The Fast and Furious

Chapter 2

About 2 weeks past since oh hell broke loose at the race yard. I haven't been back nor has Brian. But he can't anyways since he has no car. It was Friday afternoon. I only had 3 deliveries so Harry let me leave early. When I got out to my car, I had a flat. Ugh what else can go wrong with me today. I went back inside and asked Harry where that shop was at. Luckily it was about a mile down the road from work. It was called Toretto's garage.

So I carefully drove down the road to the garage. Hopefully Dom isn't there. I kinda don't wanna see him. I mean he's okay, its just me. I think I'm starting to fall for him. I mean he could have beat my ass in the race and he didn't have to give me half of his cut either. Nor did he have to help me up from tripping myself, to get me to my car. But he did help my brother when he was trouble even though he owes him a car now.

When I pulled up, I pulled partly inside and got out. I didn't see Dom's car out front so maybe he wasn't here. Or so I thought.

I walked further in and found someone under a car working.

"Excuse me, I need help airing up my tire. Or getting a new one." I had called out to the guy under the car.

The guy rolled out from under the car and it was no other than Dom. My eyes got big and I went to turn around until he got up and grabbed my hand.

"Hey," he said as he grabbed me. "I was wondering when I would have seen you."

"Yea, sorry. I've just been busy working. Trying to get money since Brian f****d up a few weeks ago. We was expecting for him to win the big race." I said.

"Oh, well sorry. He now owes me a new car. A 10 second car."

"Look, I'll get you your car can you just help me with my tire." I said kinda rudely.

"Yea. And I can do that cleaning for you on the house too." He said.

"No, I just want the tire. I'm super tired." I told him. "I just wanna go home and relax."

"Okay." He said.

Why am I being such a b***h. I know I'm tired but I kinda wanna stay here longer with him. f**k it.

"Just do what you gonna do." I told him which brought a huge smile on his face.

"Alrighty then. It will be about a couple hours. How about you go lay in my car and I'll come get you when I'm done." He told me as he threw me this keys.

"I didn't see your car?" I said.

"I'm not driving her today. I'm driving," he says as we walked out the garage door. "I'm driving him today." He says as he pointed towards a Dodge Camaro.

I nodded and walked over to his car and unlocked it. I started the car up to turn on the air and got in the back seat.

I was in there for about half an hour to an hour until Dom came to the car and tap on the window and open the driver side door and got in. I rose up from the back and looked at him.

"Hey," I said. "So she all done?" I asked.

"Yea, I got her all clean. Your gonna need to get breaks for her soon though." He told me.

"Ugh, f**k me." I said as I climb out of the back seat to get in the front. "I don't even have the money to get breaks. I was kinda glad your brought up a cleaning for her. My brother brought I would need an oil change soon."

"What happened to all your winnings from the races?" He asked me.

"I haven't been back since the police rad. And the money I had made I paid my rent. Brian and I were behind a few months." I told him.

"Oh," he said as he looked down at his hands. "What does Brian do for work?"

This is where I had to lie to Dom. No one was suppose to know what he does. They just know that he goes out of town for business.

Only I knew about him being a FBI Agent. He was an under cover one that is always trying to find the people that brings in s**t that isn't even supposed to be in the states.

"He's always going out of town for his business. I don't even know what he does." I lied. "He gives me money when I need it when I ask him when he's home. But there's times he's gone for days at a time." I said as I looked at him.

I didn't like lying to anyone it makes me feel like I'm weak and I ain't. I can take care of myself.

"Well since you got her all clean, Ima go." I said as I opened up the door to get out.

Dom turned off his car. I was half way to the garage when Dom ran and grabbed my arm.

"Hey, why don't you come by the garage and I'm do them for you. I'll buy the breaks and you can just pay me back by going out for dinner sometime." Dom was telling me.

I stopped and turned to look at him. Did he just ask me out? Oh, lord. I'm gonna have more problems with Letty now.

"Look Dom, I'm greatful for you to do that for me. But I don't want any problems with Letty. And I hardly know you." I had told him.

"Look there is nothing going on with Letty and I. And will never happened. Shes just a good friend and me and the gang saved her life when she was younger, so she stayed with us. She just has a crush on me that's all." He told me. "I'll buy the parts tomorrow morning from Harry's and you come by the shop around noon. Where that can leave me enough time to go home, take shower, and we can meet at this nice restaurant off of 1st and kiln st."

He was really sweet and kind to do this for me so I should go ahead and go with it.

I looked back at the garage then at him and nodded. His face lite up like Christmas morning. Showing off a big whitey teeth smile.

The next day, Saturday. The most crazy day of the week here in Los Angeles. Not because is a weekend but its races all day long at the race yard and there's cookouts. Sunday's are even worst, that's either football, baseball, or basketball and the cookouts. Everyone was always doing cookouts on the weekends even if they pick one day or the other or even both.

Brian was home, he was in the kitchen going over something. I walked in from the bedroom to get some food.

"Hey, ever find that 10 second car for Dom?" I asked. "He asked me yesterday when he changed my tire and done my free clean out."

"Yes, I think I have. I've been looking all over for a nice car for him." Brian said then looked up. "Well don't you look nice?"

"Thanks."

I was wearing a nice purple and black sun dress with my black pumps. I was trying to look cute for Dom.

"What's this for? Got a date with someone?" He asked me.

"Well yes and no. Dom is changing my breaks and my p*****t is to go on a dinner date with him." I said as I grabbed a bagel.

"Wait what?"

"Since I don't have the money to buy my breaks, Dom is buying them and changing them for me. And he said all I have to pay him for was dinner, which he's paying for." I said.

"Umm, okay. Just be careful, Elena."

"Brian, I'll be fine. I haven't had a real date since high school or when mom," I started to say then stopped.

Brian came over to me and put his hands on my shoulders. He kissed my forehead then hugged me.

I was the worst of me and him when mom died. Just like when our father had left us, he took it hard, but I took it harder. But mom was more the hardest to talk about though.

As I shook my head, I looked to see what time it was. It was almost noon, so I grabbed my keys and walked out to my car. I drove down to the shop and pulled in.

All the gang was there. I was a little nervous about all of this. When I pulled up, I overheard Mia yell my name when I turned off my car.

"Elena!" She called out as she sat down her notepad and ran over to me.

I got out of the car and smiled at her when she came up to me.

"Wow, look at you." Mia said as Dom rolled out from under a car and sat up to look at me. I started to blush when he looked over at me. "So who is he?" She asked.

"How do you know its a he?" I asked.

"Why else would you dress like this for?" Mia asked as Dom walked over towards us.

"Hey," I said as I moved some of my hair behind my ear. "thanks for doing this Dom."

"Your welcome." Dom said. "You look nice."

I blushed again. "Thanks. I know its a little early to be all dressed up like this, when our date isn't even til tonight." I had said making Mia look back and forth between me and her brother.

"What! No, you two are going out on a date?" Mia asked us.

"Mia, I'm changing her breaks for her for free. I just offered her to go out to dinner with me afterwards." Dom said.

I was still smiling and blushing away until I heard some loud noise coming from the back. The tool box was on the ground and Letty was storming off, out the side door.

Well then, she is totally pissed off that Dom is taking me out on a date and not her. Jealous much.

"Well good, I wanna see my big brother out there away." Mia said.

"What about you Mia? When you gonna get out there and find someone?" I had asked as I handed Dom my keys.

"I don't know. I'm waiting for the one to just come into my life be all kind and sweet and then ask me out." She told me.

We walked towards the office area and sat down and talk, laughed about every little thing we could think of. Letty came back a few hours later and started working on a car that pulled up. Dom was about done with everything when my brother had showed up. With a tow truck.

"Yo, Dom. Buster is here for yea." Vince had called out.

Dom got out from under my car. He looked at me for a moment then towards my brother. I got up and walked towards the tow truck where my brother was getting out of, when Dom came over whipping off his face.

"What do you got there?" Dom asked.

"This is your car." Brian told him.

"My car? I said a 10-second car, not a 10-minute car." Dom had said.

"You could push this across the finish line, or tow it." Jesse said hitting it.

All of us were laughing at that.

"You couldn't even tow that across the finish line." Dom said while we were all laughing.

"No faith." Brian said as he pointed to Dom and I.

"I have faith in you, but this isn't a junkyard. This is a garage." Dom said.

"Pop the hood." Brian said.

"Pop the hood?" Dom asked.

"Pop the hood." Brian repeated.

Brian lowered the car off the tow truck into the garage so they could look at it.

"2JZ engine. No shit." Jesse had said after he popped the hood.

"And what did I tell you?" Brian had said.

"I retract my previous statement." Dom said making me laugh a little. He looked at me and grin a little.

"You know what? This will decimate all after you put about $15,000 in it. Or more, if we have to overnight parts from Japan." Jesse had said.

"We'll put it on my tab at Harry's." Dom said looking at me with that please cuteness smile. I just nodded.

"Yes!" Jesse yelled out.

I shook my head at him. It was like giving a baby their first piece of candy or something.

"I gotta get you racing again so I can make some money off your ass. There's a show down in the desert called Race Wars. That's where you'll do it." Dom told him. "When your not working with whatever or wherever your working at, your here. If you can't find a tool here you don't need to be around this car." Dom said exiting the garage.



"Where you going?" Brian asked Dom.

"I have to go get cleaned up for my date with your sister." Dom told him as he pointed at me.

I started blushing after that. Mia nudged me making me blush even more. Brian looked at me for a moment then at Mia. Then walked over.

"Elena, like I said." Brian started to say.

"Brian, I'll be fine." I told him. "Mia this is my brother I've told you about. Maybe y'all should start knowing each other now since he's gonna be here a lot." I told her.

"Elena," Mia started to said then Dom called my name.

"Elena, come ride with me to the house since your brother blocked your car." Dom said as he came back to the opening of the garage.

I smiled at Brian and Mia then waved and ran over to Dom. Dom and I walked to his car. When we got there, he opened up my side to let me in. Then ran over to his side. Once we got in he started up his car and we drove to his house so he could take a shower.

When we got to his house, it was nice. It looked a little like mine and Brian's but bigger. When he pulled into the drive, he opened my side again and let me out. We walked towards the back door and he ran up the stairs. Some reason I followed him.

I walked into his bedroom after he opened the door.

"Don't mind the mess, I'm sorry I haven't had time to clean." Dom said as he tried to pick up what he could.

"Naw, it's fine." I said as I sat on his bed.

"Okay, then. Give me about 10 minutes and then we can go." Dom said as he walked out of his room to the bathroom.

I got up from his bed and walked around his room to look at all the stuff he had hung up. It was nice, at least it was homey.

I found a few magazines that he had on his dresser, grabbed them and sat back on his bed. As I was about halfway through it, Dom came out in his towel and went to his dresser. I lowered the magazine a little to stare at him. I started blushing a little. I bit my lower lip so I wouldn't start giggling like a little school girl. I looked up a little more and saw he was looking at me through the mirror.

'f**k' I thought to myself. I lowered my eyes back down to the magazine, but before I did, I saw Dom smile a little bit.

"Like what you saw of my back." Dom had said as he slid on some boxers then his pants.

"I saw nothing." I said as I was biting my lip.

"Elena don't have to be shy now." He said as he walked over to me.

Well to the bed. He sat down by my legs and leaned down to grab his nice shoes. I put down the magazine to watch his muscles flex as he put his socks and shoes on. I bit my lip again.

'God, get a hold of yourself' I told myself. After telling myself that, he looked at me. He smiled his whitey teeth smile at me, which made it worse for me. He stood up and went and put on a shirt then a cross necklace.



"Ready?" He turned and asked me.

"Yes, I am." I said as I got up and fixed my dress.

"By the way, you look beautiful." Dom told me as he opened his bedroom door.

"Thank you. You don't look to bad yourself." I told him as I touched his cross then walked away.

We got to the car and drove to where he said he was gonna take me to.

As we were eating our food. We talked and laughed. Getting to know each other. It was great to know Dom. He wasn't half bad.

After a few drinks in us with our meal, we decided to leave and head back to the garage to get my car.

Once we got there, we were laughing, until I got my heel stuck in a drain hole.

"No, no, no!" I cried out.

Brian and them looked up from the car and looked over towards us.

"Dom, my heel is stuck. And these are my only heels I have." I said.

"Here, lean on me while I try to get it out." Dom said as he bent down to pull it out.

It took a few minutes of wiggling it out but he got it out of the hole. I was excited when he got it out. I hugged him as I kept my foot in the air while he was holding my shoe.

"My hero." I said as I took my shoe from him and put it on.

"Elena, are you drunk?" Brian asked me as walked over to us.

"No, I've only had a few drinks." I had said. "I'm great. Its the weekend, I don't have to work tomorrow. And I had the best date ever." I looked over to Dom. "Thanks, for everything. I mean it. If it weren't for you, I don't know who else would have done the s**t to my car if Brian was away."

"My pleasure." Dom said.

I got to my car after they moved the other car out of the way. I started her up and headed home. When I got to the opening, I looked over to Dom.

"I'll see you around some time. Since my brother is gonna be here a lot." I told him.

"Okay. I'll like that." Dom said as he leaned into my window. "Matter of fact. If I ain't here when you come by, I'll be at the house. Come by any time. Night or day." He told me. Then looked up towards my brother. "Even if Brian is out on work. Come by."

I nodded and drove off when he got off my car. As I got home, I got out of this dress and these heels and laid down on the bed, after putting my night clothes on. I may have had a few drinks in me but I knew what I was doing. I had fun and I normally don't drink but when I do it's the mix drinks if I'm out at the club or if its with family and friends at home it depends on what they have or I don't drink at all. I'm more of a wine type of girl, no beer for me unless that's all there is then I'll drink a beer or two depending on what it is as well. But my date with Dom was great, I wasn't expecting to be that good. For a racer/car mechanic, he was fun to hang out with.

I think after tonight I'm starting to feel for him.

Well what do you thank for this chapter? I try to have it my way and put a few parts from the movie into it. When you see videos/chips/pictures from the movie, you know I'm adding the movie into it. Hope you like it so far.

What y'all think of Dom and Elena so far? Yay or nay? What about the whole idea of when "Brian's not home, come by the house" type s**t. I'm not trying to make Dom a bad guy or an ass that sleeps with women or f***s with their heads. I'm trying to make him like a gentleman and some what he was in the movie. Let me know during the chapters if you like it or not.
