Recap: My, he was a cocky little bitch. Sliding into her seat she started her car and swung it around catching up with Leon just as he was crossing the lawn. "Leon?" she called. He turned to her, eyebrow raised sarcastically, "This is your prize," Shorty said and flipped him the bird, winked and raced away laughing.

Chapter Six

A few days later...

"What you wanna do tonight?" Vince mumbled as he flipped slowly through a playboy magazine, turning it sideways to get a better view of the goods.

"I don't know," yawned Shorty and she continued staring at the ceiling above Vince's bed. She had collapsed there over an hour ago and had not moved a muscle since. What was the use anyways? It was a Thursday night and nothing they had previously thought of doing was all that appealing. Maybe they could watch a movie or go mini golfing. Mini golf could be fun. Maybe she could even get Vince drunk and then take him. She could see him stumbling around drunk, grunting at children and elderly alike in impatience.

Thrusting the playboy in Shorty's face Vince pointed to a busty blonde. "Shit, check those out!"

"They're fake V," she said as she looked at the woman's breasts before pushing the magazine away.

"So? That don't mean they aren't fun to play with."

Thursday nights definitely sucked. Normally Hector had a few people over, but tonight the team had decided to go out. Why had she not gone with them? Why was she analyzing the ceiling while Vince fantasized over nudie mags? Rolling her eyes inwardly and sighing she figured she could always hook up with her crew later if she and Vince could not decide on anything good. Sitting up she shoved him gently, "I'm gonna get a beer. You want?"

"Uh-huh," he grunted in her general direction and picked up a new magazine. Such a manly grunt. How thoughtful of him.

Opening the door she could hear music from both Leon and Jesse's rooms. However, the two of them seemed to be in Leon's room, where she could make out Jesse's excited voice. Not one for eavesdropping she climbed the stairs slowly, trying to waste as much time as possible. Thinking of something, anything, to do was turning out harder than she had ever thought possible. Emerging in the kitchen she saw Dom sitting at the table bent over the books containing the garage's profits for the month. "Hey," Shorty said and grabbed two Corona's from the fridge.

"Hi," Dom muttered.

Shaking her head she walked past him and stopped at the top of the stairs. "Later."

"Bye."

Two words. He had spoken only two words to her. Oh, the joyous moment. What was his problem anyways? He had seemed to accept her well and dare say even liked her, when they had met at the races last Saturday. But now she had to practically force a word out of him, and the rest of the time he was glaring at her suspiciously. Hector had explained to her the "Buster" situation and that Dom found it even harder to trust people now. However, did he think she was gonna pull a gun from her back and start shooting his teammates?

Closing the door behind her she sluggishly descended the stairs, watching her feet. Left, right, left, right, left, right. Maybe that was what she could do tonight. After all, watching her moving feet was definitely more action packed than staring at the unmoving ceiling. Or they could always smoke a joint and then watch the ceiling, it'd be moving then. But bumping into a warm solid body snapped her out of her thoughts of ceiling gazing and feet watching.

Confronting the wall in front of her she was met by both Jesse and Leon, looking up at her as if she were nuts. Had she been talking out loud about her feet or what? Backing up quickly she contemplated the two companions blocking her path. They were freshly showered, hair done, clothes clean, and smelling of delicious cologne. Cocking her head to the side she looked them up and down and whistled. Jesse was clad in faded blue jeans, a black wife beater and black boots. Leon was dressed in dark baggy jeans, a light green plaid button down shirt with a white wife beater beneath showing off his tanned chest. Oh yeah. These two were going out to get laid. "Lookin' good boys. What's the occasion? You got a hot date?" Shorty wiggled her eyebrows at them playfully.

"We're going out." That was so sweet. Jesse had no desire to tell her where they were going. It was pretty damn obvious they were going out. Why would they shower, do their hair, and get dressed up just to hang around the house and watch the ceiling with her and Vince?

"I see that Jess. But, where are you going?"

"Somewhere with a dress code, and you can't wear that," Jesse said and he looked her up and down.

"Have fun," Shorty laughed and squeezed past them in the small stairwell. Catching a whiff of their cologne she figured they would definitely get some ass tonight. Who could resist a clean man that smelled so good? Maybe she would even be around tomorrow morning when the girls got the kick to the curb. Just another 'fuck and chuck'. As rude as it may have seemed, it was too funny watching Jesse and Leon get rid of women they brought home. She had known them for less than a week and already she had seen three women with Leon and two with Jesse. Players at heart. She silently hoped that the tables were never turned on them.

Opening Vince's door, Shorty turned to wave goodbye to the them but stopped as Jesse's words finally sunk in. "Huh?"

"They ain't gonna let you in dressed like that," Jesse repeated.

"Huh?"

"Euphoria Nightclub. Dress code. V told you," Jesse stated calmly, slowly willing her to catch the hint.

Comprehension was vacant from her face. "What are you going on about?" Shorty asked.

"We're gonna go chill at Euphoria. V was supposed to tell you," Leon laughed as she gawked at the two of them. Vince was supposed to tell her? Well, why the hell had he not told her then?

Looking at Vince reclining on his bed she caught a flash of guilty eyes before they disappeared behind the magazine again. Hiding was definitely not going to work on her. Turning to the two men she winked before holding her finger up as if to say just a second. She stepped into Vince's room and shut the door behind her.

A few shouts later, she rushed out of room and pushed through Jesse and Leon and sprinted up the stairs giggling madly. "I'll meet you there!"

Almost immediately Vince cane running from his room, pushing both men out of his way roughly and followed the path Shorty had just taken. His face was red, and if possible they could have sworn there was steam coming from his eyes. Whatever Shorty had done had obviously pissed him off.

Worried that they were going to miss the show they shot up the stairs after Vince. He was storming through the living room, leaving the rest of the household members wondering what had happened as well. First Shorty had sprinted out of the house her face alight with mischief, and now Vince was hauling ass after her. Both Letty and Mia sat on the couch cross-legged, but joined the parade when it passed. "What she do?" Letty laughed when she fell in beside Leon.

"No clue. She just came runnin' out. Said she'd meet us at the club," Leon laughed as he stepped onto the porch in time to see Vince grab Shorty around the waist and haul her out of her car screaming.

She was kicking and struggling to get away from him as he pulled her towards the lawn. Throwing her down he fell on top of her and the show began. Her struggles became a wild dance of tangled limbs as Vince's fingers dug into her stomach, tickling her until she was wheezing with laughter. The team stepped off the porch closer to the action and each claimed a piece of grass where they could watch the entertainment. Her eyes were dripping with tears and she was gasping for breath, begging him to stop.

"Ple... please... V... st... V...plea... I'm... V... please... shi... STOP! I'm gonna pee myself!"

His hands stopped instantly but remained where they were, his body straddling hers. "Never do that again," he grinned down at her. As much as he hated what she had done he had to admit it was funny. No one else would ever have tried that with him. Kissing her on the sweaty forehead he stood up and brushed his jeans off. Now he needed to get changed for the club. "You all ready yet?"

Standing up themselves they nodded and laughed as Shorty took a shaky breath and stood. Her knees wobbled uncertainly as she tried to steady her breath. "What you do?" Leon questioned smiling.

"Well, I..." but she trailed off when Vince threw a warning look at her. Still unable to stand without shaking she decided that she should wait before she let them in on her actions. She shrugged at Leon and walked back to her car. Leaning against it she looked over the yard. Dom was standing in the doorway grinning. So, maybe he held vague dislike for instead of hate like she had thought. Deciding not to push her luck she pretended she had not noticed him smiling. Letty and Mia were climbing the stairs to the house and she called "Yo Mia! Letty! You girls ready?"

Both women faced her and Letty nodded. "Yup. Why?"

"Come hang at my pad. I need to change. Jesse doesn't approve of my current outfit. We'll catch a ride with Beto," she winked at Jesse. "So?"

Mia and Letty quickly discussed it amongst themselves before Mia ran into the house. "She's just grabbin' her purse," Letty replied. Shorty nodded and waited for Mia to return to the porch. As she emerged she kissed Dom on the cheek and walked towards Shorty's car, hopping in the backseat. Letty kissed Dom and the men groaned at the display of affection. "Get a room," was muttered from Leon.

When they broke apart, Shorty caught Letty's eyes and motioned towards Vince. While he was talking with Jesse she mimed what to do. Leaning into the car Shorty winked at Mia and whispered excitedly "Enjoy the show!"

Letty walked down the porch steps touching fists with Leon, Vince, and then Jesse. "We'll meet you there," she grinned. The next moment Vince had turned away and she grabbed hold of his boxers and yanked as hard as she could. He howled in pain again as Shorty almost collapsed in laughter. Streaking across the lawn Letty jumped into the car and slammed the door as Shorty smirked obnoxiously at Vince. Dom was laughing as Vince swore up a storm, unplugging his ass and promising revenge on both Letty and Shorty. Leon and Jesse held each other up as they laughed at Vince's expense. Kissing the air before she wiggled her fingers at Vince she slid in her car and drove away.
