Dating the Player For A Bet (Rewriting)

Chapter 3- I made a bet with the player

"What?" I asked widening my eyes a bit shocked to hear that come out of his mouth.

"Go out with me" he repeated showing no signs of it being a joke

"Are you joking?" I asked unsure of how to respond to this

"Does it look like i'm joking?" he said raising one of his eyebrows

"You-you dated and ch-cheated on my best friend" I stuttered

"So?" he asked genuinely confused by my answer

"I can't go out with you." I sharply said getting annoyed

"Oh come on it's for a bet" he pleaded

"So?" I asked mocking him as I crossed my arms across my chest

"Alright let me go over the rules"

"Hey! I didn't agree to this" I huffed irritated that he wasn't take no for an answer

"Too bad" he said annoyed

"Why are you annoyed?"

"Because I'm trying to show you that I changed, and you're not even giving me a chance!" he yelled getting up and off the bed

"I don't even know you! Why do you want me to give you a chance?" I asked befuddled and frustrated by his sharp tone.

"It's because you don't know me. You don't have enough of a bias. Yea there's Chloe, but you don't have anything else against me. I can show you how I am now" he said softly

"Ugh" I sighed "Ok tell me what the stupid rules are and then and only then will I decide whether or not I'm in this bet"

"Alright" he said happily getting back onto the bed hyper with excitement all of a sudden

"I already regret it" I whined

"Shush. Ok just one rule be my gf for at least a month"

"That's it?" I asked expecting a lot more

"Yup" he replied

"What do I get in this" I asked

"You'll get to be the first girl to break up with moi as well as not be cheated on" he said in a stereotypical diva voice.

"Anything else?" I pressed

"Did you want anything else?" he asked smirking as he winked

"Nate don't push it" I said gritting my teeth

"Ok sorry" He apologized "So are you doing it" he asked nervously

"Yea sure" I said looking down

"Great, now we seal it with a kiss" he said grabbing my shoulders slowly leaning in.

"Woah, wait!" I exclaimed as he got closer and closer

"What?" he asked stopping inches away from my lips

"You can't just-"

"TAYLOR!!!" a voice exploded as the door slammed opened. At the sound of another voice Nate and I quickly moved away from each other to other sides of the room.

"Oh god" I quietly said praying for myself as I saw Chloe angrily walking towards me with her fists balled up at her sides.

"What are you doing?" She hissed as she walked up to me

"You don't understand" I said quietly terrified by what she would do.

"Yea I do. He made a bet with you to go out with you didn't he?" she asked looking at Nate hatred flashing in her eyes

"How?" I asked bewildered as I put my hands to my mouth in shock

"That's what he did to me" she said outraged.

"Nate?" I asked looking at his face for confirmation. He just looked away.

"Come on" she said grabbing my arm about to bring me downstairs

"Wait!" he interjected

"What!" Chloe asked in a furious and irritated tone

"I actually want to date her though"

"Why?" I asked feeling annoyed, sad and mostly hurt

"Because I like you" he said in a torn and heartbroken voice

"Don't listen to him" Chloe said as she urged me to go

"I'm telling the truth" he said looking at me with a sad expression "Taylor" he begged

"Taylor, you don't even know him" Chloe huffed getting annoyed. I looked at both of them trying to make a decision on who to go to torned between my options. Either I go to my best friend and wonder if Nate was actually telling the truth, or go to a guy who's possibly going to break my heart and lose my best friend in the process. I'm usually not very good at making decisions under pressure, but this had a pretty simple answer.

I gently took Chloe's hand off my arm and walked towards Nate. He looked up as he saw me coming, stood up straighter and had the brightest smile on his face. As I stood in front of him he finally spoke. "Where were we?" he asked as one hand went on my wait as the other slowly pushed the hair out of my eyes and cupped my face towards him. As soon as he started to lean towards me I stopped him. "Nate.I can't do this, I have to go to Chloe" I said as I saw his eyes start to fade in emotion.

"Oh" he simply said as he moved his hands away and looked down in embarrassment. "I'm sorry"

"I am too" I said as I turned by back on him and walked towards an extremely happy Chloe. I did the right I told myself.

"It's going to be okay Taylor" she said linking her arm with mine as she opened the door.

"I know" I said walking to the door.

"Taylor" Nate called

"What?" I asked annoyed turning around to look at Nate only to feel his lips on mine. His hands were desperately clutching my face while mine were down at my sides shocked at what was happening as well as not knowing what to do. The kiss finished as quickly as it started.

"I'm not going to stop until I get to call you mine" he said determination shining in his eyes.

"Nate..."

 "Goodbye Taylor" he said kissing my forehead before running down the stairs out of the house
