Forbidden from the start

chapter 38

" Come on ! Bring it to me !" The redhead screams as he bets almost all his money to the table

After an hour and too many shots , I decided to sit here and try something new , poker.

Who knew that I would be good at it ?

Around us there's too many people laughing and cheering for me to take all his money .

" Ladies first " i say cockily feeling my face relax more cause of the too much alcohol

He throws me a smile thats saying " you're gonna regret this " and the throws his last five cards

I look at his kicker cards and make a fake wince look .

But he doesn't know that I keep an ace up my sleeve .

" Oh damn " i exhale and hold my head with my left arm to show my desperation " You got me " I throw my hands up in the air bringing my five cards with them , shrugging my shoulders

He interlocks his arms on each other and his smile reaches his ears .

Then I bring Down my hand with force and throw my cards on the table .

" Almost " I say as his eyes go straight to the higher kicker card

His smile drops and the people around start to cheer for me .

" Fuck " he screams then buries  his head into his hands

" Sorry !" I say laughing " another time "

" You're a good one " he says while pointing me with his fingers

I give him a nod . I can't help my cocky smile on my face .

I place my back on my chair and i feel some cold hands on it , that making me shiver .

I notice some people stare behind me and I turn my head back to see what they're looking at.

Even looking upside down  and being drunk I can understand who it is .

Jacob.

He is standing behind me with his hands on the back of the chair and a not so happy look on his face .

Well ,that's a first .

" Having fun ?" He asks tilting an eyebrow

He's going to have many wrinkles on his forehead because he does that face so much .

" Actually yes " i reply still feeling the adrenaline form before

" Well sorry to brake it to you but we gotta go " he says leaving my sight

I bring my head up and turn my whole body around seeing him get lost through the crowd.

" Um .." I mumble standing up already feeling dizzy from the shots " Bye guys I'll see you " i wave not looking at them and hurry my steps in order to reach him

For a minute I thought I lost him , but then I saw him in the kitchen with an already lit up cigarette and a bottle of whiskey on his hands .

" I thought we were about to leave " i say approaching him

" And i thought that when you have a phone you're supposed to pick it up when someone calls you " he says while taking a sip out of that bottle

I quickly get my phone out on my pocket seeing four missed phone calls form him and two from Aaron .

I look at him apologetically .

" we both thought wrong then " he finishes as he puts the bottle aside
