“Tell me what you need,” she said, waiting for directions.
The three worked well together, and she couldn’t believe how much fun it was.She could absolutely see them doing this for years, and her never getting tired of it.
Chapter Ten
Aiden was wiping thelast bowl after a dinner of chili and cornbread.
“How about poker?”
She paused as she was wiping off the table.“I don’t know how to play that.Could you teach me?”
“Hell, yeah.Let me go get the cards and chips.”
“We just ate,” she snorted.
“They are poker chips,” Aiden said and laughed as he walked out of the room.
She walked into the living room and saw Malik moving the ottoman and the two chairs, so they all faced each other in front of the fireplace.The sofa had been pushed back to give them room.
“Can I do anything?”she asked.
“No, baby.Come and choose what seat you want.”
She picked one of the chairs and waited.Aiden came back with a box of things and sat down on the sofa.He divvied out the chips, giving each fifty, and then started dealing.
“So, we're going to play an easy one called Five-Card Draw.”He went through the different terms they would use and what they meant.“Our ante can be one chip for now.So, go ahead and ante.”
He dealt the cards and then set the stack facedown.
“Look at your cards.Remember the different hands.”
“It reminds me of Yahtzee.”
Malik nodded.“It’s the same theory.”
“I’ve got this,” she said with confidence.
