Sorry for the wait. I'm just getting lazy, I have no excuse. But school is starting up again, so that'll have most of my time. Thankfully, I'm taking two shop classes so I'll be able to kick ass with my stories now lol. Anyways, read & review.
Chapter 69-Rough Motivation
"Vince, get up and help, or leave. You're becoming dead weight and it's annoying the piss out of me," Dom grumbled, kicking V's feet off the coffee table as he walked by. The boys were finishing up the inside of the old beach house, all the while, Vince was kicked back watching the tube.
"My back hurts," he stated simply, tossing some potato chips into his mouth.
It had been almost two weeks since Vince was released from the hospital and he hadn't done much with his time. Although he wasn't a 100 percent better, he was anxious to get out and help the boys with the new house. For the first few days, his help was much appreciated. But while using his back as an excuse, Vince had become lazy, grouchy, and bossy. Not only was his behavior irritating the boys, but Sasha wasn't enjoying it either. He barely moved around the house, usually finding solstice on the sofa in front of the television. He was messy, temperamental, and whiny and the family was losing patience.
While Vince was kicking back, the boys worked hard to make the house livable. The living room was now equipped with a long couch, two Lay-Z-Boy recliners, and an entertainment center. Upstairs, in Dom and Vince's old room, the two twin beds were moved out and replaced with a full bed. A small twenty-inch television was added, along with a DVD player. In Jesse and Leon's room, the bunk beds and computer desk were both removed, now furnished with a futon bed, a bean bag, and a Playstation game system. In the last and largest of the rooms, Mia and Letty's, the queen size mattress was replaced with a newer one. A dresser and makeup area was added.
After loading the new accessories in the bathrooms, the boys finally all gathered in the living room. They were just about finished with the old beach house and would soon be ready to start the new one.
"They better fucking love me," Leon mumbled to Brian as they both descended the stairs. They were all exhausted.
"So D, you think all this stuff will be okay while we aren't here? I mean, there's a lot of expensive shit in here," Jesse asked, flopping down on the sofa next to Vince.
"It should be. We'll lock it up real tight. One of us will come by every once in a while to check on it," Dom replied. "Vince, you mind giving us a hand with the rest of the boxes?" Dom asked, running his hand over his buzzed head exhaustedly.
"Ugh, whatever," Vince surrendered, standing from the sofa
"Dinner's on the table," Mia called out as the men entered the Toretto home.
After disposing of the left over debris and boxes from the beach house, the whole family decided to meet up back at the Toretto house for a cool down. Mia cooked up a big, but discreet dinner for the family. The children were upstairs playing with their toys, while the two teenage girls were in the den on the phone. Desmond and Jessica were sitting with the ladies in the living room, playing with toys. The boys flopped down wherever there was a free spot and invited the love and warmth from their family into their atmosphere. Still, tension can be felt building up.
"Rome, dawg, there's chicken!" Vince called from the kitchen, he being the only one in there. Rome perked up at the mention of his favorite dish and joined Vince.
"So how's the house going? Almost done?" Letty asked Dom, whom was slouched on the couch beside her. She could tell he was stressed by his body language. He was sloppy and tense.
"It'd be better if we could get a little fucking cooperation," he mumbled, his arms slung over his face.
Looks of confusion controlled the women's faces as they looked to their respective husbands.
"Vince. He's being dead weight," Jesse explained, leaning his head back as Diana massaged his scalp.
"He just sits around complaining about his back while WE do all the work," Brian added, cuddling with Mia in the wide recliner.
Before anyone else could speak, the kitchen door pushed open, revealing Vince, a plate of food in hand.
"Woah. Why do I get the feeling you guys were plotting against me?" Vince joked dryly, oblivious to angry looks he was receiving from Sasha.
"We're out," Leon stood, walking over to the coat hanger at the door. He knew if he stayed any longer, he and Vince would end up rumbling. "Javier, let's go man!"
"Yeah, we're gonna head out too. Thanks for the meal Mia," Ricky said, her and Chrystal exiting the house.
"Did I spoil the party?" Vince asked, once again, jokingly. Dom rolled his eyes and stood from the couch, trekking to the kitchen for 'fresh' air.
"Alright Dez, let's go bud. Daddy's pissing everyone off," Sasha lifted her son from the floor.
"Guess we're leaving," Vince handed Mia his plate, "Later," he called over his shoulder before shutting the door.
"Vince, can you please get the laundry?!," Sasha yelled from upstairs for the third time.
"My back's killing me. Why can't you get it?" he yelled back up to her, not removing his eyes from the television.
"Because I'm giving Dez a bath!" she yelled, ignoring the giggles that were coming from Dez as she washed his feet. "Lazy ass..." she mumbled something else incoherently.
After she finished bathing her son, she dressed him and took him to Jayden's room. She was listening to loud rock music, bopping around the room. She smiled at Sasha and took Desmond willingly.
At hearing the mumbling and stomping of Vince's feet, Sasha decided it was time too act. She knew she'd have to handle the situation carefully because Vince was sensitive about the shooting. But she was fed up with his behavior lately. She had ignored it for the longest time, allowing him to use the excuse excessively. But it was becoming frustrating. He was lazy, sloppy, grumpy, and she had enough.
Sasha took a deep breath and pushed the laundry room door open, watching as Vince pulled clothes from the dryer to the clothes basin. He had an angry scowl on his face and his back didn't seem to ache as much as he expressed.
"Vince, what's your problem?" Sasha asked from the door, shifting her weigh to one leg. He began loading other clothes into the washer.
"I don't have a problem, Sasha. I'm just in pain and I'm tired of having to be the one to do everything around here," Vince replied, his monotone voice showing his uninterest in the conversation.
"What the hell do you do around here Vince?! You don't do shit. You sit glued in front of the television complaining all damn day! Now I know Colby said you weren't 100 percent but dammit Vince, stop being lazy!" Sasha yelled, her anger getting the best of her.
"I'm not lazy! My back does hurt!" he replied, his voice sincere.
"That very well may be Vince, but you need to clean up your attitude because you aren't fooling anyone anymore. Quite frankly, it's becoming annoying," Sasha said, her voice filled with anger.
She noticed the hungry look he had in his eyes. Vince always did love when she got angry. It found it intimidating, yet sexy. Sasha tried her hardest not to fall for the gawking man again and to keep her temper intact.
"Don't do that V, don't look at me like that. I'm not a piece of meat. I'm serious Vince, you're really pissing everyone off," she managed to say, even if she cracked a grin at his lustful playfulness.
"So what. Get mad," he growled, stalking towards her. He pressed his warm body against her, forcing the door behind her shut.
"Vince, I'm trying to have a serious conversation-" her words were interrupted by the crashing of his lips onto hers. He moved his kisses from her lips, to her neck, to her collarbone and back, biting and nibbling along the way. He pulled on the hem of her tank, forcing it over her head.
"Vince ... what ... about ... Dez?" she whispered between groans.
"Off," Vince demanded, tugging on her jeans. In a quick flash, Sasha's pants and panties were off and in a corner of the room. Vince lifted her by her ass, her legs automatically wrapping around his waist. He carried her over to the running dryer, plopping her down on the cold utility. Turning the tables on him, Sasha snatched Vince's shirt off, scraping her nails over his hair abs.
"Pants off now!" she growled, causing Vince to smirk. He did as he was told, kicking his legs out of his jeans.
"Eli, careful!" Letty yelled from her place on the beach. Elijah had been tossing buckets of dirt at Jerry for the past few minutes.
"I thought Jesse was working with him?" Lily asked, shading the sun from her eyes while watching the children play in the beach sand.
"Yeah, well you see how that's going," Letty mumbled, going back to rubbing suntan lotion on her protruding belly.
The family, including Shaye and Ricky, was enjoying the beach while the boys, including Charlie, were undergoing the second week of constructing the new beach house. After a little 'rough motivation', Vince was more than happy to contribute to the building of the house. The heat was pestering, making it more irritating for the men working with wood and paint.
Jayden and Chrystal were enjoying their beach house, along with Chrystal's boyfriend, a boy named Crawford. Though he was brawny, he was a clueless klutz, which is why the boys didn't mind him around. He was Leon and Jesse's comedic relief. Ricky didn't like the fact that he was a year older than Chrys, but she allowed her to make her own choices, or mistakes.
"Ladies, even though it's not my cup of tea, you sure do own a gorgeous pack of men," Ricky said, looking under her shades at the topless hunks. Their muscle-bound bodies were covered in beads of sweat and even sand. Dom and Vince's pants were riding extremely low, causing both Sasha and Letty to drool at the sights. If the children weren't present, they knew it'd be an all out orgy right there in the open.
"Uh-oh Dom, they have that look in there eyes again. Should I get the hose and cool 'em off?" Leon asked, causing the boys to burst into a rift of laughter.
"Le, you better watch it!" Letty laughed, tossing her sandal at him. The ladies joined into the laughter. "Oh, calm down, I have something to tell you guys!" Letty said, struggling to get to her feet. The process of having another twenty pounds added onto her but her in extreme discomfort. Managing to get to her feet, she called Jayden, Chrys, and Crawford out of the beach house.
"What is it Let?" Dom asked, surprised that she had news that he hadn't known about.
"Well, I was sitting down with Elijah and Casey and we decided on a name for the upcoming Toretto," she explained, fixing her visor over her face. She knew it was the ugliest hat, but it kept the sun from burning her face.
"What? You decided without even talking to me about it?" Dom asked, quirking an eyebrow at her. How inconsiderate, he thought.
"Well I just figured that I'd let the kids pick it out. We both decided one, so I let them choose," Letty replied, shrugging her shoulders. The thought of two eight year-olds naming his unborn child made Dominic think the worst.
"Well? What is it?!" Mia screamed, unable to hold in her excitement. Whenever the baby was discussed, she grew cheery and jittery, barely able to contain her excitement.
"Benjamin Diego Toretto," Letty replied, a sense of pride booming through her voice. She could see Dom's expression instantly change from upset to heart warmed. A smile broke over his face.
"Benjamin," he repeated, happy at how natural it rolled of his slightly-accented tongue. Dom smiled and ran to Letty, pressing his warm, moist lips to her belly, kissing their unborn child. "Benjamin Diego, Daddy's little boy. I love you Little Man," Dom placed sloppy kisses all over her belly, causing the whole family to laugh and smile.
"Alright loverboy, time to get back to work," Vince laughingly pulled Dom from Letty and back over to the house.
Sorry for the wait again. I think next chapter will do it for this story. I know it hasn't been as pleasing, but I'll make it long. Thanks for riding out this long with me. I might do an epilogue on this chapter or maybe just an extra chapter, but the official end in is chapter seventy. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!
