CHAPTER 3 ~Brian's POV~
Kendra and Riley seemed to be nice, but Dom just wasn't having it. It was getting late, and we were about to close up the garage so the girls were going to get on their way.
"We'll see you all tomorrow then." Kendra said walked to the garage door. Leon smiled.
"Aight, see you tomorrow." She gave a small wave. "Bye." Riley was saying goodbye to Jesse, as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. She smiled, and waved to the rest of us.
"Bye y'all." Jesse was really into Riley, and she was obviously into him, but you had to be blind not to realize it. I've never seen Jess that happy. He just met the girl, but damn, he's falling for her hard.
I knew that there was something bothering Dom. He was tense, and his eyes were giving cold looks to Kendra.
"Brian." Dom said walking into the office. I followed him in, and he shut the door.
"Everything alright man?"
"I need you to do a search on Kendra." Oh, I knew that one was coming.
"So what do you know that I don't?"
"Search her, then we'll talk." I didn't argue. For one, Dom didn't seem very thrilled, and I wasn't going to push him. And two, whatever he knows about Kendra, I'd find out when I did a search on her.
~Hours later back at the house~
I scrolled down the computer screen and I was in shock. Kendra didn't seem the part of what her search said about her. Although, looks can be deceiving.
"Dom, did you know all this?" I asked still looking at the computer screen. He was pacing back and forth behind me as he rubbed the back of his head. "And does Leon know?" He sighed.
"No idea."
"Guys! We're gonna start the movie!" Mia called from the top of the basement steps.
"Hang on Mia, we'll be there in a minute." Dom yelled back.
"So what do we do?" I asked turning my attention to Dom who seemed to be in very deep thought.
"Well, since she's coming to dinner tomorrow. We'll confront her then." This wasn't gonna be good. "Not a word on this to Leon, or anyone for that matter." He said walking back upstairs. "Oh yeah. This is not going to be good at all.
~Riley's POV~
"Didn't think you'd find him that quick." I laughed referring to Leon, as I took a seat next to her on the couch. But my thoughts were focused on Jesse. Can we say hot?! Kendra kept her eyes on the TV, which only got three damn channels for now till we get some cable, and didn't say a word. "You alright?" She nodded. "It's about Dom huh?" Yeah, stupid question, considering I already know the answer to it. She looked over to me, her eyes full of sadness and fear, then turned back towards the television. "He reminded me of Adam too." I told her. I knew that's what she was thinking. I could read Kendra better then anyone, and I knew that's why she acting like this.
"Don't mention that name around me." She said getting up, going to her room and shutting the door behind her. Okay, I love her the death but that girl is the most stubborn person I know. I sat watching TV and could hear Kendra faintly crying from inside her bedroom. Now would usually be the time where I'd go in to talk to her, but she needs to be alone, and I respect that.
I looked at my cell phone sitting on top of a card board box, one of the many that were scattered around everywhere throughout the apartment. I pulled Jesse's number out of my pocket, which he had given me earlier and I looked at it wondering if it'd be okay to call. I meet him, and by the end of that afternoon I get his number. That's always a good sign. I looked at my watch, it was only 10:30. Too late to call? But he did say it was alright to call anytime. I say in the same position thinking about it, until I looked at my watch again and saw it was already 11:16. Okay that's too late to call. Isn't it? I got the thought of calling him out of my mind, and went to my room. I put a pair of shorts on, and a t-shirt, and then climbed into my bed. I looked up at the ceiling till I finally jumped out of bed and went back into the living room. I picked up my cell phone and quickly dialed the number on the piece of paper. It rang once, and I changed my mind. What was I doing? It was ten till 11:30 and I was calling to talk to him. After that first ring I hung up. It wasn't even two minutes after I had called that my cell started to ring.
"Hello?"
"Riley?"
"Who is this?"
"Jesse. You just called here didn't you?" Damn the person who invented caller I.D!
"Oh.. Uh.. Yeah.. I'm sorry if I work you up."
"No, you didn't. I was just watching a movie."
"Oh well, I'll let you go then."
"No! I mean.. Its alright.. I want to talk to you anyway." I smiled to myself and got comfortable on the couch.
~Kendra's POV~
Why am I crying? I promised myself I wouldn't cry about Adam. He won't come back. He won't, andd even if I didn't want to admit it, Riley was right. Dom did remind me of Adam, and that scared me. I just want to let go, to be free of Adam and everything that reminds me of him. Things are going to be different. I have Leon again, and Dom isn't like Adam. He won't hurt me, he doesn't even know me. I can't sleep like this. I kept myself away from the world, and I pushed people away from me, but I'm not going to do it this time. Adam and I are over. He's taken over my life when I was with him, but I got away from him, and now its going to be different this time because he wont find me.
I got out of my bed and headed to the kitchen because sleep clearly wasn't going to happen right now. Riley laying on the couch talking on her phone when I came out. To who, I have no idea, but whatever. I sat in the kitchen for an hour or so, till I actually was starting to feel tired, when I headed back into my room for some sleep that was much needed, Riley was still on the phone. Hope she has the cash to pay for that since one, it's on her cell, two it's considered long distance since her phone company contract thing, or whatever you want to call it is still back in San Diego. The girl is insane I swear.
~Mia's POV~
The movie ended and we all separated and headed to bed. All expect for Jesse. He was still on the phone with Riley. Brian and I went to our room and climbed into bed. Something was up. Not just with Brian, but Dom too. Ever since Kendra and Riley showed up.
"Brian, what were you and Dom talking about in the basement?" That has something to do with it, I can tell. Brian got tense, and tried to play it off.
"Nothing. Dom just wanted me to check some things out for him." Okay, he was telling the truth, but it wasn't being very clear.
"Check what out?" He thought for a moment.
"Just some car parts and everything." He can't lie for shit sometimes.
"What did he really have you check out?" He looked and me and sighed.
"Mia, I'd tell you if I could. But, you'll find out soon enough." He explained. Yeah, that makes me feel much better.
