Incalculable Manoeuvre
By Tricki
It's an incalculable manoeuvre – Simon could in no way anticipate it, and therefore in no way react appropriately. She ducks past him, ball in hand with a gleeful grin on her face, and all he can think to do is grab her around the middle.
She giggles as they topple to the ground. He falls on top of her - thankfully, the ball has already flown from her hands or she would have a seriously bruised sternum – and balances above her, laughing with her. He half slides off her, his weight now largely on the grass covered ground rather than her and rests his head on her, continuing to laugh.
After a long moment, their breath caught, Simon rolls and manoeuvres her so she's on top of him, hands clasped on the small of her back.
"You really should stop cheating when we play basketball." He states.
Amanda grins at him. "Then you really should stop making it so appealing for me to cheat."
