This is going to be interesting. I’m about to walk over to Kai when Stella sneaks out from under Dragon's wing, excusing herself to use the restroom. That’s what happens when you chug a bunch of alcohol really quick. Her absence gives me an in and instead I drag my feet to where Drake is.

“Reigning champ huh?” I sass, hitting him lightly on his arm.

“That’s what they say,” he murmurs, high fiving some dude that walks up to us.

“So that could have ended badly?” I add, raising a brow in question.

His gaze turns to me, dark, haunting, and completely vacant. Well that explains his ballsiness, the fucker is high as a kite and the red glossiness of his eyes is a telltale sign. “Harmless Jade, you know that, I’m harmless,” he teases with a wide grin.

I shake my head laughing at his playfulness, “The problem is I know just how dangerous you can be, Dragon,” but he doesn’t say a word. He just shrugs his shoulders, walking away just as Stella reappears, with an equally drunken gaze.

“Holy shit I’ve never peed that much in like my whole life!” she squeals, as laughter erupts from the both of us.

“That’s what happens when you break your seal. You’ll be peeing every ten minutes now for the next couple hours.” Her eyes bug out at my remark and I can’t help but laugh even harder. “It’s a joke Stella, relax.”

She lets out a loud sigh, “Okay well with you I never know Jade.” She turns back to the new group that’s now taken over her spot at the beer pong table. “Looks like Drake gave up our spot as reigning champs, oh well it was fun while it lasted. Oh my god!” she cries out quickly turning and grabbing me by the shoulders leaning into whisper, “Did you see Casey’s face, ugh she is such a bitch. She’s like my Kinsley, you know like you hate the bitch for always being around at the worst possible times hanging around your man.”

I raise a brow quizzically at her wondering if she realizes what she said or if it’s the alcohol talking. I’m fairly sure it’s the tequila.

“Yeah I guess you’re right Kai doesn’t even know I exist, I mean did you see how pissed off he looked.”

“I’m sure that had to do more with the fact that you were on Drake's team, in Drake's arms, and his lips were cozying up to yours.”

“Yeah I guess you’re right,” she sighs, stealing a glance to where Kai now sits sulking and pouting.

“So, what’s with the flirting Stella?” I ask, tilting my head up toward Drake. “I mean he’s obviously wasted, but you, you were sober when you started to play along.”

A flush appears over her cheeks as she shyly looks down at her fingers fiddling together. “Oh it’s nothing, just, I mean if Kai plans on having some fun with Ginger Bimbo Barbie, why can’t I?”
