the bet

JOEY'S POV

She was seriously falling for it. I can't believe that worked. Just say I like her and she's in my hands. And I did like her at one point, until I turned into her bet. Now me and Charles have a bet of our own. I'm gonna see how long it takes for her to want to have sex with me. I'm not gonna actually have sex with her, but we want to see how long it would take for her to willingly give herself to me. I bet on half a year, Charles bet for three months. She wouldn't and he is gonna lose a lot of money. I bet $50 and he bet $100. Aaliyah is holding it for us.
She knows all about the bet and she thinks Madison deserves it.
But then I think does she really deserve it? She didn't want to bet on my love. Besides it'd take longer than a year to get me to fall in live with her.
I walk outside of the movie room when I notice Madison is gone.
Then I hear her say "Well except the kids that just really hate it."
"Really hate what?" I ask curiously.
"Cannabis." She says shrugging.
Then she walks past me and into the movie room.
"She wants me to buy her a gram. My wittle cousin is about to be all gwon up!" He says in a baby voice wiping fake tears. "They grow up so fast!"
"This isn't a good thing!" I exclaim. "Madison wants drugs! Freaking drugs Michael! She's only fourteen!"
"Yeah but she's in high school."
"So what she's in high school?!? It's still very much illegal." I say. "Don't you dare give my girlfriend drugs."
"Oh you mean my cousin?" He asks sarcastically. I nod my head. "The one you're betting on because you just want to see which one was closer to guessing what time you could get her in bed?"
I stare at him wondering how he could've known.
"Oh don't give me that look. You call the bet off or I'll tell her and hold you down so she can cut your nuts off with a wooden spoon." He says, then he leaves.
I text Charles.
The bet is off.

What?

The bet is off, it's not fair to Madison and I like her so the bet is off

Wtf Joey just five minutes ago you were excited to see around what time.

It doesn't matter. The bet is off and tell Aaliyah. You can have my money if that's what it takes. On also tell Aaliyah that she's a fake friend.

Wow what has happened to you?

Madison's crazy fucking cousin

K

I sigh and go inside sitting beside Madison and grabbing her hand. Her hand felt nice in my own even though her hand was sweaty. Maybe she is too hot. Or maybe she's nervous.
I start to play with her fingers and she gets on her phone before texting me quickly. Yep she's a baddie, texting during a movie.
I look at the message and smile. I nod and she gets up and leaves. Five minutes later I do the same thing. Then we just sit in the hallway.
"So..." She says.
"So." I say. "Look I need to tell you something."
"Hmm?" She asks. "Can you tell me later? I have a headache and I just wanna lie down."
"Here." I say sitting down. "You can lie down and lay your head on my lap."
She lays down and puts her head on my lap. I take her hair out of the ponytail and play with it until I hear her start to snore.
She's adorable when she's asleep.
No you don't mean that Joey, remember what she did to you!
But she didn't want to! She actually likes me and she kept on saying no to me because of the bet. If anyone is doing anyone wrong it's me
No you're wrong and I'm right
Shut up mini mind Charles
What is happening to me? I'm freaking spinning and it's so bright.
"Joey wake up!" Madison yawns. "The movie is apparently over."
"Okay." I say, getting up while yawning.
After I get up I take Madison's hand and we all walk out. I look over to see Charles and Aaliyah glaring at me. I just smile at them and wave sarcastically. They shouldn't be mad that I don't want to bet on my girlfriend.
Once we get in the car, Michael starts to talk.
"Okay so me, Joey, Charles, and Maddie are going somewhere once we get home." Michael says.
"Where are you going?" Kaylee asks.
"To...um...to the um..." He trails off.
"He's taking me and Madison somewhere special for a date and I needed his and Charles help to prepare it. So yeah." I say.
Michael gives me a thanks look and Kaylee just nods.
"So we can get you ready!" Kaylee squeals pointing at Madison after she nodded her head a couple of times.
"Um no I think she's good." I say.
"Yep definitely good." She says.
"Fantastic actually." I awkwardly say.
"No we are getting you ready whether you like it or not because you didn't even tell us about your date!" Kaylee says. "Right Aaliyah?"
"Sure yeah whatever." Aaliyah says.
"No Kaylee we are gonna be in a huge rush." I say. "Really she looks bloody fantastic there's no need to change her."
"No I think it's necessary." Aaliyah smirks.
I roll my eyes and wait for someone else to speak.
"I've learned not to argue with her and to just not listen and get out as quickly as possible." Madison whispers to me.
I nod and start to bounce her up and down.
"Stop that!" She says.
I just keep on doing it before she elbows me in the stomach.
"Ow..." I groan.
"We're home!" Michael says. "Madison you have thirty minutes."
We all get out and I go into the guys room. I set my timer for twenty minutes and lay down. Time for some sleep.
