AN: I have not updated in a long, long while. But here ya go…short and sweet. R&R please
I walked into DT, and headed towards Dom who was on a crawler under a minivan. I pulled him out with my foot and looked at him. He looked up at me with a first exasperated expression before softening to a regular relaxed look.
"Hey Letty, how's the arm?" He asked sitting up and standing.
"It's okay I'll have a scar for sure." I laughed
"I bet it was pretty gnarly, sorry about that again." He said laughing too. "What brings ya here Letty?"
I leaned up against another car close and looked at him for a second. I finally worked up the courage to say it. "I wanna race."
He looked at me and smiled. "Is that right?" His voice deep and strong.
"Yes." I said straightening my posture "I wanna work on cars, I wanna drive cars. I wanna go to the races and drive."
"Look what happened last time." He replied turning the tool in his hand. The look on his face was one of amusement.
"If I recall, it was you that caused the crash not me." I retorted crossing my arms and leaning against another car across from him.
He looked at me for awhile just smiling, "you don't even have a driver's license, your only fifteen."
"So? a license is just a piece of plastic. My feet have been itching to touch the pedels since before I could reach."
He laughed and grabbed a rag close by wiping his hands "why is it so important to you?"
"I thought you of all people would understand…" I walked closer to him and looked up at his tall frame, "because there is nothing like the feel of an engine, there is nothing like those ten seconds of freedom, and there is nothing like knowing who you are when you drive that beast"
His face turned serious and thought provoking "you really wanna do this?"
"I'll even work for free" she said smiling "But I get the money I win from my races."
He looked at me for a moment face still serious, but eventually turning into a small smile "okay kid you gotta deal,"
"Great, then lets get to work on my baby" I smiled walking back outside towards my car.
"Oh no you don't we are gonna work on the customer's cars first kid and then you can work on your car after hours. This is a business." He said following me.
"oh yeah, what about this old dog." I said with maybe just a little bit of attitude while pointing at Vince under his hood. "Vincy here is workin on his ride."
Dominic bit his lip and pondered. "Help me finish this tune up and we can take a look at it."
I smiled and nodded. "It's a deal Toretto."
