No Good!

“And it’s off the post! No good! No good!” Came the announcers voice as several in the bar cheered and others hung their heads in defeat. No cheer was louder than Beck’s as Emily couldn’t believe her eyes as she watched the replay of the kick bouncing off the upright and then as the opposing QB came out and took a knee sealing her fate.

All she could do is blush as she listened to Beck’s taunts. “What was it you were saying earlier about hoping it wasn’t too cold outside tonight?” His grin was from ear to ear. “I would say it’s pretty nipply outside wouldn’t you?”

“Yeah yeah quit it with the bad jokes and call the Uber.” Emily said determined not to show any sign that she was dazed by the fact that in a few minutes she’d be running naked. Together they chugged their beers and proceeded to get into the back of the Uber. Beck made small talk with the driver as Emily did her best to hype herself up for what she was about to do. She couldn’t help but notice that Beck was sitting very close to her in the back seat. Ostensibly it was because he was pointing something out to the driver out of the front window, but Emily’s drunk brain seemed to think that maybe it was something more.

Beck lived in a small house that was at the front of a cul-de-sac that he shared with two other guys that Emily didn’t know. She was pleased that it appeared that the majority of the neighborhood was asleep or at least turned in for the night (it was now after midnight). Getting out of the Uber Beck waved goodbye and turned to Emily. “Alright Red how do you want to do this?”

“Well the bet was a naked lap around the house so...”

“Yeah about that...” Beck started, “ you actually can’t run all the way around my house. The fence on one side only leads into the neighbors yard so you can’t make a full circle...”

“Is that so?” Emily could see even in the low light from the street lights that Beck still had that smirk on his face.

“It is. So what I suggest is that you start from the side of the house go down the driveway and then around the cup-de-sac and back.”

“Around the Cul-de-sac?!?” Emily protested. “You’ve been planning that since the beginning haven’t you?” Beck only have a half shrug to go along with his smirk.

“Ugh alright fuck it let’s get this over with.” Emily said bolder than she felt thanks to the ****.
