[19] spin the bottle

Nick was a little hesitant at first. „Go on. Spin the bottle. Or you afraid you're gon get one o' the boys?" one of the girls asked. She told the boys that her name was Amalya. „Oh come on, i'm not that bad of a kisser, am i?" Wilbur complained. „No, you're not." Nick chuckled and proceeded to spin the bottle.

Deep inside he was wishing not to get one of the girls. By far he had kissed one of them and it just felt wrong. Even kissing Wilbur, pretty much his best friend, didn't seem as wrong as kissing Sally, the other girl did. Maybe it was because they were complete strangers to him. That could be a reason, right?

The bottle spun. And it got slower. It was so slow on Sally, Nick was literally praying in his head to just spin an inch further. And it did. The bottle pointed closely past the girl, the next in the circle being Karl.

Karl. The guy his best friend said Nick had a crush on for ages.

They stood up. Karl put a hand to Nick's cheek and pulled him closer. Both the boys were hesitant. They shared a deep, meaningful look in each other's eyes, before they closed their eyes and finally let their lips touch. Nick's lips were tingling upon the touch of Karl's. They were really soft, tasted a bit like alcohol. Well, it's not surprising as Karl had been taking many shots.

Their lips touched for what felt like forever, but was actually just about 3 seconds. When they finally pulled away, they just sat down in silence. While it was happening, Will let out an excited „oooh", like friends do when their friends finally kiss the person they'd been crushing on for ages.

„Uh, Karl, we still need a fun fact or a shot." Amalya reminded him.
„Oh, yea. Fun fact: Nick actually walked in on me fresh out the shower yesterday morning."
„Ooooh interesting." Will let out. „So, you going to spin the bottle?"
„Actually no. I'm pretty tired. Nick, Wilbur, d'you wanna go to my room with me?"
„Yea sure, i'm in." Nick replied. Wilbur nodded.
„Can we come?" Sally asked.
„Sorry, but no. My room isn't for party guests."
„Come oooon." She begged.
„No. Besides, i'm interested in neither of you."
„Who said we were interested in you?"
„I dunno, but i don't care, if you want Nick's or Will's number, just ask them."

And Will actually gave his number to Sally. Sally had red, curly hair and lots of freckles. She had beautiful, bright blue eyes and a pair of round, silver colored glasses. He ended up not going into Karl's room, but on a night walk with Sally, and god knows what they did after that.

Nick and Karl on the other hand just sat in silence. Nick wasn't sure if it was appropriate to bring up the kiss. Well, he did have feelings for Karl, and they kissed, but it was only for a stupid party game you play when you're drunk. And Karl was pretty drunk, so he wouldn't remember this in the morning anyway, would he?
