“High Rolling”
Chapter 4

“I have to say that was one of the nicest meals I've ever had,” Hilde stated as she leaned back in her chair and patted her stomach.
“Delicious,” Duo agreed, “my compliments to the chef.”
Quatre beamed. “Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the meal and I'll let the chef know.”
“Would anyone care for dessert?' Trowa asked with a grin.
Both Hilde and Duo groaned. “As much as I would love to, I think I would burst if I was to try and fit anything else in,” Hilde said.
“I'll have to pass too,” Duo said. “But I wouldn't mind a coffee.”
With Duo's words, their waiter materialized at their table to take coffee orders and confirm that no one wished to partake of dessert. With coffees in front of them, the four sipped away, Trowa engaging Duo in conversation regarding the computer game of Duo's he'd purchased and was currently playing whilst Hilde discussed the various shops the Bellagio currently had on site.
Duo managed to smother a yawn and glanced at his watch. “Gee, is that the time,” he said and tried to cover up another yawn.
Trowa chuckled. “It's only ten-thirty,” he said, “Still early by Vegas standards.”
“I know this city never seems to sleep, but I'm afraid I need to. I don't know about Hilde, but I'm pretty beat, it's been a long day.”
“Then you must retire, Duo. There's a lot still to see and do and you'll need to be fresh and well rested to enjoy and appreciate it all,” Quatre said with a warm smile. “I do hope you will explore all my hotel and casino has to offer.”
“I'm certainly planning on it,” Duo replied with a smile.
“Wonderful,” Quatre said.
“If no one minds, I think I'll be heading up to bed,” Hilde said. “I want to go shopping and swimming tomorrow and to do that I'll need my beauty sleep.” She began to stand, the three men also standing.
“I'll be heading up too,” Duo said. “Thanks again for a lovely meal and good company.”
“You're most welcome, Duo,” Quatre replied and shook hands with the other man.
“I'm sure we will see you tomorrow,” Trowa said. “Have a good night.” He also offered his hand which Duo shook.
“Good night,” Hilde said and began to turn away from the table, Duo a few steps behind her.
The pair made their way from the Steakhouse and back through the hotel until they found the Chairmans lounge once more. Slipping his key-card into the slot, the elevator doors opened and the pair stepped inside. Duo placed his card in the slot again and the elevator began to move upward. Beside him, Hilde slumped a little.
“God I'm tired,” she said with a sigh.
“Same here,” Duo agreed and this time he let the yawn show.
The elevator soon came to a smooth stop and the pair exited, walking tiredly down the short hall to their suite. Once inside Duo tossed his key-card to the table and dropped to the sofa where he leaned his head back and closed his eyes. Hilde went through to her room and changed into her night attire.
While Hilde was changing, Duo reached into his pocket and withdrew the ticket envelope Quatre had given him earlier and opened it. Two tickets fell out and Duo picked them up to study. His eyes widened a touch when he read the details.
“What's up?” Hilde asked as she flopped down onto the couch next to Duo.
“Here, read for yourself,” Duo replied and passed over a ticket.
Hilde scanned over the printed information and gave a low whistle. “Wow, Winner doesn't do things by halves, does he?”
“No, he doesn't.” Duo smiled as he read over the information again. The tickets were in the VIP section of the audience and also included a backstage pass to meet with several of the cast after the show. I wonder if hot and hunky will be there? he thought to himself.
“I wonder if the wet dream will be at the backstage thing?” Hilde said with a grin, that grin getting wider when she spotted the blush rising on Duo's cheeks and realizing her boss must have been thinking along the same lines.
“I don't know,” Duo replied, “would be nice to meet him though. Ah shit!”
“What?!” Hilde exclaimed, unable to see anything that would have caused her boss to curse.
“I haven't got anything suitable to wear,” Duo stated.
“I thought that was a line for us women only,” Hilde muttered.
Duo gave her a dirty look. “What I meant was, I only packed casual clothes, I don't have anything that would be of the dress standard required for the VIP section at this show.”
“Lucky you have me then.”
“Eh?” Duo raised an eyebrow.
“I was planning on taking a walk around the shopping areas of the hotel tomorrow, there's several clothing stores around. All we need to do is check them out and get you something suitable to wear,” Hilde said with a smug grin.
“I don't know...” Duo knew what Hilde could be like when shopping and he wasn't too sure he would last the distance.
“Look, you want to make an impression on this hunky guy don't you?” Duo nodded. “Then come shopping with Aunty Hilde tomorrow and we will find you something that will knock his socks off.”
“Hilde, he's just a performer in a show, for all we know he could be married, have a girlfriend or something along those lines,” Duo protested.
“And he could also be gay, single and on the lookout for that special someone,” Hilde countered. “Duo, just trust me. We'll find you something great to wear, something that will make you stand out and he can't help but notice you and then who knows? It's in the lap of the gods from there on.”
Duo sighed. It was pointless to argue with Hilde when she was so set on something and he really did need to get something appropriate to wear. “Okay,” he agreed. “I'll come shopping with you...”
“Yes!”
“But I'm not spending all day walking around stores.”
“Deal!” Hilde squealed. “Now, I'm off to bed, need to get my beauty sleep so I'm all refreshed and ready for tomorrow.” Hilde stood up and gave Duo a peck on the cheek. “See you in the morning, Duo. Sweet, hunky guy dreams.” With a wave of her fingers, Hilde disappeared into her room.
Duo shook his head and sighed again. Picking up the ticket envelope he stared at the half naked man in leather. “Oh god, I really need to get laid,” he muttered and with another sigh, he got up and headed for his own bed.
* * *
“Morning sleepy head,” Hilde greeted as Duo shuffled out into the lounge area.
Smothering a yawn with one hand, Duo scratched at his exposed stomach with the other. His braid was coming apart, wisps of chestnut framing his face, sleep pants hanging loosely on his hips as he managed to navigate his way to the coffee machine. “How long have you been up for?”
“About half an hour.”
“Ah.” Duo finished pouring his coffee, added cream and sugar then made his way to the bar where Hilde was perched on a stool, coffee in one hand and paper spread out in front. “Any interesting news?”
“Not really,” Hilde replied. “Most of it doesn't pertain to us anyway, it's all the local stuff.”
“Considering this is Vegas, I didn't think they would have the LA news in there,” Duo replied.
“Smart arse.”
“What do you want to do for breakfast?” Duo asked, sipping on his coffee.
“Eat?”
“Now whose the smart arse?”
*
“Oh, this is yummy,” Hilde stated and placed a loaded plate on the table. Duo raised an eyebrow at the sight of the full plate. “What? I'm a growing woman and I need all the sustenance I can get if we're going to be shopping afterwards,” Hilde huffed.
“Keep eating like that and you'll be growing outwards,” Duo teased.
“The way you work me into the ground? Not a chance.” Hilde picked up her flatware and began to dig in.
“I'm going to see if I can get some of those pastries, they looked delicious,” Duo stated and got up to head back to the buffet. They had decided to try the breakfast buffet and so far the only disappointment they had was that they wouldn't be able to sample everything. There was just so much to choose from and it all looked and smelled delicious.
An hour later they were sipping on coffees and patting very full stomachs.
“When do you want to go shopping?” Duo asked as he placed his mug back on the table.
“Might as well go now,” Hilde replied.
“Okay.” Reluctantly, Duo got to his feet and followed the woman from the buffet and into the shopping area of the Bellagio Hotel.

“My feet are killing me,” Duo complained as Hilde dragged him into yet another store. “I honestly don't know how you women do this.”
“Duo, you've only been into three stores so far so shut up,” Hilde replied sweetly and spotting the 'casual wear' section, she dragged her boss with her to peruse the garments.
“They call this the casual wear?” Duo muttered as he took in the range of slacks, vests, jackets and button up shirts.
“Do you want to look good and impress this guy or not?' Hilde asked, a little exasperated.
“Well, yes...”
“Then stop with the negativity, go try these on and lets see how you look.” Hilde passed over an armful of items she'd selected and Duo dutifully took them, locating the change rooms and aiming for them whilst still muttering under his breath about pushy secretaries and price tags.
Having tried on several garments, Duo was starting to think he'd never find anything suitable. The styles he'd been forced to model so far had ranged from making him look way too rich to a total 'fairy' as he'd put it.
“I liked it,” Hilde huffed.
“Hilde, it's pink.”
“So?”
“With ruffles...”
“They look cute.”
“And you don't think that the sequins were a little too much?”
“Okay, I'll concede the sequins bit.”
“May I be of assistance?”
Both Hilde and Duo turned to find an elegantly dressed man, obviously a store employee, standing to the side of the change rooms.
“Ah, yes, if you don't mind,” Duo replied, beating Hilde by a few seconds. “I have a show to attend tonight and I'm afraid I didn't pack anything suitable to wear. I need something casual, but a sort of upmarket casual. Does that make sense?” Duo gave the man a sheepish grin.
The assistant gave a small chuckle. “I'm sure I can find you something more than suitable, sir. If you would wait here one moment?”
“Thank you.” The assistant disappeared back into the store, Duo gave Hilde a smug look. “At least he won't bring back something with sequins.”
“I still liked the ruffles,” Hilde grumbled.
“Here you are, sir. Try these.” The assistant handed over a couple of items which Duo took and disappeared into the change rooms with.
“Oh, man,” Hilde stated when Duo reappeared.
“What do you think?” Duo asked as he turned to look at himself in the long mirror.
“I think you're going to be beating them off with a stick,” Hilde breathed. “Duo, you look stunning.”
“If I may be permitted to say, sir; you look very elegant without being over the top,” the assistant stated with a smile.
Duo blushed slightly but had to agree. The cut of the slacks showed off his long legs and fitted snugly around his backside. The gray shirt held a slight shimmer of violet through it and hung perfectly on his lean frame.
“Thank you, I'll take them,” Duo said.
“Very well, sir,” the assistant replied. “Would you like to charge them to your room number or pay for them now?”
“I'll pay for them now,” Duo replied and slipped back into the change rooms.
Within minutes he was back out in the main shopping area, bag with his new clothes in hand, credit card a couple of hundred dollars lighter and feeling rather pleased with himself. “I'll take these back to the suite and hang them up,” he informed Hilde.
“Okay. I think I'll come with you and grab my swim suit. Quatre did say he would reserve a cabana for me to use and I don't know about you, but I'm getting a bit warm and a swim sounds great. You want to join me?”
Duo chuckled. “Maybe later. I wouldn't mind taking a look around the casino, maybe play a few slots, that sort of thing,” he said as they made their way back to the elevator that would take them to their suite.
“Play a few slots?!” Hilde snorted.
Duo raised an eyebrow.
“Duo, this is Vegas, you're a multi millionaire, I'm sure you could do better than play a few slots; those games are for the rest of us poor peasants.”
“Peasants?” Duo questioned, stepping out of the elevator and aiming for the doors to their suite.
“You know what I mean. They have special areas for people that have money, that way you don't have to put up with the noise and all the other crap that the normal people do.”
“We'll see,” Duo said and walked into their suite.
Having hung up his clothes, Duo checked his appearance before walking back out into the living area where Hilde was shoving a few things into a carry bag.
“I'm off to the pool,” she said, noting Duo's questioning gaze.
“Okay. I'm going to have a bit of a play, probably poker or black jack. I'll see you later for lunch?”
“Yeah. I'll be out in one of those lovely looking cabanas,” Hilde replied with a grin.
“Okay, I'll find you.”
The pair separated, Hilde to enjoy the pool area and Duo to try his luck.

“How are you feeling?” Wufei asked as he motioned for his charge to take his place on the massage table.
“Not too bad,” Heero replied. “A little sore around the shoulders.”
Picking up the bottle of oil, Wufei drizzled some onto his hands and rubbed them briskly together before starting to massage those strong shoulders. As he worked, he thought about the best way to let the performer know that after tonight's show he would be required to attend the after show VIP meet the cast party. He knew Heero hated those things and always did his best to try and get out of them, but as he was one of the main performers it was required he attend a certain number of them throughout the year.
Deciding the direct approach was probably best in this circumstance, Wufei took a deep breath and prepared himself for 'battle'. “You do remember that there is a VIP session after the show this evening?”
“Hn. I hadn't forgotten.”
Wufei could practically feel the scowl coming off the other man. “It shouldn't take too long.”
“I don't see why I need to attend these things.”
“You know why,” Wufei sighed. It was an age old argument, one he'd had many times with his 'charge and would probably have many more times yet. By the time Wufei had finished his massage they'd had the argument, Wufei pointing out all the reasons why Heero needed to attend and Heero pointing out all the reasons why he didn't. As was usual, Wufei won and Heero knew he'd have to make an appearance.
“You won't have to stay long then you can take your shower and we'll go out somewhere for supper. My treat.”
“Fine.”

“Hilde, you almost ready?”
“Just coming.”
Duo checked he had his wallet and the tickets, picked up his jacket and continued to pace the living area. Moments later Hilde appeared. “About time,” Duo said as he ran an appraising eye over his secretary and friend. “You scrub up alright,” he teased. Hilde actually looked quite lovely in a pale green dress that was low cut and showed off all her curves. If he hadn't been gay then he'd seriously consider asking his best friend out!
“Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself.” With her purse in hand, Hilde headed for the door. “You coming?” she asked with a sly smile.
“Ah, yes, right behind you.” Duo scrambled his brain, checked his wallet and tickets yet again and followed the woman to the door.
Stepping out into the foyer of the Chairmans Lounge, Duo was pleasantly surprised to see Trowa there.
“Good evening, Duo, Miss Hilde,” he said in his soft tone.
“Good evening, Trowa,” Duo replied and shook hands with the man. Hilde smiled.
“Quatre has arranged transport for you both to the New York New York hotel and show. If you would care to follow me.”
“Thank you, that is most kind,” Duo replied and gave a mental sigh of relief. He hadn't really thought about transport to the show – or back for that matter.
Trowa led them through the main foyer of the hotel and out the front. The doorman, spotting who was walking out, gave a wave to someone Duo couldn't see before stepping forward. “The car will be just a moment, sir.”
“Thank you.”
No sooner were the words said than a slick, silver Maserati pulled up. The driver got out and opened the rear door.
“This is our transport?” Duo said, almost dribbling on himself.
Trowa smirked. “Yes, it is. I trust this will be okay, or I can have the limo come around to take you if you'd prefer?”
“No, no,” Duo hastily replied. “This is fine, well, better than fine, it's perfect.” Duo shut up, knowing he was starting to babble.
“Thank you, Mr. Barton, Mr. Winner is very generous,” Hilde said stepping up to the car and slipping inside the plush interior.
“James here will take you to the show and pick you up afterwards,” Trowa informed them as Duo slid into the back seat next to Hilde.
“Thanks, Trowa.”
“You're welcome. Enjoy your evening.” He remained standing at the driveway as James got back inside the car. As they left he waved the pair off.
“Wow, this is some car,” Hilde said and ran a hand over the plush seat. “Why don't you have one of these instead of that old bomb of a thing?”
“There is nothing wrong with my car,” Duo huffed.
“Maybe not, but even you have to agree, this is real luxury.”
“Well, yeah, it is; but even you have to admit, it's not exactly what you'd go driving around in LA in,” Duo returned with a smirk.
“I suppose you have a point there. Park it outside the office and you'd be lucky to have just the chassis left by the time you came out,” Hilde chuckled.
A few moments later, James was pulling the car to a stop outside the entrance to the New York, New York hotel. He quickly jumped out of the car and opened the door for his passengers.
“That was quick,” Duo muttered to himself as he got out and stood once more in the heat of the Vegas evening.
Hilde followed him out and the doorman came across to speak with James. James turned to Duo and addressed the man. “I will be here to pick you up after the show and return you to the Bellagio, sir. Enjoy the show.” With a bow, James left them.
Duo turned and offered his arm to Hilde. “Shall we?”
Hilde giggled but linked her arm through that of her boss. “Lead on, kind sir.”
A young man stepped forward to open the doors of the hotel for the pair. “Just go through the lobby that way and turn to your left. The entrance to the theater is just there, sir.”
“Thank you.” Arm in arm, the pair entered the hotel and made their way to the theater and hopefully a chance for Duo to do some serious drooling over the man that had captured his interest.
