ME AND HIM ✔️

Pt. 19

Rue's POV

THE RIDE to the casino was awkward, but everyone looked amazing.

Aniyah was wearing a white satin dress, that reached down to her mid thigh, she was accompanying it with some cute, white strapy heels. Her short wavy hair was down, she had soft makeup, just some lipgloss, mascara, and a light yellow eyeshadow. Under her dress, around her thigh, Aniyah had a series of throwing knives. In her purse, she has two guns, fully loaded.

Diego and Alex were both wearing button ups, Diego's being black, and Alex's being white. Diego wore black ripped jeans, and some white air forces. Alex had on plain black jeans with some black converse. I guess he didn't get the memo of the fact that we're going to a casino. Diego had a gun hidden in the strap of his pants. Alex had two knives strapped with velcrow on both his forearms.

Unlike Diego and Alex, Nadine had the whole,suit. A white button up with a black tie. A black dress coat and black dress pants. Paired with black dress shoes. His hair was slicked back a bit. He looked like the black haired version of Leonardo Decaprio. Also more tanned.

Kaylee had on a brown dress that hugged her curvs. The dress had straps that lazily hanged off her shoulders. She had some simple black heels on and her long black hair was tied up in a neat bun. She had a brown smoky eye, and nude lipstick. She has poison darts. Scary, I know.

I had the black dress I chose earlier, and some white flats. And like I said earlier, I am not about to wear high heels. It's a miracle us girls are wearing dresses while the guys have suits. Nadine refused to give me a weapon.

"We can't all go in together." Nadine adjusts a bit in his seat. "It'll look suspicious. Me and Rue will go in together. Kaylee and Diego, and then Alex and Aniyah. Just act casual. And don't drink too much, we want to be able to think properly."

We all nodded our heads in agreement. Although I'm still a little upset about what Nadine said to me earlier.

"Now like I said before, I have a few of my men in here who will be watching us at all times. And I'm sure Ivan's men will be here as well."

The limo comes to a stop and soon the door is opened for us to step out and begin our night.

Kaylee and Diego go in first. We wait a couple of minutes before letting Alex and Aniyah join them inside.

After an awkward 5 minutes, Nadine steps out of the car and holds his hand out for me to grab. As mad as I am, I put my hand in his as he pulls me out. The tip of my head reaches his mid chest area. I'm not short, he's just too tall. I hug my coat close to my body, the snow starts to get a bit heavier. I stick my tongue out and catch a little bit of snow. The snow immediately melts.

"You look nice" He whispers ever so lightly, that if I wasn't paying attention, I would have missed the compliment.

"You don't get to tell me how nice I look," I walk off without him and head towards the door. I hear him scoff from behind, but I ignore.

The 'casino' didn't look like one at all. It looked like a strip club with a few games scattered around. Other than that, it smelled like expensive perfume and wine.

There were infact dancers on the stage performing for a few of the men at the front. This is so different for me. I wasn't used to partying with people I didn't know.

The casino has an 80's vibe, and I'm not complaining. I enjoyed the jazz music that was playing. I love how dim they kept the lights.

"Ivan is here." Nadine says blankly. every time Nadine moves, I can slightly see his gun.

"We don't have to do this if you don't want to." I tried to be reassuring. I really did. But he just doesn't care.

"We're doing this."

Nadine's POV

I wasn't scared, I was nervous. Not nervous about how tonight might play out, but nervous at the fact that my parents may not even be alive. And I would be doing this for nothing.

"Let's get a drink."I grab Rue's hand lightly and lead her to the bar.

"I thought you didn't want us to drink" she whispers.

"I said not too much. Plus we need to look casual." I lead her over to the bar. My hand is still holding hers as she takes a seat on the stool.

"I don't want to drink with you," she snatches her hand and turns her head away from me.

"что я могу принести вам сегодня вечером, сэр? " The bartender asks, interrupting us.
(Translation: What can I get you tonight, sir?)

"принеси мне вишневую водку и немного самогона"
( Translation: Get me a cherry vodka and add a dash of moon shine)

"а дама?" He nods his towards her.
( translation: And the lady?)He nods his towards her.

I laugh a bit, "Получите ей девственную пина-коладу"
(Translation: Get her a virgin piña colada)

He nods his head and starts making our drinks.

I look over to see Rue's gaze fixated on her brother. She cares about him a lot. You can see it in her eyes, but at the same time, she wants nothing more than for him to leave her alone.

I wish I still had siblings.

"Вот вы где, сэр" He puts down the cherry vodka with a lime and a salt shaker in the side. And then the Piña colada is passed over to Rue.
(Translation: Here you are, sir)

She doesn't drink it. She just stares at it as if she'll find something inside.

"As soon as they give the signal, I want you to go to the room I had told you about earlier" I whisper in her ear. I see goosebumps begin to form on her pale porcelain skin.

"Okay." She says blankly.

I look over to Diego and Kaylee. They're both in position. Diego looks over to me and nods his head. I nod, and then, the lights turn out.
