Winner takes all
Three times Amber beat Thirteen and one time they both lost.
1.
Amber didn’t understand how it could have happened. She’d been so on top of things. She’d bought all the oranges squares, had hotels on nearly all of her properties but she was still losing to Remy, it didn’t make sense monopoly was Amber’s game.
She rolled the dice again and moved on to Marvin gardens.
“I own that one”
Remy practically sang
Amber groaned and turned to look at her rapidly shrinking pile of money.
“You know we could always think of alternant payment plan?”
Remy said smirking
“What kind of payment did you have in mind?”
“Well instead of paying me, you could just remove an item of clothing”
“Fine”
Amber peeled off her sock and laid it on the floor next to them. She would be back on top in no time losing clothes instead of money was definitely the better way to play.
Remy stared down at her pile of money it has diminished rather quickly, having Amber sitting topless across from her really wasn’t doing anything to help her concentration.
She glanced at Amber again and rolled.
Amber could barely contain herself.
“New York Avenue with a hotel now that’s going to set you back”
“I have the grand total of $105 dollars”
“I’m afraid that’s not really going to cover it, but I’d be willing to settle for some other form of payment”
“And what would that be”
Amber leaned forwards and kissed Remy’s neck gently
“Take off your clothes and we can go from there”
“You know losing to you isn’t that bad”
Remy said pulling Amber into a kiss.
2.
“Be quiet”
Amber said peering around the door
“I’m being quiet”
“Be quieter”
Remy wrapped her arms around Amber and pulled her towards her. Remy lent closer and bit Ambers earlobe lightly
“Quiet enough?”
“Pretty good”
Amber said breathlessly
“Okay there coming”
They both peered out from the cupboards door, to see House and Foreman coming down the corridor.
Amber couldn’t hear what they were saying, but from their expressions it was pretty clear it wasn’t work related. This was going to be the easiest money she had ever made.
“Come on now”
She whispered
Foreman looked round before pulling House into a kiss
Remy groaned, she’d really thought House was with Wilson.
“Pay up”
Amber said grinning
Thirteen pulled the hundred out of her pocket
“You win”
“I always do”
Amber said and pushed her against the cupboard wall
“But I’ll make it up to you”
3.
Thirteen could feel her legs cramping up, but at least she knew she was going to be first, there was no way Amber could beat her. She ran this route everyday and she couldn’t even remember the last time Amber had gone jogging. Turning the corner she stopped suddenly, it just wasn’t possible. Amber was sitting on a bench grinning.
“What took you so long?”
Amber asked smiling at her as she came over
“No there is no way you beat me here”
Remy said shaking her head
“It just isn’t possible”
“Anything’s possible”
“Not anything”
“Okay not anything but getting a cab here was”
“It was a race you can’t take a cab”
“You never said that, you said the first one here wins, never said how we had to get here”
Remy didn’t know if she was more amused or annoyed. Amber never played by the rules but she liked that about her. She liked everything about her.
“Is there a rule you haven’t broken?”
“The only rule it to win and I did”
“I hate you”
Remy said trying to conceal a smile
“Do you have any idea how sexy you are when your cross”
Amber whispered in her ear
“Flattery will get you no where”
“What will?”
“Accepting you punishment”
“Punishment?”
“I think a spanking would teach you not to break rules”
Remy said smirking
“What an excellent idea”
Amber slid her fingers through Remy’.
“Let’s go back to yours”
“In a cab”
“Of course”
4.
Remy couldn’t sleep when she slept all she could see was Amber but it was the same when she was awake. She opened her eyes gradually and saw her sitting at the end of the bed. It had been to months since Amber had died and Remy was seeing her more each day, it went from just glimpses to full on conversations.
“It’s kind of funny don’t you think, I mean this is one game I should have won hands down”
Amber said smiling at her
“What game”
“This game”
Amber gestured around her
“Who lives who dies, I mean sorry baby but I always thought you’d be the first to go, what with Huntington’s and all.
Remy closed her eyes and whished for her to go away.
“Closing you eyes doesn’t make me go away”
“What do you want?”
“To congratulate you on winning”
“I didn’t win”
“Sure you did”
“What exactly did I win?”
Remy said half crying
“You got to live”
