The Fast and the Furious: Redline

Chapter Two
Toretto's

Taylor killed the engine of her car and drummed her fingers nervously on the steering wheel. She was sitting outside Toretto's wondering why the hell she had even bothered coming. She had known the guy only a couple of hours, and she was about to go to his place. She ran a hand through her hair and reached for the handle of the door.

Slowly, she walked into the small café. The place was deserted. There was only one car parked outside, a red Mazda RX-7. Taylor had been eyeing the beauty as she walked in. She took a seat at the bar and looked around for someone. When she found no one, she found herself wondering about the owner of the gorgeous car.

Taylor was awakened from her daydream when she heard a noise coming from the back. She glanced up just in time to see a tall dark man walking towards her. He round the counter and stood a coupled of feet in front of her.

"What can I do for you?" he asked. His voice was deep, deeper than Leon's and more appealing.

"Uh…"she said, stuttering to find the right words. Suddenly she was having a problem speaking. She stuck her hands in her back pocket and cleared her throat. Taylor looked up to see the man with a small smirk spreading across his face.

"I'm looking for Leon," she said finally.

The smile on his face faltered, but eventually became bigger.

"I remember you," he said, breaking the awkward silence. "You were at the party last night, weren't you?"

"Yeah, but I can't say that I remember you. I'm sure that I would," she replied.

His smiled widened.

"Oh really. How's that?"

Taylor felt her cheeks become red.

"Well, you're just so tall and…big…and…"

"And?" he pursued.

"And…well you're just tall," she replied, knowing the word she really meant was hot.

"That I am. My name is Dominic Toretto, but call me Dom."

He extended his hand out to her.

"I'm Taylor," she said as she shook his hand. "Taylor Vaughn."

"Nice to meet you," he said retracting his hand after she let go. "However, it would have been nice to know your name when I first met you…after what you did and all."

Taylor felt her heart stop beating. Panic flowed throughout her body. What did I do?

"What are you talking about?" she asked, laughing slightly.

"You don't remember?"

Taylor tried to search her brain for any recollection of the previous night's events, but she kept getting distracted. It's that damn smile, she thought.

"Can't say that I do," she replied anxiously.

"Well…" he started, but was interrupted by the noise of a car driving up. "There's Leon."

Taylor glanced up and saw a yellow Nissan Skyline pulling up. She turned back to Dom.

"Oh no, you don't get off that easily. You're going to tell me what happened."

"I am?"

"Yes, you are."

"Get Leon to tell you," Dom said with a smile.

"No! I mean, no, I want to hear it from you."

"Hear what from Dom?" Leon asked as he walked up behind Taylor.
