My 21st Birthday party had come and gone. All in all I'd had a great night. All my friends together in a function room with a bar and karaoke, was the perfect evening. My boyfriend Marcus typically got wasted and was sat in the corner nodding off. Marcus wasn't a big drinker and on special occasions he always ended up stalking the toilet or passed out. I didn't usually mind, but it being my 21st birthday I was a little annoyed. The plan had been to head into town after the party but with Marcus's state it wasn't going to happen.
Left at the Party was Andy and Louise, Samantha , Asa, Tommo and my boyfriend snoring in the corner. I suggested going back to mine instead of heading into town and most agreed. Samantha however, had agreed to meet her boyfriend who was already in town so she couldn't come back. We arranged two taxi's for the rest of us and headed back to our house.
Marcus stayed conscious enough to climb the flight of stair to our bedroom. While we all headed for our living room. I poured everyone a drink and put some music on the tv. We all sat around talking, but the mood seemed a little subdued and I suggested that maybe we would have been better dropping Marcus off and heading to town after all. Andy then suggested we play a game!
Me: "That will liven this party up a bit what did you have in mind?"
Andy: "Do you have and iPad or iPhone?"
Me: "Yep, we have both!"
Andy: "Excellent, well there is an app on there called 'Love Game'! It's basically truth or dare, but instead of one of us choosing a dare, it chooses one for us."
As Andy was explaining the game I saw Louise give him an inquisitive look. Louise was Andy's girlfriend and Andy was Marcus's best friend. I didn't know Louise too well but knew Andy fairly well. He was your typical woman's man, always flirting always pushing the boundaries. I didn't envy any women who dated him.
Louise: "Seriously! You're suggesting we all play that!"
Andy: "Why not babe? We can just play it on the soft level where the questions and dares are really tame! It would be fun!"
Louise: "Oh I'm sure you'd have fun, but just because you'd enjoy it doesn't mean everyone would!"
I had a feeling Louise was the one who didn't want to play. I wasn't sure about Asa and Tommo, they had always come across as quiet and shy, but they had had plenty of drink.
Andy: "Ok well why don't we play one round and then have a vote on who wants to continue? Plus you get 2 jokers, so if there is a question you don't want to answer or a dare you don't want to do then you can use a joker to pass."
Everyone nodded in agreement apart from Louise, I could tell she wasn't keen on the idea but agreed to one round.
I downloaded the app while Andy explained the rules. Basically we all entered as players in the game. We took turns at choosing truth or dare. The app would decide what truth you were asked or the dare you had to do. Each player got 2 jokers and these could be used only to pass on your own truth or dare question and once they were gone you had no choice but to do as instructed.
As it was my birthday party Andy set me up to go first followed by himself, Louise, Asa and Tommo.
Andy poured everyone a shot of vodka as the game sometimes instructed to take a shot.
I went first as instructed and chose truth. "Debbie have you ever forgotten what happened because you drank too much".
Me: "I have, only the one time but yes I can't deny!" I pressed the yes button and was instructed to take a shot. I lifted the shot glass to my mouth and downed the vodka in one. Immediately Andy filled it back up with vodka.
Andy: "I think we've all done it at least once!" He said laughing.
Everyone laughed along apart from Louise, who looked far from impressed.
Andy went next and also chose truth. "Andy have you ever been to a nudist beach". Andy without thinking pressed the no button and was ordered to choose two people to take shots, he chose me and Louise. Again I downed my shot and not to be out done Louise did the same.
Now it was Louise's turn and she chose truth. "Louise which body parts do you shave". "My legs!" Louise replied quickly.
Andy: "They aren't the only body part you shave!" Andy laughed. Followed by nervous giggles from Asa and Tommo. Louise looked embarrassed and so I refrained from laughing.
Asa chose truth. "Asa what do you think of Debbie's bottom." Asa instantly went bright red, with a nervous smile. I looked back at him with anticipation but he bottled it and hit the joker button.
Asa I'd known for a few years, we worked for the same company. He was a bit of a geek in looks and personality and got embarrassed easily. He's never had a girlfriend while I'd known him, but he wasn't the best looking. He was a skinny guy, never seen a gym was about 5'8 tall and had mousy brown hair styled into the curtains look of the 90s.
Asa passed the iPad to Tommo who chose truth. "Tommo have you ever sexted with your partner." Tommo also went bright red but did press the no button and was instructed to to choose two people to take shots. He chose me and Asa, so after 1 round I'd already done 3 shots.
Tommo was a mini version of Asa, only with blonde hair. At 5'5 and again skinny and shy I had never seen him with a women. In fact some of our colleagues even thought they may both be gay but there was no evidence just rumour.
Andy asked the room if everyone was happy to continue and everyone agreed that it was all good natured and fun so we carried on.
I again chose truth. "Debbie have you ever slept with a girl at a party, if so give more detail." Andy looked up really interested in my answer as did Asa and Tommo. I'd never had an intimate moment with a women and so hit the no button to their disappointment. I was instructed to give out 1 shot so instructed Andy to take a drink.
Andy: "Well seeing as nobody has done a dare yet I'm going to make this a little more interesting!" Andy hit the dare button and we all looked down at the screen. "Andy read out the first message on your phone when you type blowjob in the search bar." Andy laughed and picked up his phone, then began to read! "Fellatio is an oral sex act involving the use of the mouth or throat, which is usually performed by a person on the penis of another person. If performed on oneself, the act is called autofellatio. Oral stimulation of the scrotum may also be termed fellatio, or colloquially as teabagging." We all laughed as Andy as a matter of fact, described the act of fellatio, Asa and Tommo again look nervous and beetroot red.
We moved on to Louise who chose truth. "Louise have you ever made love in the sea or a pool." Louise clicked the no button and was instructed to give out a shot, she again chose me and I downed my 4th shot. At this point I was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol more and felt a little more confident.
Asa chose truth: "Asa have you ever had a crush on one of your friends mother." He answered no and gave a shot to Tommo.
