| "She doesn't want to be doing this the rest of her life. She might've got strapped for money or something and the dollars have just kept her coming back." "Just let it go D. You'll never have a girl like that and as for Angie baby, drop her like a hot potato man Okay?" "Okay. " "So let's party. This is a party after all." "I'll be with you in a minute okay?" "Sure,"AJ took a swig of his drink and left him alone. He's probably right as he cleaned the lipstick from his lips. Asshole. I don't need him. But I do. I need every part of him. I don't know him but I know all I need to know to about him. I'm just denying those facts so I don't have to deal with him. But he made me feel human again and now I have to throw on my mask and make another man's dreams come true. She found her way to the gymnasium. She took a deep breath before opening the door. It closed behind her with a deep thud attaining their attention. Brian and Nick turned from their game. She stood at the door. Game time."I'm sorry. I was looking for the girl's gym. I'll just go,"As she attempted to leave. Brian had a small part in the charade. He hustled across the gym and blocked her entrance."Hey. You're the new girl in school aren't you?" "What's it to you?" "Nothing but my friend over there is kinda shy when it comes to girls and well." "I'm not that kinda girl." "I didn't say you were. I was just thinking I could introduce y'all and then you can take it from there." "Okay. By they way, my name is Brooke." "I'm Brian. Nice to meet you." "Hey Bri! We got a game to finish here,"Nick yelled across the empty room. "Don't be rude,"Brian walked Kara across the gym to where Nick stood."Nick this is Brooke. She's new here and she told me she thinks you're kinda cute." Her red and white streamed pom-poms hung freely in her hands at her side. "Brooke, this is Nick." She smiled up to him."I'm sorry I interrupted your game." " Don't be silly. Maybe he can show you a few of his more impressive moves." "On or off the court?"Kara flirtatiously aimed her remark toward Nick. "I'll just leave you two to get to know each other better." |
| "We're not finished here yet Brian,"Nick protested but Brian had since disappeared from the gym. "Looks like we're all alone now,"Kara smiled. "Seems my friend is showing few manners himself,"Nick remarked "Depends on your view." "And what would that be?" "It's very good from where I stand,"she traced a direct line down the center of his chest to the waist of the knee length shorts he wore. His big blue eyes met her playful stormy blue gaze. She toyed with the option of viewing the package inside and released him. "But you don't wanna do that ." "I didn't say that." "Okay. Why don't we make this interesting then. If I make the shot, we do what I want and if you win, we do what you want. Although I'm thinking we have the same thing in mind,"she bent over to get the ball and gave him a bird's eye view of her bareness underneath the short skirt. A devious smile spread slowly across her face. She shot the ball toward him and he took his place at the free throw line."You get first shot." "Ladies choice,"his impish smile danced fluidly onto his face as he desperately tried concentrating on the hoop but found his eyes wandering under that skirt of hers. He placed the shot with ease and she grabbed the ball once again. She stood at the free throw line watching him; hoping he would be the one to throw off her game but it was that bastard in the hallway that was throwing her off. Pushing him out of her mind, she made her shot . "Okay, we're at a draw. How bout a little one on one?" "Okay,"he agreed. "And just to make the game a smidge more interesting, when the other party makes a shot, you have to remove a piece of your clothing." |
| "Hardly seems fair to you,"Nick responded. "And how are you so sure I don't have more on underneath then what you've already seen?" "Okay. You're on,"not being able to resist a challenge."And I'll let you have first go at it." "Because I'm a lady? Go right ahead,"she tossed the ball back in his direction. Her petiteness gave her an advantage he was oblivious to as she stole the ball and made the first shot. "I do believe you owe me something,"her efforts concentrated fully on Nick no matter what Howie had said to her. "No fair. You took advantage of my weakened state." "Are you afraid of me?"she played. "You're kidding right?" "You keep backing away from me honey. Do I have to resort to means as otherwise indicated in the rules." "I wasn't aware there were any rules,"He responded as she had him backed him up against the wall. "Just seeing if you were paying attention,"her hands crept up under the sleeveless basketball jersey; practically willing the thing to come off as he pulled it the remaining distance. She was careful to not leave any marks but her nails found their way downward and slightly below the waist of his shorts. On tipped toe she drew his lips to hers. Resisting the temptation, he responded in a playfully polite tone,"No distracting the opposing team,"as he released her. She pouted thinking she could win this round but no such luck. She would win eventually; it was all in the timing. "Not gonna work. My turn,"his large frame bent in half to pick up the ball. |
