Time goes by faster when your in love. The month seemed to fly by before Dom got out of prison and even though Mia and Johnny had wanted to make the month special they didn't get the chance. Dom talked to Vincethree week before he was supposed to get out of Lompoc and told him to use the money they had left over and buy a building in the good part of town. He had been talking to one of the guards and they had gotten him to thinking about starting a new life for himself so he had decided to open a store that he would call Torretto's. For basically the whole month Mia didn't have any free time because she always had to be at the store. Dom told her that she would be working there when he got out of prison. It would give her some extra money and let him spend time with her since he had been gone so long. Mia finally got a chance to go see Johnny the day before they had to go pick up Dom. When she found him he was in the garage beside his dad's mansion with Lance. Mia had opened the door quietly but Johnny and Lance had both still heard her and turned around to look at her. Johnny glanced at Lance and Lance walked past her and out the door.
"Hi," Mia said. Johnny wiped his hands off on a white bandanna laying on the top of the raised hood of the Honda he was working on.
"Hey," he replied. Mia twiddled her thumbs nervously as Johnny turned around and leaned back against the front of the car.
"So, where have you been," he asked. Mia lowered herself down onto the floor and leaned back against the wall. She brought her knees up against her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs.
"I was helping out at the new store Dom is buying," she replied. Johnny's muscles tensed at the sound of Dom's name and Mia could tell he was trying hard to hold back his anger. He turned and grabbed the bandanna off the top of the car before slamming the hood down. Mia jumped but didn't say anything.
"So does this mean it's over," Johnny asked while he remained standing at the car with his back to her.
"I guess," Mia whispered. Johnny slammed his fist down against the hood of the car angrily and Mia screamed. Johnny placed the palms of his hands down flat on the hood of the car but still didn't turn around to face her.
"I love you. I don't want it to be over," he whispered. Mia barely heard it. She stood up and walked over to him. She placed her hands on his shoulders and laid her head down on the upper part of his back.
"I love you too but Dom would never let us be together," Mia replied. Johnny didn't say anything for a second and Mia was worried about him but then he grabbed her waist and pulled her around in front of him. He pushed her back onto the car and then leaned down to kiss her. He kissed her lips gently as she rested her hands on his shoulders and kissed him back. The kiss ended too soon like all of the things they did together seemed to do. Johnny kissed her cheek. Mia kept her eyes open afraid that if she closed them or even blinked Johnny would go away, he wouldn't love her anymore and then she wouldn't know how to survive. Johnny moved away from her and stared down at her. He smiled and then took herhand to help her back up off of the car.
"Will you stay with me tonight," he asked. Mia nodded and hugged him.
It didn't take Johnny long to grab a few blankets and some pillows. They were going to spend the night on the secluded part of the beach where they had gone before. Johnny grabbed some wine out of his dad's liquor room downstairs and they were on their way. Johnny had just started up the car and shifted into second when Mia reached her hand over and intertwined her fingers with his.
Johnny built a small fire on the beach and spread their blankets out beside it. Mia sat on one of the blankets and watched Johnny as he attempted to open the bottle of wine. She started giggling as she saw the muscles in his face straining as he tried to get the wine open. He glanced up at her and smiled as he kept trying. He pointed the bottle toward his face as he tried to get it open and Mia laughed even harder.
"You know if you hold it like that that thing will probably come up and hit you in the face," she said as she tried to stifle her laughter some. Johnny gave her a look and then pointed the bottle away from him. He finally got the cork popped out of the bottle and turned to Mia to show her his cocky smile. She clapped and pretended to be very impressed at how strong and macho he was. Johnny walked slowly over to Mia. His cocky smile never left his face as he took a long drink of the wine and then moved down on his knees in front of her. He held the bottle out to her.
"Want some," Johnny asked. Mia laughed and nodded her head. Johnny handed herthe bottle and Mia took an even bigger drink than he had. As shehanded the bottle back to him she made a face that let him know she thought the drink was too strong and he started laughing.
"Wine is too strong for you," Johnny asked. Mia smiled and grabbed the bottle again. She took a long drink and smiled as she handed the bottle back to him. He laughed and leaned in closer to kiss her. He held the bottle of wine between them as he slowly began to kiss her lips. Johnny gently pushed her back onto the blanket and began to try and slip off her clothes with his free hand but the wine slipped out of his hand and the contents of the bottle spilt out over Mia's stomach. She screamed and Johnny laughed. Mia pushed against his chest playfully before laughing with him.
"That was cold, you jerk," she replied. Johnny smiled and moved his face down until his face was inches from hers. Mia giggled and pretended to attempt to get away from him.
"What was that? What did you just call me," Johnny replied trying to look evil but failing miserably because of the smile on his face.
"Jerk," Mia said a little louder. Johnny looked shocked but his smile remained and he moved his hands down to entangle his fingers with hers.
"Ooh you better not call me that again," Johnny replied again before laughing softly. Mia giggled and licked her lips.
"Jerk," she whispered. Johnny's smile widened as he lowered his face down to hers and began to kiss her passionately.
