Sliding into your black heels and fixing your tight, mid-thigh long dress before you actually stepped out of your apartment. “I’m on my way, Shoko.” you clicked your tongue. Your childhood friend sometimes was a bit too much but you loved her anyway. “Yes, exactly. I’m literally opening the door downstairs. I already see you.” you started to wave while canceling the call.
“You are late.” she rolled her eyes.
“Oh, c’mon… 3 minutes.”
“You are still late.” she teased. “Nah, get in the car. Utahime and Meimei are already waiting for us.”
“What about the boys?” you asked as you buckled the safety up.
“Nanami picks Haibara up and they come with Kento’s car.”
And what is all the fuss about, you may ask? It was a tradition. You’ve been friends since high school and stuck together even if you grew up. Even when you were at different unis and started to work at different workplaces. All of you gathered in the town twice a year. Once for a nice dinner before Christmas and once for a wasted gambling night in the Spring. Since it was April you were eager to meet your friends and let out all the stress, get wasted and probably win some money.
It’s been a few years now that you stopped your career as a professional poker player. On a night like this you were able to feel the tension once again, to feel the adrenalin crawling up in your body and you let it spread in your veins. You had a perfect, so-called poker face. No one could read your emotions and you made advantage of that skill whenever you needed to.
All of you met in front of the entrance, between kisses, hugs and howareyous you looked up for a blink and saw the big neon letters “GOJO”. This casino entered your town not long ago and you were more than happy to give it a try.
As soon as you stepped in the girls aimed for the bar.
“The usual?” Utahime asked you.
“Yes, honey. Thank you. I’ll be over at the…”
“Poker table.” Meimei finished your sentence giggling.
“You know me too well.” you laughed.
Yu joined the girls, while Kento decided to escort you to the table you just picked randomly.
“Tonight is my night, girl.” he leaned closer to you as soon as you took a seat. “I’m gonna win all your sweet money. It will be a perfect revenge for last year’s disaster.”
“You wish, sweetheart.” you petted his thigh. “You wish.”
Round after round you won the pot and kept gathering Kento’s chips, just as the other two player’s, too. Your friend was getting more and more impatient and probably irritated.
“Fuck…” he hissed. “I’m out.” he rolled his eyes the second you raised the bet on the river. After an hour or so Kento was lacking his chips, maybe they were enough for 2 or 3 more rounds.

“Boss, I need you to come with me please.” Yuuta bowed slightly before Gojo.
“What’s the matter?” he frowned. The head of security called him only when there was something off.
“I think there might be a cheater at one of the poker tables.” he sat down in the security room in front of the countless screens which gave them access to see everything in the casino. “Look! Do you see it at table 7? She keeps winning for one and a half hours straight. There’s no way she doesn’t count the cards…” he shook his head irritated. “Do you want me to kick her out?”
Gojo stepped closer, rubbing his thumb and index finger up and down on his jaw. “Hmm…” he growled as he stared at you. “I will handle her myself.” he spun on his heels and left the room. “Let’s see if you are a cheater or a genius, darling.” he smirked as he hurried his steps towards your table.

“Oh, c’mon!” Nanami threw his hands into the air. “I know you’re bluffing, girl. I’m sure!”
“Am I?” you poked your tongue against your inner cheek.
“Go, sweety, go!” Yu cheered for you from behind, sitting at a normal table, sipping his drink. He and the girls took a break and decided to watch the painful execution of Nanami Kento’s wallet.
“Shut your mouth, Haibara!” hissed the blonde haired man, as he pushed his glasses back up on his nose.
“Show me what you got.” you smiled after the river. At this time only you and him stayed at the table, everyone else gave up and left.
“I win this. I know I do.” he smirked and flashed a full house with Aces full of Kings.
“My sweet, Kento, my sweet sweet Kento.” your voice sounded warm and nice which sent shivers down his body.
“What?! WHAT?!” he clenched his jaw. “If you dare to tell me that…”
“Four of a kind…” you revealed your cards “Queens.” you chuckled a bit as the dealer repeated the result and pushed all the chips to you.
“Fuck off! Seriously, just fuck off, girl!” he took a desperately huge breath.
“Good evening.” a husky voice interrupted the little act at the table. “May I join? It seems this pretty lady is getting lucky, so I would like to try mine, too” the snow white haired man said politely. You missed the quick glance the dealer gave to his boss.
“There’s no luck in this, sir.” you rolled your eyes offended. “I’m simply good at this game.”
He raised his index finger as he took a seat, signing he wanted to join the game anyway.
“If you are an enemy of your own wallet, you can join us.” Nanami hummed.
The cards were dealt and everyone made the bet. You tried to read your newest opponent but him wearing dark sunglasses gave you a hard time.
“You’re staring.” he smirked.
“I know.” you raised one of your eyebrows.
Kento wanted to show off, even if he was terrible at any card games. Everyone knew it except him. He clicked his tongue, so you already knew he actually had something in his hand. You were holding a 7,2 off, so you dropped them without hesitation. There was no way on Earth you would try anything risky with the most horrible combination you could get.
As you kept staring at the handsome man next to you, he slightly pulled his sunglasses off, flashing his mesmerizingly blue eyes. “Holy fuck!” you thought to yourself.
Kento wasn’t paying attention, he was sure this time he was going to win the pot. So he of course missed the cheeky wink his opponent gave you before pushing the glasses back up. You bit your lower lip, because even if it was clearer than the sun you couldn’t say a single thing. You rather tried to find out what he could hold. According to the cards on the table after the river you had two possibilities in mind.
“All in.” he pushed all his chips to the middle of the table.
“Call!” snapped Kento without even thinking for a second.
“Fuck, Nanami!” you shook your head angrily. “How can you be this stupid!”
“Easy, girl. I got this…” he smirked, flashing his cards. “Four of a kind, Aces.” he kept raising his eyebrows up and down. But the fact his opponent pulled a tiny smile told you more than enough.
“He has a fucking straight flush, Kento. Why can’t you read the freaking cards?” you hummed a bittersweet laugh.
“How did you know…” he frowned as he showed the Queen and King of hearts in his hand. The dealer placed them right next to the rest of the cards in the middle of the table and called him the winner.
“Don’t worry.” you turned to Nanami. “I’m gonna win your money back.” you winked at him.
“Will you?” your opponent chuckled. “By the way I’m Satoru.” he offered his hand for a shake.
“Nice to meet you.” you nodded.
“It’s my pleasure to play with a woman like you.” he tried to smooth talk.
“Stop flirting and make the bet.” you pretended to yawn.
Gojo pulled his hand back and slightly smiled. Your cheeky attitude amazed him.
As you promised your friend after a few rounds you had all the chips.
“Your girlfriend is very very talented.” he turned to Nanami.
“Girlfriend? Her? I would never ever date her…” he bursted out in a loud laughter.
You punched him hard in the shoulder. “Asshole.”
“You see?” Nanami tilted his head a bit.
“Only a fool wouldn’t date a beautiful lady like her.” he looked you in the eyes. That was the moment he got your attention.
***
Gojo had no intention in telling you he was the owner of the place, rather he invited you for a drink at the bar. You stepped to your friends and promised them you were going to be back soon.
“Girl! Don’t be ridiculous!” Meimei chuckled. “This guy is hot as fuck. Go get him.”
“A Gin-tonic, please.” you sat down at the bar.
“Actually, two.” Gojo took a seat next to you.
The second you wanted to pay for your drink the bartender smiled and said “It’s on the house, miss.”
You were surprised but didn’t turn down the free drink. Satoru started to ask you questions about your skill and you ended up telling him your story.
“I used to be a pro player.” you pulled a painful smile. “But I had to quit and since then I rarely play.”
“You are full of surprises, I am honestly amazed.”
The hours flew by and even if you had fun it was time to end the night.
“The casino has hotel rooms as well.” Gojo offered it smoothly.
“Thanks.” you stood up and placed your palm on his shoulder. “But I don’t do one night stands anymore.”
He smirked at your comment and grabbed a business card in his pocket, handing it to you as he stood up as well. “I’m not interested in one night stands either. Call me when you are ready to date me.” he gave a quick kiss on your cheek and left.
You stared at the card in your hand and frowned, because you were sure you'd seen his name somewhere. As you walked out of the building and turned around there it was. The huge neon letters “GOJO” right above the entrance flashed into your face. You grabbed your phone right away and sent him a text message.
“Why didn’t you say you own this whole place?”
“Does it matter?” he texted you back almost immediately.
You hummed a laugh, because he made a point. “No, actually it does not matter.”
***
The next morning you were woken up by your ringing phone.
“Yeah?” you picked up, being barely awake.
“So, are you ready to date me, yet?” Gojo’s husky voice made you smile.
“Uhm…” you had no idea what to say.
“I’ll pick you up at 7 sharp.” he hung up.
“Well, it seems I’m gonna have a date tonight.” you blinked a few times before a question popped in your mind. “Wait! How the hell does he know my address?”
You had no idea that Gojo Satoru wasn’t only an owner of a casino. No. He was the head of one the biggest mafia families in the whole country.
