I walked confidently down the hallway as I entered the game room, where Luis and several business men, including Mr. Barreck, were about to start a game of poker. Luis gave me a raised eyebrow as I felt my corset tightened to the brim already while I grinned.
"Bet me in." I said, my voice confident.
----
I laughed as they all grumbled while I held out my hand. "Pile it on, boys." I smirked victoriously as they all stacked up their checks in my palm. I flipped through it gloriously as Luis stood next to me. "How did you learn how to play poker?" He said glumly, wrapping his arm around my waist while I looked at him, then cringed slightly.
"My parent's used to always gamble. That was their best feature about my family. Blackjack, poker, bingo, scratch cards, bridge, you name it. Umm..... Let's talk in private." I grabbed his wrist as I led him into my study, quickly ordering Hiromi to dismiss the guests.
I sat down on the couch as Luis sat next to me, pulling me close to him as he laid down his head on my lap, while I stroked his hair.
"Well, I guess I'll tell you about my parent's first meeting each other."
-----
My mother, well, she was a dealer in a casino. Casino JackLuck, as they called it, all the way in America. That's why I don't have much of an accent. My father went there only once, when he was in his rebellious 20's.
That's when he met my mother.
"Put me in, sweetie. I hear your the card of luck." A boy, no man, sat at her table as his red eyes blazed with intention while his dark brown hair flickered over his eyes, too long to be bangs. His grin was flirtatious, and his accent was British.
"Good luck sir." She said, her green hair short and flowy, as her blue eyes sparked with sudden interest. She had a tattoo around her left eye of three black bubbles on the top and bottom of her eye, circling it half-way. She straightened her black tie and smiled. "And I'm not just the card of luck. I'm the ace demon." She commented, as he put down a bet of three hundreds.
All or nothing? she thought, as she flipped over a five of clovers and four of hearts for him, while an ace of hearts and nine of spades flipped for her. "9 to 10. Dealer wins." She simply commented, as she took his coins.
He looked up at her in disbelief as he saw the black horns that lay across her head, while he smirked. "Indeed you are." Her slit black-silk skirt inched slightly above her thighs as her black stockings look tightened, while her black heels clicked behind her. He trailed behind her silently, then got stopped by a man playing roulette.
She grinned as he turned towards the table, then flicked a card towards him, where he caught it in his fingers. She pulled back on her black glove as he looked at her. "Keep the card, darling. Let's play again sometime." He looked astonished at the card then back to where she was standing, as she vanished in thin air.
The card was the ace of hearts, and her name was written in little cursive letters on the bottom of it.
Amelia Ace Armstrong.
The three A's golden dealer.
---------
"Your father married the famous golden dealer that went missing after being in Britain for two years?!" Luis said, surprised as I nodded. "Yes. My mother was Amelia Ace Armstrong, which later on became Amelia Ace Seccureme."
A deep silence stretched across the room as Dillan slowly entered.
"Are you here to talk about Mofe, Dillan?" I said, still looking at Luis. I saw him nod in the corner of my sight.
"Well then, tell us."
