CHAPTER 18

They went to a local deli near campus and ordered panini’s and steamy bowls of chicken dumpling soup. The place was bustling and loud. They were still hungry so Jake ordered them each generous slices of turtle pie and ended up eating half of Olivia’s, too. A local paper left at their table had the cinema listings and they browsed it for possible movies to see later that night. However, they were both skeptical there would be time to go to a theater over the weekend. Rolling around naked in bed together was far more enticing than any blockbuster movie.

As they exited the deli, Olivia noticed an arcade across the street. It had been a long time since she had gone to a place like that. “Hey, let’s go over there.” She pointed as she led Jake across the street. The blipping, beeping and buzzing sounds of retro and contemporary games assaulted their senses as soon as they entered.

Olivia scouted for an air hockey table and found one near the center of the expansive layout. Jake fed some money into the token machine while Olivia energetically circled the air hockey table. She was like a little kid again and couldn’t wait to kick his butt at this game. Swaying from side to side in anticipation, she aimed a big grin at Jake. He shook his head at her in disbelief that she could be so excited about air hockey.

A puck snapped into place on Olivia’s side as soon as the air puffed from the tabletop. She moved quickly and caught Jake off guard with a straight shot slamming in her first point without any attempt by him to block it. Now she was really grinning and swinging back and forth, as she slapped another puck on the tabletop. Apparently, Jake decided he would pay a little more attention this time and positioned himself over the table ready for her advance. She started drifting the puck and hit it hard toward his goal but he blocked it this time. He smiled and looked across the table at Olivia with narrowed eyes. Drifting the puck, he took a cut-shot that banked off her back rail. Olivia responded quickly with a chase-shot that banked to the right and went behind Jake’s mallet slamming in another point for her. Olivia looked up and saw his expression change. Jake now understood that she had definitely played before and obviously decided to take it more serious himself based on the determination written on his face.

She took her time getting the newly released puck and tilted her head back to swing her hair out of her face. Eyeing Jake carefully, she placed the puck on the table and slowly drifted it, watching Jake’s body language before hitting him with a pump fake that scored her yet another point. Jake just hung his head and shook it in disbelief. This time Jake charged the puck as it crossed the centerline and scored his first point. Olivia pouted with narrowed eyes as Jake reached for the puck this time.
