Taylor POV
We joined the rest of the group downstairs, the boys had managed to drag a few helpless girls into the situation and had begun to play drunken party games.
Spin the bottle was the current game.
"Hey Tay are you joining in?" Jake, one of me and Cole's friends asked.
I glanced quickly at Maya as if to ask for her permission, she gave a silent nod.
"Yeah we'll play." I answered, walking up to join the circle that was now gathered around the kitchen island, a bottle placed directly in the middle.
"In that case, you can go first." Jake smiled, extending his hand towards the bottle as if to invite me.I spun the bottle and watched closely as it began to slow down, it landed on a random guy that Cole must've knew. He wasn't bad looking, his muscles pushing out of his shirt and his head was extremely too small on his shoulders but he looked manageable. I was used to guys like that.
I leaned over the table, wasting no time I placed both my hands behind his neck. He looked like a deer in headlights as I pushed my lips onto his before he could do anything about it, I moved my lips automatically and held the kiss for around 5 seconds before pulling back and joining the rest of the group.
It felt strange, to kiss a different pair of lips after getting so used to hers.I felt Maya uncomfortably shift next to me, so I reached out and grabbed her hand as reassurance that it meant nothing.
"Okay, now lets see what Taylor's girl is made of." Jake exclaimed with a smirk.
"She's not-" But I was cut off by a tight squeeze on my hand, whilst Maya reached over and spun the bottle.
I watched as it spun and prayed it wouldn't land on a girl, I mean I wasn't the jealous type but- who was I kidding I was the extremely jealous type.
It landed on someone much worse. Cole. His face immediately beamed into a smile as he looked at me with mocking eyes. I debated saying that Maya could not kiss him and that was that. Until I realised that she didn't need someone to control her and it was only fair to let her play the game as well, so I watched as she quickly locked lips with him, I was sure between the three seconds their lips were connected I had seen him try to push his tongue into her mouth. Which angered me slightly. Luckily she immediately pulled back from. I smiled at the thought that she didn't enjoy it.
A few more rounds of the game had us seeing all types of things. Girls on girls, guys on guys, and the game was getting pretty tiring to be honest.
"One more round guys I want to play some real games." Cole shouted as if he could read my mind.
"In that case I think it's only fair I take this go." A unfamiliar voice appeared, just entering the kitchen. I turned around to see who the voice belonged to and was met with an unpleasant surprise.
"Jess?" I blurted out.
"Long time no see baby." She winked at me.
"Woah what's going on here?" Jake stupidly asked, as Jess made her way over to the table standing directly next to me.I met the older blondes gaze as she blatantly scanned up and down my body, licking her lips from time to time, her gaze made me feel guilty of something, and I shifted uncomfortably. She was a pretty girl, she had extremely bright blue eyes, slightly tanned skin and a well toned body. She was quite intimidating which was what had attracted me to he in the first place.
"Me and Tay have a history don't we dear?" She answered, her voice cold and her tone slightly sarcastic.
I felt Maya's hand remove itself from mine as she crossed her arms. The room went cold afterwards, as I began to feel uncomfortable.
"What're you doing here?" I asked, ignoring her previous question. I didn't date many people in the past, and the people I did date were absolute assholes, but if I had to pick the worst ex I'd had, it would have to be her.
