*My POV* 

Brian was in the red truck, as we all drove around him to make sure the parts he was carrying didn't fall off. Kayson was in my car with me, with his hand on my thigh, which I didn't mind at all.

*3rd POV*

When they got back, they unloaded all the parts. "Tell me what you think about this. KONI adjustable. Gonna save us about two pounds. And they're gonna give us better traction for the hole shot. All right?" Jesse said as he was smoking.

Kayson and Brian were learning. "This is your basic layout of the car, and that's pretty much what it could look like when it's finished. Red, green." Jesse explained to them. "Man, you should be goin' to M.I.T or somethin'." Kayson and Brian said, really impressed with him.

"Yeah, right. No, I got that-- Oh, what's it called? That attention disorder--" Jesse said. "Oh, A.D.D?" Brian asked. "Yes, that shit. Yeah. You know, I was good in algebra...and like, math and shit. Everything else I failed. Dropped out of school. I don't know. It's just somethin' about engines...that, that calms me down, you know?" Jesse explained. Brian and Kayson looked at the young one with care, and understanding. 

*My POV*

We heard the cars pulling into the driveway, we're lucky our driveway is this big. I looked over at RaeLynn who was playing with Kayson and smiled. Vince saw Brian and Kayson and handed Leon the bag he was holding.

"I'm outta here." Vince said. "Come on, dog. Yo, Dom." Leon said as Vince walked away." Vince, get over here and give us a hand." Dom said. "Looks like you got all the help you need, brother." Vince said. 

"Vince, stop being an asshole!" I yelled and he flipped me off. Dom was annoyed and walked off. Vince left leaving tire tracks on the ground. "Mia! Izzy!" Dom called out from outside. "All right, already." Mia and I said as we walked back outside with Jesse, Brian, and Kayson following.

"The chicken's dry already." Dom said. "We're comin' out already." I said as we walked towards him. "Aw." Dom said as he hugged both of us. "Here you go." Mia said as she handed him what he needed.

By the time we were done cooking, we were sitting together. Jesse reached for some chicken first. "Wait. Hold up." Dom said. "Because you were the first out of everyone here... to reach in to get the chicken, you say grace." I said.

Brian and Kayson were listening, learning. We all held our hands together and closed our eyes. "Come on. Dear heavenly, uh--" Jesse said. "Spirit." Leon helped. "Spirit. Thank you. Uh, thank you for providing us with a direct port...nitrous, uh, injection, four-core intercoolers and ball-bearing turbos, and, um, titanium valve springs. Thank you." Jesse said as he finished.

I noticed Mia and Brian looking at each other from across the table and I shook my head smiling. "Amen." Leon said as we clapped for Jesse. "Not bad." Dom said. "He was prayin' to the car gods, man." Letty said, causing Mia to laugh. 

We all began getting our food. "If he's not the best--" Dom said but we were all talking at once. "What do you want?" Mia asked. "Practice." Jesse said. "Thank you, Mom." RaeLynn said as I helped her. I noticed Vince walking to us.

"Look who it is. Old Coyotes 'R' Us. I thought you weren't hungry, pumpkin." Leon said and Brian looked at Vince a little annoyed. Kayson didn't pay attention to Vince as he helped RaeLynn for a moment. 

"You know, I gotta eat." Vince said. "He's always hungry." Letty and I said eyeing Vince. We've both have been tired of his behavior lately. "All right, sit down." Dom said and Vince walked over to the only empty chair. 

Vince kissed Dom's head, causing Dom to eye Brian. I nudged Dom with my foot, and he looked at me. "Give him a break." I whispered and Dom nodded a little. "How you doin', Mia? Izzy?" Vince asked us but we just watched him. 

"Here you go, dog." Leon said handing a beer to Vince. Vince and Brian stared at each other. Letty patted Vince's back. "Hey, Jesse, hand me that chicken, bro." Vince said. "Let's eat some grub, man." Letty said.

"Want some of that chicken?" I asked. "What, you rent a movie or somethin'?" Kayson and Brian asked. Later, Mia and I were in the kitchen doing the dishes. Brian and Kayson came in holding more dishes. 

"You two need a hand with anything else?" Kayson asked. "No, we're good. You can go join the boys watchin' the movie." I told them as Mia, and I kept washing. "No, you see, the cooks don't clean where we come from." Brian said.

"Yeah? We'd like to go there." Mia said as we washed dishes with them. "I think we should go out sometime." Brian said getting straight to the point. "No, we don't date our brother's friends." Mia said, I kept myself from smiling.

Kayson kept himself from smiling as well. "Wow. That sucks. I guess I'll have to kick his ass then." Brian said, causing me to laugh. "I'd love to see that one." I said. "No, I would-- I would pay to see that one, actually." Mia said smiling.

I heard one of them get up and walking towards us. Vince came into the kitchen to see the four of us doing dishes. "Wash my car when you get done." Vince said, causing me to get pissed. "What was that?" I asked angrily. 

"No, Izzy, I'm talkin' to the punks. And wear your favorite dress, 'cause when you're done, I'm puttin' you on the street where you belong, cutie." Vince said, and Brian and Kayson leaned against the counter, as Mia and I were now pissed.

The microwaved beeped. "Baby, it's not worth it." Kayson whispered lowly to me, and I sighed. "Is this thing broken? What's wrong with this thing?" Vince asked. "V?" Mia and I asked turning around. 

"V, what was-- what was that Cuban restaurant you wanted to take me and Izzy to?" Mia asked. "The one with the picadillo and the--" I said. "Little-- Little red candles and the wooden table?" Vince asked with a smile.

"Yeah, the plantain too. Food all over the place. What was it called?" Mia asked. "Cha, Cha, Cha." Vince told us. "Yeah, that's it." I said. "Yeah." Vince said with a hopeful smile. "Well, you can take us there." Mia and I said facing Brian and Kayson. 

They both had big grins. "Friday night at 10:00. Is that good for you?" I asked. "Yeah, it's perfect." Kayson said smiling. "Good." Mia said as we were ignoring Vince who stood a few feet from us. Brian and Kayson looked at Vince with blank looks.

Vince hit the doorframe. "There's no popcorn?" Jesse asked confused. "Make your own goddamn popcorn!" Vince yelled, causing RaeLynn to flinch. Dom gently rubbed RaeLynn's back to keep his niece calm.
