Chapter Twenty-one

I had no idea if what I was about to do was right. I had come to a hasty conclusion in my mind and I know this night affect me later but right now, there's no turning back.

" Anny I..." I began and reached out to hold her hand. " Asking you to be my girlfriend is one of the best decision I've made in my life and it has led to one of the best times of my life... but I think I did it with the wrong reasons and now I gotta tell you so maybe we could start this all over again "

She was smiling at the beginning but at my last sentence,the smile faded off.

" What do you mean?" she asked.

" I... ummm... made a bet with my friends to make you my girlfriend and that was why I asked you out"

" What?" she asked, a bit surprised.

" I'm sorry. I just didn't realize it at that time but I am so into you and I just had to let this burden off my chest"

" Well...why are you telling me this?"

" Because they kinda put a bet on me to sleep with you..."

" What?" she cut in and quickly stood up from the bed, withdrawing her hands from mine.

" And you agreed?" she asked.

" No! I didn't that's why I stopped you. Didn't want to take advantage of the situation" I explained.

She sighed and sat back on the bed but farther away from me.

" Anny, I'm sorry" I said. She wasn't even looking at me. Damn! What have I done?

" I think you might have to sleep on that couch " she said after some time. I sighed and stood up.

" Right!"

I looked at her for a while and with such heaviness in my heart, I walked to the door and opened it.

" Goodnight Anny" I said. She didn't reply so I left. Shit! I've fucked up...

Her Pov

Gawd! I feel so stupid right now. I can't believe I almost did that. And I didn't expect that from Rio, I mean I knew that him asking me to be his girlfriend was definitely a bet between him and his friends. I knew that from the day he did but I had never thought he'd come clean and tell me that. And the bet of sleeping with me, I almost helped him fulfill that. I lost a bit of my self control after looking into those eyes and when he had kissed me, I lost the whole of it. What would have happened if he didn't stop me? I'm not angry at him actually, I'm angry at myself that I let myself go to that point. Rio was never meant to see that part of me. The plan was to get him hard and leave him not get myself banged.

Poor Rio, I bet he has finally fallen for me. Didn't actually take much effort from me. Guess he isn't much of a Playboy after all, he just needed the right girl to handle him. I did such a great job.

No! Anny, you can't jump into conclusions like that. This might all be another plan. You never know what these boys are up to.

Feeling sleepy already and tired, I got down from the bed and locked my door. I got back in bed and was asleep before I knew it...
