Dom said grace and everybody started grabbing foor. I just grabbed a roll and munches a little.
"not hungry?" letti asks.
"i am a little. just used to not having food around." i admitted.
"they didnt give you food at the orphange?" brian asked.
"no. i was considered a lower life form i guess. i did all the cooking and some of the cleaning. Other wise id get locked in a closet instead of being in the basement." i said inbetween bites of bread.
"thats child abuse!" brian pratically yelled.
"yeah but i always got my revenge. dom and letti saw that earlier. and i blackmailed some people for money. This one girl sneeks a guy into her room and they payed me 5 bucks everytime so i dont rat on them." i say with a half laugh.
"so thats how you earned food money?" mia asked.
"yup. and saving up for my car. I bet on races to get some money and its paid off pretty well..i always know who to bed on."
"who " mia asks.
"i always bet on Dom" i say with a smile. He smiles back and nods.
"so how much have you got so far?" mia asks.
"not much. right now its just sittin in the bank. a total of six hundred dollars. iv only recently been able to bet cause the stupid people thought in was to young."
"you were to young" roman inturrupts.
"but the last race i was paid to drive this guys car. he wimped out last second and wanted a sub in. So i drove and got 100 bucks. and the guy didnt even lose his car."
"they were racing pinks?" letti asked.
"yeah. but i let the other guy keep his sence technically the owner didn't race. wouldn't have been right if i didn't"

The sun was getting low and i was on my third roll. A few guys left so it was just me letti mia dom and brian hanging around the garage.
The front light turned on gave us just enough light to see the back porch steps.
I pulled my hoodie back on and layed my head back listening to the roar of the engine. I closed my eyes and imagined myself behind the wheel racing. the speed reaching over 90 and the smell of burnt rubber. Before i knew it i was pratically asleep.
I felt strong arms pick me up. i opened my eyes slightly.
"go back to sleep baby girl" dom said.
I closed my eyes and let dom carry me to my new room. i felt the softness of the bed and the covers wrap around me. A soft kiss to my fore head from dom and one on my cheek from letti. I heard the door close and i smiled at how good my life has become.
