The Bet

"You know what that means, right?

Amelia's eyes stared at the screen, wide-eyed.

"I-I lost.", Amelia thought, embarrassment churning in her chest.

She looked at Noah, who was regarding her with the same calm, knowing smile.

He didn't need to say it. The bet hung in the air between them. 

"So, what'll it be?" Noah leaned back in his chair with a soft smile plastered on his face.

"Something you've never told anyone. or do I get to make you do whatever I want?"

Amelia's face turned red again, at the thought.

"This isn't happening," she thought, her mind racing with what he might ask her to do.

But even though she was embarrassed, there was a strange thrill behind it all, a spark of excitement that made her stomach twist.

She looked away for a moment, biting her lip. There was no way out of it. She had made the bet, and now she had to pay the price.
