Phoenix

Chapter 9

Michael looked around with a big grin on his face that made Kris want to back up quickly, "Seven minutes in the closet anyone, I called Phyre over?" 

"Jael is not playing that!" Kris replied vehemently, daring anyone to contradict her. Jael stepped forward and smiled mischievously.

"Oh I'm not playing, I am going to enjoy torturing you though." Kris glared at her little sister, and made a face at her, Jael's smirk widened. Just then the doorbell rang, and dread filled her, Kris hadn't been able to look at Phyre without intense fury, since she heard from Aaron what Phyre did, typically Phyre, Kris thought with fury.

"Hey, wait!" Kris called. Jak admitted Phyre into the house, as they all looked at her, "How about we do 'Never have I ever' and '7 minutes in the closet' combined?" They all smiled wide, and then Kris saw that Anu, Riz, and Sherry were with Phyre and she groaned. Thank the Lord that she had added 'Have you ever' in, or she wouldn't last the night. 

"I'll get the whiskey," Michael said as they all headed to the second garage. Amy and Mike had a second garage that had been formatted to be a relax room for the kids. They all sat on the carpet in a circle. Michael came in and sat between Sherry and Jak, Anu was to Kris's left, with Phyre on her right, Riz next to Anu, then Sherry, then Jak and Justin, and they were back to Phyre with Jael sitting on the table behind them, watching with a big smile filled with mischief. 

"How do we play?" Anu asked nervously. Michael put the bottle in the middle of the circle and turned to Anu.

"So it starts with 'Never have I ever', you've played right?" Michael asked. Anu responded with a nod of her head. "So every time you lose a round you take a swig of whiskey, then after someone reaches 5 you go into the closet with the person of the opposite gender closest to you in strikes, and must have no biological relation to you. What you do during those 7 minutes is up to you." Everyone laughed at that comment, as Anu tittered nervously. 

Phyre slapped her gently on the shoulder, "Just scream and we'll liberate you from one of these animals." Anu smiled, dimples showing. When she let loose and actually smiled she was quite beautiful, if she actually gave guys a chance she'd probably have a boyfriend by now.

"Oh come one! Don't hate on my sexuality!" Riz protested jokingly. Michael smiled at him, and put his hands up in the air in surrender,

"Wouldn't dream of it bro, but not all of us have the best of both worlds, besides we have some beautiful ladies here." Riz gave him a look,

"You mean my sister and her friends? The only one hear I want to kiss is Sherry." He smiled tenderly at her, and placed a hand on her thigh. She smiled, her blonde curls swaying around her as she leaned in and they kissed. 

After about two minutes of excessive mouth activity, Jak called, "Get a room!" They pulled apart, but Riz didn't remove his hand from her waist, as they both smiled mischievously at the circle. "We going to start?" Jak asked, his eyes filled with feverish excitement. 

"Michael you're first," Kris called, and he smirked,

"Never have I ever...... had sex." Phyre, Sherry, Riz, and Jak all took a swig. Kris turned to look sharply at Justin, he had never had sex yet Jak had? With his physique and strong silent type personality, she would have thought that he'd have had it already, guess not. His cerulean eyes' were bright with amusement, then he turned his gaze to her and raised an eyebrow. She smiled slightly and raised an eyebrow back. They both snickered silently not breaking eye contact, then it was Jak's turn.

"Never have I ever....... been rejected sex after kissing someone." They all groaned, everyone except for Anu, Michael, and Riz took a swig. 

"And you've never been rejected?" Kris asked, needling him.
