Chapter Six

Maci: Settle it in Smash

“So, we’ll play Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Best two out of three. If you win, I’ll give you my name and number. I win, and you take me to your bed—no names. Agreed?” I said, holding my hand out and waiting for him to take the bait.

“I guess we don’t get the best of both, huh?”

“Nope,” I said, popping the P to finalize my wishes. I honestly wasn’t looking for a serious relationship, but I sure as hell wanted to have some fun with Mr. Phantom tonight. “Oh, and don’t tell any of your friends we have this wager.” The last thing I needed was them thinking I was a total slut.

Reaching for my hand, he slid his palm to meet mine and squeezed, shaking up and down in a slow motion. “Agreed.”

After a quick run to the bathroom, I grabbed myself another drink, along with one for Phantom, and looked around for where he went. Poking his head out of a side room, he said, “In here.”

I couldn’t help the smile that made its way on my face. Making my way through the throng of people, I followed him into the room. My jaw once again dropped to the floor at the sight.

It was a game room.

Plush leather couches surrounded a huge television, with several game consoles set neatly on the shelves beneath it. To one side was a full wall of nothing but games, games, and more games. It was a gamer’s wet dream come true.

And the sound system… drool. I couldn’t seem to keep the saliva in my mouth at the beauty this room held.

Setting the drinks in a center console built into the sectional, I sat on the couch and sighed with the feel of the luxurious leather beneath my ass.

“You ready?” Phantom asked, handing me a classic GameCube controller.

“Oh, thank Christ you have these. I thought for sure I’d be stuck with the damn nunchucks,” I said with a laugh as I palmed the controller in my hand.

“You have such little faith in me,” he said as he pressed a few buttons and made his way to sit beside me, grabbing his drink and taking a rather healthy swig.

The intro came up and, after mashing a few buttons, we chose our characters. Liam went for Wolf, while I chose Solid Snake.

“Why do you want to be a dude?” he asked, stupid words flying from his mouth before he had a chance to think about them.

“Am I automatically required to choose a chick character because I have boobs?” I asked, worried I had pegged him wrong. Sexist comments like that really irked me.

“Nah, it’s just what most chicks go for. Stereotypes are overrated anyway,” he said as the countdown started and our characters appeared on screen.

My muscles tensed as the words “GO!” appeared on the screen, and I braced myself, unsure of just how skilled this man would be. Considering he had this whole elaborate setup, an entire room dedicated to gaming alone, told me I might’ve been in over my head.
