Cards

Scott sighs with content as Katie takes the dishes away. “Mm, thanks, Katie. That was the best meal I’ve had in ages.”

As Katie returns with the deck of cards and the first words are out of her mouth, Scott almost chokes on his yawn, his eyebrows shooting up. Katie predicts his reaction though, and he shuts his mouth, trying to register just exactly what it was that she was suggesting.

“First off…” He squints and points a finger at her. “I’d like to know how you knew I like to play poker. And second…” He pauses, thinking for a moment or two. “I forgot what my second point was. It had something to do with kissing I think…” Something tells him that he should be starting to get embarrassed over something, but feeling just a weebit high from the drugs, he simply shrugs. “Sure, why not. I wouldn’t recommend letting Domino play though. Not only does she cheat, but receiving a kiss from her isn’t all that pleasant. You, on the other hand…”

Scott lets his statement drift off, having just enough sense to let it stop there. Cringing just a little at his movement, he pulls himself up straighter, throwing off his blanket to sit cross legged. He picks up his cards, shuffling them around in his hand. Furrowing his brow, he tries to think clearly enough to play wisely, though it’s quite the task. Finally he has to reveal his hand, and throws his cards down face-up. “Full house.”
