I yawned sliding out of bed before tripping over a body. Now on the floor, Brian shot up and said while locating me, "You okay, baby?"

"Damn girl, watch where you be tripping," Rome yelled

I then got off of him and said "He's getting his own damn cot with his rude ass."

"You're the rude one. You woke me up and kicked me in the side!" Rome shot back

"See I hate people that over exaggerate shit..." I said before kicking him in the side, not with full power but so he could feel it and continued as he groaned "...That's me kicking you in the side. I tripped over your ass the first time."

Brian began laughing and Rome groaned "My stomach hurt. You so damn violent."

I stood waiting for whatever Markham and Bilkins had planned for us in this warehouse, as a truck backed in stopping in front of us.

The back door slid up revealing a brunette Latina woman with her hands on her hips.

"Brian O'Connor, Roman Pearce, Diana Dyer meet Monica Fuentes," Markham said introducing us

"Do they have background on Verone?" Monica asked

I then looked over towards Brian, who couldn't take his eyes off of her causing me to laugh sarcastically and move away from him a bit, causing him to look back toward me.

"They've been briefed," Markham replied

"Good. All right, here's the deal. Verone's looking for drivers. I've arranged for both of you to join up. I've also hired some thugs. You know, to make it legit." She spoke as she walked closer to us

"When do we start?" Rome asked

"Right now." She replied

"What are we driving?" I asked

She then pointed her head in the direction behind us causing us to turn seeing Bilkins and Markham removing the car coverers.

It was a 03' Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder Gts, 02' Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, and a 03' Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ440.

Purse charms designed as cars. Perfect.

"Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Rome cheered

"Don't even think about takin' the convertible. It might loosen your mousse." Rome said to Brian

I laughed, as Monica looked over at me with daring eyes.

"No, that's cool. That's too much chrome for me anyways." Brian replied

"Damn! Where you all confiscate these rims from, man?" Rome said going on and on about the car

"Check in with us after you meet him," Bilkins said to us

I nodded along with Brian before hearing Markham ask Monica "You gonna have any problems with these knuckleheads?"

"I can handle 'em. But the girl may give me a bit of an issue...she seems like the my way or the high way type."

I laughed sarcastically and said "Damn right. But I won't bite you unless you bite me."

"They give you any trouble at all, you let me know," Markham said to her

"Thanks, Markham," She replied shaking his hand

She then began making her way over to the passenger door of the car Brian was driving and said "I'll ride with you, cowboy."

As she grabbed the handle to open the door, I pushed it shut.

"Nope, your ass is riding with me, boo boo kitty." I glowered

She smiled and said "You're a little feisty one, huh? I break little girls like you."

I smiled and quickly grabbed her by the neck pushing her hardly into a nearby wall.

"Break me." I scoffed as she just smiled putting her palm up towards her audience, telling them to back down.

"We're going to have fun, Ms. Dyer." She said with a smile as I let go of her neck and said "Fun, huh? Well play with the right ones not me."

I then turned seeing everyone looked panicked.

"Let's go." I simply said, going to the red and black car with her following behind me

We then got in the car and I sped out of the warehouse, with Brian and Rome following behind.

Speeding through the streets of Miami, Monica finally spoke about directions.

"Turn right here," She said causing me to drift around the corner.

We then drove through a suburban neighborhood until she said, "Stop here."

I stopped and she said "Where you need to be is down the street. Once we get in here you all are on your own."

I did nothing but nod in response as she got out of the car before I made the turn parking on the side of the street, getting out.

I then walked over to Brian and Rome as Brian said "What the hell was that at the base Diana?"

"She has a big mouth," I said not even looking him in the eye, let alone his direction.

That voice in the back of my head then steadily got louder as it began taking over stating what I feared.

He's just using you, he doesn't want you or love you.

"Ba-"

"I'm not your babe or your baby. Leave me alone right now." I said cutting Brian's sentence off short finally looking over at him

"Hey, where did you get them cars? The bottom of a cereal box?" A man said to us

"Eh! Real funny, Fonzie." Rome teased back

"Ass," I said rolling my eyes

A/N: Okay 😂😂😂 How do you guys feel about Duch tripping over Rome? What about her negative second thoughts about Brian, because he couldn't keep his eyes off of Monica? What about her response to Brian when he tried to talk to her? 🤕 Remember to vote, comment, share and add to your library!

One Last question! Do you guys like this more than the original book? (You can be honest! Personally, I like how this one's diving deeper than the last, and Diana and Brian's relationship (and is not as quick as it was.)
