Quiet and demore - that is what guys want, right?

The party is pretty lame to be honest. Kenny – Jenna’s desired beau for the night – seems like a nice guy and he has decent body, but has no idea how to treat people. He did get us drinks when we walked in and complemented Jenna on her outfit, but since then has only been playing beer pong with his roommates. Jenna and I talked for a bit, before she left to try to get Kenny to pay her more attention, leaving me alone on the couch. Chatting with the other people here wasn't leading to much, and watching Jenna she seems to be having as much luck as I am.

By my third seltzer, I started looking for reasons to leave – this party was dull and not going anywhere. It may only be like midnight – but it’s not like I needed anything after the last few days, and while Jenna needs something, it doesn’t seem like Kenny would be the one to do it. But, looking over to the beer pong table, I didn't see them.

Leaving the couch, I figure that anything must be more exciting than this - so I set off to find my roommate. However, in my search for her – I find something else. Something a bit more interesting.

“Hey, you want to join?”

I look over to where the question came from and see a table – about 6 people, 4 guys and 2 girls. A bunch of cards and drinks scattered on the table.

“What are we playing? I’m down if I know what’s going on.” Figured giving Jenna a bit more time wouldn’t be a bad thing.

“Kings, simple drinking and card game. Here, take my seat, and Chuck can explain while you let me get you another one.” A cute boy in jeans and a baseball cap jumped up and pushed me towards the table before running off towards the coolers on the porch.

Next thing I know, I have a new drink in my hand and am playing the game. Not really sure how it goes, but people take turns pulling cards and other people drink. I drink went told and soon it is my turn. I grab a card and it’s a Jack. “So Jack, what’s that mean card lord?” I say looking over to the guy on the couch whose been the only one to know the rules… or at least the one making them up with full confidence.

“Never have I ever – say something you want to do, but haven’t. Anyone who has done it drinks. If no one drinks or everyone drinks – it means you suck and you have to finish your drink.”

“Well I don’t suck… at least not without being asked first.” I turn and wink at jeans boy. “But fine, I can do this. Never have I ever….” I hold and look around the table, “gotten to spank someone on their bare ass.”

I look around the table and two guys and one of the girls take a drink. But jeans guy doesn’t. I smile at him and move over to him, “Maybe you could change that tonight.” I whisper in his ear.

However, he doesn’t take the hint, and nothing happens. A few more rounds of Kings, then a different game, and even with endless hint towards jeans boy – nothing else. I was waiting for some version of truth or dare to push him to do something – but it wasn’t meant to be.

By the time the third game started, Jenna heads over and says its time to leave. Seems we both are heading home - lonely and needy.
