There's gotta be more to life Chapter 1

She walked into the middle of the road and placed her arms up in the air. She waited until she had the attention of all the racers at the starting line. Her arms went down fast as the four cars sped off quickly. She slowly turned to see them all battle for first. As she felt someone come up behind her, she turned to see Tej with a grin on his face.

"Looks like ya got ya self a new job princess." He said cockily.

Her face turned into a smile because only Tej could call her princess. "Looks like it boy." She turned back around to the race. She was wearing a black fishnet top with a red tank underneath it and a red mini skirt. Her dark brown hair was short and layered with bright red streaks.

"Hey Carmen when ya gonna give me some of that?" shouted a guy on the sidelines.

Carmen turned and glared at him. "When ya gonna lay off with the originals?" she smirked. "Stupid asshole" she muttered.  The race ended as the four men got out of their cars. Brian had won…of course. He stepped out of the car with his boyish grin and walked over to where Carmen was waiting. She handed him the money and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Congrats." Brain nodded and walked off to where Tej was and handed him some money. As Tej muttered shit about mutual respect, Carmen walked over to her black eclipse and pulled out. She always left before the cops could get a hold of her.

The next day Carmen walked out of her house with a pair of faded jeans and a Mamacita shirt. (Eddie Guerrero the WWE.) She drove over to the Diamond Cab taxi service, as she walked into the main building she ran into a co-worker, Kassie Reynolds.

"Hey Car! How are ya?"

"I'm good thanks, you?"

"Same…same. Listen I need to ask you a favor…"

Carmen rolled her eyes. "What is it now?"

"I was wondering if you would mind taking my shift today…see I have a doctor's appointment and I can't work today."

"Why…what's wrong?"

"Oh nothing. So will ya do it?"

"Will I get paid overtime?"

Kassie sighed and nodded. "Sure, I'll do it."

"YAY! Thank you!!!" she said as she hugged Carmen. Kassie walked off and out the door. Carmen sighed and grabbed the keys to her cab from behind the counter. She walked outside to the parking lot and went over to where her bright yellow cab was. She got in and drove off to look for people who needed her to drive them.

As she was driving down the downtown area she saw someone that she remembered from the races trying to get her to pick him up. She drove over and stopped for him to get in. As soon as he got into her cab she said, "Where to?"

"Tej's Garage." Carmen turned around to get a good look at him. He was African American with a nice body. She noticed that he had a McDonald's bag with him that looked full of food.

"What do ya want with Tej?"

"Why…you know him or somethin?"

"Hell yeah I know him. He's a friend."

The man made an 'oh' face. "I'm Rome and you are?"

"Carmen. So, again what do ya want with Tej."

"You must not know him very well cause he's also a friend of mine. Plus my engine fried and I need to get it fixed. That man has all the tools you'll ever need." Carmen laughed and nodded. She drove him to Tej's Garage and he paid his bill. She watched him be greeted by Tej, Brian, Jimmy, and Suki. She stepped on the gas and went to finish her day of driving. Who would've guessed that she was a racer by night and cab driver by day? She sighed as she got a call on her car phone.

"Hello? Yeah. What airport? Uh huh…yup…okay bye." She drove off to the airport to pick up a client. As she finally reached the airport she got out to help the man with his bags. He looked to be in his late 20s early 30s. He had brown hair and blue eyes, he had on a tux that gave off the impression he's rich. She put his luggage in the back and went sat in the drivers side.

"So what's your name?" she asked as soon as she sat in the driver's seat.

"Carter…Carter Verone."

Carmen choked and looked in the back seat. "Nice to see you too sis." He smirked.
