CHAPTER 7
The sounds of loud banging and blaring rock music were coming from the garage of Dominic Toretto.
A man walks into the garage, immediately spotting a small pair of feet adorned in black Converse's, under a faded gray, slightly beat-up Toyota Supra. The man smiles, walking over to the car and feet, softly chuckling when he hears a soft curse coming from under the car.
"Need a little help?" The man asks.
The man backs away a bit, as the person drags their feet on the ground to pull themself from under the car, revealing an asian woman wearing a red bandanna on her head with a few oil smudges underneath her right eye.
"Oh...Hey, Jesse." The woman replied.
"Hey Faith." Jesse replied, smiling at Faith.
"So...what's up?" Faith asks, grabbing a rag and wiping her hands on it.
"Nothing...thought I'd come and check on you." Jesse replied.
"Aw...how sweet. Thanks, Jesse." Faith replied.
"Hey...what are you listening to?" Jesse asked.
"You mean, WHO am I listening to...and I'm listening to the song "Hash Pipe", by Weezer." Faith replied, digging through the toolbox.
"Ah...interesting song..." Jesse commented, grinning at Faith.
Faith just smirked and shook her head; she felt totally calm and at ease even after the incident from last night.
'I wonder why I feel so...at ease with Jesse...' Faith thought to herself.
"Hey...where's Brian?" Jesse asked.
"Uh...I don't know...I think he went to do an errand." Faith replied.
The truth was, she knew EXACTLY where her brother was. He was having a meeting with his superiors and also the fed's. She decided to stay since all she would do is just zone out their conversation. Therefore, here she was, currently fixing his Toyota.
She looked up at Jesse after he went quiet for a few minutes.
"Jesse, are you ok?" Faith asked.
No reply.
"Hey, Jesse! Do you want to make out?" Faith asked.
"Huh? What?" Jesse asked in shock, snapping out of his reverie.
"Ha-ha...I said, are you ok?" Faith asked, smiling at Jesse teasingly.
Jesse blushed, before replying, "O-oh...I-I thought y-you-you said...never mind..."
"You know...the question still stands...if you're interested that is." Faith said.
"Are you...are you flirting with me?" Jesse asked in surprise.
"...maybe..." Faith trailed off, smirking at Jesse.
'What am I DOING?' Faith thought in surprise.
Jesse smirked back, slowly inching closer to Faith, millimeters away from her face. He slowly placed his hand on her cheek, gently caressing it with his thumb. The smudges under Faith's right eye started to vanish underneath Jesse's thumb as he rubbed over it. He slowly moved closer, his mouth inching closer to Faith's lips. Faith took a sharp intake of breath, feeling her breath hitch at her throat. She didn't think he would act this quickly on her suggestion. Her eyes slowly fluttered closed as she tried to close the gap between them.
"Ahem."
Both Faith and Jesse immediately pulled away from each other, leaving a few feet of space between them.
Jesse turned his head to see a smiling Mia and a smug-looking Leon.
"Hey guys...what you doing?" Mia asked innocently.
"N-nothing! We-we were just fixing Brian's car." Faith replied.
"Y-y-yeah! Wh-wha-what she said." Jesse replied, slightly flustered.
"Of course you guys were." Leon teased, smirking at the two.
Faith blushed and looked away while Jesse glared at Leon, inwardly cursing his friend. He was about to reply, but was cut off when Brian, Dom, and Letty appeared.
"Brian!" Faith called out.
"Hey Baby Girl. Staying outta trouble?" Brian asked, smirking.
Faith rolled her eyes, muttering something incoherently under her breath.
"Baby...girl?" Jesse asked.
"It's my nickname for her." Brian answered.
"Oh...cool." Jesse said.
"Baby Girl, eh? Suits ya." Leon smirked.
"Thanks. I think I got it when I was 6 or 7." Faith replied.
"Alright, then...let's get this thing finished?" Dom asked.
"Yeah, sure. I sorta started ahead." Faith noted.
"You guys want anything? I'm about to head off to the cafe." Mia said.
"Uh...you guys want anything?" Dom asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Mia nodded her head and left the garage, leaving everyone else to finish working on the Toyota Supra. Everyone separated into groups, Brian and Dom working on the car, while Faith, Jesse, Leon, and Letty worked on the engine.
While they were working, Faith would look up every now and then, checking up on her brother, and also secretly watching Jesse. Unbeknownst to her, Jesse was doing the same thing.
Leon looked up and gently nudged Letty, getting her attention.
"What?" Letty asked, slightly annoyed.
"Shh! Look." Leon whispered, pointing at the other two.
Letty followed Leon's finger and smirked upon seeing Faith and Jesse trying to send secret glances at one another.
Faith looked up when she saw Brian and Dom leave the garage.
"Ey! Where you going?" Faith asked.
"Don't worry. You'll see your brother come back in one piece." Dom called over his shoulder as they left.
"For some reason...that really doesn't make me feel any better." Faith muttered.
"Don't worry chica. Your brother will be fine." Letty assured Faith.
"I hope so..." Faith mumbled.
---------------
Faith looked at Mia warily, confused at what was going on. She eyed Letty from the corner of her eye. They were currently in Mia's room, Faith on top of the bed, while Letty was leaning against the dresser.
"Hey, Mia...what's up?" Faith asked, nervous.
"Nothing...why? What makes you think something's up?" Mia asked innocently.
"I don't know...I just...I just have this weird feeling that something's gonna happen...and I'm gonna be involved in it majorly." Faith replied.
"Don't worry! Nothing's gonna happen." Mia replied.
"Right..." Faith trailed off.
"What's wrong? Don't you trust me?" Mia asked.
"Yeah...I don't know...I mean...are you REALLY going on a date with my brother?" Faith asked.
"Why not? He's a nice guy, isn't he?" Mia asked.
"Yeah...it's just...seriously? Brian? I mean...there ARE other guys out there...right?" Faith asked.
"Ha-ha...relax. Don't worry about anything. Brian's in good hands...and...your brother's kinda cute." Mia smiled.
"Ok...eww." Faith commented.
"That's Mia for you. No taste in guys." Letty commented teasingly.
"Oh! Like picking my brother makes you an expert?" Mia asked.
"I'm dating him ain't I?" Letty asked, eyebrow quirked.
Faith just laughed, shaking her head.
"Whatever. Anyway...what about you and Jesse?" Mia asked innocently.
"What about Jesse? What about me and Jesse? HOW did this conversation end up about me and Jesse? What are you planning?" Faith asked warily.
"Nothing! Wow...paranoid much?" Mia asked.
"Sorry...old habit..." Faith replied sheepishly.
Mia just nodded her head, understanding what Faith meant.
"I know how you feel. I used to do that also...thanks to Dom of course." Mia said sarcastically.
All three girls laughed, before showing a few dresses to each other.
"So...how do I look?" Mia asked, dressed in a white, strapless sundress.
"You really want my opinion?" Faith asked, pointing at her clothes, which was Brian's garage shirt, loose denim jeans, and Converse hightops.
"Oh come on...don't tell me there was never a time when you used to be girly?" Mia asked.
"...Nope...grew up a tomboy..." Faith shrugged.
Mia just sighed, checking herself in the mirror once again.
"I can give you MY opinion...no." Letty replied honestly.
"Wear the black one." Faith softly suggested, gently feeling the material of the dress in her hands.
Mia turned, eyeing the dress in Faith's hand. She smiled, liking the dress.
"That looks good! Thanks, Faith!" Mia thanked, taking off the old dress and wearing the one that Faith suggested.
"It looks good." Faith muttered, eyeing Mia.
Mia watched Faith through the mirror, she couldn't help but notice how Faith seemed to look sad all of a sudden.
"What's wrong?" Mia asked.
"It's just...I never had many girl friends...I always hung out with my brother and dad. My mom was also into cars...school didn't help. Most of my friends were guys since I didn't get along well with any of the girls. I guess...once I turned into a grease monkey...I STAYED a grease monkey." Faith softly replied, playing with her fingers.
Mia and Letty looked at each other before looking back at the 18 year old tomboy.
"Hey chica. You ever wore a dress before?" Letty asked.
Faith looked up at Letty in shock.
"Um...no...why?" Faith asked.
"Well...you're brother probably ain't coming until later on...so...why don't we dress you up? You could probably fit into my clothes...I think I have a few dresses that might fit you." Letty suggested.
Faith's eyes widened in surprise.
"R-really?" Faith asked.
"Yeah! Letty won't let me dress her up, so...why not you?" Mia suggested.
"I don't know..." Faith trailed off.
"Trust us...you'll look fine!" Letty assured.
"Better than fine...we'll make sure that you'll look hot...for a certain Einstein." Mia teased.
Faith blushed, and gently bit her lower lip as a nervous habit.
"Yeah...besides...Jesse's free tonight. You guys could...oh...I don't know...go on a date and get to know each other more." Letty added.
"Uh...um...al-alright...I guess." Faith agreed.
Letty and Mia looked at each other, grinning widely, before looking back at a nervous, scared, and slightly pale Faith.
---------------
"Remember what I said Brian...break her heart and I'll break you're neck."
"Yeah...I know, Dom. Relax." Brian replied.
"MIA! He's here! Hurry up!" Dom yelled from the living room.
"Hold on!" Mia yelled from upstairs.
"Women..." Dom muttered.
-Upstairs-
"Ok...I called Jesse and told him to look nice, he said he'll be here in a few minutes. What about Faith?"
"She ain't coming out of the bathroom."
Mia rolled her eyes and banged on the bathroom door.
"Faith! Come on! I'm about to leave and Jesse's gonna arrive soon!" Mia yelled.
"No! I look...FAT!" Faith yelled.
"She did NOT just play the "I look fat" card." Letty said.
"If you don't come out, Dom might come up here and find a way to open the door." Mia said.
Mia and Letty waited for a few seconds, before hearing Faith's groan of defeat. They stood back a few feet away from the door when they heard it unlock, and slowly open. Their jaws dropped in awe and shock as Faith walked out of the bathroom. She was wearing a simple, yet beautiful and sexy black/red, halter dress with an empress waist, that stopped below above the knees; and black, peep toe, 2 in. strappy stiletto heels. Her hair was down, and slightly curled at the bottom. No make up was on her face, since she would just wash it off later on. To sum it all up, Mia and Letty thought that she looked amazing.
"Damn!" Mia and Letty said at the same time.
Faith blushed and gave a shy smile.
"Amelia Maria Toretto! Get your ass down here...NOW!" Dom yelled from downstairs.
Mia winced, forgetting about Dom and Brian. She looked at the other two girls and nodded her head. She grabbed Faith's hand, while Letty grabbed the other hand.
"What are you doing?" Faith asked.
"Making sure you don't run away." Mia said, walking down the hallway, stopping at the stairs.
"How am I supposed to run? I'm in HEELS...if you haven't noticed." Faith said.
Both girls released Faith's hands.
"Just making sure. Always to be safe than sorry." Mia replied.
All three girls slowly walked down the stairs, Letty taking the lead, followed by Mia, and Faith taking the end. Once they arrived to the bottom of the stairs, they headed to the living room, where Faith hid behind the wall where no one would see her. Mia walked over to Brian, smiling at him.
"Wow Mia...you look...beautiful." Brian commented in amazement.
"Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." Mia replied.
"Are you ready to leave?" Brian asked.
Mia nodded her head, ready to leave, until she remember one more thing.
"Wait...where's Faith?" Mia asked, looking around.
"Behind the wall." Letty smirked.
"Faith? What's wrong? Come here!" Brian called out.
Faith took a huge breath before entering the living room.
Brian and Dom dropped the jaws in surprise. Dom gave a low whistle while Brian kept staring in shock.
"Damn...let me guess...Letty's dress?" Dom asked.
Faith nodded her head, slightly blushing. She looked at Brian, worried about his opinion.
"Brian?" Faith asked softly.
"Yo-you...you look beautiful, Baby Girl." Brian finally replied, giving a soft and genuine smile at his little sister.
Faith gave a sigh of relief and hugged her brother.
"Wait...why are you dressed up?" Brian asked.
"Um...I have a date..." Faith replied.
"With who?!" Brian asked in shock.
"Um...Jesse." Faith whispered.
Brian stood there and looked at his little sister in astonishment. Mia gently tugged at Brian's arm, trying to get him to leave.
"Come on Brian. We should leave now! Tables fill up pretty quickly." Mia said.
"Uh...right...Dom?" Brian looked at Dom.
"Don't worry...I got it." Dom answered.
Brian gave a small nervous smirk and walked out the door with Mia.
Faith silently gulped, softly sighing. She looked up, seeing Dom and Letty looking at her with a knowing look.
"What?" Faith asked.
"Mad scientist, huh? He's a nice boy." Dom said, sitting on the couch, and pulling Letty down on top of his lap.
"Y-yeah...it was a little unplanned...all Mia...I thought this was just...dress-up." Faith replied.
"Nervous?" Letty asked, giving a small knowing smile.
Faith opened her mouth, ready to give a reply. Before she could speak, however, there was a knocking at the door followed by the sound of the doorbell.
"Now I am." Faith whispered.
