It All Started With A Bet

Tell me more..

So we got into his car and drove off...

Johnny Rockets was about fifteen minutes from the theatre but it took us half an hour to get there because of traffic.

"Does your brother know you are out with me ? I mean, will he mind if he came to know that you and me went for dinner alone ?" Randall asked, probably still intimidated by Tyler.

"Why are you so scared of him ?" I said teasingly.

"Well... I am not scared of anybody. I just don't want your big brother to hate me."

"You're totally scared of him." I said laughing.

"Oh Shut up Hale." He said laughing.

"By the way to answer your question , I don't think he'd mind but maybe don't bring it up if you ever come over." I said , thinking about the kind of reaction Ty would give.

He liked Randall but still...

"Come over to do what Kitten ?"

"Hmmm?"

"You said if I ever came over. Came over to do what ?" A huge smirk replaced the nervous smile that had just adorned his face few moments ago.

"Umm , to study....? Or like watch a game... ? I don't know.... it's an 'If' not a 'When'.

" That's it ?" He purred softly in my ear. I could feel the rush of blood to my cheeks.

" Yeaaa ... I guess."

I quickly looked outside the window hoping he did not notice my reddened face.

But a low chuckle that followed my action told me otherwise.

_._._._._._._._._._._._._

Johnny Rockets was empty which was a bit shocking. They also had those tiny jukeboxes on each table but to my dismay they were non functional.

We quickly ordered. Whilst waiting for the food to come I checked my phone. There were a couple of messages from Liya most of which were winky faces and light teasing. I replied with a 'Haha right'.

As I was thinking of ways to strike up a conversation I realised that I didn't know much about Randall. In fact I knew very very little.

" So.... Randall , tell me more about yourself."

"Well .... do you know the cliche rich kid ,kind of a douche , parents never at home, siblings studying or working .... That's me. Except the douche part."

I laughed.

" I live with George. You saw him the other day. He actually works as the house butler but we've gotten quite close over the years.

That day he was dressed up formally cause I told him that we would have company but otherwise he wears casuals.

My older brother Aiden is studying abroad. He sort off drops in every four months."

"Okay ... so when's his next visit ?"

"In about a week and a half." He said smiling wide.

No doubt he missed his brother.

"What about... what about the dating sphere ?" I asked. Since I saw Delsy in school I always wondered whether there was somebody.

"Right now no. I was dating a girl some while back." As he said this I could see the happiness evaporate from his features. He put his head down and shrugged his shoulders with a sigh.

Wow. I am so good at making conversation. A minute in and the guy wants to bawl.

Seeing him so sad made me wanna just go over to his side and hug him. Just hold him tight till I could nurse a smile back onto his face.

But I hesitated. I still didn't know how close we were. I didn't know if I had the right to.

"Okay umm... Why did you shift schools ?

"Well Parents.. Work... etcetera."

"Oh okay. How often do they come visit ?"

"Not often enough." He said with a smile. It was one of those sad smiles.

I was on some kind of a messed up roll today.

"Sorry..." I said softly.

"No no don't be. I have gotten used to it. It's okay. But you know what let's change the topic. Tell me something about you that I may not know. Hmmm tell me about that one guy ... the one who was smart enough to ask you out." He said.

Thankfully his attention was diverted.

" You remembered?"

"Yeah. I kind of have this great attention to conversational details."

"Or you are the creepy stalker types.."

He brought his face close to mine whilst staring deep into my eyes. Then in a very deep voice he said , "Do I look like one of those types ?"

I nodded slowly not breaking eye contact for even a millisecond.

"Well then you might just be in trouble kitten."

I smiled. Then slowly the smile turned into a giggle and then into a full blown laughter.

I have no idea why but I found that so hot. I don't know if my face was showing how sexy I thought it was.

"You found that hot didn't you?" He said, his classic smirk back on his face.

"Not at all." I said trying to mask what I felt. I doubt it was masked.

"Deep down you're a kinky girl. Damn Hale, totally did not expect that from you."

" Oh shut up. " I said, pretending to be offended. He laughed. He stopped , but then saw my face and started laughing all over again.

His laugh was infectious. Soon both of us were laughing like crazy.

" Okay Okay where were we ?" I said , half in tears from how much we laughed.

" The smart kid?" He said.

"Yes. Well his name is.....
