"Saying "I love you"
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say but if you only knew
How easy, it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say...

"Oh, she's gonna kill us"
⋆⁺₊⋆ ⋆⁺₊⋆
The beer and pizza orders are on their way. We were putting the poker chips and shuffling the cards. I was starting as the dealer when suddenly Rachel got a call and not less than five minutes she started screaming and jumping.
"Guys! Guess what, guess what, guess what!" some of the cards I was arranging fell due to all of her yelling that made me jump a little...just a little.
Chandler let a tiny laugh and answers Rachel in the stupidest but for some reason funniest way.
"Um, ok... the... the fifth dentist caved and now they're all recommending Trident?"
Ok that was funny, but my ego could ever. Rachel sent him a glare.
"Noooo... the interview! She just called and she loved me! She absolutely loved me. And a bonus is that we have the same taste in clothes, and – oh, I went camping with her cousin... And, oh, the job is perfect. I can do this. I can do this well!"
Everyone was so excited for her – for the little knowledge I have is that she's trying to discover herself and stop depending on her dad's money. Crazy but hey everyone wants independence, that's what I'm doing here in the first place.
"I'm so proud of you and that's great! Let's play poker." Monica says, changing the tone in her voice.
"Guys now I remember we talked about it, and if you don't want to play, we completely understand." Joey starts taking away the cards I had JUST organized – "Oh yes, yes, we could play some other game... like, uh, I don't know... Pictionary?" chandler suggest.
The guys all duck under the table like making fun of the three girls...not me, they don't know me.
"Ha, ha, very funny, very funny. But I think we'd like to give poker another try. Shall we, ladies?"
the girls were ready to fight them, and I honestly have no clue if they know how to play it, poker it's very tricky and I'm not willing to lose money to a bunch of bloody men.
"Excuse me, do any of you know how to play?" Ross gives the cockiest expression ever.
"I know" everyone putting their focus on me "you know some things here and there"
Chandler gave me a challenging look
"Ok, let's draw the cards" Chandler was going to pick the dealer chip, but we know that wasn't going to happen.
"I'll be the dealer" I tell him with the bitchiest look ever. He raises an eyebrow and gives the chip to me.
"Uh, do you want me to shuffle those?" chandler was about to pick the deck of cards but again, I wasn't going to let that happen.
"No, no, that's OK. Y'know, I think I'm gonna give it a go"
"Alright."
"Alright..."
Just wait like five minutes and read how I make this boys cry while I take all their money, I hope they let me play again...meh.
I shuffled the cards expertly and all the guys, even the girls, stared at me with amusement.
"Oh, she's gonna kill us" phoebe whispers.
"Alright, Cincinnati, no blinds, everybody ante." I say while giving the cards to everyone.
"Yes!"
Phoebe says while looking at her cards and everyone stares at her
".... or no."

"I'm out, I hate this game" Monica yells
"Me too" everyone got out except for me and Bing.
"Alright, whattaya got." I was excited to see Bing's face dropped when he sees what I got
"Well, you better hop outta the shower, cause... I gotta full house"
Well, my face dropped
"I- I don't know what to say... I think you better hop back in bucko... 'cause I got a royal flush" I had the biggest smile on my face, that tiny percent of hope in his face literally made my night.
"that's impossible" Bing was starstruck
"Dude the lady got some skills" joey starts laughing at Chandler.
All the girls were cheering on me, and I couldn't be happier. Seriously their happiness is contagious.
"Another round mister trident?"
"You bet"

Some more rounds passed and at this point I think I could pay my rent with their money.
"So, Pheebs owes $25, Ross, you owe $31.50, and Bing, you owe fifteen big ones. You know at this point I think I'm leaving you 0.00 in that bank account"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever – you prove your point, not only to us but I think Danny Ocean even knows you are a 'master' in poker" he was so bothered, I love it.
"That's music in my ears, and I'm a hundred percent more talented than Ocean" I finished my beer and notice it was 12 am
"Guys it was a pleasure leaving you poor believe me, but I'm tired and if you excuse me, I need some sleep"
Everyone agree and as I was leaving joey stops me
"Hey where did you learn how to play so well poker, at start you seem like didn't have a clue"
"Yeah, that's called bluffing. Back in London my university had a poker night club and we all played there with an old man that have this big bar"
"Cool, if you could teach me somet- "someone cut him off, and by someone, I mean Bing
"blahagwha" he makes a weird sound
"Sorry I didn't hear, I'm busy carrying your money"
"Funny you know I let you win"
"Yes, cause a grown man will waste $50 for fun"
He was going to say something, but I just turned around and left him with the word on his mouth. It's exhausting to always win.
