We drove around for a while, mostly in silence.
The sun was about to go down as we reached the beach. Dom parked the car and we slowly got out and walked towards the water.
"Do you like it here?" Dom asked as we walked down the beach.
"Yeah. The weather's nice." I chuckled, looking over at Dom.
"And I really enjoy being around you guys." I continued, with a more serious look, making a smile spread across his face.
We walked back and sat on the hood of his car and watched the sunset.
"Do you have any siblings?" Dom asked.
I looked at him and smiled, before I answered. The thought of my family, made my stomach tighten.
"I have a younger brother." I answered.
We talked until the sun was completely down, before he drove me home.
"Thank you." I said smiling at Dom, as he parked the car by my motel.
"See you around." I added before I was about to get out of the car.
"Jess?" Dom suddenly said, making me sit back in my seat and look at him.
"Do you have any plans for tomorrow? We could work on some cars? I can pick you up." He suggested.
"Sounds fun." I answered smiling widely, trying to contain my excitement.
"See you tomorrow then." I added, before I gave him one last smile and got out of the car.
I couldn't help but smile to myself, as I walked to my room.

The next morning I woke up to a text.
"I'll pick you up in an hour. Breakfast is on me.
Dom."
I smiled to myself, as I rolled back into bed. I couldn't wait to spend the day with Dom, working on cars.
I quickly got out of bed and took a shower.
I braided my hair, put on my make up and got dressed.
Suddenly someone knocked at the door.
"Come in." I said, while gathering the last things.
Dom slowly opened the door and walked in. "Good morning." I greeted happily as he walked in. He smiled at me, making the butterflies in my stomach grow.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Yes." I answered walking towards him and the door.
We got some breakfast on the way to the shop and garage.
"Thanks for breakfast." I said smiling at him, as we reached the shop.
Mia was studying behind the counter, as we walked in.
"Hi." She greeted happily as she noticed us. We hugged, like we had been friends forever, before I followed Dom into the garage.
We started working on one of the cars. We worked on the car engine as the others walked in. They all said hi before they spread across the garage and started their own thing. Dom slowly walked up behind me and explained how the engine worked.
He was so close, I could feel his muscular chest against my back.
I couldn't concentrate with him so close to me. What was wrong with me? It wasn't like, it meant anything. He was just showing me how it worked.
"Get yourself together." I thought to myself.
Dom seemed to notice, and just smirked to himself.
A shiver ran through me, as he spoke right next to my ear. His breath tickled my skin.
We worked on the car for another half an hour before I got cleaned up and decided to help Mia with lunch.
There were some costumers in the shop. I noticed a young man, with messy blond hair talking to Mia. He was actually pretty cute.
I sneaked behind the counter and started to prepare lunch, letting Mia talk with the guy.
Mia smiled thankfully at me, before she continued with her conversation.
The guy left and Mia helped me finish the sandwiches.
"He looked cute." I said smirking, making Mia giggle.
"I'll tell the others, that lunch is ready." I said smiling before I walked into the garage.
"Lunch is ready." I yelled, to the others from the door.
Jesse, Vince and Leon quickly finished up and came into the shop.
I slowly walked to Dom who was packing away some of the tools.
"Thank you. For letting me help you out today." I said smiling sweetly at him.
"Anytime." He said smiling widely, stopping right on front of me.
My heart skipped a beat as he looked me deep in the eyes. His smile, made me weak in my knees and my heart jump in my chest.
"Come on. Let's get some lunch." He said, interrupting the moment.

About three weeks passed.
I spend all my time at Toretto's.
I helped Mia in the shop until lunch and then spend the rest of the afternoon with the guys in the garage.
Some days Dom and I worked until late in the night.
We had so much fun and I felt really comfortable around him. We got really close, and my feelings for him grew by each day.
It was before lunch, and I was helping Mia in the shop.
I was cleaning the shelves, while Mia took care of the costumers. Dom was reading the newspaper, and the rest of the group was out testing their cars.
Mia noticed that Dom was watching Jess, and couldn't help but smile to herself.
She slowly walked to him and leaned against the doorframe, earning herself a questioningly look from him.
"Why don't you ask her out?" Mia asked with a teasing smirk, making Dom chuckle and look away.
"Admit it. You like her." Mia added, still smirking, before she walked back to her space behind the counter.

These past three weeks, the young blonde guy came in for lunch everyday, ordering the same tuna sandwich.
And he was here again today.
"Tuna on white, no crust, right?" Mia asked as he sat down by the counter, and started to look through a car magazine.
- "I don't know. How is it?" He asked.
"Every day, for the last three weeks, you've come here, asking how the tuna is.
Now, it was crappy yesterday.
It was crappy the day before.
And guess what? It hasn't changed." Mia said sarcastically. I had to smother a laugh, while I was cleaning the shelves.
- "I'll have the tuna." He said smiling.
-" No crust?" Mia asked.
"No crust." He agreed.
"He likes you." I whispered to Mia, as I walked up next to her, making her shoot a look at me.
Dom was reading the newspaper in the other room. I had a hard time keeping my eyes off him. I think he noticed it, because he was smirking to himself. Our eyes met briefly, as we shared a smile.
Suddenly Letty, Leon, Jesse and Vince pulled up with their cars and walked in.
"What's up, guys?" Mia said cheerfully, as they walked in.
-"How you doing?" Jesse said as he and Leon walked to the sunglasses.
Both Jesse and Leon greeted me, by knocking our knuckles together.
"How you living, girl?" Letty said to Mia, before she walked to the room in the back.
"Hey, Dom. You want something to drink?" She asked Dom, leaning against the doorframe. He raised his beer, without even looking at her. She stepped away, disappointed.
Vince sat down beside the young guy and gave him a death glare.
"He's beautiful." Jesse said to Leon, making me chuckle and shake my head.
"I like his haircut." Leon added. I couldn't help but chuckle again.
"Vince? Vince!" Mia said raising her voice, trying to get his attention.
"What?" Vince asked, finally breaking his stare.
"Can I get you anything?" Mia asked almost a bit harsh.
"You look good." Vince said, looking up and down her body. I could see the annoyance in Mia's stare.
"Thanks a lot, Mia. See you tomorrow." The blonde guy said before he paid and stood up.
"Sure." Mia answered. She liked him.
"Tomorrow?" Vince said annoyed, under his breath.
"I love this part." Leon said, just waiting for what would happen.
"Yo!" Vince yelled as he jumped from his chair.
"Try Fatburger from now on. Get yourself a Double Cheese with fries for $2.95, faggot." He continued, as he followed the guy outside.
- "I like the tuna here." The guy said, walking towards his car.
"Bullshit. No one likes the tuna here." Vince hissed.
"Yeah, well, I do." The guy just finished before Vince pushed him forward, making him bump into the car.
He turned around and punched Vince, starting a fight.
"Jesus Christ, Dom! Would you get out there? I'm sick of this shit.
I'm not kidding, Dom. Get out there!" Mia yelled at Dom. She was really annoyed and frustrated.
"What did you put in that sandwich?" Dom asked sarcastically.
"That's funny." Mia hissed.
- "Dom!" I yelled at him, giving him a look.
"All right." Dom finally said, before he hurried out to stop the guys from fighting, quickly followed by Jesse and Leon.
The blonde guy was on top of Vince and was about to hit him again, as Dom grabbed him from behind and pushed him up against his truck.
"Hey, man. He was in my face." The guy said.
"I'm in your face." Dom said annoyed, just before Vince was about to attack again. Dom roughly pushed him away.
"Relax! Don't push it! You embarrass me!" Dom yelled angrily. Jesse and Leon had to get in between and push Vince back.
"Jesse, give me the wallet." Dom ordered.
Jesse quickly grabbed the wallet from the ground and gave it to Dom.
"Brian Earl Spilner." Dom read from the driver's license.
"Sounds like a serial killer name. Is that what you are?" Dom asked, with a serious look.
- "No, man."
"Don't come around here again." Dom said harshly, before he turned around and started to walk away.
"Hey, man. This is bullshit." Brian protested.
"You work for Harry, right?" Dom asked, quickly turning around.
- "Yeah. I just started." The guy answered insecurely.
"You were just fired." Dom said angrily walking back towards the shop.
