"CeCe I have writer's block!" Raquel Blue yelled from her Brown Velvet couch in her living room section of her loft. Just then Cecelia Jones walked out of her room with a mug in her hand about to go to the coffee machine to get some more coffee.
"Rocky, you've been saying that for the past week, go outside get some ideas because you wont get any just sitting on the couch," Cece said walking past her kitchen island to get to the coffee Keurig.
"You've been saying that for the past week too, You dont understand Cece nothing happens to me, like at all." Rocky began as she put her laptop on the coffee table infront of her, "I'd get lucky if i'd get bumped on the sidewalk."
"What i do understand is that your story is due to your oh so hot boss at the end of the week and you have nothing," Cece holding her cup so the coffee can brew and drop into her mug.
"How do you know how he looks, you've never met him," Rocky said looking at Cece.
"Because everytime you come home for work, you always talk about how your boss is soo hot," Cece chuckled.
"Ugh, enough of my life, what are you doing today?" Rocky said getting up from the couch and moving to the kitchen island chair with her hands folded looking at Cece
"I'm going Christmas shopping at the Sparget Mall," Cece said blowing and drinking from her coffee cup and coming to the island to meet Rocky.
"Sparget Mall? nobody goes there its all the way on the other side of town," Rocky said taking an apple from the fruit bowl on the counter and taking a bite.
"Yeah, all the good stuff to buy for Christmas is still there," Cece said taking another sip of her coffee.
"Ugh my writers block made me forget that Christmas is in two weeks," Rocky said taking her folded hands and rubbing her temples.
"Oh my God Rocky," Cece began as she put her cup down and took her phone out of her pocket in her pajama shorts and opened her instagram, "Look there's a party happening tonight that I'm going to and you're going with me," She said showing Rocky the party flyer that was posted by the host.
"You know im not in that kind of scene Cece," Rocky moaned.
"You are if you want to keep your job," Cece said taking her coffee cup to her room. Rocky rolled her eyes and went back to the couch and continued typing and backspacing.
Cece was at the Sparget Mall looking at the stores windows to see if there was any specials. Then she got a text from Rocky
'Come home i have nothing to wear for tonight, im minutes away of wearing a burlap sack'
Cece rolled her eyes and as soon as she looked up she bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry!" Cece said slicking her hair back into a bun and trying to help the mysterious looking boy with a blue hoodie on. He had his hood up but what really stood out on his face was his brown eyes and his very deep dimple. 'He's cute' She thought.
He had a mean look on his face at first then he looked at Cece."Next time watch where your going instead of being on your phone and maybe you want bump in to somebody," He said iritated then he quickly turned back around and walked out of Cece sight.
"...Okay?" She rolled her eyes and checked her purse for a list of stuff to buy for Christmas.
"Okay Mac book pro.." Cece said looking for the apple store. She finally spotted it at the other end of the mall and walked in where there was a long line of people trying to get service and finally after about what seemed like an hour somebody approached her.
As soon as Cece opened her mouth to speak she heard a gun shot.
And another one.
And another one.
Then a loud annoying alarm went off.
Cece sprung on the floor and to the back of the store under the counter. Cece didn't know what was going on and she wasnt stupid enough to look over the counter to see either. She heard rapid footsteps coming towards her until she saw a pair of blue and white colored Jordans come infront of her face and and a loud banging noise. Probably the criminal trying to get in the cash register. She was breathing heavily, her hands shaking and they were sweaty. She tried to hold in her gasp and tried to make the least amount of noise as possible. She tried to do everything to distract her from what was going on. She looked at the persons clothes -from what she could see- Grey sweatpants, it seemed familiar. Her phone went off interrupting her thoughts and apparently the criminal's as well.
'Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit!' Cecelia thought as she wrestled through her phone to turn off the buzzer but it was already to late. The criminal was bending down and his face met hers. he had his gun ready and held it in front of her face. She was breathing hard and then she realized who it was. The guy she bumped into earlier. 'Oh no," Cece thought as she shut her eyes. She definitely knew that she was about to die.
Instead of a click from the trigger Cece heard a slight chuckle and then opened her tightly shut eyes.
"You the girl i bumped into earlier?" He asked with a smirk on his face taking the gun off of her.
"Aren't you supposed to shoot me or something," Cece said scared licking her dry lips.
"I am.. but i don't think you really want that now do you," He said quickly, "You might want to get out of here before the cops get here and I frame everything on you," He quickly got a black duffel bag filled with money and crawled to the exit door behind him after five seconds passed he came back from around the corner and nodded his head indicating her to follow him. Alot of stuff went through her mind in five seconds. But as soon as she heard feet shuffle across broken glass, she knew the police was in there so she quickly crawled and followed the cute guy.
They headed down a narrow hallway filled with all types of apple product until they came to a dead end where there was nothing but a very high vent.
"Give me a boost" He said in a whisper with the alarm still going off in the back.
"What?" Cece said, she thought 'Maybe i'm stupid enough to follow a criminal but i am not stupid enough to help one escape.'
"Give me a boost," He said more clearly licking his lips showing his deep dimple.
"Do you think i'm stupid? You go through the vent and leave me to take the blame?" Cece said looking down the empty hallway to see if anybody was coming.
"I promise i wont leave you, just give me a boost," He began, "And if you think your answer is yes you might want to do it quickly because theres about fifteen secoonds before were busted." He finished raising an eyebrow.
Cece knew that she was going to get caught either way and she'd rather get caught with out the money then get caught with the money and the criminal. So she gave him a boost and he went through the vent. Expecting not to get a hand she stood there til she felt a tap on her head. So she looked up.
"C'mon," He whispered holding his hand out.
Cece grabbed his hand and went through the vent and then closed the vent back up and went down the vent till they reached the top of the roof.
They ran out of the mall and into the cold whether and then could see there breath everytime they exhaled. They reached the end of the roof.
"What do we do now?" Cece said frantically.
"You don't think i have a plan by now?" He smirked then he grabbed her by her waist and slid down a drain pipe.
"Are you a criminal or a spy?" Cece said with her hair fly aways from her messy bun flying in the wind, holding on to the pole as well.
"It doesnt matter im saving your ass. In fact you can't tell anyone about this," he said still sliding down the pipe. As soon as they got to the ground in the parking lot in back of the mall a red minivan with no License plate attached on the back pulled up and the boy got into the car and pulled off. The part of the mall where they were was deserted, so nobody saw them. The Sparget mall isn't a popular mall so there wasnt alot of security cameras there, let alone security.
"What the fuck just happened?" Cece said to her self then she headed back around the store to find her car and leave.
Cece came into her apartment and heard rustling in her bed room. Oh no she thought Another robbery that i cant talk about she went in her room not caring at this point. Then she saw her best friend going through their closet and putting everything on Cece's couch pullout bed.
"Rocky, why is everything on my bed?" Cece asked.
"Because my bed was already filled," Rocky said still throwing clothes on Cece's bed, "I have to find something absolutely stunning if im going to get noticed by someone tonight."
"Girl, you wont believe the day I've had," Cece sighed and plopped into the only clear chair in their room.
"Same, you know the little girls downstairs who sell cookies they came up and gave me some 'Chocolate Galores' for free!" Rocky said now going through the pile of clothes that she put on Cece's Bed, "I was gonna save some for you, but i ate it all, sorry."
"Even though your story is pretty exciting, my story is really crazy and you'll never believe what happened," Cece said with a glow in her eyes thinking she was about to tell her story even though the mysterious cute blue hoodied criminal told her not to.
"Oh my God!" Rocky said stopping in her tracks, picking up and blue mini dress that showed the sides of her stomach "You have to let me wear this! Its sexy and elegant, and i do look good in blue."
"Whatever go 'head, but i have to tel you what happened," Cece said now slouching in her chair.
"Hold up the story is going to have to wait i have to write the details of this dress for my story and then take a shower," rocky said leaving the room.
"What to do when your best friend won't listen to you on how you helped a criminal get away." Cece sighed and went to pick out an outfit.
The party was at a popular exclusive club filled with vibrant purple and pink lights flashing everywhere. The second floor was where you could drinks and the first floor was reserved for dancing. and before Cece and Rocky came in you could here the music from a mile away. When they came in a hype dance beat was playing that people were dancing to and drinking and some people were making out.
"Woah, i've never been to a party like this.." Rocky said silently to Cece.
"Because during our college years you just sat in our dorm and studied," Cece said walking off with Rocky behind her. Cece led Rocky to the bar upstairs and ordered two magaritas.
"You dont like magaritas Cece," Rocky said sitting on the bar stool and putting her small silver hand purse on the bar.
"Thats because both of them are for you, you need to loosen up have some fun!" Cece said and looked at the bushy eyebrows bartender, "Listen, if this sexy chick looks like she's not having any fun just call me, okay?"
"For that i would need your number," The bartender winked.
"In that case," Cece began as she got a piece of paper and took the pen that the bartender had behind his ear and wrote her number down, "Here, call me anytime you'd like," She smirked.
"Will do," he said taking his pen back, " Im Deuce."
"Cece," She said, "Matter of fact i'll take a beer."
"You think you can handle it?" Deuce said yelling over the music.
"Ive handle much bigger things," Cece began, "I think i can take a beer."
Deuce smirked and served up the two margaritas for Rocky and the beer for Cece, "There you go, maybe after this beer we can take some shots?" Deuce said cleaning out some glasses and stocking them under the bar.
"Hmm, aren't you on the clock?" Cece smirked flirting along. Rocky took a sip of her margarita and then took the other one and slipped away to start dancing.
"I can take a fifteen minute break," Deuce said leaning on the counter to get closer to Cece.
"Well okay then, I dont mind, but im a little competitive so lets make this into a game," Cece said leaning her head on one hand, "Loser has to take the other on a date and pay for everything."
"I'm down," He chuckled, "But your kind of going against a pro just so you know."
"I think i handle it," Cece smiled. Cece drunk her beer in under a minute which impressed Deuce then he got the shot glasses and came around to the other side of the bar just before they could start their competiton and hard slam came in between them.
"Whoo!" Rocky exclaimed, "Who ever knew these could be so good! I want another one!"
"Looks like im back on the clock," Deuce said getting up and going back around the bar.
"What happened to your fifteen minute break?" Cece chuckled.
"A cute girl told me to make sure her friend is having a good time," Deuce said cleaning out the margarita glass and filling it up again, "Maybe instead of this competiton i could just ask you out?"He said as he gave Rocky two more drinks.
"These are so good!" Rocky said downing one drink slamming the glass down and taking the other one to go back in the crowd.
"Are you just asking me because your afraid i'm gonna kick your ass?" Cece asked coming closer.
"It can't just be cause your wildly cute?" Deuce asked getting closer as well.
"Fine, pick me up at eight tomorrow," Cece said.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Surprise me," Cece smirked.
"Will do, its a date," Deuce said leaning on the bar.
Cece smiled she was always this confident and flirtatious beacause she knew what guys liked in more ways then one. Cece's life was always thrilling and exciting and what happened to her earlier today was just one story out of many. Rocky is more of an indorsy type. She'd rather stay on the couch and watch Netflix then go out and explore with her best friend. Them being so different is what connects them the most. Cece loves bringing Rocky out of her shell, and Rocky loves hearing stories about Cece. This is their first year out of college and on their own in the city of New York. Rocky trying to be journalist, and Cece aspiring to be a famous fashion designer. This is only the beginning for these two. Much more is to come
