–I Own Nothing –-Mario Kart -–Lioness002 :)

...

It was 2:30 in the afternoon and I was in my bedroom playing Mario Kart. It was a game I played for Gamecube and DS, but the Wii version was much more complicated. The tricks and the wheel oh so sensitive to the touch.

"I thought this was supposed to be easy!" I mumbled. I was starting to get annoyed that I was running into walls and other peoples carts. 'Ugh!' I already had my drivers license but I had been watching Ben and Kevin play this earlier and they did it so easily. I sucked at it.

"How do they do this stupid game!" I screamed when a voice came from the doorway of my room.

"We got mad skills that's how...actually strike that, I have mad skills." There in the doorway was none other than my boyfriend Kevin, looking so fine leaning against the door frame.

"When did you get here? I thought you left." He then walked over and sat next to me on the bed. The close proximity of him was enough to erase my mind like a slate. His scent messed with me even worse, his rugged man smell that you could only describe as Kevin.

"I did leave, but then I came back." He then gave me a roughish smile. "I wanted to have some alone time with you and teach you how to play Mario Kart because you obviously don't know how to play." How he did that I don't know, see right through me, read me like an open book. I opened my mouth and then closed it.

"And...how long were you standing there?" I asked him worriedly afraid he had seen some of my random outbursts. I flushed red when he grazed his hand along my collar bone, where his fingers left a trail of goose bumps.

"Long enough to know you were getting agitated with the game." He breathed. He smirked when me saw me grimace.

"Well it was annoying to watch you and Ben do so well and me suck." He then chuckled at my face, it was full of self pity.

"Oh come on Gwen, you don't think we got that good over night do you? We do spend a lot of time playing video games, it's kind of expected that we be good." I shook my head and tried to turn away from him but he stopped me.

"If you want to get better, I could help you." I bit my lip, I would love to be able to play the game well but I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Kevin. I looked at him and was about to suggest we do something else but he grabbed my hand and started rubbing circles.

"I would love to help you, that way I could have a real fun time trying to beat you." He smiled and started to rub my back. I sighed and shook my head.

"If you really want to waist your time on a lost cause be my guest." He smirked and went to set up the game.

"What character do you want to be?" He asked once he got to the racing screen. I turned and scanned the screen.

"Toad." He turned and gave me an odd look. I stared back.

"What?" I asked with true confusion.

"Not even Toadette? The girl Toad?" I smiled and told him why.

"It's kind of a tradition, my brother played him all the time and I use him now." I smiled and walked over to Kevin.

"We have a strong emotion bond." Kevin snorted at my sarcasm and choose Toad.

"Whatever, your just a weirdo." I nodded at him and leaned into him.

"Yes, but I'm your weirdo." I giggled as he kissed my forehead.

"Oh so true Gwen." I grabbed the Wii remote and placed it in the steering wheel.

"Lets just get this over with Kevin." He nodded and pulled me over to the bed.

"Now, do one race for me so I can see what your problem is." I nodded and started the race, I started off in last place and stayed there the whole time. I could feel Kevin behind me shaking with mute laughter.

When I finally crossed the finish line, every one had lapped me including the person in 11th place. Kevin just sat there staring at the TV screen. I had to shake him a little before he stopped spacing out.

"My god Gwen, that was the worst Mario Kart I have ever seen." I fell over on my bed and just closed my eyes. That was exactly what I knew was going to happen, Kevin wouldn't even know how to help me.

"I told you I was a lost cause Kevin." I moaned in failure. He then tried to coax me out of mopping.

"Gwen, will you look at me please, I have some tips." I shook my head and turned away from him.

"No." When I thought he was going to give up I couldn't have been more wrong. I tensed when I felt Kevin slowly slide his hand along my back and then flat stomach. But I burst out laughing when he poked my sensitive spot, my stomach.

As my tinkling laugh filled the air Kevin pulled me into his arms and kissed the back of my neck.

"Are you sure your not going to let me help you? Because if you do two simple things you would be kick ass." I sighed and finally let in.

"What do you have in mind?" I giggled as his lips moved against my ear.

"One, loosen up. It's just like driving a real car, it isn't hard and harsh turns but gentle and soft ones. And two, drive a little faster, I think a granny could walk faster than you were driving."

"Okay I can drive faster but the control is a little bit more challenging, it's hard to move something slowly when it's not connected to something solid." Kevin sat for a moment in thought and then had an idea.

"I'll help you with that." As he said that he told me to grab hold of the wheel, after I did he placed his calloused hands on top of mine. I could feel my face flush with heat, having him touch me always made me shiver in pleasure.

"What are you doing?" I whispered as he started the next race.

"I'm going to be your balance and keep you in a straight line, you can do the rest." I thought for a moment and then nodded, it made sense.

When the race started Kevin kept me steady, moving my hands so my cart would speed down the path on line. I smiled as I got to throw blue and red shells at my opponents. I felt Kevin's laugh vibrate through my small body as I punched away my opponents.

When I was entering the last lap I was just passing the person in third place. Kevin coaching me with whispers about what short cuts to take or who to take out. When a blue shell zoomed above my characters head I sped up the cart like crazy, when the shell hit and the person in first flew in the air I sped by.

As I drew near the finish line I saw from the corner of my eye Peach coming in for the kill, little did she know I had a mushroom and I was going to use it. At the last second I engaged the mushroom and zoomed forward like I was shot from a gun.

When I crossed the finish line the race was over and I had received first place. Once it was done Kevin removed his hands and laid back against the head board of my bed. He then placed his arms behind his head.

"See I told you you could win." I then saved the game and turned off the Wii. I crawled over to him and sat with my knees underneath me.

"Okay I admit you were right, but I only won because you helped me." I said as I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger.

"Whatever, the point is you can do it if you put your mind to it. And by the way, I only helped steer you through the first lap, the rest you did by yourself." I stared at him in amazement.

"I did?" He chuckled at me and nodded.

"Yes you did, and I must say your face was priceless. You were intense kicking those mii's butts."

He then gave me a wicked stare and enveloped me in his arms.

"Well if I'm that good maybe I can kick your butt." I giggled as he put his head in the crook of my neck.

"Is that a challenge Gwen?" I giggled as he kissed me, his lips vibrating against my neck.

"Oh defiantly." He laughed once and set up his controller. After a few days of practice I got pretty good at racing. When Ben and Kevin came over to play against each other next week I played as well.

I beat both of them half the time, at the end of the day Kevin stopped Ben at the door.

"Hey Tennyson where's my ten bucks." I saw Ben's face grimace and him reach into his pocket and pull out a ten spot.

"Here." He spat and left the house. Kevin's face was funny, it was glowing with triumph.

"What was that about?" I asked as he was about to leave. He stopped walking and turned to give me a smile.

"Ben and I had a deal on wether or not I could get you to play Mario Kart, I won so he gave me ten bucks." I went up and swatted him and shook my head.

"That's not very nice Kevin, you could have let me in on it."

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Oh and by the way, where's my cut?" Kevin stopped, looked at me and then sighed.

"Fine." He reached into his wallet and pulled out a five and handed it to me. He then walked out the door and was at his car when I stopped him.

"Next time Kevin, I won't go easy." And right before my door closed Kevin's face went from happy to confused and startled. You just wait Kevin, I'll beat you every time next week.

And with that I went upstairs and practiced Mario Kart once again. They're both going down.

Writing this chapter was so much fun, I made Gwen play both of the boys for suckers. Oh well, it just goes to show you can con the con man. So this chapter was about Mario Kart, but if you have any ideas about a game to use, feel free to let me know. And as always if you have any comments, suggestions, or even negative remarks let me know. :)
