Wooo!!! Two chapters in three days! I'm on a roll ladies and gentlemen! LOL.

"You have this place all to yourself?" Dom asked when they drove into the garage. The back entrance took them straight into the car lot.

"Only on Mondays, like I said before. We're open Tuesday through Saturday."

"We?"

Letty sighed, "Me and some guys who work for me."

"Oh…they race?"

"Yep, that's how I met them."

"How long have you had this place?"

"What are you, a cop? Damn!" They both laughed at the irony of her statement, "Guess that was a bad comparison." Although laughter was not something Letty was accustomed to since moving to New York, it thawed the ice between them.

"So what do you need to do with your car?"

"Nothing too complicated, but there are a few things I need to do."

"Which are…"

"Umm…I have to change the oil, the spark plugs, the fan belt, and do an engine flush."

"Wanna trade cars for today?"

"You sure?" Letty asked with a tentative look.

"Yeah, all I need is that oil change, so that means you'll have some time to hang and relax."

"I thought you didn't let anyone work on your car."

"No one but you, and you know that, Let."

It was odd for her to hear him say her name so easily, after so long without hearing his voice at all. Dom spoke to her as if nothing had ever happened to disrupt their happiness. "Yeah I know," she said tossing him her keys, "Just makin' sure that still held true." Letty smiled a little, the most she would let herself do.

As soon as Dom caught the keys they heard someone come in from the front, "I thought you were closed?" he asked.

"We are," Letty said, looking curiously at the general direction of the front entrance.

"Letty?! You there?" came a low male voice, and they saw the shadow of a tall man making its way toward them soon after.

"Yeah Nick! I'm in here," Letty yelled.

When Nick came in Dom gave him a dirty look, he was unhappy that this kid had interrupted his alone time with Letty. Nick just smiled pleasantly back at Dom, "Hi, my name's Nick."

"I kinda figured that out," Dom said sarcastically.

Letty noticed that Dom was getting irritated by Nick's presence in the garage and decided to distract them from each other, "What are you doing here Nick?"

"I just thought I'd drop by and help you out, since yesterday at the races you were talking to us about all the stuff you were gonna fix…I came to give you a hand," Nick said, slightly blushing.

"I don't need help, thank you," Letty replied, a little irritated at the fact that he thought she needed help with her car.

Nick nodded, "Alright." He turned to look at Dom, "Who are you?"

"What the fuck is it to you?" Dom answered in an annoyed tone. He was bordering on angry and the urge to hit this guy was getting stronger and stronger.

"Nick," Letty interrupted, "This is Dom…an old friend." Nick was obviously expecting more information but Letty relayed nothing else.

"Okay, well I guess I'll see you later Let," he said walking away.

No one spoke until they heard the front door close and the lock click, soon after they heard the purr of an engine coming to life and then Nick drove off. "Who the hell is he?" Dom asked, as soon as he was sure Nick had gone.

"What the fuck is it to you?" Letty retorted mockingly, using the line he had just used on Nick.

Dom rolled his eyes, "Still a smartass, huh?"

"Always."
