12. Vitamin V

When Mazzy woke up the next day, she couldn't wait to get to her last break to see Vince. She'd thought about him a lot while trying to get to sleep the night before. All she had been able to think about were his lips on her fingers. Then thinking back to a couple days earlier when they'd been on her neck. Gods are you in trouble with this one, she thought as she rolled out of bed and started her morning routine.

At work, there had been a guy named Jason who had been flying below Mazzy's radar, that was about to end. Throughout the day he'd kept staring at her every time he'd been on the same aisle, waiting for her to move from whatever she'd been doing so he could get through. She tried her best not to let it annoy her, but on their last break, Vince hadn't showed up. That left her feeling rejected and pissed. Not a good combination.

"Heads up Maze," Letty told her, as Jason made his hundredth pass by them that day.

Mazzy turned and looked up at Jason who was nearly a foot taller than she was.

"Why don't you walk around?" Mazzy asked rudely, going back to stocking her shelf.

Jason didn't move, he continued to wait on her to move, enjoying the view when she'd bent to take something out of the box.

"Stop looking at my ass and go around," Mazzy ground out between clenched teeth.

"Why don't you move so's I can get by?"

"Because you're stopping me from doing my job every time you come by. The trash cart is at the end of the aisle for a reason, empty it and go the fuck around."

"I'll go where I want, and I want to go this way."

"Letty- have you seen Toby? I think he'd like to know how Jason has been slackin' for the past five minutes."

Letty looked at Mazzy, "Why don't you just let him by?"

"'Cuz I'm sick of having him interrupt me. That's why the trash is at the end of the aisle."

Leon went by at that time, stopping to ask Jason if there was a problem. Jason shook his head and went back the other way to go around the aisle that Letty and Mazzy were working in.

Letty looked at Mazzy, "What's your problem today? You didn't have to be a bitch to him."

"He gives me the creeps the way he stares, it's like he's undressing me with his eyes. That, and he looked right at my name tag earlier and asked if I was Amanda. I just have no patience for that crap."

Leon walked to the end of the aisle and turned back to the girls. "I know what it is Letty," he said with a grin. "She didn't get her daily dose of Vitamin V." He said, and walked away after making sure his comment had the desired effect on Mazzy.

Letty laughed, Leon could come up with some of the cheesiest things to say- cheesy but still funny. Especially funny due to the look on Mazzy's face, and the way she blushed.

"I got that vein to pop!" Mazzy heard Leon say a couple aisles over.

Mazzy shook her head, "Fucker."

After they'd all clocked out, Mazzy asked Letty about going out that weekend.

"Sure, did you have a place in mind?"

Mazzy shook her head, "Haven't really been out in awhile."

Letty thought for a couple minutes, "I know! There's this new place, Dom's been bouncing there, it's called the Shelter. I've been wanting to check it out."

Mazzy nodded, "I'm not picky so long as there's a dance floor."

They all looked at the car that had pulled in, it was Vince's Maxima. He got out and took a seat next to Mazzy on the hood of her car.

"Where were you today?" Letty asked.

Mazzy silently thanked the powers that be that it was Letty that asked first, and not her.

"Just checkin' things out." Vince answered nonchalantly. "Miss me?" He addressed Mazzy, bumping her shoulder with his.

Mazzy shook her head, "Nah."

Brian laughed, "Don't lie! Leon, what was it you said that made her vein pop out?"

Leon shrugged. "She was crabby after ya didn't show for our break. I figured it was lack of Vitamin V," Leon said with a wink.

Vince threw his head back and laughed, then turned to Mazzy, "That right?"

"Psh." She stook and faced Leon, "Hey Leon."

Leon grinned at her, "Yeah?"

"Suck it!" She said, using her normal hand gestures and thrusting her hips forward.

Vince turned her around and pulled her between his legs and whispered, "Do you need an injection of Vitamin V?" He waggled his eyebrows at her when she stared at him in shock. He laughed at the priceless expression on Mazzy's face. He put a hand on the back of her neck and pulled her to his chest for a hug.

Mazzy automatically wrapped her arms around him, "I cannot believe you just said that!"

"You're too easy to make blush, Mazzy," Vince told her as he loosened his grip on her.

"Are we just gonna stay here, or do ya'll wanna do something?" Mazzy asked as she turned to face the others, leaning against Vince's chest.

"What's there to do?" Brian asked.

"I dunno 'bout you guys, but I think I'm gonna go swimming."

"Where at?" Leon asked.

"My brother's house."

"He got a pool?" Vince asked.

"No… he's got a lake."

"Alright smart ass!" Vince growled playfully.

Mazzy got goose bumps from the vibrations against her back. "Not a huge pool or anything- it's above ground and shit. Can't dive, but it's nice to cool off in."

"What about Dom, Mia and Jesse?" Brian asked.

"I don't care, bring 'em."

"What about your brother?" Vince asked.

Mazzy waved her hand, "If Shelby says it's ok, then it is." She held up her cell and dialed the number. After a brief conversation, she shut her phone. "Good to go." She looked down at her shirt and noticed she still had her name tag on. She carefully peeled it off, turned, and stuck it to Vince, patting his chest to be sure it stayed.

"What's this?" Vince asked, holding out his shirt.

"My name."

"What- you think I need a new one?"

"Thought we could trade," Mazzy told him with a wink, she turned back to Leon, Letty and Brian, "Go do what you need to and come by the house."

Vince stood behind her, "What 'bout me?"

"You're comin' too right?" Mazzy asked hopefully, turning her head to look up at him.

Vince nodded, "Yeah."
