Oh, Ophelia | Tom Riddle

Casino

"Yes, so am I just one of many girls you knew would be here? Is this a regular thing for you?" She asked,

"My father owns the casino," He said, "I'm meant to stay in touch with the clientell,"

"Is that what you are doing right now? Staying in touch with the clientell?" She asked,

"No, I'm flirting with you." He said confidently,

"Flirting with me?" She said and then she laughed, she had a really pretty laugh, "You don't even know my name, darling,"

He loved the sound of that word leaving her lips,

"What is your name pretty girl?" He asked,

"You are going to have to do better than pretty girl if you want my name," She said, and he raised his eyebrows,

"What is your name, gorgeous?" He asked,

"Oh I quite like that word." She said,

"What's your name then?"

"Rose Goldhart."

"What is with the flower themed names?" Asked Ophelia as she paced the living room of her flat where Lolita sat quite leisurely, "How are you so okay with this?"

"Well, Lia, I have been playing with emotions longer than you. I don't have your raw talent but I am far more okay with it than you." Said Lolita looking out the window, "New York is fun though,"

"Yeah, I really like the bagels. Eat one you are full all day," Said Ophelia as she sat down next to Lolita on the couch,

"And the pizza? I was distracting his brother, I think he is gay." Said Lolita,

"Because he wouldn't sleep with you? I hate to inform you of this but not everyone wants to fuck you, babes," Said Ophelia,

"Yes they do," Said Lolita and Ophelia nodded Looking at her,

"Damn it, yes they do. Have you seen yourself?" Asked Ophelia, and Lolita smiled at her.

"How was Tom? You saw him didn't you?" Asked Lolita,

"Really good. I can honestly say we really deserve each other," Said Ophelia, and Lolita laughed lighting a cigarette,

"Yeah cause you cheat people into loving you and he kills people, is a blood supremacist, called you a whore, and lied to you for a really long time. Same thing," Said Lolita sarcastically, and Ophelia took a cigarette and lit it opening a window as she went,

She had to hand it to Grindelwald, he had really good taste in real estate, she was on the upper east side in Manhattan. It was a very nice flat and it was just down the hall from Lolita's.

"Shut up." She said exhaling the smoke,

"You think Carl is going to come looking for you?" Asked Lolita,

"He thinks I'm in LA, or Indianapolis, I doubt he'll even come close." Said Ophelia guilt lacing her tone,

"His movie was taken off the roster for next year," Said Lolita and Ophelia's gaze snapped to hers,

"What?" Asked Ophelia,

"Yeah," Said Lolita, "I think you had a really big influence on his life."

"I know, I just thought the video I left him would-"

"What? Make up for coming into his life, fooling him into loving you and then leaving?"

"Prevent him from fucking up his life." Said Ophelia taking another deep drag of her cigarette, "He came so far."
