810 Words
"Bam!!!"
"That's the last one" someone whispered
"The woman won"
" He was so full of himself only to get beaten by a woman" another person muttered. there were a few chuckles from the crowd of men that have gathered around.
Tracy hadn't missed a single shot since she started and the board was fully cleared she smiled to herself feeling accomplished and looked up at her opponents face only to find the man still in some sort of shock.
"no this isn't fair..... I want a rematch" the man proposed when he finally snapped out of his shock.
"Nope..... I don't have time to play with amateurs" Tracy said while heading for the exit door.
Her reply gave way to more chuckles and even bits of laughter from the men around leaving her opponent feeling embarrassed.
"wait...." he called out just before her hand touched to the doorknob she spun around and faced him.
"let's try something else..." he said with a sinister grin on his face
"which is?" she asked with an eyebrow raised
He walked closer to her and announced " since you're a feeling like a man today why don't we have a drinking contest let's see how you can beat a fully fledged man at that" He walked a little bit closer but made sure his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear
"If I win.. you will have to dance around for us men" Tracy noticed the way he looked at her and knew he was already imagining her dancing around naked.... she was in the mood to teach the man a lesson.
"And if you lose.....?"Tracy asked
"Um... "
It was clear that the man hadn't thought of that part yet. Tracy snorted, turned around and reached for the door knob.
"wait.... if I lose I'll have to admit in front of everyone that I'm a coward" The man said hurriedly.
"And that you have nothing in you that makes you a man" Her addition gave way to an outburst of laughter among the men.
"Deal..." The man said through gritted teeth...he will teach-this smug woman a lesson tonight
Tracy smiled knowing she had an extremely high alcohol tolerance althoughshe had not tasted alcohol for several months but she was confident she would beat the man in front of her plus.... she loves challenges.
"Deal"

In less than 10 minutes a board was cleared and on one end of the board were 30 shots of whiskey same for the other end....a high stool was placed on the floor of both ends of the board.
Tracy sat on one of the stools and stared at the drinks in front of her then she looked opposite at her Challenger
"You can withdraw if you're too scared" He said to her
With a smirk on her face she said " someone's afraid of saying the truth out loud"
The men were thrown into another fit of laughter obviously intrigued by this bold woman
"Enough.... let's start now" her opponent said seeming angry
The waiter who prepared the board stood at the edge of the board and shouted
"On the count of three....1...2.....3 ....Go!!! "
Tracy downed the first five shots with the man keeping up with her
________________________________________________
"Done"
Tracy shouted as she put down her last cup.... Her cheeks red and flushed due to the whiskey, her eyes were spinning but she managed to keep her act together. Same could not be said for opponent whose face was completely red,his sleeves rolled up with two buttons on his shirt freed from their cage. He still had five shots in front of him. She was still accessing the man when she realised that the men around her were clapping while some were cheering
"Whoa....the lady won"
"My eyes almost popped out in shock"
"Even I can't handle that much whiskey".
"Wait... he lost that means that he will have to say those words".
With that last statement everyone's attention was shifted to the man on the other end of the board
"He looks completely drunk"
Tracy got up from her stool and managed to walk up to the man. She tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey mister..you still have to keep to your part of the deal"
The man who hasn't said a word since she won Bowed his head low shame and muttered
"I... am..... a ....coward"
"I can't hear you clearly" Tracy shouted.
"I am a coward" The man said louder this time
" And"
" I don't have anything in me that....makes me a man" he lowered his voice once again
"Louder!!!" Tracy almost barked
"I have nothing in me that makes me a man!"
"Good...you better don't forget that"
After saying that she walked out of the place cuz she knew she couldn't hold it in for much longer.________________________
