Blake

What a night this has already been, winning the award, and the most beautiful girl in the place on my arm as we party the night away. The drinks are going down very easily, and the four of us are all having fun. The girls haven't met before tonight, but they're getting on so well, and Ash is his usual entertaining self. It's my turn to get the next round, so I'm at the bar waiting for my drinks to be made.

"Mr Donovan, long time no see. How the bloody hell are you, mate?" I turn to see an old friend from back home, Matty. I haven't seen him since I left, but we were good mates at school. Very strange for him to call me Mr Donovan, though.

"Hey, Matty. Mr Donovan's my dad, you know that."

"Yeah. But word on the street is you're about to take over, and we all can't wait for that."

"Nope. Where did you get that idea from?"

"The strip. It's been circulating for a while. We need you back, man. Things are starting to get out of hand and your dad's getting on a bit; trusting the wrong type of people."

"I'll be back in a couple of weeks for Amy's wedding. I'll talk to Dad then. But I'm sure he's got it under control. You still getting yourself into trouble with the police?"

"Nah, not for a while now. I'm totally clean. I want to come and work for you lads, when you take over."

I feel an arm wrap around my waist, and I jump, not expecting it. I hadn't realised how tense I was. But talking to anyone from where I grew up will cause that. Especially when Indie's around. I don't trust any of the guys from back home, not even an old mate. You never know who they're working for.

"I was wondering where you got to. Ash wants to play a poker tournament, you keen?" says Indie, nuzzling into my chest.

Matty looks her over, and then turns back to me with a knowing smile on his face. I need to wrap this up. I take our drinks off the bar. "Anyway, man, got to go. I'll catch you later."

"Yeah, man, real soon," he says, eyeing Indie again. I wrap my arm around her and usher her away from him and his creepy glare. I don't like the way other men look at her. Especially men like him.

"Who was that?" asks Indie.

"Just some guy from back home. No one important. Let's go kick Ash's arse in the tournament," We take our drinks back over to where the others are sitting and start the game.

Four hours later, we have just finished the tournament. Ash lost early on. Chloe took him home before he could start a new game at another table. One by one we knocked the other players out, and the last round came down to Indie and me. I thought I had it for sure, but the girl has skills when it comes to poker and took the game.
