"Are you seriously betting me, that I wouldn't?" I asked my husband.
"There is no way you would, no way!" He said smugly.
"So lets get this straight, if I do..." I began.
"If, and it's a fucking big if, but if, and not just once..."
"OK, so if, then you'll pay up, and not try and wriggle out of it, but you'll buy me a complete new wardrobe, my choice, and I'm not talking High Street, and take me for a fortnight in Sardinia?" I asked.
"You're never going to do this, I don't even know why we're talking about it?" He said.
"We are talking about it, because you my darling said I wouldn't, in fact you said, not only that I wouldn't, but that I wasn't up to it!"
"And lets not forget, that if we make this bet, and I know you won't, but having made the bet, if you back out, then I get a blow job everyday for the next month.!"
"I'll tell you what, if we make the bet, and I back out, I'll not only blow you everyday, but in a location of your choice, and I'll swallow, and I'll throw in a threesome with Debs, how's that?"
"Then it's a shame you won't, another drink?" He asked.
"Make mine a double."
I watched him walk to the bar, she was back, the woman that had started this conversation in the first place. She wore a little black dress, with the emphasis on little, and I wondered if she was what we both imagined she was, though did that actually matter. She was now smiling at my husband, her foot touching his leg. Was she propositioning him, it looked like it. I wondered if she was, and if I wasn't here, whether he would even now be on his way to a room somewhere in the hotel with her.
"There you go, double G&T," he said as he put the glasses on the table.
"What did she want?" I asked.
"My hot body of course," he said, laughing.
"So, hypothetically, what's she charging?" I asked.
"How do you know I even asked?"
"Because I know you!" I said.
"Three fifty, for an hour of anything," he said.
"Anything?"
"Anything!"
I watched her, as she got up, and disappeared into the ladies.
"Hi, I'm Leigh," I said.
She looked up from washing her hands. "Look, I didn't know he was with someone," she said.
"I think you did, not that it matters." I said.
"It doesn't?"
"No, you see my husband has bet me that I would do what we assumed you do."
"Really?... No you are joking, right?"
"No, so if I were to take him up on this bet, how do I go about it?" I asked.
"You're serious, aren't you?"
"Lets just say, I'm exploring my options!"
"Not that difficult, you need to..."
I sat back down, and took a gulp of my drink. Put it back on the table, and sat back into the seat beside my ever loving husband. The loving husband that had just bet me that I wouldn't prostitute myself. I sat there thinking.
"Well?" He asked.
"Not now!" I snapped.
I watched my new found friend, as she took another man out of the bar, up to a room.
"Alright!" I said.
