Uno! | j.o

My eyes meticulously scan the surroundings, the atmosphere growing tense with each passing second.

We were at Hunter's trailer, enjoying a pleasant evening until things took a serious turn: Playing Uno. Georgie proposed a brilliant idea: each of us would put up $50, and the winner would take it all. The excitement was palpable until Hunter started dealing the cards.

In the first round, Emma was the first to be eliminated, expressing her disappointment as she left the table with anger for the lost $50. In the next turn, Joy, Naomi, and then a commotion caused by Georgie accusing Jenna of cheating ensued. Finally, Hunter was the last to leave the competition.

Only Jenna and I remained.

The brunette stared at me intently, her brown eyes brimming with challenge and excitement. A small smile played on her lips, her tongue licking the lower lip as a sign of concentration.

Change direction

Jenna discards the card on the table, her eyes sparkling with excitement. The tension rises, and with a lump in my throat, I watch expectantly for the brunette's next move. My eyes see her hand delicately picking up the penultimate card, her long, tapered fingers, completely perfect.

Blue 7

I see the card she drops, and I shift my gaze to Jenna, the brunette looking at me amused.

By now, I was used to Jenna's gaze: No shame, no concern if she embarrassed you. Jenna looked at me as if she could understand my feelings, thoughts, and even decipher the cards I held.

"Damn," Georgie mutters, watching the game closely, his knee moving up and down nervously. "Uno," Jenna says, smiling widely, the dimple on her face deepening.

My eyes soften seeing the state of happiness in Jenna: a broad smile, bright and hopeful eyes. I had been in love with Jenna for a while now, and I loved seeing her happy, laughing, looking at me amused. During these weeks of filming for the second season of Wednesday we spent a lot of time together off-set, drinking, dancing, or watching movies in my trailer after a stressful day.

My eyes look at the pile of money: $400. I bite my lower lip nervously, diverting my attention from the money, watching Jenna who was observing me, waiting for my move, Georgie nervously by my side. The girls were chatting among themselves on the sofas, immediately forgetting their defeat. Hunter observed the game with crossed arms.

I look again at Jenna, who was watching me with a small smile on her lips.

Despite my strong feelings for Jenna, I was also very competitive, and the prize really got to me.

Sorry, Jen.

With eyes full of mischief, I play my ace in the hole and throw it on the table: +4. Jenna opens her mouth in surprise and looks at me in shock, Georgie smiling at my move.

"Uno," I say, knowing perfectly well that Jenna couldn't respond to my move as she was picking up the four cards from the deck. With nonchalance, I throw my last card on the table. I won. I WON. I smile widely and stand up from the table, Georgie happy for my good play. "You're awesome," Hunter says, smiling broadly, giving me a high five.

Jenna grumbles and sighs loudly from her nostrils due to the bad defeat.

"Is this mine" I take the money and put it in the back pocket of my pants. "Did y/n win?" Emma asks with curiosity from the couch, looking at me with a smile on her lips. "Yes," Jenna intervenes, frustrated. "Another match?" Hunter claps his hands and smiles excitedly, Georgie nodding quickly.

"I have to go, guys," the brunette murmurs tiredly, a strange tone in her voice. Jenna gets up from the chair and puts on her jacket, her eyes giving me a quick glance before looking away and smiling at everyone present. "Tomorrow morning I have to record," she apologizes quickly before walking towards the exit. "Okay... see you tomorrow then," Hunter says, taking the cards in his hands, shuffling them. "I'm going too," I murmur quickly, following the brunette.
