Nick and his friends were sitting around his house watching the basketball game. Nick was watching the game until he heard,
�Heads up Nick.� He looked up just in time to see a beer flying towards him,
�Thanks man.�
�So, I was out to dinner and guess who I saw?� Nick shrugged,
�I�m supposed to guess? Just tell me dude.� Sam laughed,
�Shayna�she was on date with some old guy. Nick looked over at him to see if he was kidding or not,
�Did you go up to her?� He shook his head,
�Nah, we saw them outside the restaurant after they came out, they were kissing and laughing.� Nick stared at the television,
�Well, its over, its no big deal, I don�t care.� His friends all went back to watching the game but Nick couldn�t get the idea of Shayna being with someone else out of his head. He started thinking back to the day they met.
He couldn�t help but laugh as she totally missed her shot. She looked over at him,
�What�s so funny?� He quickly stopped laughing,
�Nothing, sorry.� She smiled and walked over to him,
�So, are you playing for money or something or can you give me some lessons?� He laughed and nodded at his friends,
�We can help you.� He was the only one that gave her lessons, at least the intimate ones. He would stand behind her and position her arms and legs. He couldn�t help but admire the view as she bent over. She smiled and flirted with him the whole time; she was aware he was looking at her and she figured he must have given his friends a sign at some point because they started playing at another table. At the end of their lesson she walked over to him,
�Thanks for the tips even though I think I�m a lost cause.� He laughed,
�It takes time.� Neither of them seemed to know what to say,
�Wanna come back to room?� She looked at him with an amused look on his face and he became nervous and flustered,
�No, I mean not like that�I mean just to hang out.� She nodded and smiled,
�Actually, I don�t think it�s a good idea, I�m tired and need to sleep.� He nodded and she looked over her shoulder before turning back to him,
�Hold on a minute.� She returned with a piece of paper and began talking as she wrote,
�Here�here�s my hotel and here�s my room number�I know how guys can be about calling, if you do great, if not�no loss.� She slid the paper towards him on the table and as she walked off he asked,
�So, when is a good time?� She looked at him and smiled,
�Whenever you call.� She walked off and never looked back. Every since then he wanted her, maybe it was the challenge of her not falling all over him, of her not going back to his room like everyone else would have. Sure, he said it wasn�t like that but he would have tried her, it was after one in the morning, what else would he do, and she knew it too.
�Hello man, where are you?� He snapped out of his dream as he saw a hand waving before his face,
�What? What�s up?� They laughed and Craig looked down at him,
�We�re gonna head out. They are going clubbing of course.�
�Yeah man, come with us.� Nick shook his head and stood up and stretched,
�Nah, I�m not in the mood. I�m tired.� He walked them to the door and sat on the couch. What the hell was with her going out? Wait, why was he so mad? No, Shayna was his and the thought of another man touching her kissing her. He couldn�t even imagine her having sex with someone, that just made him sick. He picked up the phone,
�Hello?�
�Hey Natasha�its Nick, sorry to call so late but I need a favor.�
