Chapter 20 - The Danger of Dancing
AN: Thanks to all who reviewed, a few more would be nice. :) Which is a nice way of saying why didn't chapter 19 get any reviews? Please review. It takes a second and the story will be killed off on this site if I figure no one's reading it. So if you really want to know how it's going to go then leave a review. On to the story.
"Yo." No response from the bartender. "Hey." Still nothing. "Bro. Who do I haveta do to get a drink?" Other guys around the bar looked at her but still no answer, the bartender didn't even look up. She yelled. "Hey Monte. Nigga, get me a drink." The huge bartender looked up with an evil look for whoever dared to talk to him like that. Dom figured Kat was in for it. He hardly remembered not to smile in pleasure.
The huge man walked over to Kat, smiled down at her and promptly hauled her over the bar on to the other side. "Work for it first Kitten." She grinned back at him and started taking orders. She was twirling the bottles; she definitely knew what she was doing behind the bar. Most guys that bought a drink for themselves bought her one too. That was how she still came out and got drunk when they had no money. If she worked for Monte behind the bar for awhile enough guys bought her drinks to get her loaded. Dom couldn't believe it. Not only was she in the club, for free, she called the bartender names and he put her behind the counter and got her to wait on customers. And she wasn't even going to be old enough to be here for two more years. She was waiting on people as Leon arrived, laughing and chatting to people as she waited on them.
She was the most beautiful girl in the whole place, and if he was right, and he thought he was, she didn't even have a clue. She no doubt thought she was 'not ugly'. Leon figured she saw herself as a tomboy and figured everyone else did too. But Leon could see the looks that these guys were giving her as she made their drinks and drank the ones they bought for her. There was lust on the face of more then a few of them. Plus she was so honest and open. She wasn't acting, she was just having a good time.
He hadn't been planning on coming. This was not his scene. But the urge to see Kat was stronger then his aversion to clubs. He spotted the rest of his team and hers right away. He walked up to them and sat down in the only open seat between Brian and Sean.
"She's working at the bar for her friend Monte for a few." Sean told him. Leon looked up in shock. He guessed that Sean must approve of him, the other man almost seemed to be encouraging his attention on Kat. Leon nodded and stood up. He walked up to the bar. He watched the guys buy Kat drinks. He turned his back to the bar to think for a second. He heard a female voice call out.
"Hey, jersey boy, this is a no parking zone, you need to buy a drink or move on. See the sign?" They must be talking to him, the voice was right behind him and he was wearing a jersey. Leon turned around to see Kat pointing at a sign that said 'Skyline parking only.' She smiled when she saw who it was.
"Leon! I guess you're allowed to park here. I bought the sign figuring it would let me stand here and no one else."
"Well, I guess you never planned on me." He stated with a grin.
"True dat." He'd never know the half of it. "Wanna drink?"
"You got Corona?" He asked her. She reached into a fridge and handed him the drink. "how much?" He asked.
"On the house. I work for free so I can do that every once in awhile. So I thought you weren't comin'?"
"I got bored at home alone. How long you stayin' back there?" Monte came over and whispered to Kat. He told her the next song was the one she was waiting for.
"Till now. Thanks Monte." The bartender lifted Kat on top of the bar. "Help me down Le? I'm pretty trashed." Leon held a hand out to her, saw that would not be enough help and grasped her around the waist then lowered her to the ground.
"It's only 11:30, how are you wasted already?"
"Cause I've been pounding shots since we got here."
"Kitten, that's not a great idea."
"I'll pay for it tomorrow. Let's dance. I happen to know the next song is gonna be a good one."
"I don't know. I'm not a big dancer."
"Oh, it's easy, just follow me, this is a sorta slow song anyway." She dragged him out to the dance floor just as the song ended. "Just hold my hips and follow my lead, it'll be fine." She told him as the pulsing sounds of Voodoo by Ashanti filled the club. It wasn't an all out bootie shake song so she figured even if Leon wasn't much of a dancer he should be able to follow along with her.
He had his hands on her still but they'd moved down toward her butt a little more. Kat had wrapped her right arm around Leon's neck and had her other one over her head as she undulated against Leon. He moved his hands up higher to rub her bare back. He was shocked at how little she was wearing, even though she had more on then most of the racer chasers he saw. Their eyes locked and he felt a spark so intense it shocked him to the core.
Dom and Letty were dancing too, and while they were good dancers, Dom more so then Letty, Dom knew they were nothing compared to how Kat was dancing with Leon. And since they all knew Leon wasn't much of a dancer, that meant it was Kat who could dance. They also looked very intense. Dom knew his secret hope that Leon would forget about the girl and move on was not a likely possibility.
"Do you feel it Kitten?" Where had that come from? But he did want to know if he was alone in this feeling, and she just wanted to dance, or if she felt it too.
"Feel what? Do you mean the.the.flutter.burning in the bottom of my tummy when we're together like this? Oh yeah I feel it. Do you?" She touched the offending part of her tummy right above the waist of her skirt.
Leon couldn't believe how honest she was, and how innocent it came out. It shoulda been a very adult, experienced thing to say, but Kat said it with so much innocence, but with a total lack of artifice he knew she was telling him the truth. "Oh I feel it too girl." And it scared the hell out of him. And he wanted to kiss her. Not the kind of thanks for the dance kiss that could easily be explained but the long deep kind of kiss that burned like fire and made you want the other person with a passion that burned till it either consumed you both or drove you crazy.
She parted her lips and looked at him like she wanted that too. But Leon wasn't going to do it on the dance floor in front of his whole team and all her friends. The song ended.
"I need some air Kitten, wanna come outside with me for a minute?"
"Sure, it's hot in here. One sec while I just tell Sean." She whispered to Sean they were just going for a quick walk around the building. Sean nodded then went to dance with a girl he saw. Stacy and Kale and Rome were all dancing. She looked at the remainder of Team Torreto. "Go dance people, have fun. No one bites and the guys'll look out for ya'll. We won't be long." Leon wrapped his arm around her waist and led her outside.
"I wanted to do this to you for so long." As soon as they were out of sight Leon had Kat backed up to the building and he was kissing her like he hadn't kissed a woman in years. Kat was responding to him totally, kissing him back. She had her arms around his neck tight and her body was pressed tightly against his. Leon couldn't remember the last girl he'd ever felt like this about, like he had to have her or die.
Kat didn't understand what she was feeling. She'd never felt like this before. Never been kissed like this before either. Leon broke off the kiss and started to nibble down her neck. She moaned out "Leeeeee" and didn't finish his name. It was the sexiest thing a woman ever said to him. He licked his way up to her ear and gently bit her earlobe. She was panting in his ear. She'd been a willing participant if a passive one up to that point but when he released her ear she pulled him back to her and kissed him hard as he'd kissed her. Leon realized that if they didn't stop he was going to take her against the back of the club. This wouldn't have been a problem for him with any other girl, but for some reason with Kat, much as he wanted her he didn't want to have their first time, if they were going to have one, be against a building in an alley while Kat was pretty well baked.
"We should go back." He told her after he broke the kiss off for the second time.
"I don't wanna." She told him and rubbed against him like her namesake feline.
"Kat." He groaned out. "If we don't go back, do you know what's gonna happen right here against this building?"
"No," She said with a very suggestive smile. "Why don't you show me?" That made him laugh. She really didn't know, she had ideas, and she was more then ready to have them confirmed.
"Come on back in Kat. We'll take a rain check for now. Let's go have another dance." She followed him back into the club pouting but she forgot about that as they danced once again to another song. Then Leon needed to take a break and Kat danced to a few songs with her guys and Rome. She danced with them totally different then she danced with him. It was faster and involved more of what Kat called booty shake. He wondered where she got the stamina to dance nonstop like she did. She had this sweaty sheen to her that was an incredible turn on. Leon didn't like the way Brian's boy was looking at Kat either. Kat left the floor as he thought that.
Leon watched Kat go get two more drinks, a Rev for herself and a Corona he assumed was for him. She'd thought of him. Leon was very happy over that one little gesture. If it was for him.
Kat walked up to the table and ignored the empty chair on the other side of the table from Leon, over beside Dom. Since there were no chairs she sat down in his lap and gave him the beer.
"Hey baby girl. You have'n a good time?" He asked her.
She whispered something in his ear that made him blush. Dom frowned. He figured he had a fair idea what went on when they disappeared together. And he wasn't happy about it. Leon whispered something back to her and her answer was "Promise?" to which Leon nodded and smiled. She sat there for awhile playing with Leon's hair which was driving him insane.
They all partied and had a good time. Kat hadn't seen Stacy, Kale, Nikki or surprise of surprises Sean for some time. She figured they'd gotten invited out after and they'd gone off. They'd had that plan from the get go but it was strange for Sean to disappear. She figured she'd catch a cab home. The club was closing down. One of the bouncers came up to them and asked Kat if she was ok, since he didn't recognize the people she was with and asked her if she needed a ride.
She told him she was fine, and she introduced the Torreto team. She was about to tell Brody she would love a drive when Leon told her he'd take her home. He'd only had two beer, well spaced out so he was fine. Kat knew he'd be ok to drive and leaving with him sounded good. She told Brody she was fine for a ride. She was still sitting in Leon's lap. If he'd had more to drink Leon knew he'd be all over her right now. He was glad he was sober in one way and wished he'd had more to drink another. But then he wouldn't leave his car here overnight so someone had to drive it home and he'd known all along that it wasn't likely that anyone else on his team would stay sober, but maybe Mia. And he wouldn't let Mia drive his car.
"You ready then baby girl?" Leon asked Kat.
"Sure, if you are." She answered.
"I'll take you all home if you wanna try to cram in the back. If Letty sits on your lap Dom and Mia sits on yours Brian then Kat and Vince share the front seat we'll all fit."
The team all nodded and headed out to Leon's car. It took some doing because of the roll cage but they all got in. It was a tight fit. They drove to Dom's house and they all piled out of the car. Dom looked at Leon, but he was still looking at Kat.
"You wanna go for a drive Kitten?" Leon asked Kat.
"Sure. That sounds good." She slid back into his car and rolled down the window. "See you later Dawg." Leon said to the team in general and slid back into his car. He fired it up and squealed off down the street. "Where do ya wanna go?"
Kat had an idea that was playing with but she wasn't going to give him the exact details yet. "I wanna go downtown and race the little ricers, school 'em some. Show me how you drive." Sounded good to Leon. He sped off for downtown LA. It wasn't hard to find a person who wanted to go. They stopped at a red light just as it turned and in no time a riced out civic pulled up beside them. The Civic revved it's engine and a tinny little whine emanated from it's pathetic 4 cylinder engine. Leon revved his engine and a small flame streaked out of his exhaust and his car growled with power barely under control. "He has no idea what's about happen to 'im." Kat laughed and Leon smiled his agreement. While they waited for the light to come green Kat asked Leon.
"So is it the speed that draws you to street racing or the danger of it or maybe even the chance of getting caught? Maybe all of the above?"
"All of it I think, why?"
"Wanna make this race even more interesting then?"
Leon had no idea what she meant but was intrigued by the idea. "Sure."
She undid her harness and slid into his lap, facing him, making sure that he could still see and reach the shifter and wheel and peddles. She nibbled on his neck the way he'd done to her. "This'll increase the danger, now kick that punk's ass." The punk was busy watching this go down through the still open window.
Leon was surprised but totally intrigued to know what she was gonna do to him. The light turned green and he took off like a shot. The other car didn't even keep up with him for a second. He got in front of the civic in like 2 seconds and the screaming noise of the skyline's tires on the asphalt and the straight pipe exhaust almost drowned out his labored breathing while Kat did very naughty things to his neck and ears. It didn't help he could feel her body pressed against his between him and the wheel. He had to be going 130, he couldn't see the speedo. He was in a 50 zone. The kid in the civic was long gone. He saw the flashing red and blue lights that every racer hated to see in his rear view, some distance off.
"Shit girl, we got cops." Leon said as he sped up and changed lanes. He had to find a place to hide the car and cut the engine while they couldn't see him. He thought he knew of a place just ahead.
"Oh, how exciting." Kat sighed and snuggled closer.
"Hold on to me girl, this is gonna be one hell of a turn."
"I'ma never let go." She sighed and he wasn't sure he even heard her.
He cut the wheel, sailed through the ditch and into the woods on a service road that hadn't been used in some time, he turned a corner and cut everything quickly. If he'd done it fast enough the cops would have no idea where he was, they'd go chasing him down the highway for some time before they realized they lost him. There was no moon out that night which was also on his side. But he was in the total darkness with a very warm, very willing female pressed against him. A female he was so attracted to it scared him.
"You ok Kat?" He asked her.
"Yep. We loose 'em?"
"Yep."
"So how long we gonna sit here?"
"Oh 20 minutes or so."
"OK." She answered and kissed him. Leon was glad he wasn't imagining this spark between them and that was his last conscious though before he didn't think of anything but the girl he was with. They made out for the whole 20 minutes but Leon broke it off. He didn't know what was causing the moral attack but with Kat their first time was not gonna be in a car either. She deserved better then some quickie. She wasn't a skank and he didn't want to treat her like one.
"Ok girl. Let's get you home." She went to slide over into her own seat. "No, stay there." He rolled up the windows. "Now no one can see in anyway and I like how you feel there." He wasn't ready to lose the closeness of having her there against him. He sped off into the night.
"OK. I told you I wasn't ever lettin' go." She murmured into his neck and then wrapped her arms around his neck. He drove home with her snuggled up to him like that.
"Kitten, you're home. Baby? You're home." Leon was talking softly to her. There were no lights on so he figured they were the first ones home or all her friends were in bed. They were only gone about 45 minutes all together though so it seemed to make more sense that no one was home.
"Umm." Was all he got out of her and he realized she was asleep and totally out of it. Probably sobering up and coming down off her adrenalin. He sighed and looked in her little purse. She only had one key in there. He got it out and opened his door. He was gonna carry her in and just leave her on the couch. As he stood up out of the car and kicked the door closed she instinctively wrapped her arms tight around his neck and her legs around his waist. It at least made her easy to carry, even if it did make him wanna take her to bed, now. He brought her into her house.
"Where are we?" She asked and Leon figured she might be asking in her sleep. She sounded like it.
"Your house. I brought you home Kat."
"I'm asleep." She said. It brought a smile to his face.
"I know. Where's your room, and I'll put you to bed."
"Upstairs, first door on the left." She mumbled, still talking to him in her sleep. Leon headed up the stairs and into her room. It was definitely her room. It smelled like her.
He lay her on the bed. She didn't let go of his neck or waist. "Kay baby girl, here you are. Sleep tight." Since he was still bent over her he kissed her forehead, then tried to stand up to leave her to sleep.
"No Le, you can't leave me, you gotta stay here." She was gonna regret this tomorrow, even in her drunk state she knew she was going to be embarrassed about some of the stuff she'd said.
"Kiiitttteeennn." He drawled out. He didn't trust himself to just stay and sleep in this bed with her.
"PPLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE? The guys aren't home and I can't remember the last time I had to sleep in an empty house. I'll be scared." No way he could resist that plea.
"OK." At his agreement she let him go. He stood up and stripped to his boxers. He wasn't sleeping in his jeans that was for sure, when his nice comfy room with his own bed where he could sleep in the raw like he always did was right across the street. "Aren't you gonna change into your night cloths Kat?"
"Nope, too tired." She mumbled and rolled over on her side. He unzipped her skirt and took her shoes off. Then he slid the skirt down and off her legs. He was not quite prepared for the briefness of her underwear. He figured she was fine with the rest of her cloths on, her top was just a front and two little strings after all. He didn't figure she could have anything on under it and he wasn't finding out.
Kat was so baked, she only wanted to sleep. She curled up on her side and pulled a pillow under her head. Then she felt Leon's weight dip the other side of the bed. She instinctively fit herself against his side with her head on his shoulder. Leon sighed and pulled the covers up over them. At least he'd had the foresight to lock her door and she had her own bathroom. But he was dead sober and more turned on then he could remember in the recent and not so recent past. He sighed again, kissed her forehead and went to sleep. Even the state he was in couldn't disguise the fact that Kat felt right curled up against him. He never slept with girls, he just slept with them, then they went home or he did, depending on the situation. Waking up in the same bed as Kat was gonna be a first for him.
Dom watched from his window as Leon carried Kat into her house. He didn't miss the fact that she'd already been on Leon's side of the car. Of course the girl had been wasted and she might have passed out in the car. But that still didn't explain how she would've ended up in Leon's lap in the car. Dom had to hand one thing to Kat. If he'd drank what she did, he wouldn't have been able to function at all. He'd have been so fucked up. Kat had been very noticeably drunk, but she'd been far from on her ass. Dom watched her house for 20 minutes but Leon never came out of her house. Then Letty got out of the shower and he had to stop watching. Damn that Leon. Dom told him he couldn't just sleep with Kat and Leon had told him he had no interest in her that way. So much for that idea.
Kat woke up at 4 am sick as a dog. She jumped out of bed and ran for the bathroom. She was violently ill. She'd forgotten to eat supper before she went out so all that liquor had hit her system like a ton of bricks. Now she was more then paying for it. She was sick again and then she realized she had been in a cold sweat in bed and her top was soaked. She was really still far from sober, she'd only been asleep for an hour and a half. She took her top off. Then she got sick again but there was nothing left in her tummy at all. She was so cold and weak. She couldn't get back up from her kneeling position on the floor at all, she tried and fell down. She decided, in her state, that it made more sense to just sleep on the bathroom floor since she was just gonna be sick again anyway. Using that logic she curled in on herself on the bathroom floor and passed out more then fell asleep. The tile floor was so cold and she was already cold and clammy.
Leon heard a crash and it woke him up. It took him a second to remember where he was. Once he remembered what had happened he sat up and realized Kat was not in bed anymore. He quickly headed to the bathroom. Kat was lying on the floor of her bathroom asleep and shaking. Leon kneeled behind her and shook her shoulder gently. "Kitten? You ok?" She only moaned softly in answer. Leon realized how cold her skin felt and how much she was shaking. "Kitten, you need to answer me. Are you ok?"
"YYYeeessss." She stammered out through her chattering teeth.
"You little Liar." Leon answered her back. "Where did your shirt go?"
"It was soaked." She was still forcing the words out while shaking and shivering.
"Did you get sick?"
"Yeah." She said in a small voice.
"Come on, you need to be back in bed." With that he scooped her up and carried her back to her room. She was so light, and she didn't even bother to wrap her arms around his neck, she just kinda flopped in his arms. He lay her on the bed then looked till he found her underwear drawer and took what he assumed was a night shirt out of it. He pulled it over her head and crawled back into bed with her. He'd seen some pretty drunk people but he was really worried about Kat. She wasn't asleep but she wasn't awake either, she was kinda in some sort of stupor he figured. She was still shaking and shivering. "You ever been this sick before?"
"Nooooo." She moaned.
"I think we should take you to the hospital." Leon was getting more and more worried.
"Noooo."
*Flashback*
They were sticking her with needles again. Would they ever stop poking and prodding her. She just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. She was both in a great deal of pain and embarrassed.
She had two IV's already and she'd had stitches too. That had hurt like hell. She couldn't believe that she'd done something so stupid. She'd been in the hospital for weeks and the staff watched her like a hawk, even if they did take good care of her. She hated the hospital ever since.
*End Flashback*
"No hospital."
"Kat, you're really sick. How much did you drink?"
"Too much. I don't remember. I hadn't been out in so long, I was having a great time and I just sorta kept drinking."
"When did you eat last?"
"Lunch, I ate lunch." She was breathing kinda funny.
"Oh Kat." Leon couldn't believe this. She hadn't even eaten dinner. He'd watched her pound down at least 4 straight tequila plus whatever she'd had before he got there, two more tequila after she'd stopped bartending, plus rev. She'd had too much in other words and on an empty stomach too. But he couldn't make her go to the hospital. Well he could but she wouldn't be happy about it. He had an idea, he'd call Brian. Cops had to have lots of first aid training right?
He dialed his own number.
"Leon, who you callin'?" Kat asked him. She was only about a quarter conscious.
"No one, try to stay awake though, Kay?"
"Kay." She murmured as she started to drift off. Leon sighed in frustration and smiled at her need to please him even in this state. She said she'd do what he asked the promptly did the opposite. She was so much like a cat it wasn't funny.
Dom answered on the 4th ring. "Who the hell is this and what the hell do you want? Do you know it's 4:30am?" Dom rasped.
"Dawg, it's Leon. I need to talk to Brian. Like now." Dom came fully awake.
"What's wrong Leon? What happened?"
"It's Kat, she's really sick and I figure Brian knows enough about first aid to know if I should make her go to the hospital." Dom sighed.
"I'll go get 'im." Dom walked up to the door of Mia's room. Much as he wanted to put a stop to it he knew that his baby sister and one of his best friends were sharing a bed in said sister's childhood room. He banged on the door. "Brian."
Brian opened the door a crack scratching his chest. "What's up Bro? It's after 4."
"I know, Leon needs your help on the phone. Here." With that Dom handed Brian the phone and headed back to his bed.
"Leon, what's wrong?"
"Um, well, Kat's really sick. She drank a lot Dawg, and she tells me now she hadn't had anythin' to eat since lunch. I counted like 6 tequila she had plus other stuff. She's kinda actin' funny."
"Funny how?" Brian asked. He was concerned. That was a lot of liquor for anyone on an empty stomach let alone someone as small as Kat.
"Well, she's kinda cold even though it's not cold in here. She was sick. She couldn't get back to her room from her own bathroom. She's shakin' and not really awake."
"Is her skin pale or blue?"
"Not really, just, what's that word man.Clammy."
"Ok, is she breathing funny? Like slow and shallow, or does she take times where she doesn't breath for like 8 or more seconds?" Leon watched her for a second.
"Well, yeah, she's kinda breathing slower then she would normally I think. I wanted to take her to a hospital but she wasn't hearin' it."
"Did you ask her if she's ever reacted to drinking like this before?"
"Yeah, and she said that she never did."
"Well, I'd say you should take her to a hospital. But if she won't go then just keep her warm, make her drink water, lukewarm. If her breathing gets any worse, or you notice that she's blueish take her to the hospital right away. She should go now but she's so damn stubborn.Oh and wake her every hour if you can and if she ever doesn't wake up then get her to a hospital then too."
"Thanks man."
"No problem Dude, just try to make sure she's ok."
"I will." Leon hung up and then looked at Kat. She was asleep. Or he hoped she was asleep not unconscious. "Kat, can you hear me?" He asked and shook her. Her eyes opened and she groaned.
"Yeah, I hear you. I wanna sleep. Why are you being so mean? Keeping me awake." She mumbled out.
"Ok then baby girl, go to sleep." He was glad she woke up. She fell back to sleep almost immediately. Leon pulled her closer, pulled the blankets back up over them both and went back to sleep himself, even though he tried to stay awake to wake her up again.
He woke up around 7am and was again disorientated. He remembered everything and promptly checked Kat over. She was a better color and her breathing was deep and even now. He went and got her a glass of warmish water. He woke her up and she grumbled at him.
"Drink this. It's water but it's kinda warm. Cold water's of limits for now." She tried to refuse the water but Leon made her drink it. She drank the whole water then fell back asleep against Leon. Leon also fell back asleep because he'd had one hell of a night.
He woke up again and checked the clock. It was 2pm on Sunday afternoon. He realized that her guys were likely home and he knew panic. What if they thought he'd taken advantage of Kat while she was that out of it? Well, if they were home they'd seen his car long ago and there was nothing he could do about it now. Kat looked even better now then she had at 7 at least. He shook her awake.
"Mornin' sunshine. Or should I say afternoon." He smiled at her. She was cute with her hair everywhere and that unfocused look in her eyes.
"Ow my head." She answered, and blinked a few times, trying to focus.
"You remember last night?" He asked her. Then he realized she might think he meant remember what they'd done.
"Yeah, but it has this hazy quality to it." She held her head and moaned. Leon had had some hellish hangovers and he knew what she was going through. He went and got her some aspirin and more water. He made her take them and drink down all the water. "I'm so hungry. I'm never hungry after I drink."
"Well, you told me last night you hadn't eaten since lunch time yesterday."
"Oh yeah." She looked sheepish. "Thanks for staying Leon. And for taken' care a'me. I know it musta been a pain." She was embarrassed.
"Naw, it wasn't a pain. I had fun, till you got sick. I never knew a chick as crazy as you." He smiled at her. "Get dressed and I'll take you to someplace that has all day breakfast." Her tummy growled. They both laughed.
"Well, two things. I don't care what you saw last night, I'm not getting dressed in front of you. And two you need some clothes too. Not that I mind but the people outside might not be so easy goin'." Leon looked down at himself.
"Yeah I guess I do. Why don't you get dressed in your bathroom?"
"Now see, it's that kinda smarts I'm gonna keep you around for." She smiled and slowly walked to her closet. She pulled out a pair of yellow track pants then went to her dresser and took out a soft yellow tanktop and some clean underwear. She then walked very carefully into the bathroom and got ready. Leon got dressed in his same clothes while she was gone. She came out of the bathroom and walked up to him. "I'm ready."
"You match my car." Leon chuckled.
"I hope I look better then your car." She waited to see how he would handle that. His car was his baby after all but he'd called her baby girl all night.
"Of course, you look better then my car in a different way." He said.
"Very diplomatic Leon." She grinned. Leon knew he'd passed her little test.
"Thanks. Am I likely to need to call Vince for an armed guard to get out of the house?"
"Naw. Should be cool. Let's go."
AN: Thanks to all who reviewed, a few more would be nice. :) Which is a nice way of saying why didn't chapter 19 get any reviews? Please review. It takes a second and the story will be killed off on this site if I figure no one's reading it. So if you really want to know how it's going to go then leave a review. On to the story.
"Yo." No response from the bartender. "Hey." Still nothing. "Bro. Who do I haveta do to get a drink?" Other guys around the bar looked at her but still no answer, the bartender didn't even look up. She yelled. "Hey Monte. Nigga, get me a drink." The huge bartender looked up with an evil look for whoever dared to talk to him like that. Dom figured Kat was in for it. He hardly remembered not to smile in pleasure.
The huge man walked over to Kat, smiled down at her and promptly hauled her over the bar on to the other side. "Work for it first Kitten." She grinned back at him and started taking orders. She was twirling the bottles; she definitely knew what she was doing behind the bar. Most guys that bought a drink for themselves bought her one too. That was how she still came out and got drunk when they had no money. If she worked for Monte behind the bar for awhile enough guys bought her drinks to get her loaded. Dom couldn't believe it. Not only was she in the club, for free, she called the bartender names and he put her behind the counter and got her to wait on customers. And she wasn't even going to be old enough to be here for two more years. She was waiting on people as Leon arrived, laughing and chatting to people as she waited on them.
She was the most beautiful girl in the whole place, and if he was right, and he thought he was, she didn't even have a clue. She no doubt thought she was 'not ugly'. Leon figured she saw herself as a tomboy and figured everyone else did too. But Leon could see the looks that these guys were giving her as she made their drinks and drank the ones they bought for her. There was lust on the face of more then a few of them. Plus she was so honest and open. She wasn't acting, she was just having a good time.
He hadn't been planning on coming. This was not his scene. But the urge to see Kat was stronger then his aversion to clubs. He spotted the rest of his team and hers right away. He walked up to them and sat down in the only open seat between Brian and Sean.
"She's working at the bar for her friend Monte for a few." Sean told him. Leon looked up in shock. He guessed that Sean must approve of him, the other man almost seemed to be encouraging his attention on Kat. Leon nodded and stood up. He walked up to the bar. He watched the guys buy Kat drinks. He turned his back to the bar to think for a second. He heard a female voice call out.
"Hey, jersey boy, this is a no parking zone, you need to buy a drink or move on. See the sign?" They must be talking to him, the voice was right behind him and he was wearing a jersey. Leon turned around to see Kat pointing at a sign that said 'Skyline parking only.' She smiled when she saw who it was.
"Leon! I guess you're allowed to park here. I bought the sign figuring it would let me stand here and no one else."
"Well, I guess you never planned on me." He stated with a grin.
"True dat." He'd never know the half of it. "Wanna drink?"
"You got Corona?" He asked her. She reached into a fridge and handed him the drink. "how much?" He asked.
"On the house. I work for free so I can do that every once in awhile. So I thought you weren't comin'?"
"I got bored at home alone. How long you stayin' back there?" Monte came over and whispered to Kat. He told her the next song was the one she was waiting for.
"Till now. Thanks Monte." The bartender lifted Kat on top of the bar. "Help me down Le? I'm pretty trashed." Leon held a hand out to her, saw that would not be enough help and grasped her around the waist then lowered her to the ground.
"It's only 11:30, how are you wasted already?"
"Cause I've been pounding shots since we got here."
"Kitten, that's not a great idea."
"I'll pay for it tomorrow. Let's dance. I happen to know the next song is gonna be a good one."
"I don't know. I'm not a big dancer."
"Oh, it's easy, just follow me, this is a sorta slow song anyway." She dragged him out to the dance floor just as the song ended. "Just hold my hips and follow my lead, it'll be fine." She told him as the pulsing sounds of Voodoo by Ashanti filled the club. It wasn't an all out bootie shake song so she figured even if Leon wasn't much of a dancer he should be able to follow along with her.
He had his hands on her still but they'd moved down toward her butt a little more. Kat had wrapped her right arm around Leon's neck and had her other one over her head as she undulated against Leon. He moved his hands up higher to rub her bare back. He was shocked at how little she was wearing, even though she had more on then most of the racer chasers he saw. Their eyes locked and he felt a spark so intense it shocked him to the core.
Dom and Letty were dancing too, and while they were good dancers, Dom more so then Letty, Dom knew they were nothing compared to how Kat was dancing with Leon. And since they all knew Leon wasn't much of a dancer, that meant it was Kat who could dance. They also looked very intense. Dom knew his secret hope that Leon would forget about the girl and move on was not a likely possibility.
"Do you feel it Kitten?" Where had that come from? But he did want to know if he was alone in this feeling, and she just wanted to dance, or if she felt it too.
"Feel what? Do you mean the.the.flutter.burning in the bottom of my tummy when we're together like this? Oh yeah I feel it. Do you?" She touched the offending part of her tummy right above the waist of her skirt.
Leon couldn't believe how honest she was, and how innocent it came out. It shoulda been a very adult, experienced thing to say, but Kat said it with so much innocence, but with a total lack of artifice he knew she was telling him the truth. "Oh I feel it too girl." And it scared the hell out of him. And he wanted to kiss her. Not the kind of thanks for the dance kiss that could easily be explained but the long deep kind of kiss that burned like fire and made you want the other person with a passion that burned till it either consumed you both or drove you crazy.
She parted her lips and looked at him like she wanted that too. But Leon wasn't going to do it on the dance floor in front of his whole team and all her friends. The song ended.
"I need some air Kitten, wanna come outside with me for a minute?"
"Sure, it's hot in here. One sec while I just tell Sean." She whispered to Sean they were just going for a quick walk around the building. Sean nodded then went to dance with a girl he saw. Stacy and Kale and Rome were all dancing. She looked at the remainder of Team Torreto. "Go dance people, have fun. No one bites and the guys'll look out for ya'll. We won't be long." Leon wrapped his arm around her waist and led her outside.
"I wanted to do this to you for so long." As soon as they were out of sight Leon had Kat backed up to the building and he was kissing her like he hadn't kissed a woman in years. Kat was responding to him totally, kissing him back. She had her arms around his neck tight and her body was pressed tightly against his. Leon couldn't remember the last girl he'd ever felt like this about, like he had to have her or die.
Kat didn't understand what she was feeling. She'd never felt like this before. Never been kissed like this before either. Leon broke off the kiss and started to nibble down her neck. She moaned out "Leeeeee" and didn't finish his name. It was the sexiest thing a woman ever said to him. He licked his way up to her ear and gently bit her earlobe. She was panting in his ear. She'd been a willing participant if a passive one up to that point but when he released her ear she pulled him back to her and kissed him hard as he'd kissed her. Leon realized that if they didn't stop he was going to take her against the back of the club. This wouldn't have been a problem for him with any other girl, but for some reason with Kat, much as he wanted her he didn't want to have their first time, if they were going to have one, be against a building in an alley while Kat was pretty well baked.
"We should go back." He told her after he broke the kiss off for the second time.
"I don't wanna." She told him and rubbed against him like her namesake feline.
"Kat." He groaned out. "If we don't go back, do you know what's gonna happen right here against this building?"
"No," She said with a very suggestive smile. "Why don't you show me?" That made him laugh. She really didn't know, she had ideas, and she was more then ready to have them confirmed.
"Come on back in Kat. We'll take a rain check for now. Let's go have another dance." She followed him back into the club pouting but she forgot about that as they danced once again to another song. Then Leon needed to take a break and Kat danced to a few songs with her guys and Rome. She danced with them totally different then she danced with him. It was faster and involved more of what Kat called booty shake. He wondered where she got the stamina to dance nonstop like she did. She had this sweaty sheen to her that was an incredible turn on. Leon didn't like the way Brian's boy was looking at Kat either. Kat left the floor as he thought that.
Leon watched Kat go get two more drinks, a Rev for herself and a Corona he assumed was for him. She'd thought of him. Leon was very happy over that one little gesture. If it was for him.
Kat walked up to the table and ignored the empty chair on the other side of the table from Leon, over beside Dom. Since there were no chairs she sat down in his lap and gave him the beer.
"Hey baby girl. You have'n a good time?" He asked her.
She whispered something in his ear that made him blush. Dom frowned. He figured he had a fair idea what went on when they disappeared together. And he wasn't happy about it. Leon whispered something back to her and her answer was "Promise?" to which Leon nodded and smiled. She sat there for awhile playing with Leon's hair which was driving him insane.
They all partied and had a good time. Kat hadn't seen Stacy, Kale, Nikki or surprise of surprises Sean for some time. She figured they'd gotten invited out after and they'd gone off. They'd had that plan from the get go but it was strange for Sean to disappear. She figured she'd catch a cab home. The club was closing down. One of the bouncers came up to them and asked Kat if she was ok, since he didn't recognize the people she was with and asked her if she needed a ride.
She told him she was fine, and she introduced the Torreto team. She was about to tell Brody she would love a drive when Leon told her he'd take her home. He'd only had two beer, well spaced out so he was fine. Kat knew he'd be ok to drive and leaving with him sounded good. She told Brody she was fine for a ride. She was still sitting in Leon's lap. If he'd had more to drink Leon knew he'd be all over her right now. He was glad he was sober in one way and wished he'd had more to drink another. But then he wouldn't leave his car here overnight so someone had to drive it home and he'd known all along that it wasn't likely that anyone else on his team would stay sober, but maybe Mia. And he wouldn't let Mia drive his car.
"You ready then baby girl?" Leon asked Kat.
"Sure, if you are." She answered.
"I'll take you all home if you wanna try to cram in the back. If Letty sits on your lap Dom and Mia sits on yours Brian then Kat and Vince share the front seat we'll all fit."
The team all nodded and headed out to Leon's car. It took some doing because of the roll cage but they all got in. It was a tight fit. They drove to Dom's house and they all piled out of the car. Dom looked at Leon, but he was still looking at Kat.
"You wanna go for a drive Kitten?" Leon asked Kat.
"Sure. That sounds good." She slid back into his car and rolled down the window. "See you later Dawg." Leon said to the team in general and slid back into his car. He fired it up and squealed off down the street. "Where do ya wanna go?"
Kat had an idea that was playing with but she wasn't going to give him the exact details yet. "I wanna go downtown and race the little ricers, school 'em some. Show me how you drive." Sounded good to Leon. He sped off for downtown LA. It wasn't hard to find a person who wanted to go. They stopped at a red light just as it turned and in no time a riced out civic pulled up beside them. The Civic revved it's engine and a tinny little whine emanated from it's pathetic 4 cylinder engine. Leon revved his engine and a small flame streaked out of his exhaust and his car growled with power barely under control. "He has no idea what's about happen to 'im." Kat laughed and Leon smiled his agreement. While they waited for the light to come green Kat asked Leon.
"So is it the speed that draws you to street racing or the danger of it or maybe even the chance of getting caught? Maybe all of the above?"
"All of it I think, why?"
"Wanna make this race even more interesting then?"
Leon had no idea what she meant but was intrigued by the idea. "Sure."
She undid her harness and slid into his lap, facing him, making sure that he could still see and reach the shifter and wheel and peddles. She nibbled on his neck the way he'd done to her. "This'll increase the danger, now kick that punk's ass." The punk was busy watching this go down through the still open window.
Leon was surprised but totally intrigued to know what she was gonna do to him. The light turned green and he took off like a shot. The other car didn't even keep up with him for a second. He got in front of the civic in like 2 seconds and the screaming noise of the skyline's tires on the asphalt and the straight pipe exhaust almost drowned out his labored breathing while Kat did very naughty things to his neck and ears. It didn't help he could feel her body pressed against his between him and the wheel. He had to be going 130, he couldn't see the speedo. He was in a 50 zone. The kid in the civic was long gone. He saw the flashing red and blue lights that every racer hated to see in his rear view, some distance off.
"Shit girl, we got cops." Leon said as he sped up and changed lanes. He had to find a place to hide the car and cut the engine while they couldn't see him. He thought he knew of a place just ahead.
"Oh, how exciting." Kat sighed and snuggled closer.
"Hold on to me girl, this is gonna be one hell of a turn."
"I'ma never let go." She sighed and he wasn't sure he even heard her.
He cut the wheel, sailed through the ditch and into the woods on a service road that hadn't been used in some time, he turned a corner and cut everything quickly. If he'd done it fast enough the cops would have no idea where he was, they'd go chasing him down the highway for some time before they realized they lost him. There was no moon out that night which was also on his side. But he was in the total darkness with a very warm, very willing female pressed against him. A female he was so attracted to it scared him.
"You ok Kat?" He asked her.
"Yep. We loose 'em?"
"Yep."
"So how long we gonna sit here?"
"Oh 20 minutes or so."
"OK." She answered and kissed him. Leon was glad he wasn't imagining this spark between them and that was his last conscious though before he didn't think of anything but the girl he was with. They made out for the whole 20 minutes but Leon broke it off. He didn't know what was causing the moral attack but with Kat their first time was not gonna be in a car either. She deserved better then some quickie. She wasn't a skank and he didn't want to treat her like one.
"Ok girl. Let's get you home." She went to slide over into her own seat. "No, stay there." He rolled up the windows. "Now no one can see in anyway and I like how you feel there." He wasn't ready to lose the closeness of having her there against him. He sped off into the night.
"OK. I told you I wasn't ever lettin' go." She murmured into his neck and then wrapped her arms around his neck. He drove home with her snuggled up to him like that.
"Kitten, you're home. Baby? You're home." Leon was talking softly to her. There were no lights on so he figured they were the first ones home or all her friends were in bed. They were only gone about 45 minutes all together though so it seemed to make more sense that no one was home.
"Umm." Was all he got out of her and he realized she was asleep and totally out of it. Probably sobering up and coming down off her adrenalin. He sighed and looked in her little purse. She only had one key in there. He got it out and opened his door. He was gonna carry her in and just leave her on the couch. As he stood up out of the car and kicked the door closed she instinctively wrapped her arms tight around his neck and her legs around his waist. It at least made her easy to carry, even if it did make him wanna take her to bed, now. He brought her into her house.
"Where are we?" She asked and Leon figured she might be asking in her sleep. She sounded like it.
"Your house. I brought you home Kat."
"I'm asleep." She said. It brought a smile to his face.
"I know. Where's your room, and I'll put you to bed."
"Upstairs, first door on the left." She mumbled, still talking to him in her sleep. Leon headed up the stairs and into her room. It was definitely her room. It smelled like her.
He lay her on the bed. She didn't let go of his neck or waist. "Kay baby girl, here you are. Sleep tight." Since he was still bent over her he kissed her forehead, then tried to stand up to leave her to sleep.
"No Le, you can't leave me, you gotta stay here." She was gonna regret this tomorrow, even in her drunk state she knew she was going to be embarrassed about some of the stuff she'd said.
"Kiiitttteeennn." He drawled out. He didn't trust himself to just stay and sleep in this bed with her.
"PPLLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE? The guys aren't home and I can't remember the last time I had to sleep in an empty house. I'll be scared." No way he could resist that plea.
"OK." At his agreement she let him go. He stood up and stripped to his boxers. He wasn't sleeping in his jeans that was for sure, when his nice comfy room with his own bed where he could sleep in the raw like he always did was right across the street. "Aren't you gonna change into your night cloths Kat?"
"Nope, too tired." She mumbled and rolled over on her side. He unzipped her skirt and took her shoes off. Then he slid the skirt down and off her legs. He was not quite prepared for the briefness of her underwear. He figured she was fine with the rest of her cloths on, her top was just a front and two little strings after all. He didn't figure she could have anything on under it and he wasn't finding out.
Kat was so baked, she only wanted to sleep. She curled up on her side and pulled a pillow under her head. Then she felt Leon's weight dip the other side of the bed. She instinctively fit herself against his side with her head on his shoulder. Leon sighed and pulled the covers up over them. At least he'd had the foresight to lock her door and she had her own bathroom. But he was dead sober and more turned on then he could remember in the recent and not so recent past. He sighed again, kissed her forehead and went to sleep. Even the state he was in couldn't disguise the fact that Kat felt right curled up against him. He never slept with girls, he just slept with them, then they went home or he did, depending on the situation. Waking up in the same bed as Kat was gonna be a first for him.
Dom watched from his window as Leon carried Kat into her house. He didn't miss the fact that she'd already been on Leon's side of the car. Of course the girl had been wasted and she might have passed out in the car. But that still didn't explain how she would've ended up in Leon's lap in the car. Dom had to hand one thing to Kat. If he'd drank what she did, he wouldn't have been able to function at all. He'd have been so fucked up. Kat had been very noticeably drunk, but she'd been far from on her ass. Dom watched her house for 20 minutes but Leon never came out of her house. Then Letty got out of the shower and he had to stop watching. Damn that Leon. Dom told him he couldn't just sleep with Kat and Leon had told him he had no interest in her that way. So much for that idea.
Kat woke up at 4 am sick as a dog. She jumped out of bed and ran for the bathroom. She was violently ill. She'd forgotten to eat supper before she went out so all that liquor had hit her system like a ton of bricks. Now she was more then paying for it. She was sick again and then she realized she had been in a cold sweat in bed and her top was soaked. She was really still far from sober, she'd only been asleep for an hour and a half. She took her top off. Then she got sick again but there was nothing left in her tummy at all. She was so cold and weak. She couldn't get back up from her kneeling position on the floor at all, she tried and fell down. She decided, in her state, that it made more sense to just sleep on the bathroom floor since she was just gonna be sick again anyway. Using that logic she curled in on herself on the bathroom floor and passed out more then fell asleep. The tile floor was so cold and she was already cold and clammy.
Leon heard a crash and it woke him up. It took him a second to remember where he was. Once he remembered what had happened he sat up and realized Kat was not in bed anymore. He quickly headed to the bathroom. Kat was lying on the floor of her bathroom asleep and shaking. Leon kneeled behind her and shook her shoulder gently. "Kitten? You ok?" She only moaned softly in answer. Leon realized how cold her skin felt and how much she was shaking. "Kitten, you need to answer me. Are you ok?"
"YYYeeessss." She stammered out through her chattering teeth.
"You little Liar." Leon answered her back. "Where did your shirt go?"
"It was soaked." She was still forcing the words out while shaking and shivering.
"Did you get sick?"
"Yeah." She said in a small voice.
"Come on, you need to be back in bed." With that he scooped her up and carried her back to her room. She was so light, and she didn't even bother to wrap her arms around his neck, she just kinda flopped in his arms. He lay her on the bed then looked till he found her underwear drawer and took what he assumed was a night shirt out of it. He pulled it over her head and crawled back into bed with her. He'd seen some pretty drunk people but he was really worried about Kat. She wasn't asleep but she wasn't awake either, she was kinda in some sort of stupor he figured. She was still shaking and shivering. "You ever been this sick before?"
"Nooooo." She moaned.
"I think we should take you to the hospital." Leon was getting more and more worried.
"Noooo."
*Flashback*
They were sticking her with needles again. Would they ever stop poking and prodding her. She just wanted to crawl into a hole and die. She was both in a great deal of pain and embarrassed.
She had two IV's already and she'd had stitches too. That had hurt like hell. She couldn't believe that she'd done something so stupid. She'd been in the hospital for weeks and the staff watched her like a hawk, even if they did take good care of her. She hated the hospital ever since.
*End Flashback*
"No hospital."
"Kat, you're really sick. How much did you drink?"
"Too much. I don't remember. I hadn't been out in so long, I was having a great time and I just sorta kept drinking."
"When did you eat last?"
"Lunch, I ate lunch." She was breathing kinda funny.
"Oh Kat." Leon couldn't believe this. She hadn't even eaten dinner. He'd watched her pound down at least 4 straight tequila plus whatever she'd had before he got there, two more tequila after she'd stopped bartending, plus rev. She'd had too much in other words and on an empty stomach too. But he couldn't make her go to the hospital. Well he could but she wouldn't be happy about it. He had an idea, he'd call Brian. Cops had to have lots of first aid training right?
He dialed his own number.
"Leon, who you callin'?" Kat asked him. She was only about a quarter conscious.
"No one, try to stay awake though, Kay?"
"Kay." She murmured as she started to drift off. Leon sighed in frustration and smiled at her need to please him even in this state. She said she'd do what he asked the promptly did the opposite. She was so much like a cat it wasn't funny.
Dom answered on the 4th ring. "Who the hell is this and what the hell do you want? Do you know it's 4:30am?" Dom rasped.
"Dawg, it's Leon. I need to talk to Brian. Like now." Dom came fully awake.
"What's wrong Leon? What happened?"
"It's Kat, she's really sick and I figure Brian knows enough about first aid to know if I should make her go to the hospital." Dom sighed.
"I'll go get 'im." Dom walked up to the door of Mia's room. Much as he wanted to put a stop to it he knew that his baby sister and one of his best friends were sharing a bed in said sister's childhood room. He banged on the door. "Brian."
Brian opened the door a crack scratching his chest. "What's up Bro? It's after 4."
"I know, Leon needs your help on the phone. Here." With that Dom handed Brian the phone and headed back to his bed.
"Leon, what's wrong?"
"Um, well, Kat's really sick. She drank a lot Dawg, and she tells me now she hadn't had anythin' to eat since lunch. I counted like 6 tequila she had plus other stuff. She's kinda actin' funny."
"Funny how?" Brian asked. He was concerned. That was a lot of liquor for anyone on an empty stomach let alone someone as small as Kat.
"Well, she's kinda cold even though it's not cold in here. She was sick. She couldn't get back to her room from her own bathroom. She's shakin' and not really awake."
"Is her skin pale or blue?"
"Not really, just, what's that word man.Clammy."
"Ok, is she breathing funny? Like slow and shallow, or does she take times where she doesn't breath for like 8 or more seconds?" Leon watched her for a second.
"Well, yeah, she's kinda breathing slower then she would normally I think. I wanted to take her to a hospital but she wasn't hearin' it."
"Did you ask her if she's ever reacted to drinking like this before?"
"Yeah, and she said that she never did."
"Well, I'd say you should take her to a hospital. But if she won't go then just keep her warm, make her drink water, lukewarm. If her breathing gets any worse, or you notice that she's blueish take her to the hospital right away. She should go now but she's so damn stubborn.Oh and wake her every hour if you can and if she ever doesn't wake up then get her to a hospital then too."
"Thanks man."
"No problem Dude, just try to make sure she's ok."
"I will." Leon hung up and then looked at Kat. She was asleep. Or he hoped she was asleep not unconscious. "Kat, can you hear me?" He asked and shook her. Her eyes opened and she groaned.
"Yeah, I hear you. I wanna sleep. Why are you being so mean? Keeping me awake." She mumbled out.
"Ok then baby girl, go to sleep." He was glad she woke up. She fell back to sleep almost immediately. Leon pulled her closer, pulled the blankets back up over them both and went back to sleep himself, even though he tried to stay awake to wake her up again.
He woke up around 7am and was again disorientated. He remembered everything and promptly checked Kat over. She was a better color and her breathing was deep and even now. He went and got her a glass of warmish water. He woke her up and she grumbled at him.
"Drink this. It's water but it's kinda warm. Cold water's of limits for now." She tried to refuse the water but Leon made her drink it. She drank the whole water then fell back asleep against Leon. Leon also fell back asleep because he'd had one hell of a night.
He woke up again and checked the clock. It was 2pm on Sunday afternoon. He realized that her guys were likely home and he knew panic. What if they thought he'd taken advantage of Kat while she was that out of it? Well, if they were home they'd seen his car long ago and there was nothing he could do about it now. Kat looked even better now then she had at 7 at least. He shook her awake.
"Mornin' sunshine. Or should I say afternoon." He smiled at her. She was cute with her hair everywhere and that unfocused look in her eyes.
"Ow my head." She answered, and blinked a few times, trying to focus.
"You remember last night?" He asked her. Then he realized she might think he meant remember what they'd done.
"Yeah, but it has this hazy quality to it." She held her head and moaned. Leon had had some hellish hangovers and he knew what she was going through. He went and got her some aspirin and more water. He made her take them and drink down all the water. "I'm so hungry. I'm never hungry after I drink."
"Well, you told me last night you hadn't eaten since lunch time yesterday."
"Oh yeah." She looked sheepish. "Thanks for staying Leon. And for taken' care a'me. I know it musta been a pain." She was embarrassed.
"Naw, it wasn't a pain. I had fun, till you got sick. I never knew a chick as crazy as you." He smiled at her. "Get dressed and I'll take you to someplace that has all day breakfast." Her tummy growled. They both laughed.
"Well, two things. I don't care what you saw last night, I'm not getting dressed in front of you. And two you need some clothes too. Not that I mind but the people outside might not be so easy goin'." Leon looked down at himself.
"Yeah I guess I do. Why don't you get dressed in your bathroom?"
"Now see, it's that kinda smarts I'm gonna keep you around for." She smiled and slowly walked to her closet. She pulled out a pair of yellow track pants then went to her dresser and took out a soft yellow tanktop and some clean underwear. She then walked very carefully into the bathroom and got ready. Leon got dressed in his same clothes while she was gone. She came out of the bathroom and walked up to him. "I'm ready."
"You match my car." Leon chuckled.
"I hope I look better then your car." She waited to see how he would handle that. His car was his baby after all but he'd called her baby girl all night.
"Of course, you look better then my car in a different way." He said.
"Very diplomatic Leon." She grinned. Leon knew he'd passed her little test.
"Thanks. Am I likely to need to call Vince for an armed guard to get out of the house?"
"Naw. Should be cool. Let's go."
