Wanna Bet? (36 page)

“
You do know you’re not a
real police officer, right?” Andrew asks laughing and Mel and Jess
are laughing in the background.

“
Are you really going to
argue with me when I have this?” I say threateningly and pull out a
water gun on him.

“
What are you going to do
when you find someone to arrest?” he asks me clearly
amused.

“
Uh handcuff them” I say
slowly as if he’s stupid.

“
Right, do you have any
handcuffs on you?” he asks just as slowly.

I rummage around in my
outfit and my purse; I even check my bra “Shit I think I left them
on my headboard” I pout.

“
And why are they on your
headboard?” he asks laughing.

I seem to be thinking this
over and then all of a sudden my face drops and I look horrified, I
start stumbling/running away from the camera down the
road.

He runs after me laughing
“What’s wrong Brooke? What did you do?”

“
I left Lewis handcuffed to
my bed! Shit I can get arrested for this!”

The TV goes back to music
videos and everyone is laughing, even the DJ. I cringe as I
remember Lewis, my then boyfriend, we had only been going out for a
month and he left me after I un-cuffed him, understandably since we
were going out fancy dress for his birthday.

“
And I have plenty more
videos like that, if you want to play that game with me Brooke?” he
says walking up to me still laughing.

“
I can think of a different
kind of game I’d like to play with you” I grumble as I walk away
from him and join the band.

“
How’s it going Officer
Brooke? Have we been bad boys?” Cam teases as I sit on the bar
stool next in between him and Derek.

“
I thought you were my
friend” I complain to him.

“
We are, its just too funny
not to” Derek says ruffling my hair.

“
I don’t think I’ve met
Lewis have I?” Jamie asks grinning.

“
No I was going out with
him for a month, that night we were all going out as fancy dress
for his birthday and I hand cuffed him to my bed messing about and
kind of forgot about him, I got home, un-cuffed him and he left. I
haven’t seen him since”

“
Nice” Cam says
chucking.

“
I hate that everyone can
make fun of my embarrassing moments. I’m taking a stand!” I
announce moving from the table.

After making arrangements
with the DJ I climb up onto the bar with my mic ready and waiting,
as soon as the crowd has turned their attention back to me I wave
at them all and smile widely at Andrew.

“
Now I apologize in advance
but I’m going to sing … a few of you will remember the first time I
lost a bet and had to sing for you all but now I’m going to sing
for just one special person. For those of you who haven’t heard me
sing before I just hope you’re drunk enough to block it out” I nod
at the DJ and watch Andrews face fall as the first few notes of
Christina Aguilera’s Fighter come on.

This is the song he was
singing in the bath on that video and only he and I know it. “This
one’s for you baby” I wink at him and start singing and dancing.
The crowd clap along and a dance among themselves. Lucy is cheering
for me along with the band. “I laugh through the chorus and have to
turn my eyes away from Andrew’s scowl or I’ll never finish the
song. Pull Lucy up on the bar and start singing at her as we dance
together.

The whole club join in
with the last chorus and cheer and clap as the song ends. I take an
exaggerated bow and laugh when I see Andrew charging towards me. I
jump down off the bar before he reaches it and run around him to
join the bands table again hoping for safety.

“
I didn’t know you could
sing Brooke” Cam says as I sit next to him. I shrug and take a
drink of my beer.

“
If we ever get fed up of
Tucker we’ll come find you” he winks at me.

“
At least someone
appreciates me” I poke my tongue out at Tucker who just rolls his
eyes at me.

“
A word Brooke?” Andrew
asks standing behind my chair.

“
Umm actually I’m a bit
busy right now” I say not looking at him.

“
Okay then I guess I’ll
just have to have another video put on the screens, how about the
one with the bottle?” He asks too sweetly.

“
You wouldn’t!” I gasp
spinning around to look at him.

“
Oh, I would trust me” He
nods at me.

“
What happened with the
bottle?” Derek asks.

“
Well it involves Brooke, a
beer bottle and a condom”

“
Fine” I snap getting up
and following him through the club as the guys shout after us
asking more about the video.

“
Brooke…” he starts when we
enter the storeroom.

“
Look Andrew, I was just
kidding, I don’t actually have the video your brother does. We were
over his watching films one night and that video of you got put in
on accident. I wouldn’t show anyone it. I’m not that cruel” I cut
him with my explanation before he lecture me.

“
That’s not what I wanted a
word with you about” he shakes his head at me and his expression is
serious, I then notice that he’s hold a CD.

“
What’s that?” I ask
pointing to it.

“
Someone gave it to Lucy
behind the bar with a message for your boyfriend to play it, when
she asked who your was they said the guy you’re always making bets
with”

“
Why didn’t you play it?” I
ask confused now.

He silently hands me the CD
and I look at the label.
Brooke gets busy
in the office.
Is written in neat
handwriting across the disk. I frown and put it in the player we
have in the storeroom nothing happens so I try the DVD player I
wince as I watch Tucker enter the office behind me. The video is
taken from behind the sofa and it looks like camera phone quality.
I shut it off as Tucker places his hands above my head on the door
and turn to Andrew.

“
Can you ask Tucker to come
down here please?” I ask him softly “And thanks … for giving it to
me first” I watch as he nods and leaves. I have the strangest
feeling that I’m being watched but I pass it off as seeing the
video, clearly someone was watching us that night but I’m not sure
what they thought to gain from videoing it and then hoping to show
it to the club.

“
Andrew said you needed
me?” Tucker asks closing the door behind him.

“
Someone left this is at
the bar with Lucy to pass on to my boyfriend” I say walking towards
the TV.

“
Boyfriend?” he asks
confused.

“
Andrew, they wanted him to
give it to the DJ to play on the club screens” I explain as I press
play and we fill the screen. We both watch as Tucker leans down and
kisses me, the kiss quickly turns from slow and soft to fast and
desperate, as soon as we start removing each others clothes I reach
to turn the TV off but Tuckers hand on my arm stops me.

I look up to see he’s
watching the screen intently he pulls me in front of him so my back
is pressed up against him. I feel the definite outline of his
erection against my backside, I turn my head up to look into his
face, he doesn’t move his eyes away from the screen but I can see
the heat in them. I turn back around to watch as I’m pushed up
against the door and lifted at the same time.

I gasp as on screen Tucker
slides inside me while the real Tucker stood behind me slips his
hand up my dress and into my underwear he starts rubbing my clit
with his fingers as he watches us on the screen. My moans both from
me and the TV surround us and I feel Tucker slide my underwear down
along with my dress leaving me naked from the ankles up then the
sound of his zipper going down. He bends me over the table and
slides into me, I rest my forehead on the table but he leans over
my and lifts my chin so I’m watching the screen. As I watch the
passion between us on screen I feel my orgasm start to build.
Tucker isn’t taking it slow with me, he is matching the same rhythm
as the one we are watching it is so intimate and well hot that soon
I find myself crying out at the same time I do on the TV, a minute
later Tucker is following me with a grunt and stills inside
me.

We both catch our breath
as the TV screen goes blank.

“
Shit…” Tucker sighs as he
pulls out of me making me wince slightly “I think I’m going to keep
that tape” he grins at me doing up his trousers.

I try my best to look
angry and offended whilst pulling up my underwear and dress at the
same time but I don’t think it has the desired effect.

“
Are you not bothered at
all that someone videoed that and then tried to show it to the
whole club?” I demand.

“
Well shit Brooke of course
I am but … what can I do about it?”

I stare at him speechless.
I know there is nothing he can do about it and we don’t have
cameras in the office so I can’t check to see who’s been in there
but surely he should be a bit more affected by this. I take the
disk of the player and hand it him.

“
You’re welcome to it but
what are you going to do with it?” I ask him curiously.

He raises an eyebrow at my
question. “I’m sure you can use your imagination”

“
Yeah that’s what I
thought. You do realize this probably isn’t the only copy and
whoever took the video probably uses it for the same thing. It
could end up on the internet. It could already be on the
internet”

“
Christ and I didn’t even
last that long” he complains making me roll my eyes.

“
Sorry to break it to you
but you didn’t even last that long just now and there’s a camera in
here so you can have that video too, if you put them both together
you might actually last longer than ten minutes
stud
” I smirk at him as I walk out
of the storeroom leaving him muttering to himself.

“
You did not take that bet
again” Lucy laughs noticing my lack of a shirt as she joins me
behind the bar.

“
Don’t ask” I grumble
pouring another shot, these seem to be a favorite tonight, I must
have poured about eighty so far and I’ve only been here two
hours.

“
Hey Andrew” I glare at her
as she calls Andrew over; he of course is looking smug. “What did
she bet?”

“
She didn’t make a bet with
me, Tucker bet her that if she asked ten guys for a condom she
would get at least seven. She didn’t believe him and so took the
bet. She collected nine all together” he laughs.

I glare over at Tucker who
is on the stage with the band and as he catches sight of my
expression he laughs through a few lyrics so I flip him the
bird.

“
I’ll get it back” I
declare to myself more than anyone else.

I spot a group of girls
arguing so I throw my shirt back on before I head into the crowd to
calm them down and split it up if necessary. I’m halfway across the
dance floor when someone grabs my arm and is dragging me into a
corner. I look back but all I can see is the back of whoever is
pulling me so I look for a familiar face, I lock eyes with Cam and
watch as he takes in the situation and walks up to Tucker and
discreetly gestures to me, Tuckers eyes are immediately on me then
he looks to the bar alerting Andrew or someone I hope.

Once we have reached the
dark corner of the club my captor turns to me, still gripping my
arm.

As soon as I recognize him
I try to remove his hand from my arm but he doesn’t
budge.

“
We meet again Brooke” he
sneers down at me.

“
Let me go George” I stare
pointedly at my arm but he just tightens his grip. “Someone is
going to come and see where I am any minute now” I try to force my
tone to stay firm but it wavers.

“
Then we better make it
hard for them to find you because we need to talk” he says pushing
the fire exit behind him open and pulling me outside. I can only
hope either Cam or Tucker saw us leave.

“
What do you want?” I ask
trying to get this over with.

“
Why don’t you ever talk to
me anymore Brooke?”

Because you’re a psycho, I
say in my mind but keep that to myself. “I do talk to you George I
just haven’t seen you much lately and when I have seen you I’ve
been rushed off my feet”

“
No you’re more interested
in your
boyfriend
” he shouts the last word making me jump.

“
I don … I don’t have a
boyfriend” I say hating that I’m stuttering.

“
Have you had sex with him
too?” he demands

“
Who are you talking
about?” I ask nervously.

“
That boy you are always
laughing with on the bar”

“
Umm .. no we’re just
friends … please let my arm go George you’re hurting me” I
plead.

“
No, you hurt me every time
I see you and you ignore me. Why Brooke?”
