Leather, Sand, and Blood

Beach Nights

Lorelai walked along the boardwalk in a slow pace, enjoying the cool breeze that brushed over her bare shoulders and calfs, the only annoying part was that her long skirt would wrap itself around her legs, though that was better then having it fly up on her. She kept close to the shops this night, enjoying the lights warming her skin plus the window shopping that she was getting done was amazing, each shop featuring its own items. She would have rather stayed close to the railing, but it seemed like it was the hot spot for smokers and young couple to make out, two things that she really didn't want to be around at the moment, though she would pick the smokers over the couples. Lorelai thought back to the few times that she actually tried a cigarette, the first two times she was drinking with her friends and she really didn't know what she was doing, but the other two times it was to just calm her nerves down.

As she walked farther down the boardwalk, Lorelai heard music playing softly ahead, a gentle cheerful tune that didn't quite fit in on this boardwalk. She paused at the carousel at the end of the boardwalk, eyes widening at the small ride. When she saw it during the day, she didn't even know that it still worked and if she was being honest it was a bit crappy looking, but at night it was absolutely beautiful. While it was a little run down, the paints on the horses were faded and chipped to where they almost pastel colors, the metal poles were shinny from the wear they acquired over the years, the music playing softly over the roar of people yelling and laughing.

It took the ride two full rotations before she finally noticed the bikers from the night before, all of them moving on the rides platform, eyeing people as they laughed and swung between the horses. Honestly, Lorelai was shocked at how graceful they appeared as they moved, each fully aware of their bodies, of the balance that they had; she knew that if she so much as took a small step she would go flying to the ground. She was able to look at the boys now more closely since their eyes weren't on her every move. Hell, they didn't even know that she existed at the moment, which allowed her the room to breath, unlike the night before where she felt trapped by their gazes, the same ones that she could only meet in the sketches that she had done this morning. Taking a small glance around, she noticed that every girl around her age were staring openly at the boys, all of them dressed in barely there clothing, something that caused her to roll her eyes at before settling at the boys again, though not being too obvious at looking. Or at least she hoped it wasn't too obvious. There were just four of them at the moment, and each one was more complex than she first imagined now that she was able to see them under some lights.

The platinum blond with blue eyes had a predatory smirk on his face, those icy eyes of his scanning past every person slowly, calculating, almost as if he was trying to figure something out. There was a sense of power that radiated out from him, causing the people he pasted to straighten up and move to let him move past them. The second boy behind him was almost the exact opposite in appearance; his dark hair flowed out behind him in straight strands, his dark eyes matching his frown on his face. Instead of power, he gave off a sense of intimidation, a look of fear crossed peoples faces when they saw him, they averted their eyes as to not accidentally meet his. The blond behind him had long, wild locks of hair, and though it looked like it wasn't brushed, it was maintained, like he styled it that way. He smirked at every girl that he passed by, winking a blue eye that caused them to blush and laughed crazy at every guy he passed who glared, overall his joy just spread to everyone he was near, even if he was being a dick to some. The last one had longish curly blond hair and seemed the most hesitant out of the others. He stayed towards the back of the group, trying not to stand out from everyone else in any way. His green eyes were shifting between peoples faces and then over his friends, smiling behind his thumb whenever the wild blond looked back at him but his hand and smile would drop when no one was looking.
