Read Bet Me (Finding My Way) for Free Online Page A

A few people shout random things out at us making Andrew laugh and me scowl. “You’ll be thanking me tomorrow morning” Andrew laughs into his mic at my expression.
    “Not considering what I would be doing tomorrow morning if you would have let me have my bet” I snap back. Taking no notice of the “oooohhhs” from the crowd and watch as Sophie, Matt and Tucker all snaps their heads towards me when they hear that.
    “Trust me” Andrew sighs
    “Yeah, and you’ll be thanking me when I’ll be cock blocking you for the next three months. Have you ever gone three months without sex?” I say sweetly into the mic. “You’ll hate me for it and I’ll even move in with you if I have to” I insist.
    “Honey, if you’re going to make me go without sex for three months you do not want to be in my house alone with me unless you want to end up in my bed, that is” he says knowingly making me laugh at last.
    “Take me there now and we’ll call it quits” I smirk at him feeling myself relax again and the atmosphere in the club lifts as Andrew and I go back to our usual banter.
    “You couldn’t handle me sweetie” he grins at me.
    “I got five guys stood at your feet that can tell you that you couldn’t handle my mouth let alone anything else” I tease and blow a kiss to the students I was doing the cherry stem trick for.
    “Okay, okay if you could have one thing for your birthday right now. What would it be?” he asks me but faces the crowd.
    “Don’t ask me that. You already know what I want”
    “Okay. If I could give you something what would it be?” he asks facing me now.
    I snort “Don’t ask me that either”
    “It’s hard to find a bet to get around your current intentions Brooke” he sighs.
    “Well if you’d give me my phone back I could sort it out” I say but then an idea hits me. Not one that I want to stick around and watch but one that will save me the regret that I know will come in the morning and it will make me forget all the same. “Okay, I promise that I won’t do what I said, but I need my phone please” I promise.
    “What are you going to do?” he asks away from his mic.
    “I promise I won’t do that, you’re right it was a stupid idea and I’d only regret it tomorrow. But I do need my phone back. Please there’s something else that will make me feel better” I say into his ear so only he can hear. “You can even listen in to the call” I beg now getting desperate.
    I watch as he hands over my phone and go through the numbers finding the one I want and holding it up in between our ears.
    “Hey girlie”
    “Hey, where you to?” I ask
    “At a house party why?”
    “Come to the club”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Yeah, bring a few friends as well. It’ll be worth it. I promise”
    “See you in ten” she hangs up.
    The DJ puts on a song and the crowd start chanting “Dance” so I turn to Andrew and shrug my shoulders “You owe me” he just laughs and takes my hand.
    We spend the next fifteen minutes dancing on the bar, me grinding into his hips and him running his hands through my hair, much to the clubbers delight. When we finally stop to catch our breath everyone is gathering around the bar to get more drinks and Andrew and I jump down once we are both handed a bottle of beer each. Andrew heads back to the table and I promise to meet him there once I have found my friends, I find them stood near the dance floor looking around. I don’t like what I’m about to do and have to stop to hold my stomach for a minute before I head over to greet them.
    Once I’ve spoken to them all briefly and told them my plan they follow me back to the table.
    “Brooke what the hell was all that about up on the …” Sophie trails off when she notices that I’m not alone. 
    “Hey guys, I have some friends for you all to meet. Everyone this is Ade, Louise, Hannah, Adele, Lauren, Whitney and Gemma” I point out each girl when I say their names then turn to the girls. “Girls
