Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At the age of 27 Bo Dennis believes that she has life pretty much figured out. She is awesome and so is her life.
She owns a bar. Or well, her grandfather Trick owns a bar, which he has decided to let Bo run. Trick used to run the bar as his little pet project but he is getting old and felt that retirement was appropriate. Trick apparently also thought that it was about time Bo did something with her life besides party, so he decided Bo should manage the bar. At least that way Bo would have a job and a responsibility, instead of just living of her trust fund.
And if Bo has to grow up and get an actual job, managing a bar really isn't that bad. She gets to make money doing the things she loves most in life; drink, party, drink some more and meet women she can hook up with pretty much every night. On a good night she may even hook up with more than one woman.
Bo doesn't have to do much work at night. The people she has employed take care of almost everything in the bar. She just hangs out at the bar, drinks with her best friend Kenzi and looks for women to hook up with.
Yep, Bo Dennis is doing well! And walking from the bathrooms and across the dance floor over to the bar where Kenzi is waiting for her, she feels like a womanizing rock star.
You know the movie Staying Alive with John Travolta? - The one where John Travolta is walking down the street with confidence and swag while the Bee Gees' song Stain' Alive is playing. - That is how Bo Dennis feels when she walks across the floor to the bar tonight. She is oozing sex appeal and she God damn knows it!
Okay, so confidence is not something she lacks, but why would she?! She is good-looking. No scratch that! Bo Dennis is smoking hot and absolutely irresistible to women. Just ask the red-haired woman she just banged in the bar's bathroom.
"Hi Kenz, what did I miss? Ooohh nice you got us some tequila." She says as she sits down on the bar stool next to her best friend.
"Not much. And where did you go anyway? My co-worker Crystal, the one that I told you about, and her friend will be here soon."
"Oh, right. And yeah, I just had some business to take care of." She answers with a hint of a smug smile.
Before Kenzi can reply the red-haired woman from the bathroom comes up to them at the bar with a cosmo in her hand.
"So, I had fun just now... You know.. With you in there... So I thought maybe you might want to meet up some time. Maybe you would want to go out for coffee or dinner or something?" The redhead asks.
"Oh boy." Kenzi exhales while deciding to turn away form the massacre about to happen and keep her eyes on her drink until it is over.
Bo has been in situations similar to this one many times before. Women tend to become quite infatuated with her quite quickly, especially after sex, which leads to Bo having to give this speech more often than she would care to. How hard can it be for women to just have sex and move along?! It's not like she promises them fairy tales and 'happily ever afters'.
"I am sorry... I kind of forgot your name…? " Bo says looking at the redhead.
"Sandra!" the redhead replies dryly.
"Right Sandra! So what just happened between us in the bathroom… Was fun. It was. It really was. But it was just sex. You know, I don't do dating or anything resembling dating. We had sex. It was fun. End of story. But if you want, I can have the bartender bring some drinks over to you and your friends over in the corner."
The redhead looks at Bo with a look that mostly resembles resentment at first. But the next look on the redhead's face Bo definitely recognizes; anger! Before Bo can say anything else the redhead throws her cosmo right in Bo's face before marching away while muttering profanities Bo would rather not repeat.
"Here you go Bobo" Kenzi says smiling while handing Bo a napkin. "At least now I know where you disappeared to." She says while Bo is busy trying to avoid the cosmo from ruining her makeup entirely.
"Another hook-up gone bad?" Vex asks grinning as he wipes up the spilled drink from the counter.
"Oh shut up! Both of you! Okay?! She was just crazy. I do not get why women are constantly going crazy like that when I tell them I don't want to date after having sex. I mean how many drinks do I have to have thrown at me?!"
Kenzi places her hand on Bo's shoulder. "Yeah Bo, sorry to say this but her reaction was actually pretty predictable and also kinda understandable. You know, even though you do not want anything more than sex, many women don't feel the same way. So when you have sex with them they kinda think that you guys might end up all happy together and everything. That's how women work most of the time"
"Yeah, she is right you know." Vex contributes.
Bo feels misunderstood. "But hey, I never tell these women that I am offering anything more than sex. I try to charm their pants of, I compliment them, I touch them suggestively, I work with what I have got and all that stuff. But, I NEVER promise them anything or suggest that I want any type of relationships with them, only sex."
"I know, but that is just how women are most of the time Bobo. You should know that by now, you have slept with only God knows how many women. Maybe you need to cool down and perfect your game a bit, become better at letting women down easy, just to avoid all these wasted drinks." Kenzi offers.
"Hey! There is nothing wrong with my game, alright?! And I am not cooling down. I am Bo Dennis! Tthere is not a woman I cannot get to have sex with me. I just need to make sure they don't have drinks when they figure out I don't want to move in with them and get a dog and all that bullshit." Bo downs her tequila shot. "Now be a good bartender Vex, and give us a refill please".
Vex gets the bottle of tequila and gives the two ladies a refill. "How many women have you actually slept with Bo? I mean I see you with a new woman pretty much every night."
"Well Vex, first of all I do NOT sleep with women, I hook up with them, have sex with them. I prefer to sleep all by myself. And as for how many, I do not kiss and tell." She winks with a huge grin on her face.
"Oh come on! Tell a guy." As Bo makes no sign as to give in he looks at Kenzi instead. "How many has Bo hooked up with Kenzi? You are her best friend, you must know."
"Well I have known her for quite some time now and believe me when I say that I do not know the number and honestly I think that number is too large to compute in my head. Also, it kind of grosses me out to think about it."
Vex thinks for a minute. "Okay then, answer this: Have you ever have a woman turn you down then? Or, is the magic of Bo Dennis so great that you can get any woman you want? I mean, I know you are good, really good, at getting women to hook up with you but come on sometimes you must strike out. I do not believe that you are always able to win them over."
"Well, I don't think that I have ever actually been turned down before. I mean, if they don't come around within the first half hour I just see it as a challenge and before the night is over I pretty much always have them where I want them."
"Really?!" he says not quite believing her.
"Really" she says holding her hands up in a sign of resignation.
"Come to think of it, I have actually never seen her fail" Kenzi adds.
"Hmm… So, if I picked out any woman of my choice in the bar tonight you would be able to get her to have sex with you?" Vex asks looking intently at Bo.
"Is that a bet you are proposing?" Bo is actually intrigued.
"Maybe. Do you want to take me up on it and prove your seduction skills?"
"First of all, what are the stakes? - Besides me proving that I am as good as we all know that I am?"
Vex scratches his chin for a moment before proposing a deal. "Let's say that if you win, I come in to work early every day for a month and take care of all the deliveries for you, so you get to sleep in. - And I will wash your car. But if I win, if you don't seduce the woman I choose, I want 3 things. 1: I get 5 days of with pay so that I can visit a friend in a couple of months. 2: You have to withhold from all forms of sex for 1 week. 3: you have to go on 1 date with 3 different women."
"Ooooh shit just got interesting!" Kenzi says all smiles and rubbing her hands while looking alternatingly between Vex and Bo whom are both staring at each other.
"That is unfair Vex. I would never go on dates with 3 different women. Not even 1 date with 1 woman. And no freaking way I am withholding from sex for an entire week! You are mad!"
"Ahh but Bo, if you are so sure that you can get any woman in here to sleep with you, then it doesn't really matter does it? It only matters if you loose, so unless you plan to loose this bet, I don't see why you would have a problem with the deal?"
Bo knows that Vex is trying to provoke her to take the bet but she doesn't care because she knows that she will win this bet.
"Fine. You have got yourself a bet Vex! But make it 2 months of you coming in early. And rules are that you can choose any woman in here, but she has to be open to sleeping with women, no really straight girls. Also you cannot choose Kenzi, she is like a sister and does not count. And the woman you choose must be at least a 8 on the 10-scale. I do not want to have to sleep with a less than pretty woman. You have tonight to choose but I have a month to seal the deal. Deal?" She extends her hand to Vex.
Vex takes her hand. "You have yourself a bet!"
"Uh this is going to be fun! But Vex, you should get ready to come in early the next couple of months, because I haven't seen her fail yet". Kenzi says to Vex with an almost sympathetic and apologetic look on her face.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"What about her?" Kenzi offers pointing at a brunette who is an 8.
"No, I slept with her last week."
"Her then?" Vex points to a slim blonde.
"She is straight. You know her husband actually, he is the beer delivery guy, so it's probably best for us not to fuck that relationship up "
"Yeah" Vex agrees.
"What about that one over there?" Bo suggestes pointing to a woman wearing cowboy boots, a short skirt and a very little top.
Vex looks at the woman in cowboy boots. "No. Not a chance. She is too easy. You would have no trouble getting into her pants. That would be over in minutes. I want to find someone who might be an actual challenge for you. Someone who can help me win this bet and prove that you are not immortal."
As they continue to scout the bar for an appropriate target, Kenzi spots Crystal at the door.
"Oh, there is Crystal"
Bo looks to the door and sees a young blonde. Beautiful enough. A solid 8. Maybe she could get Vex to choose her. "Kenz, is Crystal single?"
"No! Nope! Bo first of all, I work with her. There will be no seducing my co-worker. Nope. Second, she is not single. She has a boyfriend. Be nice to her but do not hit on her. Alright?"
Kenzi has a determined look on her face so Bo decides it is best to listen to her on this one.
"Fine. Fine. I won't hit on her."
Vex laughs.
At that moment another blonde enters the bar right behind Crystal. Bo, who had been looking at Crystal now only sees the beautiful blonde behind her. This other blonde is a 9, a stunning 9. But there is something about her that Bo cannot quite put her finger on. - But Bo would for sure love to put her fingers on her.
"Uh Kenz, who is that with Crystal?" she asks.
"I am not sure. Crystal said she would be bringing her best friend. I think her name is Lauren."
"Lauren." Bo says smiling. "Hey Vex, how about her? How about Lauren for the bet?"
Vex looks at Lauren. "Hmm, maybe. Lets see when she gets here. But yeah, maybe."
Bo looks at the two women again. Crystal and Lauren seem to be discussing something over at the door. It looks a lot like Lauren is trying to leave and Crystal is trying to drag her in. Bo takes another shot of tequila and gestures Vex for a refill.
Crystal and Lauren finally begin to walk towards them at the bar. Crystal is walking in front and Lauren is following her with a look on her face that Bo can best identify as irritation? Resignation? Hmm, maybe this will be easy, women that are feeling down are generally easier to seduce.
"Hi Crystal, you made it!" Kenzi says and gives Crystal a hug.
"Yeah, sorry we're late. We had…Well, we… Yeah we were delayed a bit." Crystal offers apologetically to Kenzi while flickering her eyes in Lauren's direction.
"That's okay. We were just getting started. This is my best friend Bo. Bo this is Crystal" Kenzi introduces.
Bo and Crystal shake hands.
"Nice to meet you Crystal."
"Nice to meet you too Bo. Kenzi talks a lot about you. And this is my friend Lauren."
"Hi Lauren. I'm Kenzi. Nice to meet you."
"Hi" Lauren says.
"Hi Lauren. I'm Bo. Bo Dennis." Bo says smiling while extending her hand towards the beautiful woman.
"Hi" Lauren offers with almost no enthusiasm and a fake smile when taking Bo's hand. Wow she really does not want to be here Bo thinks to herself.
But as shake hands and their hands touch, Bo feels something. It feels almost like an electricity or current passing between them and through them. Bo is surprised by this and looks at Lauren, wondering if she feels it too. By the puzzled look Bo sees on her face, she does.
The two of them don't let go at first, instead they establish eye contact. Doing so Bo sees that Lauren has these beautiful brown eyes. But something in them seems lost? Sad? Closed off? Hmm. Bo definitely made a mistake. The woman in front of her is no 9, but definitely a 10. Lauren withdraws her hand and shakes her head as to shrug of something.
"I will just go use the Bathroom" Lauren says.
"Wow" Bo mutters
As Lauren leaves, Bo leans in over the counter and takes a hold of Vex by his shirt. "Say you choose her Vex? Choose her!"
"I might have, until I just saw the two of you exchange that almost magical handshake. Now there is no way I am choosing her. You have her in the home stretch already. Which is pretty impressive. But no, I won't pick her now."
Damn! Bo thinks to herself. Oh well, that does not mean she cannot hook up with Lauren and then afterwards see who Vex chooses for their bet.
Bo overhears Crystal talking to Kenzi. "Again, I am very sorry that we were late. I had a tough time convincing Lauren to come out with me tonight. She has been having a really rough time lately and I thought she could use it."
"That's fine Crystal. She will probably feel better after a couple of drinks" Kenzi replies with an encouraging smile.
Yeah, drinks might help this along Bo thinks to herself and asks Vex to serve them a dozen tequila shots. Shots are even better than drinks.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When Lauren returns from the bathroom she stands next to Bo and then looks at the tequila shots on the bar and just starts throwing them down one after another until she stops after five.
"Wow!" Bo says and she can see that Crystal, Kenzi, and Vex are all thinking the same thing.
Lauren really does seem like she could use a break or something. She might be even easier than Bo had thought.
"So, Lauren. Do you have a boyfriend? " Bo asks her while Crystal and Kenzi are talking and Vex is busy with some other customers. Bo has a good feeling that Lauren plays for her team but she wants to be sure before launching the full-on Bo Dennis attack.
"Nope" Lauren answers while keeping her eyes on the bar.
"Nope?"
"Nope. I don't do boyfriends"
"Because you are not into the whole relationship-thing or the guy-thing?" Bo asks with a mischievous smile.
"What?!" Lauren looks at Bo, but then continues. "The guy-thing. I am into women. But who doesn't do relationships?"
On the plus side she is into women. But she is the relationship type, which is okay, it is just more of a challenge for Bo.
"Okay. So do you have a girlfriend then?" Bo asks while offering Lauren another shot of tequila.
Lauren takes the shot from Bo. "No." Lauren is back to looking at the bar instead of Bo.
"Okay. Do you always use this many words to answer questions?"
"No"
Okay, Lauren is actually not making this easy.
"What do you do for a living?"
"I am a doctor." Lauren answers.
"A doctor! Wow, that is impressive."
Lauren looks at Bo, almost appalled. "Why is that impressive? Because I'm a woman? Because I'm blonde? What?"
Wow this woman is piece of work. Maybe she is PMSing.
"No! It's impressive because I know how much work, dedication, compassion, empathy and intelligence it takes to become a doctor. - That's all..."
Lauren looks at her. "Oh, okay. Sorry. I'm just having a bad day. Week. Month. Something. Sorry."
"That's okay. But Lauren, seeing as how we are both single, both stunningly beautiful, and we both don't really want to be here, what do you say we drink this shot and then maybe go back to my place? Save some time?"
"What?!" Lauren looks at Bo in disbelief. "Oh, I get it. You want to take me home to your place and have meaningless sex. Is that it?"
Bo smiles as seductively as she can while placing a hand on Laurens shoulder. "Well amazing meaningless sex, but yeah."
Bo sees that Crystal, Kenzi and Vex are suddenly all looking at the two of them.
Lauren laughs, but it is not a heartfelt laugh it's more of an ironic laugh, then she removes Bo's hand from her shoulder. "Yeah… That is not happening! Based on the looks you get from the women in here and the looks you have been giving women while we have been here, I am guessing you are used to using your good looks and charm to get women to sleep with you. And you have probably slept with a dozen women that are present in this bar right now. You probably use all sorts of different sleazy and original pick-up lines when you hit on women, and you are probably used to them working. But let me save you the trouble; I am not sleeping with you!" As she finishes she throws back another shot.
Bo cannot believe this woman sitting next to her. Calling her out like this. This woman is sassy. The two of the would have amazing sex.
"Well, first of all; thank you for noticing that I am good looking and charming. Also I don't want to sleep with you, just have sex - but that is just a technicality. But I don't think you are correct when you say you won't have sex with me. I think you are mistaken"
"I'am?!" She says still with a tone of disbelief. Bo cannot place the look in her eyes though.
"Yeah! You ARE going to have sex with me. Maybe not tonight, but you cannot resist me. Nobody is able to resist me for longer periods of time. Trust me. And the sex will be amazing! I am amazing in bed. So you might as well just accept that you and I will be having amazing sex. Accept it and go home with me tonight. - That would save us all some time." Bo smiles, feeling quite confident that her little speech won over the blonde.
"It will be a cold day in hell before I let you as much as touch me Bo Dennis! I am going home Crystal. Please stay though, I will be fine. Nice to meet you Kenzi " And with that remark she gets up, downs another 3 tequila shots and gives Crystal a goodbye kiss on the cheek before giving Bo a scolding look and then she starts to walk out of the bar.
Bo cannot believe what just happened. What did just happen?! Did Lauren just walk away from her? Well that never happened before. And what is wrong with that chick?! She was really… mental.
Vex is grinning all over his face. "Okay Bo, I have chosen. I have changed my mind, I do pick Lauren. She is the woman for our bet. Good luck. And I do look forward to my 5 days of paid vacation, seeing you celibate, and on dates."
Really!? He had to choose her after this little mental breakdown of hers.
"Oh boy! This is going to be a challenge! But then again, I do like a challenge." Bo says quietly to herself as she watches the blonde walk out of the bar. Bo cannot help but smile.
