"The bet is off."
He scoffed. "Why? Are you falling for the bet?"
I ignored him.
"A hundred bucks, yeah? I'll send it to you now."
There was silence, and I closed my eyes
"My man. Forget the money; what's going on?"
"I'll send it. But it's over. Leave her alone."
I hung up before he could respond, wiring the money to him. I didn't want anyone remotely near Annabelle. I'd pay anything.
Fuck it.
I was falling for her.

This was written from Bailey's POV, the party at the beach chapter.....enjoy ;)
A party at the beach. Why not? Maybe it would take my mind off Annabelle. It was fucking roasting, and the sweat dripped down my back as I played volleyball on the beach, jogging to the water to retrieve the ball after one hit went in the wrong direction.
"You're shit at this," Grant called as he grinned at me.
"I'm a fucking soccer player."
"You're a player, alright." He deadpanned, and I rolled my eyes as he nodded to a group of girls admiring me from the beach bar. Why didn't I give a shit? Usually, I'd be all over that.
"I need a drink." I made my way towards the bar, aiming to go to the other end than the girls were. So many people were there, all sticky hot bodies drinking and dancing as I pushed through. Suddenly I felt someone walk into me, my arms instinctively going out to steady them. My heart skipped a beat when those cool gray eyes met mine.
"I'm sorry," Annabelle mumbled, pushing her hair out of her eyes. The crowd pushed us together, and I caught her gazing at my lips.
"Don't be," I murmured as she flushed, making me feel giddy.
What the fuck?
I glanced around us as I spoke.
"I don't think I've ever seen you at a party, Anna."
Or in a swimsuit.Breathe,Fenton.
"You look good." I noticed guys eye fucking her, and I clenched my jaw, a rage bubbling in my stomach. "Judging from the looks you're getting here, you may not need my services anymore."
Not that she ever did. She just needed to be told she was fucking beautiful every day.
"Oh God, what are you doing? Bailey, go and prey on some unsuspecting girl. This one is off-limits." I heard Ray say as she grabbed her hand, pulling her toward the party. "You are playing; end of discussion."
Playing? My eyes searched hers as a look of horror filled her face. Surely she wasn't going to play truth or dare? This couldn't be good. The crowd swallowed her as I heard Aurora declaring her dare.
Why dare, Anna?! Always go truth, and lie if you have to. Fucks sake. I pushed forward until she came back into my view. She had paled, and her eyes were searching the crowd with panic.
"Make out with a stranger."
