Getting Back in the Mood

We make our way back into the living room to find everyone sat on the floor and... Rob and Anya kissing? Am I drunk again?

"They're playing spin the bottle." Elise points to the empty vodka bottle on the floor. Wow, we leave for 5 minutes, and they've regressed to slumber party games. Rouge, Trish, Rob, Skye, Anya, Henry, Gabriel, and Kara all sit around the circle. Huh, I guess Gabriel's back, when did that happen? We've really been out of the party.

Skye waves us in. "You guys wanna join?" She asks. Not especially, I kind of like kissing Elise, I'll stick with that for now. I look to my girlfriend who doesn't seem particularly interested either. I shake my head and I sit down on the sofa. Elise sits next to me before throwing her legs over the arm and resting her head on my lap. "Fine, you two can be the independent adjudicators, we've had some... Disagreements..." She explains.

"It wasn't a disagreement, I'm just saying, if it doesn't do a full spin it shouldn't count!" Kara argues. Skye looks to me, expecting a resolution.

"Nah, I'm with her, otherwise it's not random." I decide. Ooh, I like this power. Elise points up to me in agreement.

Since it landed on Anya last, it's her turn next, she spins and lands on Gabriel. Jasper said our party was lame, but where else can you see your sister's gay ex-boyfriend kiss your brother's lesbian ex-girlfriend? Party of the year. I need to slow down on the wine.

Anya and Gabriel's kiss looks as awkward as I expected, but it now meant it was his turn, with the bottle pointing at... Rouge. Well that's...

"Eh, not like it's the first time." Rouge jokes. Yep, make it worse, that'll work. Honestly, they look kind of sweet kissing, I can sort of see why she was so broken down after... Well, everything. "Now, who's feeling lucky?" She considers, looking at the various faces with a deductive smirk. She spins it, only for it to land on herself. "Spin again?" She asks, the anti-climax thick in her voice.

"I think a forfeit." Anya decides, "Otherwise it's just boring. Judges, you decide." She adds, nodding to me and Elise.

I look to Elise's face, still resting on my lap. "I'm biased, this one's on you." I offer. Her face changes from serenity to evil genius in a flash as she ponders her options for a moment.

"You have to let Skye feel you up." She lands on a punishment. Skye offers a fist bump to Elise who reciprocates. What a wing-woman. I suppose it's technically a bad idea, since she's still betting on Trish sleeping with her, but after our chat with Trish that bet feels a bit void.

"Fine, you get ten seconds." Rouge states, pushing her chest out

"Twenty." I counter

"Et tu, Scarlet?" My sister exclaims with a disapproving look my way. I didn't need to do that... But I couldn't resist. I don't know if Skye's felt anyone else's boobs before, but she sure seems to be having a good time. Twenty seconds of Rouge feigning disgust later and it's time for a new spin. It lands on... Skye. Well that's just funny at this point. "Fucking fine!" Rouge growls as she yanks Skye in for a rough kiss... Which she sure doesn't seem to mind.

After breaking the kiss Skye fans her blushing face. "Wow, I feel like I need a cigarette." She comments as Rouge rolls her eyes. She looks disappointed. I wonder who she wanted it to be? Skye takes the spin and it lands on... Rob? "No offence, but I'm gonna take a forfeit on that one." She announces. Can't say I blame her, but that means Elise and I have to get creative again.

Part of me wants to go easy on her... But then I think of how mean I was to Rouge, and everyone's expectation of escalation. I'm a woman of the people. "Alright, lose the dress for the rest of the game." I command. Raucous cheering greets my edict. It's good to be the queen. Skye looks at me with surprise, but then stands, pulling her dress over her head and dropping it to the ground. Clad only in lacy pink knickers and a matching bra, she looks back at me with pride in her courage as she sits back on the floor.

"Hey, if you want your girlfriend to see what else is out there it's your loss." She jokes... I think...

"Yeah... I need to be way more drunk." Rob announces, taking his turn and spinning. It lands on Trish, who seems excited to finally be in the game, even if her kiss with Rob looks about as steamy and passionate as queuing at the shops. Yeah, here's hoping Elise has forgotten about that bet, there's no chance of those two hooking up.

Trish almost falls over herself reaching for the bottle. With a decisive spin she lands on Kara. Now, this, she seems much more into, even if Kara doesn't seem convinced... By... Erm... Something?

How much have I drunk at this point? Either not enough or too much. I look down to Elise. She's fallen asleep in my lap. I've lost count of who's kissed who at this point... I think the only ones who haven't are Rob and Skye, but who knows? I'm not sure who started deciding the forfeits but I don't think I've said one for a while.

Elise is so pretty. Like, that's not fair. I just want to kiss her. Like, all the time. I wonder if she'll be annoyed if I kiss her now. Everyone else got a kiss, that's fair, right? Ow, it hurts to bend like this. But now she's smiling at me. Worth it. She's saying something... But I can't speak French... I should learn French. And mountain climbing.

"Alright Thelma and Louise, time for bed." I hear Rouge's voice as Elise is lifted up off me. Then I feel myself being pulled up... By Me!? Wait... That's Rouge... Duh... Why would I be carrying me upstairs? Or into my room? That's just crazy talk. Why is Trish in here? Is it time for a three way? I don't even know if I actually want to do that. I just want Elise to be happy. I love her more than socks. And I really love socks. She's just that good.

Oh there's Elise, she's tucked up in bed. Maybe I should be in bed.

"Yeah, sounds like an idea." Trish responds.

Wait.

"How much have I said out loud?" I ask.

"You have literally not stopped talking." Rouge points out, dumping me on my side of the bed. "Get her some water?"

Ha. Remember when I had to help Elise with a hangover and I got her water? And then there were cuddles. Hey, why is Rouge's make-up messed up? She looks like an angry clown.

"And a gun." She adds as Trish returns and hands me water. I think I did the out loud bit in my head again. or the other way around. Water tastes nice. That can go on the bedside table. Where's Elise? Oh... She's right here... Hello... I missed you...

Love you Moon.

Let's just stay here.

What more could I want?
