Jamie grinned as everyone said they'd join in. He didn't know why he'd been so worried about this, everything was fine. He took another mouthful out of his drink, as the circle tightened a little. Part of his brain told him that maybe he should ease up on the drink a little- and another part of his brain told that part to shut the fuck up, the alcohol was the only reason he wasn't off in the woods having a panic attack over something stupid.
"Oh, we can use this," he said, pouring the last of the bottle of Coke into his cup and setting it on the ground. He topped his cup up with a little more vodka, before leaning in and spinning the bottle. When it came to a stop, it pointed at Alex.
"So, Alex. Truth or dare?" Jamie asked. Alex thought for a second. "Truth. I'm not drunk enough for dares," he answered with a grin.
"What's your biggest regret?" Jamie asked, sipping at his drink. Alex thought for a second. "I dunno. I don't really regret that much," he said, laughing a little.
"Bullshit, you have to say something," Ellie said, elbowing him. "You're telling me you've never regretted that tongue piercing?" She asked, winking at him a little. "Sometimes. Wait, I have one- the band I was in when I was 19, we were all going to get tattoos. We all got the band's logo tattooed somewhere on our bodies, and I got it on the back of my shoulder blade. I ended up getting laser treatment on it a year later after the band broke up because it turned out that the drummer was banging the singer's sister and there was a huge argument and yeah. So I regret getting that tattoo." Jamie laughed and nodded, indicating the bottle. "You spin."
A model. She was a model, and she was still hanging around Nate. That was bullshit. She definitely had guys falling at her feet in France, and here she was with him. Ellie found herself tempted to tell Sky everything about Nate- but was Nate even hiding from Sky? If he wasn't, why the fuck was she with him? Ellie had barely been able to stand him as a friend. Benefits or no benefits.
She laughed at Alex's story, fixing her pony tail as she did so. She didn't feel like Sky was a threat any more- after all, she clearly had no clue about why she was there. She came across as a little naive, poor girl. Ellie would really need to sit down and have a good talk with her and warn her away from a certain somebody. And Ellie didn't need to compare to her. They were nothing alike- it was like comparing a field of flowers to a wildfire.
She grinned and leaned in as Alex spun the bottle. She resisted the temptation to raise her eyebrows as it landed almost squarely on Nate. "So, Nate. Truth or dare?" Alex asked.
