The Game Played Well

14. It's Just Cards

The window is open, the air is fresh. The sun out and bird are singing. The warmth from the sun touch my skin, turn around and there was this hot man next to me. I like my morning, let me correct that. I LOVE MY MORNING. I got out of bed trying not to wake him up. Went to the bathroom and get ready. Once out the bathroom, he was still sleeping, he must be really tired. 

I went downstairs and made some breakfast. Mostly for him though, because I hardly eat breakfast. I'll be fine with an apple. When I was done cooking, I went to my bedroom with the food and he was walking out the bathroom. 

"Good morning. I made this for you."
"Morning, dear. That is very sweet of you, you didn't have to."
"I did, you help me out yesterday and you look really sleepy."
"True and thank you." He on the couch that was in my room facing nothing. Still no TV in my room, so if we wanted to watch something, my laptop was there. 

"Here you go." I hand him the food and he took it out my hand. He grab my hand and sat me next to him. 

"Where is your food?"
"I don't eat breakfast don't worry about me."
"Take a piece of mine. You need to eat something, if your going on the road."
"No, am fine thanks though."
"Where are you going anyway?"
"I have to get something from downtown, with Danny and Clover."
"Who?"

"My best friends, the guy you saw me with the first night you saw me. That's Danny."
"Oh. That sound like fun. "

I watched him eat and he was still trying to offer me food. Like no, am fine, not hungry. He was all down and he put on his shirt and went his way. I watched him drive off, before going into my car. 

I sat down and realize I don't even know where they want us to meet at. I call Clover, since Danny phone was off, he was out of internet reach. We was meeting at this place near where I use to work at. 

It took me 20 min to get there and there was my besties. Looking annoying as ever. I love these guys. I got out the car and big group hug. If we hugged a little longer we would all pass out. FINALLY AIR! We laughed for no reason at all and walked into this place. It was like a shopping center, with hand made things. 

Never seen this place before and heard of it. We walked pass so many different art work and things. Something caught my eye. There it was, a red, purple, dragon handmade design deck of cards. I think working at a card place for one day, got to me. It was original and I never seen one quite like it before. I ask the dude if I could hold  it and he was like go ahead with a smile. I asked him the price, it was $45. $45 for a deck of cards was quite cheap, for handmade ones. I knew the people here would stay up all night and work on they work. Not everyone now a days are getting credit for it, so I gave him the money and got the cards. I meet up with Danny and Clover who were looking at wooden chairs. 

Walking around for a hour was getting boring and hunger started to kick in. Danny, Clover, and I went to the nearest food place, which was Wendy's. I didn't mind that at all, it's food. Once food, I'll eat it, you can't go wrong with food. 

Before entering Wendy's these three guys was yelling at us. We turned around, because they wouldn't stopped he we continue going in. They came all in our faces. Like excuse me, manners. 

"How may we help you guys?"
"We heard you brought a deck of cards from the shopping canter right there."
"Yes, I did, why may I ask?" 

"We want it."
"That's nice of you, but you should have came earlier to get it."
"Excuse me?" he got little upset.
"Your excuse."
"You don't know who you talking to little girl?"
"Was I supposed to jump?"
"Guys, this chick trying to get to me." He turn to his friends while they just nod away like idiots. This dude must be the leader of the pack.
"Why would I give it yo you anyway?"
"We need the cards to play a games, I don't have to tell you anything. Can we get the cards?"
"NO, sorry, that sound like a personal problem. You can go buy another deck of cards."
"You know what forget it. You going to forget you did this." He and his tails turn around and walked off.

Danny looked at me," What the Hell was that for?"
"I don't know."
Clover looked scared," You should have gave them the card, they look upset."
"Not my problem and I brought the cards,to just hand it to them, because they ask noo. They funny, that's what they are."

Danny open the door to Wendy's and we went inside to eat. Few laughter and conversation and it was time to leave. I couldn't believe those guys really try to scare me for cards. Like not my problem. They really needed to chill, it's cards. 

Me and my friend got out with food in our hands and said our byes. 

**************************************************

Finally, home and open my door to my living room. I sat in the living room and get my phone out my bag to call Steve. Before I could call Steve, something came up. The cards were right there in my bag. I took the deck out and open the box. My eyes wide open. This most be a joke. Behind the deck of cards, was money. I was wondering why the box was big for 52 cards. I just thought the cards were made out of these huge plastic or something. It was $5,000. 

I don't know who was crazier, the guy who sold this for $45 or the three guys that try to get the card off me for free. My mind was now everywhere. The money was still in my hand, until "HONEY, am finally home." My dad walked though the front door, I quickly put it in my bag and the cards too. My dad came over to me and kiss my cheek hello. I smiled back and was just like in a what the f mood. Like what am I going to do. Is this my money? It most be why those guys wanted so bad from me. I started to think and I just gave in and keep the money. Like how was I suppose to know there was money in it. 

I went to my room with my stuff and called Steve. I told him what happen, but not the money part. He laughed and agreed they were crazy. We talked for hours about nonsense, some conversations I don't even know how they got started in the first place. Topic after topic, we finally said night and he was off to bed. I was not, it was 2 am and I had my first day of finals tomorrow. Great. Let me lay here and die in peace, because the finals was gonna do it anyway. 

I got the packet and started to restudy the ones I got wrong and few I also got right. The boredom from these questions, put me to sleep. My face was first in the packet, I knew tomorrow I would wake up in a weird position and neck pain.
