Nina couldnt remember the last time she had been this tired, but she would have guessed it was just after the birth of her daughter when Carter had up'd and left the both of them. SHe folded her arms across her chest, watching as Rome made his way over to her. Tommorow she'd sleep, and she wasnt going to wake up untill noon, she laughed, cus that would ever happen, Alyvia there with her or not there was no way she would sleep past 6.
"Hey" She smilde as she looked at him, then hide a wawn, she smiled up at him in appology, this was not the impresion she wanted to give of to him. He seemed like a nice kind of guy and she was seriously lacking with them in her life. Licking her lips she all but forced herself to push away from the car, fingers brushing through her hair, before letting it settle agasint her back.
"Get in" She gestured for her car, before pulling open the door and settling into her seat, the engine was rumbling beneath her in seconds, she reved the engine a couple of times and as soon as he was settled at her side she dipped the clutch hit the gas and pulled into the road.
"If i had known you had history with Carter i would have gotten my PA to drive me earlier"She stated, flicking her dark gaze over to him, before drifting over into the other lane, ticking so she could head further out of town, heading to the posher and more expensive part of LA.

Rome nodded as she spoke, but kept silent for a little while, until he started noticing how posh the neighborhoods were becoming. It made sense; a Hollywood writer/director, and a reasonably famous one at that, would have enough money to afford a place like these. He whistled as the houses got bigger.
"I figured that, but you wanted as much time with your daughter as possible, right?" He thought for a moment. "What's her name?" For some reason, he kept thinking about that baby, but he didn't understand why.

Nina smiled at the mention of her little girl, she always managed to bring a smile to her face, no matter how dark her mood was, or how tired she was. "Alyvia"She stated, her neighbourhood was comeing up and she signalled for the gated community that was comeing up.
"Miss Reyes, nice to see you this evening" Nina smiled at the man behind the booth "Hey Ric buzz me through" Ric nodded his head and the gates opened, there was enough time to get her car through the gates before they were closeing once more. She took a direct left turn, and flicked a switch on the dash of her car, her garage door opening.
With a soft smile in the direction of Rome she pulled her car next to her skyline, gaze flicking in the direction of her babys. Her yellow Lamborghini murcieago sat next to her Lamborghini Gallardo painted a sleek black her sleek purple supra, with the most amazing spoiler she had ever seen on a car towards the back.

Rome had thought that she couldn't get more beautiful, but then he watched as she smiled at the mention of her daughter, and reevaluated. "Alyvia's a beautiful name," he said quietly, before he lost focus as she pulled into her garage, his eyes passing aimlessly over the Skyline that he had already seen, and the Italian sportsters, stopping on the Supra. It reminded him even more of the car he had driven in Miami, and he was itching to get a look under the hood, if even to see that she hadn't been ripped off in the purchase.
"The Supra, at first look," he said absently as he got out of the car and moved toward the purple beauty. At her nod, he popped the hood and looked at what was a top-of-the-line, tuner engine, something he would have built for himself if he had the money or time.
"This one."

Nina smiled over at him, before watching him step from her car he headed over to one of her pride and joys and gave him a small nod, letting him know he could take a look. At his remark she smiled, walking over to him. "You like"She questioned "I have a couple Evoss but there in the shop" She stated, leaning agasint the body of her supra, something which had taken a lot of time and effort and knowing the right people to get just the way she wanted.

"No, this is perfect; Brian would probably have a heart attack that this wasn't actually being used to race, but sitting in a pretty woman's garage. At least it looks like it doesn't collect dust," he added quickly to cover his words. If he was of a lighter complexion, he would have blushed; at least it would have been visual.
He had no idea why he was acting like this; he hadn't been this nervous around a woman since he was 14, and that was his first time, so it didn't count anyway. He looked up from the engine and into her face, amazed by the play of shadows and light on her features. Had it been anyone else, he'd have just kissed them, but for some reason, he could do nothing but drink her in, unable to look away.
"Go to dinner with me," he said suddenly, quietly.

Nina blushed at his words the last perosn who had looked at her in that way had been Carter, she smiled looking at him, gaze roaming over his features, he was still half leaning over the engine of her car. She draw her bottom lip between her teeth and stepped away
Then his question, it came out of the blue but damn if it didnt feel good. "Okay"She stated "Er how bout we head upstaris and ill get you a drin"

He smiled, relieved. "I could do with a drink," he said cockily, trying to regain his bearings. Something about Nina had sent him into a tailspin, and he had no idea what was up, down or sideways whenever he looked into her eyes.
He realized that this was what Brian had talked about, when they had both been drunk and the blonde had been waxing poetic about Mia Toretto. But he wasn't the kind for this to happen to. This kind of thing only happened to the good guys, the ones who did what they did to better the world, not themselves. He didn't think he'd ever done anything without an ulterior motive, without something being in it for him, preferably something to either make his life easier or more interesting.
He followed her upstairs, leaning against the counter in the kitchen while she pulled out various implements of alcoholic destruction.
"How long have you lived here?"

Nina led him upstairs all the while thinking how crazy she was acting. Sure she could pretend this was all for the movie, but it wasnt and she knew that, thats why it made her all the more crazy, she hadnt let her hair down in a very long time, and she couldnt even begin to blame it on her daughter comeing into her life. She smiled as she grabbed the alchol from the fridge.
"Er i left Collombia with my mom when i was about 15"She stated looking over at him with a smile "What do you want"She questioned, vodka in hand.

He looked at the selection, and then waved a hand. "As long as it doesn't taste like fruit - no offense - I don't care." He watched her as she mixed the drink, marveling at how comfortable she looked in her own home, though that suit must not be very comfortable; as soon as they had come up the stairs, she had kicked off the high heels she was wearing. Once she had mixed, he took the drink from her and then, making sure she noticed it, blatantly looked her up and down.
"I don't think that's what you normally wear when you're in your kitchen," he said bluntly, moving over to a doorway that led to a small den area with a tv. "You are allowed to change. I promise I'm not going to steal anything."

Nina blushed at the way he looked up and down, her skin flushed and she licked her lips and laughed at his comment "I really thought that then i wouldnt have brought you to my home"She stated, she took a small sip of her drink watching as he moved over to the Den.
"How bout you find a film or something and ill go er change"She stated, actually glad she'd be getting something else on other then the god damn skirt and shirt. She watched him for a moment longer before pushing away her drink away and headed up the staries to her room.
Five minuets later she came down stairs in a singlet and joggers, her feet bare as she padded across the soft carpet of her den. "Find anythng dencent"SHe questioned leaning partiailly agasint the door way, her dark gaze locked onto him.
She deffiently had to admit he was site for sore eyes, not normally her taste, but then again guys hadnt been her taste for a very long time.

"Found an old black and white that Brian's dad made me watch one time," he answered without looking up from where he was putting Casblanca into the player. "I actually liked it, but I'm lazy and it's never on tv." His task finished, he looked up, and had to forcibly stop his jaw from dropping. In a suit she had been dazzling, but in joggers she looked devastating. He thought it had more to do with the fact that she seemed more comfortable out of the corporate costume than that she was any more beautiful than before.
He finally dragged his brain back from daydreams and stood, pulling off his overshirt, leaving him in a basketball tank (sleeveless t-shirt) and the jeans. He settled on the couch with his drink and waited for her to join him.

Nina licked her lips as she watched him watching her, it had been such a long time since a guy had look at her in that way, with a small smile her gaze trailed over his muscles, taking him in fully. With a breath she stepped closer towards him, trying to stop any of the thoughts running through her mind.
"Casablanca" SHe questioned as she stettled onto her black leather couch, tucking her feet beneath her as her gaze turned to the TV in front of her, before back over to him, how the hell did a guy like him, enjoy films like this,. With a smile she chuckled softly. "I didnt even realize i had it"She laughed, must have been Cater's she thought, but she didnt say that, didnt want to make him feel uncomfortbale.

"You want to know my favorite movie?" he asked with a grin when he noticed her incredulity at his movie choice. "Die Hard. All of them. But I figured that wouldn't be the kind of movie to watch right now (especially since Alan Rickman's character reminded him not a little of Verone, who he was studiously trying NOT to think about) and this was the only other one I could stand."

Nina nodded her head, laughing ever so slightly. "Die Hard is awesome"she stated with a laugh as she looked over at him, she had never watched the film herself but she had been told more then once how good it was.
With a smile she flicked her gaze from him to the TV "But you say its good ill trust ya"

"More of a chick flick than guys usually watch, it's true, but for some reason Humphrey Bogart can pull off badass chick flick," he said with a laugh, settling back into the leather cushions as the credits began to roll. As the movie was made well before George Lucas had even thought about Star Wars being a movie, all of the credits were at the beginning.
As the movie went on, and he finished his drink, e gravitated toward the center of the couch, stretching his legs out in front of him; it really was a big comfy couch.

Nina couldnt help but feel his prescene, it was a comfy feeling, something she had missed greatily. She spent most of the time watching him them actually watching the move, it was kinda amusing.
"Okay so ill admit, the film was kinda good"SHe stated with a laugh, flicking her gaze back over to him. "So this Friday, im taking theres not a dress code or anything"

"Well, it's more than sweats, but less than sharkskin, if you get my meaning. The Queen used to wear biker boots and leather pants, but I think that was more her style than any kind of dress code. I'd say if you wanna try out the racing, be comfortable, otherwise just wear what you want." He desperately hoped that she wouldn't 'blind him with science' by wearing something short and low-cut; if he tried to race with that image, he'd probably end up like Tej.

Nina smiled "That i may be able to do"she stated, she had a couple of outfits set aside that she tended to wear when she worked at the club, they were sexy yet at the same time was just enough to ensure people know she was the boss. She smiled over at him "You'll be racing"She questioned looking at him.

"Well, yeah... The Bullet hasn't been out in awhile, and I want to see how she goes in the races." Rome finally realised that they were nearly curled up together, but couldn't bring himself to move anywhere but closer.
"So..." he said finally. "What now?"
