Meka sighed. Toya did a little happy dance.
“The thing is,” Monique started. “We sort of made a bet.”
“You won,” Meka told her. “Consider your dare completed. Now, let’s go.”
“I’m not talking aboutourdare. Not the dare the three of us made. I’m talking about Sin and me, I mean, Orazio. The two of us made a bet.”
That got her friends’ attention.
“What kind of bet?” Meka asked as she stared past Monique to side-eye Orazio.
“I hope it’s the naughty kind,” Toya told her. “Look at her blushing. It must be the naughty kind. Hurry, tell us. Make it quick. He’s walking this way.”
Her entire body tensed.He’s coming this way! Why?Monique started to turn her head to see for herself.
“No, don’t look back,” Toya stopped her. “You don’t want to appear too anxious. Now, tell us about the bet.”
“Well.” Monique swallowed. She was growing nervous now just thinking about it. “He said that he could make me beg...”
“For your life?” Meka finished for her. “Sounds like a human trafficker,” Meka pointed out.
“Girl, bye,” Toya waved off Meka’s words. “So, Orazio promised he could make you beg. Then what happened, Monique?”
“Then, I told him, I don’t beg anyone for anything.”
“Ooh. That’s good. I like that. Great job, Mo,” Toya praised.
“I have to admit, that was a good comeback,” Meka agreed.
“Wait, there’s more. I didn’t only deny that I wouldn’t beg. I started feeling myself and told him that Ibethe couldn’t make me beg.”
“Girl, why did you make that bet? You’resooogoing to beg,” Toya told her. “He walks with BDE.Big dick energy. He’s got,make her beg, written all over him.”
“He does look like he could blow your back out, repair it, then blow it out again,” Meka observed. “I’m ninety-seven percent sure you’re going to beg.”
Monique bit her lower lip. “Wait... there’s more.”
“More?!” Meka and Toya exclaimed in unison.
Biting her lower lip, Monique nodded. “I got a little cocky and issued another bet.”
“What?” her friends asked, speaking at the same time again.
“I bet that I could make him beg.”
Her friends’ mouths dropped open. For a split second, they appeared to be in a state of shock. Then, they both burst out laughing.Well, that was rude!
“Hey!” Monique exclaimed. “It’s not funny. I can make him beg. I can.”
“I hope so,” Meka said, still chuckling. “Because he’s almost here.”
Damn it.Monique smoothed out the imaginary wrinkles in her dress and tried to pull herself together.
“I’ve got one word of advice for you, and then you’re on your own,” Toya told her. “Actually, it’s three words. Suck his dick.”
Monique gasped. “What?”
Why was she questioning it? She’d planned to do that anyway. Still, hearing it said out loud sounded kind of dirty.
