It all started with a basic Facebook comment. One of my wife's former coworkers is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. We had met a few times, and I was friends with her and her husband on Facebook. I'm a San Francisco 49ers fan. Our teams met last year in the playoffs, with the Eagles winning. In her celebratory post, I congratulated her on the victory.
During the regular season, both teams were set to face each other during week thirteen, a game both fan bases were looking forward to.
Ashley, my wife's former coworker, made a post during the week about the Eagles last game, and I commented on it to say, "Go 49ers!"
She liked the comment, and I wasn't expecting anything else until I received a message from her a few minutes later saying, "Want to make a bet on the game this weekend?"
I responded back, "I'm short on funds right now, or I would!"
"It doesn't have to be money," Ashley responded back. I asked what she had in mind, and she said, "Let me think about it. I'll get back to you later."
I had forgotten about it by the next day, figuring Ashley had too. But she surprised me when she sent me a message saying, "Still want to bet? I have two ideas for what we could do." I sent back a message asking what her ideas were, and she said, "If the Eagles win, you have to change your profile picture to an Eagles logo and admit that we're the better team, and I'll do the same if the 49ers win."
I told her, "That's easy enough. We can do that."
"Do you want to hear my other idea?" She asked me, and I said sure. It took a few minutes before she responded and said, "Well, if the Eagles win, you put on an Eagles shirt of mine and have to wear it out in public."
I told her, "And I'm guessing the same if the 49ers win? I don't have any 49ers shirts, surprisingly."
"The shirt I had in mind was a crop top. But, I guess if you don't have a shirt, we can't do that," she sent back.
I messaged her to say, "Maybe we can think of something else? I kind of like the idea of having more at stake than just a picture online." She asked if I had any ideas, and I asked, "What would your limits be?"
"I'll do anything but go nude in public," she told me, with a laughing emoji.
"Anything?" I said. She confirmed anything. My mind was in the gutter now, and I thought of lots of ideas. I sent her some of them back after a few minutes in a message saying, "Well, if anything is an option, I got a few ideas. You could wear a hat in public. You said no nudity in public; how about a nude picture just for me? Or could I go buy a shirt? Ignore the nude picture; that's too far for me to ask. How about a 49ers sticker for your car? I like that idea."
Ashley sent back three messages in quick succession, including the first two emojis. The first was a laughing face, and the second was an embarrassed face and a flirty face. The third message read, "You want a nude picture of me? What would your wife think?"
I laughed and said, "If she found out, she would kill me. But I was just joking based on your comment. I'm thinking I'll just go buy a shirt."
"Nah, you said you're short on funds. I'll do the nude picture. We don't have to worry about your wife finding out; the Eagles will win. I have that much faith in them," she messaged back.
I told her she had a deal.
That Sunday, the game was back and forth all afternoon. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. The 49ers took the lead early before the Eagles stormed back. Down nine with five minutes left, the 49ers marched down the field, with Brock Purdy finding George Kittle in the back of the end zone for a touchdown. Our defense managed to get the Eagles off the field, but not before they ate up a lot of the clock.
With under two minutes left, the 49ers started their drive on the fifteen-yard line with no timeouts. A quick pass to Deebo Samuel, who went out afterward. Kittle dropped a pass next. McCaffrey caught the ball in the open field, getting across the fifty-yard line, and we ran up to spike the ball. A few passes, and we were within field goal range. McCaffrey ran the ball to get it where our kicker, Jake Moody, wanted it, Prudy spiked it, and our field goal unit ran onto the field with three seconds left.
I was standing up as the ball was hiked, our punter held it perfectly, and Moody kicked it through the uprights for the win! I was jumping in my living room, trying to stay quiet as everybody else was asleep in my house!
Sitting down as I watched the team celebrate, my phone went off with a message from Ashley. It read, "What a game! Holy shit! Let me know when I can send that picture!"
I quickly messaged her back to say, "My heart is still pounding! Honestly, don't worry about it! I don't want your husband to find out and get you in trouble. Maybe we'll just revisit it if we meet in the playoffs again."
"No way! A deal is a deal! Just tell me when!" She sent it back.
I shook my head while reading it and said, "Now? My wife is asleep, and I can hurry and delete it after I see it."
I thought about sending another message to make a joke about the Eagles losing when I received the picture. Ashley had blonde hair that ended a few inches below her shoulders. She had on a green Eagles jersey that she had pulled up, along with her white bra, and was flashing her C-cup-sized breasts into her bathroom mirror, where she took the selfie. She was a skinny girl with a flat stomach. She stuck out her tongue through her red lips, and I'm pretty sure she was trying to flip me off as she took the picture.
Before I could say anything to the picture, Ashley said, "Sorry, it's not a full nude. I can take one of those later, or tomorrow."
I told her, "That's OK; you don't have to. I'm really glad I won that bet!"
She laughed and asked, "Are you going to put it to good use before you delete it?" I asked like what, and she said, "Oh, come on. Are you going to jack off to it?"
