Chapter 24-Rookies

Mia's POV

The next day over in L.A...

"Wow. So you mean you actually feel something for this girl?" I asked, not believing what I was hearing.

The ladies and I were all gathered around in the Toretto home, discussing the latest dilemma in the family. CJ, Jeremiah, and Angel were all in school, while Desmond was asleep in his crib. Sasha called the house meeting. Letty wasn't too fond of it being in her and Dom's place. But it stood in the middle of our places, so it was easiest to get to.

"I think so Mia," Sasha said, staring down the bottle of her Corona longneck.

I didn't know what to think of her situation. Of all my years playing the role of den-mother, I never had to deal with this sort of situation. Except for Letty when she was sixteen, but that was just a one time thing. This was completely different. One of my best friends was telling me she thought she felt something for a woman she met in a bar. I mean, I had nothing against this. Except the fact that Sasha was married and a mother. But what I didn't understand was ... why would her and Letty do something so stupid as pretend being gay? Then pursuing women? That was dumb on their part. But it was my job to help in someway. Senia and Lily just sat, listening to the problem at hand. They were just rookies to Toretto problems. Letty didn't speak. Apparently, something in a import magazine was more important.

"Does V know?" I asked, taking another gulp of my Snapple.

"No, but Brian does," my head snapped up at her. Why would Brian know and not Vince?

"Why does Brian know?" I asked, curious to the role Brian played in this.

"He kinda walked in on a compromising situation..." she said, dipping her head down onto the table. Now I was completely curious.

"How so?"

"We were sort of making out," Sasha replied, her eyebrows raised.

"Sasha!" we all yelled in total surprise.

"It just sorta happened okay, get off my back. Look, I don't know what to do. I know I'm not gonna leave V. I couldn't, wouldn't ever leave him. He's my best friend," Sasha said, total sincerity in her voice. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she truely did love Vince. I could also see she felt something else. Something possibly not felt for Vince. Maybe something felt for this Ricky person.

"I think one of us needs to have a little talking with this Ricky," Senia said, finally speaking during the whole conversation.

"NO! Don't say anything to her please guys," Sasha begged.

"Why the hell not Sash?" Letty entered, becoming the older sister again.

"Because, I don't wanna hurt her even more then I have. She knows the score already. She's not asking for a committment. She just wants to be friends."

"Sasha, friends don't make out." I replied.

"I know. I just--need time. Give me some time to think what I'm gonna do," she said, her voice full of confusion.

"Fine. But I still want to talk to her. Don't worry, I'm not gonna interrogate her. I just want to get to know her." I said, hoping to get Sash to agree. "I'll invite her to dinner tonight."

"That's fine. But please ladies, and by ladies I mean Letty, be on your best behavior." Sasha said, a smirk on her face. The rest of us, with the exception of Letty, laughed. She just flipped her sister off.

"Ok, who has school duty today?" Senia asked, looking at her watch. It was about time for the kids to be picked up from school. "I have to get to work soon. I'll be here for dinner Mi, I promise."

"Guess that's me," Lily said, standing from the table. "Who has store duty?"

"That'd be Letty and Sasha," I said, smiling at the ladies. They hated shopping, especially with each other.

"I guess that leaves you with Desmond. He should be waking up any minute now," Sasha said to me, looking at the clock. It was just turning two.

Everyone dispersed to their next locations while I began tidying up the house. It was a bit of a habit though I hadn't cleaned here in years. It wasn't much to do. Just random toys lying around. The den had a few movies on the floor and the trash needed taken out. I did the house chores, making sure to check on Desmond in the den. After finishing cleaning, I fixed myself in front of the television. Martha was talking about turning your rose bushes into the garden sure to make your neighbors jealous. I was about to take notes before I heard the faint cries of Desmond in the den. I stood from the sofa and made my way to the back room. Desmond was sitting up in his crib, his cheeks wet from crying. I slowly picked him up, cradling him in my arms. His tears stopped as he gazed up at me. This kid was truely adorable. His hazel eyes made my heart sink. He looked so much like V it wasn't funny. He even had the same admiration for me as he father once did. I smiled at my thoughts as I carried him back into the living room with me. I wiped his tears and sat him next to me on the couch. This was really the first alone time Dez and I had since his birth. I wasn't sure how he would react to me. For some reason, I felt nervous. Oh c'mon Mia, he's almost two years old, not twenty. I was in the process of thinking what to do next before the phone rang. Thank God.

I walked to the kitchen and lifted the phone from the wall. It was Sasha, asking what all we needed for the dinner.

"Um, just pick up some things for a salad. I think we have everything else here," I replied.

"Oh yeah, Lily said she's going to take the kids out to eat then to your Aunt's for a while. Give us adults a little private time," she said. I could hearing Letty in the background, bitching as usual. "These prices are high as hell!" she yelled. I smiled.

We hung up after agreeing on not spending more then forty bucks in the supermarket. I made my way back over to the couch, where Desmond was sitting quietly. He was staring at one of the toys I had missed ... a Nissan Altima. I picked it up and handed it to him, waiting for his response. Giggling, he rolled his fingers against the bottom of the wheels.

God bless, another car freak.

Sasha's POV

We were in the check-out line at the supermarket when my cell phone ringing. I figured it was Mia calling back so I didn't bother to look before I answered.

"Hey baby," I joked, as I did often with Mia.

"Hey there," a familiar voice said.

"Ricky?" at the mention of the name, Letty was barely able to contain her laugh. I flipped her off as I walked out of the line. "Sorry I thought you were Mia," I said, mentally kicking myself.

"Oh. Is she one of your other experiments?" she said, her tone slightly angry.

"Actually my sister-in-law. When are you gonna give me a break on that? I apologized for it okay."

"I'm sorry. It's just been an off day. I just called to see if you wanted to hang out today," she replied, sighing. She sounded stressed.

"Actually, me and the ladies are having a little dinner, wanna come?"

"Really? That'd be great," the tone in her voice changed. I smiled at her childish voice.

"Great. Call me back around eight and I'll give you the directions."

"Ok. See ya then," she responded.

"Bye," I said, hanging up my cell.

"Was that the misses?" Letty asked, sarcasm dripping from her voice.

"Shut the fuck up. If you weren't pissy drunk that night, it'd be you in my situation," I responded, loading our bags into the shopping cart.

"Yeah, but it's not," Letty laughed, pushing the cart outside the market. Just like the teenager she was inside, she jumped onto the cart as it rolled down the slight hill. I laughed as the cart tipped back, almost knocking her on her ass.

Big ass kid.

Lily's POV

"Be good kids," I said, watching the kids run to Dom and Mia's Aunt Leslie's home. She said she wanted to spend some time with the kids, which was perfect, considering we wanted an adult night. Except for Letty and Sasha, whom together, had the mind equivalent to a eight year old. I shook off my thoughts and put my Spyder Evo in reverse. I took off down the road, turning the radio up full blast. The latest rap song from Jay-Z blasted threw my speakers. I was too busy trying to adjust my AC that I didn't notice the police cruiser flashing his lights behind me. "FUCK!" I yelled as I pulled over. I'm two blocks away, two fucking blocks! I grabbed my license and registration from the glove compartment as the officer approached my car. I rolled down the window.

"What can I do for you officer?" I asked, staring up at the man. He looked like he was in his early-twenties, had sandy-blonde hair and blue eyes. He reminded me much of Brian. Except for the fact that he was staring down my v-cut top. I'm sure Brian wouldn't do that. "Excuse me? Can I help you with something? Or is my shirt doing that for you?" I said, attitude evident in my voice. Fuckin' rookies, I thought.

"Um, license and reg-" I handed it to him before he could finish. I reached to continue fixing my air conditioner, but was quickly stopped. "Hands on the wheels!" the cop yelled, his hand positioned on his gun.

"Honestly, smart guy, are you gonna shoot me for cranking up the air?" I paused, waiting for a response, "I didn't think so." I said, turning my air on full blast. He handed me back my things.

"Do you know how fast you were going back there?" he asked, fighting hard to keep his eyes off my cleavage.

"Isn't it your job to tell me?" I replied, hoping to piss this guy off. I hadn't had trouble with the law in years, I missed the good ol' days.

"Well the speed limit around here is forty-five. You were doing fifty," he replied, scribbling something down on his pad. "This is a ticket. It's to be paid in thirty days," he handed me the slip of paper. I nearly crapped my pants as I saw the amount.

"You're shittin' me right? One hundred and fifty dollars?!"

"Yes ma'am. You have a nice day," the rookie said, catching one last glance down my top. I cursed under my breath as I stashed the ticket in the glove compartment and continued for the house.

Fucking pigs.
