The Player and the Nobody

Chapter 34: The First Date Goes Well?

§The First Date Goes Well?§

~MAGGIE'S POV~

"YES! I got a strike!" He rolls his eyes.

"It's was the wind." He pushes me playfully and I laugh.

"Yeah. The wind. Sure. Whatever keeps your mind off the fact that I'm kicking your ass right now!" I stick my tongue out at him and he chuckles.

"I'm gonna make it my mission to destroy you now." He grabs his ball and walks up to the lane. He swings his arm and gets a strike.

"It was a lucky throw." I grab my ball and get ready to toss it but he kicks my arm up and the balls flings out of my control and into the gutter, "You're such a cheater!"

He smirks and shrugs, "Oops?"

I glare at him and he chuckles, "No more cheating..."

I grab my ball again as it comes out of the machine and roll it getting only one pin down, "Oh well. Now look who is winning."

I roll my eyes, "Cheaters never win."

He shrugs, "Says who?"

He grabs his ball and gets ready to roll it down the lane, "Me." I jump on his back and wrap my legs around him while covering his eyes. He throws the ball blindly and gets a split, "See I told you."

I smile cheekily at him and he pouts, "No fair..." He crosses his arms and I laugh.

"Awe. Is the poor baby gonna go home crying to mommy?" I tease him and pinch his cheeks. He toughens up and pulls me off his back so I'm hanging upside down looking at the lanes, "Oh my god! Derek! Put me down!"

"Be careful what you wish for." He loosens his grip on me and I squeal and wrap my arms around his torso.

"Derek... I'm gonna kill you." He chuckles and sits me down on the bench, "I'd like to see you try."

After my face turns back to its normal color, I stand up and slap him repeatedly, "You could've hurt me!"

He grabs my hands to stop my assaults, "But I didn't. So you're welcome." I sigh after struggling against his grip and failing.

"Let me go cheater." He chuckles and shakes his head.

"Though I might be convinced..." He smirks and I roll my eyes.

"You don't deserve it..." He pulls me into him, giving me puppy dog eyes.

I smile, "Stop it. It won't work..." He wraps his arms around my waist and lowers his face in front of mine. His hot breath fans across my face as the smell of cool mint fills my nostrils. Slowly I inch my hands up his chest and around his neck, "You affect me too much." He smiles and I pull his head down and kiss him. Derek grunts and I pull away looking at him as he narrows his eyes, "Are you okay?"

He turns around with a death glare and scans the crowd of people, "Who the hell threw a shoe at the back of my head?"

I scrunch up my face and look with him only to find a smirking Karla, "I have an idea of who did it." I roll my eyes and decide to ignore her. This was Derek and my first date and I'm not gonna let a spoiled brat ruin it, "But it doesn't matter."

He sighs, kisses my nose, and grabs the ball, "Who's turn is it?"

I shrug, "I don't remember."

"Then we should go together." He hands me my ball and I tilt my head at him confused.

"What? How?" He chuckles.

"On the count of three we both roll our ball and the one that gets the most pins down, gets the points." He walks up to the lane and I nod.
