Chapter 4: I SHIP IT!!!

John

I knocked on Angelica's door and waited for her to open it. I turned to Alex.

"So, Lafayette, Herc, Peggy, Eliza, Angelica, Maria Lewis, Aaron Burr, and Theodosia Bartow are gonna be here."

He nodded. Alex doesn't talk that much when he's around me. Does he think I'm annoying? I really hope not.

The door opened and Angelica answered. "Hey guys!" she said. "You're the last ones here, we were waiting on you."

I looked down with a slight blush on my face. "Sorry Angelica."

Alex and I walked into her dorm and threw our selves on a small circular couch.

All the lights in the dorm were turned off and some purple Christmas lights were hung around the perimeter of the living room.

Herc and Laf were sitting on the couch drinking vodka out the bottle. I nudged Alex. "They're totally gay for each other."

He snorted.

Angelica came out of the kitchen with an empty bottle.
Oh Jesus.

"Alright everyone on the floor!" I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I hate spin the bottle, it's so childish.

All 10 of us got on the floor in a big circle.

Angelica spun the bottle first. I watched as it spun, nervously hoping it didn't land on me. To my relief, it landed on Herc. Angelica leaned over and gave Herc a quick peck on the lips.

A few spins later, Laf and Herc were drunk, making out on the floor.

Peggy laughed. "As much as you two may want it, I don't want to guys having gay sex on my floor!"

I laughed a little at this. Herc and Laf sat up and rolled their eyes. "Putain de chienne," Laf mumbled under his breath.

It was Eliza's turn to spin the bottle. I had only kissed Peggy, which was good. It was weird because Peggy is my best friend and I don't swing that way.

The bottle finally made a stop. I looked down to see who it landed on, and when I saw, it felt like my soul left my body.

Alexander
The bottle landed on me. Oh my God, how?!

I scooted closer to Eliza and I felt my heart race. I took a deep breath and kissed her gently on the lips.

We both pulled away. Her face was madly red with blush. I got settled back into where I was sitting and look at John. He looked shocked. And sad? I've barely spoken to him since we got here.

I spun the bottle and watched it go around and around. Finally it stopped, and my God was I scared.

I looked beside me at John. He looked down at the bottle then back up at me. His whole face had gone red. I started to lean in and he did too.

Finally I felt our lips touch closing the gap between us. This is the first time I'd ever kissed a guy before. I mean, I kissed a lot of girls.

We finally separated and everyone looked at us with socked expressions.

There was a long and awkward pause before Peggy finally said something. "OH MY FUCK I SHIP IT!"

*le tim skip brought to you by Gay™️*

At about 4:30 A.M. John and I stumbled back into our dorm. John beyond drunk. We didn't talk since we left the party and I felt very nervous around him. But I'll admit, he can kiss good.

"Hey Lexi~" he said leaning into me. "Let's go to my room." I could smell the strong scent of alcohol on his breath.

"John, we've barely even known each other for two days," I said as he pulled me down on the couch and started trying to kiss me.

"I don't care," he said and smashed his lips against mine.

I pulled away. "J-John, quit."

He moved his lips to my neck and started leaving marks on my collar bone.

"John~"

He stopped suddenly. "I'm tired," he said and got up.

I watched him walk to his room and shut the door. I sighed and went to my own. I fell against the door and put my head in my hands. I-I think I have a crush on John Laurens.
