Rotting, chapter 3
We left the bar pretty late, 2 in the morning late actually, so we headed back to Mike's a little tipsy. We set up camp in Mike's room, with an extra mattress for Hooters. I noticed once again that Billie had set himself up close to Hooters.
"Something's gonna happen tonight," I whispered to Tre as we settled down to play poker.
"Yep. I can feel it already," he whispered back. The poker game started as usual. Tre was trying to cheat and I kept snatching his cards and looking at them. Half way through the second game, Mike brought out a couple of beers from downstairs
"The perfect way to beat a hangover in the morning is to keep drinking till its no longer morning."
"Here, here," Hooters cried and downed a huge mouthful of beer.
"Hey, I've got an idea," Tre cried, with a sneaky grin on his face, "lets play strip poker."
"Sure, you up to it Hoots?" asked Mike
"Dookie and I played so much strip poker with our old mates that we forgot how to play without stripping. Remember when Simmo kept losing and he was naked for the entire night?"
"He just wanted to be naked."
"Let's play," said Tre, dealing the cards
"Rules first" I said, "seeing that Hooters has just met you guys I reckon it should only get to underwear. After that chores will be given out to the person who loses by the person who won. Agreed?"
"It's okay Dooks. I wanna see what your new mates are made of compared to the home boys."
"Fine. Okay Tre. Let's get this game started."
"Just for fairness, we'll all get extra clothes so that we all have the same amount of clothes to start," said Billie. Everyone got the extra clothes from mike's wardrobe and sat down again. We all had ten pieces of clothing on. Tre even had Mike's snow jacket on.
The game was almost finished and clothes were scattered everywhere. Mike, being the weakest poker player, had the least amount of clothes on. None. He was sitting there with a pillow over his lap. Hooters was doing very well. She had only lost her shirt and jeans. Billie was sitting there in only his boxers. Tre was missing two shirts and three pairs of pants but he still had the snow jacket on.
"YES! I win! Off with the jacket Tre!" Hooters cried.
"Awww, I liked that jacket. It kept me so warm. And now I'm cold," Tre pouted.
"Ohh poor baby, come cuddle up to me and I'll keep you warm," I said drawing Tre towards me.
"Holy shit, it's five in the morning. I'm gonna get some sleep," Mike said.
"You're just upset that you're losing," said Billie punching Mike in the shoulder.
"Yeah, that too."
"I'm gonna head to sleep as well Mike, so you're not a loner," I said.
"Yeah me too," said Tre
"Nite all. And NO sex Tre and Reeza."
"Damn it," said Tre.
"Night Mikey, night Dook, Tre,"said Hooters.
-Billie's POV-
Did she just call him Mikey? Does that mean she likes him? I hope not. I'd ask her out now but she might think it's just something I do when I'm drunk. Fuck it. I'll ask her now and ask her again when I'm sober. Everyone is sleeping so it's the perfect time to ask.
"Hey Allegra."
"Yeah?"
"Uhh... ."
"Come on Billie. What is it?" She gave me a gentle shove in the arm. She's so beautiful.
"I was wondering... willyougooutwithme?"
'What? Sorry Billie. I must be drunker than I thought. I couldn't understand a thing you said after wondering."
I took a deep breath and got my head together.
"I really like you Allegra. And I was wondering if you would like to go out with me?"
"Oh, Billie... " She looked shocked.
"I'm sorry. You like Mike right? Just forget I even asked." I turned away from her, face burning.
"No, Billie." she touched my back lightly. I turned around but kept my eyes to the floor.
"Billie. I like you too." She lifted my head and kissed me softly.
-Hooters' POV-
Oh my god. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I can't believe this. Billie is so hot. I love his green eyes. Dookie's not going to believe this. I can't wait till tomorrow, or should that be this morning? Anyway, all of us old friends have got a big surprise for Dookie in the next couple of days. Flea organised it all. I can't wait till Brendo and Jem and Simmo show up later today.
