The next night was going good, we showed up like usual. David and Paul were both holding onto me, David`s arm around my waist, Paul`s around my shoulders. Dwayne was with Grace and Laddie between them, with Marko and Hope following closely. That`s when I caught sight of Michael`s curly hair. He was leaning over, watching a girl get her ear pierced.
"Grace, Hope. The brothers are here. Grace your with me, Hope, take Marko and hit up Sam at the comic book store. Gain his trust, don't scare him."
"Got it." Hope grabbed Marko`s hand and together they sauntered off.
Grace and I turned to our respective mates. "Okay, meet us by his bike, its the red one. If you can`t remember, follow us, but stay hidden. We`ll see you in a bit." I offered them a small smile before turning around. Laddie held Dwayne`s hand looking really eager to get started.
Grace and I began walking. Tonight my outfit consisted of black fishnet tights with a few rips here and there, which were held together by a few silver safety pins, a white shirt that ended under my boobs and was held together by a zig-zag-ing string, like a corset, only in the front of the shirt. My shorts were high-waisted as usual, only like the shirt, held together by the corset-like strings on the front. My usual just below the knees boots were on. Grace, on the other hand, had gone for a simple white corset, a black skirt that just barely grazed the ground and a pair of sandals.
I leaned over, behind Michael. "It`s a rip-off."
He looked over and the shock on his face was priceless. He followed us as we walked. "Hi."
We looked back and smiled. "If you want your ear pierced, I`ll do it," Grace told him.
He looked at us in wonder. Stupid boy. "What are your names?"
"Grace."
"Nora."
"Cool names. Wheres your other friend? The one that looks like you?" He asked.
"Off with her boyfriend," I told him. "We`re supposed to meet up with them. Wanna come?" I asked seductively
"I`m Michael." The poor boy was confused, I thought holding in a giggle. That`s when I saw David with a smoke in between his gloved fingers, and I swear to god, my heart beat picked up. Well, if I had a heartbeat anyway.
"Wanna go and get something to eat?" He asked.
As soon as Michael asked, the boys came over, the loud rumbling or the bikes making Michael jump a little.
"Who`s this girls?" David asked.
"This is Michael." Like they needed to know. I watched as Grace went and got on the bike behind Laddie, making sure he was on safely.
"Nora?" David asked.
A few seconds passed as I walked over to David. His hand went to mine to help me up and I smiled at him. Paul sat on his bike, smiling and laughing, tapping his handles.
"You know where Hudson`s Bluff is overlooking the point?" David questioned.
"I can`t beat your bike," Michael said.
"You don`t need to beat him Michael, just gotta keep up." I giggled.
With that, David smirked at him and we were gone. David and I in the lead followed by Paul, Marko, and Hope, then Dwayne, Laddie, and Grace. All I could hear was the sound of the howling wind, the boy's shouts and the sound of Lost In The Shadows from the movie playing in my head. Wrapping my legs around David`s waist, I leaned back, my arms up in the air. I pulled back, my arms going around his upper torso. My head was now buried in his neck, leaving small, sloppy kisses. I could hear him growling through the slow rumble that sounded throughout him. David let out a howl and I laughed. Suddenly we were under the docks, then in the forest.
I noticed the dim glow of the lighthouse and the other boys, slowing down. Michael was still with us right there. David was edging him on.
While Michael landed flat on his ass, David and I came to a smooth stop. That`s when Michael threw his punch and the other boys rushed to grab him.
"How far you willing to go Michael?"
Dwayne was the first in the cave, lighting all the bins, quickly followed by Grace, Paul, Laddie, Marko, and Hope. David wrapped his hand around mine and helped me down.
"Get the rock box, brother," Paul told Laddie, who happily agreed.
"Not bad, huh?" David asked as Paul pulled me up onto the fountain for a dance. "This was the hottest resort in Santa Carla about 85 years ago. Too bad they built it on the fault. In 1906, when the Big One hit San Francisco, the ground opened up, this place took a header, right into the crack. So now it's ours." David told him. Michael looked around the room in awe.
Paul, who was lighting a cigarette for us both, said, "So check it out. Mikey." He laughed.
"Marko, Hope. Food." David said. Letting their pigeons go, they took off. "That`s what I love about this place. You ask, then you get." Paul held out a joint to Michael and David. While they continued to talk, Dwayne and Paul pulled Laddie up onto the fountain, before Paul turned around and grabbed me by the waist for the dance.
A few minutes later, Marko came in, calling, "Feeding time! Come and get it guys!"
Everyone began cheering and catching the boxes that Marko was tossing.
"Chinese. Good choice. Guests first." David said, leaning over to Michael.
"No, no I-"
"You don`t like rice? Tell me, Michael, how can a billion Chinese people be wrong?" Everyone laughed and he took the box.
Let the games begin.
