A little wager

"How many cars do you think we'll see on the road?" Kate asked.

"Like one or two, maybe?" Lucy answered, not sure where this was going.

"So let's make a bet on it," Kate smiled.

"Do I have a choice?" Lucy asked.

"Do you wanna walk home?"

Lucy looked out the windshield as if there was any way she was going to go back out there willingly. She sighed, "Fine. What's the deal?"

Kate's smirk stretched, "I say, for every car we pass, you open one button."

"Sounds more like a dare than a bet. Do I lose if I unfasten everything? Does that mean I win if I still have some left?"

"Hmmm," Kate looked quizzical, "what about..." she trailed. The slim brunette was deep in thought until she came up with something. "I've got it! When we get to your apartment, whoever loses has to streak from the parking lot until we get in."

Lucy's heart beat hard. Streaking? She had been naked in the closed diner, but running naked outside was a whole different level. Still, the odds seemed pretty firmly in Lucy's favor. Surely there couldn't be more than a couple of cars on the road in this weather.

"Okay. It's a deal," Lucy responded.

"I knew you had it in you," Kate extended her hand. Lucy hesitantly shook the outstretched hand to seal their fates.

Kate returned her hands to the steering wheel, "I'm gonna enjoy watching your bare legs run."

"Sure, sure. I'd enjoy watching your bare breasts bouncing if they could bounce," Lucy teased.

"Geez, Lucy, low blow," Kate's smile diminished.

"Relax. You know it makes you look cuter."

Pulling the car up to the street, something brought the glint back to the brunette's eye. There was a car rolling through the water. She glared expectantly at her passenger.

Lucy couldn't argue. She undid the button of her collar, which she was lucky to have fastened earlier.

Kate looked at the directions on her phone. "Don't sweat it, Lucy. We'll be there in a flash," she prodded, giggling to herself.

To add insult to injury, Lucy saw a pair of headlights as soon as they turned out. It was another car passing by. Kate was very satisfied with herself as Lucy unfastened the top button.

She only had five buttons left and just as many miles. Lucy hoped the rest of the trip would be luckier.
