Chapter 3

It had been a while since Mia and I had gotten to their house and I was having a blast. I wasn't usually the party type but after the strange night I had I needed to unwind in the worst way possible.

Every time I sat down somebody pulled me back to my feet so they could dance with me. I was an okay dancer I supposed, but even with my favorite song blaring out of the sound system; I just didn't have the stamina to be dancing all over the place. I excused myself and walked towards the kitchen where I had seen Mia and Letty vanish a few minutes ago. I walked in just as the chorus of Nelly's song started.

~*~It's gettin' hot in here. So hot. So take off all yo' clothes. I am getting so hot; I wanna take my clothes off. ~*~

God, I love this song, I thought as I began to sing along.

The looks that Letty and Mia gave me were priceless. I wanted to crack up laughing. But I figured that I had done enough of that already for one night. Mia was sitting down in a chair by the table sipping on a Snapple and Letty was perched on the counter top, with a corona in hand. I pulled out a chair from the table, swung it around, sat down and rested my chin on my arms.

"This the kinda' parties y'all have all the time?" I asked, in disbelief.

Letty took a long swig of her corona and grinned, "You better' believe it, chica. We be rocking the house until the sun comes up," she began. "We do this every time there's a race."

"Yeah, every single time. A person can't even study; the noise is blastin' so high." Mia scoffed and reached behind her to open the frig. She pulled out a Snapple and handed it to me. "Here, ya go. Us non-drinkers have to stick together. Don't want you to get dehydrated with all that dancing you've been doing."

"Thanks, I am kind of thirsty." I said as I took a long drink. As I sat the bottle down on the table I noticed Letty staring at me with her mouth wide open. "What!"

"You don't drink?"

"No. I can't stand the stuff, and plus it goes straight to my head." I said as I played with the top from the Snapple bottle. "The last time I drank anything was about 3 years ago."

"Three, years? Are you serious?"

"It's not so bad."

"Yeah Letty, it's not so bad. Not when you have Snapple." Mia chimed in, saving me from more of her questions.

I snickered as a though came to me, "Yeah, you can be non-drinkers with me and Mia. Came on join the Snapple club. We're excepting members all the time."

Letty looked at both of us as if we had lost our minds.

Mia leaned over and whispered near my ear, "Maybe Dom and the rest of the guys will give it up too."

Letty must of heard what Mia said because she let out a snort of disgust, "Them, give up drinking, give up coronas, it's never going to happen."

"What's never going to happen?" I turned my head slightly to get a look at who had just spoken. It was that guy again; the one that Mia had called Leon. My heart nearly stopped. I had seen him a few time during the past 3 hours. Never talked to him, just saw him. He was always somewhere with a barrage of girls trailing after him.

"Oh, nothin' just girl take." Letty said trying to suppress a grin.

"Girl talk? Coming from you, Let?" He said as he turned to look my way. As inviting as he was, at that exact moment, he was really starting to make me fell uncomfortable. He had the kind of eyes, that hypnotize you. He was the kind of guy that could make you want time without even trying.

After a while Letty nudged Mia, and whispered in her ear. I was sure that they were talking about the way Leon and I were gazing at each other.

Because Letty arched her brow as Mia tried to get our attention.

Mia cleared her throat causing us to turn towards her, "I don't think you guys have been introduced."

"Naw, 'cuse I would have definitely remembered her." He said huskily as he shoved his hands into his pockets.

"Leon, this is Ella. She was the one that tied with Letty at the races."

"Oh, shit. That was you?" He asked.

I shrugged not knowing what else to do, "Yeah, that was me."

"First time anybody tied with Letty."

Letty rolled her eyes, as she downed the last of her corona and jumped off the counter top, "I'm gonna go find, Dom. I'll catch you guys later." She said as we watched her retreating form.

I yawned and glanced down at my watch. It was past 2:00am. No wonder I was yawning.

"I really should be going too. It's kind of late." I said as I got up and pushed the chair back under the table.

"Okay, but stop by anytime." She began. "As a matter of face. why don't you come to the Diner tomorrow. You can keep me company." Mia got up, grabbed a random piece of paper from the refrigerator, and began writing something on it. After she was done she handed it to me. It was the address of the Diner.

"Okay, what time should I come by?"

"Anytime after 9:00 in the morning. I'm usually there until closing at 8:00."

I shoved the piece of paper into my back pocket and stretched. I turned to Leon on my way out of the kitchen and found that he was still standing in the same spot that we had left him in. I gave a slight wave, "Bye, Leon. It was nice meeting you."

He gave me a slight nod in response and opened the frig. He pulled out a corona and drank the whole thing in to sips. I wasn't really sure why I was still standing there looking at him. But I couldn't help myself. There was just something about him...

I swung around as Mia poked me, hard, in the shoulder.

"Ouch! What was that for." I said rubbing the area that she had just assaulted.

She leaned over and spoke so that Leon couldn't here us, "You were drooling El."

I blushed and Mia started to laugh.

"I was not drool." I said firmly shaking my head. I knew I was, but I didn't want here to know. I also didn't want Leon to know and from that big stupid grin that he was now giving me, I saw that it was useless.

"Come on, come one, enough embarrassing me for one night." I said as guided Mia away from the kitchen and towards the door. I waved to Letty and the rest of the guys on the way out.

Mia walked me to my car, "Oh yeah, don't forget to stop by tomorrow." She began with an evil glint in her eye. "And don't forget to wear something sexy."

"Why?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Because Dom's garage is next door to the diner, and all the guys work their."

I stared at her eyes wide, "All the guys?" I asked reluctantly.

"Yeah, Dom, Letty, Vince..."

I dropped my head on the steering wheel, I was going to kill Mia.

"...and Leon. And don't even try getting out of coming tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay." I muttered and waved. "I'll see ya tomorrow.

I road the short distance to my apartment building and climbed out of the car. I was more tired then I had first thought. I dragged myself up the three flights of stairs to my apartment and opened the door. I didn't even bother to cut on any lights as I made my way to my bedroom. I dropped my keys on the dresser, yanked off my boots and fell on the bed. Within minutes I was asleep.
