**Chapter Eleven**
"HOLY HECK BETH! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Corrin screamed as she ran up to Adrian and hugged her.
"HAHA told ya we had a surprise for ya!" Adrian said as she hugged Corrin back.
"HEY! Where's my hug?" Tiana asked appearing from behind the door.
Corrin's eyes began to well up. "Tiana!" She screamed in excitement. "Oh my gosh." The girls looked at her, smiles on their faces. "Come in," she yelled as she dragged them inside.
"Woohoo, nice place Cazz. Since when did you grow taste?" Tiana said as she dumped her suitcase inside the door.
Corrin smiled and tightened the sheet around her. "Since I left you losers back home. How the hell did you find me?"
Adrian flopped down on the couch and lifted her feet on the table. "We paid a visit to ol' ma and pa O'Conner in Tucson and they gave us your address."
Corrin couldn't believe her eyes. The whole past twenty-four hours seemed so surreal. "I can't believe it." She said as she sat down on the couch with them.
Tiana looked Corrin up and down, her green eyes trying to focus on Corrin's choice of apparel. "Mate, what are you wearing?"
The smile on Corrin's face disappeared as she remembered Dom was in the shower. "Uh, well I uh.." she mumbled.
"Do you have company Corrin?" Adrian said, her attention being grabbed.
Corrin's face went as red as the sheet as she tried to find the words to explain to her best friends.
"Well, who is he? What's he like? Is he good in bed?" Tiana said having a seat beside Corrin.
"Aw come on you guys, please. Just because my personal life is more exciting than yours will ever be doesn't mean I'm gonna offload every detail of it onto you." Corrin said standing up as the two girls hounded her. "You wanna drink?"
"Corrin? Are you coming? The water's getting cold." Dom complained as he walked out of the bathroom. He had been wiping his face, water still dripping down his chest and a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked up and saw Adrian and Tiana standing there, wide-eyed.
"Uh, Dom these are my mates from back home who are paying me a surprise visit. That's Tiana and that's Adrian. Girls this is Dom." Corrin said slowly, feeling his embarrassment.
"Hi." Tiana said, offering him a little wave.
He scratched the back of his head in a nervous action. "How's it." He mumbled quietly feeling like a fool. "I'm just gonna get changed." He told Corrin as he held his towel and walked upstairs.
Corrin waited for him to close the door and the curtains.
"Mate what a hunny!" Adrian said turning to Corrin. "How the hell did you score him?"
"Uh guys, that's Dom, as in Dominic, as in Dominic Toretto the guy I've been arguing with for like ages." Corrin sighed as she sat down. 'Wait for it, wait for it.'
"That asshole!" Tiana shouted quietly.
'There it goes.' "He's not an asshole, we've sorted things out. Everything's cool between us now." Corrin smiled thinking about the amazing night they had.
Adrian and Tiana looked at each other. "You mean we just flew all that way for nothing?"
Corrin threw her hands up in defence, "Hey man I never told you to. But I'm glad you did." She hugged her friends then remembered Dom upstairs. "You guys make yourselves at home, you don't need me to tell you that and I'll be down in a second."
Corrin ran upstairs desperately trying to keep her sheet wrapped around her. She opened the door, not a second thought crossed her mind and was greeted by Dom tying the laces on his boots. "Hey, you off?" Corrin asked as she sat beside him.
"Uh yeah, you've got company and I guess I better get back to those others." He reached over and kissed her on the lips as he got up. "I'll call you later." He said as he pulled his jacket on.
"Famous last words." Corrin laughed as he walked out her bedroom door.
Dominic laughed and stopped in her doorway. "Hey. I just succeeded in getting you back, do you think I wouldn't call?" He flashed her that once in a while cute smile and continued walking down the stairs. "See you girls later." He smiled as he walked out the door.
"HEY CORRIN! WE'RE JUST GONNA HEAD DOWN TO MC'DS. YOU WANT ANYTHING?" Adrian yelled as she pulled out her wallet from her pocket.
"NA MAN I'M COOL. SEE YOU GIRLS IN A BIT!" Corrin yelled back as she scrambled around her room for something to wear today.
She heard the door below close and sighed in relief. She examined her room and smiled slightly. It wasn't all that bad, could have been worse. She found herself a pair of dark blue denim jeans and a baby blue sleeveless turtleneck and ran downstairs to have her shower.
By the time she was out and dressed and had begun cleaning her house the girls had come back and looked sufficiently tired. "You guys crashing with me while you're over here?" Corrin asked as she cleared the dishes from last night.
"Like you needed to even ask. Where do you want our stuff?" Adrian said as she ruffled her long burgundy hair.
"Uh, there's two spare bedrooms there so fight it out over who gets what." Corrin said pointing off into the direction of the rooms.
Tiana nodded and walked over, pulling open one of the doors. Immediately she was greeted with a pile of boxes and wrapping paper at her feet. She looked down then up. "Corrin?"
Corrin looked up from the kitchen bench. "Yeah?" She saw the boxes and laughed at the sight. "Well, maybe they could both do with a little clean out." She offered as she walked over and began clearing the boxes.
Mia looked out the window as she heard the low rumble of his car pull up the driveway. "He's here, he's here." Mia yelped in excitement. She tapped Vince on his knee to make him stop staring out the window and they all retired to their places of comfort like they were so innocent.
Dom walked in, whistling to himself. Something he never did.
"Whassup bro." Leon nodded as Dom walked in the door.
Dom smiled. "Not a lot brother, not a lot." He took a seat in his armchair and watched the game that was on the TV.
Mia stared intently at him, trying to see if what she could read all over his face was really what he was feeling.
Dom saw her staring at him but tried not to say anything. Everyone was quiet except for the TV. Only one person could cut the tension in the air.
"WHAT UP IN DA HOUSE!" Letty yelled as she walked through the front door, closely followed by Jasper. "Hey, what ya'll lookin' so serious for?" she laughed as she walked into the living room.
Mia slumped back in her chair and Dom let out a small snicker. Letty looked from her to him back at her. "Aw, what agonising torture you puttin' my girl through this time Dom?" Letty asked as she sat down.
"Sup' boys." Jasper said as they sat down and did their handshakes.
Dominic shook his head a little and laughed. "Mia's bustin' to know how last night went. But she aint gonna know cos it ain't none of her business." He said mocking her. He laughed again at Mia's pissed off face.
"Why, what happened last night?" Letty asked, still looking confused.
"He went to Corrin's for dinner and never came home." Mia sulked.
Letty laughed. "Shit girl, that one's easy. He got laid!" she plainly stated.
"OOOOhhhhhh!" All of the boys wailed when they heard that and pointed at Dom. "Man, you are the shit brother." Vince said as he slapped hands with Dom.
Mia looked around at how all the guys were congratulating Dom on his triumphant win and laughed a little. Seeing how genuinely excited they were made her laugh even more.
"Spare me the details bro, don't be forgettin' she's my sister." Brian said as he stopped Dom before he could relive the events of the past night.
Dom laughed and finally felt at ease. "Na O'Conner. These lips are sealed." He looked over at Mia and offered her a smile. "I'm sorry Mia, but the look on your face was worth it!"
Mia's small frown spread to a grin. "You're forgiven. At least you guys are playing nice."
Dom smiled. "Yeah well, that's why I wanted to invite her over for dinner tonight. All of us, we'll have a barbeque or something. You in Jaz?" Dom asked as he rose from his seat and began walking toward the kitchen.
"If you're twisting my arm bro I'll be there." Jasper laughed. Everyone rose from their seats, each knowing what had to be done and began to get ready for the night.
"HOLY HECK BETH! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Corrin screamed as she ran up to Adrian and hugged her.
"HAHA told ya we had a surprise for ya!" Adrian said as she hugged Corrin back.
"HEY! Where's my hug?" Tiana asked appearing from behind the door.
