Found Her Niche...

Jan 23, 2007 21:37

Drag racing was all well and good, but it could never satisfy Leawyn's need for challenges and using skill to get ahead. Not that she thought keeping one's ride from red-lining wasn't a matter of skill, but honestly, a quarter-mile track with a two-shot of NOS for a total of ten seconds worth of sheer adrenaline ( Read more... )

And when doesn't he show up at a race? Racing is his thing. Something he enjoyed doing and something he enjoyed watching. Which is why the Supra shows up and those eyes are watching who all are in the line up. Oh... well... isn't that just a sight for sore eyes.

And we're sure that Leawyn knows the tell tale sounds of Dom's car.

She does, which is why she's craning her neck to try and catch a glimpse. The facilitator of this particular venue is mildly annoyed at the delay, since he cant very well start the race until the only cars making noise are the ones on the line.

And then he sees that it's Dom's crew and the annoyance fades. He stands up a little straighter, pleased as punch that Dom would grace them with his presence, even if the street-racer preferred the drag racing.

And when she does catch his eye he gives her a grin. Oh, he couldn't be any happier right about now. But that might be because his girl is about ready to have fun. Though Dom is amused by the facilitator's reaction but at the same time expected it.

"Go on. We're just here for the show." Because he wasn't going to compete against his girl. He wanted to see what she could do first. See how well it went.

The other man nods and catches the racers' attention. It's a 3 car race this time, since the track is wide enough, but the press of bodies and parked cars will make it a very interesting race, indeed.

Leawyn's hands flex on the steering wheel and she focusses on the race. When the flag drops, she and the other two are off...

"That would be awesome." She grins, then nods at the racer that nearly crashed into her. "Nice recovery out there," she says. "No hard feelings, eh?"

The other guy - yes, guy - salutes, nods and smiles at Dom and heads off. And before the street racer can ask, Leawyn's saying, "Turn eight's pretty bad. He mis-judged his drift and nearly slammed me into the wall. I was quick on the break, though, and he over-shot me and traded paint with the wall."

street_leader June 13 2007, 22:43:09 UTC

That merely gets a smirk out of Dom. "I know how bad that turn is. I've been on this run before." Not that she would've known that. What with him and drag racing all the time.

leawynbrock June 13 2007, 22:48:23 UTC

That gets him a raised brow and a questioning look. She doesn't get a chance to say anything, though, because that's when they're interrupted by the facilitator-guy thing.

He seems unsure of who to give the cash to, Leawyn or Dom. They way he sees, it, if she's part of Dom's crew, it goes to him. If she's not - which, when put next to the fact that they're practically clinging to each other, makes it a silly notion - it goes to her.

Amusing? We think so.

street_leader June 13 2007, 22:50:53 UTC

Only problem with that notion is she's more than a part of his crew. She's family. She's... well, it's obvious, his. Though he does give the facilitator a slight smirk. If only because this is amusing the shit out of him.

"Give the girl her money already."

"So what do you want to do now, beautiful? The cops don't come down this way so we don't have to do any running. But then again we should all head home, celebrate your victory."

leawynbrock June 14 2007, 01:25:58 UTC

Leawyn grins and glances over her shoulder. "Yeah, I know. They'll be here all night." Sounds like she's done an all-nighter at least once. A sigh. "Home sounds good."

street_leader June 14 2007, 01:42:26 UTC

He gives a slight chuckle. "Well, hop in your car and we'll take her to Harry's then head home." Seems a bit late for anyone to be at Harry's but this is Dom we're talking about here.

leawynbrock June 14 2007, 01:59:48 UTC

It's not just Dom's we're talking about, it's the fact that it's an issue with Dom's girl's car. You don't mess with either of those.

She leans up to drop a kiss on his cheek before moving to her car and getting in. She'll fall into formation with them once they're all ready to head out.
