When We Met
The moment I met Dominic Toretto I knew my life was going to change. The way he held himself. The way people were attracted to him. The way he was defensive but kind and always willing to let you in if he thought you were worth it. I knew. I knew I was going to be thrown into a world so adventurous and wicked that I couldn't help it and was whisked away.
We were at a race, I was fifteen and super into cars by now. I stood by looking at the crowd of people a spot where not a lot of people stood. I made my way over to the group and made my way towards the middle, behind the few guys that made the inner circle. There was a tall bald guy around the age of 22 that everyone was facing.
He looked like the big guy, the one who ran everything around here. A small smile crept on my face as I saw how he interacted with everyone. It was quite amazing how everyone just flocked to him and moved with him.
"Okay, this is how it is gonna go," He said loudly "It is a 2G buy in and Hector you are gonna hold the money."
Hector, I presumed, looked bummed like he wanted to race but took the money from the respective buyers anyway. I stepped forward moving around the people in the circle till I stood in the middle. Everyone looked at me and as I looked at him he raised an eyebrow at me questioning what I was doing.
"I want in" I said confidently looking him straight in the eyes. He laughed as if it was a joke and looked to the right of him where a man about his size stood in a wife beater as well only black. "I'm serious"
"You wanna race? Do you even know how to drive, kid?" The guy in the black wife beater said
"What you scared?" I replied tilting my head to the side condescendingly smirking a little.
"It's not me you should be worried about," He smirked "It's my boy Dom here"
He proceeded to slap Dom on his back. Dom was still looking at me in a contemplating way almost as if he couldn't believe what he was about to say.
"Where's your car?" He said walking forward looking down at her now.
"Right there" I turned around and pointed as the crowed dispersed and reviled my crappy looking, but well invested in Torino Cobra. He walked over to it looking at it for a second before looking at me with a look I can't explain.
"You are racing this?" He raised his eyebrows
"Yeah, well it not the car that matters, it's who is behind the wheel right?" I responded walking over. He smiled slightly
"So you ain't gonna show me what's under your hood?" He asked. I looked at my baby and then back at him.
"Nah, you'll have to wait till I kick your ass." I responded and I swear it was totally worth it to hear all the gasps of the people around us.
"What makes you so sure you will?" He asked
"Well, we are just gonna have to wait and see" I said holding up a roll of cash. "Aren't we?"
I handed the cash to Hector and made my way to my car. We lined up on the starting line and looked over at my opponents, Dom and two other guys. Dom had pulled up right next to my car and looked over to me.
"You ready?" He said looking stead
"Are you?" I asked looking back at him. He grinned gunning his engine more.
As soon as the coast was clear and there were no five-o's we were ready. Hector had his hand up and I shift my gear ready for it. His hands came down and I was off speeding fast down the way. Dom, however, was fast and just ahead of me.
I shifted again accelerated more gaining on him. We were neck and neck as he looked over at me. He grinned once more and then proceeded to shift his car so he was driving backwards right next to me. I laughed enjoy his attempt at trying to show off. He whipped his car back into the forward position.
This is the moment that changed the whole situation. Before I knew it Dom's front end hit the side of my car and I hit to breaks as my car veered to the left rolling over five times.
I was surprised and kinda pissed. I sat there for a minute to gather all that had just happened. I then undid my seat belt and climbed out of my car, which luckily had rolled the right way up, sitting outside of it on the ground. I held my wrist in the hand and saw huge deep marks in it. "Fuck," I said
Dom showed up then crouching down next to me. He grabbed my wrist from me and started to examine it. "Are you okay?"
"Well, besides the fact that you ruined my car and got me out of 6G's, yeah I'm just peachy." I said with a roll of my eyes.
"Yeah, I probably shouldn't have done that." He said running a hand over his head looking away.
"It was pretty sick though," I said looking at the look he had on his face. He looked back and met my eyes. I could see deep inside them again and couldn't help but smile.
"What's your name?" he said putting pressure on my wrist.
"Letty" I smiled through the pain
"Well Letty, looks like you are lucky that you didn't lose your arm" he stated keeping it elevated.
"Looks like it, I'll probably have a wicked scar though" I replied looking up at him. He really was handsome and I knew deep down where he kept it hidden. He was good. It showed in his eyes.
He smiled and helped me to my feet. The crowd around us started to disperse once they realized I was okay and went to stand around Dom's car. It had been totaled.
"Shit man, looks like you and me are out of a car." I said looking at him.
"Yeah, it won't take too much, kid don't worry." He said looking down at the wreckage.
"Hey, do I look like a kid to you?" I said my face going serious, eyes narrowing while I still held my wrist.
Dom laughed "Well you are certainly not 18 babe, so I'm guessing you're just a kid."
I kept my eyes narrowed and looked him straight in the eyes "I'm fifteen and I can handle myself just fine. Kid is not in my job description." He just smiled looking at me for a minute.
"Stop by my garage DT's early next week, I'll help you fix your car, you got heart I'll give ya that kid"
"Urg, are you just gonna keep calling me that?" I said exasperated. He just laughed and turn towards black wife beater guy.
"Hey Vince, this is Letty." Dom introduced
"Well, well, well a girl and you can drive, nice work baby" He said grabbing my hand shaking it slightly pulling me into the half hug shoulder tap guys do.
"Thanks," I smiled leaning in to meet him in the shoulder bump.
"Let me holla at you?" Vince said grinning.
Vince came closer and Dom said, "She's jailbait, V."
Vince looked at me "You 17, 17 or are you 17, 18" He grinned. I smiled sweetly and looked up at him.
"How about you back the fuck off before I cut your balls off?" I said getting up in his face. He looked utterly horrified and took a step back.
"Damn baby girl, you got some tongue, alright alright. Can't blame a man." Vince said backing down relaxing into a stance that screamed sex.
"I mean it V, stop being a prick no one wants that" I said rolling my eyes. He just laughed and left to find a skank that was interested.
"Come on," Dom said smiling "Let's go get that wrist fixed up"
