The Bet 4

by Jessica G Rabbit

  "Yvaine, I'm so sorry for being such a fuck-tard." Yvaine took the large bottle of wine out of her hands and wrapped her free arm around her in a hug.

  "It's o.k., That's what friends are for. Let's crack this baby open !" She exclaimed noticing it had a cork. She carried the bottle of wine into the kitchen while the girls went into the living room. She returned shortly with three glasses and an uncorked bottle of wine. Echo assisted her with the glasses. They all sat on the floor in front of her couch. Yvaine took a sip.

  "It's delicious."

  "I'm glad you like it. Isaac picked it out." Dior said shyly.

  Yvaine looked at her then at Echo then back at Dior. She didn't know if she should even broach the subject of Dior and Isaac. So she waited for Dior to elaborate.

  "After I left here I went to Isaacs place. He told me to tell you thanks."

  Yvaine smiled. "For what ?"

  "He said for not being one of my 'yes' people." She took a sip of her wine.

  Echo listened intently every so often checking her cell phone.

  "What else did he say ?" Yvaine asked.

  "He also said you were right. I think you are right too. I have been hiding behind my career to be this sex object. So I don't get hurt, but I have been hurting the ones who care about me because I keep them at a distance. Never really giving them all of me because I'm scared they will hurt me or reject me. So they never can enjoy me, because I'm not."

  That made perfect sense to Yvaine and memories of what Jackson had said to her in bed the other night rang true. He had mentioned that she was very quiet in their relationship and she had pushed it off with a snide smart ass remark, but now sitting here with her two besty's she realized she had done the same thing to him. It was a stupid bet for Pete's sake. Jackson wouldn't be upset he would probably be relieved to know he was the only man in her bed.

  "Yvaine are you OK?" Dior said concern showing in her grey eyes.

  "Yea you look like you're going to burst into tears at any minute," Echo said as she downed he rest of her wine and poured another glass.

  Yvaine was a woman of many options, and right now she had two options; She could tell the girls that nothing was wrong and keep quietly pining over the one man she knew now she truly loved with all of her heart, or she could confide in her besty's and tell them what was really happening in her life. She decided to go for the latter.

  "I called it off with Jackson."

  Both girls mouths dropped open.

  "What ? Why ?" Echo said "I thought you really liked him and he really liked you."

  "Yea." Dior agreed. "The way he was staring at you the other day when we walked in, that guy's got it bad for you."

  Those words made Yvaine feel even worse and she began to cry.

  "Oh my gosh. Yvaine baby girl. What's wrong?" Dior said, unnerved at the sight of her friend breaking down.

  She told them about the fight between Jackson and herself and her feelings of insecurity and mistrust when it came to Jackson's ulterior motives for wanting to be in Yvaine's life. By the time she got done with the story her tears were at a minimum, an occasional one slipping down her high cheekbones.Echo had given her a box of tissues and Dior was gently rubbing her back while she rested her head on her shoulder.

  "Sounds like you love him girl," Dior said.

  "I know it." Yvaine said sniffling, "I have to tell him the truth. I have to let him know how much he means to me. I should call him."

  "No. Biiiig mistake." Echo said as she shook her head. "This is a face-to-face conversation."

  "You're right." Yvaine agreed.

  "What about the agency's party ? It's in a couple of days. You said he had invited you as his date right ? So why not show up as his date and apologize to him then and there. Dior advised.

  It wasn't a bad idea at all Yvaine thought.

  "Let's do it. Let's get your man back." Echo said smiling now.

  Dior nodded her head in agreement as well.

  Yvaine couldn't help it when both her friends smiled it instinctively made her smile. "Alright,"she said.

  The girls cheered and they once more were the funny trio of hot best buds. Echo put popped a DVD into the player and they were back to giggles and jokes.

  Yvaine would make sure this party would be the best she had ever organized, and she would make sure she would make Jackson know how much she really cared for him. She had found her 'balls' and she prayed they would stay there long enough for her to tell Jackson how she really felt.

  ***

  After perfect planning the eighth annual So Fresh Entertainment Talent Agency Promotional party was finally here. She sat in the back of the white stretch limo hoping she didn't look as nervous as she felt. Tonight she donned an emerald green peplum gown with awhite mink wrap draped over one of her bare shoulders. Her Jewelry was simple yet elegant . The diamond earrings she got from Jackson decorated her ears and an emerald necklace with a thin gold chain adorned her slender neck. She wore black Christian Louboutins on her feet. Her hair was in big layered curls. She looked perfect. She smoothed her gown. Looking down at her manicured hands. She had never been so nervous in her life. Auditioning for Ellery for the first time seemed much easier a task than claiming the love of her life tonight. Still, she had to do it. She loved him and she knew he loved her. She could finally be happy. She looked forward and spoke to the driver.

  "Alright Johnnie, I will call you when I'm ready."

  "Sure thing ma'am. I wont be too far away," he said with a smile.

  Yvaine waited as he stepped out of the car and opened the door for her. She was immediately bombarded by flashing cameras and people. She pasted on her best smile and slowly walked down the red carpet into the entrance making sure to stop for certain photographers and TV personality's to get an exclusive. This party she had planned already seemed like it was a success and she hadn't even stepped in the door. She kept smiling and waving and talking. She just wanted to find Jackson and make up as soon as possible. She finally made it into the entrance and was greeted by a sexy hostess wearing a silver mini skirt with a matching bikini top. The music hadn't started yet and she scanned the room seeing familiar faces she smiled and waved. She followed the hostess to her VIP suite when she entered the small yet quaintly decorated neo soul fashioned suite she noticed flowers and champagne.Someone was standing where the balcony was looking over into the already increasing crowd. The dimmed lighting made it hard for her to see who it was at first. It was a woman. The woman turned around and it was Ellery. Yvaine couldn't comprehend for a moment that it was in fact Ellery she just stood there stuck like she had been frozen.

  "What are you doing here ?" She asked and shook back.

  "I decided to bring Joanie with me. She needs the company and so do I." Ellery was smiling and that always warmed Yvaine's heart because she saw her in such a maternal light. "You look stunning Yvaine darling." She said admiringly.

  "Thank you." Yvaine said and walked over and hugged Ellery. "Thank you for coming. I missed you."

  Ellery hugged her back in return.

  "You're welcome." They turned toward the balcony and looked down at the crowd. "This is some party baby gurl. You did the damn thing didn't you ?"

  Yvaine smiled big and Ellery chuckled

  "Everyone is having a blast so far."

  "Thank you for trusting me all these years. I don't mean to sound rude Ells but where is Jackson?"

  "Why are you looking for Jackson ?" Ellery asked with one eyebrow lifted.

  "I need to talk to him about something."

  "Jackson said he couldn't make the party ...or take over the agency." She said the last part with a tinge of disappointment in her voice. "He is going back to New York."

  "What do you mean Ells ? Take over the agency ? Take over So Fresh Entertainment ? When was this going to happen?"

  "Calm down honey," Ellery said. She didn't understand why this news would come to a shock for Yvaine. Ellery had been in the adult industry for almost twe
lve years and she wanted to bow out gracefully and selling her company while it was at it's height would be a very lovely retirement package.Something else had to be up. "Yvaine are you in love with Jackson?"

  "Ells, c'mon."

  "Don't you Ells c'mon me," She said perfectly imitating Yvaine. "Answer the question."

  Yvaine looked down at the floor. She was worried how Ellery would take the news but she had just asked her outright about it. Answering this question could do one of two things. One; it could ruin her relationship with Ellery because she was with Jackson or Two; she could accept it and love it. Either way how Ellery felt Yvaine knew it wasn't about Ellery's feelings, but about hers. She wanted Jackson. She loved Jackson and she couldn't picture her life without his presence in it.She looked into Ellery's eyes and said it aloud for the first time.

  "Yes."

  "Yes what?" Ellery probed.

  "I love Jackson."

  Ellery hugged Yvaine once more, and it seemed like the first time since they decided to discuss Jackson she was able to breath.

  "Then you shouldn't be at this party. You should be at the airport getting your man." She looked at her phone screen."You still have time."

  Yvaine couldn't believe her ears.

  "Go. It's OK. Everything will be fine. I promise."

  Ellery kissed her on both her cheeks and put her white mink wrap back on her bare shoulder.She hadn't even realized she had lost it.

  "Go." She said once more, and Yvaine left the suite, down the stairs and to her limo.

  "Johnnie, we on a do or die mission." She said as she quickly got into the limo.

  Johnnie who was middle aged older African American man loved driving for Yvaine and her friends. So when she said this statement it didn't phase Johnnie one bit.

  "Where to miss ?"

  "The airport, like yesterday."

  Johnnie quickly maneuvered the Limo through the parking lot and traffic beautifully. It was as if lady luck herself was on Yvaine's side. She was able to convince the guard at the private plane area that she was suppose to be on the plane. Being all dolled up didn't hurt she supposed but still it was seamless. Johnnie drove her to the private plane and she got out. It was loud and windy and she wished she would have worn something a little less fashionable and something more warm. She saw him getting on the plane and called out as loud as she could.

  "Jackson ! Jackson !"

  He turned. He looked as if he couldn't believe she was standing there. He turned around and walked back down the stairs toward Yvaine. She looked like an ebony goddess to him. Her beautiful emerald green dress was a perfect contrast on her caramel skin. He felt his cock start to harden. Damn even when he thought she didn't want him. He still wanted her. He was disgusted by himself.

  "What are you doing here ?"

  "I came... to talk."

  "I don't have time for this. I have a plane to catch. We had all the time to talk when I was in your bed and you chose not to."

  She had never seen him this way. He seemed so hurt, hard,and calculated.

  "I'm sorry I kicked you out when you wanted to talk. Please, what I have to say is important."

  His eyes drifted to her bare shoulders and then to her ears. She was wearing his earrings. She was also shivering. He felt like an ass for not offering her his jacket right away. They had been out here a good seven or eight minutes and he hadn't even offered it. He immediately took off his Armani suit jacket and draped it over her slender shoulders.

  "Thank you," she said.

  He was dangerously close to her. She could kiss him right on his nice full lips.

  She looked up at him.

  "Like I said I don't have much time. Let's talk on the plane," he said.

  "Alright," she said and turned around and waved to Johnnie who then drove away.

  The wind whipped at her dress and hair. She closed her eyes to the biting wind.

  "Let's go." Jackson placed his hand on the small of her back and guided her toward the plane.

  She went up the steps and into the warm cabin. Jackson followed behind her. A female flight attendant closed the airplane door and walked up to them smiling warmly.

  "Hi I'm Carol. Your Attendant for the duration of this flight. Mr.Yorn, the captain is ready for take off."

  Please inform the captain we are on a bit of delay and to be on standby. I will let him know when I am ready. That will be all Carol. Thank you. He sounded so business to Yvaine. She didn't ever remember him like this. The flight attendant nodded and quickly went to the captains quarters. "Start explaining Yvaine," he said as he walked over to her. She was walking backwards.

  "I am sorry."

  "For ?"

  "For kicking you out of my bed."

  "We already established that outside.Is there anything else?"

  "Why are you being a bastard to me ?"

  "Yvaine.What do you want from me ?"

  "I want you to listen to me." She folded then unfolded her arms.She was so uncomfortable right now. She wanted to be anywhere but saying this. She took a deep breath and let the words come out of her lips. "It was a bet."

  "What was ? Us?"

  "No. The guys you saw me on dates with. They were a bet."

  "What do you mean ?" He asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

  "Dior and Echo bet me that I couldn't get an average guy to ask me out on a consecutive basis without knowing my real identity.I told her it would be too easy." She looked down at the carpet then looked up. "So she upped it to three dates with three different guys." She looked at Jackson they were still standing in the middle of the large cabin, but he had her cornered. She noticed the closeness and her body instinctively reacted. "I was embarrassed to tell you about the bet. I was embarrassed to tell anyone for that matter. I'm sorry. I withheld my emotions for you.That wasn't my intention. I have enjoyed every single moment we have shared."

  A single tear rain down her face and she looked down sullenly once more.

  She gushed on. "Stupid me. I devised a plan to get you back. I decided to get all dolled up and make wild passionate love to you at the party and tell you how much I love you."

  She felt his strong hand on her chin nudging her head up so he could look her in the eyes. He was like a caged tiger around her. All he needed was for her to unlock his cage.

  "Why can't you say it to me now ?"

  "Because you didn't show up and now you're upset with me. Ellery also told me you turned down buying her company from her. I hope it wasn't because of me."

  "Stop talking," he said, and she immediately fell silent. "Say it."

  "I love you Jackson Yorn." She exhaled. His eyes never wavered from hers. "I can't live without you Jackson Yorn."

  She was crying now. He let go of her chin and pulled her small frame into his. He held her there and he kissed the top of her head.

  "I love you too Yvaine. I have always loved you. From the first time I saw you spread on Ellery's couch." That admission made Yvaine blush. "I couldn't live in Los Angelos and not be by your side. When I confessed that to you that night I felt awful afterwards. I'm sorry I violated your trust. I apologize for trying to make it sound like it was in your best interest, but really it was my own jealous one.I'm sorry for being so damned pigheaded. I thought you didn't want to ever see me again because of it."

  "Baby I forgive you. I wanna see you for the rest of your life." Yvaine looked up at him with all the love she felt for him and smiled at him. He leaned down and kissed her passionately.She broke the kiss and said "Should you tell the captain to cancel the trip?"

  "Hell no. He said his voice emphatic. He picked up the phone and spoke into it. "Captain, sorry for the delay. You may proceed with takeoff." He hung up the phone, took Yvaine by the wrist.

  "What are you doing ?" She asked as he took her to the back of the cabin through the hallway and into a bedroom. It was beautiful. Much nicer than any private plane she had been on. She would have to tease Ellery about never letting her use this plane
. He swept her up in his arms.

  "I'm introducing you to the mile high club baby," He said and kissed her hot and wet. His tongue invading her mouth,awakening a desire in her that had brimming under the surface all along. She was the happiest woman alive.She was about to make love to the man of her dreams once more and forever if she so desired. That thought brought a smile to her face and she deepened the kiss. He gently touched her face and let his hands softly glide down over her neck then to her shoulders and then to her waist. He found the zipper of her formal gown and slowly unzipped it. Yvaine was wet with anticipation. His hands were strong but nimble as he set to the task of undressing her. When her dress was finally unzipped he slid it off of her body and she stepped out of it sitting on the bed to finish taking it off. She looked up and saw him towering over her. He looked so aroused and ready. The desire he had for her shone in his eyes and Yvaine felt drunk with power knowing she was the object of his desire. She started rubbing her full breasts through her white strapless bra. She saw his expression darken more with want so she continued.she took her other hand and rubbed her pussy through the thin white silk thong panties she wore. Her white thigh highs and elegant jewelry she chose to wear made her look like a pinup to Jackson. He was so turned on by her. His cock hardened more at the thought of Yvaine being completely his. Yvaine saw the bulge in his trousers increase and crawled over until her face was in front of his zipper. She took her hand and massaged his erection through the material. He groaned and pulled her to him by her wrist and crushed her with another kiss.

  "I missed you so much Shawna my love. I love you," he said their foreheads touching. "Promise to never leave me again."

  "I promise," and she knew she meant it.

  He Squeezed her bottom and then removed her panties. He pushed her back on the bed and he quickly disrobed and got into the bed with her. He was such an exquisite specimen. Yvaine still marveled at his perfectly sculpted abdomen. He was gorgeous. She crawled back over to him and he grabbed her by her waist pulled her to him and had her straddle his face. Her perfect round ass was in his face and her pussy was nestled perfectly on his lips. She saw his erection was pulsing with need so she leaned forward for better access of his juicy cock. She put the tip of his dick into her mouth and his tongue immediately began working magic swirls of delight on her clit. She was oblivious to everything except giving and reciprocating pleasure. Every time her body hummed with it she would swallow his cock until her lips touched the base. She gagged on it but she didn't care she continued gorging herself on the meat. He slapped her ass to let her know it felt good. She loved the sensation it made it more intense and she moaned and gurgled as she bobbed up and down on his massive pole. She felt her body cumming she instinctively sucked his cock harder and harder when she felt herself cumming she put his cock in the back of throat and the world and universe collided. She felt him lift her up and felt her head rested on the pillows of the bed.
