September 4th was a day I'd never forget, the rains poring slowly and I was drenched. Feeling like a loser, I felt disappointed in myself. Thinking of just staying wet, I just wanted to enjoy the cold weather and slow falling rain. The lightning and loud thunder didn't scared me nor did it bother me. It was the thought of leaving my Las Vegas life for a minimum of ninety days. To be honest I'd never felt like a loser. I was the overachiever and a nerd behind a computer. Like every rich guy, I was full of myself and well of my head was always in the clouds. My appearance captured alot of attention yet, my skills reflect who I really am. I lived in Las Vegas and the money never stops coming. The sights, the girls, the money, the casinos, yes it was the life. There's always something missing and I'd always admire the couple's that run away to Vegas just to be married. I never had someone to love me but I'd always hope someone or in my case the right one comes. I didn't have a care in the world. Nothing mattered to me expect my company, my ego and genuine love for science has made me rich but lonely. Besides being a computer genius, I loved gambling, let's just say I had a love connection with the cards. Especially the Ace. Well at least so I used to think, until I met Tyler Wesley. Gosh this guy was from hill billy town, in other words Kansas. This state was the one thing I hated. I just never liked the country side. Tyler came to Las Vegas in search of luck and well he found me. I was playing poker that night and it was like the cards were angry with me, I lost every game. I kept thinking how could Josh Rivers lose game of poker?. I was upset and got obsessed with winning. I kept playing until, Tyler sat at the table for the next game. I was drunk and out of control, yes I wasn't a nice guy at the moment. My ego and pride got the best of me. All I wanted was to win, I was mean and reckless. Tyler seemed honest but, he had determination in his eyes as if he was out for blood. Being relentless, stupid and well drunk, I made a bet I was soon to regret. He had a sly look on his face that aggravated me and I somehow felt irritated so I challenged Tyler to a poker game. If he won he'd have my life for ninety days and I'd have his. Gosh I always wished I'd never had said that. His confidence was overwhelming and he was as stubborn as I am so, he accepted the bet. The game was about to start and I knew for a second that I was going to lose but I played hard and fell even harder. The intensity of that game got me cold sweating and I couldn't stop tapping my fingers on the table. As the cards laid flat I lost single handily. Tyler had the Ace, the blind ACE. I was doomed for that ninety days. Gosh I was so mad and shocked at the same time. I regretted every moment of that game. I however didn't go back on my word. I shaked hands with Tyler and signed a contract that I had my assistant constructed. Turns out Tyler had alot of skills in my line of work so, I guess my company was in safe hands. For I didn't know Tyler had a wild side. I decided to leave my best friend in charge. I was about to let a stranger into my life and my home, trust wasn't something I had. Tyler was indeed happy but for me, my night was just getting worse. The rains poured heavily, as I was driving home; I couldn't see the road. I managed to get a flat on the way. I got drenched in the rain trying to fix it. I got home, angry and confused, I popped open a bottle of the finest champagne and rocked back soaking wet on the sofa. Arguing within myself I felt as if I was disappointed. My best friend felt pity and decided to help me dry off with a towel. I told my best friend Talia Dawson, about my horrible night. She was much older to me but she gave the best advice. The next morning, I decided to fly over to hill billy town, yes it was Kansas. Out of every place on earth Tyler had to live in Kansas. My flight landed and the sight of corn was everywhere, I was just ready to quit the bet. Every where I looked, was covered with cornfields and farms not to mention the small white houses. Gosh I was starting to feel home sick already. I arrived at Tyler's home, my mind was filled with hesitation, as Tyler's family came outside to greet me. I hesitated but I eventually had to leave the car. Meanwhile back in Las Vegas, Tyler was having a ball of a time with my best friend. He couldn't believe the house I had, with all the tech stuff, Tyler went insane. He hosted a huge party at my house and empty all the liquor in my that I stocked up. Tyler was taking full advantage of my life at this point. The first person to greet me was Tyler's little sister Maryann, who was the cutest little thing ever. She was just five and she basically won my heart. I know I don't seem like the soft type but there was something genuine about her and the way she spoke. Tyler's mother Mrs.Alisha, was very welcoming and her cooking was the high light of the evening. Her...
