Chapter 24-Lovebirds

Mia's POV

-Sunday morning-

It was finally Sunday. Family barbecue. I invited Lily and Brian to come. I wanted to see for sure if they were really related or if I was just paranoid about everything. It wouldn't be bad that Brian had a sister, but it's the fact that he was around for almost three years and he's never mentioned her. Or even showed a picture of her.

Something didn't seem right with Lily. Her and Brian seemed very different. Brian being more conservative; Lily being more of the rebel. She seemed sweet though.

"Mia, come with me to the store. We need to buy some groceries for the barbecue." Letty peeked in my room. I nodded and walked with her downstairs where everyone, with the exception of my guests and Sasha, Di, and Jesse, were watching television.

"Where's the three stooges?" I asked to noone in particular.

Diana was my favorite. I loved Sasha but Diana was just easier to hang out with. She loved shopping and girly things. I never really had that kind of relationship with Letty, although she had been my best friend since we were ten. I'm glad Di's here for another reason too. Jesse has been upset cause everyone else, except him and Le, have someone to love. And now that Di's here, I think that's changed. Also, I've noticed a change in Mr. Vincent Antonio Palmer. Him and Sasha seem to be getting really close. I'm glad he's decided to move on. This house is fully of lovebirds.

"They went to Sasha's house to get Tony. It seems that Jesse and Di have made it official. Glad he finally has someone..." Leon answered with hurt in his voice. Poor Le, I thought. He was so stuck on racer chasers and one night stands that he hasn't found the one for him yet.

"Oh. Well we are gonna get food for tonight. Guys, please shower and look nice. We have guests tonight." I smiled slyly at them. A roar of grunts and moans filled the room.

"Who?" Vince asked, chugging the rest of his Corona. I don't see how that beast could have Corona so early.

"Lily and Brian." I grabbed my purse and followed Letty out to her car.

Jesse's POV

Me, Diana, and Sasha all drove down in my Jetta to Sash's house to get her little brother Tony. Me and him were getting along great these past couple days. He calls me and tells me to drive him around in the Jetta. I do it, but only because he's cool as shit.

"Mama!" Sasha yelled as they walked through the door. I was always shy about walking into people's homes, so I stood on the porch.

"Jesse it's okay if you come in you know. My mom doesn't bite." Sasha assured me, pulling me inside.

"All the time." Diana added. Sasha shot her a 'shut up' look and closed the door behind me.

"Jesse! What's up man? When you gonna take me for a ride in the Jetta again?" Anthony screeched, hopping down the stairs and greeting me at the door.

"In a lil bit bro. We are going back to my place for a barbecue. Lot's of sweet cars, you in?" I bribed him.

"Hell yeah!" He cursed.

"Didn't I tell you to quit it, go get in the car." Sasha growled at him. "Jesse come meet my mother Maria." I reluctantly walked in the living room where Diana and Sasha had been. "Ma, this is Diana's boyfriend, Jesse." She introduced. I took off my beanie and nodded to the woman.

"So this is the famous Jesse I keep hearing about. Well it's nice to meet you sir." Maria replied, smiling at me. She turned to Sasha "Um you two be back by 10:30. I need you to watch him until I get back from my doctor's appointment."

"Alright Sasah we should get going." I interrupted, immediatly regretting it.

Sasha noticed the apologizing look on my face "It's okay Jesse. You're right though. Dom will kill us if we're late."

We walked back down to the car. Diana rode shotgun, Tony and Sasha in the back.

"So when you gonna let me drive this Jess?" Tony asked.

"Never." I replied slyly.

Vince's POV

I sat with Leon at the picnic table in the backyard, playing a game of poker. Dominic was steady yelling for us to set up the tables.

"Guys! I'm not gonna ask you again. Get the damn tables ready!" He bellowed at us in his bear-like tone.

"Alright alright Dominic. You know, I missed the days when you weren't so vicious." I said sarcastically, rubbing the back of Dom's neck. He smacked away my hand, smiling at me.

"Letty! Mia! Bring out those ribs already!" He yelled over his shoulder. The girls came carrying two trays of uncooked ribs on them. Man I loved Sundays.

I walked into the house and grabbed all the silverware and plates from the kitchen counter. When I reached into the fridge to grab the Corona's, I heard the Jetta pull up.

"There back" I smiled. Not because Tony was here, but because Sasha was.

I was starting for the side door when I felt another presence in the room.

"Need some help big guy?" Sasha asked from behind me. Immediatlely, a sly grin spread across my face. I sat the items down in my head and turned around.

There she was -- wearing a tight jeans (surprise) and a white wife beater. Her beautiful hair was flowing so amazing over her shoulders.

I ran up to her and pick her up by her thighs. She wrapped her legs around my waist. I walked over and sat her down on the counter. I stood between her legs, my arms still around her waist.

"You wanna help me?" I asked with a devilish grin curling on my face.

"Not anytime soon you big lug. You know someone's gonna catch us like this one day." She said, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Like what?" I asked, kissing her lips softly. She went to spoke but kissed me back instead. We stood there, kissing in each others arms, for what seemed like eternity. I heard Dominic calling me again, which broke us out of our trance.

"Grab the Coronas and let's go." I smiled, backing away and pulling her down from the counter.

We walked out of the house to find everyone sprawled out over the backyard. Jesse, Leon, and Tony were playing basketball; Dominic cooking the ribs on the grill; Letty flipping through a Racer's Edge magazine; and Mia was talking to ... Brian.

Shit, the Buster and his crazy sister's here, I thought.

"Now that everyone's here, I'd like you all to meet Lily. Lily, this is the team." Mia began.

Here it goes, I thought.

"Hello everyone. Nice to meet you." She replied.

Leon's POV

When Mia spoke, my head jerked directly towards Lily. Wow. She was amazing. She had on low-rider khaki pants and a black tank top. Her hair was tied in a ponytail. She was glowing.

"Leon, are you there? Earth to Le?" Mia said to me, waving one hand in front of my face. I came back to reality to find Mia and Lily standing in front of me.

"What Mi? Oh. Hi." was all I could get my brain to work up. Hi? Nice one Le, I said under my breath.

"Hi. I'm Lillian. You can call me Lily." She introduced herself.

"I'm Leon. You can call me Le. Or whatever you want." I replied, feeling dumbfounded. This girl compleletly blew my mind. She just continued smiling at me until Mia took her to introduce her to the others.

I ran over to V, who was obviously flirting with Sasha. Weird, I thought but shrugged it off.

"V! Dawg have you met Lily yet?" I asked him, pointing over to Lily was meeting Jesse.

"Definitely. But I'm not her type. Plus, I already got someone in mind. But that's all yours Le." Vince responded. Vince, having someone in mind? Oh I hope it's not who I think it is.

A/N: I hoped you liked that one! kinda boring but I never knew what to do with these things! Well I'll try to post another ASAP! REVIEW PLEASE!
