Chapter 9 - chapter 9: the scam

As we get to the hotel Corey looks into his pocket "I only have $20 that's only enough for one night only" Corey said in a concerned way "we will think of something Corey".

Then the owner of the hotel over hears us "look I shouldn't be telling you this but down stairs is a VIP casino only the top people of Mexico are down there" the man said in a deep creepy voice "wait were in Mexico?"

I questioned him "no Mexico is 20 miles away were the in-between" the creepy man said "could we possibly have a look down there?" Corey asked "yeah sure but leave the Mexican dog in your room" the man said in his Mexican accent. We paid the man for one night left Bruce in the room and headed down stairs, it was actually a casino there was people dressed in fancy tuxes and dresses they looked like celebrities, they were playing black jack, poker literally everything. Corey looked at me and said "if we had any money I think I could win I'm pretty lucky" I looked at him like he was insane "oh yeah Corey you have had some brilliant luck so far" I said sarcastically he looked at me and gave me a frown. Then another weird man came up to us he looked decked out like he had a lot of cash, he was wearing a white fancy tux, blacked slick hair and the shiniest shoes ever.

"Look… you wanting to make money I have a job for both of you… follow me" this fancy man said "do they all sound the same and have Mexican accents?" I whispered to Corey "yes Callie we are at the border of Mexico…

they will have Mexica accents" Corey said in a sarcastic tone as we followed this weird man. He shut the door behind us and said "look I have this brother… he stole my one true love" as he was talking Corey cut him off "so you want us to kill him?" in a very happy tone as he said that I slapped Corey round the head "no" the man said I looked at Corey face I have never seen him this disappointed, "she still has the diamond earrings I gave her…

she won't give me them back" the man said "why do you want them back?" Corey questioned the man "well… I'm a single man ready to mingle" "so why don't you buy some more?" I questioned the man. The man looked at me like I was crazy "how do you think rich people stay rich…mhh" the man replied back to me. "So you want us to get the earrings back?" Corey questioned "yes… and I will give you the same amount of money as those earrings" me and Corey looked at each over,

I swear I saw green dollar signs in Corey's eyes "how do you suppose we do that then?" Corey questioned "well my brother isn't the loyal type so…. You flirt with him so he is distracted and you go into their room and get them, they should be in a red velvet case" the man said pointing at me,

I only just realised that he wants me to flirt with his brother. I looked at Corey and he said "no she isn't flirting with him" in a forward tone "ay you too are together?" the man questioned me and Corey both said "well....no….its…copulated" "so you can do it then…meet me here at 10:30pm"

the man said as he gave me a gorgeous, sliver shining dress. "What's this for?" I asked "well you need to look the part" the man said as he headed out of the room, "look you don't have to do this Callie… I could find a way to distract him while you get the earrings… and anyway how could you possibly flirt with a broken ankle?"

Corey said in a concerned voice "look Corey it will be easier stood there flirting than running up stairs and looking for the case… and like the man said he isn't loyal this is the only way" Corey sighed "you don't want me to do it because you will get jealous right…Corey?" I said in a teasing voice while I poked him. He looked at me with an angry facial expression,

"you know who else looks cute when they are angry…you" as I said again in a teasing tone "okay you get dressed and we both walk out separately so it doesn't look too suspicious" Corey said as he changed the subject I rolled my eyes at him and headed into the bath room to get changed.

I walked out wearing this gorgeous dress, Corey's eyes lit up when he saw me walk out, "you…look…beautiful" when Corey said that I blushed a little bit "you…have a little drool just right there" I said as I laughed Corey's eyebrows raised and his lip pouted as he said "well you're not wrong you look amazing… it really looks nice with your green eyes" Corey said I just smiled at him.

"Are you sure you're okay doing this? Especially looking like…that" Corey said while looking away so I couldn't see him blushing "you are jealous… aren't you?" I questioned Corey he sighed "yes…okay but please… don't fall for him?" Corey asked me. I smiled and sat on the bed next to him and grabbed his hand "look Corey… I like you…. I like you I won't leave you for him trust me" I replied back as I saw a little grin shoot across Corey's face.

I walked out first heading down to the casino then a while later Corey came out to go and get the key from him and soon head up to their room.

I see the man from earlier pointing to his brother I head down to go get my flirting on, "hi" I said to the man's brother in a seductive way he turned around "well… hello beautiful" he replied, at the corner of my eye I could see Corey staring but he looked way above the point from angry.
