Don't shoot me yet. I've been trying to get this chapter up for the past two days after a way too long writers block. I'm going to get Story of our Lives up as soon as I can. :)
"Lanie! You got two men at the front desk asking for you. I knew you were a whore." The owner, Brooke yelled out through the garage.
"Can't match you though, Brookie baby." She replied sarcastically as she rolled out from under a Dodge Neon that she was attaching a light kit.
"You like your job?" She asked in a menacing way.
"Not really." Lanie replied walking away.
"Then get the hell out of my shop." Brooke yelled.
"Thank god!" Lanie yelled before grabbing her stuff. "Let's go."
"Hey. Why don't you come work at DT's with us?" Leon asked loud enough for Brooke to hear.
"She's got a bitch of an attitude, Leon." Brooke said coming over to them.
"That's my sister for ya." Leon said making her jaw drop in surprise.
"Hey baby." Vince said giving Lanie a kiss.
"Come on. Let's go talk with Dom." Leon said with a satisfied smirk as he lead them out of the shop.
"How do you know her?" Lanie asked.
"We dated a long time ago. She hates that I'm with Charlize. She was one of those not really girlfriends but more like good lays." Leon said with a shrug before getting in his Skyline as Lanie and Vince got in her truck.
"Interesting." She laughed. "Thank god I didn't take my tools there."
"I was serious about working at DT. You'd be a good addition." Leon said looking at her as they got out of the cars in front of the diner.
"Yea. You could be my assistant. I'll be your master." Vince said.
"Oh you'd love that wouldn't you?" Lanie said with a laugh.
"You would to." He whispered in her ear as he pulled her closer to them.
"I'll never tell." She said with a smile. "Hey guys and girls."
"Hey Dom. How bout Lanie work at the shop? Brooke Auckland fired her a couple minutes ago." Leon said leaning on the doorway to Dom's diner "office".
"Why the hell was she working there?" He asked knowing Brooke and how bad she ran things.
"Hobby? Liked pissing Brooke off? I don't know but I've asked a few people who have said that they've gotten body work done by her. They say she's done a better job then anyone else they've seen."
"We'll give her a test run and see how well she does." He said before they walked up to the front where everyone was holding their stomachs laughing. "What's going on?"
"Nothing." Lanie said trying to get a straight face but failed.
"Lanie! You didn't?" Leon asked knowing what his sister told the rest.
"It slipped out." She said innocently.
"What are you two talking about?" Dom asked looking from brother to sister.
"She told them about the time when I was 5 and I peed in my pants during kindergarten. That is not cool, Lanie. Not cool at all."
"But damned if it ain't funny." She said laughing.
"Now you can forget about that job at DT's." He said pouting.
"Bro. You for got that I have another job. Remember the whole Psychology thing?"
"Damn. Always got to have fucking back ups."
"It's okay, Le. I still love ya." Lanie said hugging him.
"Aww…wait." Leon said looking at her confused. The team just chuckled.
"So where did you and Vince meet?" Charlize asked Lanie.
"Strip club." They both said as Lanie sat on Vince's lap.
"Yea. I work another job I haven't told you yet bro." Lanie said serious.
"My sister is not a stripper!" He yelled jumping up.
"Gotcha." She said laughing.
"Seriously though we met at a bar. One of my friends is dating one of her friends." Vince said with a shrug.
"Have we met these friends?" Dom asked.
"Here we go." Charlize said rolling her eyes.
"Nope."
"Will we ever?" Letty asked joining in.
"Probably not."
"Why not?" Dom asked.
"Cause I don't want you guys to. What? Can't have private friends outside of the team now?" Vince asked getting irritated.
"How bout we get back to work?" Leon asked heading towards his car.
"I'm coming with. So is Vince." Lanie said pulling Vince towards the truck and away from the stare off with Dom.
"I knew they would pull something like that." He sad staring out the window.
"Stop thinking about them. You don't have to check all your friends past them. Just do what you always do." She said parking next to Leon.
"You wanna help me finish up this Audi?" Vince asked putting his arm around her and pulling her close.
"Sure. I'll tell you what you're doing wrong." She said as they walked past Leon who just laughed with a smile on his face. By the time they finished they found themselves alone in the shop.
"I didn't hear them leave." Vince said locking up as she sat on the hood of his car.
"Probably thought we were naked and all that good stuff back there." She said with a smirk.
"Now that is a good idea." He said moving between her legs. "I am going to see you tonight, right?"
"Yea. Me and Sierra should be up there around 8. Her boyfriend is playing." She said as she ran her thumb over the top of his dragon tattoo.
"Dita says her a Sean should be up there. He better treat her good or I'm going to run him over with a 4x4." He said making her laugh.
"I'll make sure he does but I don't think you have anything to worry about. Sean's one of those stand up kind of guys. Now enough about them."
"Yea what about us?"
"I say we go home change and go out and have a good time with some friends. After that we play it by ear."
"So a stop at Walgreen's and a bag of clothes for tomorrow?" He said giving her a kiss.
"Yea pretty much." She said kissing back. They just kissed for what felt like forever before they heard a honking horn.
"Nice Vince!" Beto, from Hector's team, yelled out as him and some others drove by.
"Asshole." Vince said grumpy that he had to stop kissing Lanie.
"Come on. I need to get home and change." She said pushing him with a laugh as she got off the hood.
"8. You better be there." He said before they both took off.
"I still want to talk to you, Vince." Dom said once he walked in the front door.
"What about? That I have friends outside the team?" He asked not in the mood to fight.
"Why don't you want them to meet us?" Dom asked.
"Because I don't want them to get sucked into this shit we do. With the racing and all. I just want some people to talk to about shit other then mods for the Max. Okay? Happy now?" Vince said before walking to his room and throwing some clothes and stuff into a bag.
"Where you going?" Charlize asked sitting on Vince's bed.
"Getting some shit together so if I stay out all night I don't have to come back here to change." He said grabbing some stuff out of the bathroom.
"Staying at Lanie's?" She asked with a smirk.
"Maybe. Problem?" He said with a laugh.
"Nope. I'm happy for you." She said giving him a hug before leaving to find Leon.
