Time will tell!

"God dammit!" Megan throws her hand down on the table hard "Fuck!" she yells "Fold." she shakes her head, finishing off her beverage before motioning a server to bring her another one.

Isabella and Grace are already out leaving Megan, Danielle and myself alone. I am currently in the lead holding a the majority of the chips, Danielle is in second and Megan, because she just had to fold is almost out.

"I'll fold too." Danielle smiles at me as the dealer pushes the somewhat small pile of chips in my direction as well.

"And here I was hoping for a challenge!" I tease.

"Oh Brookey!" Grace laughs "You always were the best at this..."

"It's Hold'Em, she got lucky!" Isabella replies, casually sipping her drink as she watched the three of us continue our game.

"My bachelorette party, my win! Easy easy!" I joke.

Grace is standing behind me, softly rubbing my shoulders, keeping my body loose as she keeps whispering into my ear "You've got this babe!" I can't help but smile to myself as not only do her hands feel great on my shoulders, rubbing me, but her encouraging words make me want to win...no, make me NEED to win!

The dealer shuffles and passes out the cards to the three of us. As I look at my two cards, "Huh..." my tongue peaks out slightly. Diamonds, Jack and Queen. "I'll call." I throw in a few chips to match.

"Fuck it, I'm almost done and this is the best I'm going to get..." Megan pushes the remaining of her chips into the middle of the table.

"I'll call that!" Danielle says, almost too happy.

"Ahhh screw it!" I say "All-in!" I reply as I throw my cards down, revealing my Jack and Queen of diamonds to the table.

"Oh shit." Megan let's out, she has pocket nines. Danielle reveals her cards, Ace of spades and Two of hearts.

"You've got this Brookey!" Grace whispers into my ear once more "You have the better cards!"

The dealer does the flop, revealing a King of hearts, ten of diamonds and three of spades. "Uh oh! Megan still in the lead!" I let out, taking a drink.

The dealer discards a card, then does the turn "Fuck yes!" Megan throws her hand up in the air "Another nine! Three of a kind bitches!" she already seems to be counting her chickens.

Danielle at that point almost gave up, pushing her cards farther away from her and rolling her eyes as she leaned back in her chair.

Come on...come on...I kept pleading to myself.

Another burn, and here comes the river...

Ace of hearts.

"SON OF A BITCH!" Megan says aloud "How lucky!!!"

"I told you!" Isabella replies "Her bachelorette party and she gets all the luck!!"

I got a straight! Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace! Which beats Megan's trips!

"Finish your drinks, Bitches!!!" I laugh out loud as I pull all the chips into me, holding them like they are my prized possession.

"Screw that! I want a rematch!" Megan says "Come on!"

"Yeah, I agree, let's go!" Isabella instantly replies.

"Guys...I need to save some of my money for the rest of the weekend!" Danielle says.

"It wasn't even your money!" Megan laughs "What the hell, why will mommy and daddy care?!"

"Oh fuck you!" Danielle laughs, throwing a punch at Megan "What if we played with something else?"

"Ummm..." I tilted my head as Grace spoke up "What did you have in mind?"

"Let's play for dares!" Danielle bites her lower lip as her head moves across the table. "Winner of each round gets to pick a dare for one of the losers! They can forfeit of course, but that requires them to finish their drink, which in turns makes them more intoxicated and have lower inhibitions!" she continues to smile, her eyes shifting around the room "What do you say, Brooke?"

"Oooooo" Isabella and Grace coo out. "I like it!" they both say in unison.

Should I agree to this? Should we continue playing Texas Hold'Em but instead of playing for money play for dares? The winner of each hand gets to select one dare for one of the losers and they either have to forfeit and drink or they have to act out their dare. That could be fun. Or we could leave and do something else. Although already being a little drunk from the constant supply of booze I've received since we started playing I was getting a little warm just thinking about all the fun things I could make my friends do...
