I Bet
"Hello ladies," 26 year old Freddie Benson walks over to a bar table with four blondes who are sitting together drinking.
"Hey sexy," one of the girls says "Girls I'm sure you've heard of Freddie Benson," she practically gushes as she speaks.
"Yea!" The girls say in unison.
"He's SO cute!" on of the girls squeals.
"So are you," he says in a growl lifting her chin up with his hand. They all squeal again.
"Listen ladies, I have to be somewhere in the morning and, I would stay longer but maybe we could arrange something." He says giving them each a card with his personal number on it. They squeal yet again and Freddie says his goodbyes.
He walks out of the bar and into his silver Porsche; he drives down to his large apartment building which is about a 10 minute drive from the bar. His phone rings while he's driving, it's Gibby. Tomorrow, the whole gang would be getting together for Spencer's second wedding, his first wife had passed away leaving Spencer in grief, but it had been a year and a half and he was starting over again to a brighter future.
"Hey man," Freddie says into the receiver of his iPhone.
"You coming to the wedding right?" Gibby asks, Gibby, Freddie, and Griffin had been roommates and party mates. They all made a bet on who could stay single the longest and Griffin lost out along with Gibby, they were back with Tasha and Carly. Freddie didn't really date but he had his "Friends with Benefits" and some times it was a whole lot of benefits.
"Yea of course, I can't leave Spencer hanging like that; I'm always there for him that's my bro." Freddie says as he stops at a red light. A girl in the car next to him signals a "call me".
"Tasha will be there Carly and Sam, man this is going to be hot." Gibby says.
"Sam's coming?" He asks as he pulls into the parking garage.
"Yea, I checked over the guest list today when I went over Spencer's, hey remember that one girl Spencer dated with the hot sister, she's coming!" He says totally geeked.
Freddie gets out of his car, clicks it shut it beeps telling him his car is locked and he heads towards his apartment, still talking to Gibby.
"I haven't seen Sam in a while," he says his mind still stuck on her.
"I thought you guys kept in touch?"
"We did, but not in person!" Freddie says as he reaches his floor, which is the eleventh one and he sticks his key in the door and drops his briefcase, kicks off his dress shoes and starts to take off his blazer. Something falls out onto the floor as he takes it out; he picks up his suede ring case. He kept the ring since about a year ago and he proposed to Jaclyn, but she turned him down because he refused to move to Antarctica with her, she didn't understand the danger in that place.
"Still there?" Gibby asks after Freddie doesn't respond to his last statement.
"Oh sorry I got sidetracked." Freddie says as he tuck the box into his suit pocket for the wedding.
"Well anyway I said she does some T.V work, she just finished cooking school, I think she has a cooking show. I'm sure you'll find the time to ask her after you invite her to you're apartment after the wedding." Gibby says chuckling into the phone.
"I am not inviting her to my apartment!" Freddie says in his defense.
"I bet you 20 dollars you will."
"Fine deal!" Freddie says laughing and they hang up with each other after a couple more reflections on the past.
Freddie logs into Facebook and looks up Sam, her profile picture is a very professional looking picture with words on the side. "Cooking with Samantha Puckett." She does have a cooking show he thought to himself. He clicked the picture and it enlarged on the screen, Freddie looks at it not being able to peel his eyes away. Sam is gorgeous and he had to admit that himself, her natural blond locks were straightened and she wore a red fitted dress. Just by looking at her picture Freddie knew this bet was not going to be as easy as he thought.
