Chapter 323

• "Come on eleven!" Katie yelled at the craps table before Nicole rolled the dice again.
• After drinks and dinner -- mostly drinks and unnecessary trips to the bathroom -- we went to the Aria to gamble. Jess had arranged for a line of credit for the weekend, and we weren't shy about using it. After Melissa had crapped out quickly, Nicole had an impressive role. She made four points, interspersed with hitting a dozen numbers. She held the dice long enough for Katie and Melissa both to go to the restroom and hit the coke bullet. The stacks of chips in front of us grew, but the crowd around our table swelled because of the three hotties in skin-tight dresses standing with me.
• Katie followed it up with a similar run, and by my informal count, we were up about ten grand. Craps had been so successful that our coke supply was running low.
