Authors Note: So I kind of forgot they actually had to get caught so the last section was quickly thought up. :P Only going to have one more chapter in this series after this.

Disclaimer: Do you think I'm anything more than a fangirl considering how much I miss the show?

Lucky Mascot

"No way. I am not giving you my money to feed your habit!"

"Gill, it's only for one more go. I promise to double whatever you give me on one bet."

Cal and Gillian had paid for tickets for the main members of their staff to go to Vegas as a thank you for all the hard work of the past year. Both of them had had to flirt and beg the other before it had even taken place since it was initially Gillian's idea for the trip but Cal's powers that had made it get booked for the gambling capital. So here they were; Cal had already lost the money he had brought with him and Gillian had took all of his credit cards from him before he left which meant he couldn't even withdraw from anywhere.

"Cal, it's not going to happen and before you go find any of our friends I've made them promise not to give you a single dime."

He grinned at her before replying with, "As if I can't make them fear for their jobs if they don't."

Gillian glared at him while also flicking her hair from falling across her face, "Fine. I'll just follow you around to make sure you do nothing like that."

Cal took a couple of steps forward to close some of the distance between them. "You'll just start all those rumors about us again." Previous to this getaway they had been subject to the majority of their mutual acquaintances insisting that they had finally built up the courage to take their relationship a step further, no matter how much the two in question assured them nothing like that was going to happen in the near future.

She continued to glare at him yet reached into her clutch bag and took out a small wad of money in Cal's terms but substantial to anyone else.

"This is all I have to spend. You had better give me it back doubled and with interest."

"All you have left to spend? So how much have you won in extra bills?"

"Enough to make our company survive a few more months. I have learnt a thing or two about gambling since meeting you."

"Thanks love," they looked into the other's eyes for a moment before he turned with her money to the roulette wheel.

Gillian grabbed his arm before he took any more movements. "Cal, do anything with my money but roulette, please," she knew her pleading would not get anywhere but she had to try to show him how she felt now and again.

The small white ball bounced over the red and black numbers and Gillian stared in amazement as it rested in the single green 0 area.

"Cal that's... that's what you just put your money on, right?"

"You'd better believe it love."

Gillian continued to stumble over her words, "But... What... How?"

"Maybe you're my lucky mascot," he answered with a wink and a smirk.

As they continued to maintain their eye contact everything else - the roulette wheel, chips and all the other people - seemed to fade away to darkness. Almost a decade of memories flashed through their heads and neither totally realized or understood what happened next. His right hand moved up to her face and into her hair, as she stepped closer to his body he pulled her face to his and their mouths joined with each other.

Her arms went around his neck while their tongues gained entry to the previously forbidden territory. They both knew subconsciously that there were in fact reasons why they couldn't go much further down in this room do quickly broke apart with a couple of small, breathless kisses. Cal took hold of his partner's hand and dragged her away to collect their - her - winnings before heading in the direction of the elevators that would take them to their adjoining rooms.

As they waited for it to descend to their level Gillian suddenly became serious with him, "This isn't going to be a one-night stand is it Cal? I need to know if we do what we're going to do you'll be, I don't know, committed to us. The rumors will be bad enough without the mocking of me just being another conquest in your life."

Cal turned his head to face her and promised her it wouldn't be a one-time event if he got his way. Their lips were on the other personas soon as they were in the empty elevator.

She wanted to blame it on being in a different place yet everyone knew the couple had been to various cities together and hadn't acted on their feelings. Usually she was a little more dressed up when in casinos like this one but was currently in jeans and a loose fitting shirt because she had been called down so abruptly by Cal for the money. Cal quickly glanced down at what she was wearing and couldn't help but think she was even more gorgeous in casual clothes than when she got made up.

Instinct silently directed them straight to Gillian's room, correctly assuming her room would still be neat and welcoming on the eye even after being here a few days, unlike Cal's which looked as though a missile had hit it. Once inside he pressed her against the nearest wall and didn't waste any time in starting to undo the buttons on her top. She had no desire to stop them moving so fast, instead she preferred this way because she got to be the girl with Cal unlike previous times when she had only got to say a greeting to the girls.

He only had one button left when they heard an unexpected knock on the door. Cal mumbled an expletive whilst Gillian attempted to make herself look presentable again by doing up her shirt and running her fingers through her scrunched up hair.

Opening the door she saw Ria standing there with a bottle of wine in her hand, "I thought you might like to join in the drinking that everyone else seems to be taking part in downstairs." She stopped talking when she saw Cal leaning back behind Gillian; she instantly knew what they had been doing judging by their messed up clothing and deep scarlet blushes, "Or maybe I should just leave you to get back to your own kind of entertainment?"

The older female nodded and replied through gritted teeth, annoyed at being interrupted by one of their employees, "I think that's the best idea. Oh, and if you breathe a word of what you've just guessed about us to anybody consider yourself fired."

She closed the door at Ria turned back to the stairs whilst Cal immediately took hold of her waist from behind and kissed along her shoulder and neck. "I always knew you could terrify our staff Gill. Who knew it would take sex to do that?"

She laughed in response along with hitting his arm playfully as she faced him again and pressed their lips back together, "Now where were exactly?"
