Make him fall

1

"Conner you'd never believe how many dudes your sister has rejected while you were gone this time. It's like she has magic dust up her sleeve that makes men fall in love with her." Candy said while sliding her empty shot glass to the edge of the bar for another one. She was already on her fourth shot of the night.

"Yeah but its not like I actually want them to be in love with me. Career over love any day. Remember?" I downed my second shot not trying to get so drunk that my twin brother Conner would have to carry me home on his first night back in town.

We live in Manhattan near many great colleges but Conner decided to go all the way to California to go to college. He only visited once or twice every year because it was so far away. Recently he decided to move back and continue college here so he could be closer to me.

"There's no way Nicole can make everyone fall in love Cee. She's only 21, what if the men like older woman." He said shaking his head sipping is beer slowly.

"Don't doubt my amazing man skills. Everyone wants to try something different every now and then." I tugged on my little black dress trying to pull it down. it was already mid-thigh but I didn't want it creeping to far up my leg.

"Oh yeah? Let's make a bet then sis. Unless you doubt your man skills." He raised an eyebrow challenging me. Anyone who knows me knows I'm always up for a competition.

"You know she's not gonna turn down a bet. She loves kicking your ass at everything and you know it." Candy knows me like the back of her hand. We've been best friends for about six years now. Ever since we moved to New York.

"You're on bro. Pick your poison." I watched his eyes scan the room. As I looked around the bar most of the men here didn't look like they'd be much of a challenge. There were tables with older men, tables with young guys just here for the food. All of them could fall in a heartbeat. Even the bartender looked like an easy target.

"Him in the corner over there by the biggest T.V. the circle booth. You're screwed." I searched through the bar my eyes landing on the people in the far corner. I nearly feel out of my chair when I saw who was sitting there.

"What the hell Conner? Whatever money were putting on this bet better be an offer I can't refuse. It'll be damn near impossible to make him love me and it'll be even harder for me to try and pretend to love him and his snobby little family." I grabbed another shot and downed it.

The man he chose was none other than Benjamin Newman. He was part of one of the most elite family's in New York. His mother and father owned one of the biggest business here. Ryder was set to take over the company when his parents retire. His brother Ryder and his fiancé Rachel were sitting next to him in the booth. Rachel was taking selfies of her and Ryder both putting on fake smiles, while Benjamin wore a permanent scowl.

"I'll bet you all of my half of the money mom and dad left for us when they died." He stated proudly taking another sip of his beer. I nearly spit my Pepsi out when I registered what he had said.

"That's like 50,000!" Candy practically yelled to the whole bar. Some of the people around us looked over questioningly.

"Like I said before. You're on bro. That's money I cannot refuse. How long do I have to make him fall in love?" I couldn't stop glancing over my shoulder to look at Benjamin in the corner.

"I'll give you three months just to be generous. Plus if you get invited to his brothers wedding in two weeks I'll give you one hundred bucks because I doubt that's happening either." He chuckled at the end of his sentence as if he didn't believe that I could do it.

"Watch and learn bitches." I got up from the bar tugging my dress down once again trying to look as classy as possible. Benjamin was sitting at the end of the booth so it was easy to get him to notice me. I walked over trying to look like I was going toward the bathrooms. When I got close enough to the table I pushed down extra hard on my heel causing it to break. It was already lose when I put them on tonight so breaking it was easy. I pretended to fall landing straight in his lap. On the way down I had managed to knock his beer all over Rachel.

I looked up into his brown eyes and they were gorgeous. Benjamin was buff but not so huge that it was unattractive, but it was obvious he worked out.He wasn't a bad looking guy. He had brown hair with hints of gold and a strong jaw. I quickly jumped up so I didn't seem awkward just sitting in his lap.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! My heel just broke I didn't mean that. I can pay for your dress if it ruined." I quickly grabbed a napkin and started dabbing the spot on her red dress where the beer spilt. Rachel was gorgeous up close she had long brown hair that was curled perfectly. Her eyes were hazel and her makeup looked like it had been done by a professional.

"It's no problem I have other dresses. I'm so sorry about your heels thou those are super cute." She sounded as if she'd already had a couple drinks. I just so happened to be wearing my black heels with a gold snake wrapped around the ankle.

"Thanks they were super expensive but I can always get another pair. Oh and I'm sorry you had to break my fall." I said looking into Benjamins brown eyes. I was lying through my teeth about the shoes being expensive. I got them on sale.

"He's fine." Rachel said, directing my attention back to her. "But to make up for this dress you have to sit with us. You have amazing style maybe you could help me shop sometime. Anyway what's your name?" She said patting the spot on the booth next to Ryder and across from Benjamin. Ryder looked very similar to Benjamin. Same brown hair brown eyes, if you didn't know that Ryder was older you would think they were twins. The only difference is Ryder actually smiles.

"You've got to be kidding." Ben mumbled under his breath. Ryder punched him in the arm.

Knowing I was probably going to be background checked later on I had to lie about my name. I needed a spotless reputation and I had to come off as classy to fit in. I had to come up with something that wasn't hard to remember. My full name is Nicole Sky Branford so I settled for something close.

"I'm Sky. Sky Brandson." I said extended my hand for Rachel to shake. She had a rather firm grip and her nails were perfectly manicured. The ring on her finger shined, it had to at least be two carrots it looked like it cost a fortune.

"Nice to meet you Sky, I think were going to be great friends." She smiled at me showing her perfect teeth. Rachel was without a doubt the most beautiful women I've ever seen. In that moment I knew a friendship with Rachel was the perfect way to get into the family being as Benjamin wasn't very friendly.

"Me too, Rachel, me too." I smirked and looked across the bar to Conner and Candy who were staring talking to each other. I winked at them. Conner sent an evil look and Candy gave a discrete thumbs up. Maybe this challenge would be easier than I thought.
