"In the most sexual way possible," Matt said and winked at me.
Rob choked on his bite of sandwich. "What? Gross, man."
Matt laughed and took a sip of his beer. "I was definitely kidding. However, I am not kidding about this. Never have I ever sucked cock."
I could feel myself blushing. "Why are you guys teaming up against me?" I took a sip of my beer. I could see Rob staring at me intensely out of the corner of my eye. Earlier he had said he wanted to see his cum dripping down my chin. Apparently he hadn't been joking around. I swallowed hard and my throat made a weird squeaking noise.
"Anxious for later?" Rob whispered.
I looked up at him. I did want to taste him. But I didn't have to answer his question, because James had one of his own.
"Never have I ever had sex at The Blue Parrot Resort."
"Lame," Rob said. He grabbed another drink from the tray and took a sip.
Matt and I also both took sips. I was glad to know that James and Mason were faithful. Maybe that meant Rob would be too. Not that we were dating. I really needed to talk to him alone. He was only going to be here for a few more hours and we had a lot to figure out. How could I get him away from his friends? By telling him you want his cum dripping down your chin. I took a bite of my burger to try and stop thinking with my hormones.
"Never have I ever been a teacher," Mason said. "Wait, no, that's a lie. I've just taught people things outside of a classroom."
Matt laughed.
I wasn't sure what was so funny, or what on earth he was referring to.
"Let me clarify," Mason said. "Never have I ever been a teacher at a school."
James and I both drank. He looked a little sad after he set down his beer. Again I got the feeling that he still wanted to be a professor. I just didn't understand why he didn't realize it. I glanced at Rob. He was staring at James too.
Rob cleared his throat. "Never have I ever been in love." Apparently he thought that statement would fix it. And I did see a smile cross James' face. Mason and James were the only two to drink.
I had loved so much. And so much had been taken away from me. I had never been in love, though. As much as I wanted it, I wasn't sure I could handle it. The thought of putting my heart in someone else's hands was terrifying. They'd probably just squash it. Rob would squash my heart. It already felt like he was. I was getting attached and he had such a casual air about him. He took showers outside because he hated how stifling a roof was. Love was stifling too. I knew my love would be, because I'd be so scared of losing it. I'd suffocate him. I needed to make this game fun again. I needed to not think about Rob leaving in a few hours.
"Never have I ever had a threesome," I blurted out.
Mason laughed. "I'm probably the most guilty of that one."
"With the girl you're going to propose to?"
He shook his head. "No. I would never share Bee with anyone. I've just had a sensational past." He laughed again and took a sip of his beer.
James tried to discretely take a sip of his beer.
"You too, James?"
He looked a little embarrassed when he made eye contact with me. "That was way before I met Penny, although I would never refer to my past as sensational. More like a string of mistakes."
"So you've never had one with Penny?"
He laughed. "No. I'm known to get a little jealous. I'm not sure I could handle that. And I like to think that I'm enough for her. She's certainly enough for me."
How did his confession of having a threesome turn into something sweet? Penny must have a hard time winning arguments with him. He didn't play fair at all.
"I've never had one," Matt said. "Maybe we could experience our first time together, Daphne."
"Shut the fuck up, Matt. You had a threesome the night after Penny's graduation party," Rob tossed his empty beer bottle at him. "I know because James and Penny wouldn't let me spend the night and I had to listen to you sloppily trying to please two women at once. Or was it a devil's threesome? I can't quite remember."
Matt laughed. "It was definitely two girls. And it was only because you passed on one of them. You were acting all weird that night. I wasn't going to leave one of them alone. Besides, you're not so innocent yourself."
I looked at Rob. He had a strange expression on his face. His empty beer bottle was laying on Matt's chair. "Did you take a sip?"
"I'm not sure if I have to answer that. You should have been paying attention."
"Just tell me."
He let go of my leg and shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
"It's not a big deal. I'm just curious."
Rob smiled. "Why, do you want one or something?"
"Not at all."
"Well good, I don't want one with you either. I only want you."
"That doesn't really answer the question."
Matt cleared his throat. "Never have I ever had sex with three women at the Blue Parrot Resort."
Rob took a deep breath and exhaled loudly. He looked even more upset than he had last night when I had walked out of his room. He didn't have to take a sip. His demeanor completely gave him away.
I laughed awkwardly. "So, last night then?" Really? I tried to take a deep breath. We got in a fight and he went and had a threesome? I had walked all over the resort crying like an idiot and he had had a threesome? God, we were so different. How did I ever think there could be more than this weekend between us?
"No, it's not what you think."
I didn't want to stand up and storm off. I didn't want to give him the impression that I cared more than he did. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction. I laughed again. "How could you possibly think you know anything about what I'm thinking? We don't know each other."
"Daphne, it was before I met you." He leaned forward and put his hand on my thigh.
Don't touch me. I tried to ignore the tingle his touch gave me. "Yeah, sure whatever. It's fine." But it wasn't fine. Had he had sex that morning right before he met me? Why the hell was he so persistent then? Why hadn't he just left me alone? I didn't need this. This was why I didn't do stupid shit without thinking.
"Never have I ever seen my brother happier than he was a few minutes ago," James said.
I looked over at him. I knew James was trying to help. But he didn't realize that what he said just reminded me of my brother. Of how Derek never got to be happy again. About how I couldn't even remember his smile without looking at a photograph.
I couldn't believe I had gone up to Rob's room with the idea in my head that I was going to tell him about my brother. Rob didn't deserve to know anything about Derek. He wouldn't understand. He couldn't understand because his brother was still alive. And James was a whole lot nicer than Rob was.
"That's very sweet of you to say." I gave James what was probably the most un-genuine smile ever. "It's actually getting kind of late guys. And I know you probably have some more stuff planned for your bachelor party. I have to get back to my friends too. They're probably worried about me."
"Can I walk you?" Rob said. His face looked so guilty. Or upset. Or I don't know, because I didn't know him well enough to tell.
