Chap 5 (Meeting Adrian)

"Well it was about two months after I left L.A."

Flash Back

Brian sat at the local bar nursing his beer. It had been nearly 2 months since he had left L.A. 2 Months since he betrayed Dom and the team. It hurt that Dom wanted nothing to do with him anymore. Taking a swig of his beer Brian gazed around the bar. He was just about to give up on finding anyone interesting, when he caught a man in the back looking at him. The man was bigger then Dom, with the most amazing green eyes, Brian had ever seen. Brian Flashed the man a dazzling smile and went back to drinking his beer. A few minutes later a man bumps into him. The guy is heavily drunk and starts leaning into him. "You're really pretty," the man slurs out breathing in Brian's scent he says "And you smell really good."

"Yeah that's nice," Brian replies trying to push the drunken man off him.

"Come pretty boy why don't you and I head back to my place."

"I don't think so," Brian replies pushing the man away.

"Come on I'm sure even a pretty boy like you likes to get laid."

"Look I'm not in the mood, and even if I was I wouldn't come to you."

"You thank your better then me," the man slurred, "Just because you look really good," the man leaned forward and tried to kiss Brian, he didn't get far before he was grabbed by a strong pair of hands.

"I pretty sure the man wants you to leave him alone." A new voice adds.

Brian looks up to see the same pair of green eyes he had caught staring at him, holding the man back.

"Let go of me," drunken man replied. When he was released he staggered back a little. "This is my pretty boy go get your own."

"I don't..."

"He doesn't want you, I'm pretty sure he made that pretty clear." The man interrupts Brian.

"And what he wants you," the drunk me slurs stumbling a little as he tries to step forward.

"Look man, your drunk why don't you go home and sober up some, before you get hurt."

"Don't tell me what to do. Now move," he replies trying to push past the much bigger man to get to Brian.

"I'm not letting you pass," the sober man replies pushing the drunk back. The drunk tries to take a swing at the man but before he can connect his fist is caught and he's slammed up against the bar counter. "I'm not telling you again, go home." The sober man growls out.

"Alright," slurs the drunken man. When he is let up he slinks away.

"Are you alright," the other man asks looking Brian over.

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks for that. I really was in no mood to deal with that. I'm Brian by the way."

" Adrian and it was no problem. I don't blame the man for trying to hit on you though."

"Really," Brian asked giving the man a small smile.

"Really, why don't you come sit with me? I'm sure no body will bother you at my table. Maybe when can talk get to know each other better."

"Sure," Brian says rising with his beer. "And maybe I can find out how often you rescue people from the drunk. Adrian laughs and follows Brian back to his table.

End Flash back

"That's how we me. He stopped that drunk from hassling me and everything else just fell into place from there." Brian says holding the ice pack to his eye.

"When's the fist time he hit you," Dom asked.

"Why?"

"I just wanna know B."

"Dom…….."

"Alright I wanna know how many times I have to kick his ass."

"Fine," Brian says with a small smile, then turned serious. "It'd was on our 3 month anniversary. We had an entire restaurant to ourselves."

Flash Back

Brian and Adrian sat across from each other in a deserted restaurant , a single candle lit between them. "I can't believe you rented the whole restaurant for us," Brian said glancing around the empty restaurant then back to Adrian, giving the man a soft smile.

"I'd do anything for you Bri, you know that."

"Yeah," Brian said smiling at the other man. "Thanks."

Before Adrian can reply the waiter comes to the table. "Hello gentlemen, welcome to Nicole's. My name is Ronald and I'll be your waiter for time night."

"We'd like to start with drinks tonight. Can we have a corona and a bottle of your finest wine."

"Sure thing," the waiter says writing the order down then turning the Brian. He gives Brian and approving look then asked, "and what would you like sir."

"I……"

"He's fine," Adrian growls out not liking the way the other man is looking at Brian. The waiter looks from Adrian to Brian.

"Sir," he asks Brian.

"He ordered for me, I'm fine." The guy shakes his head then leaves. " Adrian what the hell that was pretty wrong."

"Like you didn't notice the looks that asswhole was giving you."

"He was just looking Adrian."

"Well he shouldn't be doing it." Before Brian can reply, the waiter comes back with there drinks.

"Are you ready to order," the waiter asks after setting the drinks in front of the two guys.

"Yeah, I'll have the baked fish meal," Adrian replies looking at the mineu.

"And I'll have the stake meal," Brian replies handing the waiter the menue.

"Are you sure that's what you want, your boyfriend doesn't want to order for you," the waiter asked giving Brian a sly smile.

"Excuse me," Adrian growled out.

Both Brian and the waiter started laughing at the look of anger on Adrian's face. " Adrian he was just joking with you." Brian explained as the waiter left.

"It's not funny Bri, I don't like that guy. He's an asswhole."

" Adrian please calm down."

"Calm down the guy thanks I'm a joke, and obviously you agree with him."

"He doesn't think you're a joke. And neither do I. Can we please not argue today."

"Are you saying all we do is argue."

"No Adrian I'm saying you're always trying to find a reason to argue."

"Is that what you think," Adrian asked.

Brian looked up at Adrian the man looked like he was two seconds away from smacking him. " Adrian……" Before he could finish what he was about to say the waiter walks back with their meals.

"Fish meal," the waiter says putting a plate down in front of Adrian. Then he turns to Brian giving him a flirtous smile, "and stake for you," he says still smile.

"Thanks," Brian says returning the smile.

The waiter winks at Brian then leaves. Brian laughs then looks up at Adrian to see the other man practically fuming. Before he can ask Adrian what's wrong he is struck across the face. The blow to his face is so strong he is knocked out of his chair.

"You little shit," Adrian yells coming to stand in front of Brian. "You little slut you thank you can just sit there and flirt in front of my face and I wouldn't do anything."

"I didn't……" Brian began only to be cut off by a vicious backhand.

"I don't wanna hear any lies. People like you always think they can get away with anything because they look good."

" Adrian.."

"No," Adrian yells. "I should of known a little whore like you couldn't be trust." Then picking Brian up by his arm he whispers in his ear. "You are mine and mine alone. And after tonight I'll make sure you know it."

End Flashback

"After we got home he took his time beating me. He said he wanted me to always remember that I belonged to him."

"Bri……"

"He apologized the next day," Brian interrupted, "said he loved me and I drove him crazy. Promised he'd never hit me again but that was a lie."

"Brian," Dom tried again, it was taking every bit of self control he had not to go find Adrian and stomp the man into the ground. Only the look of pain and hurt on Brian's face stopped him. "Why?" Dom asked.

"But I always forgave him," Brian said not even acknowledging he heard Dom. "I just wanted someone to fill the emptiness I felt after you left me. I didn't want to be alone."

"God, I'm so sorry B." Dom said hugging the smaller man. "You're not alone. As long as I'm breathing you will never be alone again." Dom said. But if Adrian ever so much as looks in your direction again I'll kill him, he secretly vowed.
