Experience Me

Chapter 19

"I should get back." I say through quick breaths. He snakes his arm around my waist and flips us over so that I am under him.

"Maybe if we stay in here, they'll leave." I laugh and push him off. Hand in hand, we walk out to find Devin on the couch watching TV and Gabi in the kitchen rummaging for food. I release Silas' hand and join Gabi in her search. Deciding on chips and dip, we join the guys in front of the TV. I sat between Silas and Devin while Gabi sat on Devin's other side. However, Silas had other plans and pulled me into his lap. I look over and find Gabrielle and Devin staring and I blush sheepishly. Gabi giggles, but Devin's scowl is set firmly in place.

I sit and listen while they catch me up on their lives, adding the occasional commentary. Silas remains quiet. The tension in the air is obvious and it's becoming suffocating.

"How about we all play a game?" I suggest. Silas scoffs and I elbow him in the stomach lightly. He ,in turn, applies pressure with the hand resting on my waist and begins tickling me.

"Stop it," I manage to say through laughter and he relents.

"What kind of game?" Gabrielle inquires.

I sat thinking for a moment before making a decision. "Never have I ever. Start with 10 fingers. One person starts with "never have I ever,", of course, and if you have, put a finger down and take a shot. If you haven't, no shot." Once everyone reluctantly agreed, I went to the kitchen and came back with four shot glasses and two bottles of tequila.

"I see you're going with the hard stuff." Devin says as we all take our positions on the floor.

"It's been a long day." I laugh and begin filling the glasses. "Alright, who's going first." I smile giddily.

"I'll go." Gabrielle starts. "Never have I ever questioned my sexuality," she taunts while looking at me and I laugh incredulously.

Taking my shot and putting down a finger, I spot Devin holding back a laugh and Silas watching me. I blush and look away.

"Okay, my turn. Never have I ever sneaked out of the house." Everyone ,except me, put down a finger and took a shot. I shook my head at each one of them before filling the glasses back up. "Devin, you go."

"Never have I ever had sex in a car." The only one taking a shot this time was Silas and I looked at him with shocked eyes. He simply shrugged with a cocky grin before clearing his throat.

Now everyone had 1 finger down and it was Silas' turn.

"Never have I ever..." He paused for a moment before giving me a look that was almost apologetic. I was about to ask why, but he finished before I could. "fell in love with my best friend." Devin was visibly tense as he raised the glass to his lips and poured the contents down his throat. His stare was deathly set upon Silas. Gabrielle was also nervously taking a shot. I look to both of them curiously. A part of me knew that Gabrielle had feelings for Devin. She always looked at him longingly when she thought no one was watching, but I never thought it could be love.

Silas' face was cool as he engaged in a staring contest with Devin.

"Am I missing something?" I ask impatiently looking between Silas and Devin. Silas is the first to give me his attention and the look on his face is completely nonchalant.

"Devin, would you like to tell her? Or shall I?" I look over to a fuming Devin. I reach for his hand, but he snatches it away and stands up. Silas is quick to follow. Testosterone in the room was at an all time high. Silas and Devin. Face to face. Eye to eye. If looks could kill, Silas would be six feet under. His stance was collected and causal, but there was no mistake in noticing the build different between the two. Devin worked out and could possibly hold his own, but Silas was clearly the superior of the two.
