Hello, again a little stupid idea from me. This one came to me after watching "Seven seconds" as Derek and Reid tried to talk to the cousin of the victim and Derek asked what games are popular at the moment and Reid seems to know that game. If there is anybody who doesn´t know that game, take a try on youtube there are a lot of videos about it. And now have fun and don´t forget to review ;-)
Spencer and Emily were sitting in front of his TV and looked very intense both holding a Xbox controller in their hands. A triumphant smile played across Spencer's face as he put down the controller.
"That's unfair. You've had a lot of practice with this game. And why did we play this one?"
Emily pouted because she lost her thirteenth match of "Dead or Alive" against Spencer.
"Because you wanted to know what I do to compensate for the things we see at work. That's my way of decompressing, playing fighting games on the Xbox."
He was still smiling because of his victory.
"Ok ok, I give up. But you really have the advantage plus it's a very hard game."
"I know that's why I like it."
"I thought you liked it because of the clothes the female characters wore."
She needed to tease him to feel better and less stupid about losing.
"No, not really it's just a coincidence. And if you want to look through my collection of games you will see there are more than just fighting games, there are also puzzle games and role-play games."
Smiling she dived into his collection.
"Don't forget honey, you allowed it."
While Emily was looking through the games Spencer went to his kitchen and made some fresh coffee. As he came back he nearly fell to the floor because she was standing in front of the couch and hold a game he thought she never would find. With trembling hands he put down the coffee.
"Spencer can you explain this one to me, please?"
The way she sounded didn't bode well for him. Slowly he took the game from her and put the CD into the Xbox.
"It's a kind of continuance of Dead or Alive 4, what we played before."
"A continuance including only the female characters in very little bikinis?"
The opening played in the background and Spencer wasn't sure if this wouldn't make things worse. The glance Emily gave the TV didn't showed clear if she was upset or amused by this.
"Uhm, Emily, are you angry with me about this game? I swear I'll throw it in the trash if you don't like it."
She didn't answer and still watched the sequences showing single moments of the game. Spencer opened his mouth to say something to calm her down just to be sure she wouldn't punch him but his stomach started to growl. Like this was an unknown signal Emily burst out laughing. Puzzled and hungry he looked at her.
"Oh honey, you really thought I was angry? Oh god, I can't believe it. See, I would be suspicious if you didn't have something like this. I mean since I haven't found a collection of Playboys or anything else. I really started to wonder."
"You think this is funny?"
"In a weird way yes. And now I think you should go and get some food before you starve."
Spencer still couldn't believe Emily tricked him and needed a few seconds till it sunk in that he was still hungry. Again he smiled.
"Okay I have a suggestion. I go and get some pizza for us and you have time to practice Dead or Alive 4. After we have eaten we'll see if you've gotten any better."
"That sounds good. And Spencer?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't forget the extra cheese."
It took nearly an hour till Spencer came back with the fresh made pizza. He saw Emily who was so involved in her practicing that she didn't noticed him entering his apartment. She finally reacted when Spencer stepped closer and held her pizza under her nose so she could smell it. It was fun to see how she tried to pay attention to the game while he was waving with pizza under her nose. After an inner fight she gave up.
"You are mean."
"I know, but I need to keep my advantage."
Smiling he gave her the pizza and they settled in the kitchen.
"I think you are going to loose your advantage. I got a lot better in the last hour."
"We'll see how good you became."
"Don't say you think I am bad at it because I am a woman."
She just couldn't help herself from teasing him as often as possible.
"I just think you will need more practice till you can beat me."
Even if he didn't want to admit it Emily had actually became better with every single match and the last two were hard for him to win. He didn't want to think about how good she became after an hour of single playing.
"Ok then let's bet."
"What are the stakes?"
"I'll let you decide."
Spencer thought about the stakes for about a minute. With an innocent smile he addressed Emily.
"I have it."
"What did you came up with?"
"The loser has to be submissive for the rest of the weekend."
"You are pretty sure you are going to win, huh?"
"For good reason."
Emily tried to stare him down. She knew he wasn't as confident about wining as he said.
"The person who wins 15 rounds is the winner."
Spencer calculated how long this would take and where this would lead. He suppressed a sigh and nodded in agreement. Emily finished her meal in a hurry and rushed over to the TV. He followed having a strange feeling of facing his death sentence.
It was a hard and long way to winning but finally after a lot of double ko's and a raising aggressions towards the controller on both sides Emily won her 15th match against Spencer. She jumped for joy like a little kid while Spencer's mind was creating a couple of unpleasant scenarios that would probably come next.
"So sweetheart, you are mine till Monday morning."
He sighed unhappily.
"I guess so."
"Hey, you brought this on yourself, don't moan."
Spencer switched off TV and Xbox and stood up to face Emily.
"Have you anything in mind what I shall do for you first?"
She thought about it for a moment tapping with her finger on her lips. A small giggle escaped her.
"I still have some aggressions to work out, you know?"
First he didn't understand but when she looked towards his bedroom he understood what kind of work out she meant. He smiled impishly.
"I think you need to work them out immediately and I am pleased to help."
