Jay still was frustrated that he had to do anything to get rid of Sophie. He wished she would just leave him alone, but clearly that wasn't going to happen. Still, if all he had to do to make her leave him alone was do more push ups that was alright with him. After all, she was just a skinny twelve year old girl, she'd probably do like 3 push-ups and get tired. Still he didn't want her overexerting herself and getting hurt, because he really didn't want to spend his morning taking care of a brat like Sophie. He figured the best way to take care of this was to do 20 or 30 push-ups, and just show her that she had no chance.
"Fine Sophie, you want a push-up contest, that's what we'll do, but when I win you have to leave me alone." Jay answered the challenge of his neighbor. Sophie beamed with joy, she was elated that the apple of her eye had fallen for her trap. Jay got onto his stomach and started hammering out push-ups quickly, trying to show off to intimidate her. He got 5 perfect push-ups done quickly and then settled into a steady routine, feeling pretty happy with himself. Sophie was happy to, but for a very different reason.
"Wow your doing so good Jay! Way better form than my sister, you'll do way better then she ever does." Sophie heaped praise on the confident boy who was liking how quickly he'd impressed Sophie, maybe this would be even easier than he expected. "She can only ever do 50 push-ups, it'll be nice to have a real challenge for once." Sophie finished, further boosting his confidence. Wait did she say 50? Was Jay hearing right? Sophie's sister was doing 50? He had just finished 10 and was already starting to slow down. And if 50 wasn't enough to give Sophie a challenge, how many push-ups was Sophie capable of doing? Jay audibly gulped.
"Wait..how many push-ups can you do Sophie?" Jay asked, trying to not divulge the fear gathering in the back of his head. This is exactly what Sophie wanted to hear. Jay had once again taken the bait, and if everything kept going to plan she'd have her first kiss in no time.
"Oh I usually do around 75, but that's just because I get bored, I can probably do at least 100." Sophie said confidently, like it was nothing. Jay was mortified, he'd just finished his 14th push-up and his arms were on fire. How could she possibly do 100? She was just a little girl? How could she be stronger than him. He forced himself down again and again, getting to his 16th push-up and questioning how many more he could possibly get out of him. Sophie had to hold back giggles as she watched this boy struggle to keep going, knowing that his deteriorating form was a sign of the strength sapping out of his arms, soon he'd be hers. "You can do it sweetie, keep pushing!" Sophie cheered on her crush.
As Sophie's spirits rose, Jay's couldn't be any lower. He finally finished his 20th push-up and even though he wanted desperately to keep going his arms simply had no strength left in them. He laid there on the ground feeling defeated before Sophie had ever done a single push-up. "Oh no honey, can you really not keep going? I thought you were stronger than me. Your older than me and bigger than me, but I guess I'm stronger." Sophie's words felt like daggers in the heart of Jay. He rolled onto his back and looked up at the sky in frustration. For the first time since this started he saw the look on Sophie's face. She was smiling ear to ear and it drove Jay crazy.
"Well, I think your ready for your kiss!" Sophie squealed, and to Jay's shock she jumped on top of him. He tried to push her off of him, but his arms were completely sapped and she easily pinned them over his head. Jay was furious, realizing that this had all been part of her plan.
"Get off me Sophie!" Jay yelled at the girl who was effortlessly pinning him down. He tried to squirm away, but she was sitting astride him and she was able to control him, she wasn't going to let him get away when she was so close to getting what she wanted.
"Haha you're so silly. I can barely do three push-ups, but I knew if I tricked you into doing as many as you could that you'd get tired and then you'd be all mine." Sophie giggled while finally revealing her plan to the boy she'd captured. Jay looked up at the scrawny girl who'd rendered him helpless, at her silly butterfly clip in her messy red hair, and once again tried to fight his way out, but this just brought on laughter from his tiny tormentor as she easily held him in place.
Then she brought her face within inches of his own. "Now I finally get to kiss you, and you can't do anything to stop me." Sophie couldn't stop smiling as she teased him. She puckered her lips and finally pressed her lips into Jay's, softly kissing him. Jay was fighting to get away, but he simply had no choice but to endure for as long as Sophie wanted to kiss him. Sophie broke of her kiss, elated to finally have the first kiss that she'd dreamed of all this time. She looked in to his eyes and as she saw the panic within them, she couldn't imagine anything cuter. She kissed him again and again and Jay had no choice but to accept that he'd been outsmarted.
