ADRENALINE RUSH

faith

I just arrived at Harry's, his shop was pretty good.

"There she is" Jesse points as I walk through the doors with my keys in my hand.

"Morning" I yawned, pulling a chair out next to Jesse and sitting down.

"What you got going on here" I point at his laptop.

"Oh nothing" Jesse muttered. He was a quiet man.

I groaned and pulled the laptop towards me.

I could see a plan for the upgrades on the eclipse Johnny tran and his crew totalled last night.

"Woah bro. Your brain is wicked" I looked through the details.

"Nah man" Jesse laughed humbly. I snorted, standing and turning "you are man. I've seen some shit but nothing compares to what you got going on there" I call over my shoulder, walking over to Dom's project.

"Hey man" I clapped Dom's shoulder, he turned his head and fiddled with the wrench in his hand.

"Sup" he said, looking over to letty who was sitting on the counter cleaning a set of rims that rested on her lap.

"Go talk to her" dom mutters.

"Nah man. I was just joking at the races, i don't wanna disrupt anyone's flow" I shrug, I really didn't want anyone to be mad at me for going after letty.

And with the offer I accepted last night changes a lot.

"Look, letty has been with us for years, if anyone could handle her they would be with her right now. But they can't. So have at it. But if you hurt her. I hurt you" dom explained. I bit my lip and look back over to letty.

"Go" dom laughed, pushing me towards her.

I stumble over and catch my footing by slamming my hands on the counter next to her.

I sneer back over to dom who's smirking.

"Hello" letty laughed, running the rag over the rims.

"Hey" I smile, standing up straight and moving to sit next to her.

"So I need a favor to ask" I grab the rag from her hand and start fidgeting.

"And that is" lettys voice just melts my rational thoughts.

"I need someone to accompany me to a race tonight" I look at her.

"Sure I'll come" letty smiled, her smile could light up the dark.

"Good, that's good. Great" I jump off the counter and hand her back the rag.

Walking away as fast as I could to avoid making it more awkward. thankfully, my brother pulled in with hunk of scrap metal.

"the fuck is that man" i laughed, dom turned his head towards me and snorted.

"what you got there" dom leant his arm on the tracks of the roller door, brian stood in front of him and smiled pointing to the car "this is your car" he smirked 

"my car?" dom teased, i followed jesse to the car and watched him bang the caved in door.

"i said a ten second car not a ten minute car" dom continued joking as he pointed his hand to the car.

knowing my brother, there was surely something about this car that was worth it.

as the boys continued talking, i kicked over a tool box that was next to the door and lined it at the wheels of the tow, i stood on it and pried open the hood.

"no faith" my brother says with a laugh, i let out a breath and shake my head "shit man i got faith" i say looking down at the decked out engine brian managed to score. "come look at this" i say waving the crew over. 

"2jz engine" i mutter looking at my brother shaking my head. this was the engine of the car i was boosting when i got caught.

fucker i mumbled.

"what you say noa? 10,000?" jesse played with the crowbar and talked to me, i bit my lip and shook my head "id say bout 15,000? shit will decimate" i nodded, looking over at dom.

"put it on my tab" dom snickered when jesse celebrated with a fist pump to the air, and then looked at brian again "ive gotta get you racing so i can make some money off your ass".

i jumped off the tool box and walk over to where mia was working.

"hey mia" i waved, dragging a chair over next to her and sitting.

"hey noa" she mumbled, hunched over the paper work. her hair sitting crazy over her neck.

"dom pretty much owns brian now huh" i snorted over at brian as dom calls him 'mr arizona'

"without a doubt" mia smiled.
