Chapter 25

The song is The Way I Are by Timbaland! I just like writing long chapters now so enjoy it :) Another hot/steamy chapter cause why notttttt.

(Hopes POV)

As Evan and I go to collect our casino chips a guy turned around and ran right into me.

"Hey watch where you're-" I stopped talking as Craig dropped the chips that he had in his hand all over the ground, looking at me the same way that Evan did when he first saw me. His mouth agape a little. He was wearing a nicer suit other than the one he usually wears and dress shoes instead of flip flops.

"Do I really look that bad?" I say laughing a little as I bend down to help pick up the chips off of the ground.

"Holy shit you're taking forever Craig. Hurry the hell up." Brian says as he walks up to Evan and Craig. I look up and see the three of them staring at me. I slowly stand up and hand Craig back the chips that he dropped.

"NO, THAT IS NOT HOPE AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME OTHERWISE! " Brian yells at me. He wears a dark blue suit jacket with a white dress shirt underneath and dark blue dress pants to match.

"Okay, now I'm starting to feel really underdressed now," I say brushing my hair out of my face.

From behind Evan and Brian, I see Brock and Nogla at the slots, laughing with one another. Nogla actually not wearing a paper bag over his head. He has a scruffy black beard and shaggy black hair. I start to laugh and walk over to the two.

(Evans POV)

"You think I had any say in THAT?! You both were there when I said get a dress, she did the rest at her own free will." I say shoving my hands in my pockets as I watch her sit next to Brock. They smile at each other and begin talking.

"I don't think any of us were expecting that though. Just earlier she was fucking taking out people with a machine gun and the next she looks like the sweetest girl in the world. She didn't even do her make up when we had special outings. What's the occasion now?" Brian asks crossing his arms. To impress one of us? No, she wouldn't go that far.

"I don't know about you two, but I'm still trying to process this, honestly," Craig says shaking his head. She moves the hair out of her face again and looks over at the three of us staring at her. She laughs and waves us over. Brock looks over at us before turning over to her and saying something. She laughs again and nods her head.

"Come on! I came to the casino to gamble! Not have people stare at me you know." She giggles and turns to the slot machine and pulls the lever.

I stand behind her chair and watches as she gets at least one diamond, on the line. She cheers as chips drop to the bottom of the slot.

"I mean it's kind of hard not to stare when you look like that and are wearing something like that," Brian says taking the spot next to David. For once I agree with him. She turns and glares at him.

"What the hell is THAT supposed to mean. I thought I looked good." She says standing up from her chair.

"What the dumbass means is you look good Hope," I say. Brian glares at me before going back to staring at Hope. I tap on her shoulder as she turns to look at me.

"I thought you wanted to go play BlackJack? Or we can go to the indoor racetrack. It's your night too." I tell her, changing the subject. She laughs before looking around the casino.

"I need one more drink in me and I'll be on my way." She passes Brian and grabs onto his shoulder, pulling him to indicate to follow her.

"You too Evan and Craig, we're going the make regrettable decisions tonight because I do not care anymore!" She's already starting to have trouble walking in her high heels. Craig and I follow behind the two.
