"So Vince. Tell me about the Team." Boston leaned back in the seat, feeling pretty good.
"What is there to tell?" Vince asked looking at her from the corner of his eye.
There was something about her that captivated him and made him want to know more about her. She was a lot like Letty yet very different and he loved that. He noticed the tip of a tattoo on her shoulder as she shifted around. It looked like angel wings but he wasn't sure.
"What happened a year ago that made you all disappear for six months before the team and Blondie came back?" Boston looked over at him, noticing the scar winding it's way up his right arm.
"I thought you would have known. You seem to study the Team pretty well." Vince was shocked.
"What? You guys were the ones behind the truck heists?" Boston rolled her eyes. "That's kiddy stuff compared to..." She stopped mid-sentence, remembering that she was supposed to keep quiet about her past.
"Compared to what?" Vince was intrigued by the minor slip up of the brunette beauty to his right.
"Nothing. Forget I said anything." Boston said quickly, mentally smacking herself.
'And I was worried about Bales slipping up. Jesus I'm so stupid sometimes.' Boston thought to herself, looking out the window.
"Boston? Are you ok?" Vince asked, noticing the tears in her eyes. They pulled into the parking lot as a light rain began to fall, which was odd because it was the summer.
"I'm fine." Boston said, jumping out of the car and walking towards the store. Vince climbed out after her and locked the door before jogging after her.
"Slow down Speedy. They have enough Corona for a while." Vince said, touching her shoulder lightly.
"Vince you wouldn't understand." Boston muttered before walking down the beer isle.
'What does she mean I wouldn't understand.' Vince thought as he watched her pick up a couple of cases of Corona.
"Alright. So we need four cases and a thing of Tylenol for tomorrow morning." Vince changed the subject, noticing Boston's change in attitude.
"Sounds about right for you guys." Boston said quietly.
"What do you mean 'you guys'?" Vince asked, looking confused.
"Bayley and I aren't staying. We need to get outta here as soon as we sober up tomorrow morning so in the mean time we'll be over at the hospital with our brother." Boston answered, looking down at her boots.
They came back ten minutes later, beer in tow. Vince and Leon steered Boston to the living room to play video games as Dominic got hold of Bayley.
"Bayley, why is your sister so uptight?" Dominic asked, handing Bailey a Corona. She smiled and shifted uncomfortably. Dominic moved her blonde hair out of her eyes and Bayley looked around for Boston.
"She's worried about us and some other stuff." Bayley said, finishing off the Corona rather quickly.
"You guys should stay here for a while and relax." Dominic said as the two of them walked down the steps to go for a walk.
"She won't. WE can't." Bayley said sounding very disappointed. She kept her eyes on the tiny stoned concrete drive and concentrated on where to put her empty bottle.
"Here, I'll take it for you. Want another?" Dominic asked, taking her bottle.
"Sure. Boss will kill me, but why not." Bailey giggled, her eyes meeting Dominic's eyes.
He shook his head in amusement at the blonde, blue eyed girl who seemed to be so shy, yet so outgoing. He was puzzled at her and Boston's behaviors, he couldn't figure out their deal. He knew there was something they were both hiding form, but he couldn't' figure out what.
"Don't let her get that drunk." Leon advised to Dominic in the kitchen as he was getting Boston a refill as well.
"You are one to talk." Dominic retorted and heading back outside. He sighed as he handed the drink to Bailey.
"Thanks." Bayley smiled, as lightening flashed form above in the dark sky. She shivered and Dominic gave her his DT shirt. She wrapped it around her, then continued to work on her second corona.
"So, you have a brother who crashed, I take it?" Dominic asked, making Bayley turn away from him. She nodded. "I'm sorry, Bay. I just am trying to figure out if you girls are in trouble and how I can help if you are." Dominic admitted honestly, wiping a tear from Bailey's face.
"Sorry, its' been a long time since I have talked to anyone." Bayley confessed as they sat down on the stone tiers that acted as a fence along the Toretto house. She took another big drink and looked up at the sky, her big blue eyes sparkling. She jumped at the sound of the door to the porch slamming. Dominic put a hand on her shoulder to make her breathing slow down. "I'm a little jumpy." She said, not looking towards the house.
"Bayley, it's time to go." Boston said, her sweater tied around her waist as she folded her arms. Dominic stood up, looking at Boston, knowing he was going to have argue to keep them both there. He could tell Boston had a hell of a temper just by her stiff stance.
"Come on, Boss,. Let's just hang out a little bit longer, please?" Bailey asked, batting her eyes at her sister. Her sister turned her back, not wanting to stare into those pleading eyes. She hated Bailey's big eyes trick.
"Boston, I have an extra room you guys can stay in." Dominic offered, his voice light, not wanting to argue with her.
"Thanks, but no thanks. We should get on the road." Boston said, giving Bayley an exasperated look. She knew her sister wouldn't be happy at just staying a little while and she scolded herself for giving into coming to the party in the first place.
"I'm tellin ya, I got a job for you, a place to stay, rent free for now, and food on table. How you going to pass that up?" Dominic held out his arms.
"Yeah, and you also want me to let my sister fall madly in love with your Toretto charm." Boston growled, becoming defensive. Dominic pulled her away from Bayley and looked at her, as if to say why would you say something like that.
"Oh come on Toretto. You didn't think I wouldn't know about your reputation." Boston snarled, her temper getting the best of her seeing as she was fairly drunk.
"What reputation?" Dominic frowned, seeing the belligerent look on Boston's face.
"Oh that's cute. You love blondes for one nighter's right? You just don't like having a commitment with a blonde. So how many have you cheated on Letty with?" Boston growled as Brian came walking out on to the porch in search of Boston.
"I haven't cheated on Letty damn it!" Dominic growled back.
"Oh I touched a nerve! So you have. What's the number so I can go tell Letty about all the blonde skanks you've slept with while dating her?" Boston snapped. Brian winced, cheating on Letty was a touchy subject with Dom.
"Listen closely. I don't like the fact that you beat me and I'm not going to listen to you mouth off." Dominic said, suddenly becoming deathly calm.
"Dom, man, let her be...she's drunk off her ass. She doesn't know what she's saying." Brian pulled Boston to him.
"I know what I'm saying Brian. Don't cover for Dominic." Boston growled as Bayley took off into the house without anyone noticing.
"Boston. Not now." Brian muttered into her ear. She huffed and shut up. "Just let me take up to my room and let her sleep."
"Brian!" Boston burst out, looking up at him.
"Fine. Just get her up there soon or I'm going to kick her out on her ass." Dominic frowned.
Brian really hadn't had a woman since Mia went off to Harvard Medical. They had broken up because of the distance and the fact that they wouldn't see much of each other. Dominic knew that Brian was just waiting for Mia and he hoped that someone was going to come along and change that.
