"What is eggnog anyway? Does anyone actually like this stuff?" Fergus asked, making a batch to be shared at tonight's Christmas party.
"Plenty of people drink it, it's tradition," Eve smirked, knowing he had a point.
"I know people drink it, I asked if anyone likes it," Fergus repeated, taking his girlfriend's silence as a no.
Eve plunged into the bowl with a plastic cup, raising it in appreciation before taking a sip.
"Thanks, baby. Delicious!" Eve winked before walking into the living room. After making herself comfortable on the sofa, her eyes drifted to the coffee table. Memories of THAT night washed over her before she reached over for the TV remote.
"Can we do a final check before I get comfortable, please?" Fergus wandered in and saw Eve with her feet up, watching Christmas music videos on TV. With a smile, she turned her head and reached for the remote once more.
"You're such a perfectionist!" Eve teased, turning the volume down. He ignored her, gathering his thoughts.
"Alcohol and snacks?" Fergus began to list the essentials.
"Check" Eve corroborated.
"Games?"
"Games?" She asked, unsure why a university house party would need games.
"Yeah, I don't know, like cards or something..." Fergus didn't know why he was feeling anxious. Gaining his composure, he took a seat next to his girlfriend. Stretching her legs out onto him, Eve could sense his nervousness.
"Baby, it'll be fine, we just need to make sure there's enough for everyone to drink, the rest of the night will take care of itself." Fergus was calmed by this, gently massaging her calf in return.
"How many are we expecting anyway?" Eve asked curiously.
"No idea, you invited them all."
"Well, I posted it on our university message board." Eve gritted her teeth, smiling playfully.
ONE HOUR INTO THE HOUSE PARTY
Fergus wasn't enjoying himself. He didn't recognise half the people in his house and they were getting wilder. It shouldn't have bothered him but the final straw was the cluster of empty bottles that had been abandoned on the TV stand. He stormed up the stairs. Eve spotted him but decided to let him cool off.
As the drinks flowed and the music got louder, Eve was the life of the party, her girlfriends encouraged her and she obliged. Midway through their latest karaoke session, Eve spotted the front door open. She continued belting her heart out until she saw who it was. Alistair. She hadn't seen him since he took it upon himself to jerk his cock in the middle of the lounge of his friend's house, while said friend's girlfriend looked on in awe.
"Sorry to interrupt!" Alistair manoeuvred himself into the group of girls.
"Woooh, yeah! Swifty, am I right?" Alistair had no intention of singing and couldn't care less which playlist was the soundtrack to the party, he needed to reach Eve.
"Where's Fergus?" Alistair shouted, attempting to break through the sound barrier. Eve looked up, gesturing above. He retreated, making his way towards the stairs.
"Fergus, mate! You up here?"
