"What are you guys doing here?" Rory asked. He didn't have his shirt on and there was a visible bulge in his shorts from his erection. I could feel myself blushing.
"It's the second Thursday of the month," Connor said.
Rory just stared at him.
"It's Throwback Thursday, man," Jackson said and lifted up a case of beer.
"Oh, right." He scratched the back of his neck. "Sorry guys, I forgot."
The four of us just stood there in silence for a second.
"What is Throwback Thursday? Do you guys like look at old pictures and drink beer?" I asked, trying to break the silence.
"No, we just drink beer and watch whatever game is on T.V." Connor walked in and sat down on the couch.
"Isn't that just Thirsty Thursday?"
"Well we used to call it that. But Jackson always gets really drunk and starts talking about all his exes."
"I don't do that." Jackson laughed and sat down in the chair next to the couch. "It's called Throwback Thursday because we literally throw back tons of beer. No reminiscing."
I looked up at Rory.
"Sorry," he mouthed silently at me. He sat down on the opposite side of the couch as Connor.
"Okay, well I'll let you guys watch your game or get super drunk or whatever it is you actually do." I was so horny. I couldn't just sit there next to Rory. I wish he had just told them to leave.
"Oh, no, Keira, you can join us," Rory said. "There's a Phillies game on. I know you like watching all those sexy players." He smiled at me.
"I um..."
Connor turned around and handed me a bottle of beer.
It would have been weird if I hung out in my room. Especially when I had skipped out on poker night. "Okay." I grabbed the beer, walked around the couch, and sat down between Connor and Rory.
Rory turned on the game and then put his arm behind me on the couch, without touching me.
Jackson looked back and forth between us again instead of turning toward the game. Jackson smiled at me. "Okay, I just have to ask. Is something going on between you two? Because you know I hate feeling like I'm out of the loop. And Keira's basically part of our group now. If two people in our group are hooking up, I feel like everyone in the group should know."
Rory moved his arm off the couch behind me. "Keira's not really in our group. She hasn't even had the induction yet or anything."
Connor laughed.
"Yeah, that doesn't really answer my question," Jackson said.
"What is the induction to your group?" I asked, hoping to change the subject.
"There isn't really..."
"You have to blow one of the group members," Connor said, cutting Rory off.
I could feel my face blushing.Haven't I already been inducted then?
"I knew it," Jackson said. He clapped his hands together but missed slightly. It seemed like he had already had a few beers before coming over.
"Whatever, guys. You all just admitted that you're gay," I said.
"No, we just tricked you into admitting that you and Rory are hooking up," Connor said. "Obviously original members don't have to do the initiation. Just new female members. So really just you. And maybe we should change it to blowing two group members." He raised his eyebrow at me.
