We pull up to the Sea Cave restaurant. It seems like it is kinda busy.

Makes since that it would be, it's now 6:30 p.m.

"I'ma run in here and see what the wait is." Zander says as he puts the car in park.

"Okay." I say.

"Stay here with her." He says to Reese and Zahair who rode with us. Keenan, Xavier and Xaimen rode in a separate car, waiting beside us.

"Got you bro." Reese says as Zander steps out of the Suburban.

He walks in and about 2 minutes later he is making his way back to the car hopping back in.

"So they said it's 'bout 30 minute wait." He says looking at me.

"That's fine with me, if y'all are okay with that." I say looking at him then to Reese and Zahair in the back seat.

"Shit I'm down fo' whateva." Reese say.

I look to Zander. "What do you want to do?" I ask him.

"We can wait. It don't matter to me." He says.

"Okay, well while we wait let's go to the arcade part and fuck around while we wait." I say.

"Shit ain't gotta tell me twice." Zander says making a sexy face at me.

I scoff and roll my eyes jokingly. "That is not what I mean." I say. 

He laughs and then looks to his left nodding to the others, that we are going in. They turn their car off and all of us begin to exit our vehicles, walking up to the arcade part. We enter and Zander let's them know it's seven of us. He gets our coins and we walk around the corner, seeing so many different machines we could play. Some of them you can actually win real money from. Those are definitely the ones I am going for.

"Damn they have a lot more shit than I remember." I say.

"Yeah for real." Zander says.

"'Ight y'all do your thing, I'ma stick wid her. Just find me or text if you need me." Zander says to everyone.

They scatter around the arcade and I go to the machine where you put your coin in and it drops gold plated and silver plated coins on a platform in the machine and the more you push over the edge the more money you can win.

"Let's do this one." I say excitedly as I put my coin in the machine.

"Damn you eager ain't it." Zander chuckles as he steps beside me.

"I mean this is the best one. If you play it right you can win a lot of money." I say as I hit the buttons hard as hell, making so many coins drop.

Zander stands there watching closely at what I do and on the third try I hit the jackpot, being able to dump at least one hundred gold coins! I think one hundred gold coins get you around $5,000. The machine lights up and I laugh with happiness.

"Wait, what that mean?" Zander asks.

"I won this time. It's going to print me a ticket that shows how many of the gold coins I dropped and what my total win is." I say.

"Oh 'ight." He says curious.

I wait a couple of seconds as it prints my ticket. Once it is done, I look at it and jump with happiness.

"Holy fucking shit!" I scream and smile from ear to ear.

"What it say? How much you done won?" Zander asks, smiling himself at my happiness.

"$10,000!" I say excitedly.

"You fuckin' lyin'." He says taking the ticket from my hand. His eyes widen when he sees the total amount reads, $10,000 cash. "Holy fuck." He says looking at me as I stand there smiling.
