Welcome to Gang Life

•21•

I sit peacefully on the beach humming soft tunes to myself. The waves crashing onto the shore is a melody to my ears. The sand clings from in between my toes and I watch as the sun creeps up in the horizon. Ace sits down beside me and nudges me on the shoulder.

" The date was wonderful Ace," I whisper.

" Besides the part of us almost getting killed," he chuckles.

" Yeah definitely," I giggle back.

Now you all might be wondering what the fuck are you talking about? Well we almost got killed and I swear it wasn't my fault. At least I don't think it was.

We walk out of my apartment building to be greeted with the most beautiful black Lamborghini.

I squeal in excitement, " Oh my fucking god is that your car!"

I'm practically jumping up and down. I'm a huge car lover. I never got the chance of getting a car because first of all I live in New York and I practically walk everywhere or take the bus or subway and second of all I could never afford one.

" Yeah I hope you don't feel like it's over the top," he says while scratching the back of his head.

I giggle and grab his arm. He seems startled by the action, but doesn't object. He opens the car door for me and I sit there in the passenger seat amazed of how all high tech and shit everything is.

" Where are we going?" I ask.

He starts the engine and we soon drive off. It's thrilling the feeling of being in a car driving way over the speed limit.

" That's for me to know and you to find out,"

I scoff and fold my arms over my chest and turn away like a child. His laugh echoes throughout the car.

" So April what's there to know about you?" He asks.

" Not much," I reply.

He taps on the steering wheel. He's nervous. Welp that's a first.

" You're nervous," I state.

" Usually I don't take girls on dates I usually just um..."

" Fuck em," I finish.

He playfully glares at me and I stick my tongue out.

" I do the same, but honestly I don't think I'm a man slut like you...no offense," I quickly add in at the end.

" Non taken. Now just list a couple things about you and I'll do the same," he says.

I ponder the thought for the moment. Do I really want to tell him my whole life story. Nah.

" My favorite color is blue, my 3 favorite animals are wolves, puppies, and seals, I'm majoring in toxicology, as you can see from before I technically have 4 older brothers well 6 actually if you're counting the two that are in a coma, my favorite food is pasta, and I don't like wearing dresses," I rant.

He looks at me impressed not really asking questions about my brothers thankfully.

" Now you go,"

" Well my favorite color is black...like my soul, my favorite animal is a tiger, I own an engineering company, I have blue eyes...wait that's obvious, my favorite food is also pasta, and a lot of people don't like me," he states while smiling at the end.

" Wow you really take pride in people not liking you huh?" I ask.

" Yup," he smirks.

We soon pull up to a parking lot and once I see where we're out I squeal in excitement and jump into his arms.

" How the fuck did you know I love arcades!" I scream.

He smiles, " I don't know I guess I was taking a risk. Most girls would like a fancy dinner..."

I cut him off, " God no I would hate a fancy dinner trust me this is way better," I exclaim.

We head inside and I'm jumping up and down pointing to the different machines to play. This place has everything. It's a huge warehouse that's endlessly going on and never seems to end. The arcade games and machines are towards the left while going more farther is boiling then to the left is go karting.

" We have to go, Go Karting!"

I drag him to the place to be met by an instructor who explains everything to us. This isn't a kiddy arcade. It's the one where adults go. There's a fucking bar here. Oh god I really need a drink.

After the instructor explains everything to us I get in my kart and he gets in his and we begin to drive. We both swerve around the track determined to beat one another. Turn after turn we go laughing at each other's mistakes.

" You can't beat me princess!" he shouts.

I laugh as he misses a turn and swerves around trying to get back in his lane.

" God you fucking suck!" I shout back.

Once we're done go karting we go to the arcade games playing Pac Man and basketball constantly. We go to the claw machine and it's sad because he's trying desperately to get me the teddy bear from inside. I roll my eyes and push him out of the way putting a quarter in. I move the claw left and pick up the teddy bear and drag it into the open slot. The teddy bear plops down and I hand it to him.

" Keep it," I smile.

A faint blush tints his cheeks and we soon grab a drink from the mini bar and get some fries. Currently we're walking out laughing with one another. Who knew a psycho maniac (I don't even know if he's a maniac) could be really fun.

We get in the car and we drive away. Silence fills the car. Not a awkward silence, but a nice comfortable one. He soon starts to get faster and I hold on to his arm for support.

*SIRENS RINGING IN THE DISTANCE*

We both look at each other and soon the red and blue lights are clear in sight trailing behind us.

" Shit," we say in unison.
