#Chapter 55: Spin the Bottle

Everyone went silent when Jessica

suggested that we play Spin the Bottle.

“C’mon, guys!” she said, her pretty face flushed from the beer. “It’s just a game.”

“I’m down,” Matt chimed in. Lori shrugged, which was usually a sign of consent. James, Enzo and I, however, all stayed silent.

“James?” Jessica said, shaking the bottle gently. “What do you say?” 1 wanted to groan, because I could tell that Jessica secretly wanted James and I to kiss, even though Enzo was there. Why did she get like this when she was drunk?

“Oh, alright,” James said, throwing his hands up in surrender. “I guess it could be fun.” His eyes flickered over to me briefly, and I could tell that the idea of us kissing made him a bit excited.

I wasn’t excited, however.

“I’ll play.”

Enzo’s firm decision took me by surprise. I looked over at him with wide eyes; he was staring right at me from across the fire pit. I couldn’t tell if it was just the light from the fire or his werewolf eyes that made his irises look red from here. Judging from how my heart started racing all of a sudden, I figured it was the latter.

“Yay!” Jessica said, clapping her hands lightly. “Nina, you’re playing, right?”

I didn’t answer for a few moments. I really didn’t want to, but between the peer pressure and the alcohol, I finally conceded. “Sure,” I said quietly.
