"I don't know how you can get that by just looking at it... I needed ages to only understand the first sentence."

I look up from my sheet, where I already finished half of our chemistry homework.

"I'll explain it."

Ashton gives me a smile and scoots closer, pressing our thighs together and leaving a tingling feeling on my skin.

"I literally wouldn't know what to do without you, sweetie."

There is it again, the burning feeling on my cheeks.

Coming home has become nerve-racking for me, because there always was the possibility of finding Ashton in my room. It became a habit of him just climbing through my window and waiting there for me.

Today was no different.

Smiling widely I enter my room and greet him with a shy hello. I stop in my tracks as I notice a difference. Normally Ashton brings his chemistry book or sometimes his math stuff. But today he's got two cups and a bottle of vodka with him.

"Hey Leigh! I thought we could for once do something different than studying today."

He gives me a mischievous smile and I feel nervous since I don't really drink alcohol and this could end badly if my parents come home early and burst in.

"I-I don't know. What did you have in mind?"

"Come here and sit down first then I'll explain."

I let my bag slide down my shoulder and then slowly come closer until I can sit down next to him on my bed.

"So we gonna play 'Never have I ever'."

Ashton hands me over a cup and opens the bottle. I instantly can smell the alcohol and have to cringe my nose. The sound of his chuckle fills the room.

"Do you know how to play it?"

I just nod, I've seen enough movies to know the principle of it. I just never played it before.

Ashton enthusiastically claps his hands together.

"Okay, but we'll play it with reversed rules."

"What?" I ask confused.

"We drink when we never did it. So for example when I say... 'Never have I ever played this game before.' I don't have to drink and judging by your look you never played it before so you would've to drink. Understood?"

I just nod, sensing this won't end well for me.

"I'm a real gentleman so I'll let you start, Milady."

I? Starting? Please no. I will never come up with a good thing I've done before. My life's just so boring compared to Ashton's.

"Mh... How about... Never have I ever learnt to speak a different language?"

Ashton just laughs at me and says cheers before lifting his cup and emptying it with one big gulp.

"Didn't expect anything else from you, but you got me, not bad sweetie."

Every time he calls me that I get weak in the knees. Fortunately I'm sitting right now and can concentrate on him and his perfect smile.

"My turn! Never have I ever been drunk."

I look down on my cup and nervously examine the liquid. I only drink alcohol when my family celebrates something and then it's usually champagne or something like that. I've never been really drunk.

I slowly bring my cup to my lips and taste the burning taste of pure vodka on my lips. It's horrible.

Ashton laughs next to me. "We'll see if it's still true after this."

"Your turn again, Leigh."

I can't even remember why I started giggling but now I can't stop. But I don't care since I feel perfectly fine, if not better than ever.

"Aaaaaaaashton hihi. Is it my or your turn? I can't remember."

His arm lies around me. Since when it's been there? Can't remember that either.

"And I thought you are the smart one in here."

"Heyyy" I try being annoyed but within seconds the giggles start again and I lean against Ashton while laughing.

He raises an eyebrow watching me with a smirk on his lips.

"I think it's time for the more interesting questions. Never have I ever had sex."

"Oh. How I wish..." I lift my cup and gulp down the vodka. It no longer burns down my throat.

Ashton mutters something under his breath which I don't get before he refills my cup and starts another round.

"Never have I ever had a girlfriend or boyfriend, whatever you prefer."

"Boy. I think so at least. Hihihi" I hide my face behind my hands, trying to stop the giggles.

"Sooo, you had a boyfriend before?" Ashton checks curious.

"If you can count holding hands in 7th grade as a relationship?" It's hard getting out all the right words. But who cares, I'm having fun.

"No definitely not, you'll have to drink." He winks at me and I go weak in the knees, emptying the next cup.

"Never have I ever kissed someone."

"Define kissing."

"A proper one. Leigh you must have kissed someone before!"

I keep quiet thinking back. There was this moment with Mark last year but Ashton properly wouldn't call a moment of lips touching a proper kiss.

So I lift my cup up once more.

"We definitely have to change that. Come here, sweetie."

I can't comprehend the words quick enough to see his next actions coming. Not with my brain being so slow and blurred.

First his big hand cups my face, turning it up slightly so I can look into his eyes for a moment. Then my eyes are closed and I just can feel his lips on mine, moving in sync. My hands move on their own, finding their way into his hair.

Then it's over. He slowly pulls back, smiling down at me but I can't say or do anything for a few seconds, my mind is just blank. It was the most amazing feeling ever.
