Chapter 7-

The rest of the week was spent settling in with the group. Laura loved her job and living with the team was great. Friday arrived and as they all sat around the garage on their lunch break Dom made a decision.

"So, you may not have a ride yet but I was thinking you should definitely come with us to races tonight… What do ya say?"

Laura had been waiting for this all week. All she had heard from the rest of the group was how great races were and that it gave you a real buzz, especially if the cops showed,

"Yeah, totally."

The rest of the team smiled and that was the subject dropped.

Laura seemed to spend most of each day working close with Leon, which was totally fine with her! Later on as they finished working on a Civic Leon started telling her how to 'watch herself' at the races. He seemed worried some guy would 'try something'. Laura smiled into herself, this was the Leon she had come to know, he always worried about her. Only the other day some guy had come into the garage and tried to hit on her. She politely refused the guys offer but he wouldn't take no for an answer. Leon ended up telling the guy to fuck off. That didn't go down well and they ended up rolling around the pavement. Dom had to pull Leon off the guy… it had been funny to watch.

"Its Ok Leon, I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself…"

Leon grinned at her, "Oh really…"

Their little flirt fest was interrupted by Dom telling them to hurry up and packed their shit away. Laura rode home with Leon, surprise surprise, and as soon as they got in Mia dragged her upstairs to get ready.

"But it's only half seven Mia, we have loadsa time to get ready!"

Mia looked at her with a shocked expression, "I'm telling ya girl, its never too early to get ready…"

Letty was pissing herself as Laura let herself be pulled up the stairs and into Mia's room.

Three hours later Laura and Mia walked downstairs and Laura had to giggle at the teams' expressions. Dom was trying hard not to laugh at Vince and Leon, whose mouths where nearly touching the floor. Laura had to admit both her and Mia looked good. It may have taken hours but she might even have passed as being pretty. Laura was wearing a black leather mini skirt, a red bikini top with a black net top over it and black boots. She looked a little like Letty…

"Holy shit…"Leon said as Laura stood beside him, "You look sexy girl."

She could feel her face burn with embarrassment as the whole team stared at her.

"Yeah, Mia can really work miracles…" Dom said as he smiled at her. Laura just rolled her eyes and laughed as Mia followed him out the door and hit him hard on his arm.

She had planned to turn up to races with Mia but before she could stop him Leon dragged her over to his car and opened the passenger door. Laura looked over to Mia and Mia just smiled and nodded She got into the yellow Skyline and Leon ran round to the drivers' side. As he got in Laura just stared at him, a knowing smile on her face.

"Your mine tonight sexy," he said as he winked at her.

The way there was spent in silence as Laura prepared herself for whatever was to come. Leon kept looking over at her and grinning. He seemed pretty happy at the fact she was in his car, about to arrive with him…

Laura was overwhelmed as they followed Dom in through a crowd of people, in between two warehouses. All she could hear was loud music and a lot of very excited people shouting and laughing. The cars that were parked along the sides where impressive. Leon stopped the car and she watched Dom get out of his car and immediately be surrounded by loads of fans. Letty stood on the sidelines, looking jealous as Dom put his arm around some random skank. Leon got out of the car and Laura took this as her que. As she steeped out of the skyline she noticed how many people were staring at her, questioning looks on their faces. She knew what they were thinking…

"Who's the new girl? How did she get in with the Torretos? Is she with Leon?

As if to answer the last question Leon came over and put his arm around her. He seemed proud as he led her over to Dom, who was busy talking with a Latino guy.

"Two G buy in, winner takes all." Dom said to three guys who were standing around him, "Hector keeps the money."

They all handed the Latino guy their money and headed to their cars. The rest of the crowd saw this as their time to do the same and the whole crowd split.

"Look out for her…" Dom said to Leon who nodded his head in return.

Leon took her back to his car and Laura couldn't help but feel confused. Why were they going somewhere else now? Why couldn't they race here? Leon looked at her confused expression and laughed,

"We're goin to another street, we can't race here, no room."

Laura just nodded and waited. Five minutes later they pulled up at the end of a small street that led onto a very long wide road. Leon blocked the entrance to the main road and switched on the monitor sitting on his dash,

"I wait till its all clear on the monitors and then they race. I hear any cops are headed this way then we split."

Laura nodded again, unable to speak. She could feel the adrenaline pumping through her as she saw the four cars line up on down the main street. The whole atmosphere was so amazing she could only watch in awe.

"When you get a ride of your own it'll be better," Leon said watching her intensely, "You can race yourself then, if you want to that is. And the buzz is unreal when you turned up in your own tuned up car. And we'll make yours really awesome…"

She smiled and realised how much she actually liked Leon. He must have been thinking the same thing because he leant towards her ready to kiss her…

"Leon, we all good dawg?" a voice shouted through the walkie-talkie.

Leon sat back and rolled his eyes as he spoke into the speaker, "Yeah dawg, we're good to go…"

Laura jumped out of the car and sat on the hood. She saw two girls spraying a line on the road, just in front of the four cars. Then another girl stood in the middle of the line, raised her arms and dropped them. The cars sped off. Dom was in first place, a Civic in second, a Skyline in third and a Supra in fourth. Laura watched as they sped past her and Dom finished the winner. It was all over so quickly and Laura turned and looked at Leon, trying to suppress the excitement she knew she was showing. Leon smiled at her, knowing full well how she felt. He remembered his first race, he had reacted exactly the same way.

Leons expression quickly turned to one of distress and he waved at her to get in the car,

"Shit, we got cops cops cops, lets move…" he shouted into the walkie-talkie and with that he sped off. Laura's heart was beating so fast and so hard she thought it would pop out of her chest. She watched as the rest of the crowd broke up and people rushed to their cars. She then noticed the first cop car turn a corner onto the street, closely followed by a hoard of others. Leon drove with precision, weaving in and out of traffic and losing two cop cars that were on his tail.

Twenty minutes later they pulled up outside the house and Laura had to slow her breathing down before Leon noticed and laughed at her. The whole experience had been so mind blowing and before she knew it she jumped over the handbrake, on top of Leon and kissed him. His hands ran down her sides and settled on her ass as she stopped for breath. She was breathing heavily and she could tell Leon was as turned on as she was. At that moment Dom, followed by a load of other cars, pulled up outside the house. As a crowd of people went inside and thumping music started up, Laura opened the drivers door and slid out, much to Leons disappointment. She laughed at his expression and even more when she looked south. She'd got him very excited…

"Too soon Leon," she said grinning," And not in your damn car."

She laughed as he nodded and sat there, not sure how to get out and go inside with a hard on. He decided to jumped out of the car run inside and upstairs into the bathroom. Laura laughed as she followed him inside and closed the door behind her. Were Leon and her now an item? She had no idea, but she knew for sure she'd have a hard time keeping herself from pouncing on him again!
