A street racer and a cafe

Ch.48 Ox's 23rd birthday

(Just to be clear heat wave is still ebing updated just wanted to work on the main story.)

*Royal's point of view*

I was shook awake and looked up seeing Coconut starring at me.

"Wake up." She said.

"Why, what time is it?" I asked noticing it was still dark outside.

"A little after five o'clock AM." Coconut replied

"Why are you getting me up so early?" I asked.

"Its Ox's twenty third birthday and everyones up, even Kashou."

"So we're decorating?" I asked.

"Yep, and Kashou's baking a cake." Coconut said.

"As expected of the baker." I said climbing out of bed slowly and putting my Rogue Speed jacket on.

I followed Coconut into the living room where Cinnamon, Maple, Azuki, and the twins (Chocola and Vanilla.) were all decorating.

"Morning guys." I yawned.

"Morning they all said softly."

I walked into the kitchen to watch the cake master Kashou himself whip up a cake.

"So, what kind of cake are you baking?" I asked.

"A vanilla sponge cake, speaking of the cake what is Ox into, should I make it a drifter theme cake?" Kashou asked.

"I'd go with that." I said.

We finished the decorating and I helped Kashou decorate the cake. It was past nine o'clock before Ox old circle head ass woke up. We heard the door to his room creak open and he walked out.

"SURPRISE." We all yelled

Ox game us his trademark tired ass smile. "Thanks guys." He said sleepily."

Maple and Azuki rushed over to Ox and gave him his 23 birthday kisses and we lit the candles on the cake, Ox blew them out and we had our slices.

"So, Ox, what do you wanna do for your twenty third birthday?" I asked.

"Go to Vegas." He replied.

"Alright, bet, guys start packing." I said.

We packed and left later that night for the air port. We boarded our flight and within 15 hours were in Vegas. We went inside a fancy hotel and requested the penthouse suite.

"You couldn't possibly afford the suite." The front desk manager said.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out five grand and handed it to him.

"That change your mind?" I asked.

His hand trembled as he handed us the key to the suite. I smiled and handed the key to Ox as we boarded the elevator and road to the top of the hotel. We found the door to our room and opened it. This room was huge, wide spacious living room with a 70 inch flat screen tv, leather couches. And a second floor. With two bathrooms and two rooms with queen size beds, did I mention the other two rooms downstairs with the same size beds, not to mention the kitchen with, several bottles of champagne, oh we are gonna get waved mate.

"So, what should we do first?" I asked.

"Why don't you boys go out and have fun, we'll settle in here." Coconut suggested.

"Alright, if you insist." I said.

"Come on Ox, Kashou, lets go see what Vegas is made of." I said.

We got in a Taxi and went down the Vegas strip looking out at all the fancy neon signs that lit up the strip.

"So, Casino anyone?" Kashou asked.

"Sure, I'll try my hand at some black jack." I said.

"Why not?" Ox said.

We told our driver to let is off at the nearest Casino. We stepped out of the cab and payed the driver. I looked up at the sign which read "Silverton Casino" I felt a coldness wash over me, for those who don't know Silverton was the name that street racers gave a section of Palmont city that was quite literally made up of fancy hotels and neon light Casino's as far as the eyes could see, some people even referred to it as little Vegas and Silverton was inhabited by a gang of street racers who were known for owning Casino's and gambling called the Stacked Decks and their leader, Darius, he and I had history, bastard framed me for missing money in a street race and had the whole town or at least the street racer part of the town against me.

"Hey, you alright?" Ox asked.

"Y-Yeah, its just the name of this place reminds me of Silverton in Palmont city." I said pointing up to the sign.

Ox looked up at the sign and then back to me. "You beat Darius though right?" He asked.

"Yeah, I feel weird being here though." I said walking in.

Our night went without conflict, thank god, and we returned to the hotel and soon headed home a few days later, maybe I was just paranoid about being in one of Darius's Casino's, I'm sure it'll be just fine.

Meanwhile.

"Time to open our newest Casino in Ventura Bay, Stacked Casino, I look forward to seeing Royal again." I smirked to myself.

Who's our new mystery person? Stay tuned.
