The Bet

Chapter 6- Club ox

TRAVIS REED POV

After I stood there staring at the door Carly just walked out of holding my face like i just been slapped to god, I snapped out of the trans I was in. Beyond pissed off I rushed out of my office and barged into my bestfriends office getting a few stares from the workers.

"What the hell happened to you?" He asked.

"Dam is it that clear that you can see some thing wrong with me."

"No but judging by the huge hand print on your face it tells me somebody slapped you." 

I shook my head and went to the mirror on his wall. Dam all I see is a big hand print were she left the stinging slap on. 

"So are you going to tell me what happened or is you going to keep staring at your face.?"He sat back and threw his feet on his desk with his pin in hand waiting on me to talk.

" Dam Carly she slapped me."

"Whos Carly?" He asked with one eyebrow raised.

"My now ex assistant." 

Sitting down I couldn't keep standing. So many questions went threw my mind like why did she slap me? Any women would melt at the touch of my hands but then I remember what she said to me.

Im not just one of your many women you sleep with

I know she heard about me the hit it and quit it guy but I do have a heart if she gets to know me. Not saying my rep haven't  gotten me in trouble because it has. Sometimes I meet a women i already den slept with thinking she was somebody new. Some of them are friends with coworkers here and some work at some of my favorite eating spots. 

"Earth to Travis."

I snapped out of my thoughts and blinked a few times.

"Im sorry what you say"

"Why did she hit you?"

"I sorta Ksumm huer"

"Im sorry you did what".

"I kissed her ok.!!!!"

He looked taken back.

"And why the hell would you do that."

"I dont know man one minute im talking to my brother the next im kissing her." I put my head in my hands and started taking deep breaths. "What make it bad is she rejected me".

Along pause 

I looked up at my friend and he was now staring at me, second later he started laughing. He was laughing so hard he fell on the floor and started crying tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Are you done?"

He gets up and dust himself off.

"And may I ask what is so funny about her slapping me."

"Oh nothing just the fact that she dont know you from Adam yet you kissed her without a word with just meeting her that day and expect her to just melt into you with just a kiss."   

"Yeah so."

"Have you ever thought that all women aint the same most have heard about you and im sure shes one of them being that her friend works here"

"ok yeah so" 

He looked as though I was dumb

"Ima break this down to you, You have fount a women that dont care if you have money or cars she just dont wanna be like all those other women that my friend is a wife and I agree with her I wouldve slapped you to."

"Wow thanks man."

"No problem so what you going to do?"

I knew what I had to do and thats find her and offer her job back and this time there wont be no kissing or touching unless she wants to.

"well while you find that out a few of the coworkers asked us to go to this club tonight you in?'

"Yeah sure".

"Really".

"Yeah i need a night out after the day I had."

I get up and walked out his office into my own, I look over at the files and sigh I need to get her back.

Three hours later I pull up to the club and head in. Being as the owner son knows me I walk straight inside with no problem, I looked around to spot the coworkers and my so called best friend. Walking up to the V.I.P section I undo the ropes and find a seat next to Stan. 

"So what you drinking my friend GIn and Juice?'

I nodded and he handed me a drink. I love Gin and Juice the firey flavor going down sending chills down my spine.

Looking up I see Carly and who im assuming is her friend that works in the office. 

"Hey guys im Latina and this is my friend Carly, Carly you know um Mr Reed-

"Um Call me Travis Latina we not at work." I smiled up at her.

"Right well you know Travis and thats Carlos over there is brittany and I havnt met you yet."

Latina points at Stan.

"Sorry Im Stan". He gets up and extend his hand towards Latinas I look up at my friend and notice something in his eye that I cant put together.

"Do I know you" Latina asked

"No but its my job to know you I just didnt know your name." I looked between the two as they flirt with each other.

I offer Carly a seat but she does the opposite, Dam women.

Everybody grabbed someone and went to the dance floor leaving me alone with Carly. Heres my chance to make things right.

"Look im sorry I kissed you I dont know what came over me." I started

"I know what came over you, But im sorry for hitting you I was in a state of shock. Look Travis um Mr Reed Im not like all them other girls so if you only hired me for one thing I think i better find another job." She stood up and started walking away. I ran after her.

"No look its not I know my rep with women can be umm interesting" she roll her eyes. "But I swear thats not what I was thinking at all and I would really love if you come back and I swear no more kissing no touching whatsoever is going to happen." She didnt say nothing so I started back talking " I swear I need you, you saw my office its a mess." That got me alittle laugh from her. "Please". 

I never said please to nobody ever not even my brother when I wanted my favorite toys.

"Fine but any funny business im gone."

"Fair lets make a bet if i try any funny business you get to slap me and quit the job and i will never mess with you again,  and if I win I get to take you on a date."

She looked in my eyes.

"Deal". she shook my hand " You have a week with no funny business ."

Fair enough.
