Chap 8 - A Gamble

A/N:     Welcome all to a new chapter! I feel like updates will be anywhere from one to three days depending on how busy I am with my life. Enjoy the chapter!

Husk POV

Angel looks at me in surprise.

"Oh, uh." He thinks for a moment before smiling, "I'd say it was one of my better performances. It was a good song don't you think?" He says proudly, easily changing the focus back to me.

Velvette looks like she could laugh, "It could have been worse."

He seems shocked at my answer but what was he expecting? To get me to react, he's going to have to try harder than that.

"Well, aren't you bright?" He smiles mockingly and I frown.

Velvette just goes on her phone, tuning out of the conversation. "Why do you think you can talk to me like that?"

Angel's smile just widens, "what's wrong? Is the kitty cat getting pissy?" I can tell that Val is his boss now.

I stand abruptly, my chair pushing back. Velvette looks up, "Seriously you two? You guys are like an old married couple." My gaze goes to her and she shrinks back, "Okay, okay! My god, Angel can you stay here?"He gives her a look.

"Don't think Whiskers wants me here Velvette."

She shrugs, "That's your problem, I'm going to grab a drink."

"I can come with you."

"I don't need anyone to come with me." She enjoys this, and she then leaves so it's just me and Angel.

I rub my eyes, "look, I'm too fuckin' tired to deal with this shit today."

He just purses his lips, "you have any liquor? Wait, never mind, of course you do, you're a gambler."

He starts looking around and my gaze just follows him.

"So... are you going to show me where I can get a drink?" I roll my eyes.

"You want me, an overlord, to make you, a bitchy pornstar, a drink?" His eyes narrow at the accusation.

"Yes."

I laugh without emotion, "No."

"Hey, looky here whiskers." He stomps over to me staring down at me with anger in his eyes, "You make me that drink!"

I stare at him with amusement, "Oh yeah? And what are you going to do about it? Use more of the fabric that I deliberately gave to Velvette?" I take a step forward menacingly and he takes a step back, "try to force me into thinking you're real?... Go to your boss?"

That's when he snaps, "I get it! You're angry, I just want a drink."

I give a short laugh, "Angry? No, this is all amusing dear Angel. I'll make you a drink but what do I get?"

His expression suddenly changes, "I can suck your dick?"

I groan, "go fuck yourself."

"If I do, will you watch me?" He takes a step closer and I push him to the ground with my wings.

"I'll get you that fucking drink, just never say that shit again, dipshit." I hear him cackle behind me as I head through the archway to the small bar that's up here.

He comes over to sit at the bar and I sigh. "You gotta couch?"

I turn around to look at him, "what?"

His eyes watch my hands as they mix liquor to make his drink. "Do you have a couch?"

I snort, "What kind of casino doesn't have a couch? There's one behind you."
