Mini Summary: John and Joss have a little one on one.
Chapter 26 - Basketball
The ball dribbled on the court with a fierceness as John plotted his next move against the petite Joss that was putting up a tough defense. There was a hard look of concentration in her eyes as she carefully watched his movements.
It was a long game with each one scoring after the other person. The next shot to be made would determine the winner. The weather was starting to get cold but he wanted to end the game properly and so did she.
Once he accessed his strategy, John put his plan into motion.
He slowly approached with the ball casually dribbling. Joss put up a hand to offer a defense in response. Turning around, John put his back to her, keeping low to the ground. When he thought that he had found an opening, John went in for the kill. Dipping to the left, he instead went to the right and made a dash for the basket.
Throwing his hand up, John was surprised to have a smaller hand block his shot, knocking the ball to the side. Joss chased it down, grabbing it and taking only a second to position herself before taking the shot. The two of them watched as the ball traveled through the air, hit and spun around the rim before finally going through the net.
Joss gave woot in victory. "Looks like you owe me dinner tonight John."
John smiled at her before shrugging his shoulders, accepting the loss like a man. "Then it looks like we're both winners because I have a new dish I want to show you." Joss returned with an amazing smile of her own as the two of them packed up their belongings and went on their way to John's loft to enjoy the rest of their night.
