RIVER

We end up playing Never Have I Ever.

As expected Malakai rushes to ask if anyone has ever had a threesome, clearly waiting for my answer. I don't drink but I do shoot him a wink, which leads him to stay in doubt.

We do a few starter rounds— after that— just to keep everyone in the mood. Also so we can almost freely drink. Though Mason and Sab keep their word and choose water instead of any alcohol.

By the fifth question, it's Gisele's turn and she hits us with a raw, "Never Have I Ever kissed a friend's ex boyfriend or ex fling," making me wonder if that happened to her.

I keep my drink on the table, contrary to Theo who takes a swig of his own. I'm not surprised, though if he's done it's definitely with the consent of said friend, he doesn't usually go into messy situations like these.

Everyone else stays still and we move on onto the next question. I have to admit I'm surprised the blonde was the only one drinking, maybe there's still some decent people around the world after all.

"Never Have I Ever sent a drunk text to someone I shouldn't have." Malakai says next, eyeing everyone in the circle.

I almost snort as I lift the bottle to my lips, knowing I've done it more times than I'd like to admit. Worst part? Most of them weren't even to exes or any guy in general.

Once I sent my female history teacher a pic of me in a new dress. It was supposed to be sent to Sab but I was tipsy and my finger slipped. I thought I had deleted it in time but the next day she called me to the side to talk about it.

I'm not usually a person who feels ashamed or embraced but when I tell you I felt like dying in that moment. Jeez, never again.

"What about..." Riley creates some anticipation, humming as she thinks, "Who's flirted to get something before?"

"Oh, you have no idea," Theo shakes his head, grinning, as he finished his bottle.

"Did it work?" Vance chuckles with a raised brow, but I notice he drinks too.

Honestly I think almost all of us do, sometimes you got to do what you got to do. Besides these days people take flirting as simply batting your eyelashes and being friendly so...yeah.

"Of course it worked, I'm the flirting master, you can ask Riv, she loves my pick up lines," the blonde shoots me a wink and I scrunch my nose.

I lift a shoulder, "And yet you're still chasing me,"

"I'd chase you too, girl," Riley whistles.

"Have fun trying, River is the most difficult person around," Mason says it as more of a fact than an insult and I shrug not ashamed.

"It's a though competition between her and Dex actually," Sabrina purses her lips and waves a finger between the two of us.

"Yet you were able to get us both wrapped around your finger, Sab," I smirk at her, not bothered by having this title.

"What? Here I thought we were starting to have a connection, River Fontaine," Malakai gasps, pretending to be hurt.

I blow him a kiss, "It's my effect, Malakai Moore"
