Disclaimer: As usual I don't own anyone seen in the movie!! I do own anyone not found in the movie! Thanks.
After putting on shorts and a tank Heather headed out the door and got in her Lancer, setting sail for Dom's house. She was early for once and headed for the backyard where yelling could be heard. Peeking around the side of the house, Heather saw Leon and V holding water guns and shooting the hell out of Mia and Letty. She smiled when she saw the hose a few feet in front of her but she wasn't sure if she could turn it on get it and surprise them. Luckily for her Brian caught on to what she was going to do and turned the hose on for her while she snuck and got it soaking Leon and V. They turned around and their expressions were priceless.
"What don't like getting a taste of your own medicine? Awww poor babies." Heather ran shortly after and hid behind Brian.
"Shit Brian save me!" Heather laughed trying to dodge Leon and V. He was no use cause he was laughing to hard.
"Looks like you're on your own girl." V advanced on her with the water gun
"And no where to run." Leon pointed out winking at her. Leon and V looked at each other smiling and squirted the hell out of her.
"Hey! Brian turned the hose on." she said trying to get the water gun from Leon.
"Oh really?" V asked before soaking Brian too.
"Sorry Brian but if I was getting wet so were you." she gave him an apologetic look before running from Leon who looked like he was getting his second wind.
Eventually, Heather caught up with Letty and Mia who were talking about anything and everything. Still not seeing Dom she started talking to Letty and Mia not really paying attention to what they were saying just letting her mind wonder.
"Mia get your ass over here the chicken's done." Dom's voice startled her causing Heather to meet his eyes. He gave her a small smile before going back in the house to get more beer.
"Come on babe food's getting cold." Leon stepped in front of her helping her up out of the chair she was occupying. Heather made sure she drug Letty along too. After dinner the team decided to watch a movie.
Of course no one could agree so Jesse was picked to close his eyes and just grab one. His choice wasn't bad, The Italian Job was popped in the DVD played while everyone got comfortable. Heather was on Leon's Lap in one of the love seats, Mia and Brian in the other, V and Jess were on the floor and Letty and Dom shared the couch. Heather snuggled into Leon trying to fall asleep but it just wasn't happening. She kept thinking about the other night with Dom about how right it felt but how wrong it actually was. Although Dom and Letty were not together anymore, it looked as though Letty wanted him back. Heather could tell just by the way she looked at him. 5 years didn't just vanish and sometimes you needed to be apart for awhile. Love is the greatest force known to man but could you love two people at the same time?
'How the hell did everything get so complicated? I want Leon but I want Dom too. Leon's a great guy and I'm thinking about Dom. He deserves so much more, Dom has Letty even if he doesn't know it. Them two are meant for each other and Leon deserves someone who could love him. I can' take Dom away from Letty and I can't hurt Leon or the rest of the team. I could pretend for awhile before I straighten everything out but I know I won't have much time.' Heather's thoughts were everywhere and it didn't help that she could feel Dom's gaze on her. She pretended to sleep hoping everything would just go away.
Heather woke up on the couch in the arms of a snoring Leon. She watched him noticing how peaceful he looked just laying there. He was so warm that she cuddled up to him laying there a few minutes longer before getting up. Noticing that V and Jesse were still passed out on the floor, dead to the world. She was tempted to wake them up with some ice water but decided against it knowing it was to early for games.
So she went down stairs to grab a shower, a pair of Leon's jeans, and his jersey. He wouldn't mind. When she finished getting dressed she snuck back into the living room, the guys were right were she left them no surprise there. Walking over to Leon, she climbed on him brushing her lips against his He let out a moan as his eye lids fluttered, dreaming was he? Heather brought her lips to his starting out slow but soon they were exploring each others mouth with their tongues.
"Mmmmm Leon, wake up baby." she purred nibbling on his ear. His eyes fluttered open,
"I could get use to that." he whispered smiling pulling her flat against him letting his hands play in her wet hair.
"You look good in my clothes."
"I hope you don't mind none of my stuff is over here."
"Not at all babe." he smiled an idea came to him.
"Want to get out of here?" he asked sitting up.
"And go where?"
"Anywhere you want."
"Well then move your ass boy." they both laughed as Leon grabbed his keys with Heather following. They left the house with no destination in mind and not a care in the world.
Of course their little rendezvous didn't last long and soon they were back at the garage. It was going to be another hot, lazy summer day and being under a car just made it worse. But they had to get done Race Wars was in two weeks and everyone wanted something done to their car. Heather noticed something , Letty and Dom seemed different. They were more playful to each other always laughing and whispering. 12 rolled around awfully slow and before the clock struck 12:01 Letty and Dom were in his office closing all the blinds. Everyone knew what they were doing and Heather didn't want to stick around for the show.
"I'm getting lunch guys." she called out not even waiting for their orders before jumping in her car. She was out of there in 4.2 seconds letting the Lancer come to life under her. All she kept thinking about Dom and Letty. 'They belonged together why am I so upset?' she thought to herself but her mind kept chanting because you love him.
She knew what she needed, to race. To calm down a little, to just think about one thing, the finish line. The boys weren't going to die if she wasn't right back with their food, well Vince might but he'd just have to get over it. It didn't take long for her to find some competition but it wasn't who she was expecting. Heather was stopped at a light when a dark blue Maxima pulled up beside her with shark designs on it. 'What the hell was Vince doing here?' she wondered.
"I thought you were getting lunch?"
"I thought you were back at the garage waiting." she shot back with a smile.
"Well I was until you didn't come back in 10 minutes besides it was getting to loud in there anyway." Vince noticed her face fell but wasn't real sure why.
"You alright? I don't want to beat you if you're not at your best." he made her laugh.
"You wish." Heather laughed at him "Let's go."
The light changed and their tires spun wanting to catch the asphalt. Heather shot out in front of him but the Maxima just wasn't having it, it came back so they were neck and neck. She sifted into fourth pulling away he hit his NOS and flew past her. She hit hers a second later but it was to late he already won. Heather spun her car so she was right beside him.
"Don't worry I won't tell anyone how I whooped your ass." he laughed at her expression.
"You know I want a rematch."
"Anytime babe."
"Yea well you better be ready next time to have your ass handed to you." she smirked
"Come on lets go get lunch." They raced to the store laughing the whole way.
After talking to Mia for a little while they headed back to work. Heather saw that Letty and Dom were done and huffed. Isn't that what she wanted for them to get back together? Or was she just lying to herself? She felt like she was being suffocated so after she was finished with the Eclipse she told Dom she was leaving. Of course he wasn't happy about it he but let her go, he was in a pretty good mood. Heather could only wonder why.
In the Garage:
Around four they closed up eager to get home and chill out, literally. Dom and V hung back to close up the place while everyone else left.
"Where did Heather go earlier?" Dom asked
"I'm surprised you noticed." V said smiling.
"She went to get lunch." he finished.
"Is she alright, seemed upset when she left." Dom asked wanting to know if it was anything he did.
"Yea she was." V said giving him no other information. Vince finally put the pieces together, she loved him.
"Don't pull her in, not this one." V warned looking Dom in the eye. Dom stared at him knowing that he was right. He ran a hand over his stubble head sighing.
"I won't she deserves better besides I have Letty ." Dom tried to reassure Vince and himself but he knew that it was a lie it was to late.
"Lets roll." Dom called out walking to the Rx-7 waiting for V. They drove home without another word on the matter.
Heather's POV:
The next week passed without incident. I managed to keep Dom out of my head knowing it was wrong for even thinking about him in some ways. If I wasn't home or at work I was with Leon. We went out to dinner a couple times and spent the rest of the evenings on the beach. It was a little piece of heaven that I never wanted to give up.
I knew I could end up loving Leon but I knew I was in love with some else. It wasn't right and I could never act on my feelings but I could always wonder what if. I was usually always over Dom's house not going to mine unless I wanted to be alone. Which wasn't real often. I finally found family and love in the most unlikely place the only question is will it last?
After spending the whole Saturday with Leon we went home both extremely tired from the day's passed activities. I climbed in his bed with him on the other side and cuddled up closing my eyes falling fast asleep. I'm not sure what woke me up but I couldn't fall back asleep. I checked the clock before getting up, it was 2:45am when I climbed out of bed. I headed to the kitchen for something cold to drink hoping it would put me back to sleep. The house was dead silent and pitch black which was a rarity in itself. I made it to the fridge without killing myself and gulped down a cold glass of water.
"Couldn't sleep?" Dom asked scaring the shit out of me.
"Shit! Dom what the hell are you doing up?"
"I don't sleep much." he replied stepping in front of me.
"Yea I guess you have to much fun scaring the shit out of people." I teased getting a smile out of him.
"Leon sleeping?"
"Are you kidding me? He wouldn't know if a bomb blew up outside his room." I laughed it was true.
"So what do you do when your not sleeping or scaring people half to death?"
"Work out or go for a drive." he answered getting closer.
"Well I don't want to interrupt your work out so I'm going back to bed." I got up from leaning up against the counter when he pushed me back.
"Do you ever think about that night when we were alone?" he questioned his hands on both sides of me.
"Yes." I answered truthfully.
"So do I." Before I could get away, he captured my lips with his running his hands along the hem of my jersey that I had on. He lifted me so I was now sitting on the counter with him in between my legs. Kissing him back probably wasn't the best idea but that was the only one I could come up with while running my hands up his shirtless chest glistened with sweat. I wrapped them around his neck trying to pull him closer while his hands were tangled in my hair, ravishing my lips.
"Dominic." I moaned, "This is wrong. What if someone catches us?"
"Shhh…. No one will see us. Everyone's asleep, you taste so good baby." he cooed in my ear before attacking my neck making my back arch and moan louder.
"I can't resist you." I said breathlessly admitting it more to myself then to him.
"Then stop trying to." he smiled into my neck letting out a small chuckle.
"Dom? You in here?" it was Letty. He froze jumping off me walking to the living room where Letty was calling for him.
"Yea right hear." he answered her.
"I thought I heard something. You coming to bed?" she asked tugging on his pants.
"Yea I'm right behind you." he whispered following her upstairs without even a glace back.
A tear slipped from my eye, how could I be so stupid? I was giving myself to him like some cheap whore and he was taking it without me even knowing. Letty was my best friend and hear I am screwing around with her man not to mention that I was cheating on Leon. While he not so much as looked at another girl. What the hell is wrong with me? Why can't I get over Dom? Shit! I sat there missing the warmth that was there two minutes ago and cried. Something I haven't done since I was 10.
The next couple days I acted as though Dom didn't even exist. I hung out with Mia a lot more feeling guilty hanging out with Letty. Hopefully that would pass.
"When our we leaving?" I asked about race wars.
"Friday morning we'll be there sometime around 12. You racing?"
"Yep, can't wait never been to one of these things before."
"Oh it's a lot of fun you meet a lot of new people and race all day." Sounds like me, we laughed as I helped her wipe down tables.
"Are you riding with Brian?"
"Yea he's bringing the Supra."
"I'd hate to race that car, that's hell on wheels." she giggled you should of seen it when he first got it.
"Why?"
" He got it from a junkyard and he had to totally strip it and rebuild it."
"Sounds like fun."
"Oh it was a little to much."
I heard the rumble of engines before I saw them, of course the Rx-7 was out in front with the others behind it. I rolled my eyes looking for Leon.
"Hey girl." Letty said walking passed me
"Hey Lett."
"Looking for Leon so you can rape him again?" she playfully added making Mia blush.
"Oh shut up Lett at least I'm quiet about it. You just go up and start humping Dom's leg." I shot back smiling when I saw her face.
"Will you two cut it out I don't want to hear about …." Mia quit talking when the guys walked in.
"You don't want to hear about what?" V asked looking at her. Letty and I busted up laughing, while Mia walked away flushed.
"Go get 'em Mia." I screamed out making Letty laugh even harder.
"Did I miss something?" a confused Vince asked.
"You had to be there." I told him and he gave me a your-full-of-shit look.
"Letty started it, I finished it." I said in triumph holding my arms out.
"The hell you did." she said getting up going into a fighters stance.
"Oh yea? Come on bitch." I provoked her winking. Vince jumped in the middle while we pretended to swing at each other. He did his best to keep us at bay but I looked at her giving her a thumbs up and we tackled him.
"Got ya!" I yelled before I took off running with Letty right behind me. Vince was right behind us when I saw Leon coming over. I jumped on him causing us both to fall.
"Hey babe, sorry but V's after me so I was out of options." I smiled kissing him on the nose.
"What'd you do this time."
"Nothing that you wouldn't." I hear Letty scream telling me to run but I didn't have time.
"You look cute in dirt." I told Leon before I was ripped from his grasp from a very determined V. He grabbed my feet holding me upside down and throwing me on his back. I saw Letty run to Dom for protection.
"Trader!" I yelled "Vincent put me down." I harped using his full name.
"Not until I do this." and with that he held onto my legs and spun me until all the colors seemed to blend together.
"Vince I'm going to throw up!" with that said he dropped me. I sat on the ground my head still spinning.
"I'm going to kill you V." I spat
"How can you do that if you can barley walk let alone see sweetheart?" He laughed walking away to the store for a beer leaving me there. I laid back waiting for my head to calm down so I could start to plan my payback for V. I heard someone beside me, it was Leon.
"You look cute in dirt." he smirked shooting my words back at me while helping me up.
"Really?" I didn't wait for his answer.
I looked into his dark emerald green eyes just losing myself. Hooking my fingers in his belt loops I pulled him flush against me feeling his body heat rose from the contact. I gave him my best seductive smile, that's when I felt his eyes on me. They were burning into my back watching my every move. 'This one's for you Dominic.' I thought bringing my lips to Leon's. I caught his lower lip sucking on it for a little, his hands were under my tank slowly making their way further north. From my position I could see the team in the store and they weren't even paying attention to what was going on but Dom was. We were in clear view of everyone but I didn't care and neither did he so I let it continue.
"Don't stop." I cooed in his ear.
"Let's go somewhere more private." his voice was gruff as he took my hand leading me to his car. When I turned around I saw Dom looking at us from the store. There were all kinds of accusations in his eyes, jealousy was radiating off him in waves. If looks could kill I'd be dead, it's not like I'm his. I'm Leon's and he's Letty's why can't he just accept that? He knew where we were going, hell anybody would of if they saw the show. But didn't he do the same thing to me at the garage? So wasn't it fair that I returned the gesture? I saw hurt in his eyes, I felt bad ….almost.
No one's POV:
Friday finally arrived and everyone was up early packing for their 2 day stay at race wars. Well almost everyone Heather was still in bed worn out from the other nights strenuous activities between her and Leon. He practically had to drag her out of bed and threat her with putting her in the cold shower unless she didn't get ready.
They pulled out around 10am. Vince was picked to pull the trailer even though he wasn't thrilled about the idea. It was a beautiful sight to who ever laid eyes on it. 7 polished machines ripping through the streets, the best of the best. Mazda Rx-7, Nissan Maxima, Vw Jetta, Toyota Supra, Nissan 240sx, Lancer Evo 8, and a Nissan Skyline. A box of chocolates.
Getting there around 12 the heat was at its best. They set up waiting for it to cool off a little before they started racing. People and cars were everywhere, most just there for show. Letty, Heather and Mia had about enough of the guys so they went checking out the place. Of course as soon as they left the skanks swarmed and moved in. And as usually Vince and Jesse were loving it. They didn't care they'd kick their asses later. The three girls went over to check out the list to see who was racing. Heather looked at the list and her heart stopped dead. It was a simple name, but one she never wanted to see again. Mark Carra.
She shook her head Mark was a very common name and there are lots of people with the same last name. She calmed down by her reasoning telling herself that he wasn't here and wouldn't get her. She shook it off and left to go find V, she was ready for her rematch.
Heather walked back the trailer and found him in the same place he was before they left as well as the other guys.
"Come on V how bout that rematch you owe me?" she asked getting confused looks from the others.
"You're on girl 10 says I beat you." he wagered standing up grabbing his keys.
"20 says I beat you."
"More money for me." he teased.
"Do you know how many people have said that?" she got in her car and followed V to wait in line.
"I've got 50 that says Heather wins." Jesse said throwing the cash in the now mad pot.
"I don't know man they were talking about a rematch I'll have to go with V on this one." Brian reasoned throwing his money in next to Jessie's. Dom and Leon sat there undecided eager to see the outcome on this one.
It took about 10 minutes but it was finally there turn to race. The guy between the two cars dropped his hands and it began. This time V shot out first with Heather trailing him like a hawk. She wanted him to feel big and bad before she crushed him. He was about 2 car lengths in front of her doing about 150 in fourth gear. When it looked like he was going to win Heather pushed the accelerator to the floor and switched to fifth. Then hit both her NOS buttons getting the rush she wanted and the speed she needed to fly right passed V over the finish. They drove back to the trailer with Heather in all smiles.
"I believe you owe me something." she joked holding out her hand and was surprised when she felt the money in it.
"I was only playing but hell I'm hungry and I know you are come on I'll treat." she insisted by waving the money around and dancing around.
"Fine you goofball come on before you fall." he laughed at her face.
"That's one I haven't heard in awhile. Calling the kettle black are we Vincent." she deliberately said his whole first name knowing how he hated it.
"You better run cause if I catch you…." he didn't get to finish because she was already gone running for her life.
Letty and Mia found their way back to the guys who were lazily talking about this year's competition.
"Anyone race yet?" Letty asked.
"Yea Heather and V." Jess answered.
"Who won?" Mia wondered.
"Heather." Brian huffed because of losing his 50 bucks.
"And that's a bad thing?" Letty didn't understand.
"It is if you bet 50 bucks and lose." Jess held up 2 50s.
"Ouch, yea I guess it does." Letty agreed poking Mia in the side "Go cheer him up." she whispered making her blush. Mia gave her a dirty look and walked over to Brian making her crack up.
"So whose racing next?" they shrugged waiting for later.
"Wow that many? I better get in line." her was sarcasm obvious so she decided to get in her car and get in line since no one else was.
Around 3:30 the races started to pick up and everyone was in on them. By the time 8 rolled around they pulled in about 25 thousand. With the 6 of them in 4 and a ½ hours that wasn't bad at all. They stopped racing when it got dark for safety precautions and just had a big giant party. It was all kinds of wild and craziness but what could be more fun? Modified Cars, ice cold beers and hot guys what more could you ask for?
Music could be heard from everywhere making people even more nuts. If that was possible. Letty and Dom found themselves in the middle of all of it but seemed to be to lost in each other to notice. Letty loved how her and Dom's relationship was so much stronger. He wasn't cheating on her or even looking at the skanks anymore, just her. Like it should have been from day 1. She was pulled from her thoughts when she felt his lips on her skin. He picked her up carrying her to his bed. This was going to be another long night, Letty smirked she wouldn't have it any other way.
Mia and Brian were still drinking, making out, and dancing just enjoying each other as the world passed them by. Them two were like the perfect couple, never fighting, always going out and having fun. Most people were lucky enough to find someone then have all that. But they did and it showed.
Leon, V and Jesse were off doing God knows what probably drinking and checking out women minus Leon. When ever the three of them got together it was never a good outcome but hell can't be perfect all the time.
Heather was alone but didn't mind she was having a good time for once. She was a little tipsy but not flat out drunk although she was getting there. The music was what kept her going, she was dancing sometimes by herself but usually with other guys. It didn't mean anything but she wasn't sure how Leon would react so she stopped for a little while sitting on the hood of a car. She never noticed which one she sat on until she heard his voice.
"We meet again." Heather froze she knew that voice all to well. She couldn't believe it, Mark finally found her.
