Emily watched the bottle as it span, and then as it began to slow down until it stopped on Spencer.
'Truth or dare' Emily asked
'Dare, obviously' Spencer replied cockily.
'Hmm', Emily thought, 'I dare you to', a devilish glint appeared in her eye, 'give someone in this room a lap dance'
The whole room burst out laughing, as Spencer rose up, wobbling slightly and made her way towards Aria.
'Everyone wants to see Sparia in action' she declared before standing between Aria's outstretched legs and placing her hand on her shoulder, slightly cupping her neck. Everyone watched on as Spencer slowly began dropping down in front of Aria's face before swaying her hips from side to side above her groin. Turning her head around she winked at her circle of friends.
'Enjoy the show', she smirked before returning to her spot, Aria staring wide-eyed into space. 'My turn to ask the questions now Emily' Spencer grinned, spinning the bottle rather enthusiastically and until she watched it land on one of Samara's friends, disappointment etched upon her face.
'Truth or dare?' she announced.
'Truth' Zoe, the blonde sitting next to Hanna, announced nervously.
'Umm, okay, have you ever had sex with a man?'
'Nope! I'm a gold star' she announced proudly earning a round of laughter from the group. 'Okay my turn' she says, reaching out to spin the bottle. 'Samara, truth or dare'
'Dare!'
'Alright, I dare you to do the cinnamon challenge' she laughed.
Getting up, Zoe walked into the kitchen and grabbed a spoon before rummaging around the cupboards and finding a bottle of cinnamon.
'Here,' she announces, holding out a spoon heaped with the brown powder, 'No water aloud'.
Taking the spoon from her hands Samara looked around at her friends before shoving the contents of the spoon in her mouth and attempting to swallow. Erupting in a fit of coughing, clouds of powder filtered into the air, cheered on by a roar of laughter from her friends who watched as she reached out to the remaining bottle of alcohol and took a swig to settle her coughing.
'You only said no water' she said, yet no one seemed to care and were still laughing at the way the clouds of cinnamon were expelled from her mouth.
Samara reached towards the bottle, brushing Emily's thigh with her hand on the way, watching it spin round and round until it slowed to a stop.
'Emily! Truth or dare' she asks excitedly.
'Uh, dare' she replies nervously.
'Kiss the person you most want to kiss right now' she announces.
'That's no fun, we all know she's going to kiss you' Spencer cut in.
'Well what are you going to do about it' Samara teases, puckering herself up as she saw Emily move yet her smile faltered as she saw Emily step across the circle and slam her lips against Hanna's, taking her by surprise.
Emily felt her world stop. She knew she shouldn't have shunned Samara like that, but the vodka running around her system told her differently. That everything would be okay if she did this. She could feel Hanna's lips begin to work against Emily's as the apparent shock had worn off and the gentleness with which she kissed her made her heart flutter until she felt herself being wrenched back by a hand on her shoulder.
'What do you think you're playing at' Samara demanded as she turned Emily to face her. The room had gone silent and all eyes were on the pair. From the corner of her eye she saw touching her lips, her eyes i thought. It brought a smile to her face knowing that she'd just kissed Hanna yet this wasn't the time and Samara's voice screamed in her ear;
'What are you smiling at, do you think this is funny. You just admitted you don't want me in front of all my friends.'
She saw tears forming in her eyes and guilt spread through her body in waves.
'I'm sorry-' Emily started before she was cut off.
'No, that's not fair. I thought things had been going great all night and then you do this. We're over'
Emily stood glued to her spot as she saw Samara turn around and walk out of the room, her friends running after her as she heard the front door slam shut behind her.
She didn't know what to do. She didn't know what to explain to her friends, how to tell the, what just happened, but then she heard Hanna's soft voice come from behind her.
'I think Emily needs some alone time' she said to Aria and Spencer before leading them past her, her friends briefly saying their byes and seeing them out the house. The dance music that echoed through the room seemed misplaced. Mocking. She'd changed what was a great night for everyone into an awkward shambles for everyone. What was she thinking kissing Hanna like that in front of everyone? She was such an idiot.
She heard Hanna's footsteps slowly approaching the room and saw her stop in the doorway, unable to quite meet her eyes.
'I'm sorry' Emily mumbled, not quite knowing what to do with herself.
'It's okay' she answered softly, her blue eyes watching compassionately as she edged towards her. 'Are you okay?' she asked. Not searching for an answer for what happened earlier but merely looking out for her friend, a friend for whom she cared deeply.
Emily shook her head, cupping her hands to her face and sat down on the sofa, her body beginning to shake as tears fell into her palms. She felt a pair of small, soft arms envelop her and the tickle of the blonde's hair on her neck as she leant in to secure her in an embrace. Emily felt herself melt into her arms and relax a little as she realised she wasn't disgusted with her actions, unaware that she was slowly drifting off to sleep.
