I was walking up and down the casino floor. I was greeting regulars and even some who were new to my boyfriend's casino. As I walk past I stop an employee who was carrying drinks. After looking at the drinks she hands me a strawberry-rosé spritzer. "Here ma'am, it has low alcohol if that's what you were looking for." I nod and take the glass and thank her before allowing her to continue to make her rounds.
I took a sip as I walk and glance around till I was stopped by another employee. He beckons my closer and whispers in my ear. My eyes widen before becoming sharp in a glare. "Oh hell no. Not in this casino." I say and hand him my drink. I storm off to the blackjack table and I heard the faint whisper from him; "my lord have mercy on the boy."
I made it to the table and walk up to the dealer but not before paging my boyfriend that we had a code red at the blackjack table. "Hello madam, lovely evening we are having." The dealer says and I smile nodding softly. His eyes shift to the boy in front of him who seemed to be doing pretty well so far. I nod and struck up conversation. "Hello sir, enjoying yourself?" I ask and he nods.
"Hm good, good. We aim to keep people entertained...Now you know cheating is banned from this establishment right?"
"what do you mean?" He asks and I smirk "we especially don't like when people count cards." I say with a knowing smile and he went wide eyed "I wasn't counting-" "really? Because an employee told me different and even the dealer confirmed it with a simple glance." He stood up abruptly and points a finger at me. "I was not! Even if I was what proof do you have!"
"Cameras."
I smile as the boy turned to look at my boyfriend Karamatsu, who had a stern look, made more intimidating with the cigar in his mouth.
"We have cameras all around here and two witnesses who caught you cheating. We don't take kindly to cheaters. Not in my casino." He says with puff of smoke before he turned to stare him up and down. He got in the boy's face "are you even old enough to be in here?" He says with a glare and I smirk "I don't think he is sweetheart." I say and he smiled.
"Well then" he took a drag of his cigar, puffing it out in the boy's direction. The boy coiled back in disgust. "Let's make a deal. We can either contact the police and have arrested..or get out of my casino and don't come back. Choice is yours really." He says with his arms crossed and the boy leaves with a blush of embarrassment. I smile and walk over to hug my boyfriend. He hums and smiles before hugging me back with one arm, the other held his cigar in hand.
He tilts my head up and kissed me. My nose crinkles a little at the scent of cigar smoke but after a while I got used to it. We pull away and walk the floor together. "Don't you think blowing in his face was a little mean?" I ask and he chuckled. "Maybe. Though he cheated in a building with no tolerance for that darling." He says patting me on the head. "Thanks for alerting me hon." He says and I blush.
"It was nothing. Just my job..and I didn't want anyone cheating in my boyfriend's casino." I say and look up to see Ichimatsu practically glaring at the people on the machines. I sigh and turn to Karamatsu "your brother takes his job too seriously though." I whisper in his ear and he laughs softly. "Yeah, but it's helpful when he actually catches someone breaking rules. He goes insane." He says with a laugh.
I smile and kiss his cheek. He smiles and took a drag before puffing it out. I blush as the smoke ring formed a heart. "How do you do that?" I ask and he smiled "lots of practice. When I found out I could do it though, I knew you'd find it amusing." He says as he tossed the cigar out, I blush and shudder at his use of english. He smirks "oh what's wrong darling?" He asks and I blush harder "stop that please." I say and he smiles.
"Oh? Why? Does my english fluster you?" He asks and I nod. "Oh really? How cute." My mouth forms a line and I turn around, walking away but he followed and walked by my side. "Would you prefer if I spoke french, mon chéri?" I look at him with wide eyes "oh you didn't know I could speak french did you?" He asks and I blush trying to walk away but he grabbed my wrist. He pulled me back into a hug with a twirl.
"Don't walk away mon tendre. I was only teasing. Though you look adorable with that blush on your face." I smile softly and kiss him. We pull away and with limited french skills I say "Je t'aime Karamatsu." He smiled softly while caressing my cheek. "je t'aime aussi mon ange" I tilt my head and he leaned in to whisper in my hear.
"Translates to I love you too my angel."
