"You don't want to do this." He warned again as he sat down relaxed on the sofa. "Bruce, warn them."

"See, you don't want to bet on this game because you will only lose, My boss is the best, second to none." Bruce warned just as his boss told him to.

"I'm not backing down." Val was determined.

"Okay." The strange man who is Bruce's boss said as he sat upright while he got into position for the game.

They started the game. To me, random pawns was been moved but to them it meant something. 

In less than five minutes, the son of a monkey who was Bruce's boss relaxed once again with a smirk on his face.

Val's face was down cast with sweat dripping off her forehead; she had the look of someone who wished to be anywhere but in this same room.

From the dramatic display I have seen from both sides, the atmosphere, one of my worst fears came  into reality.

He won! He. Freaking. Won!!

MISLED

She looked past the side of my head at something in my back. I turned to follow her line of sight but I was faced with nothing tangible that I can say has gotten her attention. I feel so sad that she space out but was never really willing to talk to me about it. 


"Are you okay?" I asked as I reached out to grab her. 


"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm fine." She responded as she signaled the waiter over. 


"It doesn't seem like so to me." I tried to push some more buttons hoping she'll agree to talk. 


"Don't push it." She deadpanned in an annoyed voice. It broke me. I rarely was at the receiving end of such harsh tones but I guessed I over-crossed the boundaries today. 


"I'm sorry." I raised my hands up in a show of surrender. 


"Are we returning home?" I asked Val after she settled our bill. 


"Nope." She said popping the p in the nope. I grabbed Jackie by her hand and we walked side by side to the car.
