Shyla's Pov

I was backed against the counter with my fists curled, and ready to strikeout when Mia came walking in.

"Hey Lil scientist, I just got through with my test so I'd thought I'd come.. Keep you company," She said her words slowing towards the end as she took in what was going on "What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked making me jump at the unexpected out burst. "Don't you even fucking touch her Brian!" She said rushing up to give his chest a hard shove that sent him stumbling back. "Mia?" He asked seeming just as surprised to her the words coming from her as I was. "What Brian, after what you did, you don't even have the write to say my name." "But, but I thought you loved me." "That's funny, cause I used too think the same about you, till I found out every single word out of your mouth was a lie." "You know him," I whispered more to my self. "Yea, I used to think I knew him," She said the rest of what she was going to say cut off by the roar of engines as the team pulled up. "I'd say you have about thee seconds before the boys annihilate your ass," Mia said unsympathetically before walking around the counter to make sure I was ok. "What happened?" "He's been coming here for a while, every day , a tuna no crust on white, but he seemed harmless, just talked a lot about cars. I pegged him a wanna be racer, you know the type." "Go on." "So, today I mentioned Jesse, and he knew he was the mad scientist, and I freaked, went to call Dom, and he went mental." "Did he touch you?" "His ass is still standing isn't it?" I said raising an eyebrow. They needed to realize I could take care of myself.

We both looked up to watch the boys come scrambling in one on top of he other. "You ok baby?" Jesse asked as he squeezed in the door the same time as Dom.

"Yea, I'm fine," I said shivering as I watched Doms' eyes glaze over with an murderous look I had never seen. "I think you know you're not welcome here," He growled, V, and Leon at his back as he steppes towards the smaller man. "I just wanted to talk to Mia,' He said refusing to back down. "Who is this fool?" I asked turning to Jesse who was now at my side. "That's a long story," He said locking eyes with Mia. "What the hell is going on here?" I asked only to be interrupted by the sound of a body hitting the front counter.

"Well my sister is no longer interested in you," Dom said his face mere inches from the now pale Brian's. "She didn't tell me that." "Well I'm telling you know," Mia said storming over. "I have a real man now, the one I should have been with from the start," She said kissing a Vince who as usual melted in her hands. I could hear Letty's chuckle in the background, and again I wondered just who Brian really was.

I could only laugh my self as V's vicious face melted at her sincere words. "What!" Brian exclaimed, face reddening as he realized just who Mia was with. "So now she's told you, so you can be on your way," Leon added as Dom tossed him off the counter towards the door. "Mia, you can't really mean this, you're just upset." "Bye Brian," She said not even bothering to look up as the door open, and closed. "So you should have been with me all along huh?" Vince asked grinning as she rolled here eyes.

"Umm excuse me, but I think you all owe me a story!" I called bringing all their attention my way.

"Let's go in the office," Dom said sighing heavily as he led me to the back by my arm.

We emerged from the office about an hour later, and for once I felt like I really was a part of the team.

"Are you mad?" Jesse asked eyeing me carefully. "No, I'm' not mad," I said smiling at how good he was getting at reading me.

*** Jesse's POV I studied Shyla at dinner that night, and once again I had to remind myself that she was just seventeen. With the body of a 21 year old and the soul of someone much older it was so easy to forget. Our relationship was going well; in fact it was going a little to well. I was ready for things to progress more, and I want' sure what she wanted.

"Hey babe, you want to go for some ice cream?" I asked as we all took our plates in to be washed. "Sure, what's on your mind?" She asked sensing there was more to it. My little scientist, you could never get anything past her. "I'll tell you in the car," I said taking her hands after yelling that we would be back soon.

** The minute we were out of the drive way I was all over Jesse like a cheap suit. Scooting my way across the seat. Gently blowing in his ear I was pleased as he shivered.

"I've been wanting to do this for so long," I purred gently nibbling on the bottom of his ear lobe. "Shyla?" He asked almost like he was afraid aliens had taken over my body. "I love your friends Jess, but sometimes I just wish there was more me, and you alone time. "I had no ideal you felt this way," He said, voice breathy "But I do," I said giggling as he pulled the car over to a nice dark parking lot.

The car was suddenly silent as he put on the emergency brake pulling me over to sit on his lap. Starring in to his eyes I watched his expression grow heated as I unbuttoned his plaid, and slipped my hands inside to wrap around his back as I scooted closer. My breathe caught in my throat as he gripped my hips gently, grinding his hips against me. An excited thrill ran through my body and the rest was a blur of steamed windows, and long languorous kisses. We finally separated when a pair of head lights swept the car flooding it with light.

" I love you Gabby," he said making me smile as he started the car. "I love you to baby, can we get that ice cream now?" Laughing he turned to me as he pulled out. "Right now I'd get you anything you wanted." "Well."

"Where the hell did you go to get that ice cream, San Francisco?" Vince asked as we walked in.

We exchanged a look before bursting in to laughter and running up the stairs like small children. Tumbling in to the bed we tangled our limbs together, just enjoying the down time.
