One Love:

Last Time:

Ginn heard Tala's deep chuckle at the look of death Kai shot at her as they threw their shots back in unison, she couldn't help but notice the look of what seemed to be pleading that Kai gave Tala as he went to pour the second set of shots.

She knew there was something that went on with the redhead and the Russian that she wasn't supposed to know about, and naturally, she was more than dying to find out exactly what it was. She wondered if she could get the two drunk enough, if one of them would maybe spill the situation… with some "convincing" of course.

Chapter 17:

Dangerous Games: Part One

The heavy humid air of the late night hung heavy over the city, the cars were becoming scarce on the streets as the local bar rats and hoodlums found their ways into the local clubs and bars scattered throughout the city. It was the first night of the first weekend of the of new school semester which meant pretty much everyone that attended the little college would be getting wasted tonight.

Ginn, Tala and Kai were no exception to this stereotype; the world spun around them in wild colors that once resembled the small living room of Ginn's tiny, messy apartment.

The three sat in the center of the room on the ash covered floor around the coffee table, each pair of bloodshot eyes staring intently at the single shot glass full of clear liquid in front of them.

"Wait a second, who's turn is it now? I got confused…" Ginn's voice was slurred and heavy with liquor, she couldn't even recall how many shots the guys had made her take at this point, but she did know she was losing this game, and badly.

"You're such a little lightweight, it's yours. Now hurry up and throw it so we can get you more fucked up and take advantage of you." Tala responded, the haughtiness in his voice was almost so convincing that Ginn wasn't sure if he was being serious or not, although she wouldn't put it past him.

"I hate this game; I always loose!" She whined as she flipped the quarter she was holding between her fingers sloppily onto the table and sighed with shame as it flew right over the shot glass and landed in Kai's lap.

"Jesus, you really suck at quarters, Pinky." Kai's own drunken tone cut in. The bluenette laughed at she threw another stray quarter at him in anger, her eyes narrowing as he caught it cleanly between his fingers.

"Fuck your face jerk," She mumbled as she flipped him the finger, "Let's play a different game. This time I wanna pick it!"

"One day I'm going to take you up on that, watch it." Kai laughed as he nabbed the shot glass and downed the alcohol like it was water. " What does our little pink princess want to play?"

Tala snorted as Ginn went to punch Kai's shoulder but missed and fell onto the ground next to his leg. The red head couldn't help but smile at them, they really were a delightful pair went they were fighting like little children.

"Ah, what the hell!" Kai jumped as he felt Ginn's wet tongue touch his calf, causing an even bigger chuckle from Tala. "Why the fuck would you lick me, you crazy woman?"

"You deserved to be put out of your comfort zone for that stupid little princess comment you made, dumb Romanian." Ginn smile through her mass of black and pink hair that nearly covered her flushed face.

" I know you're all wasted right now, but you're an idiot." The Russian laughed out as he pushed her back into her sitting position. "Hey Tala, you remember how to play poker right right?" She asked as she regained her composure.

His icy blue eyes narrowed at her in suspicion, " Oh of course I do, I remember how well you do at that one. Texas hold'em strip." Tala laughed snatching the empty shot glass from Kai and filling it once again.

Kai caught a wink from Tala, he didn't know exactly what was going on, and had he been less drunk he probably wouldn't have agreed, but he was practically plastered at this point and simply nodded in agreement to the game.

Tala quickly explained the rules, each round a piece of clothing was bet, and each round the losers had to remove the article of clothing and also take a shot. Little did Kai know, that this game happened to be one of Ginn favorite drinking games, Tala on the other hand was well aware of what was going to happen next.

After the first few rounds Kai was already almost too drunk to see the cards in front of him, not only that, but he was missing his shirt, both socks and was about to loose his pants. He looks across the tiny table to Tala, who equally missing clothing and then to Ginn, who was only missing her shirt.

"This game… is not… what's that word… fair! You wear more clothes than us!" Kai mumbled in accusation, the liquor really taking its toll on his brain at this point, his Russian accent seemed to be getting heavier with each dink.

Tala simply put his hand on Kai's shoulder in mock comfort, the strange new heat on his bare skin causing him to jump a little. A chill ran down his spine as he stole a quick glance at Ginn to see if she noticed his reaction to Tala's flesh.

Her golden glazed over eyes stared into his own half lidded orbs with a sense of triumph at the confirmation that Tala did make Kai more nervous than normal. Ginn was absolutely determined to find out why.

"Fine ya big cry baby, lets take one more round of shots and then go find weed!" She stuck her tongue out at him in a childlike fashion as she poured the three their shots.

"I should have warned you she's kinda a bitch at poker." Tala laughed as he allowed the alcohol to fully take its affects on his brain.

"…Wait so then… this was pretty much just a game to get my clothes off?" Kai questioned throwing back his shot, he eyed the almost empty bottle. He figured he should go grab another one from his own apartment before they started smoking again, and maybe stay there with the way this night seemed to be going.

"Pretty much, you figured us out." The red head laughed as he stood up and downed his drink, "I shall now go find your weed, wish me luck in the hellish beast that is your room." Tala joked as he stumbled lazily down the hallway and disappeared behind the door to Ginn's bedroom.

"On that note, I have another bottle for us in my apartment, I'm going to go grab it." He stood up to leave but was caught but Ginn's small hand on his elbow. He looked down into her bloodshot eyes and trailed down to her soft pink lips thinking of how they must taste like the liquor that had just passed them. "Delicious." He whispered almost to himself.

"Before you do that, mind if I ask you something'?" Ginn asked, standing up to close the space between their bodies. Her fingers laced themselves in his discarded shirt on the table beside them.

"Well, I don't think you'd take no for an answer would you." He smiled, as he laced his own fingers in-between hers on top of his shirt. They paused for a moment as they heard Tala drop something and curse loudly.

"Nope." The golden-eyed girl replied as she turned away from him, taking his wadded up shirt with her. "You and the blond cunt, should I be worried about it?" Ginn asked, knowing she really might not want to know the answer.

"Do you really want to know the answer to that sweetheart? " Kai said with slight sarcasm as if he read her mind. "You know curiosity killed the cat and all." Ginn felt a chill run down her back as he came close enough for her to feel the heat from his breath dance across her cheek.

She threw her hands on her hips nervously, " Well, I'm holding this hostage till you tell me!" She huskily replied as she pulled his t-shirt over her head. It was a few sizes too big and Kai had to stop himself from swooning over how cute she looked in his own shirt.

Kai chuckled trying to compose himself, "My relationship with Hailey is about as worrisome as it would be if I was dating Tala." He flashed her a quick wink and a drunken lopsided smile and took off to the front door.

"That's not comforting you know!... AT ALL!" She called after him, stumbling a bit as she fell haphazardly onto the sofa, she couldn't tell if he was being serious or not. She perked up a bit as she heard Tala's foot steps coming back down the hallway.

"What's not comforting? Oh, well now look at this…" Tala questioned as he took in the sight of the small girl on the sofa in front of him. He could feel his inner Casanova dying to expose itself as his blue eyes raked over his best friend's body curled up in Kai's shirt with an annoyed look on her face.

"Nothin' Kai being … well, Kai." Ginn replied absentmindedly; her yellow eyes found Tala's own icy eyes, seeing the lust and want inside them, she found an opportunity for her underlying agenda.

It wasn't uncommon for Ginn and Tala to try and seduce one another for information, especially when it came to gossip that neither wanted to share, and Tala being as drunk as he was just made it that much easier for her.

Tala sat down next to her on the couch, setting down the little box of weed and papers down on the table and opening his arms to allow her to cuddle into his chest as she began to sloppily roll a few joints. She figured she had just enough time to get an answer about Kai from him before the Russian in question came back into the apartment.

"Hey dollface, you know I love you more than anything right?" Ginn cooed as her fingers twisted the ends of the paper and the green herb into little cylinder shapes.

"Yea, yea, what do you want?" Tala asked as he buried his face into the crook of her neck affectionately. His lips lightly began to nip at her skin causing tingles to run across her scalp. It was almost hard for her to concentrate on her plot to interrogate him.

" Just to ask a simple teeny tiny question." She said as she finished rolling her third joint, still allowing her friend to nibble affectionately at the delicate skin on her next. She felt him nod slightly against her skin, " What did you do with Kai earlier?… And don't deny it, I heard ya'll talkin'." She asked with accusation laced in her tone.

Tala chuckled lighting into the crook of her neck, his short hot breaths causing wave after wave of tiny tickles to run across her spine. His fingers grabbed on of the freshly rolled joints and help it up to her eyes.

"Just ask him what a 'power hit' is." The red head winked and grabbed a lighter and lit the little while cylinder and stuck it between his lips. Ginn almost couldn't believe how easy that was.
