Once I got back to Brian's I said my hellos and was off to go take a shower. I got dressed into a pair of black cargo pants that were slung low on my hips. I then pulled on a pink tank top and put on a tiny bit of make up. I pulled my hair into a bun, what else could I do with it, damn Miami humidity. I pulled my small messenger bag over my head and on my shoulder. I then made my way to the living room where everyone was.

"Monica you ready to go?" I asked once people noticed I was in the room.

"Sure, lets get outta here." She replied standing.

"Ohh guys, I ran into Tej while I was running. He said he would try and get me set up with a race. Help him, please. Hell you can even tell people who I am. Spread the word the DT's little girl is here to claim some turf." I told them this with a smirk and then walked out of the room with Monica in tow.

"So, where we headed to first?" Monica questioned me.

"I'm not sure, Jesse said there was a Jeep store here?"

"Yep go tight here and it's about 10 blocks down."

We were stopped at a light when a nice looking Honda Civic pulled up next to us.

"Hey ladies." The passenger said noticing us checking out the car.

"What you running?" I was almost for sure it was stock, maybe a few upgrades, but by the sound of the engine when he revved it I was almost certain it was stock.

"Pure stock baby." He replied smiling with a wink.

I looked over at Monica smirking I asked, "Wanna have some fun?"

"Sure,"

"So fella's you wanna race?" was that too blunt? Maybe I was acting a little to sure of my self.

"Race what? That beast of yours cant beat this."

"500 says it can."

"Your on, green we go. 4 stop lights down there is a 7-11 meet you there."

The light turned green and we were off, there really wasn't any reason to gun it, but I wanted to see how it would run. This was a really easy win. I have a supped up V8 and he would be lucky to have a stock 6 cylinder. I pulled into the 7-11 and got out waiting for them.

"Well boys I do believe you owe me some cash." I smirked, as they got out of the car with their mouths hanging open.

"The names Darnel, this is Kevin, and you are?" The driver said holding out his hand to me.

"Kira, this is Monica." I said taking the out stretched hand and pointing to Monica with my other hand.

"I gotta hand it to you, for looking so young you're a damn good racer." He said while handing me my money.

"I guess it's from having a father with the best street racing team." So what if I'm proud of my dad. It may be illegal, but one hell of a life.

"I ain't ever seen you around, either your new or your daddy keeps you locked up."

"L.A. Thanks for the run, I now know what needs tuned and tweaked for tonight."

"When am I going to see you again?"

"If your anyone in the street racing world you'll know where to be tonight, Tej is going to set her up a race." Monica answered before I could. "Now if you boys will excuse us we have some shopping to do."

Shortly after that we arrived at what I determined to be the best damn store in the world. I got all kinds of clothes there; I know that sounds funny to buy a bunch of Jeep clothing but they are awesome and what can I say I am obsessed.

I got cargo pants, tight pants, low riders and flairs. The best thing of all was when I took in a few pictures of my Jeep from my 4-wheeling trip and they customized all of my shirts. I got 10 pairs of pants, 20 different shirts and 4 pairs of shoes. Ohh and some hair ties and hats for the guys. 750 later and we were on our way to the mall.

"Damn girl you sure you need to shop any more?" Monica questioned while laughing.

"Yes, when do you ever go on a shopping trip and spend less then 2 grand? Plus this just happens to be my dad's credit car." I told her smiling. I noticed when I mentioned my dad she stiffened a little. I let it go, if she wanted me to know she would tell me.

"You're right, let's get to some stores I might like to buy something in."

With that we went into the mall. After grabbing us some drinks we were on our way to spend more money. 1st stop Victoria Secrets.

"Ohh let's go in here, I need some more lotions and stuff, then I need to find some bra's and underwear that will go under my uniform.

"Let's do this." Monica told me with an evil smirk.

560 later for me and 350 for her and we were set with smelly stuff for a while. I picked up some things for Aunt Letty and Aunt Mia also.

We made our way to Old Navy next. There were some jeans and shirts that I bought 2 of because I knew Aunt Letty would love them as well. I picked out some skirts for Aunt Mia and went to pay.

"That will be 260. " The cashier said politely.

"Here you go." I smiled handing her the credit card.

She ran the card, I wasn't really paying attention me and Monica was talking about where we were going next.

"I'm sorry ma'am but your card was declined. I tried to run it twice."

"But it's limit less, let me make a few phone calls, I'm sorry. Can you please keep this stuff here I will be back for it. Actually you know what. I'll just pay cash for it." I then handed her 300.

"Here you go. Have a good day."

We walked out of the store. I was kind of embarrassed. This has happened before; I called the credit card company.

"The account has been frozen due to major activity on it out of the normal spending area." The lady one the phone told me.

"Ok. Can I verify them and get the account unfrozen?"

"I wish I could do that for you, but I am going to need to get the account holder to call in."

"Dominic Torreto?"

"Yes, he is going to have to call in and take care of this matter, I'm sorry."

Shit, all right. I'll have him call. Thanks." I hung up getting ready to face my fait.

"My dad is going to have my ass, they froze the account and he is going to have to call in." I told Monica while dialing my dads cell.

"Hello?"

"Hey Aunt Letty how ya feelin?"

"Better since you told your dad to make me go in. How are you doing?"

"I'll be dead when I talk with Dad. Is he there?"

"What'd you do this time?"

"Went shopping, spent lots and they froze the account."

"Damn glad it's you and not me. You are lucky that he hasn't gone out to get the stock for the shop. If he would have been out and tried to use the account he would have came and kicked your ass personally."

"Thanks, make me feel so much better."

"Like I said glad it's you and not me. Here he is."

"Gee thanks."

"Hello?"

"Hey Papi, how are things there?"

"What did you do or what do you want?"

"What I can't call and see how you are doing?"

"Sure you can, but you normally only call me Papi when you want something, so spill."

"Fine I went shopping and they froze the account do to large purchases out side of LA. And I need you to call and get them to unfreeze it.

"What the fucking hell, Kira. I let you go on this trip to get away for a while, and to help Jesse, yet you go and pull shit like this. You have that card for emergencies. You know I have other card for you to shop on." he was pissed.

"Sorry, I don't have the other one. I left it for Aunt Letty; you know this is so like you. Everyone else can do what ever in they want and spend when they want, but I go shopping like this and it's wrong."

"What am I going to have to do to get the account unfrozen?"

"They are going to ask you to verify what was spent, so the first purchase was at Jeep unlimited for 750 then I spent 560 at Victoria Secrets and I just tried 250 at Old Navy."

"You found some one like Letty to go shopping with I see."

"Yes, Monica is a blast. Can you please get this taken care of for me so I can finish shopping? Please Papi, please."

"You just spent over 1300 dollars and you want me to let you spend more?"

"Papi, please, it's not like I cant pay you back and it's not everyday a girl gets to go shopping in Miami."

"Fine, hold on." Ohh was he pissed, I decided to leave out the fact that I was going to race tonight, he would for sure be on a plane to come get my ass then.

He called the credit card company on the Garage phone and got everything taken care of. While he was doing this, he placed me on hold.

"All right sweetheart it's all taken care of, go have fun shopping, just know your ass is going to have to pull your own at the garage when you get back."

"Letty bitch you out while you put me on hold?"

"How'd you guess?" I could tell the smirk on his face.

"Cause your tone speaks pissed as hell, but your words are nice sweet loving father."

"You know where I am coming from. Be good and don't get into too much trouble."

"Thanks Papi, I love you." I smiled, no matter how pissed with me he was, I was always his baby.

"Love you to Mija." We hung up and I turned to see Monica smiling at me.

"It's all taken care of." With that we made our way to a store called steps. This was Monica's idea.

"You shop here often?" I questioned her as we started to walk towards the store.

"Most of mine and Suki's clothes come from here. Trust me you'll like it." with that we walked into the store.

The store was pretty cool. It consisted mainly of clubbin clothes. Things I wouldn't be allowed out of the house in even if I were 30. I found a few belts to go with my new cloths. I didn't want Monica to feel like I didn't like the store.

When we were all said and done I was out 3 grand and Monica about 1500. Some of mine were for Aunt Letty and Aunt Mia though.

We were out in my jeep about ready to leave when my cell started to ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey baby, where you at?"

"Jesse hey, we are about 15 minutes away from the garage why what's up?"

"Well your race is a go, you can possibly even do 2, but you need to get your pretty little ass here so I can work on that beast of yours." I squealed at this, I was going to get to make a name for my self here in the racing world with out my father being the center of it all. Back home I would race and win and my dad would get all of the attention. Here it was all me.

"1st off J.W. ain't a beast, he's a lean, mean, racing machine and what's this about me having a pretty little ass?" I loved messing with Jesse like this. I knew this would make him turn red.

"Umm, yeah we ain't going there, that's not something for you to worry about right now. Just get you ass here soon sweetness." With that he hung up on me. I knew he was blushing and couldn't handle me saying anything else to make him worse.

"Monica guess what." I said smiling at here.

"What?"

"I am racing tonight, possibly twice."

"Sweet," She said smiling at me.

We arrived at the garage to all the guys working on cars. Jesse fit right in with them. Then again Jesse can fit in anywhere there is work to be done on a car.

"Hey Jesse I'm back. Ohh and I got you something." Walking into the garage I yelled out to him while holding up a bag.

"What's this?"

"Just open it." He did and he was smirking.

"This is great, how?" He was speechless. HE held up the shirt for all to see. It had a close up of my Jeep teetering on a cliff. The reason why I got this one done for him was because of the inscription you could see was on my right front fender flair.

Designed and made possible by Jesse Blake for my Kira."

"Glade you like it. Think you have time to do an alignment? J.W.'s pulling to the left.

"Sure notice anything else?"

"Yeah when I hit 5th he's dogging like a bitch." He was smirking at this. I was 4 when I first heard this out of his mouth. Aunt Letty had slapped him up side the head for it, but I have used it ever since. He knew just what to do when I told him this.

"You are the poster girl for being a lady." Roman said chuckling from under a Toyota Celica.

"Kiss my ass."

"Don't mind if I do." He said while sliding out from under the car and coming towards me.

"Roman back off. While here dad isn't here to protect her I am."

"Ohh how sweet, Brian to the rescue. Thanks for the offer but I can have his ass pinned face down and in cuffs in 5 seconds flat."

"Sure you can sweetheart sure you can."

"Is that a challenge Roman?" I said this accenting his name clearly telling him I would do it.

"You ain't got cuffs, skills or the ability." I don't know why but this hurt, this hurt do bad I had to run out of there. I don't know why in the hell I let his comment get to me but I was in tears. I just kept running. This was a weak show of emotions I know but there was no way in hell I was going to cry like this in front of people I don't know.

"Go away." I knew some one was following me and I didn't want to deal with them right now.

"KT I'm sorry. That didn't come out the way I meant it to. I wanted it to sound joking and as a challenge. I'm sorry."

I don't know why but I stopped in my tracks. There was so much I wanted to say. I wanted to yell at him, but nothing would come out. I turned around to make him feel worse. I was crying hard, tears poured down my face.

"Please don't cry. I am so sorry. I feel so much like an ass. KT please, I don't know what to do." He had pulled me into his arms and was leaning up against a wall by this time.

"You're doing it. I have no fucking clue why I reacted like that. I looked up to you in a crush kind of way and then you crushed me by saying I cant do something I can."

"Crush?"

"When you told me I looked good, it made me feel. Sure Uncle Jesse, Vince and Leon tell me that. Aunt Mia and Aunt Letty tell me that and even my dad tells me that I am beautiful, but to hear it from a good looking guy made my heart melt."

"Damn I feel more like an ass then ever before."

"Good, now lets get back to the garage so Jesse can pull JW in. Then you owe me some lunch and a drive in your car. Ohh and when I say drive I mean I get to drive it."

"Ain't no way in hell, I will take you to lunch, but no one drive's my car,"

"I'm not no one, and you proved you can't say no to me, so quite while you're a head."

"Fine," With that we were on our way walking the 10 blocks I made him chase me. He has his arm casually slung on my shoulder and I was in heaven.

"Here's a question?"

"Yeah?"

"How is it you came for me and not Jesse?"

"He told me that you don't cry over shit and if I didn't go make it right he was going to kick my ass and then call your dad."

"And that scared you?"

"No, I was going to come anyways, but this way I had an excuses to hopefully keep you from kicking my ass your self. Truth of the matter I knew you could and I wanted to be under you."

"Smooth boy, real smooth. Maybe some day soon, just maybe." I smirked teasing him by pushing my hand up the back of his shirt.
