Breanna, the gambling addict

“C’mon…c’mon…c’mon,” said the blonde quietly to herself in her tight strapless black dress and heels. She watched the roulette ball spin all around and land on black. “Oh fuck yes! Lady Luck is my bitch tonight,” she announced out loud. Her friend, Jackie chuckled at her friend’s dance moves.

“Alright I think this is the perfect time to quit,” she said while putting her hand on Breanna’s bare shoulder.

“No way, girlfriend. I am on a hot streak and one more win will pay off my debts as well as leave me with quite a bit of pocket change,” she said confidently as she slid all of her chips back onto black. Jackie shook her head as Breanna had got herself into a pretty bad financial position because of her reckless gambling addiction. The problem was that the harder Jackie pressed the harder Breanna gambled. Jackie watched Breanna assume her same position as the little metal ball spun around the roulette. “Cmon…cmon…mama wants a new pair of shoes and a yacht too…”

The ball came to an abrupt stop and landed on red. “Oh wow tough luck, Jackie. You’ll get them next time,” she said trying to comfort her friend.

“Oh fuck…fuck…fuck fuck fuck fuck…” Breanna said with her hands on her face.

Jackie was concerned and asked, “Bree, what’s gotten into you?”

“Jackie I’m fucked…like literally fucking fucked…”

“I don’t know what you are talking about, Bree. You’re scaring the shit out of me…”

“That was money that I loaned from some…pretty shady people….” She said looking down at the ground.

Jackie was floored as she asked, “How much?” Breanna stood there quietly as Jackie asked even firmer, “Gawddammit, Bree! How much?”

Breanna swallowed her saliva as she quietly said, “About 100k…”

Jackie pinched the bridge of her nose and said, “Bree…you are just so…ugh…frustrating. How much are you actually in debt?”

Breanna quietly said, “…half a mil…”

Jackie’s mouth fell wide open as she asked, “How in the fuck is it half a million dollars!?”

Breanna looked away and said, “Well I’ve been trying to pay back and every time I get close in my winnings I end up losing everything again.” Jackie shook her head as she looked at her friend with pleading look.

Jackie spoke first and said, “No! I’m done, Bree…I’m done with the selfishness of just burying dent with more debt. I’m not helping you out of this and don’t even bother calling me ever again. I’m getting rid of you in my life since you don’t see me more than just a piggy bank that you can use from time to time.” Jackie walked away as Breanna silently reached out. Jackie was fighting back her tears as her heels clicked away from the sobbing blonde in the tight black dress.

“Hello Ms. Harris. How are you this evening?” Said a gruff voice that made the Breanna jump. She wiped her tears and saw a man she knew very well as Sal.

“Oh hello Sal…fancy meeting you here…” Bree did her best fake smile.

“Seems like you really hurt your friend, Ms. Harris. How about we have a chat in my room?” Sal asked as he wrapped him arm around the blonde’s shoulder. She didn’t have a choice and Jackie was long gone of being able to save her from her mess of a situation.
