“Don’t be a pussy and take it.” I grab my own glass and bring it to my lips. Wren does the same, bringing her glass to her plump lips while holding my gaze. We tip our glasses back in unison. The cold liquid flows onto my tongue and down my throat, leaving a burning sensation behind.
Wren’s face scrunches up at the bad taste, but she quickly recovers. “That was a lot for one shot.” She giggles, handing me her glass back. I take it and set it onto the nightstand next to the bottle.
“You took that like a champ. I’m impressed.”
“Thanks.” She licks her lips, drawing my attention to her very kissable mouth.
“You are looking at me like you want in my pants, after all.” Wren grins at me suggestively.
I lean into her, so our faces almost touch. “Fucking you is always on my mind, bird, but right now, I just want to get drunk with you.”
“All right, big boy, pour us another shot then,” Wren quips boldly, surprising the hell out of me.
“As you wish.” I grin at her while pouring us another shot.
We take it as quickly as we did the first one, only this time Wren barely makes a face when swallowing the pure alcohol. “All right, I think that’s enough for me.”
“Only two shots, and you bow out?”
“Those were two doubles!” Wren exclaims, already slurring slightly. “We basically took four shots already.”
“You can do one more,” I challenge.
Wren laughs. “If I do one more right now, you’ll have to hold my hair back while I puke all over your bathroom.”
“We’ll wait a few minutes then.” I scoot up on the bed, so I sit next to her, both of our backs leaning against the headboard.
The vodka has left a warmth in my stomach and a fuzzy feeling in my chest. I close my eyes to enjoy my buzz for a minute while thinking about how to start the conversation we’re about to have.
Before I can muster up the strength to talk, Wren beats me to it with her own question. “Tell me something about you nobody knows.”
I open my eyes and turn to look at her. “You want to know my secrets?”
“I’ll be satisfied with just one.” She smiles at me.
I have to think about it for a moment. I’m torn between telling her some bullshit story or something real. Considering what I’m about to ask her, I know I need to be honest with her.
“When I was ten, I got obsessed with Rubix’s Cubes. I wanted one so bad. I bugged my parents until they bought me one. When I finally had it, it was so much harder than I thought. I got angry and smashed it into pieces.”
“Omg, that sounds so much like you!”
“Well, my mom wasn’t having it. She bought me a second Rubix’s Cube and told me to not give up on it. She said giving up is never the answer. If I want to do something, I should just do it. So I kept working on it until I could solve it behind my back.”
“Wait, you can solve a Rubix’s Cube behind your back?” Wren asks excitingly.
“I can,” I answer proudly. “Only takes me a few seconds to do it.”
Wren laughs so hard, she makes the whole bed shake. “That’s so random. I don’t even know why I’m laughing. I just can’t imagine you doing such a nerdy thing.”
“Nerdy, huh?” I turn toward her and start to tickle the side of her torso. She breaks out into a loud giggle, trying her best to scoot away from me.
“Sorry! I take it back!” she yells between laughing loudly. A sound I could get used to.
I stop tickling her and pull my hands back before I used them to strip her bare and fuck her raw. I have other things to do tonight.
“Let’s take another shot,” I say once Wren’s laughing dies down.
“OMG, why are you so adamant on getting me hammered? What do you want, Briggs? Don’t lie to me, please. I know you are up to something.”
