Chapter 4
Claire woke up late the next morning. She was supposed to pick up Vince at eight- thirty and it was close to eight- fifteen already. Claire groaned. She had wanted to be there early no need to make him upset at her un- necessarily.
She arrived at the hospital close to eight forty-five. She walked up to the front desk. "Hi. I'm here to pick up a. friend. Vincent Adame. Could you tell me where I can find him please?" She asked the nurse sitting behind the desk.
"Yes. He'll be in the outpatient waiting room. It's actually on the other side of the building. Go down the hall. All the way down past the emergency room." The woman informed her.
Claire nodded her thanks and followed the instructions.

Vince sat in the waiting room. He scowled at the nurses huddled at the desk. They were like hawks, watching him and whispering to themselves. He just wanted to get out of the hospital. I hate this fucking place! Where is that damn broad? I don't have all day. Whoa! Now that is one Fine lady! Brian's sister can take all the time she wants. He thought when he saw a curvy woman walk into the room. She had to have been no more than 5' or 5'1 in height. He watched her with keen interest as she walked over to the desk. She had straight brown hair in a ponytail that fell to just above her rear end. He noticed she wasn't skinny like Mia. She had more definition, but was obviously toned. She wore denim shorts that barely covered her rear and a black tank top. He could see the muscles in her legs flex as she walked. His mind flashed with the thought of what those legs would look like wrapped around his body. He was so lost in his thoughts he hadn't noticed her come up to him.
"Are you Vince?"
Her voice was soft and gentle. Vince shook his previous thoughts from his head. He nodded, confused as to why she knew his name but happy just the same.
She smiled at him.
Vince's heart seemed to lighten at her smile. She had the deepest green eyes he's ever seen in his life. They were so expressive.
"Hi. I'm Claire. Brian's sister." She said.
His heart sunk. If that wasn't enough of a shock she did something else that threw him for another loop. She bent over and gave him a light hug. He could smell her vanilla scent.
"You ready to go?" She asked.
Vince broke out of the trance she had him caught in. "Oh hell yeah! Let's go." He stated firmly and led the way out of the hospital.
He walked so fast Claire had to jog slightly to keep up with him. When they were finally outside he let her lead the way to her car.
As Claire pulled out of the parking lot she saw Vince scowling. "Is there anything you need before we go?" She asked politely.
He shook his head no and focused his attention on the window to his right. Just don't talk to her, the less talking the better. She's Brian's sister. Don't forget. You don't want to mess with that. He kept telling himself over and over again. Hoping if he repeated it enough then he would actually believe it. This is definitely gonna be a long car ride.

If he didn't want to talk that was fine by her. She had plenty of cd's to last her the entire way home. She wasn't gonna sit in silence for 8 hours that was for sure. "Do you mind if I put on a cd? I don't like to drive when it's quiet." She asked him.
He shook his head.
Claire pulled out the cd binder from behind her seat and set it on her lap. She flipped through the book until she found a cd she wanted to listen to.
Vince watched all this as she continue to drive at the same time.
She put in the cd and shoved the binder back behind her seat. She turned up the volume as the music started to play.
Vince looked at her sharply when she began to sing along to the music.
She stopped singing. "What? You said you didn't care." She said innocently.
He said nothing, just looked at her.
"You don't like Disney songs? Want me to change it?" She offered, sweetly.
Vince wanted to throw something, but decided against it. He said nothing and stared back out the window.
Claire stared at him out of the corner of her eye. Face it girl. He is one damn fine looking man. She still couldn't get over how incredibly gorgeous he was. He wore a beard that hasn't seen a razor in days. He was scruffy, but she liked it. He was skinny, probably from being in the hospital for a while. She could tell thou that he had muscular arms. It was his eyes that got to her the most. They were so expressive. He didn't need to speak with eyes like that. Claire decided to cut him a break. She pulled out her cd binder and handed it to him. "Here, why don't you pick out something?" She offered.
Vince hesitated. It was her car after all. He would never let someone tell him what he could listen to in his own car. Then again, he didn't want to listen to freaking Disney songs for eight hours. He picked out a rock cd that he thought might be good and put it on. She nodded, approving his choice.
"I love this cd." She said as the music started.
Vince rolled his eyes at the window when she once again sang along to the music.

Brain paced the living room anxiously.
Mia watched him, amused.
"Do you really think Claire will be all right with Vince?" He asked. He really was worried about her. He was afraid Vince would be mean to her. After all Brian has been at the end of Vince's short fuse several times.
Mia smiled at him. She walked over and gave him a hug. "Don't worry Brian. I'm sure Vince is being civil. well civil for him anyway. Besides I'm pretty sure your sister can take whatever he dishes out and give back just as good." She reassured him.
Brian had to laugh. "Yeah you're right. She's the only one I know who has a temper just as bad as Vince."
