It Begins

Andrew walked over to the table where we were holding our arm-wrestling matches. He staggered over into the chair and with some effort put his large right arm on the table in front of him. "Alright bitch let's get this over with," he managed to slur out. The ball was now in Kelsey's court.

"No, we are not arm wrestling," she started.

"Already backing out like the pussy you are?" He practically screamed that out, so loud that we were worried he would wake up the rest of the family. Luckily none of them came out to check what was happening.

"You didn't let me finish," she said, annoyed. "We're not arm wrestling, we're wrestling for real. I'm done with these fake tests of brute strength. I've already proven I'm the strongest of everyone here, now I want to prove I'm the best."

We were all shocked at her attitude. Sure she had just beaten three much older and bigger guys, but she had definitely used her feminine wiles to defeat them. And Andrew was not just 'another guy'. She was digging herself deeper and deeper into a hole that she could not get out of.

"You must be out of your mind, but if I need to kick your ass in a fight to shut you up, then so be it." Kelsey had a wide smirk on her face as she heard this, as if she had no doubt she would be able to defeat him.

It turned out she had a plan. Using her brain, something she knew Andrew could not do, she figured out that him being drunk didn't inhibit his strength much. In fact the higher pain tolerance would've probably carried him even farther. However, what was affected was stuff like balance, strategic thinking, and reflexes. Things that weren't necessary in arm wrestling but were vital in a fight. She knew that he was toast as soon as he agreed to this.

And he was starting to prove her right as h staggered across the room to an area with some space where they could spar. She followed him, taking off her slippers and leaving them behind. She stood in front of her hulking beast of a relative, being almost a foot shorter and almost half his weight. In any other scenario she would stand no chance, but here and now her victory was assured.

It didn't seem like that to Andrew though. As soon as she was within distance he wasted no time in running straight at her with a takedown attempt, throwing all caution to the wind as he went for an out and out brawl. Kelsey, thinking quickly just ducked out the way, leaving her opponent to turn around quickly causing him to almost lose his balance and fall over before his hand rested on the wall behind him, steadying him in place.

"Someone looks tired already. You could just forfeit now and save yourself the trouble."

This only angered him and instead of taking the valuable resting time he was given, Andrew charged again. Predictably, he missed again as Kelsey moved away once more. Undeterred, he charged again like a freight train, catching nothing but air as his hands barely stopped his momentum before he was able to run headfirst into the wall behind him. She was toying with him at this point.
