Intoxicated

Encounter#2

Rivals

Anna was just sitting there at the bar sipping on her mudslide. She began to feel like Josh had stood her up. Those bad butterflies came back churning her stomach. She couldn't hold her confession anymore, it was eating her inside out. As that thought crossed her mind, she held her stomach.

"Are you okay there sugar puss?" Stella asked, she then passed her James Charles tips through her extremely short hair. Its jet-black color just made her complexion pop.
"Yea, I'm good Stell, I just want him back, to be honest, I never thought I would miss him so much, he is a really big part of me," Anna said as she turned to look at Stella. "I want him to be my baby again," She continued.

"Well look at you all love struck hun or is it the mudslide making you talk?" Stella said as she laughed.
"You shouldn't talk about that, you are wasted", Anna replied then started laughing too.
"I am going to pee, be back in a few okay Ann" Stella patted her on her back then left.

Stella felt a bit bad not telling her about seeing Josh, she isn't going to tell her about Stephanie either. I just want to keep Anna's feeling safe but is keeping information from her really going to help her? she thought.

Stella couldn't deny that attraction she felt for Joshua either. She bit her lip as she remembers embracing him from the back. "Man, I just want to tear him apart," she said as she entered the lavatory.

Dressed in black and white, Stephanie pulled a seat near Anna, "One virgin cocktail please" she said to the bartender. Her aura felt like impending doom, one that made Anna shift.
"Anna," Stephanie said with a smile so plain. She just seemed like a walking doll with no emotions and Annabelle.

"Stephanie", Anna replied coldly.
Their heads both looking straight forward. As tension grew between the two girls the air around them began to get so contaminated with hate and jealousy.

Stephanie then turned to Anna and placed her hands on her lap, "Josh is mine, so stay away from him, plain and simple," she said. She then got up and leaned into her ear and whispered, "I took his virginity, try to beat that Anna." As she was about to walk away, Anna grabbed her wrist and braced her, she was just a breath away, her voice was so intoxicating, "ha, I have something you don't, his heart..." she paused then continued, "Time is all I need." Anna walks off and then laughed with conviction, Anna then took a deep breath then messaged Josh.
***
Josh's phone vibrated, a message from Anna.
Hey Josh, something came up, so I am leaving 704 now, I am a bit sad I didn't get to see you. We can meet at a later date. Ok bye.

Josh's phone vibrated in a basket. It was in there along with the rest of the guys' phones.
"So, Joshua Moores, you are poor, you are on a scholarship," Steven Chu said.
"I don't think you should do this wager, it's a big risk on your end," he continued.
Joshua with no change in facial expression said, "Tell me about the wager."

"$10,000 entrance fee," Steven said. "If you don't have it, leave the room." He continued.
Josh felt hurt but didn't show it. As he was about to leave, he heard "I got you, Josh," When he looked back Samuel was already opening his wallet to pay for him.

Steven then got up, and took a paper out his pocket, and said, "This is the list of participants". The first name he saw, was Nathan Anderson and there was the number 20 next to his name.

"So this is how it goes, the winner of the wager gets $550,000 from each participant. If you want to leave the wager you need to pay a million dollars to the guys here, half would be for the group and the other half for the winner. If you want to leave and not pay, we will spread information that would cripple your career before it even begins. Don't worry it's the same for all of us. All you have to do is sleep with a hundred girls, have no STDs, and make sure you have proof that you slept with the girls." He said then gasped for air. "Any questions?" he asked.

"Um, yea, the same girl or different girls, who will my information be with? How can I be sure that my information won't be uncovered even if it's by accident?" Josh said calmly. "how can you guys even afford to do something like this, your parents are the rich ones, not you." Josh continued.

"We all have been saving for a while, so yea, this wager recently came about and we decided it would be more fun to have an underdog, like yourself," Steven answered, then continued, "Different girls, photo of you having sex, and you will delete the photo once we have all seen it and then it's tabulated and recorded. Your information will be safe because Samuel is the man looking after that, he has all of our information and we all have information about him. So, it's a fair game."

"I accept," Josh said with no hesitation. "Great," Samuel said with a laugh. "Here is a list with all the guy's name and their current body count."

"You just have to worry about Nathan, he isn't here tonight, but he is a lady killer," Samuel said.

Josh sat there with the guys and started to think, I should have thought this through, and began to feel anxious, happy but anxious, "You guys are all thots" he said under his breath, Samuel threw his hands over Josh's shoulder and said, "Welcome to the hoe life young one."
"You may not have chosen the hoe life, but the hoe life chose you," Samuel said as he handed a beer to Joshua.
