C23 Bets, Bets and More Bets

"Okay, we need to find a venue!" I said from the couch.

We were all sitting in the living room on the couches and the ground. I was sitting beside David and Marcelo and Oscar was sitting on the ground with Dani, Neymar and Rafinha.

Anna and Leo were sitting on one couch and Gerard and Shakira were sitting on the ground leaning on the couch.

Marissa was sitting on the arm of the couch I was sitting on. And the kids were in the playroom playing.

I had a notepad in my hand with a pen.

We decided on the theme and decorations already but we forgot about the venue. So we were currently debating on that. Everyone was having discussions amongst themselves

I tapped David on the shoulder which made him lean in. I leaned in so I could whisper something.

"Bet you $5, Neymar will suggest his place and when I reject it he'll gang up with Leo on me." I whispered.

"You know I was kind of doubting my chances of winning for the first part but the Leo part has my name on the money you'll be giving me." He said slyly.

"Hey, what are you two whispering about?" Oscar asked.

"Yeah, come on tell us." Marcelo whispered.

"Abby's betting me $5 that Neymar will suggest his place and when she rejects it he'll gang up with Leo on her." David whispered.

"Yo, I'm in. There's no way we can lose because I know the last thing Leo will do is team up on his dear sister." Marcelo whispered.

"Yeah! Me too! You're going down Abby!" Oscar whispered excitedly.

"Fine then losers. New deal, If I win, $5 each but if I lose, I'll give you each $10." I said smirking.

"Alright, princess. Take your shot." David said smirking.

"Don't worry, I'm waiting for the right time...for you to lose." I said smirking.

"How are you always so confident?" Marcelo asked.

"He's literally the easiest person to read." I said confidently. I mean, I wasn't lying, he really is easy to read. I could do it with no trouble.

"He's not that easy. The pair of you are just mean for each other. That's why you think that. It's because you know him more than anyone." Oscar said.

No I do not...

The discussion continued and all three Brazilians were grinning a little too extra.

"How about my place?" Neymar finally said.

I looked at the guys and flashed them a smirk. Neymar was falling into my trap.

I looked at Neymar who was looking at me. I raised my eyebrows and made a face.

"Um, no. I don't think so." I said rejecting.

He surprised me when he made an understanding face and smiled. "Alright Abe, I understand." He said.

My mouth fell open. What the hell? I was actually so positive about this. What the hell?

"HA!" All three guys yelled at me. They started high fiving each other. "We finally beat you!" They yelled.

"Ugh, you guys are jerks." I said in disgust.

"Come on Abby, just pay up." David said.

I rolled my eyes and got up to go to the kitchen, where I left my purse. Everyone just looked at the four of us with confused faces.
