No help from my beta so pardon my mistakes



"Now tell me what's really going on." I said once we were lying in the bed together. " Well My brother, he owns this town, as a racer."

"What!" Vince said sitting up straight.

"I know, I know ," She said gently pressing on my chest until I laid back down.

"We've been doing this for years, since we were just kids, maybe 16; and we've dominated. We used to have a team, me, Brandon, Chase, Maria, and Bryce."

"What happened?" I asked pulling her closer to my body. I knew she was still hurting from whatever had gone down.

"Ria, got pregnant, so she had to stop racing, "

"So that's her baby?"

"Yea, and Bryce," She stopped for a minute, almost to compose herself, before rushing on.

"Bryce was my closest brother, God, we were twins, almost six months ago there was a race, and his car spun, the other guy made it, but Bryce .... he died two days later in the hospital; and I haven't raced since. "

"Losing him, it tore this hole in the team, hell in our very souls I think ." " It really warped my brother, because he wasn't there that night; I think he feels guilty, cause ever since he refuses to let me out of his site on the weekends."

"That's part of the reason why we argue, half the time,I don't even want to go to the races, but he forces me too, God Vince You're the only person who treats me like I matter anymore, who actually listens to me," She said taking a shaky breathe.

" I think Letty, and Leon saw me with him last week, they think I'm cheating."

"On top of that I live with some skank who has her creepy boyfriend over all the time, so I don't' even like going home."

"Did he touch you?" I asked ready to rip out his heart out.

"Hell NO ! He just keeps bugging me about his cousin; but I know they just want to be a part of me, and my brother you know?"

"Yea, you know , you, and Letty are so much alike, I wonder if that's why you can't get along."

"I do not believe you just mentioned her right now," She said as we both began to laugh.

"Oh God what am I going to do now?" she asked looking up at me , her brown eyes glazed with tears .

"Its OK baby, its gonna be OK, I said pulling her closer to me, and stroking her hair as she laid on my chest.

A few minutes later I could hear her breathing even out, and I knew she was asleep. As I lay their just listening to her breathe I thought about my life. I was twenty-eight, not getting any younger, and I didn't have anything to live for besides the team. Despite what any one else thought I did want Little Vince's running around, and a wife, there was just something about Brandy, I didn't want to let her go, end of story. Looking over at her, I ran my hand lightly over her stomach, wondering what it would be like to watch my child grow there, and to move deep inside of her.

"Vincent?" She asked stirring slightly?

"Umm?" I murmured.

"That feels nice, my Mom used to do that," She said sleepily.

"Rest, sweetie, I'll be here," I said watching her closer her heavy lids.

Later on that night I slid out of bed, and headed down to the living room where I knew everyone would be waiting for the verdict.

"It was her brother you must have saw her with." I said getting straight to the point. I almost laugh as I saw Leon glance at Letty eyes narrowed in an "I told you so" manner.

"What I was just looking out for V," she said with a sneer, ice over her eye.

"Maybe you should be looking out for yourself ," Dom said his gravely voice slightly amused.

"You got a hell cat in disguise there."

"I know Dom, some shits just gone down in her life this year, and as you can tell from the episode earlier, it won't take much to push her to that edge."

"That's what I came down here for."

"I don't want no one giving her any shit," I said knowing they would all be surprised. I had never laid down the law with any girl I had d ever dated. That would be placing them up their with the team, maybe even above them, and that was just something the old Vince would never have done. It was silent for a while before Dom spoke .

"Consider it done."

"You like her," Letty accused rolling her eyes as she turned away from him disgusted.

"Any girl that's willing to take you on over her man , is ok on my list," He said gently kissing her swollen list.

"Yea, she packs one hell of a punch." Letty said cracking a smile. I knew from then on, things would be OK between the two of them, she had gained her respect, and things would grow from their. They were too alike for it to be any other way.

"Where is B at?" Mia asked worried for her friend as she realized they hadn't heard a peep from her since the fight.

"She's sleeping, I just wanted to come down here, and let y'all know what's up."

"Aight romeo , get back to your girl," Ladie whispered at me giving me a wink.

Chuckling I turned ,and walked back up the stairs. My life was almost perfect finally, maybe those days of trouble were gone for the Toretto Team.

Looking over I saw that it was 4 in the morning, and I sat up wondering what had made me wake up. Then I heard it again the muffled ringing of a cell phone. Reaching over Brandy I searched through her pile of clothes till I found the small silver flip phone.

"Hello?" I growled groggily.

"Who the hell is this, and where is my fucking sister?"

"This is Vince, she's sleeping man." I said my brain still trying to wake up.

"I hope to hell she aint sleeping with you .. put her on the phone now!" He yelled striking a raw nerve in me.

"Look this aint your house so you need to stop that ordering shit, I'll put her on the phone.. this time."

"Baby wake up," I whispered in her ear rubbing her back gently.

"Hmmm?" She said turning to me."

"Phone baby."

"Ughh, Its Brandon isn't it?"

"Yea, and he is not happy," I said feeling bad for her.

Brandy's pov

"Hello?" I said sleepily.

"Where the fuck are you, and where is my car ! Do you know how worried I am I've been over your house for the past 4 hours"

"Sorry Brandon I feel asleep, I'm over V's friends ok, I'll see you tomorrow." I said softly after giving him the address to pick up his car.

"Do you even know them!"

"Dude its Mia's brother!" I yelled irritated.

"Oh," He said feeling bad about over reacting.

"I'm sorry."

"Yea, you're always sorry Brandon, I'll talk to you tomorrow," I said hanging up, and rolling over with a sigh.

"Everything ok?" Vincent asked looking down on me as he propped himself up on one elbow.

"Yea, just the usual brother driving little sister crazy ," I said laughing. It was then that I realized I was lying in bed with V in nothing more than one of his t-shirts, and a pair of panties.

"Hi," I said suddenly shy.

"Hi," he said leaning over to kiss me gently on the mouth. Smiling I rolled onto my back, and welcomed the warm length of his body against mine. My arms cam up around his neck as I ran my hair through his wild hair. When his hand slid under my shirt towards my stomach I froze.

"Vincent?"

"What's wrong?" he asked going still.

"I umm well you see the thing is I've never …"

"You're a virgin?" He asked surprised.

"Yea.. is that a bad thing?" I asked looking up into his eyes.

"No baby, its not bad, well go as slow as you want ok?"

"The thing is, I'm waiting till I get married," I said in a small voice, not wanting him to leave me.

"We will," he said smiling as he bent again to kiss me.

" We can at least make out right?" he asked making me laugh. Somewhere in

between kisses I replayed what he had actually said. We will? We will as in he thought we were going to get married! A little while later we were both drifting asleep when a thought popped into my head.

"V?"

"Hmmm?"

"Do you want kids."

"Yea a whole bunch why?"

"Just checking ," I whispered placing a kiss onthe bakc of his neck, and rolling over.

I woke up that morning feeling like I had gotten drunk the night before, the stress finally getting to me . Looking at the clock I moaned it was only 9 in the morning , but I knew I needed to be up for class at 10:30. wiggling around I got V to loosen his grip so I could get up.

"Where you going baby?" He asked sleepily.

" I need to get ready for class, "

"Ok," He murmured rolling over.

"Wait Vincent, what am I going to wear?"

"The last room on the left I is where Mia', and Brian crash when they stay here, you should be able to find something there."

"K, thanks babe, I'll come, and see you before I leave," I said heading to the bathroom.



The stream of hot water on my back massaged my aching muscles, and helped me forget about my troubles for a while. I was just about to get out when I heard the door open. Assuming it was V, or someone who had to use the bathroom I ignored it, turning off the spray, and reaching for a towel. Making sure I didn't hear anyone peeing still before I walked out I shrugged, and opened the stall door. I froze when I saw Dom standing there.

"Well, hello there," He said in a deep voice that I would have found sexy if I hadn't been head over heels for Vincent.

"Uhh hi," I said confused. " Dom I hate to be rude, but what the hell do you want cause I'm standing here in a towel, and I got places to be."

"Nothing," he said smiling as he turned to walk away.

"Was that a test or something?" I asked his quickly retreating back.

"Yea, but you passed so don't worry ," he said over his shoulder.

"You're an ass you know that Toretto?" I asked rolling my eyes as I headed to find clothes to wear.

"Letty tells me that about everyday," his only parting reply.
