A/N: I had no plans to write smut, it just happened again. I'm not sure what to do after this chapter as it can kind of flows onto my story, "The Bull, The Buckle and a Brit in a Tree." I'll see if my muse strikes again. Thank you to everyone who reviewed, I really appreciated it. I hope you all enjoy the next chapter even though it is lacking in the humor of the previous chapters.
After Pete had finished his second helping of ice-cream he made his way upstairs. He knocked on Claudia's door and waited for her to reply before he entered.
"Are you okay Claud? You seemed a little off at dinner."
"Shut the door and take a seat."
"What's going on?" He asked concerned.
"Myka is seeing someone!" She blurted out.
"Yeah right." He laughed.
"I'm serious."
"What makes you think she would even be seeing someone?"
"She sent me a text saying she missed my smile that was clearly meant for someone else."
"That doesn't prove anything. You do have a nice smile." He teased.
"Thanks. She went on to text some really sexual things." She blushed.
"Prove it." He asked as he stood. He was intrigued to see if there really was a fun side to Myka.
"I can't, H.G. deleted it after Myka sent her a picture of herself."
"Nah! Not Myka. I'd expect that from H.G. but never Mykes." He said in disbelief. "I bet the text was meant for H.G."
"I thought that too but Steve swears she was telling the truth when we asked if she was with Myka."
"This isn't making any sense. My vibes go insane whenever the two of them are in the same room. There is definitely something between them."
"Yeah and it's called friendship unfortunately."
"If it isn't H.G then who is Myka supposedly seeing?" He said using air-quotes for emphasis.
"She is seeing someone. I just don't know who it is." She sighed.
"How would she even find time to see anyone?"
"Apparently she doesn't spend as much time reading as we thought. We leave her in the library for hours but she could really be meting up with someone."
"That sounds plausible. But Myka would have told me if she was seeing someone." He was convinced he was right.
"Ask her then."
"Alright." He said as he strode from the room.
He knocked on Myka's door.
"Hey Pete. What's up?" She asked as she opened the door.
"I just wanted to ask you a question."
"Sure." She smiled at him.
"We're friends right? We tell each other things?"
"Where's this going Pete?" They both turned and noticed as Helena entered the hallway from the stairway.
"H.G!" He said excited.
"Pete?" She asked tentatively.
"Are you seeing anyone H.G?"
"Are you asking her out?" Myka asked. She felt her stomach drop at the thought.
"No! Just curious to know if my friends are happy in their love lives."
"Why?" Helena asked as she looked at Myka.
"Well are you?"
"What?"
"Seeing anyone?"
"A lady never tells." She winked at him as she made her way past him.
"What kind of an answer is that?" He whined.
"One that will drive you crazy trying to find out the truth to it." She laughed as she stood in the doorway to her bedroom. "What about you Pete, are you engaging in any sexual escapades?"
Myka groaned at the question as she knew the answer to the question. Pete had spent the night with a lady whilst they were on the hunt for their last artifact.
"I just so happened to have enjoyed the company of a very beautiful lady only lastnight."
"Really?" She scoffed.
"What! I'll have you know that this is appealing to ladies."
Myka laughed. "Well what about you Mykes? Anyone special in your life currently?" The smile dropped off her face as she realised what he was asking. She was beginning to think that he knew. She looked at Helena who mouthed the word 'No' at her.
"No. No one." Her voice was calm as she said it but Pete had noticed the shift in her body language. It was all the convincing he needed to know that Myka was indeed seeing someone.
"Sucks to be you then." He playful chided as he quickly dodged the expectant punch and headed back to Claudia's room.
Helena smirked at Myka before she turned around and entered her room leaving the door open. Myka promptly followed.
"I can't believe i'm saying this but you are right Claud. Myka is seeing somebody!"
"She told you?" Claudia asked shocked.
"No. She denied seeing anyone but I could just tell she was hiding something."
"Who could it be?"
"I don't know but we are going to find out." He smiled at her mischievously.
"Dude, what are you thinking?"
"Time for a little covert operation."
"Which will involve?"
"We follow Myka this weekend to see if she meets up with anyone."
"This isn't a major breach of privacy is it?"
"It's not like you are reading her messages to determine who she is seeing. If we get caught I will convince her that it was an attempt to teach you a bit of Secret Service training. But we won't get caught." He stated sure of himself.
They spent most of the night plotting how they were going to discover the identity of her mysterious lover.
Helena awoke to the feeling of a warm body pressed into her right side. She smiled as she felt a kiss on her collarbone.
"Good morning darling."
Myka lifted her head from its place on Helena's shoulder and planted a kiss on her lips. "Good morning." She smiled as she kissed her again.
"Mmmm, I could get use to waking up like this." She rolled onto her side and pulled Myka closer to her.
"What, with me naked in your bed after a night of glorious sex?"
"Certainly that. But I was referring to waking up to have you lying in my embrace."
Myka leaned in and kissed her again. This kiss lasted longer. She poured her unspoken feelings into it and could feel Helena doing the same. She pulled back to look her in the eyes. They were filled with such warmth and love. Myka brushed a loose strand of hair away from Helena's face. As she did Helena placed a soft kiss on her palm before interlocking her fingers with Myka's.
"I love the weekends for this very reason."
"Neither one of us has to sneak back to our rooms before the others wake."
"I'd like to..." she cut herself off, afraid of saying anything more.
"You'd like to what?"
"I'd like to wake up to you in my bed more often." She said barely loud enough for Helena to hear.
"Are you asking me to share your bed more permanently?"
"I'm asking you to share it for good." She looked her in the eyes nervously.
"Nothing would make me happier." Helena kissed her passionately as she rolled Myka onto her back to continue where they had stopped the night before.
Pete was eating a late breakfast when Claudia had finally made her way downstairs to join him.
"So what did you find out?"
"Find out about what?" Steve asked as he entered the room after arriving home from a run. He went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
"Myka's mystery man." He said through a mouthful of cereal.
"Not you too." He rolled his eyes.
"Come on Jinksy, don't you want to know who it is?" Claudia asked.
"Honestly, no. If she wanted us to know about her private life she'd tell us herself. When she is ready!"
"That could take months and I can't last that long pretending not to know that something is up."Pete said as he refilled his bowl of cereal.
"Why don't you just tell her that you know?"
"I will once I get hardcore proof."
"And that text isn't proof enough?" He asked confused.
"No way! I need to have a name."
"How do you plan on learning who it is?"
"Well we figured that she has plans to meet up with whoever it is this weekend, so we just track her movements until we catch her out." Claudia said as she sat across from Pete.
"You do know that is considered stalking right?"
"It's not stalking. Pete is going to teach me how the Secret Service tracks a perp."
"Myka is not a perp."
"For this exercise she is." She smiled at him excitedly.
"You have it all figured out don't you?"
"Yup."
"You should join us?"
"As disastrous as that sounds, i'm gonna pass."
"Looks like it's just you and me Claudster."
"Pete we have movement." She paused the videogame they were playing to look at the alert flashing on her computer screen. It showed that Myka's phone had left the B&B and was currently on the move.
"Where's she headed?"
"Not sure but it looks like she is heading to Featherhead?"
"Anyone with her?"
"Give me a sec." She started typing away at her computer, she was checking to see if there were any other phones in the vicinity of Myka's. There were two. "Steve and H.G. are with her."
"Maybe they are dropping Myka off to meet up with the guy or she might try and sneak away from them."
"We have to see for ourselves." She grabbed her computer and jacket and walked out of her room.
"Where are you going?"
"We are following them."
"Alright! Operation Myka's Mystery Man is a go!"
"I never agreed on that name."
Pete and Claudia had followed the signal to a shopping complex. They were in the parking lot deciding what their next move would be.
"You can never tell Artie I did this."
"Did what?" She turned her computer screen towards him revealing several video feeds. "Whoa! Is that?"
"Yep. I've hacked into the malls security feed." She stated proudly.
"Can you see them?"
"Running facial recognition now." It took a few moments. "There!" She enlarged the screen so they could see it better. It showed Steve, Helena and Myka standing out the front of the cinema's entrance.
"Hey hey hey! Isn't that?"
"The electrician!" They watched as a rather handsome man joined them, he kissed Myka on the cheek then did the same to Helena before shaking Steve's hand.
"Well it's not him, he is gay."
"No, Steve said he isn't."
"I saw him flirting with Steve."
"You must have been seeing something else cause Steve insists he is straight. H.G. actually thinks that he might be the guy Myka is seeing."
Pete pondered the new information for a moment. He knew what he had seen.
"Pete! He was fixing something in Myka's room last week." She almost dropped her computer as she remembered the new information.
"That doesn't prove anything. I'm telling you Claud, he is gay."
"Even though Steve insists he isn't?"
"My vibes are telling me that he has a thing for Steve. Look at that body language, he's into Steve." He pointed to the screen, it was clear that he was into Steve.
"I don't see it."
"I'll make a bet with you that he is gay."
"Loser cleans the winners laundry for two weeks?"
"You're on!" They shook on it. They watched as the group entered the cinema lobby.
"They're gonna be in there for the next hour or two. There's an arcade in there. Think you can beat me at Laser Tag?"
"Of course!" Pete scoffed.
Pete and Claudia got so caught up in the games that they lost track of time.
"That little punk tripped me on purpose!" Pete whined as he limped through the Laser Tag lobby.
"Just face it Pete. I'm better at this than you."
"I demand a rematch!"
"You can barely walk, how do you expect to make it through another round?"
"Fine. But next time we are here we are having a rematch."
"Sure, it'll be fun to beat you again." She laughed as he faked glared at her.
"All this running around has made me hungry. I could go for a chilli dog."
"No! I am not riding all the way home in a car with you after eating that."
"Oh crap! What's the time?"
"Eleven, why?"
"We forgot about Myka."
"Shit!" She pulled out her phone and searched to see where Myka was. "She's on her way home, only H.G. and Steve are with her."
"Good! You keep tracking her, i'm gonna get some food and then we can leave." He limped towards the nearest food establishment.
It was after midnight by the time they made it home. Claudia confirmed that they were all home and that no other phones were present in the B&B.
"I'm gonna see if Steve is still up and ask him how Myka's date went."
"Still telling you that he is gay."
"Who's gay?"
"Myka!" He squealed and jumped as she stood in the kitchen doorway holding a bowl of strawberries. "Steve! Steve is gay." He said quickly, hoping that she had not heard any mention of a date.
"Yes, he is." She tilted her head slightly and narrowed her eyes at him. "What's going on?"
"We just got back from Featherhead. What did you get up to tonight?"
"I went to the cinema in Featherhead with Steve and Helena. What were you two doing in Featherhead?"
"Kicking Pete's ass at Laser Tag!"
"Not true!"
"It's true. He even cried at one stage." She laughed.
"That was ONE tear of pain! I busted my ankle." He said to Myka who was laughing at their antics.
"Well it sounds like you had a fun evening." She started to make her way up the stairs when Claudia noticed a bottle in the back pocket of her jeans.
"Mykes is that chocolate syrup in your pocket?" Myka froze on the spot. She felt her cheeks instantly warm as she slowly turned around and smiled shyly at them.
"Uh yeah.. it is."
"What kinky things are you getting up to?" Pete wiggled his eyebrows at her suggestively. She just rolled her eyes at him. "I thought you didn't eat sugar?"
"It doesn't count if it's on a fruit." She turned quickly and ran up the stairs away from them.
They stood on the bottom of the steps laughing at her behaviour.
It was a little after sunrise on Sunday morning. Helena had ended up in Myka's room this time. They were both sleeping peacefully; Myka had an arm draped over Helena's stomach holding her in place. A loud buzzing noise woke them from their slumber.
"What is that blasted noise?"
"Make it stop." Myka groaned still half asleep. Helena turned her head towards the noise. She grabbed the Farnsworth from the bedside table and opened it quickly.
"What!?"
"You're not Myka." Artie grumbled.
"You're observation skills astound me." She said sarcastically.
"What are you doing with her Farnsworth?"
"Answering it." She stated frustrated.
"That's not what I meant." Realising he was not going to get a serious answer from her he decided to let it go. "Nevermind, we have a ping. Inform the others that I will be there in ten." He hung up.
She closed the Farnsworth and flopped back down on the bed. She kissed Myka on the forehead. "We have to get up now."
"Don't wanna." She pulled Helena tightly against her and buried her head into her chest. Helena laughed as she extracted herself from Myka.
"I'll see you downstairs." She kissed her before leaving the bed.
"Where are you going?"
"We have a ping and I am going to wake the others." She pulled her pyjama pants on.
"One last kiss?" Helena returned to her and gave her a quick kiss. As she pulled away, Myka grabbed her and pulled her on top of her. The kiss quickly intensified. Helena stopped it as she felt Myka's hands travel lower.
"We have a ping darling." Myka pouted. "We will continue this later."
Myka watched as Helena left the room.
They were all gathered around the kitchen island as Artie informed them about the ping.
Claudia took a mouthful of her coffee before spitting it out as she noticed a hickey on Myka's right shoulder.
"Claudia?"
"You right Claud?"
"Yeah. Yeah. Thought I swallowed a fly. Sorry. Continue Artie."
After it was determined that Pete, Myka and Helena would be sent to retrieve the artefact they went to pack their things before they set off. As Pete came back downstairs Claudia called out for him to join her in the living room, away from everyone.
"What's up?" He asked as he entered the room.
"I win the bet!" She stated smugly.
"How?"
"Have you seen the hickey on Myka's neck?!"
"What!?" He asked shocked.
"Yeah. It's there and i'm just shocked as you."
"So it really is him?"
"Yup!"
"Nah that can't be right." He was certain that he was right.
"Then who left a lovebite on her neck?"
"Someone else, it has to be."
"Face it man. I win!"
"Until she confirms it then the bet is still on." He slugged his bag over his shoulder and made his way towards the driveway.
"Just prolonging the inevitable!" She yelled after him.
Pete couldn't help himself; he had to point it out to Myka.
"So Mykes, nice hickey." He couldn't contain his laughter as he watched as she quickly reached to cover the spot with her right hand and turned a bright shade of pink.
"Ah, I...I..." She closed her mouth and tried to focus on driving. Helena leaned over from the backseat of the car and pulled Myka's hand away from her neck.
"Oh good! I was afraid I hadn't sucked for long enough."
Pete quickly turned around from the passenger seat and stared at Helena shocked. She smiled at him innocently. "You did it?!"
"Yes. We were playing Truth or Dare lastnight with Steve and his friend. That was my dare." She pointed to Myka's neck.
"You played Truth or Dare without me? Not cool!" He asked hurt.
"You know why we don't play with you?"
"I told you I wouldn't use artifacts again." He whined.
They continued driving in silence for a few more miles before Pete spoke again.
"So did you enjoy it?" He asked Myka and saw the blush deepen. "You did!" He laughed as he poked her. She slapped his hand away playfully as she laughed along with him. "So who is Steve's friend?"
"Do you remember the electrician that was at the B&B last week?" Myka asked him.
"Yeah the guy that was flirting with Steve? Was Steve on a date lastnight?"
"Yes."
"I knew it!" They looked at him questioningly. "That he was gay. Claudia thinks he is straight."
"You made a bet with her didn't you?" Myka asked knowingly.
"Maybe." He continued to laugh. He typed a quick text and sent it to Claudia.
"H.G. was dared to give Myka a hickey while she was out with Steve and his GAY friend."
"We'll settle this when you get back." Claudia replied.
It was the very early hours of Wednesday morning. Claudia had been working nonstop at the warehouse to find any info on the artifact that the others were still hunting. Artie had ordered her to go home a little after 1am. She dragged herself up the stairs, through the dark. She was almost at her bedroom door when she bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry."
"No, no. I am. I should have turned the lights on." She froze as she realised that she didn't know the voice. "Who are you!?"She demanded.
"Brad! I'm a friend of Steve's."
She reached for the hallway light and turned it on. She took in the sight before her. A tall man with light brown hair and a chiseled jaw was standing before her in only his underwear. She couldn't resist letting her eyes roam over his toned upper body. She averted her eyes from going any lower.
"You're the electrician! What are you doing here practically naked in the middle of the night?"
"I thought my lack of clothing would have been obvious." He shrugged.
"Myka isn't here." She suddenly realised that since she wasn't there that he must be here for the only other female currently home. "You're cheating on her with Abigail!?" She accused.
"What? No! You have it all wrong." He tried to calmly reassure her.
"So you're not sleeping with Abigail?"
"No. I'm gay."
"Gay?" she asked confused. It was late and her mind was ready to crash at any moment.
"Yes."
"Steve said you were straight."
"He thought I was. Myka set us up."
"So you and Steve are.."
"Seeing each other, yeah." He watched as she finally understood what was going on. "Could you point me towards the bathroom?"
"What? Oh yeah! It's the door to the left of Steve's room."
"Thanks." He left her standing there as he scurried away.
She entered her room and fell on her bed exhausted. She was going to have a serious talk with Steve in the morning.
"Morning Claud!"He smiled as she entered the kitchen.
"You're happy."
"No more than usual"
"You sure, cos I know that if i'd woken up to that body in my bed, i'd be smiling like that too." She smirked at him.
"What?"
"I ran into you're electrician friend with benefits in the hallway lastnight."
"I'm so sorry about that." He tried to hide his blush from her.
"Don't be, i'm not complaining. I can't believe you thought he was straight though."
"It's not like he was wearing a sign or anything."
"From what I saw he hardly wears anything at all." She laughed. Seeing her so relaxed and accepting, Steve laughed with her. "So are you going to see him again?"
"Yeah I think so. We're gonna see how things go."
"I'm happy for you."
"Thanks."
After ruling Brad out as being Myka's mystery lover, Claudia had spent the day re-evaluating the facts. She thought back to Myka's hickey, she had been wondering if Helena really had been dared to do it. She had to ask Steve to confirm her suspicions.
"Hey Jinksy, we're you playing Truth and Dare with Myka and H.G. on Saturday night?" She asked casually.
"No why?"
"You positive you or Brad did not dare H.G to do anything?"
"Positive. Why?
"Just, uh something I have to get to the bottom of. I gotta check into something." She left him in the aisle to finish his inventory as she made her way to the office.
"Who holds the record for most snags?! Pete does." He sang as he entered the warehouse office holding a Static bag.
"Dude, H.G. holds the record, you aren't even close."
"I was referring to Warehouse 13 agents." He stuck his tongue out at her.
"Where are H.G and Myka?" Artie asked.
"They were looking a little tired so I dropped them off at the B&B. Here you go Artie, one Lucky Rabbit's foot, which brings the wearer a serious amount of bad luck. Go figure."
"If they're tired then why aren't you?" Claudia asked curious.
"I might have had a few energy drinks."
"Well you can burn that energy off by filling in your artefact report. And you can go to the Brunswick Aisle and retrieve Marion Jacobs' microphone."
"Can't I get to it later?" Pete whined.
"On it." Claudia grabbed a tablet computer and waved goodbye to Pete as she left the room.
"Now."
Myka and Helena entered the B&B and discovered that they had the place to themselves.
"I'm going to get a drink, would you like anything from the kitchen?"
"No thank you darling, i'll put our bags away and meet you in the library." She gave her a quick peck on the lips and left the room.
Myka made her way to the library with a bottle of water in her hand. She entered the small room to find that Helena was not there yet. She turned around to see where she was only to find Helena standing in the doorway looking at her.
There was a look of raw desire filling her eyes. It set a fire low in Myka's stomach.
"Helena?" she asked cautiously.
"Yes darling?" she purred as she walked towards her.
"What are you doing?"
"I think you know exactly what I am doing." She whispered in her ear before kissing her passionately. She quickly pulled Myka's shirt from her pants before undoing the button and zipper of her pants.
"We can't do this here." Helena pushed her backwards until her back made contact with a bookshelf. She placed her hand inside Myka's underwear, running it along soft curls before being met with wet heat. They both moaned at the contact.
"I believe you're body disagrees." She smirked at her as she slowly circled Myka's opening before inserting two fingers into her causing Myka to throw her head back against a shelf.
Myka pulled Helena in for a kiss. She sucked her lip into her mouth and bit it. She ran her tongue over it to soothe it and was met by Helena's tongue. Helena started thrusting into her, slowly at first but each moan that escaped Myka's lips spurred her to increase her efforts.
Helena lifted Myka off her feet and leaned her full weight into the shelf. Myka rapped her legs tightly around Helena. The new position caused each thrust to hit just the right spot each time Myka lowered herself onto Helena's hand.
"Yes... there!" Helena increased her speed. She felt as Myka's walls clenched around her fingers. She held her tight as she came down from her orgasm. Once Myka opened her eyes, Helena removed her fingers and brought them to her mouth, she watched the fire ignite in those green eyes as she licked Myka's taste from her fingers. Myka kissed her, she moaned as she tasted herself on Helena's tongue. She returned her feet to the ground and pushed Helena against the desk in the corner of the room.
"These. Off. Now." She said between kisses as she pulled the belt loose from Helena's pants. Helena quickly underdid her zipper and lowered her underwear and pants, letting them pool at her feet before stepping out of them. Myka pushed her back against the desk and lifted her onto it. She tore Helena's shirt open, sending buttons flying into the room and made quick work of undoing her bra. Helena quickly discarded the items so she sat before Myka in only her socks. Myka stepped back to take in the sight before her. Helena was panting, a sheen of sweat glistening over her skin. Her hair was tussled, lips swollen, nipples erect and a noticeable wetness was present between her legs. Myka thought she looked absolutely stunning. She took a moment to decide where to start first.
"You are so beautiful." She kissed her on the lips and marked a trail of wet kisses down her throat. She nipped at a particularly sensitive spot behind her ear which caused a breathy moan to escape Helena's lip. Helena felt Myka smile against her throat before she moved lower.
She ran her tongue over a nipple as she rapped an arm around Helena and pulled her against her. Helena arched into her, hoping for friction where she needed it most. She arched further when she felt Myka bite down on her nipple. "Myka!"
She gave the other nipple the same treatment. She moved lower, leaving a trail of heated kisses along her stomach. She released her hold on Helena so she could clear the table before instructing her to lie down.
She continued to move lower until she could feel Helena's heat on her face. She placed a soft kiss on her folds, causing Helena to gasp. Myka kissed Helena's thigh and started to move lower along her leg, teasing her.
"Myka!"
"Something you need Helena?"
"Yes! I need your mouth on me. Please." Myka smirked at having made Helena beg. It was not an easy task to accomplish.
She kissed her way back up her leg, pausing when she was at her apex again. Helena lifted her head from the table and looked her in the eye. Myka smiled as she lowered her tongue into Helena's heat and ran her tongue from her entrance to her clit. She repeated the action over and over, causing Helena to thrust against her as she moaned uncontrollably. Myka inserted two fingers into her, tilting them upwards with each thrust. She continued to stroke her tongue between her folds, circling her clit. She picked up the pace as she felt Helena getting closer to climax. She sucked her clit into her mouth which caused Helena to scream out in ecstasy as she came, rising from the table before collapsing on it exhausted. Myka continued to stroke her clit with her tongue until she felt Helena's hand in her hair, pushing her away.
"No more darling. I need time to recover from that." She panted. Myka placed a final kiss on her folds before climbing on top of her and kissing her. "I could use that drink now." They both laughed as Myka picked up the bottle from the floor and handed it to her.
"Once you can feel your legs again, come find me." She raised an eyebrow at her as she started to undo the buttons of her shirt. She smiled at her and left the room.
After hearing that Helena and Myka were alone in the B&B, Claudia decided to investigate her suspicions. She brought up the video feed from inside the B&B. She set the time to play from when she thought Myka and Helena might have arrived home. A minute later she saw them enter the front door. She sped it up until she saw Helena standing in the entrance to the library.
"Holy frak! I knew it." She smiled as she watched Helena kissing Myka. She looked away from the screen as she noticed Steve and Abigail walking towards her. "Hey guys."
"Hey Claudia, what you doing?" Steve asked.
"Retrieving something for Artie." She looked back at the screen before they got any closer. "Shit!" She frantically tried to close the window as she saw Helena with her hand in Myka's pants. "Shit shit shit!" She closed it just in time.
"What's wrong?" Steve asked.
"Uh..." She couldn't get the image out of her head.
"You look like you've seen a ghost." Abigail said.
"Uh, i'm gonna get this to Artie before he gets too annoyed."
"Claud?" Her cheeks were almost as dark as her hair.
"Claudia?"
She started sprinting back towards the office with her computer under one arm and the microphone in her hand.
Claudia had been unusually quiet for the rest of the afternoon. She was in the car with Pete travelling home. He had been getting a weird vibe from her and decided to ask her about it.
"You okay? I'm getting an odd vibe from you."
"I'm fine. Just saw something I really wish I hadn't." She shuddered as the image re-emerged in her head.
"What?"
"I'd rather not share. But thanks.. you know.. for caring."
"Of course. But you know you can tell me anything?"
"I know. I'll be fine." "I hope" she said so quiet that he didn't hear.
Pete decided to break the tension with humor.
"I believe you owe me something." He smiled at her.
"Huh?" She asked confused.
"The bet."
"Ugh!" She groaned.
"Just a little warning, my socks have been extra ripe lately according to Myka and H.G." At the mention of his socks and the two people she was trying to get out of her head, she decided that she could turn the tables on the bet.
"How about double or nothing?"
"What are we betting on?"
"That Myka is seeing H.G."
"There is no way that they are together. Steve has already confirmed it. But if you really want to do my laundry for a month then i'll be more than happy to take that bet." He put his hand out and shook hers.
"I am going to win this one for sure. And when I do you will be begging to clean the Gooery again." She smiled at him knowing that she had it won. She just had to find a way to prove it to him that wasn't as shocking or graphic to him as it was to her.
