Nobody's POV

The next day, after Brian worked at Harry's for a couple of hours, he went to help Dom get the Japan shipments from Harry's garage and take them back to Dom's.

"Tell me what you think about this." Jesse asks Brian as he puts in a Supra design into the computer. Jesse then explains everything that he can do to the car while Brian stared at the screen and then stared at Jesse amazed.

"Man. You should be goin to M.I.T. or something!" Brian exclaims.

Jesse looks at Brian and said, "Yeah. Right. I got that...uh, what is it called... That attention disorder..."

"A.D.D." Brian informs Jesse and Jesse replies, "Yesss...that shit."

"You know, I was good in Algebra and Math and shit. And everything else, I failed. Dropped out of school. I don't know. It's something about engines that...uh...calms me down. You know." Jesse explains.

Brian just stared in awe as he bonded with Jesse.

Dom called Leon, Letty, and Vince and told them to buy some groceries and then told Brian and Jesse to come over for a barbecue.

Once Leon, Letty, and Vince got to the Toretto house with the groceries, Vince saw Brian and immediately said, "I'm out of here." while pushing the groceries into Leon and Letty's hands and then walking back to his car.

Dom saw this and yelled out, "Vince! Why don't you come help us out?!"

"Looks like you have all the help you need brother!" Vince yelled back and then got in his car and took off.

Dom shook his head and went back to grilling.

"Mia!" Dom yelled but was interrupted as she laughed and said, "Alright! I'm out here already!"

Mia then made her way over to Dom while holding a salad and Dom gave her a hug that made them laugh. Brian came out with the Corona's, Jesse came out with the food and Leon and Letty were helping Dom with the grill.

Once they all sat at the table with the food and drinks, Jesse was the first to touch the food so Dom said, "Hey. Hold up. Now since you were the first to reach in for the chicken, you say grace."

Brian looked at Dom a little surprised, seeing that Dom wasn't all big and bad like people made him out to be.

Jesse then started out, "Dear Heavenly..."

"Spirit!" Leon helps Jesse out. "Spirit. Thank you." Jesse says to Leon.

"Uh...Thank you for providing us with the direct port Nitrous...uh...injection." Jesse starts out and Brian starts to smile thinking 'Who is this kid praying to?'

"Four corner in coolers and barb wire in-turbos. And um...titanium valve springs. Thank you." Jesse finished. But while Jesse was praying, Brian looked around the table until his eyes landed on Mia.

Mia did the same, and when her eyes met with Brian's, they smiled at each other, but the moment was interrupted when Letty started clapping and everyone said Amen.

"Not bad! Not bad." Dom exclaims with a smile to Jesse.

Everyone started laughing as Letty said, "He was praying to the car Gods man!" and then they passed the food around and started to eat.

"Look who it is! Ol' coyote's R US. Haha! I thought you weren't hungry, pumpkin!" Leon says to Vince as he sees him walking slowly towards the table.

Vince then looked down as he said, "You know, I gotta eat."

"He's always hungry!" Letty exclaims. Dom then thinks for a moment and then gives in as he said, "Alright. Sit down."

Vince then walks up to Dom and kisses the back of Dom's bald head and sits down. It got awkward very quickly as Vince took Brian's beer and took a waterfall from it and once he placed it down on the table, Brian took a long sip from it.

"Let's eat some grub man!" Letty exclaims, trying to lighten the mood.

After everyone ate, Mia disappeared into the kitchen with Brian and everyone sat in the living room to watch a movie.

"Need help with anything else?" Brian asked as he set down the plate with chicken on it.

Mia was washing the dishes as she said, "No I'm good! You can, uh, join the boys and go watch the movie."

Brian then grabs a towel and says, "Yeah we'll see, the cook doesn't clean where I come from." as he helps Mia out by drying the dishes that she washes.

"Yeah, well I'd like to go there." Mia states as she continues to wash the dishes.

It was quiet for a few seconds with Brian and Mia sneaking peeks at each other until Brian said confidently, "We should go out sometime."

Mia then blushes a little and then says, "No, I don't...I don't date my brothers friends."

"Well that sucks...I guess Ima have to kick his ass then." Brian jokes.

Mia giggles and says, "Oh, I would love to see that one. No, I would, I would pay to see that one actually!"

Vince then walks his drunk self into the kitchen to make some popcorn and when he sees Brian looking back at him, he starts to laugh.

"Wash my car when your done!" Vince laughs out as he puts the popcorn bag in the microwave.

Mia then gets pissed and says aloud, "What was that?!"

"Nah Mia. I'm talkin to the punk. And wear your favorite dress cause when your done I'll put you on the street where you belong, cutie!" Vince exclaims.

Mia thinks for a minute and then says, "Hey, V. V, what was that Cuban restaurant you wanted to take me to? You know, the one with the Picadio and the red candles and food all over the place. What was it called?"

"Cha cha cha!" Vince said happily, thinking that Mia finally liked him, but boy was he wrong.

"Yeah that's it!... Well, you can take me there! Friday night at ten. Is that good for you?" Mia explains to Brian.

Brian then stares into Mia's brown eyes and says, "Yeah it's perfect."

"Good!" Mia says happily as she stares back into Brian's blue ones. Vince then gets pissed and hits the door as he re-enters the living room.

"What. No popcorn?" Jesse asks confused. Vince then yells, "Make your own damn popcorn!"

Brian's POV

Mia and I just stared at each other as Vince left the room.

"Did you do that just because he was in the room or because you wanted to take me up on my offer of taking you out?" I ask while still staring into her beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

Mia smirks and says, "It was a little bit of both. But mostly, I just wanted to take you up on that date."

We continue to stare into one another's eyes and smile until Mia looked down, tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear and said, "I should finish washing these dishes. And your gonna help me cause 1)Your taking me out and 2)I don't need you going to the living room where Vince will try to kick your ass...Again."

"Kick my ass? Oh please. I won that fight in front of your café!" I say honestly and all Mia does is giggle.

Once we were finished cleaning the dishes, Mia asked, "Want me to take you home?"

"No. It's fine. I can walk." I assure her, but she grabs her keys and pushes me out the back door as she yelled, "Dom, I'll be back in 10 minutes!"

I chuckled and think 'Damn, she's stubborn'.

"Mia, I said I was fine..." I start to say but got interrupted as she said, "Can you just let me take you home?!"

I then look into her eyes and smirk and said, "If you insist."

We get in the car and Mia drives me home, but before I get out of her car, I say, "Thanks for today Mia. The barbecue was great. Hope we can do it again sometime."

"Me too." Mia reply with a smile. I then lean in an kiss her on her cheek slowly and when I leaned back we stared at each other longingly.

"Night Mia." I said in a hush tone and she replies, "Night Bri."

That's the first time that she's used a nickname for me, so I smiled and got out her car and watched as she drove off. Man, do I have it bad for this girl...

Jaelene's POV

Today was ok I guess. I raced for the first time and came in second place. Brandon was making excuses for me and said it was cause something in the car was loose.

I was still kind of upset because my brother haven't called in like 3 days and I was beginning to get worried.

But that worry faded once I heard Brian's ringtone chime from my phone.

"Hey stranger." I say in a sassy voice.

"Hey. Why do you sound upset?" Brian asks in a half concerned half knowing voice.

I scoff as I replied, "Oh, I don't know...Maybe because my brother doesn't call any more! Or because he's to busy playing house with his new family! OR MAYBE BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DONT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR BABY SISTER ANYMORE!"

My eyes start to tear up as Brian said, "Jae, calm down! Where is this all coming from?"

"I don't know! But I do know that I've called you for the past 3 days! And not once have you called back to just say hi or I'm fine, but I'm a little busy with work! I was scared Brian! Do I even matter to you anymore, or are you so hung up on that girl Mia that you can't even call to see how your little sister is doing?!" I yell into the phone.

Brian was about to speak, but I interrupted him and said as calmly as possible, "You know what Brian, I gotta go. Have fun with whatever 'job' your doing. Just remember who your real family is." And with that I hung up.

"That sounded intense. Wanna talk about it?" Brandon asks as he sits on my bed.

I look at him with tears in my eyes and say, "I just-...I just miss him so much and it seems like he doesn't have time to call me and catch up with me anymore! And I know that I sound selfish, but he was always there for me when I needed him. But now that we're hundreds of miles away, he can't even call?!"

Brandon doesn't say anything as he pulls me into his arms, letting me cry on his shoulder.

"What am I doing wrong Bran?" I ask with a shaky voice.

"Your not doing anything wrong, ok! Just give it some time. He'll come around and call everyday and then you'll get annoyed that he keeps calling you and you'll realize that your both ok. And there's no need to worry." Brandon assures me.

I smile at him with tears streaming down my face and say, "I'm glad your here with me. What would I do without you?"

"Nothing! You'll probably still be living in L.A. with those people you had to call mom and dad." Brandon says jokingly as he wipes my tears away.

We shared a couple of laughs and then went to bed. I kind of feel bad that I overreacted on Bri like that.

I guess I'm just jealous that the people he's working for can see him and talk to him everyday and I can't do anything but call him and hear his voice for a short period of time.

I guess I'm a selfish, jealous baby sister who will always need her big brother...
