Chapter 11 -
Vince woke up first the next day. He was disorientated at first because of the warm feeling of the girl against his side. The naked girl against his side. He didn't remember how that came about. Then he remembered that Nyssa had pasted out naked in bed after last nights festivities.
She was so peaceful in her sleep. So unlike how she was during every waking moment. What had possessed her to get drunk like that? No doubt Letty put her up to it. Letty had a fight with Dom and needed someone to get drunk with her. Mia would never, because Mia didn't drink. Ever. She was not yet 21 and while Dom would have looked the other way while she had a few she never did. Who knew if she would when she came of age either?
But it seemed that at only 19 Nyssa could already knock them back. She was still up against his side and her hot breath was tickling his neck. She murmured in her sleep and her hand moved from his shoulder down to his waist and she must have had an itchy nose because she rubbed it on his chest.
"You awake?" Vince asked. She was acting sort of awake.
"I am now that you spoke, your chest rumbles when you do that." She stated, still half asleep.
"Aw muffin. It is 11am after all. Not too early. You have a headache?"
"Nope, should I?"
"After all that tequila, yea."
"I feel fine. But it is Sunday and I don't think it matters when I get up. So I think I will try to go back to sleep." She snuggled closer to Vince and then started to come to the realization that she could feel Vince the whole way down her tummy and chest, and legs. Oh my lord, what did she do? "Um, V, where are my clothes?"
"While you were drunk you crawled in here that way. You don't remember?"
"No I sure don't. Um, did anything else I don't remember happen?"
"No, trust me if that happened you would remember no matter what."
"Your confidence is admirable, but if I didn't remember I didn't wear clothes to bed then I wouldn't likely remember anything else either."
"You underestimate my ability to rock your world."
She laughed, rolling over onto her other side and grabbing herself around the middle she was laughing so hard. She couldn't believe Vince was so arrogant. She rolled over onto her back, careful to keep the blankets up around her armpits and laughed some more. There were tears running down her cheeks and she was gasping for breath.
"Hey that's not nice. What you don't believe me?"
"Vince, nothing personal but I don't think I would remember anything if I didn't remember to dress. I couldn't even tell you when I went to bed or how I got here."
"It was just after 2am and you got here over my shoulder."
"See I had no idea."
"Well get up and get dressed and let's go take the car out for a spin."
"Is that all you ever want to do?" She laughed.
"No, it comes second to what I really want to do." He leered at her.
"Get out and let me get dressed."
"The fact that I was here watching didn't seem to bother you last night."
"Yea well now it does so go."
Vince left the room and she got up and wrapped the towel left over from Vince's shower yesterday around her and ran to the bathroom. She showered quickly and did her hair in a ponytail so she wouldn't have to dry it. She left the bathroom in her towel and peeked into the bedroom. It was empty. She hauled on pink track pants with a white stripe down the side and black tank top. She slid on her sneakers and headed toward the stairs. Vince and Leon were sitting there talking but they shut up as she walked up.
She told Vince she was ready to go. She wanted to know what they had been talking about. She knew it had been about her. They both looked guilty. She decided to confront them on it. She asked them what they had been talking about and neither one would answer her. They looked at each other, then at the ground. Leon told her it had been nothing, just guy stuff.
"Well, it just so happens that we aren't going out of this room till one of you tells me what you were talking about. And let me tell you, if you just leave without telling me what I want to know, you will both regret it." She looked from one to the other.
"Well um."
"You see we." Vince didn't want to tell her. He and Leon had been talking about their dance. And what that dance had meant to Leon. He liked Nyssa he told Vince and since Vince seemed to be, well, up to his old ways, he figured that he and Nyssa had a simple business relationship. He was had seen Vince with the blonde chick and then fighting over Mia he had figured that Nyssa stayed with Vince downstairs just because it was easier then having to get Dom to let her stay upstairs.
She watched them look at each other then at her. "Well, I'm waiting." She could see them try to think up something to tell her. What, did they think they could cook up a story psychically like Miss Cleo? "Vince, Leon, stop trying to come up with a lie. I can smell the smoke. You shouldn't try to force your brains to do thinking that is beyond your limited brain power."
They sarcastically smirked at her. "We were talking about your little bender and what I may have done to cause it in some little way." Vince admitted.
"Well, now, was that so hard? Let's go take the car for a run shall we. Well come on." She gestured to Vince to get up. She believed him, she also believed there was more to it then that but at least he told her something.
They headed upstairs and there was Letty, sitting at the kitchen table with her head in her hands looking miserable. Nyssa asked her what was wrong. Letty looked at her like she had three heads and asked her how in the world she was so happy and awake and not, well, feeling like death warmed over. Nyssa told her she had just felt fine when she got up. She asked if Letty was sick. Letty told her she was hung over, just like Nyssa should be. Nyssa laughed and said she did not seem to be prone to hangovers.
Nyssa asked them if they wanted breakfast. Letty thought that might help her feel better so she said yes. Nyssa might not know how to race her car but she could find her way around the kitchen. She made scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, and toast. Just as the three of them were starting to eat Dom came downstairs.
"I thought I smelled breakfast. Where's Mia? She not hungry?"
"Haven't seen her yet today." Vince stated. Then made a face when he realized he owed her an apology.
"Then who made breakfast?" Dom gave a suspicious look at Letty. Her cooking was gross.
"Nyssa." Vince stuffed his face full of pancake and moaned. "It's good too." He said through the mouthful of food.
"Vince, do you have any manners at all? Chew, swallow, then speak." Nyssa swatted him then ate one of the pancakes herself. "Yum, he's right though, it is really good."
Dom sat down and took a plate of food equal to what Vince had. *Thank god I made lots* Nyssa thought. These guys could sure eat. There was still lots of food which was good because Leon and Jesse came sniffing up from the basement and dug in too. Dom looked at Letty and grinned. He told her that she would remember this next time she though she should get drunk. Letty swallowed and stuck her tongue out at him. She told him maybe he would remember next time and not feel up the skanks. Dom gave her a dirty look. They finished up and by the time the guys were done there was no food left to eat.
Mia walked in the back door just then with bags of food.
"Hey Mia!" The group chimed in unison.
"Hey guys. Letty you look like shit. That'll teach you to get so loaded. I went and bought all the food for the barbeque today. I gotta get started on the food." Mia dragged the stuff into the kitchen and started to unpack it all and put it away. She bought food enough for an army.
"Mia has to make the best food ever since her darling Brian will be here." Nyssa sing songed and pulled on Mia's braided hair. Mia laughed and swatted at her. Mia looked at the remains of breakfast.
"Hey who cooked all that breakfast? Don't tell me Letty. I'll wonder how any of you are still alive." Mia shuddered at the thought of eating Letty's cooking.
"No, it was Nyssa, and it was good." Dom said, turning in his seat to look at his sister.
"Yea it was great. I can't remember the last time I had such a huge breakfast though." Leon said as he pushed back from the table. Normally they ate whatever Mia could cook before she ran to open the store then head to school where she was a first year business major. Dom was going to let her manage the shop when she was done, giving her a full time job she enjoyed and him more time to run the garage.
The guys all got up to go and do their Sunday things. They all basically hung out and played video games and drank beer all day. Sometimes Dom would go to the garage and work on his Mazda or a customer car they had fallen behind on but mostly they just hung out at home. Jesse and Leon headed into the living room to play some play station on the big TV. Mia started to clean up the kitchen. Nyssa tried to help her since it was Nyssa that made the mess but Mia wouldn't hear of it. She told Nyssa that she had done her a big favour by feeding the guys now so that she wouldn't have to worry about feeding them till the barbeque was ready that she was more the willing to clean up the kitchen. She told Nyssa to take Vince and go for a drive because Vince was starting to look fidgety.
Nyssa laughed. Mia reminded her that she had promised to speak to him about the barbeque and Brian and how she had to let Vince know he could not do that shit anymore, since Dom had never gotten around to it. Nyssa was not looking forward to that talk, but she knew she had to say something. It was downright embarrassing when your date bet up someone else's date over another girl...
She walked over to Vince and asked him if he was ready to head out. He jumped up so fast he nearly knocked Nyssa down. He grabbed her and pulled her to his chest.
"Sorry, I am just so ready to be out of the house for awhile you know?"
"Sure," Nyssa said, but it came out muffled in Vince's shirt. She reached up and put her arms around his neck. "If you promise to be more careful with me in the car then you are of me in the dining room!" She giggled, looking up at him.
"Deal, let's go." They headed out to the car. Vince was confused by his feelings for Nyssa. He was not sure if he was over Mia or not but he was sure into Nyssa. Though she was not scared of him. He guessed Mia wasn't either but most people who got to know him were. He was big, scruffy, and most of the time armed. Nyssa didn't seem intimidated at all. Could he be into both girls at once? Nyssa unlocked the Skyline then gave him the keys and told him to drive there, she wasn't feeling like it.
Vince couldn't imagine not being in the mood to drive this great car. He wondered if she really had the drive to be a racer. If he had a car like this and someone who knew what they were doing to teach him you couldn't have pried the keys out of his fingers unless he was cold and dead. She belted herself in and looked over at Vince.
