Eternal Love

Chapter Five - Spin the Bottle (Keefe)

I knew that Stina was being sincere, but the emotions swirling around Dex were very odd. Anger, resentment, stuff like that, but that wasn't the confusing part. What really confused me was the sense of longing, like Dexinator was expecting something from a long time ago.

I shook the wrongness off, and looked straight at Sophie, who was laughing at something Bangs Boy said or did. It made me feel a little jealous, but I could tell that Sophie was really happy. I wanted what was best for her, and if that meant that she was with Tam, then I was okay with that. I could even feel the smallest amount of love radiating off her. I smiled sadly, knowing what would happen if I didn't tell her.

I turned away, and saw Biana. She was really pretty, especially in her black and pink dress. "Hey, Bi," I called to her. She turned around and smiled. Gosh, her smile was so pretty. Maybe I could handle living without Sophie after all. "Hey, Keefe," she said back, then suspicion grew inside of her. "What are you up to? You only use that nickname when your about to do something ... gross." I laughed at her choice of words, and mocked a hurt look. "Can't I just say that I think you look beautiful?" Biana blushed. "Shouldn't you be telling your girlfriend that she looks beautiful?" She wondered, emphasizing the "girlfriend."

I looked sadly over at Sophie, and explained to Biana. "My girlfriend has someone else to compliment her." Biana followed my gaze and made a silent "Oh" shape with her mouth. "Does she like him?" She wondered. "No," I replied. Not wanting to say it out loud. "Whenever Sophie's near Tam, I can feel the smallest amount of ... love. And it grows every time." "Oh Keefe, I'm so sorry," Biana comforted. "That's okay," I responded. "You should probably tell Sophie," she suggested.

"Tell me what?" Sophie came up and I thought about a lie to tell her. "That you look beautiful," I finally said, giving her a peck on the cheek. She rolled her eyes. "You look handsome as well Keefe Sencen." Biana's eyes suddenly widened. "We should play Spin the Bottle!" She squealed. Sophie turned pale and raced out of the room, taking her shoes of along the way. Biana huffed. "Keefe, would you please go get your girlfriend, I'll get the others." I rolled my eyes and smirked.

I found Sophie in Biana's room, already dressed in her tunic and pants. I shook my head at her and smirked. "Do you not want to kiss me?" I asked her, making her turn around in surprise. "Keefe! I didn't realize you were in here!" Foster replied nervously. "Ouch, I didn't know that I was that forgettable." I touched my hand to my heart. The horrified look on Foster's face was epic.

"No! Sorry, I didn't mean it like that," she apologized. I chuckled. "I'm kidding," I told her. "I know what you meant." She blew out a relieved breath and gave me a quick kiss, which I instantly deepened. When we finally broke away, I took Foster's hand and led her back downstairs. "Let's go play Spin the Bottle."

When we got back downstairs, both Stina and Dex were back and there was mallowmelt on the table. It looked like Biana already got an empty bottle of youth to play. I could tell that Foster was still dreading the game, and I gotta admit, I kinda was too. You never know who you're going to kiss. Biana explained the new rules that she came up with and we all agreed that they were fair: #1 If you were a couple, instead of kissing, you had five minutes in a room together. #2 if the bottle lands on someone of the same gender, that person can choose for the spinner to spin again, or not. #3 if you get someone you are related to, you have to kiss on the cheek. #4 no using teleknises. #5 if the majority votes in favor, the two people have to go in a closet and do it. We decided that Biana should go first, since this was her idea.

I was really interested in who she would get. We waited as the bottle spun and spun and spun, until it eventually ended on ... Wylie. Ew. (A/N: Don't worry, there will be no Wylie+Biana.) Biana shrugged and gave him a quick peck. His dark skin had a tint of red when she was done. Wylie spun and it landed on Maruca. It was kind of boring, save for the squealing from Biana, so I'll just say who got who.

Maruca --> Jensi --> Linh --> Dex -(again, eww.)-> Stina --> Fitz --> Sophie --> Maruca --> Marella --> Tam --> Linh --> me --> Sophie.

It was Foster's turn, and I needed to check something. I glanced at Biana with a pleading look, and it seemed that she had the same idea. She nodded, just as Foster started to spin. It spun really fast, thanks to me and Biana. We let it spin for awhile. "Wow, I didn't realize I spun it that hard," Foster commented, but I ignored her, slowing the bottle of youth when it passed her. It kept slowing down until it landed on Tam.

A/N: hi guys! I know that this was a short chapter, and maybe I'll start writing shorter ones after this. However, the next chapter will be ing Sophie's point of view. There's nothing else too important to add in here, so bye sweets! Love you!
