Type: Idrk to be honest with you
"I still don't see why I'm coming..it's your anniversary,plus I'm practically a third wheel" a purple haired male rolled his eyes
"Oh coke on Zander! It will be fun!" Jake said looking at Haley who also nodded "plus!" He added,raising his finger in the air, "it will help you get over that jerk Jasper" he smirkedZander just turned away in the car and ,I'm response Haley piped up and agreed
"Yeah Zander you may find someone cute! Who is also on holiday!" She smiled "come on,lighten up,I promise we will make time for you. me and Jake had an anniversary dinner the other day,this is just an add on" She smiled,patting her brothers back
"Okay,I'm only enjoying this because I've been asked not to spoil an anniversary add on " he laughed.

Zander followed her teal haired sister through the casino ,
On their first light they wanted to take a trip to the casino,just to do some games,it is vegas after all!
"Haley?" Zander called,losing sight of her sister. "Jake? Haley!" He called out again. After no response he shrugged it off,he has his room key if he doesn't enjoy it in the next half an hour,he'll go back up. Plus, they probably want their Aline time anyway,I'd feel like the biggest third wheel ever watching those two have drinks and play slots together.
The pianist went over to a chip exchange stand(idk what happens in a casino tbf just guessing and going off of movies and shows) and exchanged $7 he had in his pocket for chips as a laugh.
He went over to a table ,sitting on the tall stool,and unenthusiastically slid $7 worth to the dealer.may as well go all in when it's only seven bucks, right?"Not much of a casino guy ,huh?" The man said over the counter,his voice deep.
"No ,I'm just here cuz of my sisters stupid anni..." he trailed off and looked at the dealer.
He was gorgeous.
He smiled at Zander,small dimples showing on his tan skin. He was attractive as hell.
The standard uniform made his presumably buff features very visible,and his Rolled up sleeves confirmed that.
"Ah I see" he replied as he swiftly shuffled the deck of cards and placed two infront of the purpled haired boy face down."So,Luke" he said,reading his name tag. "You do that funny interpreting people thing often? You seem to have a knack for it." He flipped a card over.
"Yeah, when you've been doing the job for about a year as a side hustle for uni debt you learn the usuals and the oddballs" he dealt himself his cards,also face down.
"Oh really?" He flipped another over. 16.
"And who am I?"
"Hit me""You didn't want to come on this trip", he smirked ,dealing the man another card "it's obviously a family thing,or a couple thing and you got dragged along cuz they didn't wanna leave you,possibly cuz your going through a rough time. "
A 4 of diamonds. 20"Hmmm I see,you do have a knack."
"Stick"The dealer flipped over his cards
"Like I say, you learn"
"18 you win""Learn?"
"Yes" he dealt himself another.
"You read a press ions and body language,it something I find interesting"
A 7
"Bust"The man slid double the chips over to the ombré haired man.
He looked up at the player,who,in his eyes,was pstunning. Fluffy, purple hair,a pale complexion that highlighted the brightness of his eyes. Not the worst person to choose his table.
"Your cute" he said,shuffling the cards again, "another?""Me?! Cute?" He said ,taken aback by the statement.
"Yes"
"Well..thank you,likewise" he paused for a moment,watching the man shuffle the cards.
"And yes,another ,for $4""What a peculiar response, 'likewise" he said,chucking to himself as he dealt the cards once again.
"Say a peculiar thing, get a peculiar response"
An ace.
"Peculiar?""Yes, it was very sudden,and immoral plus,I'm assuming you have a girlfriend?"
An ace and a four. Sh**. It's a 5 or a 15
"Hit me""No,did. she thought that seeing the frat boy next door as well as me was okay."
He dealt another.He flipped it. A five of clubs. A 10
"Oh..well I'm sorry about that, I shouldn't have assumed"
"Hit me"He dealt another ,looking inching closer this time
"It's ok,she was a right piece of work anyway,she didn't believe anything I ever said,or did,she took my phone for 1 week straight the once""Well, it's not my place to say but she sounded like a right bi**h. And it's probably best your not with her now."
I flipped it
A seven.
"Stick""Yeah,I guess"
He flipped his
A ten of hearts."I'm having trouble finding someone else though at the moment,I don't live near here so it's hard to find someone who is willing to do the commute and isn't like her."
He flips again
An ace of spades.
"Black Jack""Fair game" Zander says as he slides his tokens
"Also, where about are you based then?" He said leaning on the table"Rosemedow, ********, I'm there for university (couldn't think of a state soz guys)
"No way!" The pianist gasped "me too! Well,not there but like a train away!"
"Oh nice!" He smiled ,a shade of red on his face
"Another?" He said,shuffling the cards.He pondered for a moment,before shaking his head.
"No,I think I'm gonna exchange my winnings for a lovely looking white spritzer at the bar over there" he joked,as he got up."I see. Well ,just ,before you go y know. A fact about me" he said,exchanging the chips for money at his counter across from him.
"I get off at 10" he slid the money over to him,smirking.
"And I think" he said,taking a sip from his water at his station. "I think..I'm going to go to the ground floor bar afterwards,to unwind, just thought that was interesting.I do get drinks discount as an employee.""It is. Very interesting"
"Indeed"
——————
The purple haired male sat at the bar. He had changed,but not massively,he changed his shirt to a short sleeved one and put a jacket on instead,and changed his tie to black.
He did wonder if this was all just a joke to get him to look stupid in front of the staff, but,it was worth a shot.and it was an excuse to get out of theirs wheeling again.About 7 minutes after ten,a man sat next to him and spoke: "hm. Interesting"
Zander turned around and it was Luke.who ,was now changed,which is what took him so long probably. And ,now he was nearer,the sweet smell of his aftershave/cologne was alluring him in.
"Interesting indeed" he giggles,bringing the drink to his mouth.Vegas wasn't so bad after all.
