Chapter 5: Duels

Matty walked into the house, just as the team was sitting down to eat breakfast. She was still clad in last night's outfit. Her hair was messy and the love bites all over her body told of the night's events.

"Where were you?" Dom asked, as she walked past them. "Fuck off," she replied, making her way downstairs. Minutes after her descent to the "Bat Cave" as she called it, footsteps followed.

Letty appeared in her doorway, just as she was climbing into bed. "So…who was he? Details, girl, details," she said, climbing into bed with her. Matty sighed and closed her eyes. "He came back for me, Letty. He was gone for all those years and now he's back."

--

Letty listened to the dramatic story that Matty was telling her about her life and hugged her friend. It was sad, much like her own life story. The two sat together that Sunday morning, bonding.

--

Much to the team's surprise, Matty was up early and at the garage before the rest of the team. For the rest of the day, she was energetic, full of life, and optimistic.

She made conversation with all of them, including Dom, which shocked them all. She did a full 180 on her attitude towards the team and it was like she had lived with them since forever.

--

Letty revved up Matty's skyline and groaned at the funny noise it was making. "Girl, this car is finished," she said. Matty slammed the hood down and cursed. "What am I going to do? Everyone is at the garage and I still need to go to the supermarket before Mia gets home and shits bricks," Matty said, leaning against the car.

"It's probably the intake girl. It's just clogged up. Go ask grumpy for a ride to the supermarket, while I try to fix this piece of crap," Letty said. Matty scoffed and looked at the Maxima in the driveway. "Why can't you go?"

Letty looked at her and laughed, remembering the last time they sent her to the supermarket. She returned an hour later with a bag of Doritos and a six pack of Corona. "Maybe that's not a good idea," Matty said, making her way into the house.

Matty made her way down the basement stairs and towards Vince's room. She fixed the beanie on her head and knocked on the door. After waiting a couple of minutes, she knocked again and pushed the door open.

The room was dark and cold. She found Vince stretched out on the bed, still clad in all his clothes. "Vince?" She asked, softly. He stirred lightly and mumbled softly. She called his name out again and he cracked an eye open. "What the fuck do you want?" He growled.

"I need to feed your hungry ass. My car is busted and Letty rode with me. It's either you drive me or I take your car," she said. Vince flipped over and looked at her.

He groaned, weighing the options. He never let anyone drive his car and it was either driving her or starving. Both the options were pretty close but the fact that if he didn't drive her it would lead to Mia kicking his ass, made him choose to drive her.

Vince stood up from the bed, "Let's get one thing straight. No talking whatsoever and no girly shit," he said, stretching out his body. Matty scoffed and pushed him out the door.

As they emerged from the basement, Letty walked into the house. "You guys should pick up some things for the BBQ tomorrow. You know Dom is going all out for Mia's birthday," she said.

"SHIT!" Matty and Vince said in unison. The looked at each other and scowled. "You forgot too?" Matty asked. Vince nodded, picking up his car keys off the coffee table. "Come, if we hurry we can get her something at the mall and stop by the supermarket," she said, grabbing his arm and dragging him out the front.

--

Vince muttered something explicit as Matty dragged him into yet another store. "Would you rather Mia remember you for getting her something crappy or a perfect present?" She asked.

"You don't even know her size," he whined, motioning to all the clothes around him. "Oh this is for me. You're getting her some jewelry," she said, picking up an outfit and heading to the dressing room.

Luckily the store was empty, making Vince feel a little comfortable around all the girly clothes. He went into the dressing room, waiting outside of her stall door, as she changed. He heard grunts and a zipper give way. He laughed loudly and sat down in a chair that was there for customers.

Matty opened the stall door and came out in a light blue sundress. It was tight, grabbing onto all the right curves. Vince swallowed roughly and took in a deep breath. He felt himself stiffen at the sight of her. He mentally kicked himself for thinking that way about her. "I see someone is trying to stand out tomorrow in a dress that cuts off all circulation," he said, giving her the once over. She tuned around, checking herself out in the mirror.

"Not tomorrow, tonight," she said, heading back to the stall. Vince appeared behind her, stopping the door from closing. "What's the deal with you and homeboy? You spend more time over there than at home with the team," he said. Matty turned around and glared at him.

"He's a good friend, Vince. What's it to you?" She asked, feeling defensive. He swiftly pushed her up against the wall and pushed her hair aside, showing all the hickeys she was sporting on her neck and torso. "Just the fact that every morning I have to see you crawl back into the house sporting those goes to show that he's more than a friend," he said.

Vince ran his hands up and down over her shoulders and proceeded to place soft kisses on them. She pushed him off and slapped him lightly on the chest. Matty grabbed him by the hair, forcing his face close to hers. "Jealous, Vince? That I scream his name out and not yours. That it's his body I sleep next to or are you just plain mad that it's my body you want and can't have?" She hissed at him.

He pushed her off, flipping her around and pushing her up against the wall. He was facing her backside and breathing deeply. He was trying to control his anger while stopping himself from ripping off her clothes and taking her right then and there. But then again, he never knew how to say no to a challenge.

Vince pressed himself against her, pushing his manhood into her. "You feel that?" He asked her, pressing himself harder against her. Matty nodded and began grinding against him. "Yes I want you and if I wanted to I could have you." He thinks he can get one over me, top this, she thought to herself.

He moaned softly at the feel of her ass in his lap. Vince grabbed onto her waist and regulated their rhythm, pushing him close to the edge. She began to feel his hand crawl down her thigh and in between her legs. When he found her sweet spot, she began to moan and scratch the wall with her hands.

Suddenly Vince stopped, knowing that if they continued he would go crazy, but she didn't. Matty continued moaning loudly- but this time the moans were fake. Vince took a step back and took in a deep breath.

Matty flipped around, a sick little smile on her face. She took a step and grabbed onto his crotch with one hand and with the other the back of his head. She kissed him passionately, while rubbing his throbbing member. She pulled away breathlessly and licked her lips.

"When you grow balls as big as mine come back and try again. Until then, you're on the sidelines."

--

Matty jumped into the car and threw the jewelry box at Vince. He sped off towards the supermarket and brought the car to a screeching halt. He climbed out, slamming the door shut behind him. Matty followed suit, grabbing a shopping cart on the way inside the market.

They loaded up two carts full of food and spent the car ride home in silence. "Never grab or push me, Vince, it pushes me to the edge, brings back memories and sets me off," she whispered, as he pulled into the driveway.

Vince looked over at her and saw the sadness creep into her eyes. He nodded softly an exited the car, a scowl once again upon his face.
