Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 65

Hero

It's not long before a crowd of boys and girls gather around the ping pong table where glasses full of vodka have been set up, or at least I think it's vodka since it looks like water instead of beer.

"It's called Beer Pong, there should be beer!" I look around looking for confirmation from someone.

Actually no one answers me, precisely because all the attention is on the looks the girls who have decided to challenge each other, namely Jo and Ella, are sending each other.

I honestly thought that, after the little argument we had on the terrace, the talk was definitely over, but apparently I was wrong!

Ella looks at her as if she wants to kill her and Jo smiles uneasily: I shouldn't have made her drink that disgusting concoction of Morgz!
Who knows what was in it!
She seems much more combative than usual and I know she has a deep resentment for my ex-girlfriend!
I'd just like to move on and not talk about it anymore!

"So... shall we get started?" asks Jo, downing a glass of that clear thing that's in the glasses.
She makes a disgusted face and tries to recover by closing her eyes tightly.
Yes, it's definitely Vodka!

"You know, we're supposed to play before we drink!" Ella points out to her laughing scornfully "But I'm not sure you know the rules!"

"Let's get started!" Jo sets her glass down hard on the coffee table and bursts out laughing. "I wanted to make sure what was in the glass. God, that sucks!" she looks at me amused and winks.
Did I mention that I adore her?

The game begins.

I throw the ball first, which goes straight into the opponents' glass and Morgz drinks the first glass, trying to down it all in one go.
It's Ella's turn, she throws the ball which goes right into the glass in front of me.
I drink very reluctantly and literally feel the fire going down in my stomach.

This Vodka really sucks!

It tastes like pure alcohol!
It won't be long before all four of us are dead drunk!
I count the glasses in front of us: 16.
Fuck, let's hope we don't have to drink them all!

The game goes on, Ella and Jo take turns drinking, followed by me and Morgz. We're tied, no one seems to have missed a shot so far.

It's my turn again.

I throw the ball that ends up in Ella's glass!

"What the fuck Hero!!!" complains Ella glaring at me.

Morgz throws the ball and hits the glass in front of me! Shit!
It's my turn to drink again, I close my eyes and down that awful liquid, leaving some in the glass so I don't have to run and throw it all up in the bathroom.

I've already had three and I'm feeling on the edge!
Normally I can hold alcohol well but this really sucks!
Ella drinks another glass as Jo hits her ball with great satisfaction and I see that Ella suddenly turns white in the face.

"Everything Okay?" Morg asks her as she nods her head.

"I think I've had too many..." she holds up her stomach and I assume she's about to run to the bathroom.

Three seconds after, Ella suddenly runs off making Josephine explode with joy as she raises her arms in the air in victory!

She hugs me as she starts jumping for joy. "Did we win?" I ask.

"I'd say yes, Ella quit!!!" she laughs and then looks at me happily "Now we have to decide their penance..."

I have no idea what's going through her mind, but I'm starting to get scared.
When it comes to challenges and team games, her penalties are always the most absurd.
I dare not imagine what she could have come up with now!
