Fast To My Heart Series

Chapter 1

Emily POV

Cuba, one of the places that could bring a smile to anyone's face. Even if you were having the worst day ever, Havana, Cuba could make you smile. I mean, they even created a song called Havana, that's got to mean something.

Dom and I are in Havana, Cuba right now, smiling for many reasons. We're on our Honeymoon, looking down at a beautiful car engine, in each other's arms.

"We swap in parts from Ford Plymouths and Cadillac. My grandfather bought it in 1957. When he died it passed to my father, then my brother, and now to me," The young boy said, looking at Dom and me as his father walked over with a proud smile.

"Look at this, this is an engine from a boat," Dom said, pointing to the engine. My eyes went wide while an amazed smile crept onto my face, "No way!"

The son, proud to get a Toretto smile, said, "Yeah! Whatever it takes to keep it running!" Dom pointed to the son, "This is a Cuban spirit. Your spirit, keep it up. Never ever lose that."

The son and father nodded with wide smiles as a lady came running up to Dom and I, "Dom, it's your cousin, he's in trouble, come quickly!"

Dom wrapped his arm around me as we walked over to where Fed was being yelled at by a man. "Please don't do this, understand my problem. You know I can't make a living without my car," Fed begged the man.

"Isn't my problem bro," The man said before spotting Dom walking over to him, letting me go. Fed moved to the side, standing by me as he watched the man grow a wide smile as he said, "Dominic Toretto, I heard about you. Welcome to my island."

"Why he hooking up my cousin's car?" Dom asked, pointing to his cousin's car that was about to be toed.

The man's smile fell as he seemed to get annoyed mixed with anger, "In the morning, I gave it to him, he can't pay, I take the car."

Fed took a step forward, "I just need a few more days," Fed begged. "Few more days isn't part of the deal," The man said to Dom's cousin. Dom sighed and looked at Fed, "Come on, you make a deal you gotta live up to it." The man nodded, "You make a deal, you gonna live up to it."

Dom and I both eyed the man, Dom was the first to speak up, "Gonna live up to it? So you are one of those types. You take everyone's ride and then ship it back to the states."

"You should show your people some respect," I said, crossing my arms, already hating this guy. The next five words that left his mouth made me hate him a bit more, "You watch your mouth, Bitch." My eyes went wide and a small laugh left my lips as I watched Dom turn and look at this man with a look that could drop him dead. "Now you got a problem," I said, keeping a smile on my face.

Taking a step towards the man, Dom said, "I'm gonna keep it about the cars. But ig you want a car? Get it the right way."

"How?" The man asked, making Dom look over at me with a knowing smile. "Race war," I said, making the man's eyes look over to me before they moved back to Dom. "I already own it, bro," the man said, making Dom shake his head before pointing out his car, "Not that car. Mine."

My eyes looked to Dom, studying his face to see if he was serious. Yup, he was.

Fed quickly but in, making Dom look at him, "Dom, his car is the fastest car in the Island. Do you know what he has under the hood?" Dom made no move or say in stepping down. Letting out a loud sigh, Fed looked over at me, "Emily, talk to him."

I put my hands up, shaking my head, letting him know that there was nothing I could do once Dom made his decision.

Dom, focusing his attention back on the man before him, said, "Do you know, it doesn't matter what's under a hood? The only thing that matters is who's behind the wheel."
