Truth or Dare
For a few days, nothing much happened. Ashley, Madison, and I were all busy with work. Typically, we might get together on Friday, but that weekend, Ashley, Madison, and Alyssa had organized a "girl's night in," so I spent time with some other friends instead. The next morning, Ashley shared all the details with me.
The three of them gathered at Ashley and Madison's house after finishing work. They each took a quick shower before meeting in the main room in the basement, where we usually hang out. Ashley had picked up a few bottles of wine for them to enjoy while chatting and watching movies. Ashley and Alyssa could handle a fair amount of wine, but Madison typically preferred just a couple of drinks.
Madison and Alyssa were sitting on the couch across from Ashley. Each of the girls was wearing a cami and running shorts. Madison had socks on; Ashley and Alyssa did not. Ashley was in charge of pouring wine for everybody. They were drinking some white wine, probably pretty cheap. I don’t remember. In any case, Ashley poured herself a glass and set it on the ground next to the couch before pouring two more. She stood up and brought the glasses as well as the bottle to Madison and Alyssa.
“Thanks Ashley,” Alyssa smiled.
“Yeah, thanks sis,” Madison said.
“You’re welcome,” Ashley grinned. She walked back to her couch, picking up her glass of wine before sitting down and taking a sip.
Madison and Alyssa had also begun working on their own glasses. Ashley turned on the TV and flipped through the movie channels before settling on something that would make for at least some good background noise while they talked.
The conversation focused mostly on work drama and other stories from their jobs while the girls drank their first glass of wine. Ashley was the first to finish, followed by Alyssa and finally Madison. Ashley opened up a second bottle of wine and poured herself a big glass. Madison and Alyssa followed suit, pouring themselves a big glass each. They almost killed the bottle so Alyssa just finished what was left, drinking straight from the bottle.
The girls continued to chit-chat as they worked through their second glass of wine. Madison was already feeling the effects, and Ashley could tell.
“I think Madison is drunk,” Ashley giggled. Madison’s skin was already quite flushed.
“Shut up,” Madison laughed. Alyssa gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Madison wasn’t the only one beginning to feel drunk. Both Ashley and Alyssa were already feeling loose. And as the girls continued to drink, their conversations began to become a bit more interesting.
“So,” Alyssa said after downing the last of her second glass. “I have a question for you, Ashley.”
Madison bit her lip and shot Ashley a look. Ashley only briefly met Madison’s eyes before looking back at Alyssa.
“What is it? And do you want more wine?”
“Yes please,” Alyssa said. Ashley set her wine glass on the ground and picked up another bottle. She took the wrapping off the top and uncorked it before walking the bottle over to Alyssa and Madison.. Alyssa poured herself her third glass of wine -- this one a bit more modest than her previous -- before handing the bottle to Madison, who downed the last of her second glass. Madison poured herself a small third glass and set the bottle down on the side of the couch, out of the way of where anybody would be walking.
Ashley sat back down on the couch and looked expectantly at Alyssa, who was blushing heavily.
“I don’t know if you remember,” Alyssa began slowly, pausing to take a breath. “The last time we had a movie night -- when Brian was here -- you and him went into your room for a bit in the middle?”
“I remember that, yeah,” Ashley said. “Why?” Ashley could feel her heart beating hard in her chest; Madison felt the same.
“What exactly were you guys doing?” Alyssa said. Her face was bright red.
“Why do you ask?” Ashley said. “Not that there’s anything wrong with asking -- I’m just wondering.”
“Well,” Alyssa said. She looked at Madison, who returned her gaze. “Both Madison and I heard… things.”
“Things?” Ashley couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Oh please,” Madison said, feeling a bit bolder than usual. “There’s no sense in beating around the bush. We heard you and Brian having sex.”
“Madison!” Alyssa said, her face somehow turning an even deeper shade of red.
“What? Like I told you, I hear them all the time,” Madison shrugged.
Ashley laughed. “I mean yeah, we were having sex.”
“No shit,” Madison laughed. She took another sip of wine. Her lips were a little numb and she couldn’t really taste it too much anymore -- alcohol had that effect on her.
“Did you guys know we could hear you? Because we heard, like, everything,” Alyssa blushed.
“Maybe,” Ashley said before bursting out laughing like Madison, who was still giggling.
“You ain’t slick, Ashley,” Madison giggled.
“So you knew?” Alyssa repeated. “Like you knew we could hear?”
“Yes,” Ashley shrugged. “We figured y’all could hear us pretty well.”
