3.1
A few days later, Dom, Bellamy, Mia, Letty, Jesse, and Leon are at the garage.
"What about parts and service?" Mia asks Dom as she looks at some paperwork.
"Hold off on it," Dom tells her causing Bellamy to roll her eyes.
"Dom, I don't know what to do with it," Mia says as a tow truck backs up in front of the garage with a totaled car on it.
"I'll handle it later," Bellamy tells Mia as she walks over to stand beside Dom and Jesse.
"What do you got there?" Dom asks as Brian walks over to them.
"This is your car," Brian answers him.
"My car?" Dom asks as Jesse hits the car and Bellamy runs her finger across it before looking at all the dirt on her finger. "I said a 10-second car, not a 10-minute car."
"You could push this across the finish line, or tow it," Jesse says causing Letty to laugh.
"You couldn't even tow that across the finish line," Bellamy adds causing Mia to nudge her and send a slight glare.
"No faith," Brian defends himself causing Bellamy to smile.
"I have faith in you, but this isn't a junkyard. This is a garage," Dom tells him.
"Pop the hood," Brian tells Jesse.
"Pop the hood?" Dom asks to see if he is serious.
"Pop the hood," Brian answers. They get the car off of the tow truck and into the garage.
"2JZ engine. No shit," Bellamy says as they take the hood off.
"And what did I tell you?" Brian says with a smirk.
"We retract our previous statements," Dom says as Bellamy nods in agreement.
"You know what? This will decimate all after you put about $15,000 in it," Jesse says as Bellamy nods in agreement again.
"Or more, if we have to overnight parts from Japan," Bellamy adds as she looks over at her brother, almost begging him to say yes.
"We'll put it on my tab at Harry's," Dom says as he turns to Brian.
"Yes!" Jesse says as he and Bellamy high five.
"I gotta get you racing again so I can make some money off your ass," Dom tells Brian. "There's a show down in the desert called Race Wars. That's where you'll do it. When you're not working at Harry's, you're working here."
"If you can't find the right tool in this garage, Mr. Arizona," Bellamy says with a smirk as she walks around the car. "you don't belong near a car."
"They own you now," Mia says with a smirk as she walks past Brian before following Bellamy into the office. Bellamy and Jesse spend the evening taking the car apart to see what they will need to fix it. Vince eventually joins them causing Bellamy to smile. Vince kisses her head before grabbing a tool to help. The next day Bellamy, Dom, Jesse, and Leon meet Brian at Harry's to get the parts they need.
The next morning, Bellamy is at the garage helping Jesse with the last touches of building what the car could be. About 30 minutes later Brian joins them.
"Tell me what you think about this," Jesse says as Bellamy puts a disc into the computer. "Koni adjustables. Gonna save us about 2 pounds. And they're gonna give us better traction for the hole shot."
"All right, this is your basic layout of the car. And that's pretty much what it could look like when it's finished. Red, green," Bellamy explains as Jesse nods in agreement.
"You both should be going to MIT or something," Brian tells them as he looks at what they had accomplished impressed.
"No, I got that... What's it called? That attention disorder..." Jesse starts to explain.
"ADD," Bellamy answers him as she pats his shoulder.
"Yes, that shit. Yeah. You know, I was good in algebra and like math and shit. Everything else I failed. Dropped out of school. I don't know. It's just something about engines that calms me down, you know," Jesse explains causing Bellamy to smile at him as she nods in agreement. "She is a MIT graduate though." Brian looks at Bellamy shocked causing her to shrug her shoulder like it's nothing.
"Alright, lets head home. We got our Sunday barbecue," Bellamy says as she claps her hands together before they leave to the Toretto household.
Bellamy is talking to Jesse as they play basketball before Letty, Leon, and Vince pull up, causing Bellamy to smile.
"I'm outta here," Vince says as he hands his bags to Leon, having seen Brian.
"Come on, dog," Leon tries to stop him.
"Yo, Dom," Letty says getting his and Bellamy's attention.
"V!" Bellamy tries to get his attention.
"Vince, get over here and give us a hand," Dom calls as Vince starts walking back to his car.
"Looks like you got all the help you need, brother," Vince says before getting into his car and driving off. Bellamy frowns before she goes inside to get changed and help Mia.
"Mia! Bella!" Dom calls as he puts barbecue sauce on the chicken. "The chicken's dry!"
"All right. We're coming out already," Mia says as she brings out a bowl of rolls. She is followed by Bellamy, who is carrying a salad, as she is followed by Jesse and Brian, who are carrying beers.
"Beautiful," Dom says as Bellamy and Mia hug him before they all go sit at the table with Bellamy sitting at the other end of the table. Jesse grabs a piece of chicken and puts it on his plate causing Bellamy to smile as she knew what was coming next.
"Hey, hold up," Dom tells him, causing Jesse to freeze. "Because you were the first to reach in to get the chicken, you say grace." Bellamy and Mia share a smile before crossing their hands.
"Dear heavenly..." Jesse starts but doesn't know how to continue.
"Spirit," Leon says helping him out.
"Spirit. Thank you," Jesse says causing Bellamy to smile even bigger. "Thank you for providing us with a direct port nitrous injection, four core intercoolers and ball-bearing turbos and titanium valve springs. Thank you."
"Amen," Letty says as she and Leon clap.
"Not bad," Dom tells him.
"He was praying to the car gods, man," Letty says before they start fixing their plates.
"Look who it is. "Old Coyotes 'R' Us"," Leon says causing them to look and see Vince walking up.
"I thought you weren't hungry, pumpkin," Bellamy says with a smirk.
"You know, I gotta eat," Vince says as he slightly smiles at her.
"He's always hungry," Letty says in agreement with a smirk.
"All right, sit down," Dom says before Vince walks over and kisses the back of Dom's head.
"How you doing, Mia?" Vince asks as he walks to his seat across from Brian. "Bella." Vince kisses her head causing her to smile as he whispers in her ear. "Beautiful." Vince grabs Brian's beer before water falling some into his mouth as he sits down. Brian takes a drink of his beer after Vince sets it back down on the table.
"You coming from the hospital, Vince?" Dom asks as everyone fixes their plates. Vince nods as he sets his beer down.
"Yeah," Vince says quietly.
"How's your mother doing?" Dom asks him.
"They're giving her shit for the pain," Vince answers him with a frown.
"What are they giving her?" Mia asks him as Bellamy grabs his hand under the table, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Something that I can't pronounce," Vince answers Mia with a small smile.
"Let's make sure we put a plate of food together. Save something for her," Dom says as he looks at Vince. "Tell her we all said Hello."
"She'd appreciate that," Vince says with a small nod.
"Let's eat some grub, man," Letty says as she pats Vince on the back.
"So, what's on your mind speed racer?" Dom asks as he looks at Brian. "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing," Brian says as he slightly shakes his head before grabbing his beer.
"You're in deep thought over there," Dom says with a smile.
"I just think this is nice," Brian says as he looks around the table
"What's nice?" Bellamy asks him.
"All this," Brian answers her as he motions around the table. "You know the picnic and the barbecue. It's like a family."
"What are you? An orphan?" Letty questions him with a raised eyebrow.
"No, it's just whenever I show up my dad always calls the cops," Brian jokes with her causing everyone to laugh.
"That's funny," Dom says as he slaps the table before pointing at Brian. "No cops at the Toretto's house." Vince and Brian take a drink of their beers as they stare at each other. "Rule number one."
Later that night everyone is watching a movie besides Brian, Bellamy, and Mia who are cleaning up.
"Need a hand with anything else?" Bellamy asks as she sets the last of the dishes by the sink.
"No, I'm good. You can go join the boys and watch the movie," Mia says as she washes the dishes.
"Your the best, sis," Bellamy says as she quickly kisses her sister's cheek before taking off into the living room, sitting beside Vince.
"The cook doesn't clean where I come from," Brian says as he starts helping by drying the dishes.
"I'd like to go there," Mia says with a smile.
"I think we should go out sometime," Brian says as he glances at Mia.
"No, I don't date my brother's friends," Mia says with a shake of her head.
"That sucks. I'll have to kick his ass then," Brian says causing Mia to look at him with a smile.
"I'd love to see that one. I would pay to see that one, actually," Mia says with a giggle.
"Wash my car when you get done," Vince says as he walks into the kitchen to make popcorn.
"What was that?" Mia asks turning to look at him.
"No, Mia. I'm talking to the punk. Wear your favorite dress too, cause when you're done, I'm putting you on the street where you belong, cutie," Vince explains causing Brian to turn around while Mia goes back to washing dishes. Vince starts messing with the microwave causing Bellamy to go into the kitchen. "Is this thing broken? What's wrong with this thing?" Mia decides to mess with Vince, remembering that he used to have a crush on her, also not knowing about Vince and her sister having a thing. A few days ago, Vince had mentioned a Cuban restaurant to her because he was thinking about taking Bellamy there, not knowing that Mia didn't know about them.
"V?" Mia says trying to get Vince's attention. "V, What was that Cuban restaurant you were talking about? The one with the picadillo and..."
"With little red candles, wooden tables..." Vince adds as Mia could tell that he was getting excited. Vince glances at Bellamy with a smile.
"The plantain, food all over the place. What it's called?" Mia asks to taunt him a little more.
"Cha Cha Cha," Vince answers her with an excited smile.
"Yeah, that's it," Mia says with a smirk before turning to Brian. "Well, you can take me there.
Friday night at 10:00. Is that good for you?"
"Yeah, it's perfect," Brian answers with a smile causing Vince to frown.
"Good," Mia says as she glances back at Vince with a smirk. Vince leaves the room and hits the wall on the way out to refrain from calling Mia a bitch in front of her sister.
"Where's the popcorn?" Jesse asks as Vince walks through the living room.
"Make your own goddamn popcorn," Vince yells at him before going outside.
"That was a bitch move," Bellamy tells her sister with a frown before following Vince outside, leaving a confused Mia. "V!"
"What?!" Vince snaps as he turns to face Bellamy before frowning as he realizes who it is. "Sorry, Bella."
"It's okay, Vince," Bellamy says as she grabs his hand. "Why did what Mia said piss you off so badly?"
"I told her about the restaurant a few days ago," Vince answers her as he shakes his head. "I guess she thought I was telling her so I could take her there. But actually I was telling her so I could take you there on a date."
"A date?" Bellamy asks him with a smile.
"Yeah," Vince says with a nod. "I want to do right by you, Bella. Because I really like you and want to be with you."
"Is this your way of asking me to be your girlfriend?" Bellamy asks with a smirk as she crosses her arms across her chest.
"Is it working?" Vince asks her back with a small smile.
"Definitely," Bellamy answers him before pulling him in for a kiss.
"So, is that a yes?" Vince asks as they pull apart, causing Bellamy to smile and slightly roll her eyes.
"Yes," Bellamy answers before pulling Vince in for another kiss that he smiles into.
