Chapter 2- The Red Halter Top
The run down house had belonged to the Toretto's parents and they had left it for their children in their will. It was a small but roomy modest house on the coast of Baja, Mexico. Lauren killed the engine and quickly smoothed out her clothes to attempt to make a good second impression on the people that she had called her family not so long ago.
She left her luggage in the car and walked into the house, as she expected, the door was unlocked. Mia was sitting on the couch with a laptop on her lap typing furiously onto the keyboard. She looked up and her eyes froze.
"I didn't think you'd come" Mia whispered as she pulled Lauren into a hug. Lauren just hugged back and it seemed an eternity that they were hugging.
"Hey, the guys and Letty are working for this guy Pablo, in his garage, wanna swing by?" Mia asked in a fake cheery tone.
"Okay" Lauren said apprehensively, "But you have to tell me what happened and how V and Jesse are"
"Deal" Mia replied with a half smile. It was the first time she had even begin to smile since the last truck.
They loaded into the car, and Mia began her story, "You should've been there, he was gorgeous, his name was Brian, of course Vince hated him but that didn't matter we went out and I thought he loved me, he was an undercover. Well, it was the last truck Dom had promised, and everything went wrong, Vince has a shotgun wound and his arm had deep lacerations from the wire. And Jesse had raced Tran for slips and lost, and when Jesse bailed with the Jetta, Lance and Johnny came around and shot him. Brian went after Johnny and killed him, but Lance is still out there. Brian talks to me, he is lying low in Miami, but he says he loved me for real and that he'll be back. Vince is ok, Jesse is hanging in, Hector is gonna bring them to us as soon as they are released. We have to stay here in Baja till the shit calms down" Mia explained, she looked hopeful, and before we knew we had arrived at the garage.
Leon was working on an Acura thinking about how lame the races down in Mexico were when he saw Mia approaching the garage with...it couldn't be it was impossible, it was......Lauren. She looked better than ever, her blonde hair was pulled up in a ponytail her eyes seemed to sparkle; she was wearing a white mini skirt, with a blood red halter and a pair of red Converse Chuck Taylor's. He recognized her halter from back when they were together and he couldn't help but lick his lips after he had surveyed her body.
When Lauren saw Leon her heart seemed to jump, he was shirtless and wearing a pair of baggy khakis. He stopped what he was doing and walked over to her. As Mia saw him approach she walked away claiming she had "things to do" and left with a wink.
They stood in front of each other looking into each others eyes. They knew that her little disappearing act was forgiven. They shared this telepathy type thing, where they constantly knew what the other was thinking.
Notice me, Take my hand, Why are we strangers when our love is strong, Why carry on without me? All of a sudden Leon couldn't help it, as much as he wanted to scream at her for leaving him his body just kept on pulling him toward her, like this gravitational force. "Why did you come back?" he asked, his green eyes hinting sadness. "I thought I could live with out you, but I was wrong" she whispered softly looking down, as if afraid to see his reaction. Everytime I try to fly I fall, without my wings I feel so small I guess I need you baby. "I couldn't block you out of my mind, I tried hard but even when I got through a day without thinking about you, that night you'd be all I dreamt about" she said softly as she looked up toward his face.
And everytime I see you in my dreams, I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby.
"I pretended that you were around, I would talk to myself and pretend you were there to listen, but in my heart I knew that you had moved on with some skank, and I was just moping over you for no reason, because I'd never get you back" she whispered as if it were a great secret. I make believe that you are here, It's the only way I see clear, what have I done
you seem to move on easy. "No, never" he replied "I could never get over you, you hurt me so much" he said moving closer and snaking an arm around her waist. "I'm sorry" she whispered innocently and gave her best angel face. I may have made it rain, Please forgive me, my weakness caused you pain,
and this song is my sorry.
All of a sudden the gap between them closed as they kissed and through Leon's mind was filled with memories of their relationship. All of a sudden, he remembered why the halter she was wearing seemed so familiar; It was the one she'd worn on the day they met.
