The whole ride home was a mixture of yelling and silence. It was obvious Dom was pissed but also more obvious that Mia didn't care. At almost everything he said she either sighed or rolled her eyes. Finally when he pulled into my driveway I got out of the car and I heard her yell,
"I'm not a little girl any more Dom. I'm growing up! I've got boobs for christ's sake! And you and dad need to learn to deal with that. So what some dudes hit on Roxie and I at the mall? Would you rather have a hideous looking sister who everyone makes fun of you about? Never mind don't answer that just take me the hell home!" I couldn't believe Mia had just snapped like that. Never once in our five day friendship had she so much as raised her voice. I shook my head and let my mom know I was home before heading up to my room and sprawling out on my bed. Everything seemed to rush through my head at once.
Who where these guys at the mall? They looked about sixteen. How did they know Dom? They referred to him by name. Should I call or text Jace? I've never been called darlin before by anyone. Its not a very common term of endearment. I sighed and pulled out my phone and aimlessly stared at it for awhile. Maybe it would speak to me or something. Just then my phone vibrated, scaring the shit out of me. I know I asked for a sign but for real? I opened up the text and it was from Mia.
just text him already! -Mia
I rolled my eyes. Only she would be able to read my mind from down the block. I looked at my hand again and decided screw it!
-Hey its Roxie -
I put my phone on charger and went to take a shower, attempting to keep my mind off of if he texts me back or not. I've never been one to have patience so I figured its the best choice.
After I got out of the shower I got called downstairs. I sighed I guess my anticipation will have to wait five more minutes unless its my night to do the dishes I groaned inwardly I really hope not. I quickly descended the stairs and did everything in my power to stop my mouth from dropping Dominic Toretto was in my living room. Insert girly scream in my head here. I opened up the front door and walked outside and he followed. Act cool Rox this is a once in a lifetime chance. Every word I say could affect our relationship.
"What's up Dom?" I said cool and collected that was a good way to start. He ran his fingers through his very short dark hair.
"We need to talk Rox. Its about these guys at the mall, I'm coming at you rather than Mia because she's gonna think I'm just trying to be her brother which in a way I am." I nodded waiting for him to continue. "they're street racers,cocky ones at that. I see them with different girls each week and I don't want the two of you getting hurt," I raised my eyebrow.
"And how do you see them with a different girl each week?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest. He chuckled, which caused me to drop my arms obviously he caught me off guard.
"You know your accent is really sexy when you're accusing. But ya got me. I'm one too but that's somethin that stays between you and me," he said as he reached over and touched my cheek. I must be dying.
"My accent isn't all that great but thanks. I will do the best I can about Johnny but we will see." He seemed to understand and stepped off of my porch. He turned back around and looked at me.
"Don't let people put ya down about anything. The accent is sexy and also its different so its nice. I'll see you around Rox." He walked down the rest of my yard to the sidewalk and disappeared.
I walked inside and my mom was giving me "the face". The face where I knew she was just as giddy on the inside as I was. I shook my head laughing and walked up to my room. My phone chirped and I shut the door. I walked over to my phone and picked it up. I had two texts from Jace.
~Hey darlin what r u up too
And
~what is it already past ur bed time princess
I rolled my eyes and immediately started texting back. From the looks of it,its going to be a long night.
