definitely enjoying my luck while it lasts!” Giving them an impish grin I
shake the dice and blow on them for luck. “Let’s go baby!!” I shout as I toss
the dice onto the table.
Giving
us a puzzled look, Jax is asking us without having to speak, what are we
doing in Vegas?
“We
came to surprise Kayden. Don’t even ask how that went, because I’d rather not
relive that nightmare.” I huff out as sadness momentarily clouds my good mood.
Forcing a smile, I push the negative thoughts away, and focus on the fun we’re
having in the casino.
The
excitement around me is explosive and contagious. We’re drawing attention from
everyone around us at the roulette and black jack tables. I notice an older
gentleman holding his phone up snapping pictures of us, and I decide to give
him something to sell to the press. Spinning around, I grab Brooklyn and give
her a quick peck on the lips. All the alcohol I’ve been downing has turned into
liquid courage. We’ve made out enough times in College to get a rise out of the
frat guys to not faze her at all.
Jax’s
face is priceless. His jaw dropped, and his eyes slide from me to Brooklyn as
he sucks in a sharp breath. I can’t stop my giggling fit as I take in his
shocked expression. I spin around to the guy taking my picture and blow him a
kiss. There…now go sell that story, douchebag.
“Mmm…Berry
lip-gloss.” I laugh running my tongue over my lips.
Letting
out a small chuckle, Brooklyn lets go of her hold on Jax and wraps her arm
around my shoulder. “You sure gave him something to talk about.” She laughs, tilting
her head towards the guy snapping the picture, and rolling her eyes. “It’s been
way too long girly since you graced my lips with yours!” This time we both
can’t help but burst out laughing.
Clearing
his throat, Jax drags his eyes from us to the Craps table. “I believe it’s your
turn again. ” he says, almost in a whisper.
Just
as I start to shake the dice in my hand, I feel an electric charge erupt around
me. My entire body freezes as I sense Kayden. It’s unfathomable how I can feel
him near me before even seeing him. Momentarily distracted, I toss the dice,
this time losing four-hundred dollars.
“Crap!”
I curse under my breath, and rest my hands against the cool wood of the table.
Hanging my head, I let out a long sigh and then force a smile onto my face.
Lifting my head up, I straighten my body and hold my hands up to everyone
standing around the table. I give them all a small wave. “Looks like I lost my
lucky streak,” I let out a small laugh and collect all of my chips. “I had fun,
but now I’ll let one of y’all make a go of it. Good luck!”
I
can still feel Kayden nearby, but with a quick glance around, I don’t spot him.
Brooklyn is flashing me an all teeth smile as she
bounces around in front of me, obviously oblivious to Kayden being in
the Casino. “Well, you win some you lose some, but damn Bitch, you freakin’
cleaned the place out!” Her eyes are taking in the stack of chips I’m cradling
in my arms.
“Here
let me take those for ya Savannah. I’ll go get these babies cashed in.”
Scooping my chips into his arms, Jax gives me a sympathetic smile. He must know
Kayden is here, and knows that’s why I now want to make a bee-line out of here.
I
know the minute I see him I’ll want to jump into his arms, smother him in
kisses, and plead with him to forget all the crap that’s happened. Shayne means
nothing to me and I need Kayden to know the feelings Shayne has for me are not
returned. I love Kayden, and that will never change. He’s captured my heart,
and consumed my entire mind, body and soul. He just needs time to clear his
head and blow off steam.
He’s
probably down at the Casino trying to find Jax since they are all here for
their guys’ getaway, which we have ruined ten minutes after arriving in Vegas
“Thanks
Jax.”
“You
okay?” Brooklyn asks, stepping beside me as we make our way
