Saintwood: College Days✔️(Wattpad version)

I want you as mine

Scarlett and I were getting closer and learning more about each other while we dated. The others got to know her, and Elijah softens towards her after the whole debacle with our first date. We had a game night, and I invited her to even the odds. It never ends well for someone when we have a game night, and that person is me.

We started with a poker game and eventually ended up playing an old maid. I have no idea why we played this game since it was a kid's game, but it was always a game we played. I think it had to do with my two uncles starting this tradition.

It came down to Scarlett and myself left since everyone else had used all their cards. Scarlett wanted to make it more interesting.

"Before we finish this hand, I have a little wager," she said with a smirk.

"Yeah, what's that?" I asked.

"If I win, I get to call you mine," she wiggles her eyebrows at me. The rest all looked at me. Geez, nothing like putting me on the spot.

I thought about it a moment, then countered her. "Okay, but if you lose, you have to run around outside in your underwear. You have to yell; I suck at the old maid." I narrowed my eyes and smirked at her, knowing it would make any girl flinch and turn beet red.

She thought about it a minute, then held out her hand. "You're on." Did I mention Scarlett wasn't most girls?

I shook her hand as Drew said to the others, "This should be good." They nodded in agreement.

We played until it came down to the last few cards. Everyone watched us intently as things got heated, and before I knew it, we declared a winner. I bet you're wondering who won? Let's say what happened next was a win for both of us.

"Scarlett, are you sure about this?" Liz asked.

"A bet is a bet. I lost so now; I have to pay up," she said as she stripped off the remaining article of clothing until she was in her bra and panties. She opened the door, not expecting people to be outside.

"Well, this will interest," Junior said.

She took a deep breath and bolted outside. We headed out as she ran passed people yelling, "I suck at old maid!" People stopped and watched her as she ran one way, yelling it and then the other way doing the same thing. We laughed so hard that Drew and Elijah fell over.

As she started her way back, a couple of guys stopped her. "Well, well, well, what do we have here?"

"Looks like someone is ready for a party," the other said to the one guy.

"Well, you know, when you lose a bet, you have to pay up. Now, if you excuse me, I have to get back to my friends," she said, trying to walk past them, but they grabbed her, stopping her.

"Not so fast, sweetheart. We want to be your friends," the one said to her with a smirk.

"Sorry, I have friends," she said, trying to get past them. They wouldn't let her leave.

"Guys, I think we have a problem," Davina said, making us stop laughing. I saw them with her, and my blood boiled.

"Maybe it's time we teach those guys that it's not nice to maltreat someone else's girl," Drew said.

The four of us walked up to the guys with Scarlett. We stood behind them, and Junior cleared his throat. They turned to find us standing there.

"Can we help you, boys?" One guy sneered.

"Boys? I see no boys here. Do you all see boys?" Drew asked us.

"Nope. The only boys I see are the one with my girl," I said casually with my hands shoved in my pockets.
