The Jerk and a Half c.h

Chapter 6

*Calum's POV*

"YOU! GET IN THERE AND GET A BLOODY NUMBER ON YOUR ARM AND LEG!"
The trials had begun and it was good to be smelling the sweat and hearing the squeak of shoes on the floor again. Luke, Ellie and I walked cautiously over to the table, put our names down and got my numbers on our leg and arm. I was starting to get really excited.

"ALRIGHT! EVERYBODY GRAB A BALL AND WARM UP YOUR ON YOUR OWN FOR THIS PART. NOW GO!" The coach yelled. I went a picked up a ball, Ellie ran up beside me.

"Oi, come be my defence for a sec." Ellie bent over picking up a ball. I subconsciously checked her out. I couldn't help it. How could someone make basketball shorts look so fucking hot? Before in the change rooms, when Ellie's shirt got stuck, I was blown away. Like I knew she was fit but. This was a while different story. Those school uniforms didn't give off much. In actual fact, Ellie had the best body. It wasn't a flimsy model, skinny as hell arms and legs, body. She was strong. Ellie had tone legs and arms and when she pulled up her shirt, her abs were well and truly there. It was hot. She had beautiful curves, I wasn't going to lie but seeing more of her made me realise how unique she was to all the other girls I had gone after before. She was beautiful in a new way. A way I was starting to like more than the other way I previously thought was beautiful. She had this hold on me that I couldn't describe.

"Hey you done staring at my ass?" Ellie stood up on hand on her hip the other holding a ball staring into my eyes. She had the most beautiful Atlantic blue eyes.

"Uhhh.." I could feel my cheeks growing hot.

"Oh come on don't worry about it, I know how you feel." She patted me on the arm sympathetically. " A lot of people can't resist the urge to look at my sexy ass." She made an exaggerated wink.

"Yeah righto I'm coming." I laughed. I was still embarrassed she had caught me looking. Whoops.
Ellie started dribbling up the court and picking up a ball, I followed her. She had fantastic ball handling skills and dribbled it as if it was second nature to her. I reminded myself that it probably was. At just after half court she started sprinting towards the hoop and in one fluid movement she had preformed a perfect layup and put the ball through the hoop. I copied her and also put the ball up.

"Ok wanna be my defence as I try and layup?"Ellie asked.

"Yeah ok, can we swap roles after school one?" I replied.

"Yup, Alright now don't go easy I mean it." She looked sternly up at me.

"Yes ma'am!" I yelled. She laughed as she turned to go back up to half court. I took my position just in front of the right elbow. She was right handed so if u caught her just before she could take her two steps I might be able grab the ball off her and take off back to half court. She took her run up and just as she reached me I blocked her. But she pushed past. As she took her to steps and went to put her hand up to shoot, I jumped and swept my hand out over the ball preventing her from putting it up any further but she was ready for this. In a split second she threw the ball to her other hand, curving her body away from my hand, and putting the ball, unbelievably, through the hoop.

"Shit Ellie, your good!" I said in disbelief.

"Um, thanks." She laughed. "Wanna swap?"

"Yeah sounds good." Secretly I was hoping she was a bad defence. After a bit more practise she had proven me wrong. Very wrong. If I hadn't been trained against difficult defence like her before, I would never have gotten past her. She may be small compared to me but she could pack a hell of a screen. She almost knocked me over the first time she did it. We finished warming up just in time for the coach to commence the trials.

"Ready?" Ellie asked me almost jumping up and down.

"Let's do this babe." I smiled. She slapped me on the arm but smiled broadly to herself.
