Diana glanced over her shoulder and caught of glimpse of Dom's face as he was looking over her freshly made bed. "Sometimes when I get to tired to walk, I just sleep out here." She said and rolled her shoulder's simply. Feeling Dom's steady breathing down her neck and back made Diana nervous, her skin rising into goose bumps. Remembering that she was looking for the title, Diana continued the search, finally finding it under the title for the McLaren F1 Supercar she had bought yesterday. Turning around slowly Diana looked up at Dom, handing him the title. "There ya go." She said nervously, giving an uneasy chuckle. Diana stared into his eyes, leaning forward to kiss him when suddenly her phone went off, surprising her greatly. Digging down into her pocket Diana found her phone, looking at the caller I.D. Diggy. "I'm sorry I've got to take this." She said, answering her phone with a bit of hesitation.
"Wassup Diggy?"
"Aye. I got a new shipment of cars, but this idiot sent me 4 junkers too. You like projects, want 'em?"
"Ight, I'll slip over there in the truck in an hour or two okay?"
"Ight baby."
"Alright Diggy. Bye." She said and looked over at Dom. "Sorry, Diggy had some cars he wanted me to take." She grinned slightly, looking away from him and down to the floor.

Dominic slowly took the title from her hands, looking them over before smiling. He could hear Diggy's faint voice over the phone and remembered that he had to be at the track in less than an hour. He looked over at her. "Keys?" He asked with a slight chuckle as he neared her again. "Diana I've gotta go in a couple minutes okay? I remembered I have to be at the grounds in less than an hour. I'll spend more time with you some other time. I promise." He said, holding out his hand and pulling her onto her feet. Dominic pulled her into a gentle hug, his smiled deepened. Meanwhile at the grounds his crew was hanging around waiting for him to show up, knowing that he'd never be late for that race. And even if he was, they knew that Dom was the one to make it up in a victory.

Diana nodded and smiled as he pulled her up and hugged her. She winced playfully away as she felt his chin in her neck. She giggled and reached over to the key she had laied out, handing it to Dominic with a playful smile. "We're going to need to have a BBQ or a house party or something sooner or later." She said and grinned, folding her arms. She looked at him for a few minutes more before leaning forward and kissing him. It lasted almost 10 seconds before she pulled away and gave him a hug and a good hand shake. "I'll walk you out." She said with a confident smiled, standing next to him.

Dominic smiled and nodded, taking the keys as she talked. "Thanks and of course. We can have one after tonight if your not busy." He said and looked her over. He put his arm around her as she hugged him, kissing her in return as she kissed him. Dominic smiled, starting to walk out of her small office and into the spacious garage. Taking a quick glance at the car made his ego sky rocket again. "You know where to bring my car." He said and winked at her. Nearing the door he checked his watch, in about 10 minutes he was going to be late for the races, and everyone had already placed their bets on him. "S***, I gotta go now Diana. I'll call you when the races are done." He said and kissed her cheek. He jogged out the door and towards his car, hopping in and revving the engine. He threw it in reverse and sped out of the driveway, placing it in drive and hitting the accelerator. The tires skidded at first as they caught up with each other, leaving a small puff of smoke in it's place.

Diana nodded, "Yeah chief, I'll have it at your garage when you get home." She said with a grin, looking forward to seeing him later. She blushed deeply when he kissed her cheek and she felt horrible when he was leaving. She wanted desperately to just reach out and take his hand, pulling him back to her so they could talk more. But she knew races meant everything to him. She suddenly got an idea, pulling out her phone and hurrying to call Diggy back. He picked up on the second ring.
"Aye Diggy. I'll have to get the cars from you later okay? But get the gang and rally 'em up. Tell 'em races are on and to meet me there asap!" She said, Diggy agreeing to it and hanging up. Diana rushed to get in a better set of clothes, running and hopping into her 68' Shelby Cobra with a 427 engine. Nitrous already installed. Diana smiled some, hitting some switches inside so the lights on the inside were a blue color. She hurried and did her makeup, brushing her hair out and putting her black sunglass on. She smiled confidently and drove out of her garage, making sure to press the button that released King's kennel door. Letting the big rottie run freely. Diana hit the accelerator and sped towards the races, not seeing Dom anywhere near them. When she got there it was dark, and everyone was just about to place their bids. She skidded to a hard stop, the back of her car swinging out to a 180 degree. Everyone looked up as she lifted her sunglasses up. Confident and cocky.

By the time Dominic got there, all the bets on him had been made and he was on his way over to the dealers to see what the winner got. Which was the same as always. Winner takes 20 thousand and the loser's car. Dominic walked up to a fancy group of some people, men and women, dressed in black. "Dom." They greeted, their lips curling up into smiles. Dom didn't return the smile. He wasn't here to make friends, he was here to take the flame those rookies had and stomp it out. "Winner takes all again?" He said simply, not the one for doing much of the talking. The group looked amongst each other and nodded. Dom slowly nodded along with them, the sound of skidding wheels caught his attention. He looked over at the car, knowing it looked familiar. When he saw who was driving it he walked over. "Here to watch?" He asked, looking at her with a if your here to race don't bother look.

Almost immediately she noticed her crew standing around, some holding ice cold drinks. It would be a long night and judging by the other cars here, it would not be such an easy race. Just as she popped the door open and stepped out onto the blacktop she noticed Dom out of the corner of her eye. She shut her door gently and leaned against her beautiful car, a couple of her crew members walking over and greeting her. They noticed Dom, unaware that Diana and him had a thing going on. "I'm here to race. If anything you should be on the sidelines." She said with confidence, flipping her hair over her shoulder and folding her arms tightly across her chest. Her crew members began whispering amongst each other. This is her second race this season and she in fact wasn't very good at racing to begin with. "You know that I could meet you in New York minute. Racer X." She smirked, turning around and opening the door of her car. Her crew members looked her over and then at Dominic. "W registered?" Diana asked in a sobby way. Diggy nodded, "Yup."
"Bets?"
"Yeah, the Black Mascarade team put all the money they had on you." Diggy said, the mascarade's were the proffesional racers, who placed bets on more than one racer. Diana nodded with a smile, "See Dominic, I've got proffesionals betting on me. So, try not to get in my way?" She smiled, she was so cocky today for some reason.

Dominic noticed how funny she was acting, and he didn't like it. He put his hands down by his sides and looked at her with a confused but angered look. A few crowds of people slipped by Dom and Diana as they stood in the parking lot together. He couldn't believe how rude Diana was acting. Was this the same girl he had kissed earlier? Just as she was pulling her car door open he was quick to slam it shut again. "Remember who your friends are." He said, walking off towards his crew. Brian jogged up, "Hey man what was that about?" He asked, trying to keep in pace with Dominic, who was walking hastilly towards his car. Dominic almost growled the words out, "Little girl thinks she can play a man's game. I'mma show her how we big boys play." He said, slidding into his car. He turned his car on, the engine purring. Brian put his hand down on the roof of the car, looking inside at Dom.
"Your not seriously thinking about-"
"No. She thinks she can play rough and drive hard, I'mma show her what it's about." He said with a smirk, hitting the gas and getting to the starting line.

Diana smiled and shook her head, rolling her eyes simply and hopping in her car. She put her sunglasses on to hide her confused expression. I feel bad now. Why was I talking to him like that? She thought, pulling her car up next to Dominic's. She took a deep breath and put on a confident smile, As soon as the girl ahead waved the flag she jammed her foot down on the accelerator. She smiled, knowing that Dom was right on her tail. A couple people though were dragged in front of her.

Dominic watched intently the girl intently. Not taking any interest in her at all. When the flag went in the air Dominic put his car in gear, did a quick burn out, and jammed the accelerator to the floor. Wizzing by a couple of the other racers and off of the sidewalks, avoiding the oncoming traffic. Cars layed on their horns as Dominic zoomed as fast as that car could go. He easily passed Diana and now was side by side with Brian, who he easily passed when he let the Nitrous take effect. He smirked, keeping his eyes forward and cutting the wheel hard, taking a route better than the race track. She's gonna get it now. Dominic thought confidently, feeling a car coming up beside him, although it was Diana. It was some other racer. Dominic swerved over as the car was passing him, raming the back right tire and causing the other car to crash into some dumpsters. Laughing mentally Dominic kept driving, watching the navigational system occasionally.

He's trying to be slick. Diana thought as her grip on the steering wheel tightened, causing her knuckles to turn white. Thinking things over she decided to follow the route of the track, deciding that it'd be easier to win this if she actually did as told. Diana kept her foot down on the accelerator when all of the sudden... Pop... Her car started slowing down immediately as a rubber tubing fell from under the car. Diana cursed, hitting her palms against the steering wheel. "No! No! No!!" She screamed, putting her hand over her mouth and then over her eyes. She shook her head and sighed. I knew it. I knew I shouldn't have pushed the car to far. She said, hurrying to jump out and repair her car. The new pipe was loose so putting the pedal to the medal was out of the question. She smiled though as her car began moving again, knowing that Dom was probably at the finish, smiling a triumphant smile against his loosers. She kept going, keeping an eye out for Dom.

Dominic looked for a route way out, only finding one near to where the finish line ended. If he was getting out, he needed to do it now. He took a glance over and saw Diana, this would be a risky move but he needed a way out. Dom cut his wheel hard, sending the car swerving outward. Keeping his foot on the gas pedal Dom was able to hit the corner just right, avoiding Diana but only by a little bit. He actually bumped the right back tire of her car, knowing it would put her out of the race if she couldn't handle the car. Dom kept moving, soon gliding over the finish line. When he got back towards the crowd of people he cut his wheel hard again, making the back of his car swerve about 90 degrees. He stepped out, a few girls approaching him along with a couple of the suppliers walking over to him.
"Dom." The other girls said, walking up to him. "Can we get a picture?" They asked, grins spread wide across their faces. Dom looked them over. They were some pretty good looking girls.
"I guess I can spare a minute." Dom said, looking over at one of his crew members. "Aye Roman, take this picture man. I need to get movin." He said as the girls handed their camera over. One of them stood on Dom's left side, putting her arm around his back and putting her hand on his chest. The other girl, the one with more blonde hair, did the same. Dom put his arms around them, taking a quick glance back to make sure Diana was okay. Looking back long enough for the picture. "Thanks Dom." They both said, smiling sweetly as they took their camera back and looked him over. "Do you like parties?" They asked him. Dom shrugged his shoulder and grinned for the first time. "I party every now and then." The girls nodded, "Alright well why don't you and your crew stop by the bar off the highway." They persuaded. Dom nodded, "Alright." He said simply. The girls nodded and walked away, Dom mumbling a bad name for them under his breath. He looked over at the suppliers as they spoke.
"You, Brian, and the new girl finished in the top 3. Get ready to race again. Winner takes all this time." A tall woman said. Dom nodded.

Diana glared over at Dominic as he pulled up past her suddenly. She almost lost control of her car. Spinning a complete 360 degrees before she finally got control over it. She was bumper to bumper with Brian when she pulled across the finish line, angry that she had lost. She stepped out, looking her car over to notice she had a small dent in her car and a bunch of scratches. Her temper broiled over as she thought of how Dom had cheated to get over the finish line first. She stormed up to him and gave him a shove, "You cheated!" She hissed, glaring angrily up at him. IT was almost as though it was her anger talking and not her common sense. "I want to take a re-match and this time, Stay, On, Course!" She yelled, her hair on her neck almost rising up.

Dominic heard Diana's car come to a screeching halt but made no attempt to look back again. Taking a couple steps towards his crew before Diana rushed up and shoved him, which didn't move him at all. He simply smirked and looked down at her. "What happened to all the big talk? What happen to the smart remarks? You said you could play this game and obviously you can't. And don't worry about the rematch, get back to your car. We're having one right now." He said and glanced at his guys. Dominic walked back to his car and slid inside, glad to be getting back on the track. Meanwhile Brian was still out in his car, looking over at Dominic as if he was ashamed that Dom had to win like that. By cheating.

Diana nodded and had her crew fix her car before she hurried and met Dom and Brian at the starting point. She looked over at Dom and then straight forward again. Her grip on the steering wheel tightening till her knuckles turned pure white. She couldn't help it. Dom wouldn't win this race unless she let him, which she would never allow him to do. The gloves were off this time, Diana knew how Dom played and knew that it would talk everything inside her and all of her racing skills to beat him. But not just beat him. Beat him in style and with class. Something she saw the other racers lacking.
