"so, do you want a drink?" danny asked me. i cant really drink alcohol, it makes me feel so nauseous.
"i wont have any alcohol, i'll probably just have water tbh. i can pretend its vodka if elysia wants a fight." i replied. danny got me a red cup and filled it with water. each sip was so refreshing. i got off the counter i had been sitting on and went to hug danny. his hugs are like finding a stray french fry at the bottom of the bag. same energy.
he swung back and forth, and i was tempted to close my eyes, but then i heard
"we are playing 7 minutes in heaven, wanna play?" gabi asked, rushing in the room. she looked flustered. she was clearly a bit drunk, her cheeks were bright red, and her lipstick was smudged slightly. sumns up.
"yeah! im down for 7 minutes in heaven!" i said. truth is, i have never played it. i let go of dannys hand and walked over to gabi. i put my arm over her shoulder and led her out the kitchen, but i didnt take her into the main room. i stopped in the hallway.
"whats up with you?" i teased.
"nothiingg.." gabi replied, she smiled and turned her head to the main room.
"nah gab tell me, whats the tea?"
"i made out with kio" gabi replied. "but you cant tell ANYONE" she said it so excitedly. my precious gab.
"no way!" i replied, acting happy for her. i was happy, and i liked danny a lot, but i still thought kio was cute.
"i guess we better go in and play, you never know who the bottle will land on.." i said, winking at her. she laughed, put her arm round me and we went into the main room. i sat down on the arm of the sofa, next to where danny was sitting. gabi entered the circle with an empty beer bottle.
i looked around for any familiar faces. i spotted elle, who smiled at me and ran over to sit with us, cleo, who did the same. then, kio. kio. hes even cuter irl. ahh but gabi can take him they look good together anyway.
"aye so you all know how the fuck this works i assume, lets get it started!" gabi called out. most of us quietened down, and gabi spinned the bottle. the suspense was killing me. it came over our direction, slowed.. slowed.. and slowed.
and slowed.
and then, it stopped.
in front of me. fucking beer bottle. i really didnt want to kiss anyone unless it was danny. or kio. everyone exploded into sound, and gabi nodded to the bottle. i reached out and flicked my wrist to spin it. i sat back on the arm and prayed to god it wouldnt land on anyone i didnt want it to.
i heard everyone erupt into laughter, shouts, and cheers. i opened my eyes that i had kept shut, in efforts to not see my fate. my eyes traced the head of the bottle, up to the person in front of it. i was met with familiar eyes staring back at me.
