Monochrome Relationship

It's a Good Day

The board had both a Jack of Diamonds and Jack of Clubs, a Queen of Clubs and a 10 of Clubs. Within his hands, he got a 9 of Clubs and a King of Clubs. "You make the call, Luke." Luke here mumbled "I forgot I was still playing." He looked at his front, not seeing the big blind chip. "Where'd I put the piece again?"

"Here." The man slid the chip to him. "Just call it already, I wanna go home."

"If you wanna go home, then just fold already. You just lost money here, mister 'Big Man Jackson'."

"Hey, hey, hey." Jackson raised his hands. "I didn't think I'd lose it, ya know? Thought Lady Luck was on my side."

"You're just gonna get it back, Bossman. Don't sweat it." The man with the 9 and King on his hand said to him, tapping on the small blind chip. Jackson leaned into the table, facing him. "James, don't say that as if you're not the one that's taking my money."

"Eyeyeyey! I'm just filled with the luck you didn't get! Not my fault that I sucked it outta you." he laughs.

"He's right, you know?"

"Shut up, Arthur. I know you'll agree with him because he's your employer." The dealer uttered out "Call your bets now. Final card." to get them back to the game.

"Ah, right." Luke threw in a black chip. "Another hundred."

"Raise it to 200." James said, putting in 3 more orange chips. Looking over his hand, Jackson said "Dammit." He folded afterwards.

"How about you, Luke?" Said man looked over his hand. He smiles. "Call." He put in another black chip. The dealer drew a card and he pulled out a lucky Jack of Hearts.

"Show 'em." Arthur said, both flipping their cards. Luke said "Four of a kind.", showing his Jack of Spades and an 8 of Hearts. With a wide grin, James showed him his cards and said "Gotcha."

He got a straight flush. With disbelief in his eyes, Luke said "Holy fucking hell. You're cheating. Nah, I don't believe this shit."

"He wasn't. We checked if someone had decks in them since that's used a lot. Didn't have one." Jackson told him. "Which still is absolutely bullshit, how in the hell did you get those hands?"

"Told you, Jackson." He stood from the table. "I got the luck you needed. I'm going to check out now, if that's fine with you."

"Yeah, yeah. Fuck you too." Groaning, Luke asked "What time is it?" Checking on his watch, Arthur said "Uh, around 2 o'clock."

"TWO?! Jesus Christ, I need to go home."

"Check your money out too, you don't want to forget about that." James said, taking the chips. Leaning to the man, Jackson whispered "Why did ya havta say that? It coulda saved me money and you coulda won more or some shit."

"Wouldn't be fair, you know?"

"Aight, aight. Fine. Now get the fuck out, I need my fucking sleep."

"Indeed." He was now walking to the counter, calling out "Go faster, Arthur. We're gonna fucking go now." He finished his drink, saying "I'm coming, I'm coming." James poured out the chips he got, which was about 5000. Five thousand doubloons.

"Christ almighty, I got a lot."

"Don't get too much."

"This is part of your salary now, since you didn't even get something that could be like two grand."

"Yeah, haha."

Pointing at him, James said "Don't you fucking laugh. You folded a lot and you lost me my money."
