Playing With Fire

Loud music rang throughout the house, my bridesmaids were scattered between the family room and the kitchen, and I was laying down on the couch, freaking out. I am getting married, tomorrow. Tomorrow! My brain couldn't comprehend anything or create coherent thoughts.

"Hey Ever, we have a surprise for you," Val said in a sing-songy voice. I looked at her with an 'are you serious' look. She held her hand out for me and waved it around.

"Come on missy," she smiled and I sighed before grabbing her hand. She pulled me through the house and down into the basement. When she stopped me my mouth fell to the floor and I started laughing. In front of me was Eric, wearing nothing but a pair of really tight underwear.

"Oh my gosh Valary! I don't want to see Eric in that!" I laughed and bent forward. The music started and I just laughed.

"Come on, we need to have fun, get your mind off of tomorrow!" Michell laughed from next to Val.

"Come on Ever, get over here, let's dance," I heard Eric say and I stood there, laughing. Val pushed me and I stumbled over and Eric grabbed my arm.

"This is so not funny, it's kind of gross," I laughed and Eric shooed it and began swaying his hips.

"Ever, where's that wild, dirty girl we first met?" Val called out and I looked at her.

"Give me some alcohol and I'll let you know!" I laughed back and she chuckled.

"Alcohol you say?" Eric said and I turned to him. He was holding a really big cup/bowl of alcohol.

"What is that?" I asked.

"This is your favorite thing in the world," he smiled and it took me a second, but I got what he meant and my mouth fell to the floor.

"Get on your knees girl," Eric laughed and I just laughed as I got on my knees.

"What is this game?" Val asked.

"This is what we used to do when we got bored on a Friday night. It's called, Don't miss. All of this alcohol has to get into the person's mouth, if it doesn't, the person pouring has to drink the amount that didn't make it," Eric smiled and Val dropped her mouth.

"I don't think this set up is fair, Eric, you must be an expert at this, let someone else pour the drink," Michelle said and I looked at Eric and we both shrugged.

"We vote for Val!" I yelled and Val rolled her eyes and came over to Eric, taking the bowl from him.

"Remember, you drink what doesn't make it. Oh and, you have a minute and a half to get it all in her," Eric smiled and I bent backwards over the tub they set on the floor.

"And, go!" Eric yelled and Val began pouring the alcohol at me. I tried my best to get it, but she poured it too fast and my face was covered in alcohol. Some went in though and I began swallowing fast.

"Alright, done!" Eric laughed and grabbed the bowl and I bent forward, laughing.

"Ok, Val, you get to drink whatever is in this tub," Eric said and I turned to see a little bit of alcohol in the tub.

"That isn't that much," I said with a hiccup.

"Well, then that means you are going to get loud, soon," Eric said and I sighed while standing.

"Oh yeah. I wanna play beer pong," I said and Eric raised an eye brow before shaking his head with a smirk.

"Don't give me that look Mendez, I'm getting married tomorrow and I am freaking out on the inside," I said and Eric held his hands up and we all walked into the side room in the basement where Brian's beer pong table was set up and being filled with beer.

"Who are our players?" Val asked.

"Me and Eric," I said and Eric put his arm around my shoulder.

"Prepare to lose Glosen," Eric said and we got on our sides of the table. I was handed the ping pongs and I put on my game face.

"Wait, who do you think is going to win?" Val asked the other people in the room.

"Ever," "Ever," "Eric," "Ever," "Ever,"

"So we are betting on Ever, ok, go," Val smiled and Eric and I got to playing the game. I threw my pongs and he threw his. In the end, I drank six of the ten cups, while Eric drank nine of the ten cups.

"Whoo! I win," I did my winner dance, which consisted of me swaying my hips in circles and waving my arms around.

"Are you feeling the alcohol?" Michelle asked.

"Oh yeah," I smiled and began pulling my sweater off. Once that was off, I was in just my tank top.

"Let's dance Mendez," I said and Eric smirked before running around the table and wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Never run like that while in those," I whispered and laughed. We got out by the TV and there was already music playing. I began dancing rather dirty, while Eric shook his hips and waved his arms.

"Damn girl, I didn't know how dirty you could be," Val laughed and came over to dance with us.


We danced for a few hours while taking shots and slowly getting more and more drunk. I ended up in only my bra and underwear, with a blanket wrapped around my waist as a skirt. Their goal was to get my mind off freaking out, and they did it. Now, hopefully I'm not hungover tomorrow....

Notes

Ok, so maybe I lied. I decided to go right into the wedding chapters. And I admit, this one isn't the best. So sorry, but it's fun, and we get to see Eric in only underwear. But, the next chapter, which will come out tomorrow night, is the morning of and the actual wedding. So exciting! Only three more chapters before the epilogue. So many feels!

And I am revealing the winning hairstyle in the next chapter! Thanks to everyone who voted, and you can still vote until like eight tomorrow night.
