I slowly wake up in a warm embrace and instantly find myself confused. I jerk back and find a sleeping Bai Lei holding me on the couch! I quickly sit up and wake up Bai Lei in the process. I look around in confusion and push him off the couch. "Why are you always touching me when I sleep?" I ask in irritation as I slowly get up.
Bai Lei smirks as he says "You were the one who wouldn't let go of me. Do all women here sleep as long as you do?" I frown and think for a minute before saying "I'm not sure... why are you asking that?" What does he mean by I wouldn't let go?
Bai Lei quickly sits up and says "I'm just curious..." I give him a weird look before walking to the kitchen but when I see the uneaten bowl of cereal I turn to him and ask "Did you not like the cereal? Are you hungry?" Bai Lei pushes himself off the ground and stretches as he says "The soup was cold and sweet... I didn't care for it."
I sigh in defeat and nod my head as I say "Of course... I'll order us some food since I can't really cook." An hour later, we have Pho! I could live off Pho... I set everything up for Bai Lei before digging into my own bowl. Bai Lei starts out slow but after the first bite, he inhales it.
Halfway through my food, the doorbell is heard. I frown and slowly walk over to the door. I open the door to find Ted, Nick, and Chase standing outside with bags of snacks. I give them a large smile before letting them in while saying "I was wondering who it was... what are you guys doing here?"
They place the bags on the table as Ted says "Well, we figured we'd come over and help keep you guys company! We brought snacks and alcohol! We should just hang out and get to know each other more." I nod my head and go to clean my spot as Ted turns to Bai Lei and winks.
Bai Lei frowns at Ted and suddenly has a bad feeling. Nothing he recommended before worked so he really didn't think this plan would work out either...
After inhaling the rest of my food, I walk over and help them set up the snacks. Snacks were good but Pho was life... I give Bai Lei a worried look as Ted and the others start setting up the drinks. "You don't have to drink anything... It's a bit stronger than what you're used to." I say with a weak smile.
Bai Lei watches me in silence before lifting his glass and quickly downing it. I cringe knowing just how high the alcohol content is but Bai Lei's face never changes. I give him a hopeless look as Ted gives him a large thumbs up.
Nick grabs his glass and quickly knocks it back saying "That's how real men do it, right my dude?" Bai Lei gives him a blank look as I shake my head in defeat. Ted's eyes flash with a crafty light as he says "We should make this a little fun for everyone. How about we play a game?"
My mind instantly shoots back to all the strip poker and immediately look at Bai Lei with large eyes. I quickly stand up and say "Something mild... nothing like the stuff we played before, okay?" Ted frowns at me and says "Why not? We're all adults here and you normally have no problem playing!"
Bai Lei finally speaks up as he says "Let's just play what you all normally play." I give him an awkward smile and say "No, you really don't want to play that. Believe me..." Bai Lei stares at me with dark eyes as Ted bursts out in an evil laugh as he says "The man has spoken! Four against one!"
I stare at Bai Lei for a few more moments before an evil smile slowly crawls across my face. "Fine, let the games begin," I say grabbing my glass and taking a shot. It burns all the way down as Ted and the others begin setting up the game.
This should be interesting... Bai Lei watches me with a flicker of unease as the guys begin explaining the rules to him. I watch everything with an evil smirk as I knock back another shot. "It's not too late to back out..." I say watching him with a smirk.
Bai Lei's eyes harden as he says "Let's begin."
