Double Standards (Part 1)

Angry Rooster

After London released his firm grip from my waist I sauntered off toward the bar leaving them to find us a table. Liquid courage is what I needed now if I planned to pull this off. I downed a double shot of tequila and welcomed the burn. Nervous doesn't begin to describe my feelings. I couldn't believe the lengths I was going to just for this dumb sorority. Was it really that important for me to become a pledged sister? My task was to rob some poor sucker. Yea, I know it's a crime, not to mention any sort of hazing was prohibited on campus, but it still happens under the radar. Just so happens London is my candidate and a perfect one at that. Out of towner, doesn't know a soul here or the surroundings. Almost toooo easy of a target.

But those eyes....those eyes of his. Gorgeous yet cold, seductive yet brutal. Not to mention the body he's hiding under that three piece. But I can do this, correction, I have to do this. A part of me felt remorse for what I was about to do to this stranger that was far from home but another part of me nothing more than to wipe that snide smirk from his face once he discovered that he had been taken by little ole me.

I ordered a round of beers for Ela and London and a few shots for me, then headed off in search of them. I found them tucked into a cornor booth and slid in next to Ela. I kept the drinks coming in hopes of getting London hammered to make my task easier.

I looked over to him. "How's your meal?"

"I've had better" he grumbled.

I slid him another beer. "Have another".  I encouraged.

"No thanks" he said sliding it back. "I'm done for now".

I gave him a challenging look. "Don't be a pussy". I taunted.

He stared hard into my eyes and said with a devilish grin "you are what you eat".

My face lit up like a cherry bomb and I could feel the heat rise. "Oh, okay, ummm" was all I was able to sputter from my lips as I broke away from his soul devouring gaze. A deep chuckle erupted from him.

After a few moments I nudged Ela. "Let's go to the bathroom".

"Oh, okay" We excused ourselves and headed off.

Soon as I swung the door open I exhaled "I can't do this shit Ela".

"Yes you can Laney. You have to if you want in". She reminded me.

"Fuck, I know. It's just that he's, he's just so fucking scrumptious, I can't think. I'd much rather make him my boy toy for the night instead of rob him".

Ela laughed. "Whoa Laney, calm your lollypop down and focus. Remember why you need to do this".

I let out a whiny sigh. "I know, I know. I got this. You remember the plan right?" I asked because I love my best friend Ela but she had the tendency to be airheaded.

"Yessss Laney." Ela groaned in annoyance at my hundredth reminder." You'll get him on the dance floor and signal me when the times right. I'll pop the pill in the drink and bring it to you. You'll fake a sip then pour the rest down his throat. Once it kicks in, you'll lead him back to his room and do your thing once he's out cold. Meanwhile I'll be waiting outside in the jeep".

"Perfect Ela! I said finally at ease But another worry came to the forefront of my mind."But wait, your sure this want hurt him right?"

"Absolutely Laney. Just will give him a good nap".

Silently I pumped myself  and swallowed my fear. "okay let's do this". I said with newborn confidence.

I marched back to the table with confidence in my step. "Let's dance" I said grabbing his arm.
