“Hey guys, you guys got the party started without us?”
Chanel was such a flirt. She was swinging her hips to the side and now everything was falling into place for her as Dwayne wrapped his hand around her waist.
As for Liam, he did that thing. It was a mix between a grunt and a smile. It should have had me running even if it was toward the damn trees, but it got me every time. I found it sexy. A guy that said nothing, but a lot more with his expressions when he felt like giving some away.
“Let’s have a drink.”
Did he just invite me to drink with him?
I turned to look and see if someone else was standing behind me.
“Yes, it’s me asking you for a drink,” he laughed as he put his arm around my waist. It was an open invitation. In my confusion I walked with him.
“We really shouldn’t be drinking at our age.”
I sounded like my mom, a natural thing I did whenever I was nervous.
“Well, we’re all over eighteen, and under the state of Minnesota it’s not illegal.”
He winked at me; I knew that it wasn’t illegal. But I just didn’t want to do it. One sip and I’d be laughing and embarrassing myself, which was cool when it was only the girls in the room but in front of others, and especially Liam, it wasn’t. He’d be the one running through the woods trying to get as far away from me as possible.
I smiled, thinking that I couldn’t do anything else seeing as I was speechless.
“I know what we should do…” Liam said, looking at Chanel. God, she may as well have had her tongue out. It was so obvious what she had in mind and none of it was good. She had it so bad for Dwayne that she could start a forest fire. She was like a cat in heat.
“What?”
She practically sat on top of Dwayne and took a quick swig of her beer. It was kind of clear “what” Liam was thinking, as his hand grabbed my waist even tighter, almost like a cobra! For a girl that didn’t want to drink, suddenly I didn’t hesitate in practically shoving the whole bottle down my throat. “Spin the bottle!” I announced.
Chanel clapped her hands, “Great idea.”
I nearly choked and I was coughing so badly that instead of Liam patting my back, he just rubbed his hand up and down so firmly that it made me choke even more.
“Adele, are you okay?” Chanel said sympathetically. Maybe for once she would feel guilty about tricking me into this sex pool. That’s what “let’s play a game” stands for; everyone ends up having sex and disguising it as being something which accidentally happened because they were playing a game.
I shake my head, gasping “No,” while trying to breathe.
“Maybe if you take your top off you’ll feel better.”
And all of a sudden, I stopped coughing and repeated the word, “No.”
As I moved away from Liam and smiled while taking the bottle, I had a question for him. One that involved making him feel the same way that he did with most of students.
Small.
Like insects.
“I have a question for you.” Then without hesitation I finished the rest of my beer. I should have eaten something beforehand, but I didn’t know that we weren’t going to a real party and I’ve been eating one too many pieces of candy while burning the midnight oil.
“Spin that bottle! Someone’s in a party mood now!” Dwayne said as he stroked Chanel’s face. The way the two of them were behaving was making me sick, and it wasn’t from drinking the beer too fast.
Liam’s emerald eyes were on me; there was no expression on his face and then he opened his lips. I expected him to tell me to slow down or that we should play another game. Instead he blurted out, “Spin it!”
And that was exactly what I did, hoping that it would land on me.
I realized I was pissed as I spun it and Chanel jumped up and clapped her hands, “Adele first!”
I slumped back down, thinking that this couldn’t get any worse. Until Dwayne asked the question, “Tell me Adele, who’s the boy that you want to give your virginity to when you leave high school?”
