again, I do not own anything except my OC's :) ENJOY

The next day I was called early by my boss, Jay-C, and she asked if I could come in today and stay till about eight. I said I would and then I told the girls they were on their own for dinner, they would probably have left over's anyway. Because I had to go in at ten, and it was already eight I hopped in the shower and when I got out I blew dried my hair straight and went to my room and grabbed a pair of high- waisted shorts, and an AC/DC crop top and put on my make-up and a pair of black high tops on as I made my way out of the apartment I grabbed a few pieces of toast and finished as I made my way into work.

Around two I had a break so I went and grabbed some rice from the Chinese place a few shops down. As my lunch came to an end I went back in and started to work and around four I was getting board so I started to go around the store singing softly. My co-worker Sami snuck up on me and started clapping I jumped around and she laughed.

"You have a great voice, you know Polo." I thanked her and went to the back of the store and grabbed one of the portable TV's with a VHS player and brought it out to the sitting area near the check-out so I could still see it and put it a movie. Around eight I heard familiar laughter as I put another movie in, this time a scary/slasher movie with all the blood and guts and gore. I went back to the check out as I saw Marko walk in with his friends. As soon he looked around he spotted me and I smiled over to him and he and his friends came over- since the place was dead it was okay.

"Hey Marko and Marko's friends… I take it you were looking for me?" Marko looked surprised and countered;

"And what would give you that idea?"

"No offense, but you don't seem to be the kind of person to spend their time reading."

"Okay true, but Dwayne, the dark haired one, loves to read. Right Dwayne?"

He nodded and I smiled. "Okay so now I know two out of the four of you, who are the other two?" I asked and the one with crazy, Twister-Sister like hair came over to me and took my hand and kissed it, "Paul, at your service" I laughed and the other one, with bleach-blonde hair came over and did the same saying his name was David.

"Well nice to meet you guys but I have to be getting back to work."

Marko frowned and I laughed, he's so adorable! And then my boss came out saying, "Hey Polo, it's pretty dead around here why don't you go?"

I smiled at here and signed out of the computer and Marko said "Well, looks like you're off." Rolling my eyes I told him I still had to put the TV back and as I did this they sat in the chairs and talked quietly and we left together.

"You hungry?" Paul and Marko asked, I nodded and we went to go grab some food. We stopped and got some hot dogs and then we went and walked around the Boardwalk some more and goofed around. It was getting late and a little chilly as I thought to myself, I'm so stupid, I should've grabbed my jacket!, I felt like Marko could read my mind as he took his bright jacket off and put it over my shoulders and I turned to him, "Won't you get cold?" He shook his head and the two of us continued to walk down to the beach. The others left us at the carousel about an hour ago. We had just been walking around randomly and talking as we went and sat by the shore. As we sat down Marko put his arm around my waist and I leaned my head on his shoulder. It felt like we were only sitting there for a few minutes but I must've been longer because the next thing I knew Marko was gently shaking me telling me to wake up. I opened my eyes slowly to see him in front of me and smiled up at him.

"What time is it?"

"Around one I think."

I sat up and started to stand swearing under my breath, "Crap!" Marko got up and looked at me, "What's wrong you got a curfew or something?" he asked laughing slightly I laughed too, "Well, sort of, I live with some girlfriends and we have this rule that if any of us aren't back by 1:15 that we would call the police. This is Santa Carla after all." He laughed "Do you want a ride back, it would be quicker?" I thought about it and nodded and we walked up to his motorcycle which was by the book store and I got behind him after putting his jacket on all the way and told him how to get to my house.

We soon pulled up and I looked to him as I got off the bike. I was about to take his jacket off when he stopped me,

"Keep it, you can give it to me tomorrow; it'll be a promise that I get to see you." He smiled goofily and I laughed and said okay.

"Thank you Marko, I had a great time tonight by the way. Your friends are really cool, almost as cool as you." And he laughed,

"Well thanks and I'll tell them you said that. I had a great time too. I'll see you tomorrow?" and I nodded, he went to start his bike when I said his name. He turned to me confused and I leaned over to him and gave him a kiss, "See ya tomorrow Marko." He smiled and I turned to walk inside as I walked in I heard his motorcycle speed away. I took my shoes off and didn't bother to change or take Marko's jacket off as I feel onto my bed, of course after I told the girls I was okay.
