The Girl Who Wants to Kick His Butt in Mario Kart

All he could think about all day was coming home to her.  The work in front of him was just a blur, moving at a pace that he assumed was getting itself all done.  He filed every folder and retrieved every request and with every task he completed he would look up at the clock to see just how much closer he was to seeing her.  The plan for the night was a game night and he let her choose what the battle would be and true to her word, she chose Mario Kart.  This was a game of fierce competition as he had done his best to have some skill with the game but she was quickly catching up to him and providing quite the challenge.  Tonight would be no different and his excitement was rising.  Over where she was employed, she was funnily enough doing the same thing except with one exception.  As she worked she was developing strategies in her head of who she was going to choose and what precise trash talk she would unleash on him to trip him up.  She wasn't below playing dirty and had on a past occasion used her body to sneak out a win at the last moment.  The sun was on their side and almost as if affected by will, the clocks struck quitting time and they both ran to their cars as if they were late for the Nobel Peace Prize.  As he drove down the road, his phone dinged the all too familiar text message noise and he looked down to see the lit up screen displaying his favorite name.  Megels.  Carefully he took a glance at the message and all it said was three words that ignited an adrenaline boost that he wasn't aware he was storing. 
You're going down.
Those three words triggered a smile on his face with a look of develish happiness.  She thinks she can take me down?  Well, she has another thing coming!  A few streets away she was smiling on her own knowing exactly how her message was going to drive him crazy.  There was something incredibly attractive and kind of hot about the playful nature of talking trash with someone you loved before and during gameplay.  Unfortunately for her, he was closer and was able to arrive home before she could.  But in her favor, he always made sure he took the dog out for a short walk so he could do his business and get some exercise in.  This was proven true as she pulled into the lot and parked and saw the two of them walking around the corner. When she exited her car she made it a point to be seen as quickly as possible and when their eyes met it was like someone shouted 'Let's get ready to rumbleeeee'.
He took off with the dog in tow and all three of them ran to the door and jumped inside, each one stripping out of their work clothes and into their comfy evening wear.  She cleverly used this as a beginning distraction to put some seeds in his head that she could pull out later, making sure she took her bra off in front of him and felt herself up a little.  She knew it was making him a little hard and directing his thoughts towards sex with her.  She smiled and ran to the living room where the game console was housed.  She couldn't help but giggle and he ran after her, holding her and kissing her all over.
"Oh no you don't, no booty for you until I kick your ass in Mario Kart."
"You really believe you'll win don't you?"
"I don't have to believe, I know I'll win."
He booted up the console and the familiar voice of Mario shouted into their little apartment.  Mario Kart 8 woohoo!  He excitedly yelled.  She took up her controller and sat right next to the love of her life.  Their arms touched and rubbed, an instant reminder of the day she started to fall for him, back when he invited her over and showed her his art and their arms touched then.  Her focus was starting to drift now as well.  Curse him for making her fall for him so hard.  The character select screen was in front of them and they chose their favorite characters.  He almost always chose Luigi and she usually went with Yoshi but today it was a big battle and wanted it to mean something so she chose Mario.  The plumber brothers were now at odds and this was going to be the battle to prove with sibling was the better game brother.
"Kiss for good luck sweetness?"
"I'll never say no to that."
They kissed and kissed and almost forgot the game before the starting race noise rang around their ears. Both jumped up, controllers in hand and their racers took off down the track with dirt kicked up behind each kart.  The colorful world of the Mushroom Kingdom blew by around them and they tried their hardest to run into every question block to get the best item.  He had bad luck first getting a banana but she got a red shell, the perfect weapon.  She wasted no time and launched it at him full speed.  His kart crashed and bounced around while she raced by him, giggling and laughing.
"Oh man, looks like you aren't doing so well dew drop."
"It may look like that now but just you wait."
"Yeah, okay sure."
He reached over and tried to mess with her controller making her hit a wall and almost lose control of her lead.  She had to sit sideways now and angled her elbow between his legs trying to rub him.
"Stop, you're gonna make me crash!"
"That's the idea darlin!"
The final lap bell rang and this was it, the lap to decide who was going to be king or queen of Mario Kart.  They were fully focused and taking sly glances at the other one's screen to see where they were.
"So close, I'm going to win this!"
"Don't get cocky mister, I'm right behind you."
"Yeah yeah, unless you get some crazy rocket boost, I'm winning this!"
They turned around a corner and under a bridge, the mario brothers staring at one another collecting coins.  They both ran through question blocks and then it was decided.
He was given a coin.
She was given a blue shell.
"Nooooooo!"
With a huge smile she pressed the button to launch the shell at his steadily racing Luigi.
"Sorry darlin, but Megels wins Mario Kart today."
The shell came in slow motion and Edward could see his life flash before his eyes and then the crash happened.  Luigi looked surprised and upset as Mario sped past him across the finish line.  Controllers were thrown down and Megels was smiling wide.
"So, what's my prize mister can't be beat?"
He thought for a moment and then took up her hands.
"Whatever you want babe.  First a kiss, then another, then the rest of you."
"I like this prize."
"Wait until you get the rest of it."
They kissed and rubbed hands completely in love as the game played on, a playful soundtrack to the rest of their night showing each other just how much they loved the other.  But it wouldn't be the last time that Megels would challenge him, she loved to kick his ass at that game and the trash talk made it all the better.  But, he believed that the prize she would win was what she wanted most.
