Dom's POV
I looked up as I heard the side door to the garage open. I smiled as little Kayla from next door hopped up on the bench next to me looking down at the open engine compartment. She had on the same beautiful little smile she always wore when she visited my family. I had felt sorry for this child from the moment I had met her, she wasn't born into a family that put her needs before their own.
"What you working on?" She asked as she watched me work.
"Changing the air filter." I smiled down at the child as she watched me work. Everyday about the same time since we had moved back to Eco Park the little girl came over to visit. At first I had been concerned about the child running around on her own, but as soon as I found out that there was no one around most days to watch her I began to welcome the child into our home.
"Can I help?" She asked looking up at me with the innocents that only a small child could possess.
"Not today sweetheart, I'm already done, besides your mom would kick my butt if I let you get dirty." I said grabbing a rag of the tool box, I wiped a bit of grease off his hands before shutting the hood.
"Can I next time, Brian lets me help him work on the skyline." I couldn't help but smile as I thought of Brian teaching the little girl how to work on a car, that man would make a damn good father.
"Really what did he teach you?" I asked leaning against the wall of the garage watching the child with amusement. Most people would be annoyed if their neighbors were never home to watch their six year old child, but Brian and Mia loved having Kayla at the house and I would have to admit that I looked forward to her visits as well. She was always a bundle of energy that kept us on our toes.
"He showed me how to change the oil." She smiled brightly as she jumped down from the bench.
"Really is that all." I smiled as I watched how her face brightened up as she told me about changing the oil in the skyline.
"I can't say what else he said, he said it was a secret." She smirked at me, but the look on her face told me she was itching to tell me exactly Brian had told her.
"Well you know Brian's my boyfriend he tells me everything." I asked figuring my lie would trick the child.
"He told me his rice car was better than your charger because it has better earodeeemanics." She said looking around shyly.
"Aerodynamics, sweetheart and that's not the exact words I used." Brian smirked as he walked into the garage corona in hand.
"Really babe I think the rats out if the bag with that one." I smiled as I walked up to Brian kissing him on the side of the head. We both looked over at Kayla as she giggled.
"Is something funny sweetheart?" I asked with a smile as I wrapped an arm around Brains waist.
"Boys have cooties." She giggled as she ran out of the garage yelling for Mia.
"Cooties huh, should I be worried about catching something." Brian laughed as he took a drink out of his beer.
"Nothing you don't already have baby." I smiled as I stuck my hand in his back pocket as we exited the garage. I was being good keeping my affections for Brian private. I knew Kayla had not gone far, last thing I needed was to come up with a cover story for a six year old.
I was right Kayla was standing in the back yard with Mia, Mia smiled at us as we walked out.
"Hey princess where's your mom at?" Brian asked Kayla as he sat down in one of the yard chairs.
"She said she had to work till my bed time, so I had to be good." I shook my head slightly annoyed, Kayla's mom was a nice woman, but not always the brightest when it came to her child, and how she reasoned it was smarter to leave her home alone then with a sitter was beyond me.
"Dom you going to start the grill today or are we all going to starve to death." Brain asked with a smirk as he looked back towards me his blue eyes shining.
"Yeah I got it, I know Mia made the burgers what exactly are you doing to help out?" I asked my handsome boyfriend as he grinned up at me like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland.
"I'm watching Kayla, the kid need some adult supervision." Wasn't that the truth?
" Yeah the key word in that sentence being adult Brian and you're just as likely to get yourself in trouble as she is, worst yet I can see you to getting into trouble together." Brian didn't comment only smiled at me. He knew I was right, but I never minded the little pranks Brian and Kayla got into together. They knew to leave me alone after I threatened to put food dye in Brains shampoo; Kayla on the other thought the idea was funny.
"You're just jealous because you don't know how to have fun like we do." I shook my head as I piled the charcoal in the grill before lighting it.
I watched as Kayla played with her toy ponies while the grill warmed up.
"Princess do you want a Hot Dog or a burger? I asked getting the little girls attention with the mention of food.
"Hot Dog please" she smiled
"You got it." I smirked as I watch Kayla get up and sneak behind Brian. He jumped slightly as she pounced on his back. She screamed and giggled as Brian flipped her over and tickled her. Moments like this in ways hurt my heart, Brian would be a wonderful father, and being with me that's one thing he will never be.
I turned back towards the grill as I waited for it to warm; I looked back over at Brian as he chased Kayla around the back yard. Yes it was a real shame he would never know true parenthood.
I was tired as hell by the time I slid into bed, I could hear Brian finishing up in the bathroom, I sat up as I waited for him to come to bed, going to bed was just about the only time I got alone with him and I wasn't about to give it up by falling asleep. Brian walked in the room in only his boxers; I took a moment to appreciate the sight before he slid into bed with me.
"See something you like baby?" he smirked as he pulled the sheets up just a little bit, leaving me an awesome view of his abs.
"Maybe I do." I smiled as I reached over kissing him softly.
"Really, what are you going to do about?" He asked as he propped himself up, that beautiful smirk never leaving his face.
"If I wasn't so damn tired there would be a lot I would do." He shook his head with a smile as I wrapped my arms around him pulling him tightly against me.
"You're getting old Dom, hell I was the one chasing after Kayla all evening." He turned his head and brushed his lips lightly against mine. One of the best things about being in a relationship with Brian was he understood that some night I was just too tired for play time, Letty on the other hand had not liked when I told her no. It had always turned into a fight, that thought made me even more thankful that Brian had found his way into my life.
"You do such a good job watching over that little girl, you would make an awesome father Brian." I said lying back looking at him as he relaxed next to me.
"So would you, but since that's not possible there's no reason to dwell on it." Brian said with a straight face, I could tell he had put some thought into this at one point.
"I just don't want you to miss out." I said as I laid back watching the expressions playing out on his face.
"Just stop this conversation right now Dom, I'm happy where I am." I instantly dropped the conversation, he was getting annoyed and the last thing I wanted was to push him away from me.
"I'm glad" I smirked as he leaned over brushing his lips against mine.
"Good now go to sleep; I want you rested for tomorrow night." For a moment I was confused. At least until he gave me that smirk that let me in on all the naughty things going on inside his head.
"Get to sleep Blondie; I'm not the only one getting old." Brian laughed as he snuggled down next to me.
"Really, I'm a lot younger then you buddy." I could only shake my head as I reached over shutting the light off. I pulled Brian as close as we could get without being naked. It didn't take long before his breaths evened out. I couldn't help kissing him on the cheek once more before joining him in the land of slumber.
I woke as a scream pierced through a wonderful dream I was having, I looked over at Brian he hadn't been disturbed by whatever I had heard. I sat up for a moment waiting to hear if the scream was something I imagined. It was quite nothing moved outside, I cursed my overactive imagination for waking me as I settled back down.
I laid back pulling Brian close again, I loved the times when I could just lay back and watch him sleep.
We both shot up as a gun went off next door, instantly we were both wide awake.
"What the fuck" Brian yelled as he reached for his gun, hidden his sock drawer. We both hurried into our clothes as fast as we possible could.
"I have no idea, I thought I heard a scream just when I woke up." we both bolted for stairs as a truck speed away squealing its tires. I saw the truck as it sped past the house, the driver not bothering to look towards Brian and me.
"Who the fuck was that" Brian asked as we both walked towards the sidewalk as the truck drove away. "Wait Dom do you hear that?" Brian asked as he hurried towards the fence. We both stopped dead in our tracks as we heard crying from the fence line next door. Kayla's mother Nancy lay on her back blood flowing from gunshots on her chest.
"Nancy what happened?" Brian instantly pulled out his phone and called 911 as I applied pressure to stop the bleeding.
"Oh Dominic they took her."
"Took who" my Stomach sank as I thought to the absence of little Kayla.
"They took my baby Dom; they look her because my ex owed money to the wrong people. They're going to sell her; please we need call the cops they have to find my baby before something bad happens to her." My heart hurt for that little baby, she must be so scared. I hated thinking of that sweet little child in the hands of thugs.
"The cops are on their way, we'll find Kayla." I growled thinking of the truck that sped away, it was a 80s model Chevy two toned white and brown. I kept replaying the details in my head knowing they were the only link we had to finding that sweet little girl that always bugged me to help work on my car.
I held Nancy's hand as the sirens grew closer. "Please Dom make sure they find my baby." She whispered as she grew weaker.
"I'm going to do everything in my power to bring that little girl home." It was a promise I made not only to Nancy but also to that little girl. Someone would pay for hurting that child and her mother, they just didn't know yet how much pain they were in for.
I watched as she slipped into unconsiness, I prayed that she could hang on long enough for the doctors to help her. That little girl needed someone to come home too beside Brian, Mia and myself. I held on to her hand till the ambulance showed up. I realized some of the officers must have known Brian because they instantly went to him to get the low down on the situation. These local PD wouldn't be able to track this kid in time, I only knew of one man who had the Intel to bring this baby home. Stepping away from Brian and the officer I pulled out my phone.
"Hobbs I need your help."
Should I continue this or not, it was just an idea I had floating around in my head.
