Back to Vegas

Feb 01, 2007 19:05

((Continued from here.))The plane journey back to Vegas was, for the most part, spent in silence. Ginger stared blankly out of the window, watching the patterns in the clouds. Her thoughts weren't particularly coherent, flitting from self pity to how tiny the trees looked below ( Read more... )

Sam had spent a couple of minutes pacing on the tarmac, awating the arrival of his wife. God alone knew who she'd been with of or that matter, how she'd spending her time, aside from frittering away his money.

"How much this time?" he thought to himself.

Tired of looking like a spare part, he got back in to the black limo that had been provided by the Tangiers. They normally reserved such niceties for high rollers.

Not today.

He lit a Gitanes and considered his options.

Frank got up out of his seat and leant into the cockpit. Nicky couldn't tell what he was saying, but he really wasn't too concerned.

"We'll be landing in five minutes", said Frank as he returned to his seat opposite Nicky. Nicky nodded and looked back at his hand. Two Kings. It had a certain sense of irony that was lost on Nicky.

Nicky leaned across to Ginger who was asunobstrusive as it was possible to be, given that she was there at all.

"Time to wipe those crocodile tears away", he told Ginger. "Sam will be waiting for us when we land."

She wasn't quite sure why, but that was her cue to look as good as she could. Even as she carefully applied her lipstick and wiped away the mascara panda eyes, she considered why she was bothering.

Maybe her subconcious knew that if she stepped off that plane looking in control and fabulous, that Sam would be happier to see her. That things would go better and she'd believe that he truly wanted her. Life as 'Ace' Rothstein's wife was a game, an elaborate show to the outside world that they were the perfect couple.

So when the door was opened and she carefully stepped down after Nicky, she did look fantastic. An original Versace print dress, knee high boots in red glossy PVC and a matching red silk scarf keeping her perfect chignon in place.

As soon as the door of the jey had opened, Sam was out of the limo, door open. As they both approached with Frank bringing up the rear, he nodded to Nicky and then turned his attention to Ginger.

"Get in the car." He was talking to her, and motioning her to follow his precise intruction with an outstretched arm, but looking around, like he was expecting the Feds to roll up at any moment.

No 'I've missed you', no 'I've been so worried'. Just a 'get in the car'. She did as she was told, but she took a wide berth. Eyes cast down, not even giving him the satisfaction of eye contact as she passed him, if he were actually bothered enough to look at her that was.

She sat on the far side of the limo, as far as she could physically get without getting out on the opposite side. Crossing her leg, she casually took a cigarette from the gold case in her purse. The engraving that had once brought a tear to her eye was given a brief look of disdain as she flipped it shut.
