The date…February 25th, 2007…

We meet mid afternoon in the lobby of the casino hotel and share a passionate embrace since it has been a couple of months since our last visit. After we’ve had a little time to talk and get your things to our room we head out to share a lunch and talk about the trip, much like our past migrations. We spend a couple of hours just catching up and reminiscing about our time together over the years… On and off, off and on. At this point the server is beggining to get disgusted since we haven’t bought anything in nearly an hour, so we decide to pay the tab and go elsewhere to enjoy each other’s company.

We return to the hotel about nine o’clock after a day of dinner, a nice long walk and a bit of shopping. I’m still wondering where you disappeared to for that twenty minutes in the mall when you left me at the ice cream shop. Our first day of this trip ends much like the other trips started… I put on some soft music and we spend the rest of the night laying in each others arms and talking about the “what if’s” until you fall asleep. I join you in our private little land of dreams shortly later, after listening to your soft breathing and enjoying how peaceful you look when you’re sleeping.

The next morning I wake up only to find breakfast in bed for my birthday. You shouldn’t have Sweetheart… And with a beautiful smile you respond, “for once just shut up and enjoy a day that’s yours.” We share a laugh, then finish breakfast and get up to get dressed. I inform you that for my twenty-first birthday, I would really like to spend the day at the casino. You start to laugh at me and say, “figures I’d be in love with a damn poker hound of a man.” Since you didn’t exactly have any major plans for my birthday, and you also don’t mind watching me play poker, you agree. As I stand by the door puffing on a cigar you emerge from the bathroom in the sexiest school girl outfit allowed in a public place. With the evilest grin you play with the frills at the bottom of it and ask me “was it worth the wait at the ice cream shop baby?” I stand there awestruck and lost for words. Finally after almost drooling on myself I ever so lovingly inform you that we don’t really have to go to the casino. You giggle that sweet innocent giggle of yours and say “oh no baby… we’re going, that way you’ll have all day to stare at me in this and get yourself ready for your birthday present tonight.

When we arrive at the casino we each get our chips even though you watch more than you play. I go straight for a blackjack table and after about a dozen hands turn my thousand dollars into five thousand. We walk away from that so you can play some slots and five card draw while I stand behind you rubbing your shoulders. After you have tripled your money and now have fifteen hundred dollars to play with you cash out five hundred of it and decide to play with just your winnings. I on the other hand have seen that it’s our lucky night and plan to gamble all I’ve got. We head over to the hold’em pits where we stand to watch a few hands. Once I’ve figured out which table has got some decent pots but doesn’t have people playing stupid with their chips, I take a seat. Since there is only one seat open you tell me that you’re going for a refill on our drinks and will be right back.

About twenty-five minutes later I feel a cold glass on my back and realize that my sexy little angel has returned. I take a sip of my disorrono and coke before I hear you asking about my chips. I respond with a slight deviance in my voice, “yeah, I won a couple while you were gone baby.” Just then the chair to my right opens up and I turn around in my seat grinning from ear to ear. Look Sweetheart… Right next to me. You smile and take the open seat. We play a few hands and fold a few hands… By the time our drinks ran out I had gained another fifteen hundred on top of the four thousand I got while you were gone, and you had tripled up.
