Lousy

This machine has the lousiest odds ever you think to yourself as you lose another round of change to the accursed machine. Over the past hour, you and Melody have been having the same amount of bad luck.

"Damn it!" Melody curses loudly as she looses again. You rub her back soothingly to subside her rage. You look down into the cups laying around your respective feet and find 1 last quarter.

Melody looks at you when you find the quarter, "looks like our last one, huh?"

"Yeah," you state sadly, the thousand was the only gambling money you had brought with you after all of the favors you had to scramble together.

"Let's do this together Jack." she grabs your hand and for a split second, you feel a strong electrical surge go through your body at the contact with Melody. A quick look at her face confirms she felt it too. Your eyes met and for an instant, you had an incredible urge to kiss her.

Smiling, she says, "Let's do this Jack." Both of you turn back to your slot machine and place the last quarter in the slot together. Both of you place your hands on the puller, you feel the same surge go through your body again.

Melody and you watch as the slots spin. As you wish for the win, your mind notices the fact you and Melody have intertwined your fingers.

The fist space lands on a "7" and you feel Melody's hand squeeze yours. Another "7" and she squeals with excitement. You concentrate all of your mind to wish for the last "7".
