"You have got to be kidding me!" He says.

I laughed as I watch him take off his shirt and now he's left alone with his white boxers while I'm still on my blue Sunday dress. I watch him as he push his hair back, god he's so handsome.

God I could see his crotch as the wet thin clothing sticks to it.

"Staring at my crotch?" He teased.

I rolled my eyes at him and smiled away.

It was still raining and we're still playing this game. It's fun though and I love how he strips in front of me.

"Why are you so good at this?" He groans while smirking.

"Now you see I'm not the girly girl."

"Well yeah but I seriously can't wait until you miss a shot then you'll get to take off that dress." He grins.

"Perv." I smirked.

"A handsome perv."

I tried to suppress my smile. "Well the ball's still in my hand though so... Lay-up."

I ran to the ring while dribbling, grasping the ball with my two hands. I leaped from below, raising the ball in front of my face with one hand and bank it into the basket.

"Yes!" I chimed.

"And the crowd screams!" I whisperingly yell as I imitate a cheering crowd.

Nick laughs.

"You're 6'4 and yet you suck at basketball. Like seriously Nick." I teased with a soft chuckle.

Nick stares at me with a half smirk. "Hey, nobody's perfect."

I smiled in agreement

It was Nick's turn, he dribbles and did the exact same thing and he was successful about it too. "My turn." He says proudly, grasping the ball on his hand.

"Dunk." He says.

I gaped. "No fair. I can't dunk."

"We're playing basketball, aren't we?"

I squinted my eyes at him as I cross my arms together. "Oh how bad can it be. I know I can do it."

"Good luck shorty." He teases me and then laughs.

Nick starts dribbling the ball, crossing it in between his legs with a smile on his face. He starts running then jumps up so high enough while he leaps, lifts the ball above the rim and throws it through the net. "And Wilde scores!" He yells.

I laughed as I dramatically clapped.

"Good. Good." I say.

"You saw that? I was flying. Now that's what we call a dunk." He boasts.

I steal the ball from him as I stood right across the ring. Shit, I don't know if I can jump high like Nick and I don't think my hands aren't that big enough to control the ball. I did the exact same thing that Nick did, I jumped as high as I could.

He bursted in laughter.

I failed.
