Leon nodded at the bar tender as he slid the Corona in front of him, the cold drink, cool in his hand, he was currently waiting for Nessa to show herself from where ever she was comeing from, she had phoned him earlier that day, telling him to meet her at the bar, and then when he had arrived, received a text message telling him she would be late, that was half an hour ago, seriously how long could a cheerleading practice take.
With a sigh he downed half of his drink, pulling out his phone to scroll to her number, but it went straight to voice mail, just like it had done on the three other times he had attempted to ring her.
He was actually annoyed that she was running late, well he wasnt, but it was better to be annoyed then worried for his sister who thought it would be a good idea to head home to Miami and face her past, what was even worse was Jack had thought it was a good idea as well.
He quickly finished the drink in his hand, slideing away the empty bottle, deciding that for that night only he would turn to something stronger.

Jeremy walked into the bar and glanced around seeing a few faces from his vague childhood memories. He knew they wouldn't remember him, he had changed so he passed them by, heading towards the bar.
His fingers called the bartender over as he placed his normal order of rum. As the bartender prepared the drink he perched himself on an empty barstool. There was a guy sitting not to far from him looking at his phone with an annoyed look.
Jeremy couldn't help himself, "Get stood up?"

Leon turned at the sound of a slightly amusmed voice comeing from his side, twisting in his seat, his gaze fell on a slightly long haired man, shaking his head he pushed his phone back into his pocket. "She got held up at work"He stated turning his gaze to the whiskey in front of him, smiling at the bar keeper.

Jeremy laughed softly, "I used to get that excuse," he said thanking the bartender as a glass of rum was placed in front of him, "It turned out she was doing more then working late though. Here's hoping you don't get caught in the same spider's web," Jeremy said lifting his glass at the other man.
"The name is Jeremy," he introduced himself after taking a sip of his drink.

Leon rose a brow, he didnt think Nessa had it in her, but then he hadnt seen her in over two years, things changed in that time, he shrugged his shoulder, he nodded, lifting his own glass, tilting it ever so slightly.
"Yea" He took a sip and sighed, "Leon"He stated, his phone vibrating, maybe that was Nessa, instead it turned out to be his sister, with a roll of his eyes he decided for the moment to ignore it untill he was less angry with her.

Jeremy smiled behind the rim of the glass, "So Leon what do you do for a living," he asked seeing that this whole conversation might be turning into small talk until the other man's girl friend showed up.
He could see the glance at the phone that tipped him off that there were other people that Leon didn't want to talk to. He was lucky, the only calls he got were from the Tran's and their other business partners.

Leon turned his gaze over to the other man, he had learned long ago that people who tened to ask questions ment bad buissness, but he seemed harmless, and was simply making small talk.
"Im a mechanic"he stated, which was technically true, he driffted between Brians place and Dom's place. "What keeps you occupied"He questioned with a raised brow.

Jeremy nodded, "I'm a business man myself. Though I play guitar and work on my 1970 T-bird with the rest of my time," he said taking another sip of the rum.
Now knowing Leon was a mechanic made him need to word things a bit differently now. If the wrong mechanic found out about his dealings with the Tran's there would be a price to pay with the very people that had helped him survive through the death of his parents and the orphanage he had been put into until he was a legal adult.

Leon nodded impressed, even more so at his car, he had worked on several and Dom alawyas did have an eye for those types of cars. "Nice, what she run"He questioned his racer side comeing fully over, wondering if he had modified her in any way or had left her as standard.

Jeremy grinned sheepishly, "At the moment nothing," he said shaking his head, "I was trying to restore the old motor that stopped running, but motors never spoke to me that good. I'm more of an electronics and hot-wiring kind of guy. There is supposed to be a guy named 'Diablo' here in LA that works just with motors but I haven't found a number. So the T-bird is just sitting in my garage with all the guts showing until I can figure out what's wrong with the engine."

Leon shook his head, "Well beaut of a thing like that shouldnt be sat around...i could always take a look at her for you" He stated, he was good with anything when it came to cars, from the hardest job to the most simplest, Dom had taught him everything he knew and the rest he had picked up, some from his own, others from his dead beat of a father.

"That would be cool," Jeremy said nodding, "It's been almost a year since I got her and I'd like to have her up and running before I rip the motor of my Camero and replace it with a twin turbo."
Jeremy had to keep from getting his scheming on, people he had just met at a bar didn't always remember the next morning what they had offered. He had been there once or twice himself, having offered some assistance at getting a particular item and not remembering the conversation at all the next day.

Dana was definitely on Nessa's shitlist right now. The girl messed up a routine more than once so obviously they all got to stay until it was perfect. If your foot was even half a cenitmeter out of place you'd start from the top. It was the pressure of being on television, everything had to be picture perfect.
Vanessa Lopez had taken the quickest shower of her life, blew off an invite for a night out with the girls and the team. Although she knew they'd probably all end up back at her place at any rate. Being that three of the squad lived there and the place wasn't small it was the prefered after party hangout.
All she could think about was Leon, her phone had been taken from her and turned off after the third time it rang out. finally pulling the burnt orange lotus exige to a stop outside the bar she checked herself in the rearview. Perfect as always, clear gloss slicked across full pouty lips, eyes heavily lined with khol and full thick lashes coated in mascara. She straightened herself as best she could inside the car.
In her backless top jeans and heels she sashayed into the bar. casting her eyes around to find her greek god of a boyfriend a smile creeps across her face as she spots him with his back to her. He's talking to someone she doesn't know, allowing her eyes to drink in the sight of him. watching the play of muscles with each movement he makes, casually walking over and slipping an arm around his waist she places her lips to his neck.
Nessa: I'm sorry papi, the witch went into meltdown. Everything has to be perfect for the game apparently. Whose your friend?

Leon smiled, nodding his head, it had been a long time since he had been able to dig his hands into a decent engine, with things being the way they were, his attention had been else where, with a sigh, he slipped out Brians card from his pocket and slid it over towards the other man. "Tell him i sent you"He stated just as he felt a hand wrap around his face, lips at his neck, which ment it could only be one person, he sighed, relaxing into her arms, while he shifted her around to his front, twisting so he could settle her into his lap.
"Jeremy....this is Nessa"He stated, dropping a kiss to her bare shoulder, his gaze danceing up and down her form, for the hundreth and more time since getting with her, realizing just how lucky he was to have such a looker in his life. "Its okay, who knew being a laker girl could be so hard"He laughed.

Jeremy took the card and nodded sliding it into his back pocket, "Thanks Leon I will," his eyes danced over the woman on Leon's arm, "Nice to meet you Nessa," he said extending his hand to her.
He could read from their body language that they were attached at the hip and wouldn't be worth his time to flirt with the girl as it would cause him more trouble then it was worth. Jeremy was glad that he had been wrong about Leon's girl, because when girl's started lying they became like man eaters, took what they wanted and left nothing left. Which was ironic that he had fallen for someone that did exactly what he had done for years.

After taking a moment to size up the other man, the light brunette smiled. It wasn't one of the thousand watt smiles reserved specifically for Leon but it was warm enough. Her ice blue eyes danced with mirth as Leon placed another kiss on her shoulder.
Nessa: Pleasure to meet you Jeremy.
Wriggling in Leon's lap slightly partly to create some friction that could be embarrassing for him later and partly to get comfortable. She finally settles against him before flashing a smile to the bar keeper. she's been here a couple of times before to say the least and well who'd forget a woman like her. It wasn't long before a strawberry daquiri was slid infront of her. Noticing the questioning look on Jeremy's face Nessa laughs
Nessa: I tend to be memorable so i'm told. I haven't been to a bar a second time where they haven't remembered what i drink.
Now that everyone is settled down and explanations made the two men are about to go back to talking about cars when Vanessa drives her elbow into Leon's ribs.
Nessa: Thought i forgot you were implying cheerleading wasn't hard work? Your lucky if i don't make you go home alone for that one Perez.

Jeremy shook his head at Leon's girlfriend, "Everyone's definition of hard work is different. Since I can't see Leon having been a cheerleader I doubt that he'd know the amount of work you do. For that matter I don't know how hard your job is but I'm not going to judge."
He rolled his shoulders back and finished off the drink the bartender already setting another one down in front of him. Jeremy was watching Nessa, he was watching her every move, it was possible that she could take him off of his game. Women could play games around his own, making it hard for him to keep from revealing anything he didn't want people to know about him.

Leon smiled as he turned his gaze onto Nessa a small smile crossing his face at her, an arm wrapping around her wasit "We both know you wuoldnt do that" He muttered, dropping a kiss on her shoulder, he turned his gaze onto Diablo and nodded his head.
"I like you," He muttered with a smile "How bout a couple of drinks on me"

Jeremy shook his head, "Thanks Leon, but it's okay. I shouldn't drink too much, I have to be to work in a couple of hours and it wouldn't be good if I was too buzzed."
He smiled slightly and watched the happy couple for a bit before he finished off his whiskey, checking his cell phone for the time he sighed softly. Only an hour before it was back to work.
