“Well, that was better,” Shelly said.
“It was much better,” I replied. “That’s great. Now the next step is that you want to aim for the center pin and the pin to the left or the right of it. You never want to hit it dead on or you will very likely leave a split like this one.”
“Ah, ok,” Shelly said.
“Take a crack at the split and see if you can hit those two on the end. You most likely won’t slide the inner pin over to hit the other pin. That’s a very tough move for even a pro to pull off. And you might be tempted to move to the side in front of it, but all your shots should be released from the center of the lane. That way you have all the boards to work with.”
Shelly rolled the ball down the lane and nailed those two pins, leaving one remaining. When the balls were set back up, I proceeded with the lesson.
“Ok, now have you ever hooked the ball before?” I asked.
“You mean like the pros? I’ve always wanted to try that. There has to be some crazy trick to it, right?”
I nodded. “There is, but it takes practice.”
“Can you show me?” Shelly asked.
I loved hearing the way she asked a question so innocently, but it made me feel like she was insinuating something else. I leaned in closer to her so I could demonstrate this properly.
“Sure,” I said. “Here, what you want to do is hold the ball this way.”
I positioned her hands so
that her wrist was straight and her other hand was on top of the ball. “You want to put your fingers in the hole just up to the knuckle so that the ball can slip quickly off your fingers and then the spin will take over and start creating the hook.”
My hand was grazing against hers as I showed her the way. I loved touching her, even a small innocent touch such as this had so many layers and levels of innuendo to it. I couldn’t help but feel so attracted to her that I thought I was going to split in two at any moment. I could feel the sweat dripping down my back and I was tempted to wipe my brow, but that would have only displayed to her that I was a bit nervous and I did not want to give her any inclination that I was having these romantic thoughts about her.
I smiled at her and then looked back down at the ball. “Now, when you release the ball, you want to bring the ball straight back and as your foot steps down in front of you, then you shift your weight and create that momentum. As you bring your arm forward you turn your hand over partway with a sharp twist on the ball as you release it. And you release the ball from a higher place than normal. This gives it a strong placement as it hits the lane and starts its journey. Now, you give it a go.”
Shelly did as I had instructed her and her form looked perfect. As she bent down and began to roll, my eyes automatically dropped to her backside. She had the most magnificent ass I’d ever seen. It was tight and on full display in her tight, dark blue jeans. I couldn’t stop staring at it. But I quickly became aware I was staring at it and forced my eyes to move upwards. This was so hard. Why couldn’t I make my feelings known to her? This policy was idiotic. It harmed more than it helped.
I watched as her ball rolled down the lane and then curved hard at the last moment and hit just a bit past where she was aiming. She knocked down eight pins. Shelly jumped up cheering for herself. “Alright, that was great. I felt it actually spinning off my hand differently.”
“That’s the thing,” I said. “It just takes practice until you feel it going the right way. Then you really have to trust that it will happen the way you feel it should. That’s part of it, really just believe in it.”
“I like that,” Shelly said. “You are a great teacher.”
Shelly tried another roll and picked up her spare. She was starting to get into the groove of it now and having a blast. I enjoyed seeing her having so much fun now. This was so sweet, just being there with an amazing woman and having a great time. It had been a long time since this had happened, but after my last relationship ended, I found myself just really needing time and space to reevaluate what I wanted in life and in a partner. And now I thought I’d found it in Shelly.
But I could do nothing about it. Hell, if I even hinted my interest in her then I would have been leaving myself wide open for making Shelly feel uncomfortable with this policy looming over our heads. She had just started working with us and this was the type of stress she probably was not looking for.
“Great job,” I said.
Shelly grabbed her ball with a wide smile. She looked back at me and I thought I saw something in her eyes that displayed her true feelings for me. A look of glee mixed with attraction that caught my gaze for a few moments before finally disappearing back into a normal, happy expression. There was no denying it that time. I could feel that spark happening. Shelly was attracted to me like I was attracted to her. I could just feel it happening.
Shelly approached the lane and let another roll go. This time she put a lot of extra power into the spin and it showed from the moment the ball left her fingers. The ball rocketed down the lane and settled into a nice hook before slamming into the pins and sending them all scattering down into a beautiful strike. I loved watching it happen and most of all I loved watching Shelly’s reaction to it.
She leapt up and started cheering for herself. “A strike! Yes!”
“Way to go!” I yelled.
By that time, Shelly had leapt wildly into my arms and was giving me a big hug, pulling me tightly. She was excited as could be about her strike and I couldn’t blame her. It really was quite the beauty. So was she…
Shelly and I locked eyes. Our faces were now very close together. I felt the pull drawing me in to her. I wanted to kiss her so badly. I could smell her sweetness. There was her natural, sweet scent, and on top of that a hint of perfume, but not too much. Her skin was so smooth and soft, complimented by the color in her eyes and the softness of her hair. Everything about her was soft and screamed at me to be close to her. I couldn’t remember ever wanting to kiss someone so badly and being unable to do so.
I pulled back and tried to keep things casual. I wasn’t sure if Shelly had felt the same thing I just had, but if that was the case, she was very good at hiding it. “That was a brilliant shot. I think you’ve got this down. You are quite the fast learner.”
Shelly laughed. “Well, do you think I can offer you some competition?”
