"So, what kind of movie is this?" Keke waltzed out of the kitchen and into her living room with a bowl of popcorn in hand and two glasses of wine. One for her and Shazam.

"You've never seen Independence Day?"

Shazam leaned forward to scoop a few pieces of popcorn into his hand, "nah not really."

Keke smiled and nudged him in the shoulder, "boy where have you been? This the best action movie out right now."

Shazam made a face and scoffed, "I don't know bout all that."

"You know a better one?" Keke sat back on the couch and pressed the glass to her lips. She was an action movie fanatic. There wasn't a single one she hadn't seen yet, and Independence Day was still the best out of all of them.

She couldn't wait to hear what he had to say.

"I got a busy schedule so I don't get to watch a lot of TV and movies. But Bad Boys is the best action movie, I've seen."

Keke snorted and shook her head, "come on! Bad Boys doesn't even count! It was a comedy."

"No it was action. Will and Martin just made it into a comedy."

"Still not a good comparison."

Shazam smiled and put his hands up in surrender, "aight, since you think your movie better, go'n head and put it on."

"I will do that."

"Nah, matter fact, let's make it a lil more interesting. You think your movie better, how bout we place a bet on it?"

Keke slipped her hand into her shirt and pulled out a small wad of money, "I accept! How much we betting?"

Shazam tried holding in his laughter at her boldness.

Keke paused, her eyes shifting from side to side, "what? I got something on my face?"

Shazam smiled and shook his head, "nah, let's just place five dollars on it."

"What?! Boy, that ain't nothing! Ya should've aimed a little higher. But, then again I wouldn't want to put ya out."

Shazam mushed her face playfully and laughed, "shut up and just play the damn movie."

Keke got up and walked to the TV, "okay, but I hope you ready to lose your money."

"Yeah, yeah talk all that mess."

When Keke finally sat back down, Shazam went into his pocket to pull out a five dollar bill.

Keke eyed him out of the corner of her eye and suddenly snatched it up. Her hands were quick too, he couldn't even catch her.

"Keke chill!" He shouted out. He tried to grab the money, but she'd snatched them both up and took off running.

"Keke stop playing!"

He jumped off of the couch and chased her into the kitchen.

"Keke give me my money back!"

"Nope! You got to take it."

"How you just go'n steal my money like that?" He asked in between laughter.

"Cause!" Keke shouted in between pants.

"That's cause the shit you got me watching is trash, and you don't want to lose."

"Nope! You have to come and get it!" Keke placed the money deep down into her bra and crossed her arms.
