Lead the way

Hesitantly, I lead us towards the booth and as usual, could feel his eyes on my ass. I hated having to deal with this, but I brought myself into this mess and it was my responsibility to get myself out of it. This wasn't too unusual though, Nick consistently objectified me so I can't say that I was too caught off guard by this. Anyway, as we headed towards the booth, I noticed that Henry and Ryan were away. The only person there was Amy, sitting down and playing with her phone. I sighed in relief before making my way inside the booth. Going in first, Nick followed close behind me. Amy quickly looked away from her phone, just as Nick raised his hand and called to the waitress "One more round, please."

"Where's Henry and Ryan?"

"Oh, they went out for a smoke. I didn't go with them because who the hell wants to smell like cigarettes, I have no idea how you put up with that bad habit, Heather..." Amy said with a disgusted look on her face.

The waitress came and delivered us a pitcher, which Nick was eager to take. He poured us some glasses and looking at me, he grinned.

"Drink up, fat ass."

Amy quickly became more alert, saying "Woah, what do you think you're doing Nick?!"

"Okay, daddy," I said with a sigh, watching as Amy opened her mouth wide as she gasped in shock. I took my time with the drink before I placed it down.

"Relax Amy , it was a stupid bet..."

She laughed as well as Nick. My best friend shook her head before saying "Wow Heather, didn't think you'd ever agree to say that to Nick. What else did you bet?"

"Nothing and I never will again!"

I said that with a laugh while Nick sat there silently, which was completely unusual. Still, I wasn't about to complain - instead, I focused on finishing my drink. Amy sighed before she continued the conversation with:

"Awh, that's disappointing. Here I thought you got more adventurous, Heather."

I winced at the comment. I hated it when Amy told me that I was boring and always took the safe route. Sure, she was a great friend but the fact that she constantly pointed how I married the first guy I dated and how I always took the safe route...well, it _bothered _me. Maybe Nick noticed the expression on my face, or maybe this was his plan all along. Either way, he leaned in closer and said:

"Yeah, she's super boring. I wanted to continue but she chickened out."

"Oh my god Heather, finish what you started."

"What? Amy ! Butt out of this, please."

"What should you wager next? Nick, you got cash, right? You should like...wager $1000!"

Nick laughed loudly, before he suggested "Well, I'd need something good for that.". The pervert said that as he looked at me, giving me a sly wink and I quickly looked away as I blushed in embarrassment.

"In fact, I think you should bet...."
