The Final Penalty

“Now, this is the big one,” said Holly, “This is for the holiday itself, Option 1: Your tickets, which I have right here go into THE DESTROYER, so your team will be going without you and you can stay home with the missus. Option 2: You keep your tickets and when you return from Holiday Gemma will do all the washing, drying and Ironing not only of your luggage but the rest of your group and will be in charge of washing all the dirty, sweaty, smelly football kits for the entire team for the next season. Finally Option 3: You keep your tickets and we add a few more, so that after your 2 weeks with the boys is over, you get to stay on for a further week and are joined by your wife Gemma. Now you know the rules in order to make the choice you must score the goal.”

Gemma knew coming on the show that the likely outcome would be winning a holiday for her and Paul and strongly suspected that Paul would go for the extra holiday anyway, so this time when Paul took a shot, she didn’t move and stay stood exactly where she was. What she didn’t expect was Paul hitting the ball straight down the middle, hitting her and the ball bouncing safely away. She finally saved one albeit by accident, as Paul suddenly looked terrified.

“Someone failed at the climax, is that a common problem for you Paul?” quipped Holly, “So Gemma the ball is totally in your court, pun intended, you brought Paul on here for your relationship, you’ve been stripped to your underwear covered in mud & beer, whilst Paul has had a tattoo as well as the dream pass to a strip club, but it’s down to you now. What do you want to happen. Options 1, 2 or 3?”

“Honey” said Gemma to Paul arms opened wide, “you’d better buy me a new bikini I’m joining you in Spain. Option 3”

Paul ran into the mud into Gemma arms and kissed her passionately as Gemma pulled Paul down into the mud, covering his once smart trousers & shoes. The camera lingered on them for a few seconds before cutting back to Holly.

“Well that’s one relationship saved, and it’s time for another break.
