Chapter 6
Rebecca strolled over to the Toretto house and found the living room filled. She smiled then told everyone hello.
"I'm hungry let's go!" Letty blurted out while getting up from the couch.
Dom laughed then walked over and wrapped his arms around his wife. "Come on baby we're leavin"
Megan made sure she was riding with Mia and Brian, she wasn't ready to be in a car alone with Leon. Rebecca noticed how Megan keep looking over her shoulder at Leon. She smiled to herself then walked up to Leon.
"Leon" she said.
"Yes?"
"Do you mind if I ride with you?"
Leon smiled then said, "Sure thing, Oh V is riding with us also."
Rebecca just smiled then stood next to Leon's rental car.
"You guys coming?" Dom yelled after he pulled out onto the street.
Leon rolled his eyes then yelled back, "Just go and we will catch up. Frank's Place right?"
Dom waved then he and Letty drove off. They were followed by Brian, Mia and Megan.
Leon leaned against the car and cross his arms over his chest.
"So Leon you live in Florida?" Rebecca asked hoping to break the silence.
"Yes, I live in Miami."
"What do you do there?" she then asked.
"I design race cars," he said with a grin.
Rebecca smiled then said, "You love it don't you?"
"Jesse and I used to design cars and we always talked about starting our own business..."
"Letty told me a lot about Jesse, he would be proud of you."
Leon smiled then reached into his car and laid on the car horn. "Come on V!"
Rebecca knew Jesse was a sore subject for Leon. What is up with all these people? Everyone is walking on eggshells! She had to keep telling herself that this wasn't any of her business. She pulled the hair band from her wrist and put her hair up while waiting for the mountain man to come out.
Vince strolled out the house while pulling a tee-shirt over his head. "OK Leon we can leave." The grin that graced his face vanished when he saw Rebecca. He stopped in front of her then looked her up and down.
"You comin?" he asked making it sound more like a command than a question.
"Yes" she said before yanking the car door opening and getting in the back seat.
Leon was already in the car. He started the engine then yelled at Vince to get in.
Vince got in and slammed the door. "Fuck V" Leon hissed before pulling out the drive way.
As the made their way to the restaurant, Vince stared at Rebecca through the side mirror. Why is SHE coming with us? She shouldn't be with us! She isn't apart of the family!!
Rebecca knew he was staring at her. She was getting more and more angry and him. He'd been nothing but mean since she had met him. Why should she be nice to him? All his is going to is glare at me anyway!
Finally when they made it to Frank's, Leon jumped out the car and ran inside. Vince shook his head and slowly got out. He pushed the seat up and stood there waiting for Rebecca to get out.
He had this 'are you coming' look on his face. Rebecca took in a deep breath before stepping out of the car. Her left foot got stuck and she fell forward. Vince blocked her fall by catching her in his strong arms.
"Damn" she said while standing up.
Vince closed his eyes and smelt vanilla. He inhaled the scent then felt his body tighten. He hated that his body was affected this much by her. Rebecca began feeling a little uncomfortable so she pushed against him.
He let go of her then stared down at her.
"Thank you" she finally said before walking inside the restaurant.
When Vince finally made it inside he took a seat next to Rebecca. It was, of course, the only seat open. He nodded over to Dom and ordered a beer.
Rebecca watched as the Toretto family enjoyed their meal together. She also paid close attention to Leon and Megan. They sat across from one another and played the 'I'm not looking at you' game. What is wrong with those two? They can't tell how in love they still are?
Vince stayed pretty quiet through out the meal. He sat back and watched Dom and Letty. They looked so happy. He was jealous of their happiness and wished Ally and Vincent were with him. His focus then turned to Rebecca. She was being silent like him but she was smiling. Her face would light up when she watched Dom and Letty. He didn't understand why he disliked her so, she wasn't a mean person but something about her didn't sit well with him. Rebecca was far too pretty, almost model like. Her hair was as dark as Letty's but her skin was a paler shade. She was more exotic looking with dark almost black eyes. Her figure was nice, hell it was more than nice. She was an inch taller than Letty with longer legs. Everything about her was different from Ally. She wore more stylish clothes not the jeans look that Ally was famous for. He knew he found her attractive, he was a fool. The problem was this, she wasn't Ally and she could never be Ally!
~~~~~
That night
Vince couldn't sleep, he'd taken a long hot shower and still couldn't bring himself to close his eyes. He even shaved his nasty beard off thinking the refreshed feeling would help him rest easier but no such luck. He pulled on his jeans and grabbed his tank top and headed out the back door of Dom and Letty's house.
Once outside he looked up at the night sky. The sky was clear and full of stars. Vince took off his shirt and laid on the ground. He was woken up a couple hours later by Letty.
~~~~~
The following week
Letty and Dom's baby still hadn't come. Things stared to seem like old times. That would soon change.
~~~~~
One dark night
The storm outside raged. The rain slamming against the windows. Rebecca jumped when the lights went out. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out the matches from a drawer. After light a candle she made her way back into the living room. She keep replaying seeing Vince sitting alone in Dom's backyard.
He sat at dust looking up at the night sky. He had shaven and no longer looked like the man who just came down from the mountain. She watched as he slowly pulled his shirt over his head and laid down on the ground. He again stared up at the sky, as if he was counting the stars. She watched as his chest rose then fell. He looked almost peaceful but Rebecca knew he wasn't. The feelings locked deep inside him left him a bitter person. Who pushed everyone who cared for him away.
The sound of someone pounding on the front door caused Rebecca to be pulled back into reality. She walked to the door and opened. Vince pushed past her before she could say anything. He was soaking wet and smelt like beer.
"What!?"
He smiled then starting walking further into the living room. Rebecca shut the front door and then followed him. As Vince walked down the hall, she called after him. Asking him what he wanted. All he did was wave his hands up in the air and go into her bedroom. Great he's drunk! She could hear him stumbling and knocking things over in the darkness. She turned and went and got the candle so she would have some light. Once she was in the room, she saw him laying face down on the bed.
"Vince" she said.
"Vince?"
Damn! She put the candle down then knelt down by the bed. Reaching out she tapped his shoulder trying to wake him up. Come on and wake up! Once again she tapped his shoulder. His head began moving which lead Rebecca to believe he was getting up. She was about to ask him if he was all right when an arm reached out and pulled her onto the bed. Before she knew it Vince was lying on top of her pinning her to the bed. She stared up at him but barely could see his eyes.
"If you don't mind," she told him while trying to move.
Vince sat back on his knees and let her sit up. She pulled her legs out from under him and scooted away from him. He could barely keep his eyes opened.
"Are you OK?"
He smiled after she asked her question. Rebecca watched as he relaxed his body and ran his hands through his hair. What is he doing?
Vince then slowly crawled over to her. For some reason, Rebecca couldn't move. She just stared at him like he was a creature she'd never seen before. Vince sat up again and put his hand on her cheek. She could tell he had no idea who she was. He thought she was Ally.
"Vince why don't you sleep here and I'll sleep on the couch?" she asked hoping she would break the spell he was under.
He said nothing. He only leaned closer to her and placed his lips on hers. Rebecca founded herself being wrapped up in his arms. His hands fell upon her back while pulling her closer to his body. His kiss wasn't forceful, it was soft and filled with longing. She thought he would have let go of her since she wasn't responding to the kiss.
Instead of letting her go, Vince growled deep in his throat and crushed her even harder against him. His kiss becoming demanding. His lips left her and traveled to her neck. He felt her hands against his chest.
"Ally."
Rebecca shut her eyes and didn't know what she was going to do.
"Vince," she said before feeling him fall against her. He passed out thank god!
~~~~~
Vince woke and didn't know where he was. He rolled off a bed and fell hard onto the floor.
"Fuck."
He slowly stood up and realized he was in Rebecca's room. Why am I here? What the fuck happened? He went to leave the room but noticed a picture on her dresser. He breath caught in his throat, he stood in front of the dresser staring at the picture. How did she get this picture? Vince found himself mad all of a sudden, he snatched the picture off the mirror and put it in his back pocket before storming down the hall.
Rebecca jumped up from the couch and look surprise to see him.
"Why was I in your bed?"
She stood up and walked around the couch facing him. "What?" she then asked.
"Answer the question." Vince insisted.
"You were sleeping," she told him.
"Don't be a smart ass, what the fuck was I doing there?"
"Calm down, you were sleeping and that was it!"
"Don't tell me to calm down!" he then yelled at her.
"What is your problem?" Rebecca then yelled back at him.
"YOU!" he said while taking a step towards her, "YOU BEING HERE BOTHERS ME, YOUR ENTIRE SHIT HERE BOTHERS ME, THE WAY YOU SMELL BOTHERS ME!"
"You're crazy you know that!" Rebecca said while shaking her head.
"I'm crazy?" he asked.
"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME! YOU CRAZY ASS BITCH!"
She watched as Vince storm out the backdoor. Rebecca went into her room and slammed her hands down on the dresser. Ah!! That rude ass... Her thoughts were stopped when she noticed the picture was gone. She slowly began shaking her head. Son of bitch!
She ran outside and found Vince next door at Dom's. He was helping with Sunday lunch. He was standing next Dom talking, while Dom was turning the meat over on the pit. Rebecca found herself hesitating for a moment. Maybe she shouldn't start any shit with Vince. Her anger soon got the best of her. I'm sick and tired of everyone walking around on eggshells! Does he think he was the only person who lost someone?!
~~~~~
Dom looked up and saw Rebecca walking over. He was smiling but his smiled faded when he was the expression on her face.
"WHERE IS IT?" she yelled up at Vince.
"Whoa" he said while taking a step back from her.
"WHERE IS IT?" again she yelled up at him while taking a step closer to him.
"What are you talking about?"
Dom eyes widen when she said, "The picture where is the fucking picture!"
Vince features tightened when she brought up the picture. "It was my picture not yours."
"WHERE IS IT? I WANT IT BACK!"
"NO!" He yelled at her. Fuck this bitch! He thought, That was my picture and she isn't getting it back!
Rebecca was so mad she wanted to scream. How dare he take it from her? All he had to do was ask her to give it back, but she knew she wouldn't have done that either. The only thing she knew was that she wanted the picture back and didn't care if he agreed or not.
"FINE," was all she said before stepping forward and sliding her hand into the back pocket of his jeans. She pulled the out and stepped away from him. For some strange reason, she knew it was in his back pocket.
"THANK YOU." She turned and began walking back next door. She couldn't believe that she had actually done that.
Vince stood there with a look of shock on his face. He growled then started after her. She was about to open the back door when he reached out and spun her around.
Fuck! Dom thought. His attention turned to the backdoor. With all the yelling, Leon, Mia, Brian, Megan and Letty had come outside.
"Get your hands off me!" Rebecca hissed after she was spun around. "You need to learn how to control your anger!"
"I want the picture back!"
She laughed then said, "No!" Rebecca pulled away from him and put her hands on her hips. "I don't understand why they put up with your shit. And it is shit! You are a very unhappy person who by the way takes it out on everyone around him! Don't think for one moment I am going to let you treat me like you are treating everybody else. Not that you haven't been treating me like shit anyway! That shit don't fly here buddy so get the stick you've shoved up out your ass and deal with the fact that they are DEAD! Cause no matter how hard you try they aren't coming back and you know what I don't see why the would. Cause Vince, you are pathetic! So I am taking that picture and putting it back where it belongs because you don't deserve them anymore!"
Rebecca felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. She couldn't believe that she just said all that and to his face.
Her words cut right through him. Without thinking, Vince stepped closer to Rebecca and grabbed hold of her upper arm causing her to wince in pain. He looked deep in her arms and say a fury within them.
"DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT THEM AGAIN!"
Vince let her go when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "V" he heard Dom say. He focused back on Rebecca then told her. "Don't look at me, don't talk to me. I want you out of my house by the end of the week."
Rebecca watched him storm away. He walked past the everyone and went inside Dom's house. Dom starred down at her.
"Don't" she told him, "You all take his crap and say nothing. I won't! I can't!" Rebecca turned and went inside. She ran to her bedroom and slammed the door. Her eyes filled with tears. She was mad that she'd said those things to him, even if they were true. Something in her snapped, she was tired of Vince's bullshit and wanted it to end. These last couple of weeks he'd been nothing but mean to her. Making her feel like she didn't belong, always trying to push her buttons. She looked down at the picture in her hands and smiled. As her tears fell upon the picture, she knew that the women in this picture was watching over her. She felt a connection since the first moment she saw the picture. Laying there on the floor, like someone left it for her to find.
~~~~~
Vince had stormed into the house and went to his bedroom. He slammed the door so hard a picture hanging on the wall fell and glass shattered all over the floor. He was so angry. He took a seat at the end of the bed and placed his head in his hands. He shouldn't be here. It killed him everyday to wake up and not be next door with his wife and his son. When he was alone upstate he could focus on himself. He would do nothing but sleep all day and stay up all night. Pushing all thoughts of Vincent and Ally out of his mind. He looked up and saw his reflection in the mirror. Tears flew down his cheeks, his pain still there right under the surface.
