to the end zone and blasted
forward. Robin and Bo ran past me
with their long legs and tapped them
down at the five-yard line.
Tiffany lined up with the ball and
Lisa and Karen split off as receivers.
“Ready…Set……. Hut!”
Tiffany tossed the ball to Kris and I
tapped her down for a loss of two
yards.
“You jumped early!” Kris called
out.
I called back. “Oh bullshit. You’re
a sorry loser on everything!”
She threw her hands up and smiled
because she knew I was telling the
truth.
Their team moved back to the
three-yard line and Tiffany took the
ball again. “Ready…Set……Hut,
hut!” She broke back and tossed a
bomb that I was even impressed by.
Bo leaped over Karen and snatched
in in midair and ran it back for a
touchdown. “Seven to ZERO!” He
spiked the ball down.
Karen put her arms up. “What the
fuck, how the hell am I supposed to
get the jump on a tower?”
I was laughing. “Guess y’all better
start making up some better plays.”
Tiffany brought the ball out to the
twenty-yard line and waited for me to
kick it again.
I held my right arm up letting them
know that I was about to kick and ran
at it and kicked it to the twenty-fiveyard line, but I slipped on a bit of
snow and fell to the ground.
Lisa caught it and started running.
She started dodging everyone. Gizmo
got one hand on her and I was trying
me best to get up to tag her the second
time, but she blew passed me.
She spiked the ball down. “Seven
to Seven, Biotch!”
They walked the field and we stood
there waiting on them to figure out
who was going to kick the ball.
Finally, Bobbi lined up with the
ball and booted it to our thirty-yard
line. Bo caught it and started running.
Once the women got closer he tossed
the ball back to Daltin and he started
running down the boundary line and
into the end zone.
He spun the ball on the ground.
“Fourteen to seven!”
We walked the field. I started
running fast towards the ball and their
team started backing up and I kicked
the top of the ball to do an onside
kick.
We recovered it before they could
move back forward.
Lisa ran over and tagged me down.
“You call that a kick?”
Howard ran over and walked it out.
“It went over the twenty yards.”
“Well of course you’re going to
side with them!” Bobbi let him know.
We lined up. “Ready…Set….Hut!”
Tiffany tossed the ball behind her
to me and I started running across the
side. Once everyone started coming
for me, I threw a bomb to Robin in
the end zone.
I jumped up. “Twenty-one to
seven!”
We started walking the field and
could see Bo staying behind and
talking to Lisa.
“Bo, no fraternizing with the other
team.” I called out.
The snow started coming in thick.
Daltin started shivering.
I walked up to him while waiting
for Bo. “You okay?”
He shivered again. “It’s getting
cold, dad.”
I looked over to everyone else.
“Y’all want to pause this game and
come back to it later?”
“Oh, someone’s getting scared of
this ass whooping that’s about to
happen.” Bobbi stated.
I started laughing. “No, Daltin is
shivering and I don’t want him to get
sick.”
They all started walking up. “Yeah,
it’s getting pretty cold.”
Tiffany looked up. “I bet it’s going
to be hard to get out by tomorrow.”
I looked up and looked around to
see how much more snow lied on the
ground. “Yeah, I’m sure we’ll wake
up to a pretty good blanket. I don’t
suggest it’ll get too bad though, it
never does in Texas.”
We all walked over to the cafeteria
to see if we could get some soup and
crackers from Milissa. I could see
Bobbi standing out by the storage
building.
I stopped. “Bobbi!”
Bobbi came running over with her
jacket pulled tight around her. “Yes,
sir?”
I put my hand on the top of her
back and led her to the cafeteria.
“We’re not doing anything today hun,
no point in sitting out there freezing
