Black Hearts

Chapter Eighteen

Cece POV

"Another strike bitches!" Lei cheered as she knocked down the bowling pins.

Well damn...

I decided to show Lei around the not-so-great town of Clear Lake, although there's no shit to show since this town is so fucking small compared to Brooklyn, Manhattan, New York City and all the other popular New York towns. There's a couple of bomb ass bakeries, a mall, some thrift shops, the beach/shore area and the boardwalk where the fairs and carnivals of Clear Lake are. Other than that, there's nothing to really do here. You gotta learn to entertain yourself in this place.

Right now, its Saturday in the afternoon and Lei and I are at the mall in the game room area playing bowling and she's beating my ass.

"Well how about that! I gotta step up my game!" I tell her as I grab a green bowling ball and begin to throw. But when I threw the ball, it went straight to the gutter. "Fuck!" I mumble.

Lei was cracking up in the background and she was about to fall on the floor in tears.

"Girl, if you don't get up, imma push you down!" I tell her cracking a smile and she tried to stand up. When she tried to stand, she slipped in her bowling shoes and fell on her ass and I began to laugh hard as hell! She was laughing too, and I declared this day to be the day I almost pissed my pants from laughter.

She was still laughing on the floor when a tall, dark and handsome man our age came over to us. He stuck his hand out to Lei.

He had skin like mine, but was a little bit darker because he had a tan. His hair was shaggy and dark chocolate brown, which went great with his pale green eyes. He had a strong jaw line, and was about 5'11. He wore a muscle tee (Jesus take the wheel!) and showed off his biceps and black shorts and Jordan shoes. He had a scar on his jawline, which made me wonder where he got it from.

"Need a hand beautiful?" He said in a deep voice.

"Hot damn, who are you?" I mumbled under my breath staring at the Channing Tatum look alike. Lei looked in awe as she grabbed his hand and he pulled her up to her feet.

"Woooooah." Lei said in a high pitched voice as a reaction from looking at Hottie McSexy-Pants. She covered her mouth in embarrassment and I snorted. He smirked as he let go of Lei's hand slowly.

Another dude had then came over behind Hottie McSexy-Pants. He had red cut hair, dark green eyes that contrasted from his olive colored skin, a lanky body with a crooked jaw line. He was about 5'8 from what I could tell.

"You two ladies having fun?" Hottie McSexy-Pants asked us and we nodded.

"Do you speak?" He asked us jokingly.

"Oh, yea we do. Uh, i'm Cece and this is my friend Lei." I say.

"I'm Mason. I've never seen you around before." Mason said as he eyed Lei up and down sneakily but I caught his wandering eyes.

"That's because i'm knew. I uh... just came from Florida." Lei sort of stuttered. I could she was nervous in front of Mason. But I mean, cmon on! Look at him! He could be Channing Tatum's twin for fucks sake!

"I noticed that it's a small town. You sort of get to know everyone here..."

"Whether you want to or not." His friend mumbled.

"Who are you?" I simply asked him and he spat back on me.

"None of your fuckin' busniess, that's who I am!"

"Look Ron Weasly, I don't need your cockiness-" I started to say but Lei held me back and Mason held back the red-head fucker.

"This is Benny, Benny, this is Cece and Lei." Mason said.
