A look of feigned shock immediately reached Daniel’s expression as the device revealed that they had won the million-dollar cash-out. Grabbing Val and spinning her around with fake excitement as everyone in the building looked towards the two in awe and jealousy. Little did they know the full extent of what happened. When Daniel had finally put the girl down, he hadn’t expected her next move. As his eyes met hers, time did feel like it had stopped for a second, though Daniel was about to pull out of it before he found the girl’s lips upon his own. For a second, Daniel didn’t mind it. Rather, he found himself reciprocating, as one of his hands snaked along her back pulling her body closer against him. Though, then he realized what the hell was happening again. F*cking hell. Pulling away, Daniel had confusion clearly present upon his features as he looked at her. He was going to say something when an employee came down to lead them to a room where they could get the prize. Though Daniel wanted to say something, he couldn’t. Not in front of the employee or it would ruin the charade. So instead, Daniel put his hands around Valerie like a boyfriend would as they sat patiently for their prize. “Have you ever seen a million dollars beautiful, I knew you’d be my lucky charm,” Daniel smiled, looking at the man as they asked for the two’s IDs. Dan handed them the fake ones he had made for the trip - his work was flawless and Daniel knew it. Both of them were aged 21 and after a few questions, they were handed a bucket with chips worth 1.5 million dollars. In reality, 1.5 million was just chum change for the two of them. They both had seen far more in a lifetime - hell, Dan had dropped more money in a day then what they were holding in their hands right now.
The minute they were out of the office, however, Dan gave Val a strange look. “Val… the kiss… we need to…” he started, not knowing what to say. He didn’t necessarily want to stop. At least part of him wanted, but the other part, the part of his head that knew better, was telling him to end it now before one of them got hurt. And with Dan, those he loved always got hurt and he wasn’t willing to let that happen anymore.
