Highly Unlikely [BxB]

CHAPTER TEN

Did You Know That Roses Were Red?

Mikey:
you're coming for this party or we are coming to grab you. your pick bro

I felt like it was exactly what I needed, so there wouldn't be any grabbing necessary. Julian had shaken me, and I had to stop thinking about it.

               Shivers usually traveled down but these ones moved from my feet to where my hands were circled around him. So much warmth from his solid body. He smelled like sunshine and boyishness. I wanted the hug to last longer, deep down I knew I did. So this party was a mechanism of sorts.

               The party was raging when I got there. I nodded while smiling as I got out of my car. This was the stuff.

It would get wild from here on out with such a party. I'd get lost in it and forget whatever moments I shared with Julian. Except it didn't feel like he was leaving my head anytime soon.

               "Kayden's hereeeee!" I hear someone screech out and I realised it was Dane. He was part of the basketball team, but not one of the guys I frequently hung out with, so I mostly only saw him at school. And—no surprise here—parties.

Suddenly almost the entire basketball team was rushing towards me. Especially the ones I hadn't seen in more than two weeks. And in the next moment, I was up in the air, and people were cheering all around me.

I was almost forgetting how far these boys could act out. It tore a laugh from my chest.

I was set at one end of a table with almost the entire party gathering around. "My challenge still stands," said Dane. He smiled while looking directly at me.

He'd challenged me to a drinking contest. It was an age old tradition of the basketball team. Especially if we'd won a game and someone threw a party. Someone always threw a party. This one was his.

"Pfft," I scoffed and looked to the side at my boys. "Someone recording this?" I asked. "Because dear old Daney here is about to have his ass handed to him." The crowd cheered and hollered then started to chant.

Mike controlled the chanting, and it got louder as a bottle of hard liquor was placed in my hand. "Three!" Everyone screamed.

"Two!"

"One!"

"Go!"

Dane and I began to chug on our bottles as the crowd went wild. It was a bad idea. I had to drive home but fuck that. A challenge was a challenge, and boys were as stupid as they came.

It was too loud to hear my own thoughts anyway...with everyone shouting and alcohol filling inside me.

I set my empty bottle of alcohol down before Dane did, it slammed so hard it was a wonder the bottle didn't break. It was the announcement of my victory.
