Love Outweighs Ignorance

@ paradigm;
Callie watched Matt, her eyes taking in his stony demeanor. He wasn't giving anything away, she watched as he flipped an Ace, meaning she had two pairs. Biting the inside of her cheek she wondered if that would be enough to win her this hand. But something in the back of her mind told her to fold, ignoring it she continued before hearing Matt's words about showing him her cards. Placing her card face up she watched as he placed his down. Rolling her eyes at his smirk she kicked off on of her shoe, before smirking at him. She wasn't going to make it easier on him as far as getting her naked. "Zoe your deal." She told her friend.

Matt was a little disappointed when all Callie removed was her shoe, but he'd been expecting it. Hopefully, the drummer was a bit braver because they were playing strip poker and he wanted to see something interesting, dammit. He handed his cards to the drummer, letting her shuffle quickly before she dealt the next hand. Matt lifted up the corners of his cards, seeing a two and a seven. Honestly, this time around it could go either way. But Matt wasn't shy about his body, he had no problem taking off a few articles of clothing.

Callie watched as Zoe dealt, her eyes turned to look at her friend. "This times ante's one shirt." Zoe called, before ever looking at her card. "You don't have to take it off unless you lose." She smirked at Callie. They were always playing dirty, it was also a way to ensure things moved faster. Their games were usually just the girls all playing. But this time Matt was involved. Callie rolled her eyes before looking at her cards, she had two sevens. Lucky right out the gate. She watched as Zoe flipped over an ace, a ten, and a two. "Check." She told her friend calling her bluff, she wasn't worried about Matt at the moment. Right now she could kill her friend for ever having said anything. "Matt?" Zoe asked the man wondering if he'd take the bet.

Matt probably could've kissed the drummer when she said that the ante this round was one shirt, although he was a little disappointed when she told Callie she wouldn't have to take it off unless she lost. He would settle for seeing either one of the girls naked, partially or otherwise, but he would rather see Callie. "I'll check," Matt said, leaning back against the booth. His hand wasn't really good enough to bet right now. "Alright, let's see the flop and the river, see if I might be able to start getting one of you beautiful ladies undressed."

Callie watched as Zoe flipped another ace. Rolling her eyes at Matt's words she wanted to punch him in the dick, it wasn't often she liked a guy. But he when he started complementing other women in front of her, it chipped away at her self esteem. Something she didn't have a lot of. Matt had already fucked another woman and she let it slide, but he was pushing his luck with her. Hearing Zoe call for final bets, and when every one checked she flipped the final card, king. "Show em." Zoe snapped, watching the other two flip their cards, rolling her eyes she noticed Callie's hand beat Matt's. Smirking she threw her two cards on the table, a ten and queen. "Take it off." She told them both, though she was more talking to Callie. Rolling her eyes she smirked at her friend. She was glad Zoe was the one playing, she made her feel wanted. Even though she was straight both girls had joked around about going lesbian for the other. Callie quickly pulled off her shirt leaving her in her bra, before throwing it in Zoe's face. Grabbing the cards it was her deal.

Matt checked when Zoey called for final bets, flipping over his cards when he needed to. It only took once glance to see that he had the shittiest hand, but he didn't mind. He grinned as he tugged off his shirt, dropping it onto the floor. He had no problem showing off his body. Matt looked over at Callie as she pulled off her shirt as well, his eyes lingering on her chest for a few seconds. The bra she was wearing definitely did her a lot of favors. Not that she really needed it. "Alright Callie, it's your deal, I believe?" Matt said, grinning at her as he slid her his cards.

@ paradigm;
Callie smiled as she quickly shuffled the cards, her hands making quick work of dealing the cards. Facing an ace, a king, and a ten on the river. She place the deck aside, not ever bother about looking at her cards. "You're call Matt." She informed him, it was a fast pace game. But she wasn't even embarrassed as his eyes lingered on her chest too long. She knew that taking her pants off would be harder, but it was something she would look at as a stride in her therapy. But now she was wondering if he'd take it a step further, but looking over the clock, they still had a bit of time before the next stop so he had plenty of time to get her undressed.

Matt waited until Callie had tossed out the first three cards before he peeked at his hand, trying to hide his grin when he saw a Jack and a Queen. As it was he had a straight, which he doubted the girls had anything to beat that. "You know, I think I'm going to make a bet this time," he said, leaning back in the booth. "Pants. So if you don't fold and you lose, you've got to take off your pants. If you fold, something still has to come off, but you can choose."

@ paradigm;
Callie listened to Matt's bet, she watched as Zoe gauged his reaction before she anted up. "I'm game." She smirked before turning to look at Callie. Lifting her cards she shook her head, "yeah I'm out." She said taking in the 7 and 2. Kicking off her other shoe, she looked at Matt. Knowing that even folding still had her losing a piece of clothing. She nibbled on her lip, it left her in her pants and bra, she knew another big bet and she'd be in her panties and bra. She was just glad she was wearing a cute thong that matched her bra. It was a big step with her.

"Damn, such a shame," Matt teased, seeing Callie fold. He was disappointed that he hadn't taken him up on the bet, but he could understand why she hadn't. He just would've thought that since Zoey had probably seen her leg and Matt knew about it, she would be comfortable enough, but oh well. He digressed. "Alright, let's see 'em," Matt said when Callie had finished dealing. He turned over his cards with a flourish, smirking when Zoey groaned as she realized he had a straight. "Since you didn't fold, lost the pants," he told her. He looked over at Callie with a grin. "Next time you should take the bet, too. It's more fun that way."

@ paradigm;
Callie smirked at Matt, seeing the disappointment behind his eyes. She wondered if it was just going to be a hit it and quit it kind of thing for them. But she really enjoyed their time together. She didn't know how well things would work out if it was just a one time sexual encounter. "That's why I didn't take the bet." She told Zoe, knowing Matt had a hand to rival and hers was shit. Zoe chuckled before slipping her pants off, a pair of men's boxer shorts sitting on her hips. "Nice." Callie chuckled before handing Matt the deck of cards, since it was his deal.

Matt couldn't help but chuckle when he realized that Zoey was wearing men's boxers. They almost looked like Jimmy's boxers, but he couldn't quite tell from his seat. Matt shuffled the cards before he dealt, glancing at his cards before he burned and turned the first three cards. He had a two and a nine, which on their own were shit, but honestly, it could go either way. He turned the first three cards, showing a pair of fours and a six. So as of now, he had one pair, but so did everyone else. "Alright Zoey, check, bet, or fold?" Matt asked, looking to his left.

@ paradigm;
Zoey smirked at Callie having a four and a six. "I'll bet my shirt to your pants." She said knowing that if Callie had at least a pair it wouldn't be her full house. Callie nibbled on her lip looking over her pair of kings. "Ill take that bet. Matt?" She questioned, he was still wearing his pants so if he folded wouldn't be held to any standard to remove any clothing. All Callie needed was another 4 or a king. But as of now she held two pairs. Waiting till Matt anted up he flipped the last two cards. A 8 and then a 5. Callie nibbled on her lip hoping that her two kings beat her friends hand.

"I'm down," Matt said, agreeing with the bet. He didn't mind losing his pants. He wasn't shy. Flipping over the last two cards, he frowned, seeing that he only had the pair of fours that everyone else had, nine high. So he'd definitely lost the hand. "Alright everybody, let's see those cards," Matt said, flipping over his cards. Once Callie and Zoey had done the same, Matt glanced over, seeing that Callie had two pairs and Zoey had a full house. "Looks like Zoey wins this hand," Matt said. "Full house beats two pairs." He smirked at Callie. "So it looks like we both have to lose our pants." Deciding to make a show out of it, Matt slid out of the booth, unbuttoning and unzipping his jeans before he slid them down his legs and kicked them off. This left him in only his boxers, so he needed to do better if he wanted to maintain his decency.

@ paradigm;
Callie nibbled on her lips as she knew she'd lost, grabbing the waist of her pants she unbuttoned them, slowly drawing them down her legs she knew it would be harder for her to take them off standing. Dropping them down beside her she made sure Zoey seen them hit the floor before she grabbed the cards and handed them to her friend, seeing it was her deal. Leaning forward she could feel Matt's eyes on her. It was a first having a man she her this exposed. Though for some odd reason she wasn't as quite embarrassed as she thought she would be. But she knew that her body image issues weren't always shared by others.

Matt sat back down in the booth, watching Callie as she removed her pants. He could tell she was very nervous about this and he felt a little bad for staring at her, but he couldn't help himself. A beautiful woman was taking her pants off in front of him, he was going to stare a little. He leaned in close to her. "You look nice," he said softly. Matt decided to leave it at that, not wanting to make Callie anymore uncomfortable than she already was. Collecting the cards, Matt passed the deck to Zoey. "Your deal," he said.

@ paradigm;
Callie felt the cold breeze on her skin, it left goosebumps in its wake. The coolness causing her entire body to be effected, a pain rang out from her chest as she felt her nipples harden. It was rare for her to be this bare, and she knew it would be a while before they finished or someone called it quits. Hearing Matt's words she felt her body tense up, of course she knew he had been looking at her. Though she knew he was just trying to calm her fears down, nice didn't help though. She didn't want to look nice naked. It wasn't what any girl wanted to hear. But she wouldn't complain she knew that he was only trying to help. Grabbing two cards she looked over the two aces, she wondered what kind of luck did she have.

Matt's comment obviously made Callie uncomfortable and it made him feel bad because that hadn't been what he'd wanted to do. Of course, she looked better than nice. But he didn't want her to feel like he was outright ogling her or anything. He took the cards from Zoey as she dealt them, peeking at them to see a seven and Jack, both hearts. So at least he had that going for him. "Callie, it's your call," Matt said. "Check, bet, or fold." It was really getting down to it now, so someone would probably be mostly naked by the time this hand was over or ast least the next hand.

@ paradigm;
Callie watched as Zoe flipped the river facing an ace, a ten, and another ten. "I'm in." Callie said looking at Zoe wondering if her was willing to lose her shirt. Zoe smirked at Callie, "I'm in." She said before looking over her ten and the 2 in her hand. Nibbling her lip she turned to Matt, wondering if he was willing to go up against these two and lose his boxers.

"I'm in, too," Matt said. With the three cards on the river, he only had the one pair that everyone shared, but Jack high, which wasn't shabby. However, if either Callie or Zoey had another ace in their hand, they had it. And if one of them had two aces, hell, they might as well just day they won right now because they had a full house. There wasn't that beat that. "Flip those last cards over, Zoey," Matt teased. The drummer rolled her eyes before she burned and turned the last two cards, turning over a three and a four. So Matt had just the pair of tens. Hell, he'd won with less. He turned his cards over. "Let's see 'em," he said. Once he saw Callie and Zoey's cards, he knew he'd lost. "Damn, are you two secretly card sharks or something?" Matt asked jokingly. "One of you has three of a kind and the other one has a fucking full house. Shit. But Callie wins. Full house beats three of a kind."
