Paying a Debt With His Clothes
He stared blankly at the cards in front of him. There was the money needed to pay this months bills laid out on the table. It was a game of poker he'd try to bluff his way through but this time it was too far.
She sat across from him giving nothing away, for all he knew she could have had a worse hand.
Either way the odds were not in his favour and he looked at the 2 of hearts and 4 of spades in front of him. Then he hear the words that made him and she uttered the words he was hoping not to hear, "Call"............
He had no choice at this stage but do to likewise and laid his cards on the table. She looked at him with a wicked grin and put her hand down. It was a pair of Kings.
Even if he had a better hand it was unlikely he'd of beaten her, there was only one high card also on the table.....another king.
Kate: Better look next time *as she swooped up her winnings*
Harry: But............
Kate: Oh come on, you lost fair and square
Harry: I need that money for bills
Kate: Then you shouldn't have bet it
Harry: I know but I was sure I could get away with bluffing one more time
Kate: Well I guess it's just not your day
Harry: Please I need that money back
Kate: What if I did give it back to you? What's in it for me?
Harry: What do you mean?
Kate: I mean if I'm giving you what I've won, I need to get something in return
Harry: Like what?
Kate: Your clothes
Harry: So you want me to strip for you?
Kate: Yes to start with
Harry: Start with?
Kate: Consider it a deposit
Harry: What else will I have to do to pay off my debt?
Kate: Strip first, then we'll talk
Harry: I'm not sure about this
Kate: Oh come on you told me before you have a fantasy about stripping for a woman.
Harry: Yes but this is different
Kate: Okay fine, I guess you'll have to find another way to pay off your bills then
Harry: Wait, I'll do it
Kate: Okay get cracking
*Kate sits down on her couch ready for the show ahead*
Harry: Okay here goes
*He starts by taking off his t-shirt and figuring it was best to just get it over with, most everything else came off pretty quickly. His shoes and socks went off nice and quick, as well even his jeans. Then standing in just his underwear he got a bit of cold feet*
Kate: What's the matter?
Harry: Just give me a minute
Kate: Oh gwan just one more thing and you're done
Harry: Okay
*And with that he pulls his underwear swifty down his legs and left them with the rest of his clothes*
Kate: Very nice, now pass them over here
Harry: Okay
*He obliges with the command*
Harry: When can I get dressed?
Kate: I'll let you know, I'm keeping these as a trophy though
Harry: A trophy?
Kate: You best get comfortable, you aren't getting dressed till I tell you.
*With that Kate brought Harry's clothes upstairs and locked them in a small wooden box*
Harry: I assume this means I'm sleeping here tonight
Kate: You are welcome to leave if you wish but I'm not giving you anything to cover with
Harry: Where will I sleep?
Kate: I have a guest room
*Harry found it hard to sleep, although it was at that moment that he realised sleeping naked would be quite comfortable. Eventually he dozed off once he had forgotten about the night's events.*
