A/N
Things are heating up again for some more big drama and Han is in the middle of it all. Hope you enjoy please read and review!
"So where the races at tonight?" Han asked looking at Dom.
"We are not racing tonight," he responded. I turned around so I could look at him.
"Why not?" I asked disappointed.
"First of all your car is no longer race ready since you hit the wall, and second after the stunts pulled by Rez we are just playing it safe tonight. He is a hot head and having you safe at home will be better than prancing you off at the race," Dom responded holding me tighter.
I wiggled free from his arms and stood up. "No fair, I like going and I don't have to race. It is fun just going and watching. Hiding is lame," I said folding my arms across my chest.
"This is not debatable it is a well thought out choice," he said staying firm.
"Want to fill me in on what happened exactly?" Han asked leaning back in his chair preparing for another story.
"No I do not," I said stomping my heels loudly as I headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Dom asked standing up.
"For a walk down the beach not that it is any of your business," I said not turning around.
"Stop walking," he demanded. I turned to see him walking towards me.
"You can't walk alone on the beach when Rez is looking for you. What if he found you there alone, it would be an easy grab and it would be a lot more difficult to get you back," Dom said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"I want some time to think," I said lowering my tone so only Dom could hear me.
"Do you want to go home?" he asked trying to be compassionate.
"Home?" I asked not sure where that was.
"My house, we can go to Brian's and get your stuff and then move you in. What do you think?" he asked.
"Can we do it later, my feet hurt and I just need to relax," I said frowning slightly.
"Get those shoes off your feet then," he said picking me up. I couldn't help but laugh.
"I like my stripper shoes," I said wrapping my arms around his neck. I kissed him for a long minute before he put me down.
"What is going on here?" I heard a strange voice ask. I turned and recognized Tej. He was smiling at us. Dom walked over to him and they did a hand shake fist bump type deal. "I'm headed to water race wars down on the beach thought I would see if you guys are in?" he asked looking around at everyone working.
"Were too busy for a break, Kaz has set us back and we need to catch up," Dom said glancing over at me.
"Yea alright man, I will catch you later," he said "pounding it" and heading for the door.
"Wait I want to go to the beach," I said looking at Tej and then Dom. Dom was about to object but I frowned so he didn't say anything.
"Alright baby girl you can hit it with me," he said walking over to me. But when he saw the look on Dom's face he hesitated. "If that's cool?" he said confused by Dom's silent objection.
"She has some unwanted attention on her right now and I don't want anything happening," Dom explained. Tej laughed and put his arm around me.
"I can keep her safe, I own that beach, nothing will happen," he said confidently. Dom seemed to agree, Tej knew everyone and everyone liked him so if Rez was going to try something there would be more people around on Tej's side to help out. Dom reluctantly nodded. I skipped over to him happy that I would be able to get some free time.
"Thank you," I said leaning up and kissing him. I turned to leave with Tej but Dom wrapped his arms around me and pulled me back.
"Don't go getting you hurt," he said kissing me again.
"I promise," I agreed. He released me after one last kiss. "Oh and try and fix my car while I'm gone," I said smirking at him. He slapped my ass hard as I walked away. "Hey that hurt," I said in surprise. He shrugged and walked back to where Han was.
"You ready girl?" Tej asked putting his arm over my shoulder casually. I nodded and we headed for the beach. Everyone either said hi or stopped to talk with Tej as we walked the beach. We reached where water skiers and boats were preparing to race. Being around all the people was giving me a head ache. Tej was revving up the growing crowd talking through a megaphone. Money was being collected as the race grew closer to starting.
"I'm going to go grab water," I said leaning close to Tej so he could hear me.
"Yea alright," he responded.
I headed away from the crowd quickly making my way towards the rocks where no one would be. I sank into the sand and laid back soaking up the lowering sun. I put my phone on my chest expecting a call soon enough with a stressed somebody asking where I was. Soon enough my phone started vibrating… it was Dom's name flashing.
"Hello," I said sweetly.
"Where are you? Tej just called saying he lost you in the crowd," Dom said urgently.
"I'm fine I just needed some peace so I walked down the beach a little," I said calmly.
"I told you I didn't want you alone. Something could happen," Dom said his tone becoming angrier.
"You told me that you shot Rez and Raster. I don't think they will be chilling on the beach any time soon. Plus they only have Cami's car so they will have other things to worry about for awhile. Just let me have some alone time," I said trying to make him understand. I heard him huff angrily. "Can I just have an hour and then I will come home," I said in a sweet voice.
"No, where are you I'm coming now," he demanded.
"Down by the rocks at the end of the beach," I said reluctantly. I closed the phone before he could respond. I knew he would be angry and I wanted to enjoy the next fifteen minutes I had alone. Before I knew it I saw Dom walking towards me. I sat up and half smiled at him.
"Hey Dom," I said in a quiet tone. I didn't want him to be angry with me.
He sat down next to me and didn't speak. I crawled onto his lap and leaned into him. He dug his hands into the sand leaning back slightly. We sat there together for almost an hour before he finally spoke. "Are you ready to go home?" he whispered. I nodded and he stood up with me in his arms. He gently placed me on my feet and we walked back. I grabbed his hand and walked a step closer to him.
"Thank you for giving me some time to think," I said lightly.
"You don't need to be alone anymore," he replied.
"I don't want to be anymore," I agreed. He leaned down and kissed me softly and we made our way to the crowded beach party. The sun was just about gone and the beach was already light with twinkling lights and the air was filled with blaring music. "Hey…" I said getting an idea. "Wanna dance?" I asked pulling him closer to me swaying to the music. He placed his hands on my hips and moved with me. The songs seemed to change but Dom and I never changed how we were dancing. It wasn't so hardcore like I usually danced; it was light and easy going. I just continued to stare at Dom and wonder how this all happened to me. How could I have found him so fast? I felt a tap and tore my eyes off Dom.
"What's up Han," I asked looking at him surprised. The easy going Miami tone fit Han perfectly. He fit in flawlessly here. I could even see two girls waiting for his return. I smiled internally.
"Can I cut in?" he asked looking at Dom. Dom smiled and agreed, he released me but kissed me before heading towards the bar. Han put his hands securely around my hips and I gently placed my hands around his neck and we began moving to the beat.
"I need a favor," he said after a moment. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Why am I not surprised? What is the favor?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"I need you to go to the race with me tonight," he responded.
"Han you heard Dom, there is no way he will let me go tonight. You have not been gone that long even you must remember Dom's word is law," I answered.
"Good thing we are both law breakers than," he said smiling.
"Why do you even need me to go?" I asked reluctantly.
"I have never been on these streets and since the team is taking tonight off I need a little credit and what will get me more respect than rolling with Torreto's new girl?" he asked eyeing me.
"Even if I wanted to do that, there is no way I can get away from Dom. I'm staying at his place now so I think he will notice if I'm not in bed with him," I said obviously.
"Ah but I have a plan," he said twirling me and pulling me back closer.
"Do tell I said quietly," I said unable to resist a plan of Han's.
"It is simple, take Dom home early and work some hard hitting magic that will leave Dom dead tired. Then you can oh so easily slip on some clothes… or not and meet me outside," he said.
"First of all I don't know how I feel about using sex to help you… seems kinky. Secondly when Dom first falls asleep he keeps a very secure grip around me," I said pointing out his flaws.
"Come on Kaz, you know you love living on the edge. Don't tell me that you have gone soft now?" he asked.
I couldn't help the challenge. "Fine, I'm in. Pick me up at midnight," I agreed. Han smiled and twirled me straight into Dom. "Are you ready to leave?" I asked after I recovered from my not so graceful moment. He nodded and we walked back towards the garage. When we arrived everyone was gone and the shop was closed. I got in the Charger and we headed back to Dom's.
"We should invite the guys over for a movie night," I said sitting down at the counter.
"Yea alright," he said grabbing a Corona from the refrigerator. I called everyone up and they were over in no time. We popped in an action movie and the guys began relaxing out by the couches munching on pop corn. Mia and I made snacks and kept the guys happy. I made sure Dom always had a beer, it would be easier to sneak out if he was in a drunk sleep.
"Are you staying at Brian's again?" I asked Mia when we were relaxing in the kitchen.
"No not tonight, I miss my own bed," she joked. I internally screamed, things just became more popular. "Plus waking up to Rome is not exactly the most relaxing morning," she said with a laugh. I nodded and started working on a new plan that I would need to come up with.
