Here's chapter 13, hope everyone still with me enjoys and for gosh sakes
leave a review. Thanks for the person who explained Mary Sue. I really
didn't know. I asked someone else too and I don't get why that is a bad
thing. It is from my brain afterall so if Mary Sue is a bad thing you may
not want to ready this story LOL. I am working on a new story centering on
one of the other characters and the more reviews I get on this story the
sooner the new one gets to you. Well enough about me. Enjoy.
Chapter 13, The Sore loser.
Dom's prediction proved correct as when Torrie woke up her back was killing her. She got up and got dressed and headed downstairs. Mia saw the look on her face before she could hide the pain.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, just a bit stiff is all. I am not use to all this physical labour is all. Don't worry about it." She winced and sat down at the table. Mia did not look convinced.
"Well I am going to tell Dom to take it easy on you today."
"Don't you dare. He will just think I am looking to get treated with favouritism or something or that I am using you to get sympathy or to have you and Brian try to get him to go easy on me and I wont have it. I am fine. Nothing a little work wont loosen up. I already took something and I feel better already. Don't say anything Mia please." The last thing she wanted was for Dom to think that she was looking for special treatment. She was looking at Mia sincerely.
"Ok I will not say anything but you look really sore and I am agreeing under protest to not say anything. If I look at you today and you look any more sore I am going to make you tell him yourself and take time off. Got it?"
"Yes mom! Lord, you can't be more then 2 years older then me. What made you such a mother hen?"
"Taking care of a houseful of guys who act like they are about 10 years old is what. Eat your breakfast. Your muscle needs the protein to heal."
Torrie ate because after not eating at all yesterday she was darn hungry. She was done and gone to the garage before Dom even came down. He thought that she was not even up yet when he did not find her in the kitchen. He went upstairs looking for her and when he could not find her he thought she had run away. He looked out and saw her car was still sitting in the drive. So she was not gone far. Unless she hitched or something. He went back down to the kitchen. Mia was there this time.
He went over and hugged his little sister. "Morning Mia."
"Morning Dom. Sleep well?"
"Sure. Why?"
"I would think being a slave driver would weigh heavy on your mind."
"Now Mia that is not fair. I admit that I drove her hard yesterday but it was just for her own good."
Mia gave him a look that said simply 'ya right'.
"What's for breakfast little sis?"
"Whatever you make, I gotta get a move on if you want the store to open on time."
"Cereal it is then. Say have you seen Torrie? I can't find her anywhere."
"Ya her and Vince are already at work in the garage. I fed them both about ½ hour ago. Why?"
"Oh I was just hoping she was ok after last night is all. Man did she get wasted on Thursday night and she was not doing good yesterday either. I hope she does not thing I am an ass for making her work even though she did not feel good. For that matter what are they doing out there today? It is Saturday. She should take the day off and relax."
"If she does not think you're an ass for how you treated her then she is the only one. I can't believe you Dominic. But I think her and Vince went to work on Vince's car for something to do."
"Ok that's cool then. Wait that means her and Vince are alone in the garage?"
"Yes is that a problem?"
"No, of course it's not." Dom said this as he was walking to the back door. When Dom walked with that stride, watch out. Mia laughed to herself. Sure, he was not concerned. What was up with Torrie and Vince? They were always together lately. Was she falling for Vince? Was the feeling mutual?
Dom walked over to the garage and entered quietly. Vince and Torrie were working on the exhaust system of Vince's car. Torrie was trying to get a clamp loosened and it would not come off. Vince came up behind her and grabbed the wrench too and loosened it for her.
"There you go Torr."
"Thanks V. So why are you working on your car. Seems like it is already pretty well moded out to me?
"Ya but it could be better thus the new muffler."
"Ok. Maybe I need to do some work like this to my car. Maybe new struts or something." "Your car looks like it is lowered already. Maybe a new decal or something, princess, he he." Vince had quickly fallen into pet names for her.
"You think cause I am a girl I only care about how it looks eh? Well I want that car to be completely slammed."
"But I think it is set already Torr, you have the best of everything. Why work on it."
"I enjoy it is all. I could use a new coat of wax. Maybe I will start there."
"See girls do care more about looks." Vince had oil on his finger and touched the tip of her nose, leaving a brown spot on the end. "Hehe, you look like you have been kissing the bosses a."
She flew at him laughing. "Don't say it you bum." She dipped her finger in oil and continued to chase him. She got him and rubbed the oil on his cheek. He started to wrestle with her and tickle her. She was going crazy trying to get him off and laughing. They had quickly developed a relationship like brother and sister. Neither could believe they had ever thought of the other in the sense of dating.
"Get off me Vince." She laughed out. They continued to play fight on the floor. He was tickling her and she was screaming and laughing. She got him under her and started to tickle him. Dom was not happy to see her straddling his best friend. Even though it was totally innocent and there was not a better guy for her then Vince really. She could be just the thing to finally get him over losing Mia. But he wanted her for himself and he was not good at sharing. Vince was also ticklish and he was shouting with laughter. It was sort of funny to watch but he was jealous of the easy relationship they seemed to have.
