Charlie returned his attention to the table and the game played out. The other men had folded already watching this most unusual wager play out. The excitement was palpable and the air was thick with tension.

“Straight flush” Charlie said confidently as he laid out one of the highest possible hands in poker.

It looked like I wouldn’t be leaving with the mysterious blue eyed man.

“Straight flush…ace high”

It took me a moment to process what Adam had laid down. The two men had the same winning hand but with an ace as his high card Adam’s hand beat Charlie’s.

“Holy shit” I whispered as the weight of what just happened settled on my shoulders.

Adam kept a straight face the entire time and no one else in the room said a word.

“Would you put these towards my house account” Adam said to the dealer as he stood up from his chair.

With a confident stroll he walked in my direction. I could feel my breathing quicken and a shiver ran up my back. My idle hands fidgeted profusely as he closed the distance and then he stopped directly in front of me. Without ever breaking his gaze he offered his hand.

“Shall we?”

I reached up timidly, putting my small porcelain-like hand into his large powerful grip. He helped me to my feet and then we were off through the door and down the hall which I had just traversed not too long ago. We quickly reached the end of the hall and he led me back out into the casino. Walking across the casino floor I was oblivious to the lights that flashed and buzzed all around me. It was amazing just how different the world felt as I walked through the frenzied activity of the “low-rollers”. If only they knew what was going on behind that nondescript door.

When we finally stopped I saw that Adam had taken us to a quiet bar located just outside the casino floor. The bartender saw us and immediate dropped what he was doing to attend to our order.

“Yes sir, what can I get for you?”

“I will take a scotch on the rocks and a sidecar for the lady. That was what you were drinking right?”

“Um…yes…thanks.”

The fidgeting was getting worse now as I awkwardly tried to figure out what I was supposed to do.

“Well I don’t think we were formally introduced. My name is Adam”

“My name is Bella.”

“Well it’s very nice to meet you Bella. Don’t worry there is no need to be nervous. I am not going to make you go with me tonight. I just wanted to stick it to Charlie in there. I figured I could buy you a drink for your trouble and then you are free to go.”

My body instantly relaxed and I let out a long held breath. Relief flooded through me and yet there was a nagging feeling of disappointment that I couldn’t seem to shake. The bartender delivered our drinks and Adam raised his glass in toast.

“To the best bet I have ever made.
