The bet

A new challenge

Ryder's POV:

"You bastard!" The blond in front of me screamed as she grabbed her bra from the floor and angrily shoved it in her pocket. I stayed lying down on the bed relaxed, smirking as I watched her angrily fight back tears, and fail. She clambered around the room and and grabbed her heels swearing and cursing at me the whole time but I remained impassive. This pissed her off even more.
"How could you do that? You said you loved me for gods sake! Feelings like that don't just disappear." Her make up was now smeared around her face and her normally beautifully straight hair was falling out of her fancy up do. She looked like her heart was breaking and I didn't care.
"Your right feelings like that don't just disappear. Because Love doesn't exist at all. I never loved you; I was lying." I smiled maliciously, this was the fun part. Well the second to most fun part. The most first part was when she was in bed with me. My smile stayed locked on my face as I saw her eyes widen then filled with pain. Silently she pulled up her dress then turned around and walked to the door.
I smiled satisfied, that's another one done, I thought. My eyes flew back to whatever-her-name-was And watched cautiously as she stopped at the door. It wasn't uncommon that girls in the past had been so distraught that they'd started throwing things at me so I was watching the blonde carefully. I was ready to protect my best asset if you know what I mean since that's where girls usually aimed for. She surprised me though and turned around to me Calmly. After wiping the mascara from under her eyes she smiled and gripped her heals in her left hand.
"You know what? All my friends were right about you. I should've stayed miles away but I was so so stupid and naive. And although right now this hurts like hell; I know this isn't my problem and that I'll get over you and have a happy life. Whatever went on here and goes on with every girl you go out with is all your problem. I've heard of all the girls you've been with and I stupidly ignored them, but I know that this wasn't my fault. Something happened to you Ryder, and I know that that's the reason you do this. So fuck you. And fuck your problems." She sneered and walked off. I continued staring at where she'd been for what felt like forever.
At first i was calm but then I grew mad. She knew nothing about me. How dare she presume shit she knows nothing about? I angrily jumped out of bed and pulled on my boxers and jeans. So I broke her heart? So I lied about loving her just to get in her pants and leave her? Like she said; she'd heard the stories. She should of fucking known better. She knew what she was getting into when she got with me, I mean I'm me for god sakes. Ryder Axton. That should be enough warning in itself. I fumed and muttered under my breath as I yanked on my tshirt and flip flops and left the guest bed room.
I stormed down the hall and headed back towards the party I was throwing. Me and my friends threw these party's every month or so, this month it was at my house. The boys preferred when it was my turn to throw it due to the fact my father was Jason Axton. CEO of Axton enterprises and millionaire. My house was bigger than theirs and due to my card having no limit we could buy near endless booze. All this equalled to the sickest parties ever which meant more people came which meant more girls for them to hook up with. I didn't care to be honest. I hated my parents and my 'fortune', the only time my dad would talk to me was when I threw these party's and he noticed the huge amount of money missing from his account. They were never home, dad was off in his New York office 11 out of twelve months a year and mom varied between New York and Hawaii. Whatever. Who needed parents when you had a house of servants, right?
I reached the top the second floor stairs and headed down into the masses. There was nearly 300 people here tonight, it had been a great turn out. The music pounded deafeningly and bodies was so crammed together people were dancing on the stairs. Still riled from my conversation with the blond in the bedroom I shoved people out of my way not having time for them. To be honest I just wanted the party over now, I'd had my fun and she'd ruined it at the end by acting as if she fucking knew me. I was severely pissed off and agitated. I decided to find the boys and drink away my anger.
I found Ethan in the kitchen taking shots off of some brunettes breasts who was lying topless on my kitchen island. Great. Now id have to get Bessie my head maid to disinfect it. Dylan was besides him laughing and smashing his back, cheering Ethan on as he approached his 6th shot in a row. He threw it back, his brown curly hair flying as he tipped his head up then slammed the shot glass down next to the other empty five. Jeez. He was hitting it hard tonight; he'd probably argued with Brooke again. Shaking my head I pushed some freshman out of my way and headed towards them.
"Yo Ryder! Where you been at man? Did you see that?" Ethan yelled even though I was right besides him as he grabbed my hand and slapped my back. I smiled despite my self.
"Yeah it was aweosme, I'm a proud mother," I joked looking around to find Isaac, Mason and Elijah. I saw through the glass doors Isaac with some people out by the pool, Mason was probably off in a guest bedroom like I had been and I noticed Elijah laughing and heading our way. These were my boys.
    I'd know Ethan and Dylan the longest; since 1st grade of San Barbara's private High. Then made friends with Isaac and Mason and Elijah somewhere around 3rd and 4th grade. None the less these guys were my brothers. They were the closest thing to family.
    "Ryder!" Elijah shouted and slapped my back, jumping up on the counter as I grabbed a red cup of alcohol. "So do I owe Isaac $50 or nah?"
    I grinned my eat-shit grin and replied with great pleasure. "Hell yes you do, I mean I don't know why you doubted me in the first place?"
    "YAS! That's my boy," Dylan laughed grabbing my shoulders and jumping on my back. I laughed and threw him off and watched him fall to the ground.
   "Dude no way! No one can get into Sarah's pants!" Ethan said grabbing Dylan by the collar and dragging him up. We made our way through the crowd and onto the decking outside joining Isaac at the pool. We all slapped hands then joined him on the bean bags. By now it was near 1am and the music was still blaring, good thing I didn't have neighbours for miles around.
     "What's this?" Isaac asked confused and shaking his blond hair out of his eyes. Justin beiber wanna be.
    "Nothing, Ryder's just lying about sleeping with Sarah that's all," Ethan joked shoving my shoulder so I nearly fell in the pool.
     "Dude how's it lie when it actually happened?" I laughed and wrapped an arm around his head tackling him. After a few minutes of struggling back and forth he pushed me off and we fell down grabbing some more drinks.
     "So you owe me $50 Eli," Isaac gloated. Why was he gloating? He didn't do it, he just assumed correctly that I could.
      "Fair play fair play here you go," Eli joked handed over $50 and smiling. A few random girls walked over to us and tried to flirt but I wasn't in the mood. I sat there and just watched everyone, as creepy as it sounds I found it relaxing. All the boys now either had girls on their laps (even Ethan who this morning was still dating Brook) or attached to their lips.
      Sighing relieved, I smiled and waved at Mason as he joined us out side through the slid doors. By the state of his messy hair and disheveled clothes I guessed my assumption about him being in a guest bedroom earlier had been correct.
     "Hey bro. Wow what's everyone celebrating?" Mason joked grabbing a beer and indicating Ethan, Dylan, Eli and Isaac who all had girls wrapped around them.
     "How I just got Sarah in the sack." I grinned and Mason did a double take.
    "No shit? I'm impressed. What, you've been throw nearly every girl at this school now. Who's your next conquest?" Mason joked. He wasn't patronising me. Mason was just as much as a man whore as i. I had my reason but I wasn't sure what masons was. Maybe he was born that way.
     "Ah I don't know. I mean it's normally Eli and Isaac who call it as they're the ones who bet on it." I said slurping my beer and trying to avoid the gross PDA going on one bean bag away. Don't get me wrong I'm all for a little paying around but seriously. Dylan was nearly at third base. I shivered slightly grossed out.
      "What you guys on about?" Isaac asked joining the conversation and pushing the red head off his lap.
     "Trying to think of fresh talent for Ryder's challenge. But it's getting hard I mean, I didn't think he'd even get close with Sarah." Mason said pealing of his beer label, a sure sign he was really thinking.
     "I don't know..... Hey, Eli?" Isaac said suddenly smacking Eli's arm. Eli jumped and ended up knocking the poor girl on his lap into the pool. We all burst out laughing as Eli stood up and tried to help the brunette out but she just screamed and splashed at him.
     "Wow Eli, you really can get a girl wet," I said and the guys starting laughing all over again. With a red face, Eli slumped down in his seat and flipped me off, causing us to burst out laughing again.
     "What did you want Isaac?" After the laughs died down Eli asked.
    "Oh, yeah! Isn't your cousin coming into town to live with you or something?" Isaac asked remembering his earlier question.
    "Yeah, her names France's. She's called Frankie though. Why?"
    "What do you think, Ryder? What about frankie? Think you could get to her?" Isaac asked me, but was cut off by Eli's sudden burst of laughter. We all looked over confused.
     "What?" I asked. He just shook his head and continued laughing untill he ended up crying.
      "What is it dipshit?" Dylan yelled hitting him on the head.
      "Nothing it's just if you think your gonna be able to sleep with Frankie your having a laugh. She's the most stubborn girl I've ever met and she has these things called standards." He chuckled to himself shaking his head.
"Oh BURRRRNNNN." Isaac laughed like a teenage girl.
"Shut up. I can have her if I want. The deals on." I said angrily. First the whole thing with Sarah and now this? We're people trying to piss me off tonight.
"Ha fine your loss. And you know what? I'm not even gonna go all macho and male and protect my little cousin cause I know she's gonna kick your ass and shut you down. No offence bro. You just won't be able to do this one." Eli said almost sympathetically which really annoyed fine. Growling I crushed my bear can and sat up straighter getting the guys attention.
"Fine if your so sure Eli. If I can't get Frankie to sleep with me before the end of senior year I will give you my car." There was silence. I watched as Eli's eyes widened and the entire group stopped what they were doing to watch. Everyone knows my car is my baby. I won't even let anyone else drive in it let alone give her away. It was a Ferrari F60 America. I felt dirty just saying it. None the less I gritted my teeth and carried on; I was that sure id win. "But when I do win you have to show up to graduation in your robe, butt naked underneath. And when they call your name and you stand up and shake principle Barratts hand you have to drop you rob and take your diploma in all your naked glory," I laughed imagining it now. It would be hilarious.
Eli blushed bright red, he did this quite a lot.
"Oh damn," Mason chuckled listening intently.
"Is it worth it, Eli? I mean he did get Sarah..." Ethan reminded Eli and watching us both with a worried look on his face. I could understand his worry but I wasnt going to let this bet ruin any of our friendships.
"Do you really believe she'll say no to Ryder that much?" Dylan taunted building the suspense. I rolled my eyes but focused back on Eli. His eyebrows were furrowed and he was clearly thinking it over. He finally settled and raised his eyes to meet mine with a smirk.
"I know my little cousin, she was raised properly and she has self respect. She also doesn't trust men at all so yes. I'll take that bet. There is no way she will sleep with you." Eli finally said raising his hand and shaking my already waiting one. Isaac suddenly screamed out 'dun dun dun' and we all jumped in shock. Laughing we got more beer and the bet was forgotten for the rest of the night. Everyone had a blast and about 3am the boys and I jumped in the pool turning the party into a pool party.
Everyone left in the very early morning and as I passed out upstairs in my room once everyone had left, I couldn't help my mind as it drifted back to the bet. I smiled into my pillow; finally something challenging.
