Black and Blue

Never have I ever

We all sat in a circle on the floor around a large table. I sat between Sky and Hunt on both my sides,  Zayne sat beside her, Axel sat exactly opposite to me and River sat between Hunt and Aiden.

Hunt explained the rules of the game, everyone took a shot to start the game.

"Who wants to go first?" Hunt asked looking at everyone.

"I will go. Never have I ever drunk dialled an ex" River said going first.

Aiden, Hunt, Zayne and I were the ones who had to take the shots. Sky I knew never drunk dialled an ex because she has never been in a relationship to begin with. But I was impressed with Axel. He hasn't ever drunk dialled either.

"How does one know if we are being truthful?" Sky asked the question I have been pondering myself.

"You three know everything about each other right?" River asked Sky, Hunt and I. And we just nodded.

"Same with us. We have known each other since forever and know just about everything. So their is no one here who can get away with lying." Aiden explained who seemed a little drunk. This was longest sentence from him since the start of the evening.

"You have never drunk dialed? Like ever? How is it even possible?" Sky asked Axel. I just love her sometimes. She always knows what to ask.

"You dint have a shot either" Axel countered her.

"She doesn't do relationships, so there never was an ex for her to dial to begin with. I am the only one she dials when she drinks." I said explaining. River gasped who then covered it up with a cough.

"Axel is very particular about everything. When he gets out of a relationship he makes sure that there is nothing left for him to get back. He doesn't get in a relationship unless he is absolutely sure about it, and he doesn't get out of one until he is absolutely sure there is nothing left." Aiden explained very seriously looking at me.

As if that even made any sense. Does he think relationships are a study course that needs to be completed or something. What does it even mean? Besides, this was another long sentence from Aiden and why was he looking at me like he was explaining it for my sake. I just nodded at him not knowing what to say. I glanced at Axel who looked at me with great intensity that was heating me up from within. Or I might just be drunk. But then again, I had a good alcohol tolerance, I never got drunk easily. 

"Moving on" River said nudging Aiden to continue.

"Never have I ever gotten a tattoo."

All of us drank except Hunt and Aiden.

"You have a tattoo? You both got a tattoo? When did you get it? Why don't I know about it? Where is it?" Hunt asked Sky and me. And then started searching for the tattoo by pulling my arms and legs.

"Hunt how many times have I told you, don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to" Sky said slapping his hands away from me.

I was looking at Axel who just smriked at me and had a look of determination on his face.

"Never have I ever had a one night stand." Axel said looking at me.

I looked away taking a shot. All of us took a shot except River and Axel. 

"Never?" Sky asked River.

"Never." He said looking at her seriously.

Sky and I just looked at each other remembering all the things we had done all through the years. We had our wild years during college where we did a lot of things that we would rather keep it in the past. My gaze fell on Axel again and he looked at me with that blank expression again.
