Just Cruising

Chapter 9: Day III

We all sat facing each other on the bed. I ended up holding Jacobs hand even though Fin was giving me a weird look. Apparently, these were the rules:
No backing down from any answer or answering falsely
And
No playing this game with out drinks.

So, while me and Jacob were having a heart to heart, Fin did the honours of calling room service (is there a secret phone in the bathroom I don't know of???) and ordering a large bottle of bourbon. Apparently it 'soothes your guilty conscience' quite well, according to the genius named Fin.

So the game started like this; Fin asked to be first and he was. He took his time choosing between his opponents mumbling about 'knowing Jacobs weaknesses' and 'wanting to wow Rachel's soft spot' and crap like that. Let's just say that it took a really long time for him to decide. And he picked me. Guess my mysterious soft spots were more antagonizing than knowing Jacobs weaknesses.

He started out by asking me if I intended to get serious with Jacob. Well, let's just say my face couldn't not have taken much more heat than that. Jacob punched him hard in the shoulder earning a girly screech from Fin that made us all laugh. But Fin wouldn't let me off the hook. I couldn't say yes, or no. That would give Jacob the wrong picture, so I said what I knew.

"I don't know." And that earned my a big 'Booooooo' from slightly tipsy Fin, and a huge smile from Jacob, and maybe a kiss or two...

Fin started sputtering up that it was against the rules, and blah blah blah, but I pointed out that there were no rules about saying I don't know and other neutral answers. Fin just huffed out in frustration. Then it was Jacobs turn. He chose me also.

"So... Who would you pick to save you, not me obviously, but out of all the guys you know. Who would you pick to save you from a fire?" Not a question I saw coming, but I put some thought into it and came up with the perfect answer.

"My brother. I would trust him to save me."

He just burst out laughing, while Fin kept on saying that Jacob had picked a soft nugget of a girl. I just laughed. No one has ever heard of 'soft nugget'? But the night was young, and the bottle was not nearly empty.

When my turn arrived, I picked Fin, which earned me some disappointed puppy dog eyes from Jacob, but I couldn't pick him all he time. And plus I was trying to think of a really good question for him.

"So Fin, tell me, who was the last girl you were with?"

"Psh, thats what your going to ask me? Seriously? Darling, I'm a young, happy, slightly drunk little Brittish boy sitting right beside you, and thats what your asking me? Really?"

"Um... Yeah, so just answer the question."

"Huh... You Americans. Well, this girl named Ashley, and she is hot. Like damn a want a piece of her hot. She is a very flirts little bird, flounce to any guy who catches her eye. Anyways, she comes up to me and asks if I could buy her a drink. It's hard to resist a girl like her so I do. Well, that drink turns into about 12. She can barely walk in her heels and shes wearing an extremely short dress and flashing gherkins panties everywhere, so I try to take her home. I call a taxi and try to tell ask her for her address so I can tell the driver where to go. No such luck though. She just vomits all over me. So I just tell the drive rmy address and take her to my place. I carry her up to my room and place her on the bed to sleep, but she obviously gets the wrong idea. She starts strip teasing, and one thing leads to another. So yeah, she was my last!"

I look at him with a slightly disturbed face.

"Fin... I was asking about your last relationship... Not sex encounter," I say, traumatized by the imaged conjured up in my head. My poor brain will never unsee those things.
