"It's cool to meet some of your friends" Shelley says to Johnathan. They are walking up to Steve's front door.
"Yeah, my friends" Jonathan says. He keeps his head down the closer they get. Starting to wish they weren't there. They reach the door and Jonathan reaches out to knock. Within seconds Steve is in front of them ushering for them to come in. They go in to Steve's living room where Nancy is sitting. Cards and board games were scattered through out the room. So where some beers. Steve went and sat down next to Nancy in front of the coffee table. Shelley walked over and sat across from Steve, Jonathan was left to sit in front of Nancy.
"Thanks for inviting us over Steve" Shelley says with a smile.
"Oh sure no problem. So Nancy said …show more content…
He walks over to the table and sits across from her. He slides a deck of red cards out of his suit pocket. The man sets two cards face down in front of the girl, and two face down in front of himself. The girl is sitting with her arms crossed, not wanting to deal with his tricks.
"I know you've been mad at me these past couple of days. So I thought I would give you a little break. Today we're gonna play a card game. A pretty simple and fun one called Texas hold'em" He says. The girl uncrossed her arms and sat up straight, not believeing he just wanted to play a game.
"Ok" She says.
"Great, so I was taught how to play this by my older brother. He went off to the army, and when he came back we played all of the time. The two cards in front of you are called your hole cards. We both need to decide if we want to check our cards, bet what they are, or fold. Folding means you don't think you have good cards" He explains.
"What are good cards?" She asks.
"You can have a flush, straight, or two pair. A flush consists of either an ace, k, j, q, and 10 of the same suit. Or 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3 all in the same suit. Why don't we just try and get flushes for now?" He says, "So now, what do you want to do. Check, bet, or …show more content…
Shelley shakes her head no and looks away from them.
"Is everything okay Shelley?" Jonathan asks.
"I'd like to go home now" Shelley says. She starts to stand up, messing up her angel. Jonathan slowly stands up too.
"Okay sure, I guess we can go" Jonathan says.
"No I'd like to go home, home. Like my actual home" She says. Jonathan feels hurt by this, but he's not sure what he did wrong.
"What? What about Barkley, he could still be out there" He says. A single tear rolls down Shelley's cheek. He reaches for her, but she backs up. Nancy and Steve are standing up by now.
"I've made a mistake, I've made a mistake" Shelley says, running her hands through her hair.
"Shelley what's going on? You can tell us I promise" Nancy says, trying to calm the situation down.
"Yeah I'm sure your dog is okay" Steve says. Shelley turns around and looks off into the house. Jonathan is heading towards her again.
"Stop, please stop!" Shelley shouts. She takes a deep breath before she turns
