In A Different Light

The Sleepover Part II

Beverly looked at Richie and chuckled. “Aren’t you gonna come in?”

Richie entered the house, sighing and laughing.

Bill went into the kitchen, laughing, and put the wine on the kitchen table. He then turned around and went back towards his parents' room.

When he got into their room, he went towards the bed, knelt down, lifted the floorboard and threw the toy back down into the floor before closing it, again. Before Bill went back downstairs, he went into the bathroom and washed his hands, not knowing if his parents even used the toy, yet. He didn't want to find out.

Bill dried his hands off on a towel in the bathroom then exited, turning off the light. He thought he heard something, but ignored it and went back downstairs with everyone else.

Beverly walked to the kitchen and looked for glasses. She finally found four glasses a few moments later. Beverly walked back into the living room to everyone else and gave each of them their own glass for the wine.

Once Bill came down from the bathroom, he went back into the kitchen and grabbed the wine. He took the wine to the sink, but then stood there and thought for a moment. He was going to pop the cork over the sink so he wouldn't make a mess, but thought it would be more worth the hype to open it in front of everyone.

Bill went into the living room with everyone else and stood in front of them with the bottle. "Should I shake it and make it more fun with a mess or just leave it with a loud 'pop'?" He asked himself in his head. He proceeded with his first plan and start shaking the bottle, thumb on cork. He eventually popped the cork off and laughed.

Joan raised an eyebrow when Bill walked into the living room with the wine and laughed when he popped the cork off.

Beverly watched as Bill came back into the living room and chuckled as he popped the cork off of the wine bottle.

Bill raised the wine bottle into the air, letting the warm bubbles fall down and over his fingers. "Who w-wants some!" He asked.

Beverly held her glass out to Bill so he could fill it up with wine.

Richie did the same as Beverly, grinning a bit. “Fill me up, Billy boy.” He said, doing one of his crappy accents.

Bill walked up to Beverly and started filling her glass. He filled it halfway and moved on to Richie, then did the same. "Did anyone grab me a g-glass?" Bill asked while moving to Joan. He then filled Joans glass.

Joan nodded a 'thank you' to Bill and peered her head over the glass.

“Oops, I grabbed four. I’ll get you one.” Beverly put her glass down and walked into the kitchen and grabbed another glass.

Eddie cupped the glass in his hand, shakily. “Are you sure about this, guys? I mean, my mom would kill me if I don’t already die from this.”

Beverly walked back into the living room and gave the glass to Bill.

Bill took the glass in his left hand and walked over to Eddie. He filled Eddies glass just a little over half, purposely, and smiled. "You'll be okay, Eddie. J-just don't tell her." Bill said before filling his own glass.

Beverly picked up her glass and sat down on the couch. She took a sip of the wine.
“It won’t hurt you, Eddie. Let loose; have fun.”

Eddie sighed as he watched Bill fill up his glass. “I guess...”
He sniffed the brim of his glass, scrunching up his face as a reaction to the new smell.

Bill watched Eddie sniff the glass as he walked to the arm of the couch next to Beverly. He then sat down and took a sip of his wine. It was new to him, as well, but he just took it in with little reaction to the taste. "Ahh." Bill said, like he was drinking a cup of refreshing water after a long bike ride.
