“You don’t know me yet. But trust me, you will. And once you do, you’ll be as sure as I am that I’ll win.”
“You are so sure of yourself; I’m tempted to agree just to see the look on your face when you lose.”
“Don’t believe me? Call me on it and find out.”
“And when you don’t succeed.”
“Then I’ll never bother you again.” I grin, leaning forward. “But if I win, I get you.”
It seems to take her a moment to process what I’m saying, but once she does her eyes go wide.
“You want to have sex with me?” she hisses across the table.
“Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about it.” From how I’ve caught her staring at me on occasion I know that she’s at least considered the possibility.
“Never.” She draws back like I’ve truly insulted her.
“Liar.”
“I’m not lying. I know women not wanting to sleep with you is a new concept to you, but newsflash, I do not want to sleep with you.” She’d annunciated each word, making sure I heard her clearly.
“Scared you’ll like it too much?”
“You really are the most arrogant person I’ve ever met.” She shakes her head, going in for another drink of beer.
“Don’t mistake arrogance for my ability to read people. You want me, Blue Daniels. It’s just that simple.”
“Oh my god. Do you hear yourself?” She laughs, unable to hold a straight face any longer. “And even if I was willing to consider your bet, which I’m not, how do I know you won’t be screwing with me for a month to wear down my defenses and it’ll all turn out to be one big fat lie once you get in my pants?”
“Sounds like you already know I’ll win. Maybe someone isn’t so sure that love isn’t real after all.”
“I never said that.”
“If you’re so sure I have no way of winning then you have nothing to be afraid of.”
She thinks on this for a minute.
“You know what, fine. I’ll take your bet. And Harris.” She leans forward, “I hope you like the taste of defeat.”
“I like the taste of victory even more.”
