A/N: Wow. I can't believe I actually updated this. It's been like, 5 million years, but here we have an update. I could just never be bothered to figure out where to go with this one, until now. Though, I gotta say - out of all my stories I'm thinking I like this one the most. I don't know. Randy's easy to write as a Jerk, I love it. Even though I have no doubts in real life he is an absolute sweetheart, in this land, his an arrogant jerk. Sorry! So let me know what you think of this one. It's probably all forgotten about seen that it's been so long since I updated. But never the less - if you read it - I'd love to know what you think! (:


"So…"

"So what?" Nicole asked.

"You and that guy at the club last night.... seemed pretty close." Lori hindered.

"Yeah, You were totally all over him when we were leaving." Brittany said.

"You're kidding, right?" Nicole looked at her friends in disbelief. "I wasn't all over that jerk. He kissed me!"

"Why the hell are you complaining? He was hot." Brittany asked.

"Hot? He was GORGEOUS." Lori corrected. "Nicole, you got to admit that boy was definitely a 10. He-"

"-Just walked in the coffee shop." Brittany interrupted.

"WHAT?!" Nicole shouted, as all three girls sitting at the table spun around to look at the door.


"So what was with that crazy redhead this morning?" Dave asked as they entered the coffee shop.

"Some random chick from the club last night. I don't know man; it's getting really annoying. They get so clingy and desperate when I kick them out in the morning. Do they seriously think I'd want to start a relationship with them or some shit?" Randy laughed at the thought.

"I thought you would have taken that brunette home. She was way hotter."

"She was." Randy said thinking back to the girl last night. Nicole - The girl he actually remembered the name of, which was a first for him. "And speaking of…" Randy grinned holding his hand out, "Pay up."

"Yeah, whatever." Dave sighed, grabbing his wallet from his back pocket pulling money out and giving it to Randy, who smiled contently putting it away in his pocket. "Just admit you couldn't take it any further with her. She didn't want you."

"Dave, look at me. I'm perfect. All girls want me."

"Alright Mr. Arrogant. You're so confident, why not extend the bet?"

"What are you talking about?" Randy asked, confused.

"One thousand bucks says you couldn't make her fall in love with you by the end of next month."

"What? Dave, that's dumb. Besides, it's not like I'll ever see her again" Randy shrugged the idea off.

"Funny how fate works, huh?" Dave smirked gesturing over to a table. Randy turned around curiously, to see the girl from last night sitting at a table with her two friends.

He turned back around to Dave, "Coincidence, Dave. There's no such thing as fate." He said, as he stepped up to the front counter and ordered two coffees for him and Dave.

"Alright man, if you can't do it, it's cool." Dave shrugged.

"Can't do it?" Randy asked bewildered. "Now hold on a sec there, Dave. It's not that I can't do it. Because I could. I could make any girl fall in love with me."

"Then what's your problem?"

"I just don't want to." Randy answered simply, as he picked up Dave's coffee, handed it to him, then picked up his own, thanking the waitress.

"You want to know what I think?" Dave asked smugly.

"Not really."

Dave ignored him and kept talking anyway, "I think that you might actually like that girl, and I think that you're afraid."

"Afraid?" Randy snorted. "Of what?"

"Afraid that you might be the one who falls in love."

Randy scrunched his eyebrows in amusement. "Yeah. Right. Me. In love with some girl." He laughed defensively. "It doesn't matter how hot that girl is. I don't do love."

"Then why are you so chicken?"

"You know what big guy? You're on. I'll show you how wrong you are, and I'll make that girl fall in love with me."


"Nicole, can you please go get me some sugar." Brittany asked her friend sweetly, in attempt to get her near Randy. However Nicole wasn't an idiot.

"Go get your own sugar." Nicole said, burying her head in a magazine, hoping Randy wouldn't see her.

"You're closer." Brittany whined.

"You're the one who wants it."

"She's too scared to go near loverboy." Lori said tauntingly.

"I know what you're trying to do." Nicole chuckled at her friends attempt to be oblivious.

"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about." Brittany said monotony.

"Of course not." Nicole laughed. "You're trying to rile me up by saying I'm too coward to go up to Randy cause you think I'll get angry and it'll want to make me prove to you that I'm not scared of Randy by going up to him." Nicole explained. "Bottom line - It's not going to work."

"Well it doesn't matter." Lori sighed. "Because he's coming over here anyway."

"You're kidding." Nicole groaned, looking up from her magazine to see Randy walking towards their table, his friend following behind. "That's just great."

"Fancy seeing you here, Nicole…" Randy grinned, pulling a chair over from another table and sitting down beside her, "It's good to see you again."

"Oh, I bet it is." Nicole said sarcastically.

"Are you going to introduce me to your friends here?"

"I don't see the point. You're leaving now." Nicole retorted.

"I'm Randy." Randy ignored Nicole's attempt to get him away, and smiled at her friends.

"Lori." Lori smiled nicely.

"And I'm Brittany." Brittany said, looking straight at Dave.

"This is my best mate, Dave." Randy introduced his friend.

"Ladies." Dave nodded.

"Lovely. So uh, now that we're all acquainted…" Randy turned to Nicole, "can we talk?"

"No." Nicole said quickly, pushing her chair out and standing up, "I have to get to work."

"Perfect. I'll take you" Randy said, standing up as well.

"It's only a block down the road. I'm perfectly capable."

"Really, I insist." Randy smirked, as Nicole groaned inwardly. He wasn't going to give in.

"I'll see you guys later." She said to her friends. "It was nice to meet you, Dave." She said, as she reached out and shook his hand.

"You too." Dave smiled.

Nicole grabbed her bag, and headed towards to door, Randy hot on her heels like a lost puppy.

"You know, in most countries this is considered stalking." Nicole said as she exited the coffee shop and stepped out on the pavement.

"How? I'm merely a gentleman offering to walk you to work."

"Gentlemen?" Nicole chuckled. "Right. One – I don't know you. Two – I don't like you." She counted off on her fingers.

"Exactly. You don't know me." Randy said. "You would like me if you got to know me."

"I don't want to know you."

"Why not?"

"Because I dated a guy like you."

"Incredibly good-looking? Great Body? Fit athlete? Funny? Charming?"

"No. Arrogant, smart-ass, self absorbed jerk." She said sternly. "I don't even know why you're bothering. Shouldn't you move on to the next girl by now?"

"I'm not like that." Randy lied, offended.

He knew it was the truth. He knew he was like that. So why had it offended him? There was a sick feeling in his stomach. Nicole was blunt. And said maybe what he needed to hear. Quite frankly, it made him feel cheep. He felt like a douche bag. A total asshole.

"Look, I've got to go to work." Nicole pointed towards the building they were stopped outside of.

"What do you do?" Randy asked curiously.

"I'm an editor/writer for 'forever new' magazine." She answered, "But I've really got to get going, my boss will kill me if I'm late." Nicole said, as she turned around and went to go into the building.

"Wait!" Randy called out, as she turned back around to face him. "What time do you finish?"

"Why?"

"I want to take you out to dinner tonight." He stated simply.

"What?" She asked like he was insane. How many times did she have to reject him before he got that hint?

"Please. Let me take you out to dinner tonight. And then, if you don't want to see me again after that, I'll leave you alone."

"You promise?"

"Yeah." He said confidently. She would want to see him again.

She sighed, she couldn't believe she was giving in. But then again, if it got him to leave her alone... "I finish at six."

"Alright. I'll see you then." Randy smiled.

"Guess so." She said, before turning around and disappearing off into the building.

Randy grinned and sighed contently. This bet was going to be a piece of cake.
