I jumped in my seat at the counter as soon as the phone started ringing. I sighed and picked it up pressing it to my ear. "Just packed up a real money load, and it's comin' your way. Look for 'Rodgers' on the side of the truck. Don't forget my share of the deal." The dial tone went off as the guy ended the call.
I put the phone down as I walked out from behind the counter and into the back office where Dom sat. "Another's coming our way. He said to look for 'Rodgers' on the truck. And apparently we can't forget his share of the deal."I told him sitting down on the desk.
Dom sighed looking up at me. "Do you have to sit on my desk?" He asked annoyed. I smirked and nodded. "You know I do. I just love to annoy you. It's what twin sisters were made for."He chuckled shaking his head.
I grinned and hopped off. I kissed his head and walked back into the café. My lips turned up as soon as I caught sight of the bright red truck pulling up. From that truck stepped a blonde, blue-eyed man. He's been coming here every day for the past few weeks and ordering the same thing.
He smiled at me as he sat down at the counter. "Hey Brian."I said walking over. "Hey Bex." He said folding his hands together on top of the counter. I leaned my hip against the counter and crossed my arms. "Let me guess. Tuna on white. No crust."
Brian chuckled and nodded. "Yeah. Thanks." I smiled and walked over to the other counter. I grabbed the bread and spread the tuna on it. I put another piece of bread over the other and cut the crust off of the sandwich. I brought the plate over to Brian and set it down in front of him. He thanked me. I handed him a cold water bottle.
"Bexley!"Dom yelled. I sighed and walked back into the office. Dom stood up and came close to me so we were the only ones to know the conversation. "I need you to stay home tonight with Mia."He said. I scoffed shaking my head. "No. Dom you need me out there."I argued.
He shook his head. "No, what I need is for you to stay home with Mia." I scowled crossing my arms. "Why?"I asked him. "Because I said so. I'm older than both you and Mia so I'm in charge. You'll do as I say."I growled narrowing my eyes at him. He stared at me challengingly.
I turned sharply and stormed back into the kitchen. Brian stared at me in concern. "You okay?"He asked as he wiped his mouth having finished his lunch. I nodded and took the plate throwing it away. He stood up and placed money down onto the counter. "See you tomorrow."He called as he walked back to his truck.
I picked up the money staring after Brian. When he got into his truck, he looked back over. I blushed lightly and smiled at him. He grinned at me and started his truck, taking off.
I put the money in the cash register sighing softly. I looked over to see Dom staring hard at me with his arms crossed. I glared harshly at him before going back to my book.
~Time Skip~
I sat on the couch with some random show playing on a low volume. It was almost 3 in the morning and the team still wasn't back yet. It had me more than a little worried.
My leg started to bounce from the nerves. Mia came down the stairs and stared at me. "You okay?"She asked. I sighed and nodded running both my hands through my hair. "They should have been back already."I told her.
She came over and sat beside me. "They'll be back. You know that they're gonna be okay. So quit worrying."She said trying to reassure me. I smiled softly and nodded.
Car doors slammed causing me to jump up and run over to the door. I threw it open and sighed in relief seeing the guys and Letty walking up the stairs to the porch. I pulled Dom into my arms hugging him tightly. He chuckled hugging me back.
"We're fine sis."I pulled away and hugged Leon since he was right behind Dom. He squeezed my hips before pulling away. I hugged Jesse and then Letty. Vince was last to come inside the house so he was the last to get a hug. I smiled hugging him. "You okay V?"I asked once I pulled away.
He nodded and headed inside the house. I followed him and smiled at my family gathered in the living room. V and Mia were sitting together on the love seat. Dom was in his chair with Letty on his lap. Jesse and Leon were on the bigger couch.
"I'm heading to bed. You guys had me too damn worried and now I'm super tired. I'll be lucky to get a few hours of sleep now."I told them as I turned and started heading up the stairs. They all hollered out goodnights or sleep wells and love yous.
I walked into my room and locked the door. You could never really trust these guys to stay out no matter how much I consider them family. I took the scrunchie out of my hair allowing my hair to fall down naturally.
I slipped my t-shirt and shorts off. I grabbed my pjs from a drawer and slipped them on before climbing into bed. I laid there staring at the ceiling thinking about Brian. He was hot. He was also very sweet. I guess you could say that I had some feelings for him.
I groaned quietly and turned onto my side closing my eyes. I let out a breath and fell into the darkness of sleep.
