Chapter 26: Trust And et My Parent
"Hey, Sar. What’s up with you? You haven’t been sniffing those herbs again have you?" I teased. This was a running joke, Sarah had bought so ’herbs’ from a friend of hers and lit them in her room to cleanse her aura or sothing. It had ended up being weed and she got high, running down her street half n**ed whist calling everyone on her cell to co and see the parade. She never lived it down.
"Ha ha! No, I’ve just spoke to Ashley who said that the pot for Liam’s ass is now up to $1860! Can you believe that? So, I’m going to give it a shot when he cos out of practice," she said, bouncing on the spot and looking around for them.
I almost choked. $1860. Was that a joke? Holy crap! That ans over ninety girls are going to be begging my boyfriend for sex, offering it to him on a plate and I’m scared to let him touch . Maybe this isn’t going to be as fun as I first thought.
About five minutes later, the boys ca out. "Hi, Liam. Wow, you sll good," Sarah purred seductively as she leant in close to him.
He looked at her, a horrified expression on his face. I bit my lip, hard, so I didn’t laugh. "Hi, Sarah. Listen, you might not have heard but I have a girlfriend, so...." he trailed off, shrugging.
"That’s OK, I don’t mind sharing," Sarah purred, putting her hand on his chest to make him stop in front of her.
He looked a little annoyed. "Sarah, seriously I’m not interested, OK." He moved her hand and got into the car, frowning.
I smiled apologetically at Sarah because she looked a little defeated. "There’s twenty bucks I’ll never see again," she pouted.
I laughed. "Hey, when I win I’ll give you your twenty back." I winked at her teasingly, making her laugh as I climbed into the car.
Today was one of the days that Jake worked, so Liam always dropped him at the gym where he worked Monday to Wednesday evenings. Then Liam usually drove
ho. "Shit, man, I think I’ve been hit on more tis today than I ever have been. What the hell is that about? I tell people I’ve got a girlfriend, and all afternoon people have been begging
to fu-" He abruptly stopped talking, looking at
in the mirror as if he’d said too much. I laughed, bless him, he had no idea nearly a hundred horny girls were trying to sleep with him for a bet! "What’s so funny, Angel?" he asked, raising his eyebrows at
in the mirror.
"You want to know why you’ve had all that extra attention today?" I asked, smirking.
"Yeah," he answered, looking a bit apprehensive.
Jake turned to look at
from the front. I smiled. "Well, there’s a bet going around amongst the girls as to who can sleep with you first. The first girl to get you, wins the pot. It’s pretty good money," I stated, still smirking. Jake burst out laughing, and Liam almost swerved the car into the other lane because he was so shocked.
"They’re doing what? Don’t they know I have a girlfriend?" he shouted, obviously really pissed off. His outrage seed to make Jake laugh harder.
I nodded. "Yep, that’s why they’re doing it. They don’t like the idea of you being attached, seeing as you’re such a player, so they want to be the next one to sleep with you." I shrugged dismissively, pretending it was no big deal when I was actually worried sick about it. How long would he be able to resist all of this attention for?
"How much is the pot?" Jake asked, amusent still clear on his face.
"Over eighteen hundred dollars." I laughed. Liam nearly swerved us off the road again and Jake’s mouth dropped open. He looked at Liam with a look of pure pride in his eyes. "Yep, twenty bucks each. So that makes about ninety girls wanting to be the next one you screw, Liam." I smiled at him in the mirror. He looked horrified, and honestly, a little scared.
"Holy shit, man! You know, you should just choose soone and screw them and split the money!" Jake said excitedly. Liam gave him the filthiest look in the world, like he’d just suggested skinning a puppy or sothing. Jake held up his hands apologetically. "Kidding. Jeez, I’m kidding!" he said quickly, but I could tell by his face that he was actually serious.
"So, that’s why Sarah just hit on
outside the car! Who the hell else is in on this, Angel?" Liam asked, sounding really annoyed about it.
"Well, Jessica’s arranging it. All of the cheer squad, most of the seniors, , Ashley, Nadine," I replied, listing off the people that I knew, but Liam cut
off.
"You?" he asked, with wide eyes.
I nodded, laughing. "Well yeah, eighteen hundred bucks is a lot of money. Mind you, it was only at two forty when I put in, but still, I like to gamble," I joked, giving him a sexy smile in the mirror.
Jake looked like he was going to explode. "You? No freaking way! What the heck are you thinking?" he shouted at , making
flinch. I hated to see Jake angry.
"Jake, it’s a lot of money I just thought, you know, it’d be a laugh. You never know, I may get to lose my virginity to the famous Liam Jas," I teased, waggling my eyebrows at him.
Jake started to laugh, looking relieved; he obviously thought I was joking. I smiled and looked out of the window; I wasn’t good at lying, if he asks
if I was joking then I would have to tell him the truth. "Jeez, Ambs, you scared
then! I thought you were serious." Jake laughed, slapping Liam on the shoulder proudly. "Eighteen hundred bucks that’s aweso, Liam. I wonder how many girls you could bang in one night, if they all thought they were the one to win the bet."
I gasped. Oh crap! Great Jake, put that in his head, I’m sure that’s all he needs to hear since his girlfriend’s not willing to give it up! "Damn it, Jake, I have a girlfriend!" Liam cried, sounding a little exasperated.
"Yeah I know, but co on, girls are going to be pretty desperate to win, I bet you could get them to do anything," Jake smirked, waggling his eyebrows.
"Jake, just stop. I don’t want anyone else; I’m crazy about my girl. I’m not going to screw it up with her," Liam stated proudly. He smiled at
in the mirror and my breathing started to slow down as my panic started to recede. Trust. I needed to trust him and stop assuming the worst all of the ti.
We dropped Jake off at the gym and Liam drove us ho. "You put in twenty bucks betting you would be the next one to sleep with ?" he asked, smiling at
cockily.
"Actually no, the bet is to be the next one to nail you." I shrugged, giggling.
He laughed and gripped my hand as we drove. "I can’t believe that this is happening. I thought that once people knew I wasn’t interested, that they would all leave
alone, not have more girls after ! I’m really sorry." He frowned and kissed the back of my hand softly.
"Don’t worry about it; it’s not your fault. I guess that whole trust thing is going to be needed a lot from now on, huh?" I joked, smiling a half smile, pretending I wasn’t worried about all of the girls that would be throwing themselves at him for the foreseeable future.
We reached my house and he parked in his drive. "Hey, want to co in? We can tell my parents we’re together. I told them I have a girlfriend and my mom almost died, I swear," he said, chuckling and nodding towards his house with a hopeful expression.
"Wow, the whole et the parents thing already?" I joked, pretending to be scared. "I an, what if they don’t like ?" I asked, wrapping my arms around his waist and putting my face in his chest, faking horror. He laughed and so did I. The idea of Liam’s parents not liking
was seriously funny. They already thought of
as a daughter. Liam was an only child because his mom had so problems when she gave birth to him, which left her unable to have more kids, so she loved
and always said that Jake and I were part of the family. I loved them too; they were great people, kind, funny and thoughtful. Actually, just like Liam, though it just took
a long ti to see past all of his bravado.
