Ficlets

A Challenge

Jay led Chloe to the back row of the movie theater after she picked something random to watch. She felt like asking about the back row but decided against it. She didn’t want to sound stupid but Jay said, “Don’t wory about it. The back row is not always for doing … it.â€?

“Okay.â€? Chloe whispered as they sat down in the dark. The movie was a chick flick, so the whole time Jay and Chloe were both watching the movie without interest.

Finally, it was time for the party. Only once did Chloe think about Alex, when they pulled into the large circular driveway but she quickly pushed those thoughts away.

Once inside, the party was clearly in full swing. Jay held Chloe up the grand stairs and they ended up in a guest room with a pool table. Chloe failed to notice where the extra door led to…

“Do you play pool?â€? Jay asked as he smiled and got out the balls and such.

“I bet I could beat you.â€? Chloe challenged.

“Okay, I’ll take you up on that bet. You win, we do what you want. I win, we do what I want.â€?
