It was my first time going to a casino. Visiting some friends in New Jersey, I had decided I would go to Atlantic City before I headed home after a long weekend. Not much of a gambler, I didn't want to spend too much money being afraid that I would go home penniless. Playing a few of the cheaper slot machines I pretty much broke even so my confidence was up just a little bit. Still not wanting to go home broke, I decided I would watch some games of blackjack thinking that I could calculate the risk I would be taking. I came to one table where there were a few different people playing and I watched for a little bit.
One man was I'm guessing a cowboy, because of the hat, the boots, and the heavy southern accent. Next to him, there were two women, apparently pooling their money because they were giggling and whispering after each and every card was dealt before they did anything. Next to them, was a couple who weren't particularly into the game. They appeared to be drunk, or at least close to it. Kissing and fondling each other as the game went on. Not paying attention to all the money they were losing. I tried not to pay too much attention to them because if I did, I wouldn't be able pay attention to the game because they were practically fucking each other at the table.
I watched a few hands played, and there were no surprises. The cowboy won a couple of times, the two gigglers won a couple of times, and the kissers just kept losing but didn't seem to care, and I don't really blame them. Suddenly, I noticed someone that I hadn't before. The dealer was a beautiful woman with light brown hair. About my age, she reminded me of Shania Twain. Long flowing hair, a body covered up by a dealer's uniform, and a pair of eyes that seemed to be staring at me!
"What's this?" I thought to myself. Is she really checking me our or is she just trying to make me think she is so I'll join in the game and she can take me for all I'm worth? I had decided it was the latter and didn't want to be taken by an obvious casino trick. My attention brought back to the game of black jack, I thought I could ignore her. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that she was still catching glimpses of me whenever she could. After about fifteen minutes of watching the game and convinced that I could at least break even, I decided that I would give in to her little game as soon as someone got up.
After the kissing couple nearly fell off their chairs, they decided that they should go up to their hotel room. Seeing the seat open, I thought to myself "here goes all my money" I sit down and the dealer announces a new player at the table. I thought now's my chance to return the favor and stared at her while she dealt the cards out. Wondering if she'd notice, I didn't even look at the two cards dealt to me. I just stared at her full lips and wondered what they would taste like on my lips. Suddenly it was my turn and she asked me what I was going to do. A smile came across those pretty lips and I knew that she had noticed my stare. I looked at my cards and I had 19, so I thought I'd stay and good thing because I won. I played a few more hands after that, all the while sharing glances back and forth with this pretty little dealer. She had on a name tag that said Katherine, so I playfully called her Kat every time she asked if I was going to hit or stay. She seemed to like it because she smiled and laughed a little when I called her that. Not wanting to get too infatuated with this dealer, I decided that I should leave the game after I was up about $100. I said thank you and left the table.
Being ahead of the game in money, I was pretty cautious about playing any more because it was getting late, and I didn't want to get greedy. I watched a few more games, had a few more drinks, and decided that after 4 hours at the casino, and being up $100, and pretty close to not being able to drive, I should head home. I got on the escalator to the exit. About half way up the escalator, I heard someone behind me say "Nice game back there" I turned to see who it was and surprisingly it was the dealer. I started to say something to her and she said in a hushed but firm tone..."Turn around! I can't be seen talking to you!" I quickly turned around and said "O.K...um thanks, but why can't you talk to me?"
She replied, "Dealers can't be seen talking to patrons away from the table, and this is a casino, there's cameras everywhere" Not knowing how to respond to that, I said, "um...O.K. then" There was a long silence for the rest of the ride and as I got off the escalator, I headed out to my car. I wanted to turn around and see where she was going, but I thought better of it. Suddenly, she was right behind me again. "There's a rest stop off of the first exit you see heading north on the highway. Go there now." I heard her say. Cautiously glancing around the parking lot, I checked to see if there was anyone else but me that she could possibly be talking to. Not a soul in sight. I got into my car and drove off not sure what I was in for.
