Chapter 13
racing into the future
Letty got out her money, they were already starting the betting; she walked over confidence in every step, "I'm in," Letty said handing Edwin the money.
"Nice to see you racing again," Edwin said taking to money. "Anyone else in?" he asked as he looked around. "Alright then, let's go." Everyone got into their cars and drove to the spot. Letty took a deep breath to calm down, she was nervous she hadn't raced in over two years and she didn't know if she could win. She lined up her car with the other race cars at the starting line; she looked down the line, all guys, big surprise; she'd race against them before, but that was a while ago, a long while ago. She quickly crossed herself, she put in another CD, her usual race mix, Ja Rule's Life Ain't a Game came on. She relaxed and allowed herself to get into the music; Edwin let his hands fall and they shot away from the starting line; there was a guy in the lead, with another guy trailing him, Letty, then another guy bringing up the rear. Letty, refusing to lose, shifted into third moving into second place, the guy in the front pushed his NOS, and then she shot across the finish line, winning which of course she herself couldn't believe. She got out of her car and collected her money, engines were heard in the background; she turned around and spotted Team Toretto, she got into her car and rove off, no need of Mia to know she raced.
"Hey Dom," Letty said as she walked into his office.
"You're here early," Dominic said as he looked up.
"Um.listen Dom, I've been a little distant."
"A little, you're the north pole."
"Ha, ha! Look, you guys are my friends and I should be hanging with the team, you guys are my family."
"Yeah, we are."
"So, I'll be getting to work."
"Okay, go a head."
"I'm stripping."
"Huh?" Dom said as his head shot up.
"Men are such suckers," Letty said as she walked into the garage.
"We are not!"
"Uh huh, sure," Letty said getting her tools ready.
A few hours later.
"Mia, can I talk to you?" Dom asked as he walked into his office.
"What?" Mia asked as she leaned against the door frame.
"You promise you won't tell anyone?"
"Yeah, now what is it?"
"I want Letty to be my girlfriend."
"So, ask her."
"Mia! I can't just ask her, she just broke up with that Kala guy."
"So."
"Mia, ya gotta help me, come on, I'm your brother."
"Alright, I'll help you."
"Thanks, so what do I do?"
"Be her friend, no wonder men aren't considered geniuses."
"How?"
"We have movie nights, invite her over. We're watching a move tomorrow night."
"Right, and she did say she wanted to get back with the team." Dominic walked into the garage and over to the car Letty was working on; he pulled her out from under the car, "Hey Let."
"What?" Letty asked.
"We're having a movie night tomorrow and I wanted to know if you wanted to come."
"Sure, I've got nothing to do."
"Great, see ya at eight."
"Okay," Letty said sliding under the car.
