Chapter 10

I was only in the office for a few minutes before Dom walked in and closed the door behind him.

"I really don't need another lecture about my tempter right now," I remarked running a hand through my hair, "he left, didn't he?"

"Yeah," Dom nodded and I had to blink back a few tears that threatened to fall, "but I have to ask…what's this shit about you sleeping with Vince?"

"It's not like that I swear," I promised him; "I just don't like sleeping alone."

I would never admit that it started while Dom was in Lompoc for two years. Daddy had just died and my big brother was sent to jail, to say it was dark times would be putting it lightly. I let out an aggravated sigh as my mind wandered back to Leon leaving.

"You know him, Maddie, he already told her he would help, he'll be back as soon as he fixes the tire, you'll see," Dom told me as he went back into the garage he stopped and threw me a set of keys that I caught easily. I looked at him confused, waiting for him to explain, "Figured you would want to drive yourself home tonight."

The rest of the day went by quickly but Leon never came back to work, in fact we didn't see him again until after dinner was finished and we were all hanging out in the living room. Brian was trying, and failing, to beat Jesse at a racing game while Mia was cleaning the dishes. Dom and Letty were sitting on the couch together almost asleep in each other's arms from a long day at the garage. Vince was waiting to play the winner for the video game and I was messing around on his guitar. Not that I knew much just a few chords but it gave me something to do besides sit and wonder what had taken Leon so long.

"Move your ring finger down one string on the last chord and try it again," Vince instructed as I sat on the floor by his feet.

I did as he suggested and was pleasantly surprised how much better it sounded.

"Come on, you're cheating!" Brian exclaimed as Jesse neared the finish line.

"You just don't know how to race," Jesse teased causing all of us to laugh.

These were the nights I loved the most, all of us just hanging out and enjoying each other's company. But all good things come to an end as I heard the front door open.

"Yeo, V, that sounds good," Leon complimented walking into the living room not expecting me to be the one with the guitar.

"Wasn't me brother," Vince replied patting me on the shoulder.

"It's getting a little cold in here," Letty said looking between Leon and me as she got off of Dom's lap and pulled him towards the stairs, "come give me a massage."

Dom gave Leon a look that scream 'fix this' before he climbed the stairs. There was an uncomfortable silence as Leon took a seat on the couch and watched Jesse take on Vince.

"So," Jesse spoke up, "takes all day to change a tire, huh?"

"She wanted to thank me so she took me out for food…" Leon answered and I could tell he was trying to avoid making eye contact with me. It sounded like he was going to continue but was he was cut off.

"Yeah, cause that's all Dani wanted," Jesse scoffed, "Dude, she used to be the neighborhood slut and by the looks of things she hasn't changed much."

I could feel the anger building in me again just thinking about the two of them sleeping together and I set the guitar on the floor so I wouldn't break it.

"Mads, I think we should talk," Leon started.

"I'm kind of tired," I said getting up and heading towards the basement door, "night guys."

I gave Mia a small hug goodnight and made my way down the stairs. It wasn't a lie, I was exhausted and feeling really run down but there was also no way I wanted to hear about what he and Danielle did all day. I got changed into an oversized t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants before curling up under Vince's comforter. I fell into a restless sleep and kept tossing and turning until Vince came down a few hours later.

"You know I could kick his ass," Vince said when he noticed me still awake.

"I could kick his ass," I replied earning a small laugh since it was the truth as he stripped down to his boxers before sliding into the bed. I waited impatiently for him to get comfortable before cuddling up to the side of him, he put an arm around me and I feel asleep listening to his heart beat.

When I woke up the next morning I found I was in bed alone again and realized it wasn't morning at all and almost two in the afternoon. I pulled myself out of bed and made my way upstairs to see Mia cleaning the kitchen.

"Don't you ever get tired of being in here?" I questioned as I shuffled through the refrigerator for an energy drink.

"Letty tried to cook breakfast this morning," she explained as she continued to forcefully scrub a pan trying to get the burnt food off until she turned and looked at me with a frown on her face.

"What?" I asked sitting down at the table and resting my head in my hands.

"You don't look so good, you feel alright?" she worried coming over and putting a hand on my forehead.

"Yeah, I'm fine," I smiled but she stared me down waiting for a real answer, "just some cramps."

"You'll probably feel a little better after you talk to Le," she said as she went back to the scorched pan, "you really need to hear him out."

I nodded if nothing more than to let her know I was listening as Brian walked into the kitchen, stopping to look at me before walking over and kissing Mia.

"Isn't that supposed to be in your car?" he joked pointing to my Nos energy drink.

"Hey, if it gets my baby moving then it will get me moving too," I replied taking another long sip, "So, where is everyone?" I asked noticing the house was exceptionally quiet for a Sunday when both the garage and the café were closed.

"Dom took Letty left after breakfast, Vince and Jesse went to grab beer for a barbeque," Brian answered sitting down in the chair opposite of me, "and I was going to take Mia for a drive down the coast."

A took a deep breath before asking the question I wasn't sure if I wanted answered or not, "and Leon?"

"Was on the front porch," Brain replied and Mia turned around and gave me another look telling me to go talk to him.

I didn't want things to be over, I needed him in my life but the sting of him choosing her over me was still fresh in my mind so I sat there at the table and played with the tab on my can.

"Madison," Mia scolded like she was talking to a disobedient child, "get your ass out there and work this out."

"Fine," I huffed and pointed a finger at Brian, "but if Malibu Barbie is out there, I'm going to kill her."

"Noted," Brian nodded.

I took one last sip out of the can and threw it in the garbage before walking out onto the front porch. There he was sitting on the porch swing looking like a lost puppy, a very sexy lost puppy.

"Hey," he greeted as I closed the front door.

"Hey," I half smiled not knowing what to say. He moved over on the swing and motioned for me to sit next to him but I walked over and sat on the steps instead.

"Mads, I wanted to say I'm sorry," he started as he leaned forward his elbows resting on his knees, "you were right, she wanted more than for me to change her tire."

"I don't need to hear this," I shook my head and again I had to bite back the tears. I already felt like crap physically and listening to his 'activities' from yesterday wasn't helping.

"Hey guys," Brian walked out the front door with Mia trailing behind him, "we're going to head out."

"Be nice," Mia whispered in my ear before heading down the front steps.

We sat in quiet for a few minutes as they got in Brian's car and drove away. The second the car was out of sight I turned my attention back to Leon, "I just want to know why? I want to know why you picked her."

"It wasn't like that at all," he defended getting up from where he was and taking a seat next to me, "I swear I thought she understood we were just friends and the second she tried to kiss me last night I left. I'm so sorry, Mads," he apologized wrapping an arm around my shoulders and leaned into him letting all the tension in my body just melt away, "so, does this mean you'll be back in our bed tonight?"

"Oh yeah," I nodded, "Vince snores."

He laughed and kissed me on top of the head, "could you maybe not throw tools at me in the future?"

"As long as there are no more Danielle's I won't have to," I answered seriously as Vince and Jesse pulled into the driveway.

"Did hell freeze over?" Jesse asked as he carried a paper bag up the front walkway.

"This means you two are good right?" Vince questioned walking up with two cases of beer and we both just smiled, "thank God, cause your girl snores like a trucker," Vince commented as he walked past us and into the house.

"I do not!" I exclaimed as Leon and I followed them into the house, "You wake yourself up!"

"Coyotes don't snore," he stated as he put the beer in the refrigerator and Jesse unloaded the bag of junk food he bought and then wandered out the backdoor.

"Bullshit," I argued sitting down on the same chair I had been in earlier, my cramps getting increasingly more painful.

"Le, go help Jesse with the grill before he blows himself up," Vince mentioned watching Jesse out the window. Leon laughed and kissed the top of my head before walking outside. Vince rummaged through the bag, "shit, I left the limes in the car."

"I'll go get them," I offered standing up from the chair. I only took two steps before doubling over in immense pain and letting out a strangled cry.

"Mads?" Vince questioned hurrying to my side but I was in so much pain that I all I could do was sob, "come on, kid, talk to me," he pleaded with worry plastered across his normally hard features.

"Something's wrong," I cried curling myself into a ball.
