A/N: Another chapter! :D
The next day we were all working on the Supra. I was standing between Leon and Letty as we worked on the engine. I smiled when Jesse walked up behind me and placed his hands over mine. He kissed the base of my neck before kissing my cheek. I smiled as I turned my head to kiss his lips.
"You're together?" Leon asked in surprise. We both smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, happened last night. We went out on a date." I said as I shrugged absentmindedly.
"Bout time." Letty said as she patted my shoulder. I smiled and leaned back into him as I continued to work. "And since you're over here Jess, you can help." She said before asking him a question. He answered it fluently and easily, confident in what he was saying.
"Crap!" I said as I dropped the wrench I was working with. Jesse kneeled down and grabbed it before placing it in my hand, settling behind me again.
"Let's try this again." He said with a smirk as he began to help me tighten the bolts. I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"Don't get too cocky." He nodded slightly before kissing my cheek again. We worked for another few minutes before Dom spoke up.
"I'm taking Brian back." I looked over Jesse's shoulder.
"Alright." Letty said, a little unsure. We all knew what he was doing; it was the same thing he'd done with all of us when we became a member of his crew. He was going to explain his past and show the curse car, his father's Dodge Charger. He took a few steps before turning back to us.
"You and Danni, Jess?" I chuckled, only a matter of time. Jesse turned his head to look at the larger man and smiled.
"Yep, since last night." Dom nodded his head with a proud smile on his face.
"About time, I was beginning to think you would keep dancing around each other for years." I rolled my eyes.
"Not years." I smiled, "only a few more months." Dom shook his head and rolled his eyes.
"It's been five years Dan." I nodded with a smile.
"Alright then, get going." He smiled before walking out the garage, Brian following behind him.
"You've heard the story, right?" Letty asked the three of us. We all nodded.
"Yeah, I heard before you two since I was here before you." I said to Jesse and Leon. They both nodded and smiled slightly, remembering the day we met.
"Alright boys…and Danni. Let's get back to work; the sooner this car is done the sooner Spilner can start winning us some money." Letty said with a smile. We nodded before getting back to work. I smiled as Jesse kept placing small little kisses on my neck as we worked.
Later that night
I sat on the couch, Mia and Brian were gone (they were having dinner), and the other four were upstairs getting ready. I flipped through the channels aimlessly until I heard someone walk down the steps. It was Dom, dressed in all black. I sighed as I stood and walked over to him.
"I really wish you wouldn't do this anymore. I told you I can help out with things." He looked at me and gave me a smile.
"I know you can but I need to be able to support everyone on my own." I glared slightly.
"Then bring in more business, stop putting our friends lives on the line." He sighed and turned his head slightly, Vince was now behind him.
"Baby girl, we're fine. Nothing is going to happen." Vince said, confidently. I shook my head.
"What if something does? Then what am I gonna do?" I asked, shaking my head, trying to hold the tears back. I leaned into someone's chest when they pulled me into a hug. I took in a deep breath; the smell was of everything Jesse. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist and placed a kiss to the top of my head.
"Relax Danni, we'll be fine." Jesse said, his voice muffled slightly by my hair. I pulled away and looked at Letty and Leon, who were standing behind Jess. I sighed and rubbed my eyes.
"Fine, fine. Just be careful." I said looking up at Jesse. "I just got you and I'm afraid to lose you." He smiled slightly before leaning down and kissing me passionately. I pulled away before turning to Dom. "If any of them are hurt I'll ring your neck." He simply chuckled before walking over, pulling me into a hug, and kissing the top of my head.
"I know you will and you know I protect them every time." I nodded into his chest, taking in the calming aroma that is simply Dom. They all smiled at me as they walked out the door, leaving me alone. I sighed as I sat back on the couch, doing what I do every night they leave, stay awake all night and worry.
The next morning
It was about four in the morning when they got back, I'd just dozed off into a light sleep. I jumped awake when someone picked me up. I opened my eyes to see Vince looming above me.
"Where's Jesse?" I asked, rubbing my eyes before yawning. He smirked before turning his head to look over his shoulder.
"I'm right here." Jesse said as I was shifted from one set of arms to another. I curled into Jesse's chest as we slowly and easily walked up the stairs, as not a jar me too much. He, somehow, managed to get my door open and he gently laid me down on my bed. He placed a kiss on my forehead and was about to walk away when I grabbed his wrist.
"Wait." He turned back to look at me. "Please, sleep here. I was worried." He glanced at the door before gently crawling over me to lay behind me. I rolled over and curled up to him, laying my hands on his chest as he wrapped his around my waist, laying his head on mine.
"Get some rest; we gotta finish the Supra later." He said, kissing the top of my head. I nodded slightly before finally drifting off to sleep, feeling much better now that I could hold Jesse in my arms.
