Chapter 7 – 'Ready? Okay! By Cc
"OH HELL NO! I can't believe you have the audacity to say that you meat headed grease monkey!" Stacey shot back at him, proud of her fast comeback. She wouldn't have him put her down, just because she was a cheerleader didn't mean she was a ditz.
"Excuse me but engines are a very complicated thing. I don't see what you do, aside from clapping your hands and high kicking. Ready? Okay!" He replied, putting on his best squeaky voice for the last part. It made Stacey want to laugh at the butch man doing an impression of a cheerleader but what he had said struck a nerve and it made her defensive about the thing she loved.
"I'll have you know that cheerleaders have to have top grades to stay on the team. And it is so much more complicated than you think," she defended herself, for the millionth time. She'd said that line too many times for her liking. She was downright sick of ignorant people putting in their two cents about the 'typical' cheerleader. They had no idea how much practice went into it and how they had to maintain high standards in their class work too.
"Oh sure, you have to know how to spell," he added, glancing at her and seeing the anger rise to her face.
Dom sped around another corner, pretending to loose some control to get back at her. She saw this, her eyes automatically widened and her mouth let out a small yelp. He grinned inwardly and brushed it off like it was no big thing.
"I'm not even going to bother with your superficial ass, you're just like everybody else. Thinking you know best and that we're all stupid. Like we can't even tie our own shoes. Well, you can go fuck yourself for all I care," she finished, indignantly. She really didn't want to have to deal with Dominic as well as Brian and the way he was speaking to her made her so angry.
"All right, I'm sorry," Dom decided to ease off, she didn't need him to rile her up. "Look, I've been in your brothers position before. He just cares about you and what you pulled today was...well, it didn't make him feel any better about having to uproot you," Stacey tried to interrupt but Dom pressed on, "I understand that you made new friends and that's a good thing but what you did with Vince was one step too far. And I know that's most likely Vince's fault but you haven't heard half the story about what happened last time Brian was here." Dom shook his head and sighed. "Just ease up on him a little, this is hard for him too"
Stacey didn't know what to say. She shrugged and turned away. They sat in silence, Stacey staring out of the window and Dom keeping his eyes on the road. Since she was being so quiet, he thought he must've given her something to think about.
Hoping that she had calmed down now, he spun the steering wheel and did a U- turn, heading back to the house. Used to Dom's driving by now, this didn't phase her and he was surprised that she hadn't even batted an eyelid.
Vince had watched Stacey and Dom drive away. He was still sat in his car, feeling a mixture of satisfaction and guilt. He had enjoyed the look on Brian's face when he had seen them kiss but then again, he had kind of used Stacey to get back at him. He knew she was way too young for him and he just hoped he hadn't given her the wrong impression.
He got out of his car and headed inside. Leon greeted him with a strange smile on his face from on the couch. He was trying hard not to laugh at the current situation, he too had seen the look on Brian's face and even though he didn't have that big a problem with him, the petty fighting between him and Vince was too good to miss.
Brian came in from the kitchen and stopped in the doorway when he saw Vince, who was still stood beside the front door. He stepped down into the living room and started to stare Brian down. Brian wasn't going to let Vince win again so he stared back with a placid, emotionless expression. Leon was loving every minute of it and he put down the controller to the playstation to watch them.
"You seem to have a thing about guys sisters," said Brian, crossing his arms and cocking his head.
"And you seem to have a problem with loyalty," Vince replied, bitterness in his words.
"So what-"he was cut off by Dom coming in through the door, shortly followed by Stacey. Dom looked from Vince to Brian and quickly realized they were about to have it out. However, Vince and Brain were both looking at Stacey to see what she was going to do.
She could feel both their eyes burn into her. She shrugged and walked through them and sat beside Leon, picking up the controller and playing where he had left off. He suppressed the urge to laugh again, she'd just walked into a tension filled room and started to play playstation.
"Stacey, we need to talk," said Brian, breaking the silence that lay over them.
"Why? So you can have another chance to get mad at me? No thanks," she said, her eyes never straying from the television screen.
Vince, Dom and Leon all turned to look at Brian. Waiting to see if he would explode or remain his calm composure.
"Fine. I give up on you Stacey. You want to go back to Miami, then go. I'm not going to stop you," Brian said, sounding tired. He slowly walked into the kitchen and Stacey stared after him, in awe. Was he being serious? Did he really want her to leave?
A/N: Okay, there it is. My new chapter, I hope you're satisfied my eyes are watering from sneezing so much but I still carried on typing away. I hand it over to you now Bookworm. Hope this was a good place for you to take it up. I hope we're all having fun with this, I know I am. Let us know what y'all think, later Cc.
