Friendly Competition?
I coughed and glared up at Petey. We worked on the sunset flip for a while. That was fine but for the past hour we'd been trying to do the Canadian Destroyer. Trying is the keyword. He didn't do it to me because he didn't think that it would help at all. For the third time I ended up on my back with Petey sitting on me. He was being extremely patient.
"Are yougoing to do it right this time?" He asked.
"But this is much more fun," I said sarcastically.
I pushed him off and retied my hair into a ponytail. I had on red gym pants and I tore off my T-shirt and straightened out the tank top I had on underneath.
Petey gestured for Eric to get in the ring. He set poor Eric up for the Destroyer and I watched closely. He hit it perfectly.
I set Petey up for it again and this time crashed hard on my shoulders. I jumped up rubbing the back of my neck swearing.
"This friggin hurts too much! Just do the damn move to me already!"
He just patiently shook his head and I could have strangled him for it. I jerked him back towards me, set him up and started my jump. I landed on my tailbone and Petey fell down on his head. I did it! I fell back but sat back up to look at Petey who was sprawled on the ground.
"It really does hurt."
I burst out laughing and helped him up.
I threw my head back again. I didn't feel like going home so I ended up in a major Monopoly tournament against Petey. We both sat at the small table in his kitchen. I was losing pretty badly. It had to be a record because he beat me three times already and it took him less than half an hour per game.
"You know I didn't think that it was possible to suck as much as you do," he said after my fourth loss.
"I wouldn't be losing so much if it wasn't so boring," I said.
"Fine, you want to make this more interesting?"
I cocked an eyebrow at him. "I'm listening."
"How does Strip Monopoly sound to you?"
It took less than five minutes for Petey to stop smiling and begin shifting. His shoes and socks were gone and my pile of land kept growing.
"Why are you winning?"
I shrugged and gave him the smirk he usually has.
"It got interesting. Now lose the shirt."
He peeled off his T-shirt and tossed it. I don't know what the big deal was. He walked around all the time with his shirts wide open and as a wrestler the clothing wasn't exactly modest. He folded his arms across his smooth, muscled chest.
"Aww…do you feel exposed?" I teased him.
He sniffed and looked away. "I feel so cheap."
I started laughing as I rolled the dice once again missing his land. Then he landed on my property with a house. He didn't have any money left at all so he pulled off his pants and tossed them. All he was left with were his boxers.
On my next turn I landed on one of his properties. It was an expensive piece of land so I took my shoes and socks off. He passed go and was able to pay for the next piece of land of mine he wound up on. I landed on another piece of his land and slowly took off my shirt.
I was beginning to feel the intensity of the game now that I was left in pants and a little white tank top.
I rolled the dice and landed on my own land. Petey rolled and it was like slow motion as he moved his little car towards my most expensive piece of land. I jumped up and started laughing at him when he stopped right on it.
"I win! I win!"
Petey watched me do my victory dance around the room.
