Today has been nothing but stressful and all I could look forward to in order to keep my cool was the Poker game we all played every Thursday Night with a bunch of my guys among other friends of mine at a fairly new club of ours.

Markus was supposed to be here already but I knew he had to have been wrapping things up still at the job I told him to do earlier.

Moments after we were finished with a second round of Poker, we noticed the door open and in walked both a laughing Markus and Frankie? What was SHE doing here?

Ever since Hayes assured me that she didn't know about us in what all we did, I felt relieved and I had wanted to keep it that way. However, yet, here she is! Again, why the hell was she here?!

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late but I brought Frankie with me!" He says while he grabs her a chair near the table but off to the side a little bit, near his seat.

"Frankieeee!!" Most greeted her with a 'what's up' nod.

"Hey guys." She says with a smile.

I notice right away the outfit she is wearing and how flattering and complimenting it is to her every curve. Shit, why am I checking her out?! I quickly shake out any dirty thoughts in my head and go back to the game.

I try and ignore the fact that she is here and continue to play by raising the bet by $200. The rest of the guys match. Then the moment comes to reveal our cards and like the majority of the time, I won.

So I gathered all the money from the middle of the table, then start to shuffle the cards before next dealing them out.

"Hold up. I want in on this round." Markus exclaims before he takes out some cash.

"Hey man, can you grab me a drink?!" One of the guys jokes with Markus.

"I'm not your old lady or waitress, get your own damn drink." He fires back while grabbing his cards.

There was only one waitress tonight for a room full of twenty guys and she was running around like crazy.

"Here, I can bring you all a drink if you want." We heard Frankie offer.

She doesn't have to do that. She is not a waitress and as nice of a gesture that is to offer, she shouldn't do that.

"He has two legs to do it himself if he doesn't want to wait for the waitress." I mention.

"Really though, I don't mind." She started but I snapped at her and wished I hadn't because I didn't mean to come off to her so cold and rude.

"No! You aren't the waitress or what Markus said, his 'old lady'. You should be sitting down and playing with us, in fact." I tell her.

"Yeah, I just like fucking with Markus." The guy winks at her and laughs while getting up and heading towards the bar after getting everyone their drink orders.

"You play Poker?" Markus asks her.

"Not really." She shakes her head.

"It's a lot of fun. Here, you should sit in my place and play." The guy that sat next to me who had gotten up to grab something to drink says before he returns back with several drinks.

"Oh no, it's okay." She laughs a little.

"Come on." All the guys egged her on.

She finally agreed to sit down and play in the seat beside me.

After taking a seat, she began taking out some money from her wallet.

"Put that away. Just use his money." I tell her.

"Thanks but I have my own. Besides, it isn't right to gamble with others money." She exclaims.

"Well in this game, your money is no good." I try and assure her.

"Yeah, it's no big deal if you lose the money." The guy said.

"Okay." She eventually agreed.

She next picked up the hand of cards he had and I asked her if there were any that she wanted to trade in. She nodded then handed me two and fanned out her cards in her hand in front of her face while covering them so none of us could see.

"It's your bet." I tell her.

"Okay." She says and looks down at the pile of money that is to the side of her on the table and before placing it in the pile, she asks how much the bet is.

"It's $100." I replied.

"I'll see your $100 and raise you another $100." She states. "I have always wanted to say that." She giggles a little bit.

I love her little laugh/giggle. It's really adorable and cute.

Next we all put some more money in the pile and then it finally comes down to everybody revealing their cards. We all lay our cards down and as soon as I believe I have won, I hear her say something.

"Wait. Is this good?" She asks me and shows us her hand which happens to be a Royal Flush.

Holy shit! Did she seriously just beat me?! She doesn't even know how to play for crying out loud! Damn, it's very rare that anyone beats me.

Right now everybody is in shock just as much as I am and so I decide to break the awkward silence that is starting to occur.

"Congratulations! Here ya go!" I tell her while grabbing the pile of money.

"Wow!" She smiles as she takes the money then looks at the guy whose place she took and tells him how much she won for him.

He laughed and told her to keep the money. It was her playing, she needs to keep it.

Hmmm, this girl is very interesting and full of surprises I must say.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
