It was time for us to sneak out to the game. I actually agreed to go once Shell told me that you were able to drink if you didn't want to kiss that person. I didn't want to drink either, but a few sips isn't bad.
All of the guards were sleep, that's not surprising. We gathered around on a big picnic table near the campfire area, which made the table really close to the woods. I'm not scared, I'm just sitting at the far end that's away from the woods.
A few minutes later everyone finally got there and a pretty blonde explained the rules.
"So we'll spend the bottle of course. And the person who spends the bottle has to kiss whoever it lands on unless they decide to drink. To be fair, anyone of the people can drink, but you only get 3 passes so no one gets drunk. To be more specific, you can only take a shot 3 times, once they're all used you have to kiss the person the bottle lands on and likewise. Everybody got it?" She stated in a cheeky voice.
The rules are pretty simple, at least they're being responsible with the drinking thing. Though who knows what will go on in the cabins when this is all over.
Someone spent the bottle, landing on another person, they decided to kiss. I don't understand the point of this game. It's really just people looking for excuses to kiss people. The bottle landed on Loel a couple of times. It hurt, but then again they're random people. What's there to be jealous about besides the fact that their another persons lips and not mine.
She spun, it landed on James. Of fucking course. My expression changed a little and I adjusted in my seat. No one notices because everyone was excited, saying things like 'ooou' and 'I ship it.'
Finally Loel got up, walking over to James who was smirking as he waited. She grabbed his hood string with a smile on her face and kissed him. It was long and passionate. They only stopped when someone said 'Alright! Alright! We get it, save it for the cabin' making a few chuckle. I tried not to let it bother me, but it did.
The game went on, I got landed on a couple of times... I didn't realize how eager some girls were to kiss me because they gave me a look every time. I'd always end up drinking though, which wasn't smart because I was out of shots. Whoever it picked next or when it landed on me I'd have to kiss that person. Unless they drink of course, which is pretty embarrassing to say the least. But I've done to other girls so I can't be hurt by it. God what if a boy picks me?? I cringe at the thought and shake my head.
When I looked up, the bottle was facing me, my eyes widen and after a while I looked up to see Amber staring directly towards me. I know I'm blushing. How could I not? I know she won't drink... after all she said what she said in the cabin like she was certain she'd kiss me tonight.
She started walking towards me, the closer she got the more nervous I got. I'm gonna have my first kiss in front of everyone, with some really attractive girl I don't really know. There's three things I'm worried about. One being that I absolutely CANNOT screw up this kiss in front of everyone. Two, she's getting supper close and when she's here shes gonna kiss me. Why didn't I prepare for this before this game even started? I think I got carried away because we could avoid kissing, plus the fact that it's not guaranteed that the bottle will land on you more than once.
She was in front of me and I once I turned in my seat and noticed her, she bent down, she was blushing a little too, but I knew I was blushing more. With a lift of her finger, we were looking each other in the eyes. She smirked before she whispered, "Relax, focus on my lips."
And with that she cups my cheek and kisses me. It's soft and slow, but not too slow, for the first few seconds I wasn't kissing back, but I started when I was comfortable. It was long, but not too long. When she pulled away her thumb eased to the bottom of my lip and she slid it down, making it bounce a little.
She looked me up and down before she left, not saying a word. GOD THAT WAS HOT. I look calm and collected right now, but my insides are having a party of their own. The rest of the game was a blur. It didn't stop on me anymore and by the time it was my turn one last time it landed on a boy I talked to in 2nd period a lot.
"Gay." I said bluntly.
"Aha, noted." He chuckled and shook his head, taking a shot for me. After the game everyone started talking, I walked back to the door by myself hoping I would get a little time in the cabin to myself to scream in my pillow. I can't get over the way she looked at me. And her whispering voice is EVERYTHING.
I jumped in my bed and did just that. I screamed in my pillow and texted Braydon.
Me: DUDE.
Braydon: Its 1 in the morning, if there's no tissue fucking wipe with a paper towel.
Me: I- no! I'm not complaining about tissue!
Braydon: Oh, well then what is it?
I smile and roll my eyes. I don't even rant about not having tissue THAT much. Ugh.
Me: So I played spin the bottle for the first time...
Braydon: ... You haven't joked around since Loel lost her memory. Do I have Alex back?
Me: I'm serious! I mean it took a lot of convincing.
Braydon: Yeah no shit, let me guess, you kissed Loel?
Me: I wish. But it was Amber!
Braydon: ?
Me: She sleeps in the bed right beside me in our cabin. I've kinda seen her around in school but you know. Anyway, it was so great! UGHSKSOSJSJSKXOCOCLA
Braydon: Do you like her?
Me: I don't know... I'm pretty certain about Loel.
Braydon: We'll Loel isn't certain about you.
Me: Ouch.
Braydon: What I'm saying is, this Amber girl seems pretty fucking cool. And you'll obviously get to know her more by the time the trip comes to an end. You've been stuck on Loel for two years... I honestly don't even think she's bisexual anymore the way she's been into guys more than girls lately.
Me: Yeah I guess. But I don't think I actually have feelings for Amber.
Braydon: it's your first day meeting, so obviously. But of course don't show signs if you're not serious about her. I'm just saying, you should be open to other people. You can't be stuck on a girl who is already trying to figure herself out. Especially because she has a crush or whatever you wanna call that fucking dick.
Me: Yeah you're right. Well I'm gonna try to go to sleep now, see you tomorrow :)
Braydon: Goodnight :)
