Chapter 4
He had been searching for weeks, months, years and he hadn't even needed to leave his neighborhood. His dealers were being smart, using the new toys and methods he designed for them. Pimps were managing the girls on the streets and Oscar his second in command was managing the house, which was bringing in significantly more than expected. Even some of the cops had gone crooked and were paying to be with one of his girls. Natasha the Russian Minx seemed to be the favorite for now though many of his higher paying customers were wondering when the hot new catch, Alex the Angel would be in stock. He hated to disappoint but ensured them that he had his boys on the case. There was a point about a year back when he thought they had her. She had been bunkered down in a crap shoot motel working as a sales assistant at a tourist shop in Florida. He remembered getting the call, telling him that she had just barely got away. The rage, the fury that had flowed through him burned his veins like magma and he had thrown a lamp and shattered the picture he had of her hanging on his office wall. The broken frame still lay on the floor, glass scattered around it. Where the hell are you? He thought as he stared angrily at the blonde in the photo.
"Mr. Ridge, " The security guard said through the door, "Miss Alice is ready to service you."
"Send her in." A girl of barely twenty walked into his office. His eyes danced over her knee high socks, short plaid skirt and revealing top, as he leaned back in his chair, intertwining his fingers behind his head. "Are you ready to be serviced Mr. Ridge?" She asked, her voice sounded so innocent and child-like it brought goose bumps to his skin. He simply grinned.
"Please, call me Gaven."
Alex stood in doorway a little bewildered. She wasn't entirely sure of what to say or how to behave. She had spent the past three years running; desperately trying to make sure she didn't form any attachments or leave a trail of acquaintances. She had been very careful not to all anyone that close; careful not to date or develop romantic emotions or even experience the pleasure of a one night stand and yet here was this man, this kind, this gentle, this beautiful, beautiful man asking her out to dinner tomorrow night. Many thoughts raced through her head. She wondered if she was ready, wondered if it was appropriate. Finally a moment of clarity flashed into her head and she said, "I work tomorrow night."
"We can go after work."
"I'll be out late. I don't want to keep you away from your son."
He nodded, understanding although the wheels and gears were turning within his mind. "How about Friday night then?"
Friday night she had off. Friday night she could at the very least try. A smile formed on her face, "Friday night will work out great." She said. He returned her smile with one of his own. "Great, I'll see you then." He said, after a few moments he took a step back. "Goodnight Alex."
"Goodnight Brian." She watched him shove his hands into his pockets after making sure the screen door closed behind him and he headed back towards his home. Once she was sure he was far enough away she locked the screen door and then proceeded to lock every bolt on the door to her room. Taking a step back she took a few breaths, finally realizing that she hadn't done so often whilst talking to Brian. She sat down on her bed as the fact of the matter hit her.
"I have a date Friday night." She said to herself in a surprised and quiet tone.
At the Toretto household Dom was hanging out in the kitchen with Jack, waiting for Letty to finish cooking dinner. "Hey guys." Brian said as he came in and scooped up Jack, gently tossing him in the air and then pretending to nibble at his sons' stomach. "Hey little man, how was your day?" Jack giggled and squealed, happy that his father had come home. Toy cars scattered all over the table and Jack reached out to play with them after Brian sat down and set Jack on his lap, a smile on each of their faces.
"You seem to be in a good mood." Letty pointed on slyly, "Something happen while you were away?"
Brian grinned; his blue eyes were lit up with excitement. Dom chuckled at him, figuring Brian needed and maybe wanted some prodding at that moment. "So what'd you do all day?" He asked. Brian's grin widened and he went on to explain, "Well, we got a lot of painting done and got everything set up, so she's good to go and all moved in and we've got a date set up for this Friday night."
Letty nearly spun so fast the sauce on her spoon splattered onto the countertop. "Brian that's great." She told him and gave him a small hug, distracted by her excitement, before returning to wipe the counter off. Dom smiled and studied Brian for a moment. He was happy for his brother-in-law to be interested in someone. "Do you think you're ready for this?" He asked. Dom wanted to make sure that Brian was going to be ok. He didn't want either him, Jack or even Alex to end up getting her.
"Yeah…" Brian said, sounding surprisingly calm about the matter, "I figured it's about time I at least try. Right?"
Dom smiled and nodded his head slowly. "That you are Brian, that you are."
