched attentively Anastasia. She knew that Mia was weighting her up and valuing if she was dangerous or not.

Anastasia didn't want enemies just someone with which talk a little. "Hy!" she said as much friendly as she could, offering her hand to the girl.

Mia waited for a while than a bit wary shook her hand. "Hy! I'm Mia Toretto, Bryan is my fiancé . So you're new here. When did you arrive?" she asked with a friendly smile.

"I'm happy to meet you. Yes, I'm new. I'm just arrived 5 minutes ago", answered Anastasia, feeling uneasy. Looked like everyone knew all about everyone there.

"What do you do here?" Mia asked her with a neutral tone: "You race?"

"No, I don't " said Anastasia smiling " just wanted to." but Anastasia was interrupted by a guy. "Mia? Dom's calling you!" a young guy told her.

"Sorry gotta go, nice to meet you" and she immediately went away.

"Who's Dom?" asked Anastasia frowning curious.

Bryan smiled: "Dom is Dom. He's the chief, the boss. The racer to beat. The one. Just Dom" he simply said. "Oh!" she nodded" Looks like someone special" she said in a fake solemnly tone.

Bryan grinned " It's because he is. You don't know him: once you'll meet, you'll see" he said.

"Yep. Maybe" said doubtfully Annie nodding.

"Listen, this is the garage where I work" he said giving her a small card: "if you need for anything please come take a visit, ok?" he told her. She nodded. He was a very nice guy.

" Very nice car. Original?" he asked her.

"Yeah, completely." She said giving a glance to her car proudly.

" It would be a perfect race car working on it a little." He said thoughtfully: "Ok, gotta go now, the race gonna start. See you"

"See you" said Anastasia with a smile.

She looked around once more: what a crazy world was this one. Kind of big tribe with some kind of hierarchy. She'd never seen something like that and it was fascinating. But she came from another world. Another life, made of parties, sophisticated people, big expensive cars, all this, from where she came it simply wasn't allowed. She remained there still for a while, looking around amazed by all that. She sighed, she would have liked to be part of all that. Me racing? She shook her head smiling to herself. Simply impossible. She decided it was enough for her, also because a couple of strange guys were staring her since a while with a strange look and she didn't want to have problems, so she jumped in her car and switched her engine on.

Heck! Looked like people had increased meanwhile. There was no place to manoeuvre. She started to go reverse gear. She couldn't see a lot so she slowly moved her car, there were plenty of people around her now, when someone suddenly knocked on her hood making her turning to face him but she didn't stop her car and without even perceiving.. Boom! She had crashed into someone.

"Shit! Noo!" She said. Not here. Not now! She thought closing her eyes. Who knows against who the heck she'd crashed into! Those cars worth enough, she thought and her only hope was that she would have crashed against someone very comprehensive.

She breathed deeply and got off her car, going back to look at the damages she'd caused. The crowd had opened suddenly, and she noticed that she'd run into a beautiful red sport car damaging it quiet a lot. She looked than at her car, she'd done quiet a disaster even on her one. All the eyes of the crowd were on her murmuring something, and she would have wished that the ground would have swallowed her up now.

"Can't believe it!" she said to herself blushing, putting a hand through her long hairs shocked. Now she only hoped that the owner of the car got enough humor and lot of patience, because once he'd discovered that she had no insurance and no money, well. he wouldn't have been so happy. People were mocking her and she blushed even more.

"Another snowman!" she heard saying.

"Who gave you the license?" an angry voice came from the crowd.

She grimaced nervously, why the heck I wanted to come here? She darkly thought.

"Yeah, who gave you the license?" an husky deep male voice joined her making her starting. She gulped and slowly turned herself to face him. He was big, but very big; Tanned, tall, muscled, enormous. in a phew words: amazing. He was fascinating with his dark magnetic eyes. She regretted that she was meeting him in such bad circumstances. His look was tough and indecipherable. She felt so small nearby him.

"I.I'm sorry I was going on reverse gear when someone distracted me and."

"Your man let you drive his car?" he interrupted her, not caring at all to what she was saying. He looked quiet almost with a sarcastic smile but she knew he had to be angry.

She snorted:" It's my car" she said determined Why everybody asked her always the same question?

"What's that?" he asked gesturing with his head at the chain she wore around her waist: "It's the collar with which your fiancé keeps you in check ?"he asked ironical.

Arrogant bastard!

She looked toughly at him: "I'm the only owner of my self" Don't let him overpower you. Said Annie mentally to herself.

"And that one?" she replied her lips bent in a grin, using his same irony and motioning with her head toward his ring on his hand: "Is that the collar with which -your- fiancé holds -you- tight?" she asked teasing him with a seducing smile.

Touché he thought. He smiled. He liked her way to be so insolent.

"Do I know you" he asked frowning. His eyes glittering of interest.

"No. You don't" she mysteriously replied.

He smiled more and slowly licked his lips. Very interesting. Someone called, telling him that it was the right time to race. He nodded and turned to face her again. "Listen , I don't have time to talk now. Come tomorrow at 11.00 pm, here" he said giving her an address: " Oh, and don't try to make tricks or try to hide yourself, because it'd be useless." he warned her.

She nodded putting the small card in her pocket . "Now drive away baby. I'm busy" he ended waving his hand like if she was a boring insect.

"See you tomorrow" said Annie jumping on her car.

She heard a voice back to her before going away: " You're becoming too soft Dom" it was a girl's voice.

"Maybe" was the enigmatic Dom reply in a low tone.

But Annie didn't see his face who was fixing her car moving away, his eyes full of interest. She was already driving fast away from there.
