Nikki POV

"This....this is a joke right?"

"Yeah, there's like 5 cars behind this thing, right?"

"Nope. We need to stay off their radar, so this is our ride to New York."

Roman and I stared at Little Nobody waiting for the punchline, but he just kept walking to the fish cube truck. "Please tell me it's at least empty!" I pleaded.

I'm starting to think Little Nobody gets off on our disappointment, because he just glanced back with a smirk and opened the van. The smell almost immediately hit us. Of fucking course it's full of dead fish. Why would anything ever go our way?

"That's just cold, man. Y'all ride in that, Nikki and me are just gonna walk," Roman grabbed my arm and started guiding me away.

"Yo, if you're taking her I'm comin' too!" Ace ran up to us and linked arms with Roman and we continued walking. As we were passing Deckard and Hobbs, I felt a firm grip on my arm.

"You three aren't going anywhere," The owner of the hand on my arm spoke up. I followed the arm up to the face of the oldest Shaw brother. His eyes were staring hard at Roman, practically daring him to say something.

"And if I want to?" I knew Roman wouldn't try fucking with Deckard after everything he's done, but I couldn't stop myself. Pissing men off is one of my favorite pass times, especially ones that have fucked with my family. His grip on my arm tightened and he moved his eyes to meet my own.

"I'll just have to follow you." I nearly choked, whether from what he said, the smirk he now had, or the way he said it, I don't know. Probably all three. But god damn. The dude knows how to get me to shut up. His hand slid from my upper arm down to my hand and we lead me the other way. I was still trying to process what the hell was going on, so I didn't struggle with him. I could hear Ace behind me laughing and Roman ask, "Did I miss something? Like did I black out and suddenly Shaw has Nick under a some bullshit Brit spell?"

I saw Deckard turn his head, "She just likes me more than you, mate!" He moved me closer to him and put his arm around my shoulders, just to rub some salt in the wounds I guess. "You alright, love? You're being quiet." He was smirking, which means he probably knew exactly what he was doing to me.

Knowing he would be just as caught off guard as I have been, I wrapped my arm around his back and grabbed onto the back of his jacket. I stared forward as he whipped his head towards me only to see the smirk matching the one he wore not even a minute ago. His smirk returned and his grip tightened as we reached the van.

Letty and Ramsey were already in the van sitting together. They stopped talking when we got on until they saw it was just us. They threw a confused look at our arms and bodies being so close quickly, but returned to their conversation.

"How much longer until we get to tell them?"

"A few more days. After this whole Cipher thing is over with. I promise."

"What? But watching the two of them trying so hard is literally the best thing in my life!" I knew what they were talking about right away.

"It is, but I'd much rather be able to be happy with my girlfriend," Ramsey chuckled.

"Fine, but you better tell me when you're telling them, cause I want that reaction on camera."

"Deal," Letty laughed.

The rest of the crew loaded into the truck, Roman over Hobbs' shoulder, so clearly he wasn't coming easy. He dropped him into one of the crates in the back. He immediately jumped out with a shriek. "Their was some dead fish in there man!" He was whipping his hands all over him trying to get the bits off him while the rest of us were either watching happily or laughing. "'S not funny!"
