Chapter 14:

"Incase you haven't heard I don't take lightly to rejection."

Harley smirked at the teenage boy. Navy brat, dark hair, green eyes, tall, not what she wanted in a guy. "And I don't take lightly to threats." She replied.

"That wasn't a threat. All I'm asking is that you go on one date with me. If you hate me afterwards you don't ever have to go again."

"And if I don't loath you afterwards then what?" Harley grinned.

The boy smirked at her. "Then maybe you and I can become a regular thing."

"Thing?"

"A thing." He replied cockily.

Harley looked at him and put on a confident smile of her own. "Scott right?" He nodded. "One date and then after that you leave me alone."

"If you loath me."

"Trust me I don't need a date to tell me I loathe you." Harley replied.

"I beg to differ." Scott remarked cockily. Harley rolled her eyes and walked off. "After school then!" He shouted as she walked away from him down the hall of the busy school.

"Har? Earth to Harley!" Harley snapped back to reality and saw her sister and Neela staring at her. "You ok?" Tori asked.

Harley nodded. "Yeah. Letty you wanna shop with us?" She asked looking over towards where Letty was looking over an engine with Han and Dom.

"Shopping's not really my thing." She replied.

"Not mine either, but I have Han's debit card." Harley grinned holding up the particular card in question. "And I've got an itch to use it." She said looking at the card name holder in question.

Letty grinned. "In that case I think I can make an exception."

"Good." Harley said brightly.

"Harley." Han started.

"I love you! Bye!" She said and the girls all left in a rush of giggles and Letty was just laughing at the girlyness.

Dom looked at Han shaking his head. "Man you gave her your debit card?" He asked.

Han shrugged. "I've got the money and she can't do that much damage."

"But man giving her a card."

"I've fallen hard bro, she's the girl I love more than anything. More than cars, more then myself, I'd give up everything for her man." Han said as if it was some sort of explanation. "And so yes she has a debit card."

Dom chuckled. "Man you've got it bad."

Han went back to working on the engine in front of him and nodded. "Yeah."

Shopping:

"Ok so where to first?" Neela asked.

"I say we hit the food court. I'm starving." Harley commented.

Letty grinned at her. "I bet. How late were you up? I mean you headed off about three a.m."

Harley smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know? I think it'd make you girls jealous."

"Ha!" Neela commented.

"K I am so not part of this conversation." Tori said shyly.

Harley looked at her and smiled kindly. "Still not that far."

Tori shook her head. "No, but at least he's not acting like I've got the plague or something anymore."

"Chica you just need something to make the boy drool." Letty said.

"That's what I said, but she doesn't listen to me." Harley said shaking her head with and playfully disappointment on her face. "Ok so let's get some food and then we'll talk how to make the kiddies drool."

The others agreed and they found a Mickey D's in the food court and got burgers since Letty wasn't use to Sushi yet. "Ok so what makes your man drool?" Neela asked her favorite girlfriend.

Harley smirked impishly. "Ink." She said.

"What?" Tori and Neela asked.

"Tattoos." Letty put in. "You got some?" She asked the brunette.

Harley stood and showed her the tattoo on her lower back and then both undersides of her wrists where Japanese symbols rested permanently embedded into the skin. "Well and my piercing." Harley said.

Letty looked at her incredulous about spitting out her bite of burger. "You have one?"

Harley laughed shaking her head. "No, not in the sense you are thinking." She lifted the front of her black tank and Letty saw the jeweled H that dangled from the small hoop pierced through her skin.

"Oh…" Letty drawled.

Harley chuckled. "So what is it for Dom?"

"Adrenaline and cars." Letty said. "What else?" She said sarcastically.

"For Sean he told me it's my accent." Neela commented eating some fries. Harley knew she wasn't a fast food kind of girl, but she liked fries and burgers occasionally.

Tori felt out of place talking about this particular subject cause she really didn't know what made Blake drool, they hadn't been that far, come to think of it she didn't know what made him like her anyways. "I feel so out of place here." Tori commented.

Letty looked at her and gave a genuine smile. "You just need to give him more encouragement. You're a virgin right?" She asked bluntly.

Tori blushed at that was all the answer she needed. "So of course he's nervous." Harley put in. "I mean as far as I know so is Blake and he's probably terrified it'll suck." Saying it like she really didn't know didn't let on that she had talked to him about it.

Letty grinned. "Probably. You aren't one of those girls that expects magical love making are you?" She asked Tori.

Tori shrugged. "Honestly I've never thought about it until Harley showed up and I ended up with a boyfriend shortly after." She said.

"When Sean and I were first together I thought it was going to be so awkward coming from the relationship I had with T but it was amazing." Neela put in.

Harley smirked. "I had no complaints." She commented.

"Come on guys. I'm trying to prepare the girl for less then fantastic and you're chalking it up to be the best ever." Letty said laughing.

"Ok fine. It hurt a bit, but not nearly as much as when I broke bones." Harley said.

Ok Tori had taken sex-ed like every student and she remembered the discussion about virgins and what not and knew that a little pain was a given. "Pain I can handle, it's the how I get him to want me part I'm not getting?" Tori said shyly.

Letty smiled. "Then I'm your fairy godmother cause I know how to make men want with the best of them."

Harley laughed lightly. "Oh teach away." She said teasingly.

Letty nodded. "Tori you're so shy."

"Yeah that's just me." Tori replied.

"Well show him there's a different side. A confident, sexy, side that lets him know how much you really want him." Letty said.

"First thing is you have to know what kind of relationship your in." Neela said.

Harley nodded. "I put into these categories. Fucking is for one night stands, sex is 'committed to you' relationships, and making love is for people who love each other."

"Well I love Blake and he loves me so it's not the other two." Tori said.

Harley nodded. "But there are in betweens here. In love means several different things. It doesn't always mean you have the same feelings as another person."

"Yeah love can be committed non sexual relationships, or marriage, it can be totally connecting with that person on whole new levels that never existed…it's something that just feels right." Neela said.

"Saps." Letty commented sarcastically. "But they make a good point. You are in a committed relationship with…" She forgot his name.

"Blake." Tori said for her.

"Thank you. Blake. And when you first start having sex it's at the 'committed to you' stage as Harley put it and then gradually it turns into making love because the enjoyments are mutual and not awkward. Your lover already knows what you need without asking and vice versa."

"This sounds absolutely way to complicated." Tori commented. Holding her face in her hands.

"It's not really." Harley said. "What we are saying is that if you want Blake you need to show him. And what better way then to say your sexy and confident and he's what you want then dressing a little differently once in a while."

"When he takes you out, make an effort to look fantastic but not overly so." Neela stated.

"Yeah and when you think he's putting some distance take control and don't let him. A guy will follow your lead." Letty said confidently.

Harley looked across at the petite Latino and smiled. "I bet. "She remarked.

"I'm sure you've got Han wrapped around your little finger just as much as I have Dom around mine." Letty commented.

Harley snorted sarcastically. "I have his debit card don't I?"

"He is one brave man handing over the card that leads to his full finances." Letty said teasingly.

Harley smirked. "And that just goes to show how tightly wrapped around my finger he is."

"Anyways so what you were saying is that if I want Blake I have to take matters into my own hands." Tori stepped in after thinking silently during their playful banter.

Harley, Neela, and Letty nodded. "Exactly." They said.

Tori shrugged. "Ok."

"So I say after we finish eating we take her to Victoria Secret." Neela said smiling slyly.

Harley agreed and Letty looked at the girls frowning. "You can by the same things there as you can at Wal-Mart for much less."

"But we don't have a Wal-Mart. And besides Han's paying." Harley smiled wickedly and Letty finally agreed.

"Good point. Mind if I pick out a little something." She said jokingly.

Harley smiled. "Why not? When Han finds out what the cause was he'll love it and I wont get in any trouble especially when him and Dom talk about it like they will."

Letty and the others both laughed softly and then finished their meal and went about their shopping and a few hours after that headed back to the garage with their purchases.

Harley gave a gentle smile. "Thanks for dinner." She said and moved to open her door.

Scott stopped her and gave her a wry grin. "Don't I get a good night kiss?" He asked cheekily.

Rolling her eyes Harley moved to kiss his cheek and he caught her off guard taking her lips in a soft kiss. I didn't feel right to her though, but he was a good kisser. He pulled back and she made to slap him. "You arrogant jerk." She muttered and let herself into her house slamming the door in his face.

The next day at school Harley was sitting in class typing on her laptop when a message popped up on her IM screen from someone she didn't recognize, but she got what the message meant.

AdrenalineJunkE: I'm sorry for being an arrogant jerk.

FlamingPhoenix: I still loath the ground you walk on. Did I say you could kiss me?

AdrenalineJunkE: Sorry 'bout that. Can I make it up to you?

FlamingPhoenix: I'll think about it.

Harley snapped back to reality and realized Letty was sitting in her passanger seat talking cars with her and she had zoned out. Running into people from your passed did that, they made you think of the passed and right now Harley was stuck in it.

"Scott slow down!" She yelled holding on to the door handle for dearlife. "Jesus christ Scott I'm serious!" Harley shouted.

"Not yet. I'm not losing." Scott said like he was possesed.

"You are going to get us killed now please slow down. If you care about me at all slow down!" Harley begged.

Scott didn't slow down but he did catch up and when he went to ram into his friends car, his plan was interrupted by his buddy falling back knowing what he was going to do. Harley screamed softly to herself as her eyes closed and the car went of the winding bank and down rolling three times before landing top down. Everything went black from then on.

Harley woke up to bright white lights and a beeping sound in her ear. "Mom." She moaned. The pain in her chest was unnerving her. What the hell happened.

"Harley oh baby are you ok?"

Her eyes adjusted to the light and she could make out the beautiful blonde figure of her mother. "My…my throat." She said. Her voice was scratchy and her throat dry. She felt a straw touch her lips and she sipped lightly and the cool liquid of water slid down her throat. "What happened?"

"A friend dropped you off." Her mother said. "She said you were in a car accident up in the mountains."

Harley nodded. "I was. Was Scott hurt?"

"As far as I know he wasn't admitted into the hospital but I don't know." Her mother said.

Harley felt stupid. "I shouldn't have gone with him mom." She said a small tear in her eyes. "I know how he gets."

"Sweety maybe it's time you and he stopped seeing each other." Harley nodded in agreement and then the pain medications kicked in and she was out again.

Harley pulled into the garage and climbed out of the car like a drone. She was still lost in her memories and it was starting to annoy her.

Harley walked into class her arm was in a sling, she had a couple butterfly bandages on her forehead and no one could see but her torso was wrapped because of her ribs. She sat down in her seat after handing over one of many doctors notes that she wasn't to do to much strenuous activity and pulled out her lap top with her good arm.

Booted up and logged on Harley began to type one handed while her english teacher read aloud to the class.

AdrenalineJunkE: Hey! How you doing?

FlamingPhoenix: Screw You!

AdrenalineJunkE: What did I do?

FlamingPhoenix: You put me in the hospital and you didn't even come to apologise! You are an arrogant asshole!

AdrenalineJunkE: I'm sorry alright!

FlamingPhoenix: Too little too late dickhead. We are over.

AdrenalineJunkE: Harley…

FlamingPhoenix: No I'm done with you. You keep hurting me! No more! I never want to see you again as long as I live.

AdrenalineJunkE: But what about the dance?

FlamingPhoenix: I can't go even if I wanted to. The accident you caused did damage to my ribs and anything to tight and I could hurt myself. Not too mention I just broke up with you. Move on! Go find another girl and leave me alone.

Harley deleted him from her friends list and also put up a blocker on his screen name so she wouldn't have to keep talking to him. She was furious. He hadn't come to the hospital to see her, he hadn't been the one to bring her in the first place but he had been the one to cause her all the pain and now she was done…

That afternoon at Ninja training Harley walked along the grounds to where she saw her class. The Head Teacher had given her stricked orders that she was not allowed to participate in classes, but she was to watch and learn until she was healed. "Now class I'm going too…"

Harley saw her Sensei turn and face her. "Sorry I was talking with the Head Teacher." She mumbled. Training was her life at this point and not being able to do it made her sullen and depressed. It was how she fended of her frustrations lately.

"I heard about your injuries and what the Head Teacher expects. You will stand to the side and watch." He said.

Harley sighed and nodded and went over to be far enough away that the class couldn't make out the small sniffling to keep back her tears. She hadn't wanted any of this and if she had just said no to Scott like she had wanted she would be doing demonstrations with her class and not on the sidelines.

After classes were finished Harley started to walk off. "Harley!"

"Yes Sensei?" She asked turning around.

"I'm sorry." He said.

Harley was confused. "For what? I am not fit to train with my ribs and I understand that."

"No I was one of the ones that helped get you and your friend from the car, I should've stayed to see if you were alright at the hospital." He admitted. "Neela took you."

Harley nodded. "Thank you. But its alright. You weren't the person I expected to see at the hospital when I woke up anyways. Do you think I'll ever stop making stupid mistakes?"

"We all make them, it's what makes us human."

"Like you being at illegal underground races." Harley put in jokingly. She just needed a good laugh and maybe she'd find it in her sometimes to serious and cocky but all around cool sensei.

Han chuckled softly. "Yeah. Anyways you better head off. I wouldn't want you getting home late."

"Yeah my mom's become a little clingy since the accident." Harley winced twisting the wrong way a bit. Han reached down and grabbed her wrist. She looked at him oddly as he turned her palm face up and gently with one finger pressed like it was a button.

An instant warmth washed over and she felt no pain at the moment. "What was that?" She asked.

"Fire ninjas have some dorment abilities to heal. It's not much but it should help with a little of the pain at least for a day." He said.

Harley smiled at him. "Thanks. I better go." She took her hand back and walked off. She had just felt the strangest connection or vibe go through her when he had touched her and she didn't know what to make of it.

"Hey baby!" Harley reached the top of the stairs and plopped down on the couch next to Han. "What did you buy?" He looked over at the bags she had dropped beside the couch and grinned. "Victoria secret!"

"You already no Victoria's secret, but I figured I needed some new wardrobe." Harley said giggling softly. They had dropped Tori at Johnny's to get ready for her date with Blake and Neela had gotten in her car which she had left at Han's garage and headed home to ready for her date as well. Letty took a seat in Dom's lap and they met in a deep kiss.

"How 'bout you baby did you have fun?" Dom asked.

Letty nodded. "Yeah." She said casually. She didn't want to come off as to girly.

Harley placed chaste kisses along Han's neck to his ear. "I believe you'll be getting some thanks from at least two people later." She whispered huskily.

"Oh yeah why's that?" He asked.

Harley grinned at him and winked. "I'll tell you later. Come on take me to dinner." She said sweetly. "I wanna enjoy being of legal age with my older boyfriend." She said standing up.

Han was about to protest but thought better off it seeing as how Harley couldn't be persuaded when she had her mind set on something, unless he did certain things. But he was still wore out from the night before. "Ok." He nodded and stood up. "Dom, Let you wanna come?" He asked.

They both shook their heads. "But thanks anyway Han." Dom said with a smug 'I'm gonna hang here and get some' grin.

Han chuckled knowing that grin and turning slingy his arm protectively around Harley's shoulder and they headed down the stairs to Han's car. "You drive." Harley said getting in on the passanger side. She wasn't his chaufer but sometimes she felt like it when he wanted her to drive.

Han backed out of the garage and they headed off. "So where do you want to eat?" He asked.

"Actually I'm not really in the mood for food. I just wanted to get out of there." Harley said grinning.

Han looked over at her slightly confused and she leaned over the gear shift and center console slowly and her left hand gently guided up his inner left thigh. His eyes started close and he remembered he was driving and they snapped open again. "Ahh…" He struggled to speak as her hand casually groped him. "Not…not a good thing…"

"Really?" Harley asked wickedly.

"Driving." He mumbled. Harley smirked and leaned in pressing kisses along his cheek to the corner of his lips.

Harley giggled in his ear lightly. He cool feel her warm breath blowing his hair a bit and her lips graze his skin ever so faintly. "I thought you mastered driving while 'under the influence?'" She said jokingly knowing she didn't mean boos or alcohol.

Han focused his eyes on the traffic that was now litering the streets, the one time he needed to do a u turn he couldn't. "You're different than some race skank." He replied through gritted teeth not to give away how incredibly turned on he was getting. No matter how tired he might be he never could say no.

"Ok I'll give you that." She breathed in his ear. "I just wanna talk. Maybe we could go somewhere private and talk for a while." She put in softly carefully moving her left hand to knead the junction between his legs.

Han moaned low in his throat and turned his face to look at her. "You are going to get us killed." He said with smoldering passion in his eyes.

Harley smirked. "No I'm not. Besides maybe after we talk a little you can do naughty things to me to make up for the distraction I'm causing." She said impishly. Han simply didn't reply he just drove towards the mountains where he knew of a nice quite pull off where nobody went but himself and his crew. Crew? Where had he…Dom. Being around Dom had brought on some old funny habits.

Once there Han shut the engine off and let out a frustrated sigh. Harley hadn't stopped what she had been doing and now he was incredibly turned on. "That was cruel and unusual punishment. What have I ever done to you?" Han asked her almost seriously, but she knew what she had done had it's affects.

Harley grinned. "Do you remember what I said about not knowing what made me kiss you that first time in the woods?" She said climbing over the console and straddling his lap not carring about the steering wheel digging into her lower back. Han cared though and put the seat back a little further. "Thank you." Harley smiled.

"When we were first talking in my room?" Han asked. Harley nodded. "Of course I do. I remember everything from that night."

Harley smiled. "I figured it out today. After seeing Scott last night, my mind has been taking me back to that particular screw up in my life."

"What's your point?" Han growled. Harley loved that he was protective over her about that whole issue still to this day.

Harley's gently traced his jaw with her thumbs and smiled at him. "I can blame this all on you in one single instance you changed everything."

"Oh yeah? How?" Han asked.

"That first day I came back to training. About three weeks before I kissed you. You touched my hand and made some of my pain go away when I winced. You remember?" She asked.

"I do." He said softly.

Harley sighed contently her fingers now combing through his hair. "If you hadn't have done that I never would've felt a connection to you. I probably could've gone around the rest of my training years just thinking you were my sexy ass sensei, but no you did." She smiled at him. "And you know what?"

"What?" Han asked looking at her intently.

"I'm glad you did. My life wouldn't be as great as it is now." Harley said happily.

Han chuckled. "Great? Are you kidding me?"

Harley shook her head. "I'm serious. If I didn't have you I'd have nothing. I wouldn't have Tori back in my life, I'd still be a reck from my mother's death and I wouldn't be happy." She said seriously.

Han put his arms around her waist and rested his head above her breasts and she rested her cheek on the crown of his head as her arms wrapped around his neck. "I gotta tell you something." He whispered his breath blew across the bar skin of her collarbone from the spagehtti strap tank she wore.

"What?" Harley asked kissing his head softly and gently stroking the back of his hair.

"I felt that too, I just didn't know what it was or if it was anything at all." Han said softly.

Harley grinned brightly. "Maybe we really are meant to be together. Some sort of soul mates that find each other throughout the ages, dying and being reborn again into a new life." She said giggling.

Han pulled away gently and grabbed the back of her head and brought her in for a hard passionate kiss. "I believe it." He whispered on her lips.

"Never said I didn't." She replied huskily taking his lips in a hard kiss. She opened her mouth to him and their tongues dualed for leadership and their hands began to explore familiar territory on each other's bodies. Nothing had been unsearched by these two. Harley knew every scar, birth mark, and freckle on Han's body as he did hers.

"I love you." Han said quickly breaking the lip lock and then latching his mouth onto her collar bone and gently sucked and nibble the flawless glowing skin.

Harley groaned with pleasure. "I love you too." She breathed. Her hands rested now on the back of his head and held him at his previous station. "Ahh…" She whimpered when he bit a little to hard.

Han pulled back an bit and saw that he had accidently drawn blood. "Oops." He whispered. He beant his head forward and gently licked then kissed the lightly bleeding teeth marks on her collarbone. Harley sighed as he blew warm air on the small wound and then pulled away looking up into her eyes. "Sorry."

Harley grinned back. "It's ok." She replied taking his lips in a intense kiss. Just then a bright light flashed through the lightly steamed window of the driver's side door. "Ah man." Harley whined softly.

Han turned the ignition key slightly and then hit the automatic window button and it came down. "Can I help you officer?" He asked smugly. He knew what the officer was thinking right about now. The windows were a little steamy and his girlfriend was straddling his lap in a short skirt.

The officer told them they needed to leave and take their actions elsewhere and Han nodded his understanding and put his window back up. "We didn't even get to the naughty stuff you promised." He joked as Harley reluctantly moved from his lap back to the passanger seat.

"No we didn't." She pouted. "Come on let's get home."

Han bit his lip as he pulled back onto the main road and headed back. "Harley speaking of home I've been thinking that…" He trailed off unsure of how to say what he wanted without coming of to needy, uncool, unsure…all of the above.

"Thinking what?" Harley asked.

"I was thinking that you and I can't live in my basement together."

"Han if you want me to live at Johnny's all you had to do was say so." Harley said a bit sadly.

Han groaned that wasn't what he wanted. "No that isn't…I was thinking that maybe you and me could get a small apartment together in the city. Not to far from the garage." He said a little flustered.

Harley glanced over at him and grinned. "You wanna live with me?" She asked. "Really? Like seriously not in the garage. You want to live with me? Share a place?" She was asking the stupidest questions and she knew it, but she hadn't been expecting that.

Han nodded. "I mean we've been together for two years it's not like it's sudden or anything and truth is my basement isn't suited for a couple. It was a one night stand bachelor pad."

Harley giggled softly to herself. "Han, Baby, I'd love to live with you."

Han smiled at her. "Good. You and me can go look for a place tomorrow. And then when we move in I'll let Twink have the basement since Sean and Neela practically live together now too."

"I think that's a perfect idea." Harley said smiling.

"Yeah me too." Han agreed and they drove the rest of the way back to the garage in silence.
