Chapter 19 - He asked Me out!
"Did I fall asleep? She asked in that I'm so not awake yet voice.
"Naw, I beamed you out to the car." He grinned at her. "Yeah, you fell asleep, I'm driven' you home now." Leon answered as he put the car in gear.
"Oh, you shoulda just woke me up. There's no need for you to drive me 4 houses down the road Leon."
"I thought you might stay asleep and then I coulda just let one of your friends carry you to bed."
"You thought I could sleep through hearing a skyline start up?"
Leon chuckled. "I never thought of that." He pulled into her driveway. "Well, there you go anyway."
"Thanks." Kat looked at Leon. "I had a nice time. I love the guys but sometimes it's nice to spend time with other people."
"I know what you mean. Maybe if it's ok we could go to a movie or somethin' sometime. That way the evening doesn't haveta start with Dom and his attitude."
"Leon, did you just ask me out?" Kat asked incredulously. She'd never been asked out before, unless you counted Sean.
"Um, yeah, I guess I did." Leon rarely asked girls out; normally he just hooked up with one at a party after races. But he never figured if he did ask one out they'd act like this. He thought her reaction was along the lines of 'me date you, you gotta be kidden''. Then she answered.
"Sure, that'd be cool. Just let me know when and we'll catch a movie or somethin'." She answered, still sort of surprised he wanted to take her out on a date.
"Cool, I'll let you know." Leon answered and Kat climbed out of the car. Leon realized that she couldn't believe he'd asked her cause she hadn't thought he would like her like that. He drove home puzzled.
Kat wandered into her house with a goofy smile on her face.
"You have a good time kid?" Sean asked her.
"Yeah, I did. He asked me out on a date! Like a real date. To go see a movie or somethin'. Not just to hang out." Her head moved back a little and she had a confused look on her face.
"So, did you say yes or no?" Sean asked with a smile. He figured that Kat must think anyone asking her out was strange, and it really hadn't happened that often. But he also guessed she never knew the reason why she hadn't gotten asked out much in high school. It wasn't because no one wanted to date her, quite the opposite really. It was because a lot of the guys who had wanted to ask her out were assholes and the boys didn't approve of them, and then the ones they would have allowed to take her out were too scared of them to ask her anyway.
"Yes, I think. We didn't pick a time yet. He's gonna let me know." She still looked puzzled.
"Well, good. You should get out more. But why do ya look so messed up?"
"Cause a guy asked me out. I don't get it. Why does he wanna date me? Guys have wanted to race me, have me work on their cars, teach them to race, and as is every woman's constant problem, guys have wanted to hook up wit me, but no guy has ever wanted to date me before. Well, 'cept you." She had little frown lines between her eyebrows, from her puzzled concentration on Sean. She hoped he'd be able to shed some light on this issue for her.
"Kitten, guys have wanted to date you before. Most of 'em were idiots and we stopped 'em before they asked you because that was back in the day before you had the smarts for dealin' with 'em you have now. Then the ones that woulda asked that weren't idiots were scared of us just because of who we were. I guess it wasn't fair of us to keep you, goin' to ghetto schools and getting a rep based on ours wasn't fair to you." She impulsively hugged him.
"You just did what any older brothers woulda done for their lil'sis with the idiots, and that same rep kept me safe in the hood at night. Besides, I had a great life in high school. I had lots of girls, we went out" Sean gave her a look, he hadn't known she had a fake id till grade 12 but she'd been going to clubs since grade 10, "to movies." She continued with a look up at his face from under her lashes, hoping he bought it. She could tell by the look on his face she wasn't that lucky. "I guess in a way I had group dates, just never a specific guy asking me out. I wouldn't change a thing about how my life has been since I moved here. Before that maybe but after that has been perfect. Plus I have a kinda date for Saturday to go to VooDoo with that guy Rome."
"That guy you introduced us to at your work?"
"That's him. I guess a lot of us are goin' but he asked me to show him where to go to dance and since I know the boy can move I thought that Voodoo was the best bet. I told him you guys'd wanna go and I know Brian and Mia wanna go. Proley Letty and Dom too so that Dom can continue to give me a hard time." She lost her train of thought as she moved on to the one that suddenly entered her head. "You know that asshole Dom accused me of moving here just because it was close to him? What an ego. Like I would move anywhere on account of him! And you can bet I told him that too."
"Why would he care where you live?" Sean liked this guy Dom less and less everything he heard about him. "Is he gonna try shit wit you?"
"I don't think so. He doesn't like me. I never really figured out why. Other then he's likely scared that I can beat him at racing, plus they did something really illegal a while ago and Brian got them out of it. But I think that Dom's scared that being around us will make people start asking questions."
Sean seemed to accept that. She headed up to bed. She sat in her room thinking. Leon liked her. That was interesting. She figured he just saw her as one of the guys, like so many other people had. Like she was cool and good with cars so she was cool to hang out with. But to find out that maybe he liked her as a girl was making her giddy. She was very excited by this possibility. She knew she'd never fall asleep right away after figuring that out. She started to think about painting her room. She really wanted to paint it but she didn't know what color. She finally got herself calmed down enough that she figured she could sleep. She changed into her typical night attire of a camisole and boxers and crawled into bed.
Saturday came and Rome came to the store to see Kat, to find out if she still wanted to head out to dance that night.
"Hell Yeah I wanna go dance. I haven't been out in so long. I'll show you where to head out to."
"Good." Rome smiled. "I guess we'll head down around 11:00?"
"That sounds perfect. The guys are looken' forward to it. What about your friends Bri, any of them comin'?"
"Oh no doubt. I think Dom wants to try to figure you out so I bet he'll wanna go. And if he's goin' then Letty's goin. And if I go, Mia'll wanna. I know Leon'll wanna go cause you are." Kat gave Brian a dirty look.
"Well, like I said the more the merrier when you go dance. What ever people from your crowd wanna come, have 'em at my house at 10:15, Kay?"
"Sure. We'll be there." Brian answered.
"Wouldn't miss it." Rome added.
"Ok, but be ready to move. Voodoo is no square dance. I hope your boys can keep up." Kat teased Rome. "I know you got moves but I'm not sure 'bout Brian and the rest of the whitebread squad." She winked at Rome.
"Hey, I can dance." Brian interjected. "I can't speak for the rest of my team. Just cause I can't move all over a girl like we're.well.you know.on the dance floor doesn't mean I can't dance."
"You're right Bri, it just means you can't dance at Voodoo, but you'll do your best. I'll try to give you some pointers." She stuck her tongue out at Brian.
"I'll be fine."
"What are you doing talking about going out to a club anyway Kat? Aren't you 19? Did you become 21 overnight?" Harry broke in.
"No, but I been goin' to this club weekends since I moved here.I'm not stoppin' now. I'm closer to 21 now then I was then."
"Well, just be careful." Harry told Kat.
"Always." She smiled. "Well, I'm outa here. I gotta go get ready."
"But we're not leaving for the club for another 4 hours." Brian said. And he thought Mia took a long time to get ready.
"I should have enough time. See you later." With that she ran out of the store and tore off home in her car.
"The way that girl drives, we're gonna be scraping her off Dom's car the first time she races him." Harry speculated with a sigh.
"Why do you say that, Harry?" Brian asked, frowning.
"Cause her motto seems to be win at whatever or die trying. She does everything to extremes."
Brian nodded, that was Kat. It might just crush her not to beat Dom. And Brian didn't think she could beat Dom. "Yeah, but it sure makes it interesting to be around her." Brian added.
"True 'dat." Rome added.
"But if Dom and Kat crash together it'll be the other way around. That skyline of hers is like a fricken tank. She'll crush Dom's RX-7 like a tin can if they crash. Dom's car doesn't even have a roll cage. Her skyline outweighs his car by a good few hundred pounds, has a much longer hood, and is designed to be a race car. Dom's car is light, small, and designed to be a sports car." Brian looked worried.
"I never even thought of that. We'll just have to hope they never bump heads on the streets then." Harry said.
"Fat chance. She can't wait for her shot at him. She's so convinced she can kick his ass." Brian looked even more concerned.
"Well, we'll just have to school 'em first on what would happen if they screwed up won't we?" Harry said. Brain turned to his friend with an after though.
"You don't have ideas about Kat do you Rome? Cause I think Leon likes her and she likes Leon. Don't forget that." Brian stated.
"Well, if she likes Leon then he has nothin' to worry about right?" Rome asked with a cocky smile.
"Right, but I'm just sayin'."
"I get you Bri. When you off?" Rome changed the subject.
Brian looked at Harry. "Go home Brian. Take that pretty little Italian girl you love out to dinner before you take her dancing." Being Italian Harry was kind of partial to them.
"Thanks Harry, you're the best." Brian exclaimed and he and Rome headed home. Brian did take Mia out to dinner then they all started to get ready to head out.
Kat went home and called her friend Nikki.
"Hey Nikki, what's up?" Kat asked after her friend said hello.
"Kat! How you been? I haven't heard from you in months."
"I know. I know. I had a wreck then we moved an shit. It's been a hell of a 6 months. So what you doin' tonight?"
"Nothin' girl, nothin's goin' on."
"Yeah? Wanna hit Voodoo with me'n the guys and some new people I met at my new job?"
"Hell yeah. When have I ever said no to Voodoo?"
"Never. So, come do my braids before we head out?"
"Kaaaaaaaatttttttt. You know how you hate havin' your braids done. You always complain 'bout how it hurts an shit."
"I know Nikki but I can't go to Voodoo without my cornrows and I can't do 'em like you can."
"Shit girl, where did ya move to?" Nikki gave in with a sigh.
"I'll come get you. See you in 20, Kay?"
"Sure. See ya." They hung up and Kat ran out to her car and went to get her friend.
"OW." Kat exclaimed about an hour later as Nikki parted her hair at the roots to put the braids in across Kat's head. She was leaving the hair loose in the back but using the braids to do it flat across the top of Kat's head. She did them in kind of an angled pattern, not just straight from back to front.
"Damn girl, why do you wanna go through this every time? You always end up grumpy and mad at me over it."
"I'm never mad at you Nik, just in pain."
"So why not just wear it down then?"
"You've seen how it is."
"I got ya." Nikki had seen how Kat's hair ended up if it wasn't done up somehow and Kat went dancing. It wasn't pretty. But they were finally done and Kat was happy with the look. It emphasized her feline eyes and petite face. It made her think of the first time she'd ever gone to Voodoo.
*Flashback*
Kat finally had a boyfriend! She didn't know if going out with Sean was a good idea or not but he'd asked her and since she already loved him she figured it was the next step. They were going out to a club tonight, this new club that Sean'd heard about. She called her best friend Nikki to come help her get ready.
Kat had always hated her hair, it was so long and it was wild, it wouldn't ever do anything she wanted it to. Nikki had this bright idea to do it in cornrows to keep it off her face and Nikki was good at doing hair. Nikki did the braids and it hurt like hell.
Kat complained the whole time but the end result was awesome and Kat had never gone out without having Nikki do her hair like this again. She'd had a good time with Sean, but even at 16 she knew there was some sort of spark missing from their relationship.
But even after they decided that they didn't make a good couple they still hit Voodoo together most weekends. Sometimes it was just Kat and Nikki, sometimes some of the guys came but always Nikki did Kat's hair and Kat complained. It was just the way it was. It wasn't the weekend without having Nikki do her hair, talkin' girl talk and goin' to Voodoo. It was like tradition.
*End Flashback*
She snapped back to the present. Now she just had to pick out clothes to wear. She picked out black leather knee boots, a short black mini that rode low on her hips and only went a few inches below her butt, a black thong with rhinestones on the hip straps and a rhinestone heart on the triangle on the back that showed some when her hip movements from dancing lowered her skirt even further on her hips. She picked out a tiger print top. It was cut to about 3 inches above her bellybutton but had a high neckline. Till she turned around and you saw the only thing holding it on was a string at the neck and a string across the back. She knew she wasn't wearing much but Voodoo was that kinda club. Nikki wasn't wearing any more then Kat. The girls ran downstairs.
Stacy gave Nikki a long look. There was history there but Kat hoped that they didn't go on about it tonight. They'd dated a long time ago. Just as the girls arrived downstairs the door bell rang. Kale opened the door and there was Rome.
"Rome. How's it goin?" Kat asked him as he and the rest of Brian's team filed in.
"Good girl. Damn you look hot."
"Thanks." She clearly didn't believe Rome. She dressed like she did because everyone else did, not because she knew she was sexy or to show off. Kat looked over the rest of the Torretto team. Dom looked uncomfortable. Letty was studying Kat's outfit, not that Letty was wearing much more. Brian and Mia were much more conservatively dressed. Mia couldn't believe how Kat and her friend Nikki were dressed. Leon was no where to be seen. Kat tried not to let on how disappointed she was. Brian must've sensed it because he whispered to her,
"He'll be around later. He said he doesn't like to go to clubs but I told him where it was. He'll show up."
"I don't know what you're talking about." She whispered back.
Brian just grinned at her. "Are we all ready then?" Everyone nodded so they called two cabs, crammed in and headed down to the club. They walked in and all the staff started greeting Kat and hugging her. It made Dom even more uncomfortable to realize this was her turf. These big men were all on Kat's side. No one but Letty and Brian had his back in here. He was gonna have to watch his step. He caught the look that Sean was giving him. Yep, he'd have to watch his every step here. They all went and sat down, but for Kat who went to get a drink right away.
She stood at the bar for a full minute in the crowd before she got impatient.
AN: as always people read and review. :)
"Did I fall asleep? She asked in that I'm so not awake yet voice.
"Naw, I beamed you out to the car." He grinned at her. "Yeah, you fell asleep, I'm driven' you home now." Leon answered as he put the car in gear.

No one but Letty and Brian had his back in here. He was gonna have to watch his step. He caught the look that Sean was giving him. Yep, he'd have to watch his every step here. They all went and sat down, but for Kat who went to get a drink right away.
She stood at the bar for a full minute in the crowd before she got impatient.
AN: as always people read and review. :)
