Make My Way

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Aria's POV

We were laying down on the ground now. I'm not sure who kissed who first but now it didn't matter. Our lips were moving together, only separating for us to breathe. His tongue was in my mouth and mine was in his. I couldn't even tell who's mouth was who's anymore.

We searched each other's bodies with our hands, but all of our clothes were still on. My hands felt the warm skin of his neck and found their way to the back of his head, feeling his hair again. His hands were slightly up my shirt, on my lower back, pulling me closer to him. It didn't take long for us to get to second. We moved with each other and sometimes accidentally bumped something like the wall or a chair or the pool table, but we didn't care.

I heard a low whistle and the lights turned on. The movie was over. Someone started slow-clapping.

"I think that was almost the best make out session I've ever watched," Xavier said from one of the stools at the bar. I was still practically on top of Adrian even though I know he had been on top of me for a good portion of the time. My entire body was laid flat against his.

I sat up and straightened my shirt. "Shut up."

Xavier raised his hands in mock surrender. "Just saying. It's true. Probably one of the longest too. Almost half an hour. I first noticed when I heard someone kick a chair." I glared at Adrian. "That must've been after a while though because Vivian said she saw you guys talking almost ten minutes and then you both leaned in and kissed each other, so it probably started out slow. I only watched the last ten or so minutes. You should be glad I stopped you. We don't need anyone doing anything they're going to regret on the first night we're here, now do we?"

I rolled my eyes and stood up. I saw the others sitting in the living room area eating some popcorn. They had made popcorn and we hadn't even noticed. I waked over to the couch and plopped down on top of Stella. She made a small squeak and pushed me off. "Let's do something," I said.

"Well you and Adrian were doing something but if you want more, okay," Xavier said sarcastically as he walked over.

We all gathered in a circle and held up ten fingers. "Nothing sexist, okay?" Stella reminded everyone. A wave of nods flowed through the circle.

"Never have I ever had a boner because of a girl," Merrick said, "I guess I never got to that point."

All the girls smiled smugly as they watched Xavier, Blake, Easton, and Adrian put a finger down.

"Never have I ever...." Aurora thought for a moment, "had a second kiss," she decided.

I rolled my eyes and put a finger down and watched as Xavier, Adrian, Stella, Willow, and Blake put fingers down as well. I was still doing better than those three boys.

It was Stella's turn. "Never have I ever gotten to second base." Xavier, Willow, Blake, Adrian, and I groaned in unison.

"We all know Aria and Adrian have to put one down," Xavier felt it necessary to comment. I almost slapped him.

"Never have I ever gotten to third base," Easton said. Very original, I thought. The same five people put a finger down. I had seven fingers left. Xavier, Adrian, and Blake had six.

Blake said, "Never have I ever.... flirted or cried my way out of getting a ticket." I never should have told him that story.

I put a finger down and saw Xavier do the same. I raised an questioning eyebrow and he shrugged. "He was gay."

We laughed and Willow went. "Never have I ever gotten to second base with more than one guy. Or girl, Not at the same time though," she clarified. I put a finger down and so did Xavier and Adrian. Apparently I was the only one Blake got to second with. Five left.

"Never have I ever gone all the way," Adrian said. Xavier put a finger down.

"Never have I ever traveled out of the country," Xavier told us. Stella, Merrick, Blake, Willow, Adrian and I put one finger down. Then it was my turn.

"Never have I ever dated someone without kissing them before we started officially dating," I said. I saw some people hesitate and think for a minute. Then, Stella, Xavier, Easton, Vivian, and Merrick put down a finger. Xavier only had one finger left up.

"Never have I ever French kissed someone," Vivian told us. Adrian, Xavier, and I put fingers down.

"I'm out," Xavier exclaimed, "I have done the most stuff out of everyone here."

We kept playing and Adrian was out next. Then me and Stella and after that, Blake. It was down to Aurora and Merrick.

"Never have I ever had a cat," Aurora said proudly as she won the game.

"Oh come on!" Merrick yelled. We laughed and finished off the popcorn.

"Well I know we spent all that time getting settled into rooms but now it seems like we have to change that. Xavier, you can sleep in my room with me," Stella said, "But the rest of you need to figure it out. There are a few couches but none of them are very good shaped for sleeping so do what you want." She went upstairs with Xavier.

The rest of us looked around at each other and talked for a while before we finally figured it out. We figured that since there were three bedrooms on the upstairs and two in the basement and all three on the main floor could sleep two people and so could one downstairs but the other could only sleep one we could fit a total of nine people in those rooms but only five if each person had their own room. There were eight of us so two people would have rooms to themselves. We let Aurora take her own since she already had all her stuff in the room with the twin bed. That left seven of us. Between Blake, Adrian, Easton, Merrick, Willow, Vivian, and I, it took a little longer to figure it out. I decided that it was only right that Vivian and Merrick were together. Blake caved in and said he'd sleep with Easton. Willow looked at me and stared for a good twenty seconds.

"Dibs on sleeping alone." she ran off and took the last one person room. Which left me to sleep with Adrian. I was fine with it we went up to our room and fell right asleep.
