Chereads / Orlean in New Orleans / Chapter 10 - The Bet

Chapter 10 - The Bet

~

Eula left for Zack's party after the game, it was a 15 minutes walk from Ricky's school to the party venue, on arrival she was welcomed with a big beautiful black and gold banner that read "Happy 18th Zack" as she walked in,

the house was beautifully decorated in black and gold from the balloons to the chairs and tables and square shaped lamp hanged above her,

there was a long table filled with varieties of food from cupcakes, pretzels bites, chicken tenders and empanadas, meatballs, chips and dips, chocolate truffles, mozzarella sticks, potato croquettes, pizza, tacos, mini burgers, brownies, sweet corn fritters, sausage rolls, doughnuts, canned beers, white wine, vodka jello shots, candies and other beverages

{wow! it's good to be rich} she exclaimed

as she walked further in,

there where kids at every Conner talking some dancing and other eating, she spotted Skyler with some older boys at a table playing cup pong, Roosevelt was standing beside him

{hey!} Skyler waved at her when he saw her walking towards her {you look beautiful tonight} he complimented her with a smile

Eula smiled and thanked him and he ushered he to the table and introduced her to the guys

{guys this is Eula, she is new to town so let's look out for her}

{nice to meet you Eula } the guys greeted her and exchanged small talks, she found out they also attended UNO as well

{nice outfit girl } Juliana who she didn't notice since said to her

{thanks } she replied a little flustered

Eula was in a blue plaid button down jacket over a black mini cami dress paid with a girl sporty elastic sneaker, she braided her hair tonight looking very beautiful and different from earlier today at the super market

Roosevelt greeted her as well, she had not really paid attention to Eula so she didn't know she was this beautiful, if not she would have never introduce her to Skyler

Skyler was a known Playboy, he had dated all and every kind of woman as far as they were beautiful but she didn't understand why he never made any advances towards her, was she not good enough. she had spent so much time to look good for him but he never complimented her outfit since she arrived but he did for Eula, she was getting annoyed

{Roosy....Roosy...Roosevelt} Skyler called out to her

snapping out of her thoughts she looked at him with a smile on her face

{what were you thinking of that I had to call you thrice before you come back to reality} nudging her he asked

{no.... nothing, why did you call } she was blushing as she spoke

{Zack is asking for your presence my lady} Skyler replied her acting like a messenger

Roosevelt frowned why did Zack need her now, she didn't want to leave Eula with a chance to interact with Skyler but she had no other choice but to go over to Zack

she nodded and walked upstairs to find Zack

{so you are to start at UNO as well} Juliana asked Eula

{ummmm yeah you too right}

{yes and I am so excited, I will a valid reason to not see or speak to my boyfriend, he is a pain in the ass} said Juliana as she rolled her eyes

{haha} Eula laughed and asked {why so}

{he is so clingy, that was the reason I didn't stay back in Los Angeles with my mother's sisters, he wanted us to go to the same school there, wear matching t-shirt when going on dates, always hold hands when walking, call each other every morning and before we go to bed and sometimes even in the day if we aren't going to meet up that day,..... like he doesn't even give me the chance to miss him like ugh!!.... he even made me promise that we would video call each other every day as I decided to come to New Orleans and didn't let him enroll hear}

{he loves you so much and is scared if he doesn't care for you as much you will leave him } Eula said, at least that was what it said in the romantic novels she read

{I don't want that kind of love, really }

the two of them laughed as they walked to the snack table and picked up some food and back to sit down

Eula watched Skyler and the boys play, she never understood what it was that made boys like cup pong, maybe it was because she never played it

{the new chick looks pretty, what do you say we do with her} a boy named Sam asked as he stole glances at Eula and Juliana

the boys knew Skyler won't let them do anything to his cousin, so they didn't bother to bring her name up but Eula was different she was an outsider and she was very beautiful

Skyler turned to look at Eula and then to the boys {leave her alone}

the boys were shocked this was the first time he refused them to play with a girl that wasn't his relative

{bro don't tell me she is your girlfriend} another boy named lucky teased and the rest of the boys laughed

{what if she is... I don't you guys messing around with her } Skyler said a little irritated

{wow you are being serious} said Maxwell, Skyler's best friend {you like her don't you man}

{bro what nonsense! she is Roosy's sister and you all know how much Zack cares about Roosy and all that concerns her } he denied

{we know that but we aren't saying we would do anything bad to her}

{okay what about a harmless bet, just for fun}

{yeah maybe if you Skyler can get her to spend the night with you we will get you what ever you ask for but if you can't you do the same for us } said Alex

{no that is easy for him to do, why not get her to ask you out I mean chase you hard } suggested Sam

{what that is easy for him, girls chase him all the time} Alex countered

{yes they do but not this chick, can't you see she looks innocent, I am 100 percent sure she hasn't being in love talk more of a relationship}

{ do you still think it would be easy for her to chase a guy when she doesn't know what love is } this time Maxwell chimed in, he wanted to know if Skyler was just treating her well as she was Roosy's sister or did he like her

{Skyler the player being in love that would be new and nice to see} he thought to himself

{yeah that make sense let's see is Skyler's charms work magic, I'm placing my bet that he can't get her to chase him}

{I think he can} soon the boys started staking their money on wether or not Skyler can win the bet

Skyler sighed!! he knew she was innocent since he met her and that was why he never made advances towards her and also didn't let the boys play with her, but now he had to play with her feelings, what was he going to do.

if he refused the bet, they would just make another person do it or worst plan something else behind him, he couldn't let that happen instead he will take on the bet and loose against the boys, {yes that is a better option}

{alright I accept your bet, good luck loosing to me.... I will milk you all dry} he smiled slyly to the rest of the boys ....
