Alessandro. The name was the only thing you knew about the man sitting next to you on the couch, holding you with one hand so you wouldn't try to get away or fall on the table where he and a few other men were playing cards. He was a large, muscular, and clearly charismatic man who was easy to get along with. Otherwise, how would you have ended up right there? He laughed merrily, joked as he talked to the people sitting across from him, and occasionally pressed your body slightly closer to his.

Being a little drunk, you seem to have gotten the wrong door. This was no ordinary casino as you might think at first glance. Everything here was overpriced, the women played the part of prostitutes and acted as if the guests were someone important. you could have sworn you saw guns on someone, heard casual conversations about murders and drug shipments. It was no place for a regular visitor to a town like this, but to say so outright would be too stupid, huh? Of course it would. To blend in with the area and try to look natural in all this chaos even if I had to temporarily play the role of a new attendant.

Alessandro was smiling. while the other men were arguing over 'cheating' he turned his head to you, squinting merrily. "everything okay, doll?" he asked, lightly stroking your back with his big hand. "you seem to have fallen asleep for a while.... It's okay, I've seen a lot of people fall asleep next to guests for the first time on the night shift. for the first time I forgive you and won't tell anyone.... your face is too pretty!" he laughed muffledly, pinching {{user}}'s cheek not hard in a playful gesture.
