Jc, Kian, and Ricky look at each other, making Emmi and I a bit suspicious. I steal a glance at Emmi and whisper, "What game do you think they're planning?" She shrugs. "It must be really fun because they're giggling non-stop." Connor, who was sitting next to me, overheards what we're saying and says to us. "Uh I don't think you guys-"

Jc interrupts. "OKAY GUYS. Let's play! Who wants to go first?"

Emmi raises her hand and says, "Before we start can I ask something? What exactly are we doing?" Jc smiles his cheeky grin at her, and says, "Well, it's actually a special game. A 2-in-1 game, and we added a bit of a twist to it." Kian smiles wide and then makes eye contact Emmi. "Would you like to go first Emmi?" Emmi's eyes bulge out of her head. 

"Um....sure I guess." 

Kian smiles even bigger and pulls out a beanie. "So let's just say that it's going to get a little dirty." Her eyes look like they're about to pop.

Kian wasn't finished. "NOT for the girls though, because we don't want the guests to feel awkward. The guys will do it since it's mostly guys here", he explains, laughing.

Emmi relaxes a bit, but I can see in her eyes that she was nervous. Kian continues to explain how to play the game.

"This game is like truth or dare, but there's no truths and it's just dares. Two dares to be specific. Also, we're adding Seven Minutes in Heaven. You do the dare during Seven Minutes in Heaven. So there are two pieces of paper in this beanie. The two things in this beanie are the stuff you have to strip: pants or shirt." All the guys turn at Emmi and I, and some of them begin to get red in the face to contain their laughter. 

I guess the looks on our faces were funny because Ricky was sucking at not cracking up. "Uhm...so....what's gonna happen to me?" Emmi asks, like she was about to get killed.

Kian's smile never falters once.

"One of us is going to be half naked with you in Connor's closet", he simply says with a wink.

Now THIS....this is the part where all of the guys start to crack up.

Emmi's face is bright red,and my face was starting to turn warm. I felt Connor start chuckling next to me. When Kian was able to breathe, he vocalizes, "Little heads up, Connor's closet is pretty small, so y'all will be invading each other's space." 

Emmi's face goes from bright red to a tomato. Kian pulls out a bottle. "This is how we choose, so it's not really a 2-in-1. It's just a mixture of shit. Hehehe."

Spin the Bottle, Seven Minutes in Heaven, and "Truth" or Dare? This is a crazy-ass mix.

Kian places the bottle in the middle of the circle and spun it. Emmi leans to me and whispers in my ear, "I hope I get Ricky. I have a really big crush on him and it would be awesome if-"

She gets cut off when she sees the bottle stop. Sure enough, she got Ricky. She looks calm on the outside, but I can read her emotions through her eyes. She died and resurrected in her inner emotions. I look over to Ricky and his reaction is the best to see. He's chewing on his lower lip nervously, his cheeks were pink. 

My eyebrows go up because Ricky seemed just as nervous as Emmi.

Then I realize how much Ricky and Emmi were talking the whole time we were here. There was never a time where they separated. Emmi mentioned she has a crush on him.

No waaaaay...does Ricky have a crush on Emmi as her to him? 

Kian shoves the beanie in front of Ricky. "Chooooooose what you have to strip offffff." Ricky's face looked like he was about to pass out. "Oh god", he mutters while he picks up the piece of paper. When he unfolded it, Jc looks over his shoulder and burst out screaming. Same goes for Kian.

I take a quick peek and the paper and I almost choke on my spit. 

It said pants. 

Emmi gives me a frantic look, her eyes super wide. Before I can tell her anything, Ricky takes off his pants, only in his boxers. Emmi's hands start to shake. Surprisingly, no one else saw it, but I saw it as clear as day. Kian gets out the timer and waited for them to go in the closet. I see the size of the closet and there was very little room.

I watch as Ricky and Emmi walk in. There was barely any elbow room.

You know those people at dances where they slow dance and they leave NO ROOM for the holy spirit? It sort of looks like that, but it isn't super close. There's some room for the holy spirit, but not enough.

The last look on Emmi's face was scared before the door closed on them. My mouth must have been open from awe, because I feel someone's finger on my chin and push my mouth closed. My mouth was dry, so I had to smack my lips a few times to re-moisturize it. I hear Connor laugh, I turned to him.

"What?"

"Nothing. Your mouth was just open for a while and it looked funny."

I lightly shove him, and he laughs again. Kian's timing them and trying not to laugh. Jc turns to us, saying, "Seven minutes are gonna drag for a while, so get cozy." He winks at me and plops on Connor's bed.

I shake my head while smiling, and I looks at Connor. He's on his phone, scrolling through Tumblr. I mess with him and started tapping on his screen and scrolling through his feed.

"Hey! Not cool!" he yelps. I start laughing again.

He shoves me, hard enough for me to I fall backwards. I start laughing even more, so did he. I see Jc behind him with his hands outstretches. My eyes widen, realizing what he was going to do. Before I could even say anything, Jc pushes Connor from behind, causing him to fall on top of me. I made an "OOF" sound, sine he is heavier than me. I feel my heart race faster, getting scared that he can feel it against his chest.

His eyes make contact with mine, he is just as still as I am. His hands are on either side of me, but they were also half on my shoulders. My hands were against his chest so not all of his weight was on me. 

Damn.. he's fit... I look at his eyes, which was probably the worst idea I have ever made in my life.

Right when I look into his eyes I feel like time slowed down. Wow..his eyes are really pretty.... I felt my mouth slightly open in awe (again). I see his eyes flicker to my mouth, then he starts to blush. In a quick movement, Connor gets lifted by Kian.

"BRO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? ARE YOU IN A CHICK FLICK?", Kian hollers with a weird look on his face, mostly amusement.

Connor's face turns red as he stares at the floor. I giggle quietly and I sit up.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

The timer goes off. Kian runs to the closet and opens the door. Ricky bolts out super fast and sit back down quickly. I see beads of sweat on his forehead. That's from all the body heat? I thought suspiciously.

Emmi walks out and sits next to me. She's sweating too, and her face was really red. I looked at her with worry. "Um....are you okay Emmi?" I say quietly so the boys wouldn't hear. Emmi looked at me with wild eyes. "Anything but okay describes about what just happened."

I guess how my face looked urges her to continue.

"It was so awkward! At the same time I loved it because I was in the closet with Ricky, you know how much I like Ricky. The only thing I hated was how hot it got in there. Geez it's like a sweat house. I feel bad for Connor's clothes too."

I shake my head and pats her shoulder. "You enjoyed it didn't you?"

Emmi's face turns even more red. "I did to be honest, but I think he enjoyed it a bit more." I was about to ask her why, but then I remember the amount of room they had in there and how close he was to her and that-

Oooooh...

I don't want to finish my thought.

Kian sits back down. "You guys look like you had fun in there", he says suggestively. Ricky glares daggers at him. I glance at Emmi, whose face was basically a tomato. Jc shoves a pillow to his face to conceal his laughter. Kian faces Connor. "Con da Bon! it's your turn. Spin it!" Connor exhales deeply and spins the bottle. It felt like an eternity as it slows down each second.

When it finally comes to a stop, it lands on me.
