Chapter 6

“Dude you’ve got to tell us how you scored that deal, it was so obvious that the senator was going for GOC. What made her go with us?” Ray asked for the nth time as I gulped down my beer.

Yep, you guessed it right, we’re at the bar, unlike the clubs in Bene, this place is just like my second home. You’d practically find me here any time I’m not working, it’s a good place to score a chick too. I come here to hang out with my friends and have a good time, it’s like our celebration corner and I know the guy who runs this place pretty much.

“Its simple, I saw you guys failing and I stepped in to help. This means a big pay check is coming in soon” I smiled 

“Cheeky. Well, you’re the man, if you can’t get through to the mother then get through to the daughter. It’s that easy Ray” Jerry sipped his drink as his eyes roamed the bar

“Aey! Look who’s learning from the boss, what have you been teaching this boy Theo? I hope you haven’t corrupted his eyes” Ray said and I knew he’d get Jerry mad. I would normally ignore this but it’ll just drag on and it might cost them their friendship for some days, so before Jerry geared up with his words, I spoke

“Ray, just because he doesn’t change women every week like a walk in a park just like you, wait…no. What am I even saying? I’m giving you too much credit, you can’t score women like that. Okay, I’ve got it now. Just because he doesn’t change women like you change your underwear because I know you change them once a week, doesn’t mean he can’t score chicks”

Jerry erupts with laughter and now Ray is the one who is annoyed. It’s so funny how they switched moods in 0.25 seconds.

“No dude, what are you trying to say? That I can only get one girl in a week?” I could see his veins threatening to pop out of his skin, and Jerry’s laughter is just making things worse

Jerry wipes his tears of laughter and answers “I think what he’s saying is that, you need to attend the Theo lectures on how to get a girl. He will be your sensei and I will be your buddy, let’s train together” he said sarcastically and kept on laughing again with his body falling on mine.

“Dude I bet you I can score any dinner right here right now in this bar” Ray said as he banged his fists on the table, oh he isn’t backing down…

“Oh really? You sure you don’t need practice before you go out to the field again?” I smirked

“You know what? I challenge you. Let’s pick a girl right here in our bar, first one that sleeps with her wins, deal?” Ray smiled rather awkwardly. Oh my God! I think he’s trying to smirk, well he’s just downright awful at it

“Deal” I reached out and we sealed the deal with a handshake

“Wait, you guys aren’t really doing this right? I really like this bar and we’ve been coming here since we reached the age to drink publicly. Don’t get me kicked out, if you do I swear Theo I will leave your life and never look back” Jerry threatened 

“Would you relax, I won’t do anything silly. Besides, it’s not like she’ll come after me when I win, she’ll be counted amongst my many others. I could even say my twin brother was the one who slept with her, they always believe me” 

“Okay.” Jerry mentally relaxed. It’s been a while I got back in the field myself, let me see if I can actually win this challenge. Well, not bragging but, I’m going to win.

“Okay, well I don’t want to play a run, catch and kill game so why don't we make this a little bit interesting? I’m saying we bet on who’s going to win. It’s as easy as that, look, I’ve got 50 nen to spare tonight, are you in?” I raised my brows at the other two 

“Well I’m only betting because I know who’s going to win. No offense Ray, he’s just too good” Jerry sighed as he placed a hundred nen bill on the table 

“Then it’s 200 nen from me then. I admit, bringing money into this just made it a lot more… Exciting” Ray smiled deviously. Well keep smiling for now, until I take all your money.

"Jerry be a kind gentleman and hold the cash for us, whoever gets the girl, gets the cash” I smiled as I slid the money to Jerry, who in turn placed it in his pockets

“You Haven’t won yet Mr. Now let’s scout for some fresh cookies” Ray thoroughly licked his lips before turning to look around the bar. 

We sighed and followed suit. Now I need someone who isn’t that serious with her career like you know who but I don’t need some lousy chick either. Now… where could our Target be…

“What about her? You guys should definitely hit on her. No ring on her finger, she’s kinda hot and she’s a new face in this bar, perfect candidate if you ask me” Jerry signaled us to a woman sitting in front of the bar tender at the counter 

“Okay,” Ray clapped his hands “we go out on the count of three. One_” 

Before he could realize, Theodore had already jumped out of their booth and was in front of the lady

“You cheat!” Ray hissed but they both sat and watched the mighty sensei in action once again. Jerry had seen it many times but every time he just had to pause and watch everything unfold before his eyes, it was like watching a magic trick he recalled. He described the feeling the first time he saw Theo in action, it was like he was born with this seduction powers, like he’d never trained before, it was like_

“Ppaaaa!!!” 

“What the hell!” Jerry shouted as for the first time in very long time did he see Theo being rejected and with a hot slap to drive him away.

They were stunned in awe as Theo stumbled back while rubbing his cheeks which had gone cherry red. 

“You failed??” Jerry asked but he still couldn’t believe it, even though his eyes saw everything.

Ray burst out in laughter “You over confident jerk, Serves you right! You’ve grown old Theo, probably too soon. I’m so going to win this and take all your money” Ray laughed some more.

I was still re arranging my jaw when I felt Jerry’s stare in me

“I can’t believe you lost” Jerry said 

“Well, technically, I didn’t. You see, I’ve slept with her before, I just didn’t remember her face that’s why she got upset and slapped me” I shrugged 

”So the deal is off then, I’ve already slept with her, pick another girl” 

“No, I don’t care if you’ve slept with her or not, that just gives me a higher advantage over you. The deal says, you have to sleep with her, not if you’ve slept with her. It’s all on you broh, I better take my leave and not keep her waiting” Ray walked out on us and went straight for Lucy.

Yeah, her name’s Lucy.

“Can you believe that jerk? Why can’t he just pick another woman!” I sighed in frustration. 

“You’ve got to see this through man, it’ll just be another feast for you again. It will be hard but I’m sure you can do it, you would really impress people if you scored the same chick twice and she’s not your girlfriend” 

“You make a good point, but let’s see how Ray does okay?”

We watched as Ray walked her out of the bar and they ha a little chit chat before she got into a taxi and left. He rushed back in and couldn’t wait to showcase his trophy to us.

“What the hell am I looking at Ray?” I hissed 

“Its her number Playboy, she wants to meet up for lunch tomorrow! I’ll make her my girlfriend and then, when we get serious, I can finally win this damn bet! In your face Theo, there is nothing you can do to make that girl fall for you ever again!” He said as he laughed sarcastically

Oh really?
