Gambling Love

Chapter 3

As I leave the room I walk to the back door of the casino. On the way there, I notice the guy I beat up is still here. I stare at him until he sees me. We make eye contact and he cringes. I internally smile at the effect I now have on him.

I soon reach the back and go out the door. The sun rays hit me like bag of bricks. My eyes are covered by my hand to shield the sunlight. The only way to for me to see is by squinting. I walk a couple steps in front of me until my phone goes off alerting me of a text message. I'm so wrapped up in the words on my screen that I don't hear the door open and close.

"Damn, it's sunny outside." I hear a unfamiliar voice say behind me.

I turn around and come face to face with a tall, black man. He looks about 6'2 with dark brown eyes and a caramel complexion. His hair is curly and he has a smile to die for. This guy is gorgeous no doubt.

"Yeah it is. I'm sweating just standing here" I said.

"Are you sure it isn't my presence that's making you hot?" He responds.

What the hell?

"Um. I'm sure. Who are you?" I say.

"Oh my. Where are my manners? I'm Kyle Harvey. You must be Jocelyn Rivers."

I give him my, how the fuck do you know my name look? He understands my confusion and says, "I have my ways."

I'm a little scared but I don't let him know that. He begins to talk and I take a mental note of the tiny lisp he has.

"I'm a regular here at club and I've been keeping my eyes on you. I wanna get to know you Jocelyn. You're a beautiful woman and have a wonderful personality. Let me take you out on a date this Friday" he said.

"Hell no" I respond.

"Jocelyn, just let me show you a good time. "

"Nigga, I don't know you. This is the first time I have ever seen your face. I know you not regular. I know all the regulars. I don't know how the hell you know me and I honestly don't care" , I retort.

"Jocelyn please", he says with pleading eyes, "I promise you'll have the best time of your life."

I keep giving him this "what the fuck are you still standing here for" look but it doesn't bother him. I don't have time for this anymore. I begin walking in the parking lot to my car, when I hear his footsteps right behind me. This guy cant take a hint.
