It was September, which means Football Sunday. Ever since I was ten years old and started watching football with my dad, there had been Football Sunday. That meant sitting in front of the television watching your favorite team. Chips, drinks and whatever else you wanted. In college and now in real life, I've had friends over to watch my beloved Cincinnati Bengals crash and burn on another Sunday. This year, it was different, though. My Bungles had shown some flashes of greatness this season, so I was feeling a little more confident then the guys came over.
High fives were exchanged as Kyle, Josh and Luke came over and made themselves at home. I grabbed drinks out of the kitchen and had Becca bring some of the food. Ashley wasn't at home because she hates football. I forgive her that one cardinal sin just because she's so damn hot.
The guys settled in and we rearranged the furniture so everyone got a good view of the television. We pulled the coffee table closer for easy access to drinks and food. I grabbed the remote and hit the power button a few minutes before the game started, catching some of the pre game analysis. We talked about work and this and that. Just before the coin toss, we had to make our game day wager. It was always something like the loser washed the winners' cars or some such. During last years Super Bowl, Josh had made what the rest of us thought was a stupid bet and ended up having to walk around the neighborhood, in January, in only a thong singing "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls. Now THAT was quite amusing. Especially since the rest of us followed him in a car honking the horn.
Well, we started with the usual stuff, like lunch for the winner(s), washing vehicles, cooking dinner (for those of us who could cook). During the banter that always went on, I noticed that Kyle hadn't said much. "K, you all right, man?" He nodded and I followed his gaze, where I saw Becca in the other room tidying up. "What? You want to hook up with her or something?" He almost blushed and looked at me. I saw something flash in his eyes. I had no idea what it was, but I was sure I'd find out shortly.
Kyle took a minute to collect his thoughts. He huddled with Josh and Luke, presenting a plan of some kind. They agreed and Kyle elected himself spokesman. We went out to the kitchen and he presented his option to me. "Okay, dude, here's the deal we want. You're rooting for the Bengals and we're cheering for the Browns. Browns lose, we go in together and get you that big screen plasma TV you want."
'Wow,' I thought. 'They have something big in mind.' I looked at him suspiciously. "Okay, I'll consider that. What if the Bengals lose?" Kyle licked his lips and looked at me nervously.
"If the Bengals lose and it's cool with you, me and the guys want to...you know...take turns with Becca out there." I tilted my head, having been completely taken by surprise with that one. One thing I have NEVER done and never would do would be to try to make Ashley or Becca do anything without their consent. Granted, early in our relationship, Ashley and I learned that Becca was slightly submissive, but there was a limit to the things she would do.
"I'll have to talk to her about it. You know I won't agree to that without discussing it with her first." Kyle nodded and then went back to the living room as I went to the dining room to talk to Becca. "Hey, Becks. Can I talk to you for a minute?"
Becca turned around and nodded, wondering what was going on. I guessed that she knew we had been talking about her, but I don't think she knew what we were talking about. "Okay, Becks, here's the deal. Feel free to say no, because I wouldn't promise you to be involved. You know how the guys and I make a bet on the game every Sunday? Well, what they want as their part of the bet is if they win, they get...you. Not permanent like, but you know, for the afternoon. What do you think?"
She opened her mouth to say something and then shut it again. I could see the wheels turning in her head. I knew she had had multiple partners in the past, even before Ashley and me, but I didn't know if she'd want to take on three guys at the same time with me watching, no less. She peeked around me into the other room, where the guys were watching the game, though I knew Kyle, if not the other two, were at least paying some attention to us. She chewed on her bottom lip, something that made me want to take her right there, even with the guys in the other room.
