CHAPTER THREE
When they got back to the house Mia and Kesia apologized to each other.
"Kesia, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. Really I didn't," Mia pleaded.
"Mi, it's okay. I just hate it when you disagree with the decisions that I make. That's all," Kesia replied.
"So, apology accepted?" Mia asked.
"Apology accepted, Mi," Kesia replied finishing her desert and placing her plate in the sink.
Kesia walked out to the living room where the gang was watching a movie.
"Hey, look who came home," Leon said sarcastically. "Come join us, baby girl. The movie's just getting good."
"Actually, I'm going to go grab a quick shower. So, if any of you lazy asses, besides Letti, need to take a piss, I suggest you do it now," she said winking at Letti who smiled back.
Kesia heard five 'no's' and then ran upstairs to take a shower.
She grabbed everything she needed, went to the bathroom, and locked the door behind her. She turned the water on so that it could heat up while she got ready. She undressed, got in the tub and turned on the shower. As soon as the water hit her skin, she let out a sigh of relief. A shower was just what she needed to wash away what had just happened. She turned her head up, closed her eyes and let the water massage her face. As soon as the water hit her eyelids, she had a flashback of Jesse kissing her. Kesia opened her eyes and shook her head.
"Whoa! Kesia, it was just a kiss. Best friends kiss best friends all the time. It's no big deal," she whispered to herself.
Kesia shook her head again. She grabbed the soap and the shampoo and began to wash up. When she finished, she turned off the water and got out. She grabbed her towel and quickly dried off. She dressed quickly into pj's which were just a black tank top and a pair of hospital pants. She brushed her hair and pulled it back into a ponytail. She threw her towel and clothes into the hamper. When she exited the bathroom, she noticed it was very quiet. She didn't hear anybody, not even the TV. Kesia crept down the stairs quietly. When she reached the bottom, nobody was in the living room and the TV wasn't on. She went to the kitchen and found a note from Dom on the table. It read:
Kesia,
Gone for a little ride. Be home soon. Don't stay up and wait for us,
okay?
Love,
Dom
With that Kesia was furious. She crumpled up the note and threw it in the trash.
The gang had never gone for a street race without her. She usually rode in Mia or Vince's car and she would stay in the car and watch Dom kick everybody's ass. Dom wouldn't let her race until she was eighteen and that was just around the corner, but she was still furious. None of the street racers knew Dominic had a little sister, with the exceptions of Hector and Edwin. Mia rarely raced, but Kesia, oh Kesia wanted to follow in her big brother's footsteps, but skipping the two years he spent in jail when she was ten. Those two years were hard on Kesia. When Dominic returned he had promised Kesia he was never going to leave her again. And it would kill Dominic to see his baby sister go to jail.
Kesia slammed her fist down on the table. Then she dashed out of the kitchen and ran upstairs to her bedroom. She didn't bother shutting the door, because nobody was home. She quickly changed into a pair of low rider jeans and left her tank top on without bothering to put on a bra. She pulled her hair out of its ponytail and let it rest on her shoulders. She threw on her favorite necklaces. She had to look like one of those street racer hoes, but mostly she found that she looked tough and ready to rumble, like Letti. Before she went downstairs, she made sure her thong straps were above her jeans, just like Letti. She had to make sure that nobody, especially Dom, saw her, because she wasn't just going to sit in her car and watch Dom kick everybody's ass, she was going to get out, walk around and hang out.
Kesia checked herself in the mirror one last time, and then she grabbed the keys to her red Honda 2000 out in the garage. She went back downstairs, went out the front door and locked it behind her.
Kesia entered the garage and smiled at the sight of her car.
"Time to go for a little ride, baby,' she whispered.
She looked around the garage for the NOS tanks. She knew if Dom found out about this, she'd be grounded for life. She grabbed two NOS tanks out from behind the toolbox and hooked them up to her car. Once she was done, she hopped into her car, so excited she was almost sweating.
She pressed the button to open the garage door. As soon as it was up, she started up her car and drove off with 50 Cent's "In Da Club" blaring from her speakers. She was good to go. She pressed the garage door button again to close it.
Kesia had no idea what was in store for her.
