Bitch. I give her a death glare and laugh.
I lift my drink, my arm brushing Lucas’s when I lift it to my mouth.
Tyler and Lucas take a drink too.
“Never have I ever sucked a dick,” Renae laughs.
Me and Danielle drink.
“Never have I ever… fuck I don’t know what I haven’t done.” Tyler scratches his chin. “Fucked a guy.”
All of us girls drink.
“Never have I ever gone skinny dipping,” Theo says, all of us but him have a drink.
“Never have I ever…” Lucas taps his fingers on his armrest. “Cheated on someone.”
Tyler shyly picks up his drink. He shrugs, “to be fair, it was in primary school and it was just a kiss.”
Everyone laughs.
It’s my turn, “never have I ever… had a threesome.”
Tyler and Renae both drink. Danielle’s eyes bulge a little as she looks at Tyler.
Its Renae’s turn to pick up a card.
“Ten.” She rubs the card on her chin. “Sex positions… Sixty-niner.”
“Doggy,” Tyler chimes quickly.
Theo thinks a bit hard about it, “Reverse cowgirl.”
Lucas coughs awkwardly, “when she’s on top.”
“When he’s on top,” I counter.
“Okay, boring married couple.” Danielle laughs, “the pretzel.” Shesmiles proudly.
Cards are drawn, drinks are flowing, and we all grow louder. The pizza delivery guy came and went, the pizza all devoured.
The kings cup is almost full, only a small handful of cards are left.
Lucas’s knee is against mine under the table. I don’t want to move away. Neither does he, obviously.
He’d drawn an eight earlier and picked me as his drinking mate. So now, every time he drinks, I drink.
He does it, a lot.
“You’re gonna get me drunk,” I murmur as I lean closer to him.
He smirks.
Our friends shout and laugh around us, but I only half-hear them. I am hyper-aware of Lucas—his thigh warm against mine, his shoulder brushing mine when he laughs.
“Four!” Renae yells. Everyone scrambles to touch the floor. Lucas and I fumble off our chairs and land in a heap on the ground, tangled limbs and breathless laughter.
“Shit,” I laugh, blinking up at him.
