The Bet

Chapter three

**** The Bet *****.

Thankfully, he is no gentlemen, despite being this handsome. He would make her ex crazy and she would get the date she wanted.

**********

Finally, the long-awaited footsteps were heard and the waiter speed-walked toward them sputtering apologies for the late service.

" What would you have? " the waiter implored kindly.

Michael who had his eyes on the menu for a while now raises his head and stares at the waiter and then Dawn. " I will have a fresh apple omelette and a veggie plate "

The waiter's glare swept over Dawn listening to music. He smiles broadly '' And you ma'am ''

As soon as her eyes departed from the floor to the waiter bashfully. She took off the earplugs and raised a brow with a quirky smile '' Huh? ''

The waiter cleared his throat, virtually choking on his lust. He had never seen a girl so beautiful, he just could not take his eyes off her therefore without properly processing his thoughts, he introduced himself to the loveliest person in the world.

'' I am Josh and I would be the waiter for today and I hope I can satisfy you to the utmost level '' Josh licked his lower lip lustfully. His blissful brown eyes were fixed on the sexy girl.

Dawn looked over to the guy who seemed the least uninterested in the waiter flirting with his date. To entertain herself, Dawn flirted back " So how are you going to spice up my evening '' her finger caressed the lips of her glass.

Josh wore his most titillating smile '' I can bend over something tasty on the grill, let's say barbecue ''

Since she was no fool. Dawn could read the signals he was shooting in.

'' Don't you know it's wasteful to light up a barbecue pit for such a small barbecue? '' the quiet beau spoke coldly. He had, had it up to here, what he hated the most was sharing even when he is not interested in the lady. Josh swallowed hard twice because of that combat. He took the order and left.

At the sight of all the pleasure, she was experiencing disappearing, she sank into her seat and heaved a loud sigh.

'' I hate sharing '' his husky voice echoed alongside dreadful eyes.

She could believe the guy's nerve. He seems to have no involvement when it came to her and now he said he hated to share. ' Am I a Twix ' Dawn thought clenching her jaws tightly.

'' I thought you knew better between choosing a Weiner and banana for your doughnut hole '' he spoke dirty moving his gaze on her pressed thighs.

Instantly her small face flushed with the heat of his burning eyes on the thighs, she clasped tightly.

'' Do not be so cocky, I satisfactorily wished to have a dog in my pants over you. At least they are loyal '' with that, dawn covered a napkin on her thighs.

'' FYI, I hate blondes and I can never fall for you, at the least think of you in any way, MOTHER '' his attention jumped onto his plate for at the moment it was served. He rubbed his hands and dug in. Michael was starving, he hated the food served on planes and he had a fear of flying which made him starve.

Dawn was so angry she could not think straight, her blood boiled and she felt like strangling the cocky stranger. He ate his food very satisfied with the outcome.

'' Is that a challenge?'' she managed to utter clenching the fork in her hand.

Michael looked over confused he sipped water and wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully. ''What are you offering? Grandma ''

'' What if I make you fall head over heels for me in six months ''

Upon hearing this, it came as a shock. He burst into a fit of laughter until he saw the seriousness on her face and he stooped awestruck.

'' Wait, don't tell me you're serious '' he sniggered.

'' Are you a chicken? All of a sudden ''she mocked, imitating the sound of the chicken.

'' At least I am not a child. '' Michael referred to her rainbow Disney ball gown meant for kids. '' I do not want another bounty hunter, this is a sucker punch '' Michael threw the used tissue on his empty plate aggressively.

Needless to say, he knew she would end up like the other girls he had dated. They all fell for him no matter how cold and inhumane he treated them. They were all dumb girls who loved to suffer by his hands making him a sadist.

'' I thought you had some balls ''she picked on his most sensitive side, ' Pride ' as if they knew each other their whole lives

Born cocky he snapped at her comment '' Fine, so you don't go back on your words. Meet me tomorrow for the drafting of the contract. ''

With that, he took his leave.

Dawn tapped her forehead in anger '' There you go again... running your mouth. Marie is going to freak out, luckily he is so a jerk and I could only fall for him when pigs fly '' she placed the last piece of steak in her mouth and chewed the juicy meat as if it was a punishment.

Her cheeks turned red instantly when a soothing peck from pair of lips touched her cheek. It gave her butterflies in her stomach. It was Michael's lips.

'' Give up baby doll, I am no prince charming '' he wrote down a cheque, dropped it on the table and handed out his business card to Dawn. '' See, I am a gentleman '' he sarcastically blurted.

As soon as she could no longer see him. Dawn took out her phone expecting some scolding from her dearest friend.

*****

''' What the heck? You did what? '' Marie yelled through the phone digesting the information.

Nervous, Dawn said '' You are aware of how much I can't resist competition ''

In truth, Dawn is highly competitive. She wanted to win so much so she joined the boy's soccer team using the excuse that the girls were too thin and weak. Her urge to win is a major problem and she takes therapy for it.

''Of course, Dawn, you still race me to the door every time, however, you can't win against Michael. My brother might be the best son and the best brother but he is the worst boyfriend, he does not have a heart and has never been in love nor will ever '' she took a break and sighed in frustration. '' Sweetie, I don't wish for my brother to be your first love. It will be too cruel. '' her voice was cracked like one who was crying out. '' He is not the prince charming in your story because this beast has no sweet side. He is hades at heart. ''

After more and more convincing Dawn came to a final decision on whether to go ahead or not.
