Author's Note: So in the last author's note I stated that my character will be portrayed by Tsianina Joelson. After thinking more about it, I decided to have her portrayed by Kelly Brook since she looks a little more like both of them and I couldn't really see Vince and Tsianina Joelson together. I'll be changing the story cover soon to a picture of her for a quick reference.

As Nicole was drying the last dish, she heard footsteps enter the kitchen. It was too heavy to be Letty's and Mia had just gone upstairs. She knew it must have been either Dom, Vince or Leon. "What did you guys run out of popcorn?" She asked without turning around, a hint of laughter in her voice.

The man laughed. "We always seem to."

Nicole turned around at the sound of the voice. It was one she liked to hear. Vince.

She put the dry bowl in the cupboard, putting the dish cloth back on the counter top, and made her way closer to Vince. "I had to buy some earlier. I'll grab it for you," she told him, as she passed him to get the new box right behind him. She quickly opened it up and handed him a bag for him to put in the microwave.

Vince turned around, leaning against the small table that held the microwave. "Guess I might as well wait in here for it."

"I don't mind bringing it in when it's ready. Go watch the movie."

Once Vince left the kitchen, she was by herself again, waiting for the microwave to beep. Nicole had liked Vince as more than just a friend for a few years now, ever since she was seventeen. Despite how she felt about him, she never asked him out. Afterall, she knew he wasn't interested in her so she wasn't sure why she would even bother. He liked Mia ever since she could remember.

It was why Nicole spent as much time with Vince as she did. It was why she spent so much time with the team. Because he was always there. Sure she saw them all as family but she had her own life and friends she enjoyed spending time with. If it wasn't for Vince, she probably wouldn't spend as much time as she did at home and going to the races.

Beep Beep

The beeping of the microwave shook her out of her thoughts. She took the bag out of the kitchen appliance and made her way into the living room, shutting the light before she did so.

She quickly glanced over who was sitting where, looking for Vince. Dom and Letty were curled up together on the small chair, Jesse and Leon were on the floor in front of the couch, while Vince was on the couch behind them. "What are you guys doing on the floor? There's a couch right behind you." In return, all she got was a 'shhh' from both men on the floor. She shook her head, as she walked in front of them and placed herself on the couch next to Vince.

Carefully opening the hot bag, she poured the contents into the bowl Vince had and then she placed the empty bag on the seat beside her. "Hope you don't mind sharing." She told him as she reached her hand to grab some of the popcorn.

"Not at all."

As Vince went back to watching the movie that was on the screen in front of them, Nicole looked towards her brother and Letty. She wished she had that with Vince, hell with anyone, but moreso with Vince. She couldn't help thinking maybe she should just tell him she liked him and go from there. At least she would know, hopefully even get him to see her in a different light.

She settled down to watch the movie, letting her mind relax from her previous thoughts.

"Thanks. You guys have a nice day," Nicole told the couple that just finished their lunch. Once she grabbed the tip they had left on the counter, she turned back around to face Mia. "So where was I?"

Mia, who was currently working on her schoolwork, responded with looking up. "I don't know. I think you just finished actually."

Nicole thought for a few seconds. "Nope, I did not finish. You just want to me to quit talking about it. Well him, I guess."

"I have some schoolwork to do, something you should be doing?" She answered as she turned the page, looking for an answer to her current problem.

Looking at her watch and then towards the front entrance, she opened her mouth to speak once again. "It's almost one thirty. Shouldn't he be here by now?"

Her older sister shrugged. "Maybe he went somewhere else today."

Nikki laughed. "Ha, sure he did. He's been coming here every single day for the past three weeks. Now I don't like tuna at all so I will never, ever, touch the stuff but from what I hear it doesn't seem to be that good. He's the only the guy who ever orders it."

Mia looked up from her books, turning slightly to look at her sister. "Can I please just finish my work in silence? Please? I have a lot to do before tomorrow."

Nicole put her hands up in surrender. "Fine. I'll be quiet."

Twenty minutes later, Nicole happened to glance outside to see a Ford F150 pull up into a spot across the street. She quickly looked at Mia. "Look it's your boyfriend."

She proceeded to laugh as Mia stopped what she claimed was important a mere twenty minutes ago.

"I thought you were busy?" Nikki asked her, low enough so the blonde eyed man wouldn't hear as he approached them.

The man took one of the empty seats closer to the girls, glancing at both of them. "Hey."

Nicole stayed where she was, her back against the counter, leaning backwards. "I thought you weren't coming today," she started. "It's past your normal time."

He laughed slightly. "You keep track of when I get here?"

Mia went back to her schoolwork, as her sister kept talking to him. "Once you're here so many days, you become a regular around here. It's kinda of hard to forget, especially when you come so often as yourself." Nikki moved out from behind the counter, making her way to one of the seats on his right. "I'm going to take my break now though so I guess it's all on Mia."

Mia smirked, knowing what her sister was doing. "Thanks Nic."

"Tuna on white, no crust, right?" Mia asked without looking up from her books.

Nikki watched as Brian flipped a page in his magazine while answering. "I don't know. How is it?" He asked, sounding slightly disinterested.

"Everyday for the last three weeks, you've been coming in here and asking me how the tuna is. Now it was crappy yesterday, it was crappy the day before," Mia explained to him, this time turning her head to face him since he set foot in the cafe. "Guess what, it hasn't changed."

"I'll have the tuna."

"No crust."

"No crust," said Brian confirming Mia's guess.

Nikki watched as Mia turned to make a quick sandwich for their customer. Glancing over at Brian, she noticed he was looking towards the back. Knowing what he was looking at, she turned to look anyway following his gaze to where her brother was. Both stared at each other for a few seconds before Dom sat back in his seat, his back facing them.

Within a few seconds, Mia had his plate in front of him, hearing a thank you from the man.

Nikki heard the sound of cars heading in their direction which could only mean one thing. The team was getting closer. Everyday they would work at the garage and come to the cafe for their lunch.

After hearing the sound of car doors shut, she turned around to see the four cars and the owners gathered around Vince's car, the hood of his Nissan up. She couldn't hear a word they were saying but she knew it had to be something about his car. Not too long after that, she could see Vince straighten up and turn towards the Ford truck, pointing at it. With that, he turned back around to face the cafe. Mia and Brian, to be specific, before they all made their way towards them.

They all said their hellos, grabbing whatever drinks and food they wanted. Leon and Jesse grabbed a bag of chips and started playing around with the sunglasses. Vince sat down on one of the empty seats between her and Brian, sliding the sugar bowl container towards him before doing so.

He didn't say anything, just kept staring. It took Mia a few times saying his name, once shouting, before he paid attention to her.

"What?"

"Can I get you anything?" She asked him, hoping to distract him.

Nikki watched as Vince just looked Mia up and down, "You look good."

She rolled her eyes, mumbling to herself. "Somebody pass me a beer."

Brian got up telling the girls that he'd see them tomorrow.

"Tomorrow?" She heard Vince say to himself. He quickly got out of his seat. "Yo," he called after Brian. "Try Fatburger from now on. You get yourself a double cheese and fries for 2.95 faggot."

She couldn't hear his response but she knew it wasn't a good answer for Vince as she watched him shove the guy into his truck, a fight soon ensuing.

"Jesus Christ Dom. Would you get out there? I'm sick of this shit." She looked towards Mia, who was currently trying to get their brother to stop the fight that happened every day for the past couple weeks. After a few remarks about what she put in the sandwich and Letty helping Mia, Dom went out to break up the fight.

Nikki didn't bother going outside to see what they were saying. She could hear some yelling but not much. Getting out of her seat, she went to the fridge and grabbed herself a Corona, opening the bottle and taking a sip.

Mia looked back at her. "Should you be drinking now?"

Nikki just shrugged. No one on the team knew she liked Vince, not even her sister.

After a few minutes, the team came back into the cafe. Vince looked mad while everyone just looked at each other.

"Eat and get back to work." Dom had told them before going back into the office to finish his lunch.

A/N: Hope you liked this chapter, please review. I love getting them. Next up will be the races and possibly party afterwards.
