Mel and Drass v. Nick and Amelia

Walking out into the warm late spring night the group set about arranging the cups and finding the ping pong balls that had been strew about the trashed porch. Drass ran inside to grab some water to fill up the cups leaving Mel outside with Nick and Amelia.

“I suppose you two want to be a team?” Mel joked.

“I guess...” Amelia said eyeing her boyfriend with mock disgust. Mel had to admit they made a cute couple, but in that moment her jealousy roared inside her so much that she turned her back to them as they kissed lightly pretending she was picking up some trash. Soon after Drass returned with water and both teams filled their cups.

“Eye to eye?” Mel asked holding a ball out for the other team.

“Naw you guys go first. Call it a home field advantage.” Nick said with a wave.

“We’ll see if you regret that decision when we naked lap you both without even letting you throw a shot.” Mel shot back across the table at Nick as she fired her shot which much to her chagrin bounce of the rim of the cup in the back and into Nicks arms.

“Well looks like we will at least get one chance to shoot.” Nick said with a smirk. Drass fired her shot next directly into the front of the 6 cups. Mel and her drunk friend immediately shared a high five as both Nick and Amelia took swigs from their drinks and readied for their turn.

Nick’s shot found the cup in the back center and while Drass pulled the cup and Mel took a drink Amelia seized an opportunity and bounced her ball into the front cup. “That’s two!” Nick yelled as Mel groaned. “And balls back thank you.”

This time Amelia missed long but Nick was successful in putting the ball into the pair of cups still touching. “Heating up!” He called as it was his and Amelia’s turn to high five. Both Drass and Mel narrowly missed their shots setting up Amelia to miss her next shot that followed. Nick’s shot went directly into the solo cup in front of Mel. “Shit! I shoulda called island!” He said.

“Yeah but you didn’t.” Drass said with a shrug.

“Either way that’s fire gimme that.” Nick said gesturing for the ball that Mel tossed back to him. Fortunately this one missed and Drass and Mel composed themselves for their next turn. Dress managed to hit another cup, in the back row this time, while Mel’s shot went long again.

“You know if I do recall correctly you have yet to make one right Mel?” Amelia taunted.

“Yeah yeah. I will don’t you worry.” Mel had no problem doing a naked lap. She’d done them before. But it was the thought of getting naked lapped by Amelia and Nick at her own house that had her on edge.

“What do you think a colon?” Nick asked Amelia who nodded, “Can we get a colon please?” No sooner had Drass moved her hands away from the rearranged cups than Nick had fires the ball into the back of the two. Amelia lined up her shot as both Mel and Drass moved their hands out and over the cup in an attempt to distract her to no avail. The couple jumped up and down high fiveing and cheering.

“Relax we still get redemption.” Mel said with more than enough nerves in her voice. For her it wasn’t about trying to catch back up. It was just about making this next shot.

It was now the dark haired beauty and the handsome hunks turn at the distractions waving their arms and dancing sillily on their side of the table. It worked as Drass bounced her shot wide. She simply stepped aside and let Mel have full view of the table to line up her redemption shot.
