The Vampire's Soulmate (BWWM) (Complete)

Chapter 16: Poker & Best Friends

PSA: I have a life outside of Wattpad : )

When we return to the house Gio and a few other men are standing around the porch. Teo parks the car before we all get out.

            "Help them" Teo commands before pulling me to the door. The guys go to the car grabbing the bags.

"Who are they?" I question looking up at him.

"Friends who also happen to work for me" he says flatly turning on the TV.

"They can't stay here plus you don't just invite people to other people's house without their knowledge it's rude."

"They don't have to stay here and neither do we."

"I have to, that's the whole point of this week."

Everyone takes seats around the living room. "Guys this is Reagan and Jasmine, these are Frank, Jordan, Chico, and Ian" Gio introduces.

Frank is of average height, wavy brown hair cut short with grey eyes. Jordan is dark complexioned with long dreads, a little shorter than Teo with brown eyes. Chico is olive toned with a buzz cut and brown eyes. Ian is fair tone, blue eyes, with dirty blonde curly hair. All the guys look like they spend their life in the gym but not in body builder way. I can't help but to wonder if they're vampires too.

"I'm Danica" I introduce before glaring at Gio.

"What? There's no need to introduce you they already know who you are" he defends before looking to Jas. "You didn't tell me that you're rich."

"I'm not, my folks are" she replies with a shrug.

Jordan whistles, "nice place."

"Thanks, where are y'all staying at?"

"Matteo has a vacation home here that we're going to crash at" Gio says. "What's the plan for tonight?"

Jas smirks, "I say strip poker."

"No" Matteo says without looking away from the TV.

Jas pouts, "always the party pooper."

"For everyone's sake let's find something else to play."

"How about drinking poker?"

"Yeah, your folks have a fully stocked bar" Rea adds grinning.

Jas nods, "you lose you drink, you fold you drink" she turns to Rea, "set up the table while I get the drinks."

"Follow me" Rea says as Jas rushes out the room. We all follow Rea to the poker room.

Jas folks are filthy rich but not the snobby rich more like Teo, rich but doesn't throw it in everyone's face. Jas loves to play poker because she's been playing since she was six, her dad is a world renowned poker champion. Let's just say she has an unfair advantage. Teo pulls me on his lap and I make quick work of getting comfortable before I stir his friend. Jas walks in carrying a bunch of bottles placing them to the side of the table. Rea gives each person a shot glass.

"What's going on here?" Jas asks looking at us suspiciously.

"You know they're playing as one" Gio says starting to deal the cards.

"You guys are sick."

Low key I feel bad because I'm sure Teo knows how to play poker well. The dude is eighty-six for crying out loud, how could he not know how to play? Luckily Jas's father taught us all how to play so I'm decent at the game. I hold my hand so Teo can see.

"Let me remind you guys my folks are rich not I so these chips don't mean shit." Jas remarks.

I giggle tossing a fifty-dollar chip down. Gio raises with a smirk while Rea crinkles her nose, her no fail bullshit move. She has nothing so she folds.
