Wanna Bet? (30 page)

“
If he loved me, he
wouldn’t have left”

“
He had no choice” he says
softly.

“
There’s always a choice” I
snap back at him.

“
He was having an affair
Brooke” he informs me.

“
What?” I screech making
everyone wince and I take a step toward him. My dad was happy he
loved me; he would never leave me for someone else. Even if he
wasn’t happy with my mum.

“
He loved you, of course he
did. But he was having an affair with someone else up here, She was
pregnant” he says sadly. “He had to leave to raise the baby, he had
no choice”

I lift my leg to lunge at
him for saying such a ridiculous lie about my dad. He told me he
loved me! He wouldn’t leave me for someone else. I’m sure of it. I
saw the look in his eyes when he looked at me. You can’t fake that
kind of love. Before my foot reaches the ground I’m pulled back
with my arms around my back. “Let me go Tucker” I growl up at him.
He shakes his head at me keeping his eyes on Will.

“
Why are you telling me
this?” I yell out at Will who made no attempt to step back from my
attack.

“
Because, you think he
didn’t love you. He did, he just had no choice but to leave. I’m
sorry Brooke. It’s over”

“
Who is she?” I demand. “Do
I
know
her?”

He nods his head at me.
“You’ve met her and her son”

I scan quickly through the
people I have met that have a twelve year old son. Will’s wife and
son drift to the front of my mind and feel the blood drain from my
head as I remember looking at his son, there was something familiar
about him when I met him but I ignored it. It’s been under my nose
this whole time. He looks exactly like my dad just with his mothers
eyes.

“
You bastard” I whisper but
I know he has heard me because he winces.

“
I’m so sorry Brooke” he
says and then jumps from the bar. I watch as he leaves the club. I
try to run after him but Tuckers hold on me is too tight. I
struggle against him but he doesn’t let go instead he lowers us
both off the bar and walks me into the office. I hear the music go
up around the club again. He doesn’t let me go until Matt comes
into the office and stands in front of the door. As soon as he lets
me go I make a run for the door but Matt stops me. Frustrated I
walk over to Wills desk and pick up the frame that holds a photo of
his family. Looking at it closely now I can’t see how I ever missed
the resemblance. Crying, I throw the frame at the wall and as it
smashes I hit the ground putting my head in my knees and cry like I
haven’t since the day he died. The boys let me cry it out and no
one says anything until there’s a knock at the door, Matt lets
Sophie in and she hands me a glass of water and a shot of something
I’m not sure what it is but I don’t care anymore.

“
Well I think you need to
find a new job” Sophie says nudging my shoulder with her
own.

“
Why?” I sniff “Has
everyone left?”

“
Ummm no but you just tried
to attack your boss” she explains.

“
Will isn’t my boss, I’m
his. I’m the owner. He’s the manager” I shrug when they all stare
at me open mouthed. “I saved a lot by being the quiet girl in uni
and I had an inheritance that I invested. It did well”

“
Oh” Is all she
says.

“
Want to tell me what that
was all about?” she asks nervously.

“
Not really no”

“
Well whoever it was I’m
sure he was an asshole” Matt put in.

“
No, it’s my own fault I’m
not enough, never enough” I sigh getting up.

“
When I asked you last
night if you’ve … you know … since …” she trails off.

“
It’s not like that” I
shake my head at her knowing where her thoughts have taken
her.

“
Are you going to be okay?”
Tucker asks watching me closely.

“
Everything I’ve ever known
is a lie. Who knows maybe everyone is right and I really am just a
whore, I should remember that” I shrug and walk out of the office
leaving them speechless knowing that all three of them have called
me a whore at some point.

I take another shot of
Jack Daniels just to prove a point, what that point is I don’t know
but I know I want to prove it, I jump up on the bar and grab the
mic the music stops and I don’t turn around when I hear the office
door open and then close a few seconds later.

“
Okay everyone, enough of
the depressing” they cheer making me smile “Half of my life has
been a lie, the other half I have spent being the little good girl
you all know so well, I say lets get rid of the bullshit, it’s time
to be a bit naughty, what do you think?” I shout and laugh when
they all cheer and clap. “Who’s going to get naughty with me?” I
ask and wince slightly as about seventy “me” screams go up around
the club loudly.

“
How naughty are we
talking?” Andrew asks on the bar with me once again.

“
How naughty can you
handle?” I ask smirking at him.

“
I can handle you honey” he
grins back at me.

“
Wanna bet?” I ask making
him and everyone around us laugh.

“
OKAY, OKAY, I like where
this is going, let’s turn this into a challenge. Lucy help us out
here please” he pulls her up before he has a chance to refuse and
passes her a mic. “You set the challenges and overall looser has to
do a forfeit and remember the naughtier the better” he winks at
me.

“
OKAY guys, first one to
get back on the bar without an item of clothing, you can’t remove
it yourself though” Lucy commands. “Go!” the crowd erupts and
Andrew smirks at me as he makes his way towards a group of women, I
turn around and eye Lucy, Matt and Tucker then jump down in front
of them.

“
You owe me” I say to
Tucker laughing at his expression.

“
What did I do?” he smiles
at me probably thankful that my dark mood has now been
forgotten.

“
You held me back from
hitting Will. Now come on get on with it!” I instruct still
laughing.

“
What do you want me to
do?” he asks nervously.

I unbutton my shirt and
tie it then pull my shorts down a touch so the top of my thong is
showing “Rip it off” I instruct straight faced “I know you can do
it” grinning he does it and hands me my underwear. I jump back on
the bar laughing at a topless Andrew trying to get back to the bar
but being pulled back by women.

“
We have a winner!” Lucy
yells and everyone cheers at me.

“
No we don’t she hasn’t
taken anything off!” Andrew complains when he’s back on the bar. I
pass him my underwear and laugh as he looks impressed.

“
It’s one – nil to Brooke”
she announces

“
Uhh did you hear that?
That sounds good!” I tease

“
OKAY so you each get one
song to impress a member of the opposite sex” She
challenges.

“
Are we allowed to have
sex?” Andrew asks making everyone laugh.

“
No” Lucy laughs. “Now go”
she says as the DJ starts playing “Dirrty” I jump down off the bar
and head towards the stage on my way I grab Derek’s hand and pull
him up off his chair when he’s standing I grab his chair as well
and pull him onto the stage. He’s laughing when I sit him down but
as soon as I start giving him a lap dance his laughter fades. I
dance around him and on him for the whole song then stand when it
finishes. I look around but can’t spot Andrew.

“
How’d he do?” Lucy asks a
brunette in the crowd it’s then I notice that he’s stood behind
her. She puts her thumbs up and smiles.

“
How’d Brooke do Derek?”
Lucy asks turning everyone attention to us.

“
He grins and nods at her”
I kiss his cheek and he grabs my head to whisper in my ear. “Umm I
kind of need to stay here for a bit” I laugh as I pull away and
understand what he means.

“
Do you want to come up and
tell us how good she did?” Lucy asks him.

He shifts in his chair and
shakes his head grinning sheepishly. The whole club laughs and I’m
announced the winner of that round as well.

We meet back at the bar
and straddle it instead on standing on it as Lucy gives us our last
challenge.

“
OKAY so last challenge of
the night. You both need to turn on someone from the opposite sex
but you’re not aloud to touch them” Who’s going to go first?” she
asks.

“
I will” I announce into my
mic and give my full attention to Andrew who grins at
me.

“
Do your worst baby” he
says into his mic.

I scoot a little closer to
him and lift my mic talking softly in it getting the attention of
everyone in the club.

“
Imagine we’re in my
bedroom… I walk up to you slowly and start undressing you, once I
have you completely naked I push you down on the bed and crawl over
you, as I’m hovering above you I start undressing myself … I lean
in … my face just inches from yours … I move slowly, bringing our
mouths closer together … I touch my lips to yours and run my tongue
over your bottom lip… I move my head to trail kisses along your jaw
… behind your ear … down your neck … stopping to suck softly at
your collar bone … I keep moving and run my lips and tongue over
your chest … I softly kiss my way down your belly … my hair
tickling you as I go … I slip my tongue inside your belly button
and suck softly … I run my hands up your thighs and trails kisses
across you from hip to hip watching as your cock starts twitching …
I keep kissing around it … never touching … I go further down and
kiss the inside of your thighs … still avoiding the one place you
want my mouth … I run my tongue over your balls and my breath on
them causes you to shiver … I finally give in and run my tongue up
the length of you … I push the head of your cock into my mouth and
suck softly … Running my tongue around the tip in circles I look up
and watch you watch me … Cupping your balls I move up onto my knees
and take your cock into my mouth … slowly … deeply … savoring the
taste of you … I start moving back and for … sucking and licking …
I can feel you growing even harder in my mouth … You taste so good
.. it’s making me wet … I moan into your cock … making your cock
vibrate with my voice … with one last push I take you all the way
down to the core … I slowly release you and sit up … hovering over
you and I push myself up with my hands … Anticipation is thick in
the air … both of us know what’s going to happen … and it does …
slowly … I take you in my hand … I rub the tip of you around my wet
entrance … I slowly lower myself onto you … It feels so good … you
… filling me completely …” I look up at Lucy “Is that enough or
shall I continue?”

“
Uh … that’s enough” Andrew
says quietly. The crowd starts chanting “continue” but I laugh at
the looks all the men are sending me, well everyone man apart from
Matt.

“
Your turn” I say sweetly
to Andrew.

“
I’m not going to even
bother trying to beat that. You win” he says tightly and drops down
off the bar and heads into the office

“
Need a hand?” I call after
him making all the girls laugh.

Lucy jumps down off the
bar and hi fives me still laughing as she starts to serve
drinks.

“
I’m going to need you to
marry me” Jamie announces as I get the band their
drinks.

“
You’d get bored” I assure
him

“
Eighty percent of the men
in this club will be fantasizing about you tonight” he informs
me.

“
Great” I laugh at them;
they all look at me like I’m clueless.

“
You’re going to make some
bastard a very happy man one day” Cam tells me with a hint of
adoration in his voice.

I shake my head at them as
they all look at me in awe. “I’m just me guys, I only do it for
fun, I like to have a good time that’s all. It’s nothing special” I
inform them.

“
Punch me” He instructs
Tucker who has just joined us at the bar with Sophie and
Matt.

“
Why?”

“
Because there is no way
she is real” he insists making me roll my eyes.

“
She’s real alright” Tucker
informs them setting of Sophie into a fit of giggles.

“
Hard to believe she’s only
had sex…” I cut her off with a glare. “Umm yeah … she’s real” she
finishes lamely.

“
I just like playing” I
shrug at the boys avoiding Tuckers eye who is watching me
intently.

“
If that’s what you call
it, call me anytime you’re feeling playful” Cam says
seriously.

“
We need to have sex right
now; I go back on what I said last night. You can have your bet”
Andrew says grabbing me from behind by my hips and spinning me to
face him.

“
That wasn’t what I bet you
last night” I insist.

“
No you said I got to
choose the guy you had sex with” he reminds me “I choose me” he
says simply.

“
You tired betting that you
could have sex with someone last night?” Sophie shouts at me making
a few people turn and pay attention to our conversation.
