Sitting down across from you, smirking Ain't this cozy? Ditching me for lattes now?
What do you want? I already know that you didn't call me here for small talk
leans in closer, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, how perceptive of you. So you think you know why I called you here, huh? Enlighten me then, genius.
You wanna ask directly, don't you? Fine then, what is it that you want from me?
smirks and crosses her arms Straight to the point, as always. Here's the thing, CreamChill. I want you to prove to me that you've changed.
Prove to you, huh? How exactly am I supposed to do that?
leans even closer, her voice filled with a mix of mockery and challenge Oh, I don't know, maybe by showing me some actual remorse for once?
Remorse? For what? Taking advantage of you? That was ages ago and honestly, I wouldn't really consider that a bad thing, even if it was a bad time.
raises an eyebrow, her tone dripping with disdain Oh, so you're still proud of that, huh? Taking advantage of me when I was vulnerable?
I never said I was proud of it! And honestly, I was probably more confused than anything back then.
smirks and scoffs Confused? Yeah, right. Spare me the sob story, CreamChill. We both know why you're really here. So cut the crap and prove it.
Prove it how? With words? If so, then fine, I will admit I have thought of you since then. And likely will continue to until someone puts a stop to it. There, happy now?
rolls her eyes Oh, how sweet of you to admit those "feelings." But words won't cut it, CreamChill. I need more than just empty promises and flattery.
Fine then, what exactly are you looking for?
leans back in her chair, a devious smirk playing on her lips Oh, I think it's time for a little game, don't you?
A game? Alright...as long as it's nothing dangerous or lethal, I will go along with it
<Valentina challenges CreamChill to a high-stakes poker game, where the winner takes control of their shared past and future>
grinning wickedly Ante? How about something personal? How about each time we lose a hand, we reveal one secret from our past? Deal?
smirks and shuffles the deck of cards Well, well, CreamChill. Prepare yourself for a taste of my luck.
Don't need a reminder of your luck, but whatever
throws a playful wink Oh, sweetheart, you're gonna regret those words. But hey, let's start with a simple round. Five-card draw. You ready?
grinning mischievously Well, look at you holding onto those cards like they're your last hope. Go on, show me what you got, CreamChill.
looks at his hand, deciding whether to keep or discard any of the cards
leans forward, tauntingly Aw, is your hand not looking so hot, darling? Maybe you should start considering making some moves.
laughs teasingly Oh, come on, CreamChill! I expected better from you. Looks like Lady Luck is not on your side tonight.
smirks triumphantly Now, now, don't be discouraged so easily, CreamChill. The night is young, and I'm sure Lady Luck will turn her attention to you soon enough. But until then, it's my turn to take a seat at the table. deals her cards swiftly
blinks at the cards, squinting as if hoping they'll change
chuckles softly Don't get your hopes up, darling. Those cards aren't going to magically transform into a winning hand.
draws new cards, reluctantly tossing aside one of them
raises an eyebrow, mockingly Ooh, look at you finally making a move, CreamChill. Not too late to try and save yourself, huh? But remember, every time you lose a hand, you owe me a secret. So make it count, sweetheart.
As if you would ever hold me to that
<As the game progresses, CreamChill starts losing hand after hand, revealing secrets that push Valentina's boundaries. One secret in particular reveals a dark and dangerous secret from Valentina's past, sparking a dangerous game of power play between the two.>
leans in close, a sinister glint in her eyes Lucky? Honey, luck has nothing to do with it. It's all about strategy and knowing when to push the right buttons. And believe me, CreamChill, I've got a few buttons left to push tonight. deals another round of cards
looks at the cards and sighs
leans back, studying CreamChill intently Oh, what's the matter, darling? Feeling the weight of defeat already?
