"what the f*uck....liv, I'm dead serious , you know I won't hide anything from you" I defended

" How would I know " she teased and I rolled my eyes playfully and we both laughed

As Olivia and I continued our conversation, laughter bubbling between us, Alex suddenly appeared at our side, a playful grin on his face.

"Hey there, ladies," he greeted us, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Having a good time?"

I nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "Definitely! Your party is amazing, Alex," I replied, feeling a surge of excitement coursing through me.

Olivia chimed in with a teasing grin. "Yeah, except for the bomb you dropped earlier," she teased, nudging me playfully. "Care to explain?"

Alex chuckled, his gaze flickering between us. "Ah, that," he said with a shrug, his expression teasing. "Just thought I'd have a little fun with you two. Keeps things interesting, you know?"

I rolled my eyes, feeling a mixture of amusement and frustration. "Well, consider us thoroughly entertained,"I quipped, shooting him a playful glare.

Alex grinned back at me, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Glad to hear it," he replied, his tone light.

Olivia raised an eyebrow at Alex, her expression turning curious. "So, is there something going on between you and Elena?" she asked, her tone playful yet probing.

Alex chuckled, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Well, Liv, if you want something there , I'm not going to say no," he replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

I scoffed at his response, unable to suppress a laugh. "You wish," I retorted, rolling my eyes at his cheeky remark.

Alex feigned offense, placing a hand over his heart in mock dismay. "Ouch, Elena, that hurts," he replied, his tone dramatic. "No one's ever rejected me like that before."

I couldn't help but laugh at his theatrics, shaking my head in amusement. "Oh, please," I replied, unable to hide my grin amd we all laughed .

Alex stretched out his hand to me with a playful grin. "Care to dance, Elena?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

I glanced at Olivia, silently seeking her approval, and she nodded with an encouraging smile. With a laugh, I took Alex's hand, letting him lead me to the dance floor.

We moved together in sync with the music, laughter bubbling between us as we twirled and swayed to the beat. Despite the initial awkwardness, there was a sense of ease and familiarity in our movements, as if we had danced together a thousand times before.

After a few exhilarating moments, we made our way back to our seats, flushed with excitement from the dance. Alex wasted no time in ordering drinks for us, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Alex leaned back in his chair, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he proposed his idea. "Alright, ladies, how about we play a game?" he suggested, his voice laced with excitement.

Olivia raised an eyebrow, skepticism written all over her face. "What kind of game?" she asked, her tone wary.

Alex grinned, his enthusiasm contagious. "How about we play first to get drunk?" he suggested, a playful sparkle in his eyes.

I hesitated, unsure about the idea. "I don't know, Alex," I replied, uncertainty tugging at the corners of my mind. "That sounds like a recipe for disaster."

But Alex was undeterred, his persuasive charm in full force. "Oh, come on, Elena," he urged, flashing me a playful grin. "Where's your sense of adventure? It'll be fun, I promise."

Olivia looked at me with a shrug, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt to play a little game," she conceded, a playful smirk tugging at the corners of her lips.

With a reluctant sigh, I nodded, giving in to the infectious excitement of the moment. "Alright, fine," I relented, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "But no cheating, Alex."

Alex chuckled, raising his glass in a mock salute. "Scout's honor," he replied, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Alright, folks, let's up the ante," he declared, his voice laced with enthusiasm. "Drink if you've ever... kissed a stranger on a dare!"

Olivia's eyes sparkled with amusement as she lifted her glass to her lips, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "Oh, you know I've got a story for this one," she admitted with a laugh, her tone tinged with mischief. "It was back in college..." Olivia shared her story

I chuckled, taking a sip of my drink as I nodded in agreement. "Ah, yes, the infamous spring break escapades," I replied, a fond smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "Those were the days." Alex also drank .

With the ice broken, it was my turn to pose a question. "Alright, let's switch gears a bit... drink if you've ever... snuck into a movie theater without buying a ticket!"

Alex laughed, his eyes dancing with amusement. "Oh, that takes me back," he confessed, a nostalgic glint in his eye. "There was this one time in high school..."

Olivia grinned, joining in the fun as she took a sip of her drink. "I think we've all been guilty of that at some point," she remarked, her voice filled with playful camaraderie. "The thrill of the sneak-in is half the fun!"

"Alright, it's my turn now," Olivia declared with a playful grin. "Drink if you've ever... stayed up all night binge-watching your favorite TV show!"

Alex and I exchanged amused glances before both lifting our glasses in response to Olivia's question.

"Guilty as charged," Alex admitted with a laugh, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

I nodded in agreement, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. "Oh, absolutely," I replied, recalling a particularly memorable TV marathon with a sense of fondness.

"Cheers to late-night binge-watching sessions!" Olivia exclaimed with a grin, raising her glass in a toast.

We all joined in, clinking our glasses together with a laugh, the sound ringing out in the lively atmosphere of the party and we poured the alcohol into our mouth together.

As the laughter subsided, With a mischievous glint in his eye, Alex leaned forward, ready to inject some cheeky fun into the evening.

"Alright, let's make this cheeky," he declared, a playful smirk dancing on his lips. "Drink if you've ever... had a crush on a celebrity!"

Olivia's eyes widened in amusement as she lifted her glass to her lips, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Oh, you know I've had my fair share of celebrity crushes," she admitted with a laugh, her tone tinged with playful embarrassment.

I chuckled, raising my own glass in agreement. "Who hasn't fantasized about sweeping a Hollywood heartthrob off their feet?" I remarked, a smile playing on my lips.

And we continued the game , drinking alcohol, Alex started asking more cheeky and flirty questions which made Olivia to drink more. Olivia is a mother f*cking b*dass queen. That was the last thing I remembered .
