This is by far going to be the most exciting but most torturing challenge yet. That is, if I can even get past the first week of it, how do you even play hard to get in a damn coffee shop. Sometimes I really do wonder about the advice that Tajsa gives.
But I need not wonder too long cause that is when I see her. She is standing across the room at a small round table with whom I guess is Jo and some other friend. She is dressed in a tight mini red dress with knee-high stiletto boots. Every curve of her body is accentuated, a perfect hourglass figure with that tight ass and breasts firm and more enough than my hand full. She is goddamn hot, and now I want her even more.
"She is goddamn beautiful."
"What are you mumbling to yourself?" Mason asks.
"The girl from the coffee shop. She and her friends are over there."
"Damn, they are hot," Brody agrees.
"They are off-limits until I get my girl."
"How can you say that?" Mason protests.
And Brody joins in. "She is the bet, not her friends."
"How do you think I must get her if you piss off her friends?"
"We not going to piss off her friends." Mason insists.
"Then what do you call hump her and dump her then?"
"I see it more like take her and lose her." Brody and his wise-ass add.
"You guys are disgusting."
"Listen to him."
"Whatever. Go do it somewhere else until I get what is mine."
I watch her; she has no idea that she is even being watched. She has a way that she wraps her lips over the bottle top, a way that she tucks her hair behind her ear when it falls into her eyes and a way she throws her head back when she laughs. At times she is quiet and listens, and at others, she is loud and makes sure everybody else listens to her. She is hot, and she is beautiful; looking at her, the way she carries herself and her body is driving me wild. I want her, she is out of my reach, but I want her. I am so wrapped in my own thoughts that I do not notice that I am now downright rude and just staring.
The next thing I feel is Brody's hand smack right down onto my shoulder.
"Close your damn mouth. You are drooling. And giving us a bad name."
"You already have a bad name; you don't need me to give you one."
"Are you going to sit here and wet the floor, or are you going to talk to her?"
"Tajsa said I must ignore her."
"You seriously not going to listen to Tajsa?" Mason asks.
"Yes, I am."
"Do I need to remind you why we broke up?" Brody asks.
"You cheated on her."
"No, I did not!"
"They had a lack of communication.' Mason adds.
"And now you want to create a lack before you even started."
"I am not creating anything. She is starting it."
"How so?"
"If I ignore her, she is going to want me."
"And then?"
"She will let me ask her out."
"I don't see how this is going to work for you," Mason says.
"Yes, remind me not ever to buy one of your self-help books." Brody laughs.
"Do you two asses have any better ideas?"
"I have not given it thought. And I don't think I am going to either. Do whatever tickles you; just remember you got a week."
"Technically, six full days and a tiny bit left of tonight." Brody thinks he is too damn smart.
"I am so glad I have the two of you as friends; I mean, really what I would have even done without you."
"Sarcasm does not suit your face." is the only comeback that Mason has got.
"And what has happened to brotherly love?" Brody and his dumb ass come closer to hug me.
"Stop grinding my ass, I am ignoring her, and that's it."
It most probably is the dumbest advice in the world, but it is not like my dumb ass knows what to do anyway. The possibility that this is blowing up in my face is closer to me than my next shave. What's the worst that can go wrong? I lose my reputation, which oh, I have already done.
The bickering at our table has attracted some attention, not like we don't normally do, but this time just a bit more than usual, which brings us three damn hot girls walking over to our table. Now Tajsa said no trying to pick up any woman, did that mean no touching too? Maybe at least kissing? How is a man supposed to function with a hot chick that has her ass on your lap, and you can do nothing. This was a dumb ass bet.
As the perky blonde settles herself on my lap, our table finally catches the eyes at hers. Looking like I am not looking at her, I can see she has a very amused smirk playing at the corners of her lips. Her eyes are seeking mine, looking, and waiting for an acknowledgment. But I ignore her as best as I can. And as I said, this is a dumb idea because our eyes eventually do lock.
When they lock, it sends an incredible warm fuzziness through my body. I feel a smile spread over my face; I swear if it were not for my ears, it would be right around my head. Ignoring her has officially failed. Where to now, I have a hot girl on my lap and another gorgeous smiling at me. What more can a man want. I only want one thing now.
I ditch the blonde and make my brave ass over to her table with two whiskeys in my hand, which I am assuming that she drinks. The closer I get, the more nervous I become. I feel like I am a teenager. I stop mere inches away from their table, I have no idea what I am doing, but I am doing it.
"I been watching you suck on that bottle for an hour; I thought that maybe you'd much rather want to suck on this."
"What makes you think I drink whiskey?"
"Well, you not saying that you don't."
"Maybe I am being polite."
"I don't think you know how to be polite."
"And what makes you say that?"
"I don't call putting me down so bluntly this morning anything near polite."
"Is that what you call it? Somehow I think you, not a man that is used to rejection."
"I am a man that gets what he wants; I don't get rejected."
"And what do you want from me?"
"Please come sit at our table?”
"As I said before, I do not date clients."
“I said nothing about dating; it is just a drink. What do you say?"
"Maybe another time, we were on our way out."
"Then I guess I will see you around."
"Then, I guess I will."
I turn around to leave the table, but I stop.
"Can you at least tell me what your name is then?"
"It is Skye."
"It's nice to have met you, Skye."
"Thanks for the whiskey, Damon."
"I am surprised you remember my name."
"As I said, I have heard of your reputation."
I turn back to go to my table.
"See you soon, Skye."
With one big smile on my face, I return back to my table. I might not have ignored her, but I think I made her feel that it does not bug me that she did not say yes. The thing is, it did, and I hate to sound desperate, but I am. If I can't get something I want, it frustrates me; it drives me so wild I feel that I can go stir crazy. This girl is making me go stir crazy now.
I only have six days left to ask her out, and so far, she has already said no to me twice. If she says no only once tomorrow, then I'd say we are making progress. I am confident that before the week is done, she would be the one doing the asking.
This morning when I wake up, I am alone. Yes, no perky blond or hot brunette either. Just me spread across my entire bed, totally alone.Even though not many parts of my body agree, I am feeling great. My dreams were somewhat filled with images of her gorgeous smile and those hot legs in those stilettos. Oh, how I want them wrapped around my waist. All these empty spots should be filled by that sweet ass of hers.Imagining her in my bed is so not what I should be doing now. I rather drag my ass to the shower and get ready for the day. I am hoping I'd see her now when I meet the boys down at the coffee shop.I go for one of my best hot but professional looks and make my way out the front door.I take the short walk over to Crazy Beans in the cool crisp morning air. That part that was feeling great is feeling very much nervous at the moment. As soon as I enter the coffee shop, my eyes scan for her, but she is not here."Man, you making it look obviou
I make the fifteen-minute walk in over half an hour. I need to clear my head; I was so looking forward to seeing her, definitely not for this disaster to happen. Who brings coffee from home to a coffee shop anyway!At the office, Tajsa is sitting clearly waiting for me."Morning, Mr. Chase.""Morning Tajsa.""I hope that is not her coffee that she threw all over you?""Yes, it is but not the way you think.""What did you do?""I walked into her; she messed her coffee on us both.""How do you walk into her?""I was rushing out of the shop.""Okay, what did they do?""That idiot brother of mine took her friend home.""Oh my god, the man is an idiot, does she know?""The ass says that she doesn't.""Why did you not stop him last night?""I left early because I thought she had left, but obviously, she didn't.""You what?""Yes, yes, make a joke now; I left the club earl
I quickly rush into the bathroom and fix my hair and splash some water on my face. I slip into a clean shirt and put a new jacket on, a few gargles of mouth wash, and I'd say I am as good as new to go.I buzz the front desk again."Tajsa, you can send him in.""I will send her in, Mr. Chase.""Tajsa, what have you done?"But she does not answer; instead, there is a gentle knock on the door."Mr. Chase.""Skye!"I nearly fall back over; there is, and I am most definitely visibly is the biggest smile on my face ever. I don't know if it is the whiskey, but I feel warm all over.I show her into the office to come to sit down at the table"I am glad to see you have changed into something with less of a coffee aroma." she chuckles as she points to my shirt."And I see you finally got out of that shirt."She takes a seat next to me on the couches and places a bag in front of me on the table. I can clearly s
She turns and leaves the building, making her way down the road. What I fail to notice as I make my way back upstairs is that my shirt is all scrunched up still, my hair is a total mess, and I have the dumbest ass smile on my face. This is surely going to cause a stir around the building.Back upstairs, Tajsa is already waiting for me in my office."Why did I not hear any screaming?""Maybe because we were talking.""Don't bullshit me, Damon, you and a beautiful woman alone in a room?""Okay, I might have kissed her.""Just kissed her?""Yes, a damn lot of kissing her. I have not kissed so much since senior year. I feel like a stupid schoolboy.""So my plan worked?""Yes, and since when do I send flowers?""Since today and it worked out quite fine, didn't it. I was not expecting her to come at all.""Now, what do I do next? I am not sending flowers every day and do just kissing. I mean, it is hot and all, b
As I lay spread across my bed, I suddenly feel a stir. Wait! Something is wrong. I cannot remember coming home with her. I feel her move again. My body stiffens, and I panic. Damn, this is so not how I wanted it to happen. I would have hoped our first time would have been one I would have at least remembered. Then she moves again. I might as well face the moment. I slowly open my one eye, bracing myself for the worst.“What the fuck are you doing here? How did you get in? Bella?”I was making myself ready for the worst morning after ever, trying to explain how much I drank and that I did not mean to forget, but instead, I find this.Bella“How did you get into the house?”“I let her in.”“What the fuck are you doing here?”“I drove your drunk ass home. And now that I see you okay, I am going home. I will see you at the office later.”“Thanks, is there anything ba
I am standing at the Reception of Hamilton Enterprises with a beautiful woman in front of me; she seems very familiar. I do hope that I have not met her at Myst before, or even worse than that, I have slept with her and never phoned her back. Luckily as she mentions her name, I can for sure say that her number has never been on my phone.“Call me, Amber.”“Amber, it is so nice to meet you.”“Do you want to follow me to my office? Is there anything that I can get for you?”“Just a glass of water.”“A bit of a late night?”“I guess you can say it was.”We get to her office, where I am seated in front of her by her table. She looks at me intensely as we wait for her assistant to bring her coffee and my water.“You sure you don't want any coffee?”“I just had some over at Crazy Beans, thank
She heads on to her car and follows me to mine, after which we make it back to my place.I show her to the kitchen, where I pour us each a glass of wine. Yes, I know, this is not the bet, I should be at her home.I take a seat next to her in the lounge.“So are you going to cook, or are you ordering in?” she asks.“I am going to surprise you and show you that I can cook.”“I think I am going to stop saying you are full of surprises.”“You know so much about me, and I know nothing about you.”“I don't feel like talking now, I want you to kiss me again.”Damon “I won't say no if you let me carry on where I stopped at”She takes my hand and places it back to where it was earlier on over her breast, with my fingers squeezing her nipple. I kiss her again, but this time it is wild and hard and hungrier than an animal. I tangle my hands in her hair as I pul
I take her by the hand and lead her up to my bedroom; as she sits down on the edge of the bed, I slowly push her back onto the mattress and begin to crawl up her body. I start kissing her deeply again, taking my expert fingers and let them move around underneath her panties.I take my lips to her folds again, tasting every bit of her, then an hour later, my tongue is pumping in and out her, and then a while later, her juices are exploding over my fingers again and not nearly getting enough of how good it is to hear her screaming my name.We are lying staring at the ceiling when she finally speaks.“I think I should probably go home sooner or later.”“You are welcome to stay here; it is kind of late already.”“Oh fuck, I was supposed to have met the girls at the club.”“Shit, and I missed drinks with the boys.”“Guess we kind of got a bit carried away there.”“We
When you were little you thought that the shape of a real heart was actually the shape of a heart. You thought that fairy tales were real, you believed in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy too. But then you grow up and all these things disappear.On a day like today, these fairy tales are brought to life, everything you are and feel is symbolized in that little shape of a heart. Today all your dreams come true.
Let me tell you a story about a boy and a girl. The boy and the girl meet, they fall in love. They waste so much time running away from each that they had to fall in love again. But this time the boy is clever, he refuses to let the girl go again. The boy asks the girl to marry him, the girl says yes. Now they are running off to paradise in the sunset to get married. They won't be a boy and a girl anymore, they will become man and wife.In little than six days, I will get married, not just to anyone but to the girl of my dreams. To say that I am not scared would be a lie. I am terrified, I hear you ask why. The thing is, yes in the beginning I was a terrible bo
Damon Chase, if you asked me who he is six months ago, well let's see, famous playboy with an insatiable sex drive. Loved an easy woman and the thrill of fast cars, also multibillionaire with a ruthless business drive. In a man's world, the perfect man but in a woman’s world, depending who you ask, a man whore.Never did I know what love is let alone being in love. I never thought anyone would ever make me smile, laugh and capture my heart. Never did I think I will fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. Whether it was fate or karma, love found me and I found love.My journey has come far, at times I did not understand it and at times it was really hard. My love was questioned and my patience tested. I have learned that people aren’t perfect, that relationships aren't perfect. What I have learned is it is the ride that matters and who you have by your side.&nbs
The things you go through now, the heartache and the pain, the smiles and the laughter, prepares you for your fate, for your destiny. All the if's, the why's, the will's and want’s, brings you what you ask for. So when you ask for something make sure to be clear or you may land with something you asked for but did not really want. If you the lucky few you will get what you asked for but receive a whole lot more, a whole lot that you did not expect but that you realise you actually wanted.All we wanted was to play a little game. Silly boys that push the limit to proof a point. Our game was simple, it was supposed to be easy but there is nothing easy about
Everybody deserves light in their life despite all the darkness around them. We all need someone that is there when we think that we are all alone. We need a dream, something to believe in, and something that makes us strong and gives us the will to fight for another day. When you give a man hope, you give him life.We are visiting Skye's dad today, a serious of very unfortunate events that started because of one cruel man, my father, have left a man in a place where hope rarely lives.
She has the most beautiful blue eyes.Behind those beautiful eyes lay secrets deeper and darker than the mysterious sea.Some secrets are better left hidden.
Someone once said that every man is trying to live up to his father's expectations or makeup for their father's mistakes.Lucky I never had a father like that, because I wanted to be exactly like my father one day. There is nothing like being at the top with the world at your feet. Having everything you want within arm’s reach.But being at the top gets very lonely after a while. All the fast cars and easy woman is never enough to fill that void. It takes a special kind of woman to make you change your ways.My mom was that special kind of woman but there is a thing that they say about restless bones. My mom would say that his restless bones found my father a gold digging hand.My bunny and I are sitting cuddled up in the lounge watching reruns of her favorite hospital drama when my phone lights up. It is my father.&n
Never did I believe there are anything such as complete happiness until I met her. If ever there was one thing that I did right, it is falling head over my feet in love her. Watching her as she is laying here next to me proves that there are angels walking the earth. Damon ~”Morning sleepy head.” Skye ~”
The worst part is waiting, waiting for her to say no or yes. Two little words that will determine the way my life begins or ends. The thing is, I will wait for her even if it is forever because the best part of waiting is getting what I been waiting for and that is her.Damon ~”So what do you say my little bunny? Will you be the real Mrs Chase?”
