CH.15



It was a rainy Sunday, so all the team was at home. Mia, Bryan, Vince, Leon, Letty and Jesse were watching a movie in the living room. Annie was reading a book on an armchair. Dom took a beer and went watching outside the window. It was a dull, lazy day.

Mia stood up to prepare some popcorn. What had been useful in Annie's training was that Vince seemed to leave her alone and Dom had given her two more weeks of time for their bet about the bar, because she had to spend more and more time on their driving lessons. Finally, that Sunday she could rest a little. She deserved it.

Dom had never given her a break lately. He'd became more strict, uncompromising and intractable. It seemed that whatever Annie did, it was always wrong. Sometimes when she was alone in her room at night, Anastasia cried depressed and frustrated. She felt so incapable that now, every time he was going to talk her, she was worried it was for a scolding.

At the drive, things weren't going so much better even if Annie tried as best as she could to do everything Dom told her. But that Sunday he didn't torture her. Finally a day of rest. She deserved it so much, to relax from all the tension she'd accumulated.

She tried not to think about it, and to concentrate on her book instead, but her eyes came back watching him, while he looked outside the window. He was beautiful and strong and still he intimidated her even if she would have never showed him. She sighed silently. She liked him. Rather! Every time he looked at her, she melted and when he touched her, it was like a jolt of electricity. Fortunately, since the day she's been sick, he'd no more touched her except for a kiss and lately, he'd become so tough and untreatable. Anyway she should have been happy thought Annie for this, at least she didn't risk to have any other closer encounters with him, or his girlfriend, but she felt strangely empty and sad. Heck! Free your mind! She ordered herself upset.

Suddenly he turned. She looked away fast, blushing and hoping he hadn't noticed that she'd been staring at him. "Let's go," he told her suddenly, picking up the keys of his car, "let's go out," he commanded firmly.

"W-what?" she blinked.

"C'mon," he insisted.

"Where??" she asked stubbornly, frowning.

"Come with me," he said decidedly, and, not waiting for her answer, he took his jacket.

"Please!" she begged. "For one time, why you don't give me a break?"

Dom gave her a warning look. "Move your ass. C'mon," he said sharply.

"I'd like to know if I have a choice in all that" she asked sarcastically.

"You sure don't. Move!" She stood up and followed him outside in the garage.

She heard the rest of the team laugh back to her in a mockery tone. Anger grew inside her: He would have to pay for this! Even on Sunday and a day like that, she had to drive! "Listen, why you want to go on with all this? I'm simply not able to drive as you like, let's end it and I'll pay you for all your work and the car." She tried to say. It was frustrating but she wasn't able to do what he wanted her to.

He jumped inside his car from the driving side, enlightening it. She waited outside the car.

"You come immediately or do I have to get out and grab you?" he said fed up. She snorted angrily, half closing her eyes, and jumped in too. He drove outside the garage, into the rain.

"You don't look too happy," he stated flatly after a while without taking his eyes off the street.

"Should I be?" she asked in a sarcastic and angry tone.

"Lot of people would be," he replied quietly, not caring of her tone.

She glanced at him. What was all that politeness now?

"Oh, yeah. Lot of girls would be" she teased him. She wasn't in the mood for games. He stopped the car at the traffic light and turned to stare at her. She angrily turned to look at him. They didn't speak. His usual tough look was now deep and undecipherable bewildering her. A strange electricity suddenly filled the air. Then both of them came back watching the street.

"Why..why do you insist so much with me? I'm not able. I'm simply not!" she said devastated. "It's important," he told her still very quietly. "But why? I'll never be able to race. I simply haven't a flair for it and you continue and more and more, like. like a torture!!" she said, giving voice to her pain. She wanted to look controlled but she was dangerously losing it. She felt so depressed and tired.

Annie breathed deeply and looked around, desperately trying not to cry and forcing herself to concentrate on where they were going. He didn't answer and a heavy silence came between them.

After a long moment he asked quietly: "You consider this a torture?"

"Heck yeah!" She said rolling her eyes: "And you! . You are a torture! Seems you like to treat me like that - to yell at me!" she said losing her temper. He couldn't restrain a little grin, she was for someway right, but after all this wasn't a game: She had to learn, it was very important.

"We both know that I'll never be able to race, so why to continue? Why don't you give up?"

"Stop to feel sorry for yourself," he replied toughly.

"You're sadistic, arrogant, conceited!" she burst out angrily.

He grinned as it was pretty funny what she was saying. She saw it and her anger grew even more: "What a bastard you are, Toretto!" she said, now completely furious. He was unbearable!

Meanwhile they'd arrived nearby the beach. The sky looked like the sea: grey and furious. Like my mood, Annie thought darkly. At that point, the desert street passed nearby the cliff. The sea was so stormy that it crashed violently against the rocks and some water came down the street. It was terribly amazing. Dom stopped the car at the edge of the street under some high rocks.

She looked around confused. Outside it was raining deeply. "Why did we stop here?" she asked worried. He didn't answer, just switched off the engine and turned to look at her, waiting.

She didn't understand, until she felt a big uproar and what had to be an enormous wave crashed against the rocks powerfully, part of it overtaking the obstacle and splashing on the car, making it shake, covering it completely with white sea foam.

"Aaah!" Annie shouted in surprise, widening her eyes, looking at the scene and grabbing his forearm as if to ask for protection.

For a few second they'd been isolated from the rest of the world, then she looked fascinated at the sea foam slowly sliding down. Then another wave, bigger than before half passed the rocks, covering the car again and mixing with the rain who was falling down. This time she expected it and just stayed there watching amazed the beautiful show of the nature, her eyes widened in surprise and joy. Her hand was still on his forearm but she didn't care. She'd forgotten the entire world around her, too taken by what she was seeing.

"So?" he softly asked her after a while: "Still angry with me?" he paused. "Am I still as arrogant, sadistic and conceited as before?" he asked her quietly.

She turned to face him. He was observing her fascinated.

She blinked as if to realize what he'd asked her, then she noticed her hand resting on his forearm and took it off immediately like he was burning her.

"Yes," she answered, too stubborn and proud to give in. "But. but it's so.beautiful!" she said motioning with her hand at the waves outside shuddering the car. Her eyes shone in excitement as she stared back at him.

"There's something scaring and at the same time exciting and beautiful in all this" Annie said thrilled.

"Yeah," he said in a breath. His eyes so deep had lost the usual toughness.

She felt a familiar stab to her stomach. He lifted his arm and with his rough index he caressed her cheek, then pushed back a hair lock from her face. She was mesmerized and didn't move, feeling her mouth become dry.

He placed his hand on the nape of her neck caressing it, causing her to shiver at the soft touch. He approached and slowly covered her mouth with his one.

He forced his way to her mouth, exploring her inside, at the beginning slowly and delicate, then with increasing passion. She put a hand on his chest as if to grab herself from the passion he was awaking inside her.

When he left her they were both panting hard. She swallowed looking at him, his eyes were full of desire. He pushed back his front seat to have more space.

"C'mere," he whispered grabbing her arm.

"W-what?" She hesitated, not knowing what to do.

"You've never done it in a car?" he asked ironically with a grin.

"No" she answered softly, blushing and lowering her eyes down.

He simply smiled.

"Ok! Laugh if you want!" she told him frowning, afraid he would mock her.

"It's time for your first time!" he simply told her with a comprehensive smile: "C'mere," he invited her softly, gently helping her to sit astride him.

She had to be very close to him because of the little space of the cockpit. She put her hands on both sides nearby his head, her hair falling down in a soft cascade. She smiled a bit nervously at him and he caressed her back tenderly.

"You know, you look like a cat" whispered Dom: "With those eyes . . . " he caressed her face with his finger.

She smiled mischievously. "Know how cats do?" asked Annie.

"No?"

"When they see their master come, they approach him . . . " Annie said lowering her face to his earlobe.

"Mmh . . . "

"Very near . . . . " she whispered softly in his ear.

"Mmh," he shut his eyes and grinned.

"They rub themselves." she continued, gently rubbing her body against his provokingly and caressing his cheek with her lips, trailing to his mouth and barely brushing against his lips. He placed his hands on her waist and made her moving on him as he liked.

"Yess." He watched her face again, his eyes half closed of desire.

She smiled satisfied. "To leave their smell," she continued on his lips in a whisper, "to mark their territory." She kissed him delicately, almost only brushing his lips.

"I love cats . . . ." he whispered on her lips and putting a hand through her hair, he kissed her deeply and passionately.

She felt excitement growing inside her. He lowered his hands from her waist down to her thighs and caressed them slowly raising up her dress, touching her bare skin.

Outside the weather was terrible but inside the temperature grew hotter. "Mmh . . . . " he purred. He kissed her chin, her cheek, her earlobe making her shiver while she ran her fingers over his chest slowly unbuttoning his shirt and caressing his hot skin.

He led her to his mouth to kiss her again while his hands ran over her arms, her back, her bottom, caressing and driving her crazy.

"Ooh . . . . ." She closed her eyes.

"Undress yourself," he ordered suddenly.

"W-what?" she asked opening her eyes confused.

"I want to see you naked."

"But if someone see us-" she tried to say checking outside where the storm was exploding. "No one will see us" he whispered.

"But-" She tried to reason but it was hard. "Ush! You speak too much," he said grabbing her hair and pulling her down to close her mouth with a hot kiss.

"C'mon do it for me Anastasia . . . . undress yourself" he whispered seductively.

She took the fabric of her dress hesitantly and slipped it slowly off over her head. She looked back at him blushing under his attentive and hungry gaze.

"My passion fruit" he whispered with a satisfied grin grabbing her and pushing her body near to him, holding her in his big arms and kissing her deeply. They caressed each other driving themselves to the top of pleasure.

Suddenly he stopped her. "I want you Anastasia . . . now."

"I have to take off my pants" she said breathing hard.

"Take them off immediately or I'll tear them up" he said grinning on her lips, breathing her hot breath.

"No, wait I need them later!" She giggled nervously. She was barely able to take them off from where she was and there was a moment of embarrassment, where she was there looking at him hesitantly. "Don't worry" he paused smiling reassuring: "Come here" he whispered softly helping her.

She grabbed his shoulders, feeling the need to hold onto him because of the strong sensations invading her body, her mind. He slowly guided her. It was great, as if they were born to be together.

"Oooh-" She moaned loudly at his perfect touch closing her eyes.

He smiled: "You like?" he asked her. "Don't you dare to stop," she whispered. He smiled satisfied. She was so beautiful and perfect like a nymph. His nymph. When no one of them could resist no more they came, shouting at the same time, lost in a completely ecstasy of pleasure. Nothing else mattered, only their sensations, their feelings.

When they slowly came back to reality, she was in his arms, still on top of him, her head on his chest. He softly caressed her back. "You know-" he started.

"Yes" she whispered lifting a little to stare at him.

"You were right about Italians-" he said with a mischievous smile. She giggled.

"Dom?" she said after a long while.

"Mmh . . . . " he replied with his eyes closed, still caressing her back with his finger drowsily.

"If there will ever be a next time . . . . well, . . . . . we'll take my car. There's more space," she explained.

"Are you saying that you don't like my car ?" he asked her chuckling.

"No, it's a nice car" she said: "Just too small for . . . . . some kinds of sports" she said giggling.

He chuckled amused and raised her chin to kiss her. "Ok."

That's how they lived , thought Anastasia. Day by day. Live the moment, maybe there won't be another, she thought sadly, sighing silently "Wanna drive?" he asked her suddenly, bringing her back to reality.

"What?" she asked still distracted lifting her head up to stare at him.

"Wanna drive it?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No" he said very quietly gently smiling, his eyes glittering as he looked at her.

"Truly I can?" she asked amazed.

"Yeah" he chuckled amused at her reaction.

"Ok!" she said happily.

"Ok!"

"But,-you mean . . . . . now?" she asked frowning.

"No, next year. Of course now!" he told her.

"Wow, ok!" she said happily, kissing his lips lightly, and then got back to her place. They dressed up and Dom took them to a quiet road, then made her drive.



"So? What's that? An excuse to give me another driving lesson?" she asked after a while in a kidding tone.

He smiled: "You offend me. Honestly, you think me able of this?" he asked in a fake hurt tone, playing the game.

"Oh, if it's for that, I think even worse about you!" she laughed.

He chuckled at that. "Beware, you owe me a lot of money!" he teased her.

"What do I risk? You want me to give you my dress?" she replied roguishly.

"Mmh . . . sounds good to me. But not here, now . . . . . maybe later!" he grinned back.

"Maniac!" she replied, pretending to be offended.

He grinned even more. "No. Just hungry".

"I'll buy you a sandwich."

He grunted still grinning. "I didn't mean that."

"I know," she replied smiling naughtily.

He glanced at her and smirked. Meanwhile it had stopped to rain and the sky had opened, allowing the sun to shine.

"Oh! Come on is it possible that we are blocked here?!" Annie said bored by the intense traffic and eager to test Dom's car. He smiled.

"C'mon! C'mon! Ok. that's enough!" She was fed up and slalomed slowly through the traffic.

"Oh, oh, wow!" Dom said worried, caught unaware. But thanks to what Annie had done, now they where running again. "You drive like Bryan. Who are you? A cop?" He asked her suddenly suspicious: "Where did you learn this?"

"This? You mean what I just did?" she asked a little surprised.

"Yeah"

"As an Italian, beside the other things you have to know this, or you don't run through our traffic" she said smiling.

"You sure?" he insisted.

"Why?"

"I mean why Jesse hasn't found anything about you" he gave voice to the doubts that had been on his mind for the last few days.

She frowned. "Maybe because I'm Italian and Italian people aren't on the net?" she tried to say casually. He gave her a warning look.

"I'm clean," she said becoming serious again, "if it's that, what you meant" she ended glancing at him as she had read his thoughts.

"Why should I trust you?" Dom asked raising an eyebrow.

"Perhaps, because I would have run away with the money already," she replied teasing him.

He looked at her thoughtfully, actually weighing up what she had said, then he finally nodded. "And could you do that again?" he asked more interested, dropping the subject.

She slalomed a few cars overtaking some others. "Like this?" she asked.

Finally, he said satisfied: "That's what I wanted!"

"You're kidding me?"

"Absolutely not."

"It was this? All you told me to do, it was for this?" she couldn't believe it.

"Heck yeah!" Dom said: "Plus two or three other things you're now ready to learn" he added grinning.

"Wow!" she said suddenly wanting to laugh for joy.

"Yeah, but keep your eyes on the street!" he admonished her.

"And I thought I was stupid!" said Annie almost to herself still not believing.

"I never told you that."

"But you did everything to make me feel like that," she made it clear, shaking her head bitterly.

He frowned. Had he been so tough with her?

"I should only find someone with which testing my ability now" she said looking around.

"Calm down. You still have to learn a few other things before. Tonight we'll gonna test you" he told her quietly.

The next three hours were very productive for Annie. It was like if something between Dom and her had magically went off. Finally, whatever he told her to do she was able to put into practice. As the time passed she was more and more skilled making enormous progress as she'd never imagined she would have been able to do. Dom taught her plenty of little but useful tricks to keep her car in control, to let her feel and understand the engine and each single variation of sound made by it.

Finally, they stopped at the traffic light. After a moment, another car stopped nearby Dom's side.

"Hey baby, your pimp trust you to drive his car?" asked the man on a flaming Toyota Supra loudly directly to Annie.

"Don't be taken in," Dom warned her softly.

Annie smiled provokingly, raising an eyebrow. "Well - " She started to say loudly enough so that the man could hear her. "You know, I did a shine job with him and. that's my prize!" she ended ironically.

Dom's lips bent in an amused grin. There was something true in what she'd just said.

"Watch you mouth Anastasia," he admonished her, anyways.

The man made his car roar. " The item interests me. Are you free later?" the man asked her insolently, ignoring Dom completely. Dom started to be upset. He was ready to reply when Anastasia stopped him placing a hand on his forearm, giving a sign with her eyes to play the game.

"You know" she replied to the man: "I could leave you trailing some dust," she smiled seductively. Both Annie and Dom now looked at the man.

"When?" asked the man.

"Now" she replied.

"With what? That jalopy?" he asked her surprised, chuckling ironically.

Dom frowned and turned toward her: "Smoke him" She smiled satisfied and nodded: That's what she wanted.

The green light appeared and they pushed the accelerator all the way down to the floor making the tires screech until they smoked. The race started.

Annie had never imagined that she could run so fast. "Don't look at the speedometers," Dom suggested. "Hold the wheel tightly. Look far. Be ready for everything," he continued, his voice very controlled.

For a long moment they stayed side by side running fast, so fast.

They met two cars on their lane, one overtaking the other, and the road became smaller than before. "Ooh, wow! Be careful!" Dom said worried, holding himself to the handle.

"There's only one who's gonna pass those cars-" Annie said decisive, almost to herself: "And it'll be me," she added, softly pushing the accelerator a little more, and in a fast and swift move she passed the Toyota and slipped between the two cars, just in time because the street became smaller and the Toyota remained behind the two cars.

"Wow!" Annie breathed deeply watching her rear-view mirror for the Toyota, still behind the two cars. It had been an incredible unload of adrenaline, she'd never felt like that before.

"Uh! Uh!" said Dom glancing back and breathing deeply: "You're definitely ready, hon, for your first step. You'll start tonight," he announced.



One hour later Dom and Annie stopped at a restaurant to eat something. "You're almost ready," Dom said after a long moment. "You just need a good motivation before."

"Yeah, or maybe some good sex before," Annie teased him smiling ironically.

"Maybe," he replied amused by her impudence. "You know, pizza girl . . . . beware of your tongue or . . . it might cause you some problems."

"Mmh . . . maybe . . . . " She accepted tilting her head quietly. "But you didn't talk like that before," she ended roguishly but also nonchalantly.

He smiled amused at her allusion, and with a swift move he covered her mouth with his one, giving her a breathless kiss. When he left her she looked confused and surprised. "Told you to watch your mouth!" he whispered with a grin.

She swallowed and blinked trying to clear her mind.

He smiled satisfied at her reaction and ate a shrimp very calmly: "You know, if I didn't know you and it wasn't for the accent, I could think you'd come from some other LA team," he told her in a fake reproach.

"But you don't know me," she underlined with the most fascinating smile she had, eating a shrimp.

He stared at her for a while dumbfounded: "Yeah" he admitted darkly in a low tone shaking his head. "You're terrible, know that?" he grimaced after a while, not wanting to spoil that day. She nodded smiling.

"Think I can make some money off your ass," Dom told her dropping the subject.

"Really hope so. Maybe I'll be able to pay my debt to you finally."

"Yeah, at the Race Wars" he quietly told her.

"What?" she asked not understanding.

"Race Wars. In four months. You'll be ready by that time. There, you'll give me back the money."

"What's that?" Annie asked.

"You'll discover it soon" he answered her enigmatically eating another shrimp. "Eat now," he ordered. "Tonight you're gonna have your first test".
