A/N: Sorry if I screw up but I'm trying to learn how to do the italics, so
if anyone knows how, if this chapter's italics don't work, email me. Also,
whenever I do the whole "pause signified by dot dot dot" it only comes out
as one dot. Help? Greenglowchassis@hotmail.com thanks ~K
~Jesse's POV~ "Great meal, Mia." Vince says, looking at her, almost longingly. We sit around the table outside
"Thanks. Gin washed the lettuce." Mia grins. " Hey, speaking of Gin, let's play Go Fish."
"Ok. I'm champion at that game!" Gin laughs.
"Naw, she means another kind of Go Fish. You put all these questions in a bowl and ya go around the table and everyone picks one out. Everyone has to answer the one question" Leon says. "Blah, blah, blah."
"It's one of those 'getting to know you' games they play on the first day of high school and shit." I glance at her. /IDamn she's pretty/I
"Oh. Well..Ok." She says rather hesitantly. I wonder why. "What kind of questions?"
"Anything really." I can't stop staring.
"I'll go get a bowl." Mia goes inside and returns with a blue ceramic bowl, some paper, and a couple of pens. We all write a few questions down and toss them in the bowl.
"Alright, Dom." Mia says. He picks out a question.
"Oh god. What age did you lose your virginity?" His gravely voice quiets for a second. "I'm not answering that."
"Come on dawg! We all have to."
"Fine. 16." Dom says gruffly.
"16," I say quickly.
"18," Brian answers.
"Me too." Leon replies.
"17," Vince takes a swig of his Corona.
"17," Letty looks at Dom for a second.
"17," Mia says meekly.
"I'm a virgin." Gin states. Everyone's head turns to her in surprise. "Haha, just kidding. 16," Everyone laughs, in a relieved sort of way.
" God, ok. Jesse. Question." Letty hands me the bowl, and I squint on the dim light trying to read the question.
"If you were on a desert island, and could bring 3 things, what would they be?"
The game continues for a couple hours, but by 8 most people had gone inside and the table is lit only by a few vanilla candles. Leon and Brian were in the living room watching a movie. Mia had started washing a few dishes. Dom and Letty went upstairs to pursue /Iother/I activies. The only people left outside are Vince, Gin, and me. We'd left the bowl alone for a while and had just been talking about ourselves.
"So Gin, what's your family like?" I ask her. Her face clouds over for a second and she stares at a nonexistent speck of dust on the table.
"Complicated." A pause ensues. "I should probably get home. It was really nice to meet you guys. Maybe I'll see you again sometime." She walks into the house, and I follow her.
"I'll show you out." I say lamely. I just want to say goodbye.
"Ok."
"Do you need a ride home?" I ask quickly.
"No. I drove from the store," she says gesturing to her car parked along the street. "But thanks for offering."
"Uhh," I say stalling for a few seconds with her. "Do ya think, maybe, we could do something sometime?"
She looks up, surprised, but pleased, a smile playing on her lips. "Maybe." She teases me. "Yeah, sometime." She gets in her car and drives off. I do all I can to keep myself from jumping up and down like a five-year old.
* OK the next chapter will be the Letty/Dom sitch that prettyg36 wanted. Sorry if they're short, but I'm making them very frequent. I'll start to make them longer if I can.
