"I'm sorry but what the fuck does that mean Logan." I yell.
Logan chuckles, "nothing like what you're thinking. I want a date with you."
Both my jaw and Aly practically fall to the floor. Aly is gasping in excitement looking like a fish out of water.
"Team meeting for two minutes!" Aly screams and drags me away from the table.
I'm still shocked and slowly turning red at Logan's silly suggestion of me going on a date with him. Aly starts babbling immediately telling me that she knew he was interested in me. I'm not even paying attention until she smacks my cheek.
"OW! Why?" I exclaim still holding my cheek.
Aly grabs my face and presses her forehead against mine, "lets throw the game and let Logan take you on a date."
"No." I roll my eyes.
"Why not you sourpuss. Just let him get in your panties and make you feel all good for a while then kick him and his ego to the curb."
"Ew Aly I don't just want to be another one of Logan's sluts. My vagina is for the guys that I decide I want to give it too, and I don't want Logan anywhere near it." I plead with her.
"Ok fine. I can get behind that. While I am choosing to respect your decision I do not agree." Aly shrugs.
Giving her an exasperated sigh I turn around and start to walk back to the table. Watching Logan laughing with the guys and getting his cups ready I begin to debate on if I trust myself enough to win. Shaking the doubts from my head I head straight for Logan's side of the table.
"You're on."
He smirks slowly, "Ladies first."
He offers up two ping pong balls in his large masculine hand. Snatching them out of his palm I saunter around the side of the table to Aly making sure to sway my hips seductively. Maybe a little friendly teasing will distract him enough from the game.
"You guys ready to go down." Aly winks at Dylan who suddenly looks a little shy.
Looks like someone may have a little crush.
The guys say nothing but smile and nod as I step up to make my first shot. Someone yells from the next room which distracts both of the guys. I quickly bounce my ball off the table into one of their cups. If you're new to the rules of beer pong a bounce means I just took two cups.
"Wait what the hell?" Dylan looks down in confusion.
The smile drops off Logan's face, "well well I underestimated you Red."
Aly and I giggle, "there's a lot you don't know about me." I blow him a kiss.
Aly steps up and starts acting real confident. Leaning over and tantalizing the boys with her cleavage as she wets her ping pong ball in one of our cups. Slowly standing up straight she tosses her ball and makes it directly into the cup next to mine. That means balls back boys and girls.
The scowling is aggressive on Logan's face as he rolls both balls back to us and removes three cups from his pyramid. I go to take my shot when someone bumps my arm right as I released. My ball goes wide and misses. Now it's my turn to scowl as I stare down a fat cupid with five red solo cups of beer.
"Sweet heart you might want to keep those ugly faces in check or I won't be stabbing you tonight." Cupid sticks his tongue out at me and continues to walk away.
"Disgusting." Aly cringes.
"You guys going to flirt with every guy in the party or are we going to play?" Logan chimes in.
Dylan snickers, "don't worry Lexi I don't think Cupid will be coming to have you change him any time soon."
Aly and Logan begin to laugh at Dylan's joke while I continued with my unladylike faces at a retreating cupid.
We continue to play and soon realize that I had underestimated Logan and Dylan's game. We were down to one final cup on each side. It had to be at least four or five turns before Logan finally sank his ball into our last cup.
Immediately Aly and I are yelling, "redemption!"
Logan raises his eyebrows, "you only get two tries make them count doll face."
I square my stance and stick my tongue out of my mouth with intense concentration. I take my shot and... I missed. Frustrated with myself I kick the table leg and at that moment regretted it totally. It hurt like a bitch.
It's all up to Aly now. The whole room has quieted and was watching her take a deep breath. She took her spot at the end of the table. Now if you knew Aly like I did you could see when she would get an idea in her head. I saw the familiar glimmer of mischief in her eyes as she took her shot...
... She missed and the bitch did it on purpose. I'm putting all of her bras in the co ed dorm freezer at the end of our hall.
The room erupted in cheers. I know I'm beet red and ready to kill my best friend. All I can focus on right now is Logan's ever present smirk. We make eye contact and from the other side of the table where everyone is congratulating him and trying to play the next round with him. I can just barely hear him, but what he says to me is clear as day.
"I win and you owe me a date Doll Face."
Rounding the table all I can think about is kicking him in the balls, but that'd be frowned upon. As I keep eye contact with him I decide that if he wants to play dirty than I can play his games. Sliding up next to him I take his hand in mine. I cant help but notice the look on his face.
A mixture of confusion and if I'm not mistaken nervousness. Do I make this hard ass motorcycle driving bad boy nervous? Well there's only one way for me to find out. Stretching up on my tip toes I lean into him and notice him start to shiver. I raise my hand to brush his cheek and whisper in his ear, "I can't wait to see what a player like you can throw together. I'm imagining hot wings, beer, and orange shorts?"
With a wink I let go of his hand and spin around. As soon as I'm fully facing away from him I spot Aly high fiving Dylan. Charging over I snatch the hand of a very scared looking Aly and make my way to the bathroom we passed shortly before our game had started.
"What in the actual FUCK were you thinking?!" I screamed as I slammed the door to the bathroom.
Before Aly can even open her mouth I hear someone speak up, "uhm do you mind if I just wash my hands and slip out before you claw each others eyes out?"
We both turn around to see a girl from Economics named Meg pulling up her shorts and flushing the toilet. Meg, Aly, and I all went to high school together. In fact we all used to be really good friends until Megs mom ran off with her personal trainer leaving her and her father alone. After that she distanced herself from everyone and took some time off school. Not that anyone could blame her.
"Yeah sure Meg. I'm sorry we didn't mean to just barge in on you doing your business." Aly said while moving out of the way.
"Shit Meg I'm sorry!" I started to apologize profusely.
Meg shrugged while washing her hands, "it's literally not your fault. I'm the one who didn't lock the door."
I hand her a towel and open the door for her apologizing one more time, "I'm still sorry I should have knocked first before barging in." Meg laughed it off and told me to shut up. Making her way out the door she spared Aly one last glance.
"I don't know what you did A, but Lexi looks ready to kick your ass so it must've been good." With a final wink she dipped closing the door.
"It's nice to see Meg making jokes and being sociable again after her mom." Aly remarked.
"It is, but I know you're just trying to change the subject you weasel. I know you threw the game on purpose so I'd have to go out with Logan." I deadpanned, "what happened to respecting my decision?"
"I said I respected it. Never said I was gonna listen. Look I know I'm a bad friend for that but Logan has shown interest in you for years Lexi. You refuse to give him the time of day believing he's still the player you knew Freshman yea-"
I don't even let her finish, "Aly that is not your decision to make. You know how he humiliated me then. I don't care if you think he's changed since then. I'm not upset we lost or that I have to go on that stupid date. I'm hurting because you knew I didn't want to throw it on purpose and you blatantly ignored that."
A look of recognition and guilt crosses Aly's face. I can tell she feels bad for what she did, but it's not like we can just go back in time a half hour.
"Alexis you're right and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I know I can't go back and undo my actions, but what I can do is crash your date and make it 10x more enjoyable." Aly exclaimed with that wonderful mischievous glimmer in her eyes that I would never get tired of.
I laughed with her and we hugged it out. We may step on each other toes sometimes but we would never stay mad at each other for long. I'm glad we can put this behind us and party out the rest of the night.
Somehow reading my mind, "Let's go get our mutha fuckin drank on biittchhhhh!" Aly yells.
Crashing out of the bathroom still holding each other somehow we find our way to the kitchen to do more keg stands and mix up drinks until we can no longer walk. Finally around 3 am we call an Uber back to our dorm and pass out still in our costumes to sleep like the dead.
Well at least we thought the dead was asleep.
