The party isin full gear by the time we get there. The music is blaring, you can’t look anywhere without seeing at least 37 red-solo cups in your view. Nearly everyone is making out with someone. Those who aren’t are playing beer pong or flip cup.
There is also an intense game of naked twister going on at the moment. Each time someone falls, they have to take off an article of clothing before the next round starts. There is a guy who is all but naked with a bunch of girls. I think he’s losing on purpose. A smile creeps onto my face for a moment before I’m able to stop it. I take a sip of my beer and try to hide it.
“Dude,” Van says as he elbows me in the arm, nearly spilling my beer. “You know you want to go play.”
“I certainly do, but not here,” I shoot back to him with a knowing grin.
Just then, something hard hits me in the back, making me stumble forward. I turn around ready to punch someone before realizing it’s a girl.
“Oh my god!” she screams. “I’m so sorry, some drunk asshole just ran into me.”
“It’s fine,” I answer, shaking the spilled beer from my hand. “How could I be mad at someone as adorable as you?”
“Oh, wow! You sure know how to lay it on thick, don’t you?” she says, rolling her eyes.
“Well, I thought that was safer than straight up asking you if you wanted to go find somewhere quiet to make out.”
“HI!” she shouts sarcastically as she sticks out her hand to me. “I’m Gigi! Nice to meet you. I think we should at least know one another’s names first, yeah?”
“I’m Griffin,” I answer, taking her hand into mine with a big smile on my face. “You’re right. I’m sorry.”
“So, you want to go make out, huh?” she asks.
“Yeah,” I answer, taking my bottom lip between my teeth.
She shrugs her shoulders and flashes me a coy smile.
“Okay. I’ll make out with you,” she says.
I take her by her hand as we go looking for a vacant room. When we aren’t able to find one, we end up back downstairs near the game of naked twister.
“We could always go back to my place,” I say to her.
She narrows her eyes and purses her lips at me for a moment, as if she is thinking over my proposal. Then, she looks around as if she’s trying to find a reason to get away from me.
“Well, I came here with two of my sorority sisters. Not sure where they are at the moment, but can they come too?”
I turn and look at Van. He shoots me a devilish smile back.
“You actually think we’d say ‘no’ to that?”
Once we locate Gigi’s sorority sisters, Kayla and Lauren, we walk the three blocks back to our frat house.
Chapter Two
Griffin
“Dude,this is insane! Kayla is so fucking hot!” Van states while adjusting his already hard cock.
Damn it, Griff. Quit looking at it like you’re a fucking fag.
We’re back at the house now and the girls have already gone off to the bathroom to freshen up.
“Yeah, she is. I can’t wait to get in Gigi’s pants, man.”
We grab some beers from the fridge and head back out into the rec room just as we hear the girls walking back down the hall.
