Page 27 of Rules Of Our Own

I have to remind myself Misty is actually pretty cool to stop the jealousy from taking over. “Nothing to share.”

“Leave her alone, guys.” Sidney comes from behind me and hands me a fruity cocktail. I take a deep drink, sending her a thank-you with my eyes.

She just smirks. “Plus, she’ll spill once she’s ready.”

Not liking where that’s going, I redirect the conversation. “So what’s the plan?”

Shana’s the first to answer. “Drinking games.”

I groan, knowing I’m totally screwed.

It takes less than an hour for me to feel tipsy and to sway a bit where I sit. Somehow, in the hours I’d spent here, we’d forgotten to eat. The rest of the girls aren’t any better off than I am, giggling the entire time. We played beer pong, where Piper beat us all soundly, which left her the only one remotely sober. Apparently, it’s not the type of game you play with someone who grew up with all guys.

Sidney throws back the rest of her drink. “Let’s play never have I ever.” Her eyes meet mine before moving to Piper’s.

“No way.” Piper sits on the couch on my left and Sidney on the right. I’m squished between them, reminding me a little too much of my earlier car ride. I clear my throat.

Shana laughs and leans over her knees. “Piper played with Lucas once and accidently admitted no guy had managed to get her off. He then proceeded to do it. Repeatedly.”

Piper turns bright red, and Sidney laughs. “Yeah, this is happening.”

“Never have I ever kissed anyone in this room,” Misty adds with a smirk, clearly knowing something.

Both Shana and Piper drink. I raise my brow, and Piper shrugs. “What? I was experimenting.”

“Worked out for me.” Shana blows a kiss her way.

Shana cracks her neck and looks at me. “Never have I ever fucked one of my guy friends.”

I’m the only one not to drink, and I’m suddenly grateful that my last shred of willpower held out.

Sidney squints at me. “You’re telling me you never, with either of those boys?”

I shake my head. “Nope.”

She collapses back into her chair as if I just dropped something that altered her known reality. “I’m not going to lie, I’m kinda disappointed. I thought you were hooking up.”

Piper smirks. “You and everyone else.”

Misty leans forward. “Never have I ever gotten off in a public place.”

Piper, Sidney, and I all drink.

Misty squeals. “Details now!”

“Not the way it works,” Piper quickly adds.

Misty’s quick. “Never have I ever gotten off at a restaurant.”

Piper groans and takes a drink.

“Never have I ever gotten off in the same place as anyone here,” Shana adds next.

Piper drinks, and Sidney scrunches up her face before taking another sip. “We weren’t nearby.”

Both my brows raise. “Wait? Was it me?”

She flushes bright pink.
