Dreaming of You

She walked over to the table where we were setting up and stood next to me. I put my arm around her and she melted under it. I watched Zack set up. He placed the beer, alcohol, shot glasses, and small snacks on the table. He poured Vodka, Tequila, Gin, Rum, and Whiskey into small shot glasses. He poured two lines of the five of them. The guys drum rolled on the closest furniture
"SHOT RACES" They collectively screamed. Some of the guys laughed.
"Okay. okay who's first?' Zack said. Calming the nine boys.
"I vote Alex" Rian screeched, everyone applauded in unison.
"Okay who is versing me?" I asked, removing myself from Serenity and approaching the table.
"I vote Serenity" Kylie yelled. The boys drum rolled, signaling they agreed to that consensus.
"Guys no, pick someone else" I said, I knew serenity didn't drink and this being her first drinking experience I didn't want her to overdo it.
"Why? It's fine" Serenity said. The crowd exploded in roars as she walked up next to me. I placed my lips to her ear.
"you sure?" I whispered. She nodded and placed her hands on the table, ready for the game. Man was she cute.
"Okay here’s how it goes! Winner goes onto the next stage, loser sits out. Winners compete in other drinking games. If you win that then you're the winner of the third annual AFTER TOUR DRINKING ARENA!" He yelled. The gang exploded again with cheering and laughing. There was nine people I brought plus Serenity and Kylie. Including me that makes twelve people total. This was going to be a long night.
"It's okay Honey, I know that you don't drink, I'll take it easy on you" I said, trying to mess with her. Serenity looked a little embarrassed for a moment before her face curled into a challenging expression.
"No need, I'll win regardless" she said, cocky-ness in her voice. The crowd let out a bunch of "ohhs" and a 'ha!' was heard.
"In your dreams" I said, placing my hands on the table to match her, my eyes locked on hers.
"Been there, done that, don't wanna go back" She said raising her eyebrows. Everyone erupted in laughter and I let out a belated sigh before laughing as well.
"Three" Zack said. Serenity hovered her hands over the first shot glass.
"Two" I winked at her and her eyes met mine, A slight smile crossed her face.
"One" she blew me a kiss and I blew one back. she was really out wacky, she was probably ready to show off.
"GOOOOO" Zack yelled. I got through the first three and glanced up at Serenity, who was doing her fifth. The guys cheered excitedly as she licked the bottom clean. We smiled wide and blushed. Sweet little Serenity had done her first drinking and she had been better than me, who'd have thought it.
"Serenity for the win! get her some snack age as we prepare for the following rounds" Zack said as everyone hooted and laughed, some high fiving Serenity. I grabbed a beer and some pretzels. Beer for me and pretzels for her. I should have had her eat first considering this was her first time drinking and I don't know how well she can hold her liquor.
Serenity's house had an open floor plan. Which meant that the front door led to the living room, the living room and kitchen we're connected with no wall separating and the only two doors lead, most likely, to a bedroom and a bathroom. Even the laundry room was right next to the kitchen with no wall.
I lead Serenity to the couch where she plopped down. She munched on some pretzels as I drank my beer. She placed her head on my shoulder and hummed the chorus to 'Dammed If I Do Ya". I placed my lips to her ear again and began singing that song to her as she hummed along. My face hurt from smiling and I'm sure hers did too.
The boys cheered loudly but they all seemed muffled between Serenity and me. She sighed.
"Ya know I always thought that I wasn’t good enough for anyone or really anything but now, look at me, I'm dating Alex Gaskarth" She said. Her voice already having that drunk tinge to it.
"You're more than good enough" I whispered. Lips still pressed to her ear.
"Damn right I am" She said, laughing. Did she just say Damn? oh my she is probably one of those overly personal superman kind of drunks, such as myself.
"Sweetheart I don't think you should compete anymore" I said, the next couple of 'games' weren't that drink intensive but I didn't want her hurt.
'Don't you want me to win? you dick, you want to win! well I've never won anything! anything in my whole life so I'm going to win this!" She exclaimed standing up.
I decided I'm not going to stop her, I'll let her drink and compete and do her thing. I'm disqualified anyway so I'll keep an eye on her, what’s the worst that could happen?
