Miley.

As soon as it was 12 pm, we closed up the shop just for lunch. We don't do things like switch shifts, Selena and I always loved to be old fashioned and take everyone out for lunch, have a break from EVERYTHING, and open back up around 1 pm.

Selena was giving any customers that were left in the store that were still looking a card for buy one get one free. As soon as we cleared the store, tidied the place up a bit, a closed the shop up I decided to take the girls out for lunch.

"Okay girl's who's up for lunch? My treat for the grand opening!" I said with a big smile on my face that matched everyone else's.

"This is such a great day! You know I barely moved here a month ago, and this is like a dream job already!" Ariana exclaimed while running to grab her purse from the lounge, causing everyone to laugh. I can tell that all of us were going to be great friends.

The only thing that kept holding me back from actually thinking was that guy, Nick. It seemed like Demi knew him since I saw them talking while I was helping Ariana, are they dating, or ex's? I shook my head, no Miley it doesn't matter maybe he's just a player.

"Hey Demi, do you know that Nick guy from earlier?" I try to smoothly come across the situation with Demi, hopefully.

Demi arched her eyebrow, "Yes I do, and he's nothing but trouble. He may be my older brother, but he sure as hell is not even close to acting older." She simply stated as she shrugged her shoulders.

I frowned slightly, "What's so bad about him, just for future reference you know?" I say trying to play it off coolly.

Demi smirked, "Don't tell me you are starting to actually like him as a friend or something, I know you just moved here, but Nick is the leader of a gang, the most known in Miami, even the cops don't bother with them anymore." She explained to me as we walked along the Miami Shore Boardwalk.

My mouth formed into an 'O' shape, "I see, thank you for telling me since I'm basically new here and all, but he doesn't seem all that bad…" my voice trailed off as a roar of motorcycles passed by us on the streets, there had to be at least 9 of them.

Demi looked in the same direction I was looking, "Those 9 are the main ones, the originals, but trust me there are much more that came from. Come on, this sushi restaurant is amazing!" Demi said as she pulled me into a building.

Lunch was amazing; I will definitely be coming back to this place more often with Selena! We all laughed at random stories as we walked back to the store to re-open and get business going again.

Monday 8:38 pm

I said goodbye to all of the girl's as the day was over and looked forward to seeing them again tomorrow morning. Today was a huge success! Business was booming today, better than Selena and I had expected.

I was currently hanging things back up in their correct places, and re-folding some shirts. Selena was re-stocking some merchandise and clothing items that were fast to sell today. I took the money out of the cash register's and placed them in the safe in our locked office, just to be on the safe side.

"Ready to go Sel?" I asked as I looked at her putting the last of the clothes on the table and giving me a nod. I stepped outside; there was a chill breeze with the moon brightly shining above me. I looked to my right to only see the one and only Nick Monroe standing not too far away.

I smirked, "Now, what are you doing here? Isn't past your bedtime?" I teased him. He rolled his eyes,

"Haha, very funny. Just wanted to see if we could go out for a night ride on my motorcycle for awhile, what do you say?" Nick said with a grin on his face.

I heard Selena locking up the store behind me, "Okay Miles let's….. go," Selena said absentmindly before noticing that Nick was here. "Oh, who's he?" She asked with her brows furrowed in confusion.

Nick laughed, and spoke with that deep voice of his, "Nick Monroe, Demi's brother, and you are?"

Selena grinned, "Selena Russo, Miley's best friend, and we are just leaving, let's go Miles." She said quickly remembering everything Demi had said about Nick earlier.

"Uh actually, I think I'm just going to go with Nick for tonight Sel, please don't worry." I said worried, Selena could blow up on me, being protective as she usually is.

Selena had a skeptical look on her face, "Alright, be back no later than midnight, or Nick, I will kill you." She finished before driving away in her car.

Nick started up his motorcycle as I just stared at him, "You going to get on or what?"

"Shouldn't we wear helmets...?" I carefully questioned him, causing Nick to chuckle as if I was joking.

"You're joking right; do I look like a guy who follows safety precautions?" Nick snickered at me.

I rolled my eyes, "Fine," I blandly said as I hopped onto the motorcycle behind him, "We better not die." I told Nick straight out, I sounded like this wasn't a big deal, but I was scared and about ready to pee my pants.

"Whatever you say princess, you might want to hold on though." He teased,

"Why would I need to - OH MY GOD!" I yelled as Nick quickly left the parking lot, speeding like a maniac, I was clutching onto him for dear life.

I could hear him laugh, my arms were currently wrapped around his torso holding onto him like my life depended on it… actually IT DID.

Nick entered the empty freeway; we were going somewhere far, now I was getting worried. I mean, I haven't even been in Miami for a week, and I'm off with the head leader of the most feared gang in Miami, where the hell did I even get the confidence to say yes?

As we exited the freeway, we soon entered this narrow dark alley leading to an open field with open bonfires, motorcycles sprawled out across the field and front, girls in skimpy clothing clinging onto gang member who were drinking like there was no tomorrow, and a whole bunch of smoke from the smokers, isolated in an area.

"Um, I take it back, I want to go home Nick…" my voice was shaky, hell I wouldn't be surprised if I've already peed my pants by now.

Nick put his foot down as he turned off his motorcycle and put it in place, "No can do babe, I still have another," he looks at his phone, "3 hours with you before Selena hunts me down," Nick winks at me.

He helps me off the motorcycle, "Stay close, since you're new and all and maybe blend in a bit…" He said as he took the headband off of my head, messed with my hair a bit, "You still look like a snotty rich girl, but it will do for now."

"Let's go," Nick said while quickly grabbing my hand and pulling me through a crowd of gang members, I'm guessing his.

I bit my lower lip as I pulled my body closer towards Nick as if someone was just going to drag me away, which seemed like a big possibility at the moment.
