Hey all. Well put up three new chapters cause I could not decide were to
stop till I picked three. Alexia, yes the title is taken from a song from
TFATF called 'Deep Enough' by Live. I feel that song is a man asking his ex
if the man that the woman is currently with runs his feelings deep enough.
It seemed to fit the story and I have every song from TFATF but Say Aah by
Shawna and it was never ever released. ( There are rumours it will be on
the soundtrack for 2 fast 2 furious this summer however. I tend to have
music for different moods and music really speaks to me so sometimes
picking a song that fits the mode of the scene helps. Hope you all enjoy
the new chapters.
Chapter 10, The Crime.
Dom found them right away. Everyone went to Cosmo. He hid in the shadows in the corner and watched her dance. Torrie knew he was there pretty well as soon as he walked in but she ignored him and let him think she did not know he was there. She could sense his presence right away. They were dancing to 'Full Moon' by Brandy. She thought he would take a hint from the fact she kept glancing his way, but he just stood there and watched her dance. She was being far more dirty in her dancing then she normally would with Lex, Edwin and Vince. They were putting on a good show. She was more then a little drunk. So was the whole group. She was glad she had Vince to take her home. Vince was not drinking much, just the odd corona. She could sense Dom was about to loose it with her. Funny how she was that in tune with him. Maybe it was a good sign he was close to loosing his cool. Dom and his legendary cool, the way he kept calm about everything drove her. She felt pushed to make him show feelings. Maybe she could get a feel for how he felt about her under the cool image he portrayed. Maybe that was why Letty had always been pushing. Cause he never showed his feelings till you drove him to the point of no return. She wondered if he ever felt anything but anger that deeply.
But she was still not supposed to even know he was there. This Club played the strangest music but when you were drunk and dancing it all worked out. Now they were playing "you want this" by Janet Jackson. She sang along like she was singing to Edwin. She did feel happy and free for a change, even if Dom was creeping her out by acting like a stalker in the shadows.
They finished out that song then Edwin excused himself to go talk to friends he had just noticed. Torrie kept dancing with Lex and Vince. Edwin had spotted Dom in the shadows and did not want to be around when he came to claim his girl. Dom had a murderous glint in his eyes and Edwin did not want to be Torrie when he decided to claim her. Did not want to be the guy she was dancing with when Dom came over for that matter. Edwin really did not think she was a bitch like his first opinion had been but he still thought Dom had a thing for her. Torrie and Lex went and got another drink. They each did a shot of tequila and then got a rum and coke to take on the floor with them. Torrie really rarely drank. She was just not into it but she was having great fun tonight. She was really blitzed. She and Lex started to dance dirty together. They were close enough in their friendship not to worry about what people thought. Vince thought that was just fine. He was going to have to go sit down for a minute. He was not up to his old self just yet from his accident on the truck. He had lost a lot of blood and by the time he got out of the hospital he had gotten weak. But he was building his strength back up one day at a time. But he sure was going to enjoy the show while he sat this one out.
Man the girl could dance that was for sure. She was doing every man's dream of a girl dancing on that floor. She had rhythm. Of course no one who drove with the natural skill Torrie did could not not have rhythm. That was about all Dom could take. He was incredibly angry and now he was turned on by her dance too. That pissed him off. He would have thought himself above that kind of thing turning him on. He started to walk over to where she was dancing. He had noted her dancing with Vince and knew that Vince liked her. Well that was too bad because no dating between team members. Dom noticed Vince had had to go sit down. Vince hated to admit he was still not 100% yet. Oh well that's what he gets for encouraging her to pull a stunt like this, Dom thought. Dom was fast approaching their location. Lex really did not know what he looked like so she could not warn Torrie that he was coming. Just as he reached her the song "Ignition remix" started to play. Torrie loved this song. Torrie grabbed Lex and laughed at her friends face. "Come on girl lets dance."
"mama rollin that body
got evey man in her wishin
sippin on coke and rum
im like so what im drunk
its the freakin weekend baby
im about to have me some fun."
As her and Lex started to dance again she realized Lex was staring at something over her shoulder. She leaned over and whispered to her friend,
"Whatchya staren' at girl?"
"Only the most gorgeous man I have ever seen. Bout 6'4" 240, bald head never looked so good on a man, muscles like those wrestlers you see on TV."
Torrie groaned. Lex answered "Yep he is that damn good."
"Lex bet you your next drink it is Dominic."
"No way girl, that guy behind you is like Playgirl's idea of the ideal man. Wish he would turn around I wanna see his ass. Bet he has buns of steel. No way that fine man is some grease monkey."
"Lex, I'm a grease monkey as you put it and so is Vince. Yep, it's Dom, I can feel it, he found me. Is he dark, like you can tell he is more then tan?"
"Oh shit it might be him; yep he's kind of dark, more then tan and has the deepest brown eyes ever."
Torrie grimaced but there was nothing else to do. "Here goes nothing cause it is him for sure."
She turned around and saw Dom standing there behind her.
"Hey Dominic." His first name again. It never boded well for him but god it was sexy when she said it. Man was she drunk Dom thought.
Lex could not believe that was Dominic. And Torrie snuck off on him why? Lex went and sat down with Vince, who was watching the proceedings with a great deal of interest. They started to talk. Back on the dance floor Torrie knew why Mia had been so worried about her tricking Dom. He was livid, cheek muscle going a mile a minute.
"Hey Torrie, what's with sneaking off on me?" Even drunk she could tell he was beyond pissed.
"I didn't sneak, I just left. You were busy and I didn't want to bother you." Truth sort of she thought with a mental laugh. Dom did not seem to get the difference between sneaking and just leaving. He still looked just as angry. Or maybe even angrier. She tried to diffuse his anger. "Come on dance with me. You are ruining the song. This is not the place for this conversation." She started to dance with him and he went along. She was doing a rendition of the dance she had been doing with Edwin. She decided to throw caution to the wind since she was so drunk she could just claim she did not remember anyway. And Bootie shake was her forte. In between the current song and the next she asked him,
"Why did it take you 5 songs to come get me Dominic? I knew you were there all along."
"Don't try to start Torrie; I am so mad at you right now. Do you know what could have happened to you? In a strange place with people you don't know. Man girl, you don't know these people for shit. And I can't remember the last time I saw anyone as fucked up as you and your little friend are." He should have known better then to try to talk to her till she sobered up. But he was surprised she had known he was there. He thought he had been well hidden. He tried to hurt her like she had hurt him by taking off. "Besides I was enjoying the show."
She smiled like a cat into the cream at him and he knew with all certainty that while the show had been innocent she was far from ashamed of the view she gave him. So much for hurting her feelings. He had given her a compliment. Damn. "I know Vince. All I wanted to do was go have a good time. I was proud of the night I had and when Edwin asked me out I wanted to go. I'm sorry I made you mad." She was finding that she was the queen of mood swings when she was drinking. Her bottom lip was out in a pout and was quivering. Him being so angry over what seemed like such a little thing seemed very unfair all of sudden.
"Aw hell, don't cry. Please. I was worried when I could not find you and no one knew where you were. Please don't cry." Dom never knew what to do with a crying woman. He leaned down and kissed her right there on the dance floor. Gently at first then with more passion. Likely encouraged by the fact that they were doing a very sexy dance already. Now they were dancing close while he kissed her. She was in heaven. She died or something. Dom was kissing her like he meant it. The song changed to Mesmerize by Ja Rule and Ashanti. Dom broke off the kiss but he kept dancing with her. She was his. When he would come out and tell her that he did not know. But he knew that he did not want to share her with Edwin or anyone. He had never taken Letty dancing. No don't go there, he told himself. He took a moment to listen to the song they were dancing to now.
I wanna get away, cause you know like I know
And there's a better day, a-comin, I'm hooked on your lovin
Believe me, and when you hold my body
I know you need me, wait for me bay-bay
I've been goin half crazy for your love
And I was told that the sex, better than drugs
Then get addicted, boy listen
I'm the only piece of the puzzle you're missin
Like when we kissin - bye bye bye
You got a girl that'll - ride ride ride
So take me, tonight
And do what you do to me baby.
Torrie danced very well. They looked good together. He could tell by the way the girls around were giving Torrie catty looks and the way the guys were sizing him up. He was glad they all found him too big to mess with. He had to remember he was mad at her and that she was drunk. But he knew the song too. It seemed to hit a little too close to home. Man do what you do to me baby. Too much.
Shorty, are you really gettin bored with me, or him?
Cause though I play a lot of games, I play 'em to win
(But then again I'm still young and I'm livin my life)
You know you're right and I'm the type
to pull up to your bumper, get your number
(BABY, I can only help but wonder)
What life would be without (my sweet baby)
you're And my baby (holla if you hear me)
They danced like they were meant for each other. She was surprised that Dom could dance. He was good really. She turned her back to him and he pulled her back into his chest and ran his hands down her sides. She turned back around and shook her bootie down the floor in front of him and then back up. Dom was in shock she was dancing with him so, well, sexually. He felt like they were giving the rest of the bar too much of a show and he was not modest by any stretch. Torrie was in her element and did not even seem to notice. Oh well, he pulled her to him and ran his hands down her back and grabbed her butt.
You can understand that my love is pain
And how I feel in vain, it's just a woman thang
(It's a man's world, but I understand)
But there's still nothin different boy, stick to the plan
(You be my down ass, witcha round ass)
I know I'm feelin you (like you feelin me)
The way you're holdin my body, the way you touch me
Torrie glanced up at Dom from under her eyelashes and he was staring at her, but not her face. How embarrassing. She was not even very well equipped in the chest department. She put her mind off that and looked over at Lex. Dom though she was looking at Vince. He was not impressed because he was the one dancing with her not Vince. And dancing well for that matter, like they were made for each other. But if she wanted Vince more then well she could have him. He was about to walk off on her when she looked back up at him with laughter in her eyes.
"I think that Vince and Lex have hit it off."
She was right. A new song was playing and Vince and Lex headed out onto the floor together. Dom was pleased. He wanted to see V happy and if this Lexus girl was going to do that then that was fine with Dom. Plus if Vince had his own girl then he was not going to be going after Torrie.
Then the song was over and Torrie was upset. The club was going to close in 10 minutes anyway. They played a slow song for the last dance of the night. Dom did not want to stay for it but Torrie insisted because it was one of her favourite slow songs. Ok, most songs were her 'favourite' of some sort but My Immortal by Evanescence really was a very good song. Dom relented since Vince and Lex were still out dancing. He pulled Torrie close to him and because of her huge shoes she fit to him like she was made for him. Her head on his shoulder, her breath brushing over his neck. They finished out the song and could see Lex and Vince dancing almost as close. They did not know each other as well as Dom and Torrie. "Come on Torrie, I am taking you home." It was then that Dom realized she could barley stand upright. He put his arm around her and held her up.
"I have to tell Lex I am leaving. I can't just leave her. She'll worry." Torrie realized that did not sound great when she had just left him earlier without much thought about it. Dom gave her a look that let her know he had had the same thing occur to him.
"Ok tell her and lets go." Torrie walked up to her friend, leaving Dom standing in the middle of the dance floor.
"Hey Lex Dom is going to take me home now."
"Holy shit that is Dominic then! So I was right."
"Yep. That's him."
"Girl I can't believe that is your Dominic. He's hot."
"He's not my Dominic."
"Hey I saw the two of you dance."
"Ya well it didn't mean anything to him. I am glad he did not choke me on the dance floor. He is really mad at me. In fact I gotta go now, that muscle in his cheek twitching means he is still really pissed off." Dom walked over to the two girls to see what the hold up was.
Lex remembered she was going to an after party but she had wanted Torrie to go with her. Dom put a stop to that idea before Torrie could decide to do it. "No sorry but Torrie has to work tomorrow and she is going to have quite a hangover as it is. She will call you." Vince let them know he was sticking with Lex and Torrie was glad she would not be going to a party with strangers all alone.
"Later Lex." Lex pulled her close and whispered, "He's a total hottie but you pushed him really far. Good luck girl. Take care of you."
"He's all bark, (she hoped) I'll be fine girl. Take care of you."
Dom did not know what they had talked about but he did not think it went well for him. The other girl, Lex he thought, had looked at him like she would scratch his face off if he hurt Torrie. He had to help her out to his car and then they headed home.
"Dom lets go for a drive. I wanna go for a drive."
"Where Torrie, it is 2am for crying out loud."
"I don't care where we go, but drive fast Dom." She laughed. "Drive fast speed turns me on." Dom gave her a strange look.
"I guess you are not a fresh prince fan. I will have to play 'Parents just don't Understand' for you some day."
"Ok, Torrie a fast ride it is. Hold on to something."
"Anything in particular?" She asked raising her left eyebrow and cocking her head to one side.
"The holy shit handle should work." Dom laughed at her. He knew what she had been hinting at. She grabbed the door handle.
This was fundamentally different from street racing. They drove too fast on packed streets. Dodging in and out of cars. It was a rush for sure. Dom loved it, this is what he lived for and he was happy that she seemed to feel the same way. She was laughing with the exhilaration the whole time and she was not even driving. She wasn't one bit scared either. She had let go of the handle almost right away and was just sitting in the seat like they were out for a Sunday drive.
She could watch Dom drive all night. He was in his element, he looked almost boyish. He was so relaxed and happy. He drove with skill and even at speeds well above the posted limit she felt totally safe with Dom driving. But then the adrenalin wore off and she started to sober up. She got tired in a hurry. She yawned.
"Thanks for the ride Dom but maybe it is time to head home you think?"
"Sure Torrie, that was a fun ride wasn't it." Dom meant it. He had great fun driving with her watching him. She had enjoyed him as much as the drive itself and the wind in her hair.
"Um hum." She murmured and twisted around to lay her head on his thigh and she started to drift off. She fell asleep like that curled up in the front seat of the car with him.

She wasn't one bit scared either. She had let go of the handle almost right away and was just sitting in the seat like they were out for a Sunday drive.
She could watch Dom drive all night. He was in his element, he looked almost boyish. He was so relaxed and happy. He drove with skill and even at speeds well above the posted limit she felt totally safe with Dom driving. But then the adrenalin wore off and she started to sober up. She got tired in a hurry. She yawned.
"Thanks for the ride Dom but maybe it is time to head home you think?"
"Sure Torrie, that was a fun ride wasn't it." Dom meant it. He had great fun driving with her watching him. She had enjoyed him as much as the drive itself and the wind in her hair.
"Um hum." She murmured and twisted around to lay her head on his thigh and she started to drift off. She fell asleep like that curled up in the front seat of the car with him.
