The Bet

Chapter Four

"I don't see Blake coming back for more," Bianca yelled. I stopped dead in my tracks.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I said turning to look at her. My hands were shaking, and I was fuming. I shot a quick glare at Blake for telling her, and then glanced to my guy friends who looked at Blake as if were dead meat.

"Oh please, everyone knows you aren't the quietest person when getting laid and everyone saw you and Blake going into the room together at Cole's Birthday Party," she said. I felt my face go pale, I knew being a screamer was going to come back and bite me in the ass one day.

I didn't respond to her, I couldn't make myself look like an idiot and just keep lying. I hate lying, the only lies I have ever told revolved around Camden, who I couldn't even look at right now, and then when the Blake fiasco happened almost three months ago.

I just turned around and walked up to the ticket counter and paid for my ticket and grabbed my snacks. I really wanted to go home, and not deal with this. I knew I screwed up when I slept with Blake it was a complete moment of weakness.

Flashback Three Months

"Are you really not coming into town this weekend?" I said frustrated.

"No Cal, I can't. We lost our spring game and have to watch films all weekend." Camden said, and I heard a girl's laugh in the background. I tried not to let the laughter effect me, but this is the first time Camden has blown me off for another girl. I understand football comes. First, I get it, but I knew he was lying because my brothers were on their way home.

"Whatever, tell the girl you're with to make sure to cradle the sack if she wants you to come faster," I said and hung up on him. I don't understand why he lied to me. I would much rather him to say 'I made plans than to lie to me.' It makes me feel like he doesn't respect me.

"Awe, why the sad face, Cal?" Cole said as he walked into the room. I quickly shot him a punch in the gut.

"What have I told you about calling me that," I said and glared at him. I was not in the mood, I know it is Cole's birthday, but I have turned down every sexual opportunity these past two weeks preparing for Camden's arrival. We haven't seen each other in over a month because of both our midterms. So I was now pissed because I was just lied to, and because I am going to be sexually frustrated for who knows how long.

"Sorry, why do you always go for the gut?" Cole said after he gained his breath back.

"Because hitting you in the face would hurt me, and I'm sorry I didn't mean to hit you that hard on your birthday. I am just frustrated." I said pouring myself a shot of brandy.

"Oh geez, did someone cancel on the princess?" Cole said and poured us both a shot.

"Yes, and I have been preparing for this hook-up for so long, that I have turned everyone down, and now I need a release and no one at this party is good at giving me that," I said taking that shot and pouring another.

"Slow down Callie, you know you can't handle your liquor that well," Cole said taking his shot.

"Well, my options are getting drunk, or a bad lay. I am going with option number one." I said taking that shot and walking away. I stepped onto the dance floor and seen Blake. He was staring at me as if I was the only girl in the room. He must have been looking for me.

"Where have you been?" Blake said, with his strong beer breath that nearly knocked me over.

"In the kitchen taking shots with Cole for his birthday."

"Well, let's go to the guest bedroom. We need to talk," he said and grabbed my arm. I felt those three shots kick in all at once. My head started swaying and got super heavy.
