Chapter Six

I did as he commanded and quickly brought the car up to the garage door. It was open all the way. Sunlight flooded the room from the garage door and the windows. It was almost eleven and it felt like it was one hundred degrees outside. I sat in a chair and watched the guys hard at work. By the time they were almost done they all had their shirts off and were sweating hard. I sat there staring behind my sunglasses. A huge smile was across my face. The guys had no idea, because every time they glanced in my direction I was busy reading a magazine or thumbing through a book. Once their gaze left and was directed back to the car I looked straight back up. My eyes drifted from body to body. They were all very muscular, although Dominic was the biggest. I gawked at Dom from time to time, but I mainly looked at Leon. He was the kind of guy I really was attracted to.

My last boyfriend had been similar to him. I let my mind painfully drift back to him. His name was Lucas. He was a street racer in Mexico City, once upon a time. He was very muscular and had deep penetrating blue eyes. Although he was not full-blooded Mexican, he still had some in him. My mind drifted over the last few months with him. We would go salsa dancing together and tore up the floor. We were amazing together. I always loved Saturday nights. We would head over to a local club and dance up a storm. We were local celebrities when it came to dancing. I then recalled his light Mexican accent that sent chills up my spine. He loved to talk dirty to me while we danced. It made the chemistry between us surreal. The last few months had been magical, but when Lucas had realized that I was still a virgin, he disappeared. It was the end of the story. I never lied to him and told him that I wasn't, but at the same time I hadn't exactly told him the truth when it came to my sex life. We had been together for six months, but it felt like six years. I had tried to lose it since, but nothing ever worked. I would either chicken out or the guy didn't want to go that far, which would shock the hell out of me. One time I almost did with a guy, but he passed out on top of me in the middle of it. Since then I haven't gone to any parties. I loved Lucas a lot, but that didn't matter to him.

I came from my dream world as the hood of the car was slammed down. I jumped at the sound of it. My feet kept me company in the small lawn chair. I laid the magazine down and began to stand up as Dominic said, "All done."

I glanced at my watch and noticed it was close to three and the sun hadn't let up. My shoulders were a little red from were the sun bore down onto me in the small green chair. I lifted my sunglasses on top of my head and walked over to the car. My hand glided across the top of the hood. Dom had just finished wiping it down. The driver's side window was down. I reached my hand into the car and bent over. I took the keys from the dashboard and inserted them into the ignition. I turned the keys and the car began to purr. Once I was satisfied I turned it off and backed out from the window. The guys stared at me as if they wanted my approval.

"Very nice," I said folding my arms across my chest and smiling.

The guys simultaneously said their thank yous.

"I'm starving," Leon said rubbing his bare stomach. I raped his stomach with my eyes. He seemed not to notice, but Dom did and looked happy.

"Mia fixing supper?" Leon said asking Dom.

"Yeah. Allison we're having a picnic you wanna join?" Dom asked as he wiped his hand with a dirty rag.

"Um. I can't. Max has been pinned up all day. And I need a shower. So can I take a rain check?" I asked trying to not stare.

The sight of three shirtless guys was a little overwhelming.

I heard Vince ask quietly, "Who's Max?"

I turned to him and said quickly, "My dog."

"Oh," he said leaning his head back as he did.

"Sure, why not?" Dom said laying the rag down on a table and walking over to the house.

I gave the guys my thanks again and hopped into my car. I had started the engine and began to pull out when a deep, blood-colored Nissan 240SX pulled up in front of me. There was Letty sitting in the front seat glaring at me over the sunglasses that were resting on her nose. Letty turned off the car and walked up to my car. I rolled down the passenger's side window as Letty stuck her head in.

Letty was trying to pierce through my skin with her eyes. Finally she just said, "Hi, I'm Letty and you are?"

She outstretched her hand and I shook it.

"I'm Allison, but you can call me Allie," I said as she dropped her hand.

Letty gave me a look over and once she realized I wasn't a threat, she ducked out of the window and headed towards the house.
Dom glanced up and saw Allison's car slowly pull out of the driveway, when Letty's car blocked her. He was in the back warming up the grill as Letty stepped out of the car and headed up to Allison's window.

'This can't be good,' he thought as he lit the charcoal.

He saw Letty stick her head in the window. He couldn't hear or see what they were saying, but when Letty's head ducked out he let out a deep sigh. He soon turned his attention back to the grill. Letty passed straight by him and headed into the house. He glanced back at the driveway just in time to see Allison ease past Letty's car. Once she was clear he saw Allison's wheels spin furiously as she zoomed forwards and down the street. The noise of rubber hitting the pavement filled the air for a few seconds. He could smell and see the marks that she had left on the road. He chuckled and yet again turned his attention back to the grill. It was getting hot at this point. Leon stumbled out of the house and stood next to Dom. He had an expression on his face like he wanted to ask Dom something, but was too embarrassed.

"What is it Leon?" Dom asked as he picked up hamburgers and began to lay them precisely on the grill.

"Allison isn't dating anyone, is she?" he said finally.

Dom chuckled and shook his head as he continued to lay the patties down.

"No, not to my knowledge. Why?"

"Why?" Leon said with a look of shock on his face. "Did you see that body? That face? I mean come on even with pants on you can tell that she has a hot body. Did you not see it?" he asked as he lowered his voice so no one else could hear it.

"I saw it. Trying to forget it is my problem," Dom said as he laid the last hamburger in its place.

"Do you think she'd go out with me?" Leon asked almost ignoring Dom's comment.

"Yeah, I don't see why not. I have an idea after the race tonight we'll have a party. Invite her over," Dom suggested.

Leon quickly said, "Dom you're a genius," as he rushed back to the house.

Dom felt somewhat guilty, cause deep inside because he also wanted her to be there.
I sat down on my bed as I zipped up my black boots. I was wearing a tight black halter with a tan leather skirt. Overall I looked hot. I had pulled half my hair up showing off the pair of hoop earrings I wore, the rest lay with the ends curling at my shoulders. I applied makeup and grabbed my keys. I walked out of my room and into the living room where Max laid on the couch. His head rose as I entered the room, but once he saw the keys, he laid it back down.

I opened the door and called behind me, "Be good Max." I shut the door and trailed down to my car, which was parked in front of my house. Butterflies filled my stomach. Although I probably wasn't racing and I would probably see some really sexy guys. Plus I felt sexy, and I hadn't had a boyfriend in a while. This was my chance. I was there in no time. The place where I had parked the time before was empty. It was like it was reserved for me. I stepped out as a circle of people engulfed me. They stared at me, I felt somewhat uncomfortable. An arm slipped around me and I noticed it was Lance.

"Hey," he said kissing me on the cheek.

"Hey," I replied feeling better about my surroundings.

"You racing?" he asked. It was like that was the question on every one's mind.

I turned to him and shook my head. Moans rippled throughout the crowd.

"My car is brand new and I haven't had a chance to try her out. Maybe next time. Besides I think Dom needs a win. I can't whoop his ass all the time, can I?" I asked the crowd. They laughed. The crowd began to part. I could feel Dom's energy surging through the crowd.

Sure enough, there he was. He smiled as his eyes traveled up my body. He had a half smile on his face. His eyes stopped once they saw Lance's arm around my waist. His face went blank. I glanced over at Lance and he was smiling and staring into Dom's eyes. I began to feel uneasy again.

"So," I said clapping my hands together and walking out of Lance's grip. "When we gonna race?" I was trying to lighten the mood. Dominic caught wind of it and released his stare with Lance.

"Any time you feel like it," he said looking over at me.

"Oh, I'm not racing," I said sitting on the hood of the car.

"And why not?" he asked.

"Baby's brand new," I said putting my hands behind me and putting my weight on it. I then crossed my legs. "Haven't gotten a chance to run her. Don't expect me to ride her with out getting a little friendly do you?"

Dom didn't answer. He just walked up to me and handed me a scarf.

"Do the honors?" he asked.

I nodded and took the scarf.

"Let's ride," Dom called out as he backed up.

I stood up and got in my car. Everybody was walking towards theirs. I started the car and headed toward the starting line. I got out of my car and slowly walked to the edge of the starting line.

My knees were shaking as I stepped up into the view of the racers. I gazed across each car and saw the determination in each guy's face. There wasn't one girl racing. The yellow walkie-talkie that was attached to my skirt blared.

"Okay, we're clear!"

I saw Leon watching me intensely from the sidelines. I brought my hand above my head and the cars revved. I brought it down quickly and with ease. The wheels screamed and lunged forwards. The cars sped past me as I turned to watch them. The crowd cheered. The smell of burnt rubber and the sound of screeching tires filled the air. Leon jogged across the start line after the cars had left. He stood beside me as I spoke into the walkie-talkie.

"What's up Jerry? Who's in the lead?"

He answered quickly, "Dom is...Lance isn't that far behind him."

There was a long pause.

"Dom just passed the finish line. Figures."

I laughed at Jerry's sarcasm.

"Thanks Jerry," I said into it as I reached to turn it off, but Jerry stopped me.

"No prob. Allison?"

"Yeah."

"Next race...whoop his ass okay?"

"Will do," I laughed and turned off the walkie-talkie.

I turned and faced Leon. He smiled. It was a broad and gorgeous grin. He wore a white wife beater and a button up shirt over it. His baggy jeans fit nice around his waist. The ski cap was gone from his head. I smiled back in return.

"Hey, there's a party at Dom's place later. I was wondering if you wanted to go with me?"

I smiled again and shrugged my shoulders.

"Sure, why not?"

His face lightened up.

"You seriously didn't think I would say no did you?" I asked him.

He shrugged and I laughed.

"How could I saw no to those eyes?" I asked stepping forwards and kissing him on the cheek.

"I'll meet ya at Dom's?" he asked.

"You betcha," I said walking towards my car.

"Where are you going?" he said stepping toward me.

"To see Dom. Wanna come?"

"Sure," he said sticking his hands in his pockets and walking to the passenger's side door.

He slipped in with ease. I started the car and headed towards the winner's circle. The music blared and I turned it down. Leon reached over and turned it right back up. I smiled as we neared our destination. His usual posse surrounded Dom. People were congratulating and giving him high fives. We stepped out of the car and headed towards the group. We walked side by side. His hand accidentally touched mine. Pretty soon, we neared the crowd holding hands. Tran was nowhere to be found.

The circle parted around us. We entered the center where Dominic stood with Letty beside him. Her arm was around his waist. He was happy. He didn't notice us at first. When the noise died down, Dom went to toast with his beer. His eyes wandered in our direction. His face was blank, but he soon smiled, although it never reached his eyes. His eyes said that he was either angry or disappointed.

Dom raised the beer bottle in the air and said, "Here's to my victory and to my next one against the unbeatable."

He tipped the beer lightly in my direction. He took a sip. I felt everyone's eyes on me. Dom slammed his beer, half finished, to the ground.

He looked at me and screamed, "Let's party."

The uneasiness passed from everyone but me. Everyone cheered as they walked to their car. A party was going on and everyone would be there.
