A few nights later Lennon had just gotten home from her shift at the bookstore where she worked. Randy was in the kitchen with two guys Lennon had never seen before.
"Hi Lennon, how was work?" Randy asked.
"Fine."
"This is John and Sean." "They're wrestlers to."
"Nice to meet you both." "What are you guys doing?"
"Waiting for a fourth guy so we can play poker."
"Have fun."
Lennon had just dried her hair after getting out of the shower. She went to the kitchen to get something to eat. The guys weren't in the kitchen anymore. Lennon went into the living room.
"I thought you guys were playing poker." She said.
"The fourth guy called and said he couldn't make it." Randy said. "So we can't play."
"I'll be your fourth."
"You know how to play poker?" Randy said surprised.
"Yeah my mom taught me." "Unless you guys are afraid of getting your asses kicked by a girl."
They were all in the kitchen. The cards were just dealt. Randy got up and opened the fridge. "Len, you want a beer?"
"How did you get that?"
"John's twenty-one."
"I'll take one."
"I didn't take you for a drinker."
"Well you didn't know I played poker either."
A few hours later they were playing the last hand.
"I fold." John said.
"Me to." Sean said.
"What do you say Randy?" Lennon said.
"I call." Randy said. "I have a straight." "Sorry about your luck Len." He said laying down his cards.
"That sucks, for you."
"What?"
"I have a royal flush, you lose." She said smiling.
Sean left. John was getting ready to leave.
"Nice to meet you John." Lennon said from her room.
"Nice meeting you to." John said. He and Randy were in the living room. "She's great." John said looking at Randy.
"Yeah "
"Does she have any idea you're into her?" He said quietly.
"What, no I'm not."
"Whatever dude." "Go ahead and deny it but I know you are." "See you later." He left.
