Testing Misha's honesty
Having calmed down a bit since, my thinking became a bit more rational, and I decided that next time I see Misha, I would pretend to not having seen her at the casino at all, and see if she reveals that she was there AND was with a guy. Initially my plan was to tell her everything, like how I saw her with the guy and Angel, and how I used to see Angel too.
However, the irrational part of me decided to see her tonight. That also meant I would go to the casino to try to win one, two, or three hundred to help offset the cost. So after work, I withdrew $2000 and headed there.
Incredibly annoyingly, I lost from the beginning and was never up. After my initial losses, the closest I got was $1950. I was trying to martingale it but a streak of player wins killed me. I needed to keep some money to see Misha, so I left the table with $1000.
Stupidly, I broke it up and bet $500 on player on another table - and lost.
I then went to the ATM and withdrew $800, planning to have two $400 shots at roulette. On my first shot, I won $300. I played a few more spins and was able to nearly win $1000 but then lost a bit more, then left with a $800 gain. It didn't make up for all the losses, but walking out with a loss of $750 was A LOT better than a loss of $1550. I'm glad I've learnt that much.
Anyway, I went to see Misha. My plan was to tell her about my binge yesterday, and see if she reveals anything. If she doesn't, I'd withhold the $100 chip I usually give her. If she does, then I guess it's game on again.
We were supposed to go to the room at the end on the ground floor, but when I feigned going upstairs, she suggested going up so we went to the room on the middle floor. I joked "room six?" in reference to Jane saying that room was haunted, but I doubted Misha knew what I was talking about. In hindsight it wasn't a very smart thing to say.
Once in the room, she told me she saw me at the casino. I pretended I didn't know what she was on about. She said she saw me on Tuesday night, and gestured which tables we were at. I knew exactly what she was talking about but kept up the act. She said she was with a guy friend, and he was losing but at that time he was winning some back, and she needed to stay with him for luck, otherwise she would've come over. She said I disappeared and I pretended I didn't remember (I had lost and went to roulette).
I told her I jigged work yesterday and was at the casino between 10am to about 6-7pm. She wondered why she didn't see me. She said she was there with a guy friend and girl friend starting from about 5pm. I told her I went to eat at 4pm so maybe that was why.
I told her the truth, saying I started with $4000 and won $3000. She said she lost and asked me to guess how much. I guessed $2000 and she said no. She drew a figure on my chest and I didn't get it the first time. She drew it again and I watched, and it was a '12' something something. So I guessed she lost $1200 and said that was alright. Then she told me she lost $12,000.
Fuck.
She said her guy friend lost $20,000 and that it hurt him a lot because he "has a normal job". She said she was in the middle of the losses, so I'm guessing Angel lost less than $12,000. She also said she had my lucky cat with her.
She told me that they had planned a four day gambling binge, starting from Sunday. She said on the first day she won $8,000 and bought them all a big lunch, but on the second day and thereafter she started losing. I asked if she'd buy me lunch if she won and she said yes, and gave a firm pinky shake.
Sometimes as we talked I'd hold her hand, and I noticed at least once she would initiate the hand holding too.
I gave her the $100 chip from my pocket. I was kinda expecting her to pout and say something like how that was nothing compared to what she lost, but she didn't. She seemed grateful that I gave it.
I told her about my day at the casino yesterday, including how Julie and I talked for the first time since she turned me down for coffee. When I explained the bit about her apologising to me, she said that meant she had kept it in her mind and had been thinking of me, and therefore she liked me. I asked why she then turned me down for coffee, and she said it was because I asked her at work, and that you should never ask a girl out at work. I asked what I was supposed to do, stalk her in the car park, and she said she didn't know.
She seemed to know who I was talking about and said she wasn't very good looking. I said when she smiles it makes me happy.
We talked about other things that happened yesterday, like the old man with the card saying (in hindsight) how he knew the outcome, Katie wanting to chuck a shit, and how people always throw chips on the table for change at the last moment. We had lots of laughs, despite her losing $12,000. She said she had borrowed the money from the shop interest free and now needed to work it off. She said it was interest free because she had worked at the shop for so long and had been loyal to the shop.
She also knew who I was talking about when I mentioned a guy who talked a lot. She instantly asked "with glasses?" and said he talks to her too. When I said guys talk to her because she's good looking, she took the opportunity to agree and said guys were drawn to her beauty lol. Anywya, I wondered if she had seen me when I was playing with $5,000 chips in my hand. If she had, I'm sure she would've said it. So maybe my sense of someone looking at me at that time was Angel?
She said when she went to the casino at first, she went to a table and threw $10,000 on the table for chips, not knowing that that amount required the showing of ID. She said she was annoyed because she asked for $5,000 back so she didn't have to show ID but they said it was too late.
I asked if she had been to Crown casino in Melbourne before and she said no. I playfully asked to go together, and she said if she did she would need to take $30,000! I then asked her to go together next time and she nodded, which I believe she meant.
Midway through she went out to get some drinks, and because I always ask for lemonade and since they never have it, she came back with a cup of milk for me. I jokingly asked if it came from her, pointing at her breasts, wanting to generate some sort of sexual context between us at least, and she asked me to go to Julie for it lol.
Towards the end I was saying how I was planning another big day there on Monday because it was a public holiday, and that I'd get revenge for her. When I told her about the one security guard who gives me shit, she said I do look Lebanese and could be a terrorist. I leaned in to kiss her and she allowed me to kiss her on the cheeks.
I also told her I couldn't come on Saturday as I needed to meet friends for bubble soccer. She asked me what it was and I had no time to explain, so I just said I'd tell her next time. As we walked out we kept joking about me getting revenge for her, but now instead of winning her money back, it was that I'd bomb the place. I asked if she'd visit my grave and she said yes.
