Knights of the Night

Ch 4

"Jungkook, please don't," Catalina said from behind the counter. Jungkook was reaching for the unwrapped Kit Kat on the ground under a rack of "St. Briggs Lodge" sweatshirts.

"Three second rule!" he said.

"You found it there! You didn't drop it!" said Catalina. She watched in horror as he picked it up and bit into it.

"It's fine. It's not even old," he said. Catalina groaned and put her head in her hands. The bell above the door rang as a customer walked in. Jungkook ran to join Catalina behind the counter as he stuffed the rest of the Kit Kat into his mouth. They tried to look busy folding the t-shirts in the box behind the counter. Catalina peeked at whoever it was that came in. Two people were browsing the ceramic fairy and dragon figurines. Two guys, one slightly taller than the other. Catalina couldn't see their faces from where she was, but they looked like they might be hot.

"Potential hottie alert," Catalina whispered. Jungkook looked up and tried to catch a glimpse of them. The two men were chatting with each other quietly. One of them turned around. He was wearing sunglasses, but Catalina could tell he was definitely a hottie. When he came more into view, Catalina eyed him over more. His shoulders looked strong and his chest was muscular, she could tell even in his sweater...

"Thighs," Jungkook whispered. Catalina looked down at the tight jeans that hugged the man's thighs perfectly.

"Thighs," Catalina agreed. The other man was just as beautiful; soft hair, lanky but strong looking figure, sharp jawline. This guy wore sunglasses too, red tinted aviators. "Who the hell are these guys?"

Jungkook shrugged.

"Thank you!" the red sunglasses guy said as the two men made their way out of the store.

"Wow, what a treat," Catalina said as soon as the door fell shut.

"It's not even winter yet," said Jungkook. "And we're already getting the hot tourists."

"Are the winter tourists usually hot?" asked Catalina.

"A lot of the surfers from down south come up here in the winter to stay at the lodge, and they're all these tanned, hot people from Los Angeles. It's fun," said Jungkook.

"I'm sure. They didn't really look like tourists though," said Catalina.

"No not really," said Jungkook.

"Hey, so I've been thinking," said Catalina.

"About?"

"About that story you told at the bonfire," said Catalina.

"I think we're thinking the same thing," said Jungkook. "Okay, on three, let's say what we're thinking. One, two, three, let's break into the house."

"I wanna see the house."

They looked at each other before laughing.

"Well, I don't wanna break in if someone's living there, but I definitely want to see it," said Catalina. "I had a dream about it last night."

"Did my scary story give you nightmares? That's awesome," said Jungkook.

"I don't know, I've been having the same dream for a few weeks now. But this time it was the house you described in your story," said Catalina.
