2 pairs; 1 couple.
"You asked Chris to leave us alone tonight." Brian said smugly as he hugged Mia from behind as she worked in the kitchen. She welcomed his hug and moaned in pleasure at him kissing her neck.
"Yeah, you owe me a massage." Mia said jokingly as she turned to him.
"I do." Brian plugged her mouth with a kiss. Chris and Vince walked in through the back door, interrupting the couple. Brian reluctantly broke the kiss and stared at Chris and Vince.
"Sorry, we'll be out in half an hour." Chris said as she took Vince's hand and led him through the kitchen. "Go get ready." She pushed Vince toward the basement where he lived. Chris went upstairs to shower.
"You hear that, thirty minutes, then I'm all yours." Mia said suggestively to Brian. He groaned in anticipation. He walked to the living room and watched TV counting the minutes, while Mia busied herself with the washing up; Brian joined her to dry a few minutes later. Thirty minutes passed and finally Chris came downstairs expecting Vince to be ready.
"Where's V?" Chris asked as she entered the kitchen.
"Still downstairs." Mia said casually as she turned to Chris.
"Damn, Chris, you tryin' to prematurely kill guys." Brian wolf whistled at Chris. Chris' straight blonde hair was free from the usual messy bun. As a tomboy Chris rarely dressed to impress; she wore what she felt comfortable in.
"You two be good now." Chris said grinning and winking at both of them. She walked downstairs and knocked on the door of the basement. "V, you ready?"
"Nah, come here." Vince asked. Chris entered and saw Vince throwing clothes around. He turned and saw Chris looking simple yet stunning in some low riding cargos and a black wife beater exposing a toned stomach. "Nice." He said as he smiled at her.
"What are you doin'?" Chris asked as she looked around the already messy room, strewn with clothes.
"I'm lookin' for the blue shirt you gave me." Vince said. "It's my favourite and the chicks dig it." He added tryin' not to sound too soppy. Chris looked around the room and went into the bathroom.
"Here." She said as she exited the bathroom and handed it to Vince. "You left it in there to steam didn't you?" He'd never 'steamed' shirts before but Chris always did it for him before they went out; it became a habit. Vince grunted at his crap memory, put on the shirt and smiled.
"You like?" Vince said as he tried his best to look good.
"I like. Can we go now?" Chris said adjusting the collar. "You smell nice."
"Yeah, some stuff Mia gave me." Vince said as he thought about Mia. He'd had a hard time with Mia over the past few months. Brian's return wasn't exactly what he had in mind for his future plans with Mia. Mia, however, set him straight. After years of trying to get it into his mind that she wasn't going to be his; the return of Brian settled it for both. Vince resented the fact that Brian had Mia's love, that he ruined their lives and drove away the only family he had. Mia pleaded with him to give Brian and Chris a chance on their arrival back in LA and he did. He took Chris around the waist and they left to go to the club.
As they heard the door slam and Chris' RX-8 driving off Brian grabbed Mia and pulled her towards him. "Finally." he said. He picked Mia up and she giggled. Brian took her upstairs and into their room. He put her down and cupped her face in his hands, gently kissing her; she returned the favour deepening the kiss. His hands travelled down to her tank top and slowly lifted it over her head, breaking the kiss for a few seconds as she removed his t-shirt. They continued to kiss as he walked her backwards toward their bed; he softly pushed her onto the bed and lay on top of her. He revelled in the fact that he was going to have her in a few moments. Their tender kiss broke as he removed her shorts. She whimpered at his touch and they moaned at what was coming. Mia and Brian made love, he was always gentle with her; she sometimes wished he was more forceful, but felt embarrassed to tell him.
Chris and Vince arrived at Club Poison. They exited the car and walked towards the entrance. "Hey Jake!" Chris said gleefully as she greeted the bouncer. "You wanna let a girl in?" Jake smiled at her and lifted the red chord.
"Nice to see you Chris. You too Vince. Have a good night." Jake replied as he allowed them to enter.
"Well V, you got a whole buffet." Chris exclaimed as she pointed to the crowds of women and laughed.
"Yeah, coronas first; chicks later." He said as he walked to the bar; Chris following him also wanting a drink. He got to the bar and offered the only seat to Chris; she sat down and the bartender walked over. He looked at Chris with a flirtatious grin.
"What can I get you Chris?" The bartender asked.
"Two coronas." Vince interjected. Chris was a very social person and knew loads of people. She was friendly and likeable, but he still felt protective over her, especially around men. The bartender looked at him and nodded. He got their coronas and put them on the bar. Vince reached into his pocket and realised forgot his wallet.
"Guess it's on me." Chris chuckled at Vince's forgetfulness. As soon as the beers touched the bar, Chris and Vince had started to down them. Chris finished first, jumped off the stool and grabbed Vince by the hand. "Let's dance. Show these girls what they're missing." She said as she led him into the crowd.
"I don't dance." Vince said as she dragged him through the crowd.
"V, you didn't think we came to a club to sit at the bar all night did ya?" She gave him a questioning look. "Don't answer that." She got to an open space on the floor and turned to Vince. "Come on, you're not gonna leave me alone are ya?" Vince hesitated before putting his hands on her hips and started to dance. As he danced with Chris he got closer and closer; as they moved rhythmically to the beat. Awhile later Chris noticed a few girls checking Vince out as she turned to him and smiled. "You got some fans." Vince looked around and Chris left, leaving him to be taken over by them. Before he could protest her leaving him, she was at the bar and a girl came over to Vince. They danced as Chris ordered another corona. She flirted with the bartender.
"Chris, my leg hurts like a bitch." Vince said wincing in pain as he limped over.
"Over worked yourself V?" Chris asked mocking his fitness, even though she knew he had been going without his pain medication. "Wanna go home?"
"Yeah." Vince said before grabbing Chris' corona and gulping it all down. Chris nodded, put her arm around his waist and slung his arm over her shoulders. She helped him to the car, got in and drove home. It was only 10pm; she hoped Mia and Brian had had their fun.
"So, who was she?" Chris asked genuinely interested.
"Who?" Vince asked as he rubbed his leg.
"The girl V." Chris said slowly as if pointing out his stupid question.
"Oh, I dunno, we danced, I left." Vince briefed.
"V! That's not the way to make a girl feel special." She shook her head.
"I was in pain Chris. She can feel special some other night." Vince sighed heavily; the girl feeling special was the last thing on his mind. Chris simply laughed. They arrived home and Chris helped Vince downstairs.
"You want me to get you some painkillers?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, lots of 'em." Vince exaggerated his pain as he got angry at his leg. Chris went upstairs to find Brian in the kitchen.
"Jesus Brian, you tryin' to give me a heart attack?" Chris jumped at him standing there in the dark. He chuckled at her.
"You're home early." Brian commented with a questioning look on his face.
"Yeah sorry. We didn't interrupt did we?" Brian shook his head no. "Vince was in pain from dancin', so we came home." She opened the fridge and got a bottle of water. "You know where his meds are?"
"Uh, yeah top shelf." Chris noticed Brian looking distracted. She reached in the top shelf and got Vince's medication.
"You okay?" She questioned Brian. He sighed. "Wait two minutes, I'll be back." Chris jogged downstairs and gave Vince the bottled water and his meds. "Goodnight V." She kissed him on the head and jogged back upstairs returning to the kitchen. "So?" she asked looking at Brian.
"So…" he breathed deep before continuing. "I was thinking about asking Mia to marry me." He rushed before taking a sip of his water, avoiding Chris' gaze. She smiled and noticed the less than enthusiastic look on his face, seeing no reason for him not to be happy, she jumped to conclusion.
"Did you get her pregnant Bri?" she asked as she cocked an eyebrow. Brian choked on his water.
"What?" he asked between trying to swallow and breathe.
"Well you said it like it's some kinda duty. Why aren't you happy?" Chris asked, obvious that 'no' was the answer to her previous question.
"I am happy, I want to marry her. Just I'm not sure if I wanna do it without Dom knowing. Last thing he'd want is to see me and Mia back together, much less fuckin' married." Brian confessed his fear.
"Bri, Mia loves you and you love her, obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have to leave the house every now and then." She quipped at their constant requests for her to give them time alone. "Dom'll just have to live with it. He ain't here so he doesn't get a vote." Chris said. Brian was still reluctant at the thought of what Dom would do to him, but he knew Chris made sense. She was straight and always said what she meant; she didn't waste time with ifs, ands or buts. Brian cleared his throat and nodded to himself. He bit his bottom lip at the thought of when he was going to do it. "Congrats." Chris smiled. He smiled back, and gave her a hug; he held her for a minute.
"Night." Brian said as he kissed her forehead.
"Night." Chris said as Brian left the kitchen. She went upstairs after locking the doors and got into bed.
The next morning Mia was downstairs making breakfast when Vince peered in like a bear foraging for food. "Morning Vince. Did you have fun last night?" Mia asked noticing the pained expression on his face and mistook it for a hangover.
"Yeah before my leg gave me shit. We bailed." Vince said as Mia put his breakfast in front of him. He thanked her and gorged on the bacon and eggs.
"Your leg okay, man?" Brian asked as he slapped Vince on the back. He kissed Mia and snatched his plate from her hands.
"Yeah." Vince managed before continuing his feast.
"Slow down you ass." Chris walked in and playfully slapped Vince. She walked over to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water, opened it and drank.
"Where you going all dressed up like that." Mia asked referring to Chris' semi-formal look of jeans, a top and a fitted jacket.
"Oh, I'm gonna go see my parents and with any luck I'll pass off as being their trophy daughter to be showcased at the annual dinner attended by L.A.'s finest." Chris said mockingly in a stern upper class tone. Mia and Brian laughed.
"You want us to meet you at the races?" Brian asked.
"I can't race tonight; I'll only be back tomorrow." Chris asked.
"You said we were gonna work on the Maxima." Vince said solemnly.
"Shit V, I'm sorry. I completely forgot." Chris walked over to Vince and hugged him. "I'll make it up to you I promise." She kissed him on the cheek and waited for him to accept.
"Yeah. That mean I'm partyin' without you tonight?" Vince asked realising she won't be there for the traditional after race party. Chris nodded apologetically.
"You can get laid." Chris joked and Vince smirked at her.
"Yeah, the party." Mia sighed as she knew she would be cleaning again.
"Don't worry Mi, I'll help ya clean." Chris joked. "Okay gotta go. I'll see you guys tomorrow." As she walked out she ruffled Vince's hair and he nodded a bye, mouth still stuffed with food.
"Bye." Mia and Brian said in unison. They heard Chris drive off and Mia started cleaning.
"We gotta go see Jesse today; I bought some flowers for his grave." Mia stated to the two men.
"Yeah, we'll go do that." Vince said as he took a gulp of his water to wash down his food. "Thanks Mia."
"You're welcome…" Mia was interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Probably Chris; forgot her keys again." Brian said as he got up and walked to the front door.
