This story is written a lot further then I have posted and is almost done.
I am working on another story now.You'll have to wait and see.
Chapter 14, The Car can Wait.
"The garage is not a schoolyard, children." They both looked up to see Dom looming over them. Vince was able to just look strait up from his vantage point on the concrete floor but Torrie had to tip her head way back to see him.
"Oh hey Dom we were just kidding around." Vince told him as he helped Torrie up off the floor.
"Well take it somewhere else. This is not a safe place for that kind of behaviour."
Vince backed off quickly, he was very aware that Dom was mad at more then the fact they were rough-housing in the garage. Torrie on the other hand did not seem to care. She was still annoyed at Dom and did not plan on letting him off easily.
"Oh go to hell Dominic. Come one V lets just 'take it somewhere else', like down to the beach. We'll take my car and finish this up later."
He was going to change his name so she could not use Dominic like that. She could let him know he was not going to like what came next by the way she said his name and what form his name took. Dom was not happy she had told him off like that either.
"It's Saturday, no one's around, there are no cars here and everything is put away. There was no danger to anything, you are just pissed off that some one knows how to have fun and not include you. 'That kind of behaviour' Jesus, Yes dad we're sorry it'll never happen again Sir."
Vince did not want to have to defend his new friend from his oldest and dearest friend but Dom looked ready to hit her. Vince thought she may well have gone too far. Dom was looking kind of red under his dark tan and dark skin. Vince did not want to leave them alone. He was not sure Dom was not going to finally lose it and get violent with her.
"Hey Vince you think you could leave us alone for a minute man?" Dom asked with a pointed look over Torrie's head."
"Well I kind of want us to finish my car Dom, then we do have plans to take off for the beach after we finish up to test run the car." He looked up and saw the look Dom was giving him. He changed his mind about not leaving. "Um sure man no problem. Just let me know when you all are done in here." He gave Dom a look like you better not hurt her, but he left the garage and closed the door.
"What is the idea of telling me to go to hell in front of Vince like that? What were you thinking? Vince is one of my oldest and dearest friends but he still has to respect me as the leader of this team! You thinking you can tell me to go to hell does not foster respect you know!" No one ever told Dom to go to hell. That was the real issue here. Not who saw it happen, just that it did happen. The closest he had ever gotten was Mia when she got angry with him but even she never came right out and told him to go to hell.
"Oh Dom come off it! I don't know how much more of you I can take. One minute we are all buddy buddy like a couple of guys, then things, well, um, you know, get out of hand other ways, then you pull this 'I am the supreme ruler of the team' bullshit. I can't take much more of you. And we did have plans." She finished with a grimace as the muscle in her back was sore again now. Rolling around on the floor had likely not been the best idea. Dom was over his anger in an instant when she looked hurt.
"See you did get hurt. The garage is no place for horseplay."
"Dom, I got hurt doing the breaks on the civic the other day and it is still sore. I pulled a muscle in my back. It was not wise to wrestle with Vince anywhere when I have a sore back already."
"Why didn't you tell me you got hurt? I would have let you have time off to get better. You must think I am some sort of ass!"
"Well the thought had crossed my mind." Torrie was dead serious.
"We can't go on like this girl; it is too stressful for everyone."
"I don't know what you mean Dom." She knew damn well what he meant but she was not going to admit it. Dom knew she got him too but he was not going to force it.
She looked like she was in a lot of pain. "Where does your back hurt?"
"It is up the left side, around my shoulder blade. It is just a pulled muscle I am sure of it."
"Well let me see what I can do for you ok?"
"It is fine Dom really. I will be fine. I will just go take an Aspirin or something."
"Yes you will be fine cause I give great backrubs." He swung her up into his arms and carried her over to the couch in the office of the garage. "Dominic put me down. Why am I always telling you this? Next thing you know you will have pulled muscles in your back."
"Doubtful that I will ever be weak enough for your weight to be heavy, and you are always telling me cause I am thick skulled and use to getting my own way without someone with a smart mouth telling me off." She laughed at that. She did have a smart mouth.
He did put her down though; he lay her down on her tummy on the couch in the back and pealed the coverall off her. She just had on a little tank top underneath and he pulled that up over her head. She was not wearing a bra which surprised him. He did not plan on seeing her bare back like that. Man it was just her back, it should not be affecting him like this. He put his mind back on her pain. Man he could count every vertebra in her back and see all her ribs. She was so thin. He made a mental note to tell Mia to add more fat to Torrie's food.
"Really Dom, this is not necessary."
"I disagree. I owe you. I have been a first class jerk to you and you should not have even been working yesterday. I knew you were sick and tired and I should have let you spend the day in bed getting over it. When people are already stressed and tired they make mistakes and get hurt. Now I am going to make it up to you. I really am good at this I am told."
"Wow did you just admit you were wrong about something. I may just faint." She saw the dirty look he gave her over that comment and continued. "No Dom I did something stupid and I think we would be even. I got too drunk in a place I did not know with people I did not know. I had no control and if you had not come and gotten me who know what might have happened."
He started to rub her back. It felt really good. He really was good at this. She thought it would help her pain because a lot of the tension was leaving already. Or she would fall asleep here with him. She loved it when he talked. She could just listen to him talk forever. When he wasn't yelling at least. He has the best voice. So uniquely Dom. He could be talking about dirty injectors for hours and she would just sit there and listen with a stupefied look on her face.
"And I need to thank you for taking care of me that night too. You could have left me to fend for myself but you didn't. It was very nice of you Dominic Torreto. Sometimes you do nice stuff like that and surprise me." She was half asleep now.
"Well we both did some things we regret that night and we should likely just try to forget it and move on. We should start over from this point onward. Deal?"
"Deal" she murmured. She was lying on the couch on her tummy with her face to the side, facing him. Dom could see her profile, she was relaxed and he felt like he could do this for her forever. Her skin was warm and so soft. But she was practically asleep. He stopped and she looked up at him.
"I feel so much better now Dom. Thanks."
"You're welcome." Dom could not help it. He had tucked her hair off to the side and her whole back was just there. He kissed her on the nape of her neck then trailed kisses down her spine to the small of her back then back up. Her skin was so pale and smooth. He kissed her on the lips. She kissed him back. He stopped at that and looked down at her. She smiled up at him innocently. She was so damn pretty. He ached for her. He kissed her again, he picked her up with her arms around his neck and her legs around his waste then sat on the couch. He pulled her into his lap so that she straddled him, facing him, and kissed her again. Deeper this time but still gentle. She kissed him back and he could not believe how sweet she was. But she was so innocent too. He kissed her eyelids and the tip of her nose. Then the corner of her mouth and then down her neck. He bit her on the shoulder. She stopped him then kissed him on the nose. They laughed softly. Then she nibbled her way down his neck. She bit him where his neck and shoulder met hard enough to mark him. She licked the spot because she had to taste him. She wanted to be closer to him so she pulled his tank top over his head. He helped her. They kissed again, deeper and with more passion. Dom did not know why he was fighting it. He wanted her and she wanted him. It would have to be enough for now because he had to have her. He had his arms around her back his hands tangled in her hair, which he had let free. It was all around them. He loved her hair. They were locked together and the moment for gentleness was gone. The passion that was between them had taken over.
