Larry spun the empty vodka bottle. We watched it spin in silence. It landed
on Donnie, who wasn't really paying attention.
"Donnie...dude..." Twitty poked him in his arm with one finger. "You gotta kiss Larry."
Donnie blinked, and sat with his hands in his lap, and waited, I guess.
"Man..." Larry mumbled, and crawled over to him.
Their romantic moment was quite amusing. They were both very awkward, and kissed quickly, being careful not to touch one another. Both of them wiped their mouths greatly after they were through, though their lips had barely touched. Larry was grumbling about how his rules were stupid and he wished he hadn't said that. I knew he had said it in hopes that lots of girls would be kissing, but forgetting that there was more than one male playing. Silly Larry.
When Bobby spun it landed on Ruby, and she kissed him passionately, despite herself, to try and make Larry want her or something by her displaying her kissing skills or making him jealous even. I don't know. We didn't have the same brain frequency. Mona landed on Monique, which brought many laughs, and Monique then had to kiss Donnie. Louis got Ruby, and Twitty got Mona. Ruby spun and ended up with Donnie, who was feeling very special by this time. Then Donnie spun, and got Larry. I thought Larry would back out, and I was hoping he would, but he didn't.
Tawny's spin came around, and I watched as the bottle turned around and around. I then realized that I failed to pray that when Tawny spun that it didn't land on me. I didn't want it to land on anyone else either. I don't know what I wanted, but to no avail, it landed on me. I watched it as it slowed down, and came to a dead stop right in front of me, pointing at me, mockingly. There was no way that I could pull off claiming that it had stopped on Larry or on Tawny herself. I almost thought that the strange girl had somehow done it on purpose because she wanted to kiss me. No way. I was losing it.
I swallowed hard, and watched Tawny as she did the same.
"Um...Ren..." She muttered, but stopped, and began to lean closer to me. My entire body tensed up, and she pulled back, saying, "I won't kiss her. Sorry. Let's just play Truth or Dare now."
Ruby groaned, "God, you're no fun at all."
"Do you always ruin parties?" Asked Monique.
"Yeah. Do you?" Mona reinforced.
"Lemme think. Yes, I do." She said, sarcastically.
"It figures." Moaned Bobby, leaning back onto the floor and stretching.
"Would you give her a break?" Louis snapped.
I was glad that she didn't have to kiss anyone else, and I almost wished that she had just gone and kissed me. In fact, I was almost disappointed that she didn't. I whispered, "Tawny, you're not ruining anything, they are."
She smiled, "I'm sorry."
I shook my head.
"Ren, I need to tell you something..."
"So tell me."
"I can't..."
Louis ran over and dimmed the lights, and Ruby put in a mix CD. Then Larry gave Ruby a beer, and got one out of his bag for himself. "Anyone else want one?" He asked, looking around. Donnie raised his had sheepishly, and he tossed him one, "Here's the rules for this," He said, "We're going to go in the circle, and everyone is going to ask everyone Truth or Dare. Each one of you only has one time to say truth because it just gets boring when no one does anything. Agree?"
Everyone agreed, and I started to notice what a superiority complex Larry had. There was his flaw that I found completely unattractive. It was always his rules for everything. He was the boss, always. He wasn't too bad of a boss or anything, but he just always had to be in charge. I wondered how long his sensibility would last if he continued drinking.
"Who wants to start asking people?" He asked.
"I'll start." Volunteered Donnie. He turned himself to face Tawny, "Truth or dare?"
Everyone got quiet and listened, "Truth..." she said, unsurely.
"You, Tawny, do you still have feelings for my little brother, Lou, over there?"
"No." She said confidently and surely, now.
"What?" Louis's face sunk, and he finally realized that they were done. He sighed loudly, and seemed very hurt, but accepting of it. He shook his head, "Larry, give me a beer."
Larry threw him one from the other side of the circle, and tossed one to everyone else too, except me and Tawny. He figured we wouldn't be much into it, and he was right.
"God...I wish he didn't drink...especially when he's upset." Tawny said to herself. "I wish he didn't do a lot of things..."
"Alright. Sorry Louis." He said with any emotion, "Now, Ren...Truth or dare?" Donnie asked me.
I sat quietly, Indian-style, and thought about all the things he could possibly ask me to do if I said dare. I didn't want to use up my one and only truth because the other people there would probably dare me to do something that I really didn't want to do. I sighed, Donnie was still not quite in his proper state of mind, which wasn't much to begin with, and I figured he wouldn't be able to come up with a completely awful dare, so that was what I chose.
He thought for a long time, putting his hand on his chin, and everyone else started to whisper amongst themselves because he was taking so long. I was beginning to think he forgot what he was trying to think of, but then he yelled, "I know!" But he paused, "Oh wait...no...Ooh! I know! Ren, I dare you to lick Tawny's foot."
"Errr...ok..." I scratched my head and looked at Tawny.
Tawny squinted, and looked at me oddly, but then her mouth curled into a smile that was very disturbing to me, and she took her tennis shoes off and threw them over by the door. Then she took her socks off in a provocative way, and everyone began to laugh. "My feet are clean." She told me, "And if I kick you in the face, I apologize ahead of time because it'll probably tickle, and yeah, I'll try not to kick you cus you have such a nice face and all."
I tried not to think much about the last part of what she said, "Ok...give me your foot!" This was almost enjoyable in a kinky sort of way, of course. Truth or Dare wasn't so bad after all, though licking someone's foot did seem a wee bit unsanitary. She stuck her right foot in my face and held it up. I stuck out my tongue, leaned forward, and then drug it from the ball of her foot nearly up to her toes. She twitched a little as I was doing it, but she didn't kick me in the face. I looked at her face and she bit down on her bottom lip so not to laugh, while others around the circle were laughing hysterically, and saying "Eww..."
I laughed, though I didn't see why it was all that funny,. It was just a foot. It wasn't like I was kissing her, not that I wanted to kiss her or anything. "Tawny, your feet are really sexy." I said, leaning my head onto her lap and looking up at her, grinning stupidly.
"Thanks Ren." She smiled, mischievously.
I don't know if I was joking or not, really, but Larry pointed at us and started yelling, "Ooh! I told you so!"
"Oh. Quiet you." I said, sitting up, quickly, and trying to recompose myself. I had to make everyone think I was drunk, didn't I? Or semi-drunk, at least to the point that I was hitting on Tawny. Yeah. That was it, I couldn't handle the tiny bit of vodka that I had, and I actually was drunk. That's why I was attracted to Tawny, but the attraction started before that. Someone must've put something in my drink at lunch today. No, someone put something in my drink at lunch a while back, and it was having lasting effects.
It made it around to Tawny's turn to ask everyone, and everyone but myself had used up their truth on the first round. I still had mine. In my self-convinced drunkenness, I had more of an ability to use my strategic logical abilities than all the other people. Half the people there didn't have those when they were sober, much less now.
"Truth or dare?" She asked me.
"Dare." I said, sure that she wouldn't have me do anything completely disgusting or anything like that.
"Erm...I dare you to..." She looked around the circle, contemplatively, "Kiss Larry." She grinned, hatefully at Ruby. She knew she liked Larry too. "No tongue though." She added, immediately. I don't know why.
Not too hard. I kinda wanted to make Ruby mad too, but I didn't want to kiss Larry very much, especially after he'd been drinking because it would taste like beer and I wasn't very fond of the taste of beer. I hadn't ever had any, but it smelled bad, so I assumed. I wanted to kiss Tawny, and I secretly hoped that someone would dare me to it later, but I kept pushing it into the back of mind and telling myself that I was drunk each time I thought about it. Without any argument I turned to Larry and we kissed for no more than two seconds before I backed off. I didn't want to kiss him, but I wanted to prove to myself that I liked kissing guys or something, and I couldn't do it. Not with Larry at least, maybe with Twitty. Maybe. That damn vodka had gotten to me, made me think I had feelings for a girl.
Tawny looked at me oddly when I was through because I turned and looked at her oddly maybe. She made her way around the circle, and didn't even bother to give anyone a choice to say truth, she just went around daring, and she did some nasty things to people, but I suppose she had every right, considering they were being rather mean to her. Louis and Twitty ended up having to French kiss, and Donnie took off all his clothes, and was forced to sit naked for the rest of the game until someone dared him to put his clothes back on, which was pleasing to the other girls there, but not me, or Tawny, who paid him little attention even when he was naked.
My turn rolled around, and before I told Larry his dare, I said, "Oh shit! Nelson didn't come!" Everyone blinked and looked at me. I felt terrible. I hadn't even noticed until now, and I don't know why I noticed, but I should have called him or something to see why. It was too late now though.
"Ren, he probably had an allergic reaction...or something,...and couldn't come." said Ruby.
"But he would have called..." I protested. I thought that something really bad might've happened.
"He probably didn't want to interrupt your party, he's considerate like that." Larry informed me, taking a gulp of his beer.
"Oh gosh...is there any cake left?"
Louis peeked behind him to where the cake had been, "Nope."
"Oh no..."
"He's probably allergic to it anyway, Ren." He said.
I sighed, "Yeah...anyway..." I focused my attention back to Larry. Donnie had asked everyone stupid truth questions, and had ruined my plans for Ruby, so I had to make the best I could of dares. "I dare you to tell me if you like anyone in this room as more than a friend."
He got quiet, as did everyone else, then he looked down and said, "Hrm...Yes."
Ruby gasped, very noticeably. I started making my way around the circle, soon forgetting about Nelson again, and I got to Ruby. I was rather no good at telling people to do nasty dares.
"I dare you to...tell the person in this room that you like, that you like them because we all know that you like someone here." I said to her, evilly.
She gasped again, and her eyes grew wide. Tawny sneered at her, and I chuckled a little under my breath.
"I...um...I...Larry..."
"Spit it out, Ruby!" Monique said elbowing her harder than she meant to, and knocking the air out of her. "Oops! Walk it off!"
"Yeah. Walk it off!" Mona echoed.
Everyone laughed, and she sucked in air, and managed to spit out, "I...want to...have...sex...with...you...Larry..."
"Awww!" Monique shouted.
"That's so sweet!" Mona squealed.
Larry cleared his throat, staring at Ruby, who was gasping for breath.
"Good one!" Tawny and I high-fived, and laughed loudly.
Her hand was soft. I pulled away quickly, and sat on my hands. I had completely stopped laughing abruptly. Quickly, I focused my attention back on my daring. I had to dare Donnie to put his clothes back on. I couldn't bare to look over there and see his junk all out, and his terrible tan lines on his legs. Monique and Mona protested, and Louis and Twitty thought it was hilarious that they cared that much about Donnie's nudity. To celebrate they shared a beer with them.
"Alright Tawny..." I squinted, and tried to think of a decent dare, when the other side of the circle started chanting to dare her to kiss me to make up for her not doing it when we were playing Spin the Bottle. "I dare you to..." I paused, and considered daring her to kiss me, but I was afraid she wouldn't do it, or she would get mad at me for doing what everyone said to do.
She nodded slightly. She was hard to read sometimes, but I swear that she wanted me to say it. I don't think anyone else saw her signal to me, but I, more excitedly than I had planned, said, "I dare you to kiss me!"
I winced. A silence of anticipation fell over the group, and they moved in closer, especially the guys, even my brothers. The dirty perverts. I had been taken advantage if in my drunken state! I didn't want to do this! It would ruin my reputation! It would make a lot of guys want me more, but I didn't want any guys! I wanted Tawny...well damn. I'd gone and messed with my own head.
"Donnie...dude..." Twitty poked him in his arm with one finger. "You gotta kiss Larry."
Donnie blinked, and sat with his hands in his lap, and waited, I guess.
"Man..." Larry mumbled, and crawled over to him.

When Bobby spun it landed on Ruby, and she kissed him passionately, despite herself, to try and make Larry want her or something by her displaying her kissing skills or making him jealous even. I don't know. We didn't have the same brain frequency. Mona landed on Monique, which brought many laughs, and Monique then had to kiss Donnie. Louis got Ruby, and Twitty got Mona.
