acceleration | Brian O'Conner

Chapter Fifteen

-ˋˏ ༻ I missed you ༺ ˎˊ-

Dom had dropped off Dayanara off as he claimed 'there's something I still got to do'

Usually she would've argued against her brother to not do whatever he was about to do or plead for her to go with him as she always thought it was better that way

Tonight she didn't argue or plea

Instead she nodded and called it a night but she couldn't sleep, every minute of the hour was going by slowly

every minute that Brian's hands traveled on her body

every minute that Brian kissed against her neck

every minute that she couldn't help but admit she enjoyed and didn't want to stop

He was a curse

The only thing that she could think to herself

Couldn't help but question herself, she hated him. Why is it now that she can't help but miss him

In that moment. In that room. It took everything in her to fight whatever she felt for him

Anything she ever felt was to Brian Spilner, she didn't know Brian O'Conner

God knows how much Brian actually cared about Daya, for her well being, her happiness, making she she always felt okay

But that night...

"Daya, I'm a cop"

Everything after those four words

Four words that ruined absolutely everything

It felt like a blur, she felt like her heart was ripped out of her chest and torn to pieces, the realization that he was after her brother, herself and family sent anger into every bone in her body

She laid on her bed, back against the sheets staring at the ceiling, reliving the moment back in the club with him

Why why why why why

Why did you kiss him. Why

She attempted to close her eyes hoping she would stop thinking about it but she couldn't

"I don't feel anything for you Brian"

Seven words that weren't true. Turns out Brian wasn't the only liar

"fuck" she mumbled to herself, stressed before turning on her stomach and digging her face into her pillow

Dayanara and Dom had agreed to just meet in the warehouse when Campos alarmed them

When she arrived, she noticed Doms car already there and also noticed how Brian wasn't there yet

The whole warehouse itself looked suspicious but the inside of the warehouse had armed men that looked like they would blow your head off if you just sneezed

It wasn't long until Brian showed up and parked a couple feet away from daya at on her left

They started approaching cars one by one, first started with Dom and then made their way to Daya's. Nobody spoke a word either

She turned her head to look at her brother but when she did she noticed that he was staring at Brian

Brian was struggling with something you can see it on his face but he tried his best to not make it obvious

Once they cleared them they moved them into a truck that held the cars and them

Daya had got out of her car when she saw Brian laying on the hood of his car with his eyes closed

Not sure if he was sleeping or not she tried her best to move past him quietly

"I don't want you to avoid me" he spoke he said just above a whisper, she stopped in her tracks

Everything in her was telling her to keep walking, ignore him, keep going

But her heart was pounding as she bit her lip

fuck it

She turned to look at him, his blue eyes piercing into her soul, his face desperately wanting her to join him, or just speak to him

"What Brian" she sighed not moving any closer to him. She stood a good 8 feet away from the car

He sat up from the windshield of his car, moving his body so that he was sitting on the edge of the hood with his feet on the ground

"I missed you" he offers her a smile, it's like he ignored what she had said the other night

'I don't feel anything for you Brian'

"No Brian." she shakes her head looking back up at him "You're not allowed to do that not now, not after the other night, not after 5 years"

His smile faltered as she noticed the shame wash over his face

"You don't even know" she continued as she bit her lip and the goosebumps rose on her skin "I get that it was your job Brian. And you're clearly still on a job, but never did you have to pretend to care about me" Daya spat harshly turning around and going down the latter towards her brother when she got into the car with hin

"Some one's mad" Dom suggests with his eyes closed, she just hummed in response not wanting to speak on it

"This ain't right bro" A man jumps down in front of our car along with his friend "Nobody said nothing about being locked in no truck" he complains

"Tell me about it" His friend agrees with him "Ay ay" he calls to grab both siblings attention

"Yo, where do you think they're taking us" he questions

"Don't matter" Dom shrugs opening his eyes at the two men before closing them again "We're all just along for the ride now"
