He is standing way too close to her knees, but there’s this tinge of hope that wades through the anger. I know what her body looks like when she’s completely comfortable. I’ve experienced the way she moves and the way she pressed herself into my chest and cock.

Sally’s not fully letting him in. Looking at it like a victory is stupid but I’m desperate.

The only reason I’m not marching over there and replacing him is because there might be a fight. Brandon looks absolutely enthralled by her. I think I’d be pissed if he didn’t look at her like that. But he also happens to be looking at the girl I’m interested in, so that’s his mistake.

I just need time alone with her. I should have talked to her while we were in Lansing, but I stupidly thought she’d stop avoiding me.

“What if we play seven minutes in heaven now?” Jade suggests, eyeing me.

Wait, when did the game end?

“That sounds like fun!” Piper exclaims, standing up quickly before stumbling a bit into Tyler.

“Why don’t you sit down, and I’ll get a clean bottle?”

Jade suddenly stands, giving me a smirk before marching over to the kitchen and right up to Sally.

I can’t hear what they are saying, but you can practically see the sweat drip down Sally’s face as Jade’s eager frame pushes Brandon out of the way.

Then, with a swift movement, Jade grabs onto Sally’s hand and pulls her off the counter and toward the living room. Brandon, like a lost puppy, follows after them, and now we are all sitting in a circle as Tyler brings a fresh bottle.

“Rules are simple,” Piper says. “We spin the bottle twice. The two people it lands on will then they go to one of numerous empty rooms and lock the door. Once seven—yeah, let’s go with seven—minutes pass, you come back. Or don’t.” With that, she wiggles her brow.

The game gets the full room’s attention. The circle fills out with more people I don’t know, but my eyes stay on Sally, who is directly in front of me.

And right next to me is Brandon. I’m really gonna punch this kid before the night is over.

Turns out he is a year below us, so he’s still in high school, but we literally graduated a month ago, so it’s weird to think about. Apparently, his mom runs a lot of the boards here in Alliance.

Tyler spins the bottle, and it lands on two people I don’t really know. I think we went to high school together, but I’ve just seen them at parties.

The bottle lands on a mutual friend, Kyle, and another boy. Kyle blushes as he remains unmoving, and the other guy laughs before lifting him up and over his shoulder.

“Have fun!” Casey yells after them before making kissing noises.

Everyone laughs, and honestly, this is pretty fun. The game goes for a few more rounds in between conversations. Piper and Ella are paired off as they waltz off to the basement, already laughing about something.

I love how the Reeds are slowly getting closer to my friends. Luckily, Casey never blamed Ella for the Jaxon situation.

I wish Sally would be a little more receptive to being a part of the group. When the girls brought her to the bash, she looked like a fish out of water.

Tyler and Jaxon go next.

“Hug me, brother!” They embrace and march off.

Then, the next round lands on Sally. Ice runs through my veins. There aren’t that many people left in the group.

At this point, I would rather the spin land on Jade than land on Brandon.

Sally taps her foot nervously before locking eyes with me. Something flashes through her eyes as she blushes and stares at the bottle.

I know she feels something. That reaction proves as much, but she’s not letting herself give in. I don’t know what’s holding her back, but I’m ready to fight whatever it is.

She spins the bottle, looking anywhere in the room besides directly in front of her. Right at me.

I watch the bottle intensely as it rounds a few loops and slows down.

The bottle lands right next to me, pointing at Brandon.
