a beautiful lie (continued/ original by winternightz)

Fuck It Up, Taylor!

The doorbell echoes through the house and Bill jumps to his feet to get our food. The smell of fresh pizza nears us as Bill comes back with a stack of cardboard boxes. I clap my hands as he puts everything down and grabs us some napkins. I snatch my pizza from the table and scoff down a slice, but instantly regretting it. I make a hashhash noise as I try to cool the food down. Everyone laughs at me as I fan my mouth and wave my hands around.
"Fuck off!" I say after finally swallowing the mouthful
"Im gonna grab us some pre drinks. No one eat my pizza!" I run out the sliding glass door which leads to the back garden and rush across the path, making sure to not slip over.

I browse the alcohol shelves and find some rum. I pull one of the stools over and stand on it. I carefully take the bottle down from the tall shelf and put it on the counter before getting down and pushing the stool back.
I sprint back to the mansion and clasp the bottle tightly so I don't drop it.

I make my way to the kitchen to grab some cups and some cola to mix the rum with. Once I'm done, I take the drinks to the boys one by one being careful not to spill any, I do not need any more embarrassment tonight.
"Thank you babe" Tom says while patting me on the arse as I go to grab my own drink.

We all sip our drinks and eat our food in silence, the only noise being Gustavs lips slapping a couple of times. I know he cant really help it but its so fucking annoying. But other than that, its very peaceful in the house for once, no noise, no arguments, everyones just content and getting along. It feels nice to be able to relax a bit, as so far I have been far from relaxed.

I look outside and watch as the sun disappears behind the trees and the sky goes dark. I finish my food in no time, so does Bill, so we wait for the others to finish as well. Thankfully they don't take too long, as I'm itching to go and have a drink with everyone while were all getting along.
"Can we get in the pool a bit later?" I question
"Yeah, sure" Georg says in between sips. I jump from my seat and run to my room to put a bikini on, the boys follow to do the same.

When I get to the wardrobe, I'm met with Tom who's towering behind me. His energy seems quite balanced, so I don't feel as scared as I usually would.
"While you were browsing all of the clothes, I found a bikini I thought you might like. I didn't put it in the bag as I wanted to surprise you"
I spin around to face him and watch as he pulls a beautiful red bikini from behind his back
"Don't laugh. But I even bought red swimming shorts to match." He looks away in embarrassment, but I think its quite cute. I can tell he really is trying to change for me, and that makes me love him even more
"Awwww!" I jump up onto my tip toes and wrap my arms around his neck.

I get undressed and slip the bikini on,
"You dressed?" I call out to Tom who's getting changed in the main bedroom
"Yeah" I walk out to him and give him a twirl.
His eyes wander my body and his eyes light up
"Its nice huh!" I say, giddy with excitement
"You look so beautiful" He grabs my hips and pulls me onto him so I'm straddling his lap.
He stares into my eyes and tilts his head up at me. He opens his mouth as if to say something, but he struggles to find the right words, so instead he pulls me into a deep passionate kiss.

He snakes his hands around my waist and trails his way down to hold my hips. My stomach fills with butterflies and my head goes fuzzy. He slides one of his hands to my inner thigh and massages it before slipping a finger underneath the bikini bottoms
"WE DONT HAVE ALL NIGHT!" Georg bangs on our door.
Tom pulls back from the kiss and lifts me up out of his lap
"c'mon love" I hold his arm and we walk to the outdoor bar to meet the boys.

"Fucking hell man! We almost started drinking without you two" Bill says while pulling shot glasses out from a cabinet.
Tom smirks at me and rolls his eyes jokingly
"What would you like today ma'am?" Bill says while holding his towel on his forearm, pretending to be a bartender
"Ill take a shot of vodka please sir!" I play along, I think its time we all loosen up. Bill slides a shot across the counter to me and bows dramatically. I giggle and take my shot while everyone stares
"What? You guys gonna watch me have fun or join in?" I say, prompting them to get some drinks.

We all take our empty glasses and fill them back up before downing more shots, this time all together. One turns into five and five turns into ten, and before we know it we all get quite tipsy.
"Ill bet that Taylor can beat Gustav in a vodka chug!" Georg says, trying to rowel us up
"Hell yeah Ill beat him!" I say while grabbing a new bottle.
"Alright." Gustav shrugs "Don't get too big for your boots" He grabs his own bottle and Bill counts us down
"3...2...1...GO!" I put the bottle to my lips and chug like I never have before. I look at Gustav who begins to slow down. I try not to smile as Id throw myself off so I turn back to the wall and keep chugging.
I hear a heavy pant

"Anddddd, the winner is Taylor!" Bill says while slamming his fist onto the table. I finally put the bottle down and struggle to re gain my breath.
"Whooo! I told ya Id win!" I stick my tongue out at Gustav and he claps
"Alright, Ill give you that" He nods before speaking again
"Hmmm, how bout Tom versus Taylor?"
"Seriously!? I just chugged almost a whole bottle and you want me to go again?!" I say in disbelief
"How bout Tom versus Bill!" I suggest
"Oh its on!" Bill says while rolling a bottle to Tom
"Don't get too exited Bill. Remember, I always win" Tom says with a cocky tone
"3...2...1...GO!" I shout, they put the bottles to their lips and chug the vodka down like its nothing. Bill slams his hand down and rips the bottle away from himself before spitting some of the liquid out
"Tom wins!" I say giggling
"Whatever!" Bill says between gags
"Georg against Gustav!" I say
"Oh nah! Im not doing that" He gives me a disgusted look and dry heaves.

"Okay wow bummer.Gustav versus me again I guess" I say "Then the winners go against each other" Everyone agrees and Bill counts us down again. I take a deep breath before swinging the bottle back and downing the alcohol as quickly as I can so I don't taste it. At around 30s of chugging, Gustav gives in and puts the bottle down.
"Ugh!" He sighs "Tom versus me then" He sounds confident in himself this time.
The boys drink away and Tom doesn't seem to be planning on loosing. He side eyes Gustav who's beginning to slow down again. Gustav moves the bottle away from his lips and slams his fist onto the counter
"Shit!" He shouts, Tom puts his bottle down gently and shrugs

"Tom versus Taylor! Time to find out who the real champ is!" Bill jumps on the spot and counts us down again.
I throw my head back and take huge sips of the disgusting drink, I feel my body starting to warm up, and I get a sicky feeling in my stomach. But, I cannot give up now. And I have to beat Tom! He's way too full of himself. I glance to Tom who's also looking at me. He doesn't seem effected in the slightest, it looks like he's drinking regular water.
I keep chugging and I watch as he finally starts to give in. He tries to keep going but he runs out of breath and has to stop to breath. He puts his bottle down and pants while wiping his lips.
I jump out of the barstool and bounce around him while he shakes his head.
"I was going easy on you" He sighs
