Playing Games

'How many times have I told you to not call me. It's bloody two in the morning.'

I hear Benson on the phone getting annoyed but I can tell he is trying to keep his voice down so he doesn't wake me.

'No listen here Stevie you only ring me when Cole isn't well. That was the deal when you up and left. You don't get to ring whenever you want.'

Wait who is Stevie and Cole. Is he married and I'm just a fling when his wife doesn't wanna give him some. I shouldn't be listen to his conversation. What happens if he knows I'm awake. What happens if he gets really mad.

'Look I'm going. I'll call tomorrow. At a time that is decent.'

Benson says hanging the phone up and coming back to bed. I want to ask him who was on the phone but it's not my business. It's not like we are together. It doesn't take him long before he is asleep. But not me. Not now. I can't sleep. My brain won't shut off. Not after what I just heard. I get up throw on some clothes and head into the lounge room and curl up on the couch.

"Shhh don't wake her." I hear Amber say. "Don't worry I'm awake." I grunt out. "Cool come have breakfast with us. Blane has made pancakes." Amber sings out in a happy mood. Arrrr why is he still here. I get up slowly trying not to hurt myself. I take a seat at the table next to Blane. Not cause I want to but cause it's the only empty spot left. "So what are everyone's plans for today?" Benson asks looking around while filling his plate up. Amber and Blane say they have nothing planned as they start talking amongst themselves about what to do. "How about we have a board game day?" Benson says looking around to see if we are in. I don't say anything still thinking about last night. "Summer you in?" Amber says getting on her knees begging. I can't help but smile. I nod my head not wanting to talk with a mouth full of food.

We clean up and get ready for the day. I try not to talk to much to Benson nor Blane. And it's not easy that's for sure. We get through twister, pie face and hangman. But they start getting bored. "I have an idea." Blane says getting a smirk on his face. And a dirty one at that. "Yes what is it?" I question. "2 truths and 1 lie or truth or dare." Blane says smirking at me. "Definitely not truth or dare." Benson says. "Okay I'll start." Amber saying excited.

"I've kissed a girl. I want to go to college. And. Umm. Oh. I've only ever been with one guy."

"Right well the lie is you want to go to college." Benson says with testing eyes. She shakes her head. "The lie is you have kissed a girl." I say smiling at her. She nods her head and can't help but laugh. "Right Blane's go." Benson says with a hint of jealousy. That I can't help but notice.

"Okay this will be easy. My brother owns a strip club. I've sold drugs before. I'm still a virgin." Blane says looking at me.

"Right well the sold drugs is a lie." Benson says looking Blane right in the eyes. But he doesn't move. "No your brother owns a strip club. That one is a lie." Amber quickly jumps in. Blane turns and looks at me. "What about you Summer what's your pick?" He questions with a dirty grin. "Oh I don't know they probably all are a lie." I say knowing the trust and knowing that he is only trying to piss me off. And boy it's working. "Okay so the lie is me being a virgin." He says proudly. "Okay Summer's turn." Blane says looking at me.

"I've been mugged. I was seeing two guys at the same time, and they didn't know. I'm still technically married." I say knowing well that this well stump them.

"The seeing two guys at the same time." Amber says looking like a kid in a candy store, she looks that happy. I shake my head making sure to look at Blane when I do so, knowing well it will tick him off. "That you've been mugged." Blane says with a bit of anger in his voice. I shake my head. "Come on guys you really think I'm married, I've been engaged but not married." I say laughing the best I can. "Blane you should know that." I say smirking. "Wait why should he?" Benson says looking between us. "Oh haha yeah sorry I should have said this before but I guess it just slipped my mind. But his brother owns Tom's bar the one we went too. We all grew up together." I say making sure he gets my point. "Righto then Benson's turn." I say changing the subject.
