Ana POV
I am so pissed off. My own husband didn't even consider me to be his partner in the tournament. He had to have Terry. I decided to show him a lesson. I winked at Elliot to say game on then I upped the stakes.
"Ok winners get a fully paid night out at the Aspen Retreat restaurant. They also get a full day spar treatment and one wish. What do you'll say to that?"
"Ana what wish?" Everyone seemed very interested.
"Anything the winners want. The wish can only last a day."
So they all paired up:
Christian and Terry - Bruno and Jess - Tom and Cary - Kate and Pam - Mia and Tammy - Luke and Alex - Taylor and Bulldog - Jenny and Megan - Jazz and Sarah. They all cracked into laughter because Elliot was left with Gail and me.
"Sorry to disappoint you Elliot but you have to partner up with Gail." Terry smugly says. Making me even more pisses off. I knew Gail did not play. In actual fact she has never even picked up a pool cue.
"Hell no boys I am not playing this game. One of you can forfeit their partners." Gail stated.
"I will be your partner Elliot." I say loud causing the room to still.
"Ana you can't play. You are injured." Christian says.
"I can try. Taylor and Bulldog are playing and they are also injured. In actual fact Taylors arm is worse than mine." The stubborn fool wants to ague.
"Ana I don't think you can play. I suggest you keep score." So Elliot says to me.
"Ana don't stress these pussy's are scared of a little competition. I think we intimidate them." I saw how Christian clenched his jaw in anger and Terry fisted his hands. My boys hate to be challenged.
"Fine have it you'll way. Don't say you'll were not warned. Gail can keep score and Elliot and Ana are a team." Christian bites out. Making me and Elliot laugh.
Everybody POV
All our names were placed in a hat and drawn.
First round went like this. First drawn was Jazz and Sarah against Jenny and Megan. It was a pathetic game but Jenny and Megan won. Next up drawn were Taylor and Bulldog vs. Luke and Alex now that was a close game but Taylor and Bulldog won. Then the winners from both games vs. each other and Taylor and Bulldog came on top.
Second round was drawn Mia and Tammy vs. Kate and Pam. Another sad game, but Kate and Pam won. Then it was Tom and Cary vs. Christian and Terry. That was a good game but Christian and Terry won. Winners vs. Each other and Christian and Terry beat Kate and Pam. That was a very embarrassing game to watch.
Third round was drawn Bruno and Jess vs. Elliot and Ana. A very good match but Elliot and Ana won.
Now the stakes were high. Last 3 teams to play for a winner.
Now we put the 3 winning teams in a hat and drew again. Christian and Terry vs. Taylor and Bulldog and the winner will play Elliot and Ana.
Christian And Terry POV
This came is getting more interesting. We can take these to but we must be careful. They are good players. We did not know that Ana plays pool.
Her and Elliot set this up. We can tell Ana is battling a bit with the pain but she is trying to be strong. Her and Elliot went to sit on the sofas with a coke to relax before the final game. A bet is a bet and we are going to crush them.
Taylor and Bulldog POV
The boss and Terry make a very good team. But with a bit of skill we can beat them. Once again everybody underestimated Ana and she and Elliot seem to be on top. This is a very unpredictable game so we will see. Ana is in a shit load of pain and it's making the boss tense.
Ana and Elliot POV
While the match was going on Ana had to rest her foot and arm. This was the longest game in history but Christian and Terry won. I am not sure we should continue with Ana being in pain. We don't mind the forfeit.
Everybody POV
"Come on you two time to rack up." Terry says. They set up the table. And announce they are ready to play. Ana tries to get up but ended up wincing. So Elliot stands up carries Ana over to the table and says with concern.
"Ana I think we should forfeit? I really don't mind. I do not want you to hurt yourself to prove a point."
"Elliot I will be ok. We can take it slow."
"Are you sure Ana?"
"Yes lets beat these two over confident fools and cash in on some dinner and a spar treatment." "Sounds good Ana lets do it."
The atmosphere in the room was very tense. Nobody was making any smart-ass comments. Christian and Terry are very competitive and aggressive when playing. They were grunting and banging the Cue's making Ana giggle which made them even madder. It was a tough game but of course Elliot and Ana won leaving Christian and Terry with 2 balls still on the table. What made things worse was Ana took the winning shot from an impossible angle and landed it perfectly. Christian and Terry both stormed out causing things in the room to get uncomfortable for everyone. What was once a fun wager turned into war. So Elliot and Megan change the mood by letting us know there wedding is in a month's time. We are all trilled. Mia also announces her and Alex are also getting married next month and Kate says they plan for 2 month time. Pam shocks us by saying they eloped 3 weeks ago because life is too short. And we all laugh. Jenny said they are having there wedding in 5 months time in South Africa 3 weeks before coping together ball. Everybody is celebrating and having a fun time again.
"Elliot please help me up to my room so I can go bath and change then I will come back and we can play some X-Box." Ana asked.
"Sure that sounds good lets go. Well played by the way."
Everyone carried on drinking and having fun.
