Zack Island... tourists were flocking in and business was booming as per usual but today however Zack would mean one tourist who would change his life forever!
It was yet another beautiful day on Zack Island, a cruise ship full of tourists had just docked on Zack Island, Zack donning a nice classy suit was welcoming the guests to the island when he saw one guest wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt with white pants and black dress shoes, the guest was a Hispanic male with light brown skin and brown eyes.
"Welcome to my beautiful, humble Island!" greeted Zack
"Ah, you must be Zack, the name's Rico...Rico Montana Almonte De La Hoya" said Rico
"I'll just call you Rico for short" chuckled Zack
Rico had a good laugh too as he and Zack began to have a small conversation with each other about the Island and such.
"So, you here for business or pleasure?" asked Zack as he and Rico were chilling by the hotel
"A little bit of both" replied Rico
"Interesting, may I ask what your profession is?" asked Zack
"Sales and imports" replied Rico
"Just how old are you?" asked Zack
"Turned nineteen a week ago" replied Rico
"Alright, well anyone over eighteen is sure welcome on Zack Island, the only drawback is you can't have any liquor" said Zack
"It's alright, I'm not much of an alcoholic" replied Rico
After some more chatting, Rico decided to go check into his room and unpack his luggage, when he entered the hotel, there he saw her...Hitomi, who was wearing a black tank top, blue jeans, pink sandals and a pink headband in her hair. Rico was stunned at Hitomi's sheer beauty, he really wanted to talk to her but he couldn't...now you see Rico was pretty shy around the ladies even though he'd brag that he's a playboy and could get any girl he felt like hooking up with. Rico had checked into his room, it was a quaint little room, it had a big bed and a big screen TV with red carpeting and beautiful view of the ocean!
"Man this is the life" Rico said to himself as he threw his suitcase on the bed and began to unpack his things
"I'm fitting to hit the casino!" exclaimed Rico as he grabbed a wad of money from his suitcase...he had quite a few wads of money to be honest.
Rico had left his room and locked the door behind him, he was walking down the hallway about to go into the elevator when there he saw about to grab an elevator was Hitomi, Rico's knees went weak when he saw her and his breathing became a little rapid!
"Hey, I'm Hitomi" she greeted
"I'm so yours" said Rico...even though the lovestruck boy didn't realize what he said
"What was that?" chuckled Hitomi
"RICO! MY NAME IS RICO!" exclaimed Rico as he finally realized what he said
Hitomi was chuckling a little bit and she did think Rico's admiration was cute because the telltale signs that Rico liked her were there.
While Rico was standing there shaking like a leaf on a tree the elevator came and both Hitomi and Rico got on;
"So...uh..where ya headed?" asked Rico
"Third floor, I need to return something to Tina, she's a good friend of mine" replied Hitomi
"Sure...no p-problem" stuttered Rico
He pressed the button for Hitomi and then pressed the button to the casino, while in the elevator...Rico was dead silent, he wanted to ask Hitomi out but he felt like he had a huge lump in his throat!
"Well bye" said Hitomi as she got off the elevator and went to Tina's room
"Yeah...bye" said Rico weakly
The doors closed and Rico felt like the biggest jackass on the planet, he hung his head in shame and after a minute the elevator had gotten to the casino, there blocking the door was Bass Armstrong!
"I.D buddy" said Bass
"Listen big guy... I don't have I.D but the Franklin Triplets...they say I'm twenty-one" whispered Rico to Bass as he pulled out three-hundred dollars, Bass grabbed it from his hand.
"OK listen, I'd like to welcome you to the casino...but I cant, I would also like to tell you that if you go to the right you can turn your money into chips...but I can't do that either! I also do not recommend you have a good time or enjoy your stay" whispered Bass trying to cover up the fact he was letting Rico in the casino despite him being underage by trying to make it look like he wouldn't let him in.
"When you can't get your way legally...buy it!" Rico slyly thought to himself
Rico walked into the casino and boy was it huge; there were craps tables, roulette tables, blackjack tables, slot machines...the works!
Rico had went over to turn his now seventeen-hundred dollars into seventeen-hundred dollars worth of chips.
"Where to go? Where to go...ROULETTE!" Rico said to himself as he went to the Roulette table
"29 Black!" exclaimed the roulette dealer
Rico had stood by the roulette table when he saw a man wearing a white t-shirt with a black dress coat over it, he wore black dress pants and black loafers...Rico instantly noticed him;
"You're Big Destin C! Number three on the hundred greatest bassists! Man I'm a huge fan" exclaimed Rico
"Why thank you very much, may I ask your name?" asked Destin
"Rico Montana Almonte De La Hoya" said Rico
"What a mouthful...I think I'll just call you Rico" chuckled Destin
"Yeah, so what brings you here?" asked Rico
"Getting away from it all, the tours and the airlines and the millions of fans flocking you when you're hungover" said Destin
Rico and Destin had a good chuckle at that and then placed a couple of bets on the roulette table, Rico placed a one-hundred dollar corner bet while Destin placed a fifty dollar straight up on number 16 after all bets were on the table the dealer spun the wheel and let loose the little ball.
"25, 26, 28 or 29!" Rico thought to himself
After a few seconds the ball stopped and landed on a number;
"BLACK 28...WE HAVE A WINNER!" exclaimed the roulette dealer
"Nice job dude, also I'd like you to meet my girlfriend Kasumi, we met a few days ago and we hit it off" said Destin
"Nice man, now let's shut up and gamble!" exclaimed Rico
"Hold on amigo, how old are you?" asked Destin
"I'm 19" whispered Rico
"Lemme guess? Bribery right?" asked Destin
"Yes sir" whispered Rico
"Well, I'm 18 and one of the perks being a celebrity is that I can go anywhere" Destin whispered back
"Lucky bastard" Rico thought to himself
This time around Destin placed a one-hundred dollar straight up on number five while Rico placed a three-hundred dollar split between twenty and twenty-three and as before the wheel spun and the ball was let loose and after a few seconds of spinning the ball landed on a number;
"RED FOUR...WE HAVE A WINNER!" exclaimed the dealer
"Nice man thirty-five times what ya bet!" exclaimed Rico
"You know it bro" replied Destin as him and Rico slapped hands and Kasumi looked pleased...even though she didn't fall in love for money but for him!
After some gambling and joking Destin and Rico had left the casino to go to their rooms and get a good night sleep.
"Well goodnight Destin" said Rico
"Same to you man" replied Destin as they both went to their rooms...only difference was Destin had Kasumi and Rico was lonesome.
