For mac-reye – because you asked.
'Party for Two' by Shania Twain
I'll tell you that it…
It doesn't matter what you wear,
'Cause it's only gonna be,
You and me there (Whoa!)
I'm having a party,
A party for two,
Invitin' nobody,
Nobody but you,
"It's New Year's Eve!" Mia was shouting, all but dancing with rage. "We're hosting the biggest party in the area, it's fifteen minuets to midnight and they're not here!"
The 'they' in question were her soon to be ex best friend and her soon to be ex older brother, though she wasn't quite sure how to go about making the second one come about. Or at least doing it in a way that didn't end with her behind bars. But first she'd have to find out where the two miscreants had secreted themselves.
Vince and Leon eyed Mia the way drowning men would watch the grey triangular fin slicing through the water. Everyone already knew what the outcome was going to be it was just a question of how much blood would be spilled before it was all said and done. It wasn't surprising that Jesse had vanished the moment hurricane Mia had blown into the room, eyes ablaze, hair flying and looking ready to spit acid.
"I know you both know where they are," She snarled, hands on hips all but vibrating with indignation. "So tell me!"
"Mia, just leave it." Leon's tone was pleading, more than anything he just wanted to be somewhere else, anywhere else. He wasn't proud like Vince and he didn't have an ego like Dom, but even he didn't want to be seen being menaced by a five foot five irate Italian firecracker.
"No Leon," The scorn Mia was able to put into his name had to be heard to be believed. "I will not just leave it! This is their party, they should be here!"
Leon opened his mouth, thought better of it and shut it again. While Vince tired to talk Mia down, he had more chance of persuading rocks to fly, he reflected how unreasonable woman and Mia Athena Toretto in particular could be. Here she was ranting and raving about the absence of Dom and Letty, not like they didn't vanish during every party they had, when the New Years celebration had been her idea in the first place.
Mia glared at Leon who was looking anywhere but at her and was doing a damn fine impression of a clam with lockjaw. Vince was still talking, though not actually saying anything. At least anything worth listening to, such as where her bloody brother and his equally damnable girlfriend had slopped off to.
She had looked everywhere, searching the crowd that filled the house as well as the overflow that had spilled into the garden, but she had found neither hide nor hair of them. Not in the group taking part in the drinking contest in the kitchen, not standing round the bonfire out back or playing video games in the front room. She had even checked the garage, Letty having once informed Mia that the Dodge Charger was one of her and Dom's favourite places to… be… alone…?
Vince started forward in panic and Mia's eyes rolled upwards. His hand was on her arm when he realised that her eyes hadn't turned up as if she were going to pass out but so she could look up at the ceiling. He'd read about people's nostrils flaring in outrage but he'd never actual seen it up until then.
Mia sucked in a deep breath looking, like a dragon about to flame a hated enemy, her eyes looking more than a little crazy as she literally shoved Vince out of her way. "I should have known!" For such a little thing she was remarkably strong.
"Mia, wait!" Vince called bounding after her and almost falling over several empty bottles as he did so. "You don't want to do that!"
Leon took the opportunity to vanish before Vince could think to drag him along to act as back up, he at least didn't want to see what happened when Mia made caught up with Dom and Letty. Though he was pretty sure that it didn't matter where he was he'd be able to hear the young Italian girl just fine
Mia could here Vince calling out but wasn't in any mood to listening. She was running on pure fury and was already halfway up the stairs before he had his foot on the bottom step. With the space that already separated them he had no hope in hell of catching her and she was still excoriating. Vince sprinted up the stairs, ignoring the protests from his knees, and made it to the top just as Mia reached Dom's bedroom door.
Sure there were meant to be fireworks on New Years Eve, but Vince was sure the explosion that was about to follow was not what was expected.
"I should have known!" Mia yelled as she shoved the door open and stormed into the room. "We have a house full of people and you two are – AGH!"
Dom didn't even bother to look round at his sister, preferring to keep all of his focus on Letty, while the dark haired young woman just grinned from her spot on the bed, and under Dom, at her friend's ear splitting scream. True the pair of them were covered from the waist down, but it was pretty obvious the sheet was all that they were wearing, and Mia would have had to have been an astonishingly naïve person not to realise just what the two of them were doing.
"Oh that's disgusting!" If her first cry had been loud the second one was flirting dangerously with the pain threshold.
Mia wasn't a prude or anything of the kind and had no problem with sex. In fact she enjoyed it a lot, not that she would ever allow Dom to know that. She was sure her brother would go to his gave convince his little sister was still a virgin despite providing him with an army of nieces and nephews. But there were limits to what ever the most understanding sibling could put up with.
It was one thing to know that her brother was doing the nasty with her best friend at every given opportunity, but was quite another to see it in the flesh, as it were. The idea of them as a couple one was an abstract concept that she didn't have to deal with on a day to day basis. The reality of the two if them all hot and sweaty and tangled up in the bed sheets was something it was impossible to over look. Especially when it was staring her in the face.
"The door was closed." Dom said mildly, his voice muffled due to the fact he had his face pressed against Letty's neck. "And you didn't knock."
"He's right you know, ever hear of a little think called privacy Mia?" Letty's tone was liquid silk and Mia really didn't want to know what her brother had done to smooth her friend's normally sharp tongue.
She opened her mouth, prepared to snap at the pair for abandoning her with a house full of guests, moreover deserting her just so they could get their freak on. Mia was getting ready to launch into a full-blown rant, but before she could get the first world she was cut off by Letty who admitted a sound somewhere between a giggle and a high pitched squeal.
The youngest Toretto's face momentarily going blank, before contorting into a mask of disgust as she realised what was going on. Oh that was horrific! It was bad enough they had slipped away from everyone so that rather than kissing they could be coming at midnight, but that fact that her brother was still doing things to make Letty produce sounds like that with her standing in the doorway…
Snorting in disgust, Mai turned on her heel and stalked back out of her brother's bedroom. Slamming the door wasn't necessary, and wouldn't distract either member of the sex obsessed pair, but the loud crash it made was satisfying. Though it did little to relieve her foul mood, she was going to be in therapy for years. The sound of Dom's throaty chuckle and Letty's soft laughter followed her out if the room.
"I tried to warn you." Vince said voice barely able to be heard over the sound of Mia stamping across the landing as she made for the stairs. He just rolled his eyes as he followed after her, taking care to avoid the elbow she tired to jab into his ribs. It wasn't as if any of this had been his fault.
"Most people," And she stressed the words to indicate just how abnormal she felt both Dom and Letty were. "Are content to be kissing at midnight, but not those two. Oh no. I'm going to be scarred for life."
(A/N) Ok so this one is more Mia than Dom and Letty, but can any of you really see that pair settling for kissing in the New Year? This just seemed so much more them. See you in 2013 Dotty fans.
