Chapter 13 - You're not as smooth as you thing.
She thanked god she only had a month left as she stopped at Manda's. She figured she would drive her cousin to school for a change. Manda came out of the house just as Nyssa pulled up and rolled down the window.
"Wanna roll with me today Manda?"
"Sure, why are you driving Vince's car?"
"He said I should take his car till I am comfortable driving mine on the street."
"That was nice of him. So are you and he an item or what?"
"Or what I guess. I don't even really know."
"What do you mean you don't even know? Don't you live at his house?"
"Well, yes. But he is still hung up on Mia and we have decided that till he can look at me and say honestly he wants me not Mia with no doubt in his mind we are just friends."
"Well, that's ok anyway cause I don't thing you should date Vince. He is scruffy and not very smart. You can do better then some stupid grease monkey. You should go after Leon. He's a better catch."
"Hey, Vince is not stupid. He is very much like Danny in a lot of ways. I know you didn't think Danny was stupid. Leon is a bigger grease monkey than Vince and I think I'm going to learn to be a mechanic too. Dom wants me to. He says I can work for him if I do. But Vince is scruffy. He is not dirty though. I like the way he always looks like he just woke up."
"Well, whatever. This is a sweet car that's for sure. Have you raced yet?"
"No, I'm far from ready to race. Vince and I practise on the track every day or so. He said he could get Dom to teach me but Dom's not very nice."
"Are you crazy? Dom is the best and he is so perfect looking." Manda was getting all hot and bothered thinking about Dom.
"Manda, he's mean when he gets impatient. And he made Letty cry a few times when he was teaching her to race. Vince has been nothing but patient with me. Plus why are you thinking about Dom that way? They all know you have a crush on him and he is never going to leave Letty."
"What do you mean they all know I have a thing for Dom?"
"Just what I said. You must have told the wrong person or they saw the way you look at him cause even Dom knows. And Letty would beat your face off if you ever went for him. I mean he might sleep with you but as far as girlfriends go he is never leaving Letty anyway and you deserve better. If you think Leon is cute you could go after him but I would advise you to forget Dominic."
"Shit. I didn't think I was that obvious. I guess you're right though. I don't want to mess with Letty."
They pulled up to school and parked the car. The climbed out and there were people all over them right away. Asking where Nyssa got the car and whose it was. Looking at it and ohing and ahing over it. Nyssa said it was her boyfriend's, so what if he wasn't, yet, if she had her way he would be, and that he was a huge guy. She asked if they had heard of Dom Torreto and almost everyone said yes. She told them her boyfriend Vince raced on Dom's team and they were like brothers. Her popularity went up just because she knew Dom and his team. People wanted to know tech specs on the car. She told them she didn't know because well, she didn't and she didn't think Vince would want people to know about his car.
The bell rang and they all started in to class. Nyssa remembered to arm the car's security at the last second and she clicked it on. The car chirped and flashed its lights and they headed into class. Nyssa and Manda talked about the fact that she lived with Vince even though they were not dating. Nyssa told her it was better then worrying what Ed would do to her at his house and that at least if her and Vince hooked up she would be a willing participant. Manda said that her dad was mad Nyssa didn't come live with them because he had promised Mark he would watch out for her while he was in jail. Nyssa promised to go talk to Uncle John soon and explain how things had happened so fast and how if Vince had not come in when he did Nyssa would have been in trouble in the house.
When they got to their first class there were two police officers inside talking to the teacher. The teacher pointed at her and Manda and they heard him say that's her. They didn't know which one of them he was pointing at. The officers walked over to the two girls and asked which one was Nyssa Williams. Nyssa identified herself and they asked her to come with them to an empty class. Since one was a female officer she said it was fine if the door was left open. She knew she didn't have to answer anything without a lawyer present but since she had no idea what this could be about she went along with them. Since she had done nothing wrong she didn't want to look guilty by refusing to talk to them. She better find out what this was about first.
They walked into the empty class and the officers sat down and asked her to do the same. She took a seat close to them but not right beside. She asked them what this was about. They told her that her step father had reported her as being a runaway. Nyssa laughed and told them that was funny. They asked why that was so funny. Nyssa told them that well, one how many runaways went to school, and two, he had tried to assault her and that most kids that ran away didn't find all their shit in boxes on the lawn when they came home from school. The two officers looked at each other. They asked her if she did in fact have all her stuff from his house. She told them yes. That she had come home from school on Friday to find all her stuff packed up in boxes on the lawn and the only reason why Ed cared now was because he realized she owned a valuable car and he wanted to get his hands on it to sell it. Plus she was 19, old enough to move out if she wanted, and she had a real father who was in jail.
The officers asked her about the guy she left with. The tall man with the tattoos. They said Ed was very concerned that the man was a pimp or a drug dealer. Nyssa laughed again and told them he was a mechanic at a local garage and that he had just given her a place to stay while she had no where when Ed put her out and that he was certainly not a pimp or a drug dealer. Nyssa had wondered if he was a drug dealer at times but she knew he was not a pimp. The thought of Vince as a pimp made her laugh again. The officers had been informed she was only 17 by dear old Ed. There was nothing they could do about her not living with him anymore at this point. Then they looked at each other. That blue car in the student lot had looked like one of Torreto's team mate's cars. They knew all of those guys were too old for high school. Maybe the girls new room mate was one of the Toretto racers. They all had tattoos and it had looked like one of their cars.
They asked her if she had this car of hers with her today. She told them no, she had her friends car here today while he did some work to hers at his garage. They asked his name. She told them Vince. The officers looked at each other. Vince was a well known member of Dom's team. He was the enforcer for one thing. He watched Dom's back in fights etc. They asked if she was sure that she hadn't seen anything illegal at Dom's house. She told them she was quite sure unless partying was illegal now. They told her no and thanked her for her time. She headed back to class and sat down.
At the break Manda had to know all about it so she told her. Then she dug in her pockets for a quarter and called Vince on his cell phone.
"Hey V."
"Nyssa, how's school going babe?"
"Shitty. Ed called the cops and told them I was only 17 and a run away. And that you kidnapped me."
"Aw shit, are you downtown?" Vince hated the cops and the police station but he would go get her if he had to.
"No, once I told them I was 19 and that I hadn't run away or been kidnapped that he kicked me out and only wanted me back for my car they were fine with it and said they couldn't do anything about it if they wanted too."
"Well that's good. Were you scared?"
"Not about that I know my rights and if I didn't want to talk I would have insisted on calling my lawyer, but Vince, they recognized your car in the lot and asked me if I was staying with you. I said yes because I didn't know if I should lie or not you know? And then they asked me stuff about you. Like if I though you were a drug dealer or stuff."
"Or stuff? What did you tell them?"
"I told them you were a mechanic at a friend's garage and that was all I knew."
"What was or stuff? Nyssa you are a shitty liar so you better tell me."
"Well they asked me if you were a pimp or dealing."
Vince laughed. "They thought I was a pimp?"
"Ya I laughed too. I thought that was funny. I told them all I knew was that you worked at your friend's garage and that I knew you were not a pimp or a drug dealer."
"Well thanks. But I could be a pimp you know. I could get enough girls to be a pimp. Nothing says that I couldn't." Vince chuckled. "Did they ask you anything else?"
"Just if I ever saw illegal stuff happen at your place. So I told them not unless partying counted and they said no. That was really the end of it. I am sorry that I even told them I knew you. But they know your car pretty well."
"Don't worry about it. The truth is always the best answer unless you really need to lie. It keeps you looking honest. And ya they all know my car pretty well. No sense lying about that."
"Ok V as long as you are not mad at me."
"No, just finish your day and come home Nys, and we will do a little driving around the neighbourhood and then get some dinner ok?"
"Sounds so good Vince. See you around 4:00 or so ok? I have to drive Manda home."
"Ok, see you then."
Vince hung up and turned around to see all the guys staring at him.
"What's wrong with Nyssa?" Dom asked.
Vince gave them a run down of what had happened and how Nyssa had handled it. Dom was pleased. Nyssa had told them all the right things and had lied when she had too about what she had seen in the house. She would have seen underage drinking, some drug use and of course street racing, but she didn't tell them about any of it. She must have a cool head on her shoulders. Dom went back to the car he was working on.
Vince and Leon were talking about the same thing. How well Nyssa had kept her cool and protected their backs. It was just what one of them would have done. Protect the team at all costs. Leon asked if Vince was starting to fall for Nyssa. Vince still wasn't sure and told his friend that. Leon nodded and told Vince that he thought he was nuts if he didn't go for her but that if Vince decided he didn't want her Leon would like a chance with her. Vince growled at Leon and Leon laughed and told Vince he may as well admit to himself he wanted Nyssa now and save himself the effort later. Vince told Leon to go to hell and they started back on the car they were working on.
Nyssa showed up home at 4:10. She ran in the house and called out for Vince. She knew he was home because her car was home. He answered her back from downstairs. She went down looking for him in the living room then his room and finally the bathroom when he was not in either of the first two places. He had his hand under running water and there was blood everywhere. She asked him what he had done. He told her he had been cutting wires and the knife slipped. She yelled at him for cutting wire with a knife not wire cutters or pliers. She took his hand out from under the water and looked at it. It was not deep enough for stitches she didn't think. She had him stick it back under the water and looked around. She found the alcohol and a bandage and turned off the water. She made him sit down on the tub and held his hand over the tub.
"This is going to hurt like hell baby." She told him. He nodded and she flooded the cut with the alcohol. His breath hissed between his teeth. She set the alcohol down and rapped his hand in the bandage she had been able to find. She wrapped it up tight to try to stop the bleeding. She told him he should be ok without stitches but she thought driving was out for a while. He told her he would be fine in an hour or so. As soon as it hardened. He was sitting on the side of the tub still and she was standing in front of him. He asked her how the rest of her day went, looking deep in her eyes. She told him boring, staring back. He stood up. She didn't back off. He slowly leaned down and kissed her. Her careful care of him had touched him.
She kissed him back. She always did. Vince guessed he knew she was into him for awhile now. He was running his good hand up her back and she was running her hands up and down his back too. He stopped kissing her mouth and started down her neck. She tilled her head to give him easier access. He found the sensitive spot where her neck and shoulder met and bit her. She moaned. He kissed her on the mouth again and she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
Jesse walked into the bathroom and saw Vince and Nyssa kissing. He stuttered out an apology and walked out. Nyssa turned red and burrowed her face into Vince's chest. Vince laughed and she felt the vibrations of it rumble in his big chest. Nyssa told him she didn't find it all that funny. Vince had seen the look on Jesse's poor face however which had been a site to see. Vince thanked her for taking his mind off his hand. She looked at his hand and was pleased to see the bandage was not even red so the bleeding had stopped. He tried to get her to go back to his room with him and she refused. She told him it was time to go for a drive and he groaned at her.
She reminded him he was the one who said she didn't practise enough and laughed at him. He told her that one day off while he was injured would not kill her. She said that she wanted to go practise. He said he wanted to show her something in his room. She told him he was not half as smooth as he thought. She won and they took his car for a run. She didn't know why but he wanted her to drive his car. So they did and she did well with it at the track. It wasn't as fast as her car but it wasn't as touchy in the shifting department either. She told Vince she wanted that tint he promised her so she would feel safer driving her car. Vince promised to get on that soon.
They drove around for an hour and then headed home. They ate supper and Nyssa and Mia went up to Mia's room to do homework. The guys and Letty talked about the job they had to do tonight. Dom asked if Vince had thought about what he was going to tell Nyssa if she woke up when he left in the middle of the night. Vince said yes, he was going to tell her he couldn't sleep and was going for a drive. Dom nodded, that made sense. The team went and watched some TV. Nyssa came down around 10 and watched some TV. She told Vince she was going to bed around 11. He told her good night and she went to bed. About half an hour later they all went to bed because they had to get up at 4 to go and do a job.
