Chapter 75 - Against The Odds

I can't help but laugh when I see the determined look on Bai Lei's face. I keep my eyes on the cards this time as the game becomes intense. When Bai Lei wipes all us on the floor, we all look at him with shock.

The winner gets to choose who strips so Bai Lei shocks us all again when he points at Nick. Was this guy really the same guy from another world!? Why was he suddenly so good at strip poker! Bai Lei's dark grin grows as we all take another shot.

That grin... it should be illegal!! I feel the alcohol burn all the way down as we start another round. "The loser has to do whatever the winner says!" Ted says with an evil laugh. I frown at him and become serious. 

I want to put Ted back into the pink bunny outfit... he hates that thing! Round after round, Bai Lei continues to win! But what shocks me the most? He hasn't asked me to strip once!! My head spins as I laugh at Chase covering his man parts with embarrassment.

"I'm out... maaaan..." Chase says as he starts getting dressed. He then starts refilling our classes as we start playing again. After a few more rounds, Nick is throwing his cards across the table with a frown. "Dang it! I'm out..." He stands up and strips off his underwear before doing a weird little dance. 

Ted and Chase yell out as I cover my eyes with laughter. "No one wants to see that!! Put that thing away!!" Ted says covering his eyes. Chase overs his eyes and says "Ahhhh my eyes... I'm blind!" Bai Lei watches everything with a large smile but chooses not to say anything as Nick says "Oh come on... you all love this! Admit it! I'm hot stuff!!"

Chase throws a bag of chips at Nick but he easily catches it in laughter. Nick tosses the chips and begins getting dressed as the next round starts. We all knock back another shot as I suddenly realize that I'm starting to see double of everything. It's a good thing I'm sitting down... I don't know if I'd be able to walk!

I look over to Bai Lei with concern but he looks completely fine! Was this guy even human!? I look back down to my cards and close one of my eyes so that I can see straight. After a few more rounds, Ted strips down as Nick passes out on the table. 

"I never expected you to be so good at this... I guess I underestimated you!" Ted says with a smirk as he quickly gets dressed. "Hey, come help me get this idiot! It's late, we should head out. You two finish the last round by yourselves." Ted says grabbing Nick and pulling him up.

"What? I want to see who wins!" Chase says with a frown but Ted cuts him a look and says "I need help with Nick. He's too freaking heavy!" Chase makes a "tsk" Sound but he quickly helps grab Nick as Ted says "You have to tell me who the winner is!" I nod my head and wave at them as they all stumble out the door.

I look back over to Bai Lei to find him watching me with calm, clear eyes. I squint my eyes at him and say "How do you not look drunk? Does this alcohol even work on you?" Bai Lei gives me a sly smile as he says "I can feel the alcohol but I'm not drunk." 

He's a monster... I blink several times and try to fix my double vision as I shuffle the cards. I need to kick his ass... I want to win against him with at least one thing! I deal out the cards as Bai Lei refills are glasses with a dark knowing smirk. 

I cringe at the glass but I quickly knock it back and say "Let's finish this!" Bai Lei continues watching me with a dark smirk as he says "You can forfeit if you want..." I frown at him and close an eye to see him clearly as I say "I'm not one to give up!"

Bai Lei chuckles and says "Okay..." After a few rounds, I toss my cards onto the table in defeat. I look up to find Bai Lei watching me with that same dark smirk. I want to smack it off his handsome face! I slowly stand up and balance myself against the table before standing up straight.

I look up to Bai Lei and give him a smirk before shimming out of my shorts. I still had my underwear on! Haha!! I toss my shorts at him but he barely moves. He looks like he might even be holding his breath... I lean over the table with a stupid smile and wave my hand back and forth in front of his face.

He suddenly reaches out and grabs my wrist, nearly causing me to fall over onto the table. His dark eyes look straight at me as he says "Would you like to admit defeat?" His voice is low and controlled but it has my heart beating faster. 

"What would I have to do if I forfeit?" I say with a slur as I lean in closer to see him better. His dark eyes seem to become darker as they quickly shift to my lips before looking back to my eyes. "A kiss..." He says in a low whisper.

I arched a dark eyebrow at him before giving him a dark smirk. I crawl up on the table to get closer but the action causes Bai Lei to tighten his fist. I push the glasses and the cards over as I lean in closer. I lean in but stop a few inches away from his lips causing him to swallow hard.

I give him another smirk before I lean in to kiss him. As our lips connect, I can help but lean into him a bit more. He really is the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on... to say that I've never thought about kissing him before would be a lie.
