18 | Dice with Death
“Life, like poker, has an element of risk. It shouldn't be avoided. It should be faced.”
- Edward Norton
Laila
I reached the bar near Alessandro, I noticed he was staring at me. The bartender came to my disposal, "What can I get for the beautiful stunner of the night?" With a wink. I motioned him to come closer, I whispered "whiskey, neat. Guapo" sending him a sultry smile, he nodded with a kiss on my cheeks. I saw Alessandro on my peripheral vision clenching his jaw and the blondie was sneering at me. The bartender gave me my drink with a piece of paper with his number in it. I chuckled and scoped the vicinity for my target.
