Hey everybody!
Finally the third chapter is written and edited. A big thanks to Chad, James and Carl for editing and the getdare Chat (in particular Leo) for helping me with a very annoying sentence!
If you got any questions about further detail, logic and in how far things in the story fit with reality or anything, feel free to ask.
I'd really appreciate your comments, criticism, guesses about what is to come in the next part, and what not.
This chapter is dedicated to Chad. I'm so happy that you're back! <3
Enjoy!
Chapter 3
"Hey Tim! And hi Chad." A blond guy, presumably Jan, opened the door. He hugged Tim and shook hands with Chad. He was just as tall as Tim and Chad and although he was neither athletic, nor fat, but just an average guy, he had quite a handsome face. Chad had seen him a couple of times in school, but he didn't know that Tim and him were close.
"What are you waiting for, the party has already started!" called Chris, while he was already going up the stairwell. They followed him into the flat, hearing Bob Marley singing loudly about the Buffalo Soldier in the stairwell already.
The flat was rather small, but cosy. They went to the living room where another guy was mixing a Tequila Sunrise and smoking Hookah. In the background he noticed some movie running on the TV.
"That's Jonathan, that's Chad." Tim introduced. Chad had already seen Jonathan a couple of times before, as they had some courses in school together. He was blond and a rather tall and skinny guy.
The coffee table, which wasn't small at all, was fully covered with various juices, beer, glasses and various liquors. Probably enough alcohol to keep everybody in here a whole week drunken.
"Hey Chad, what's going on? You want something to drink?" Jonathan said, while concentrating on filling grenadine in his glass. "Sure." said Chad and dropped next to Tim on the couch. Just after Jonathan had filled another glass with Tequila, orange juice and grenadine, a small, orange-brown haired girl, probably about 16, entered the room and sat down partly next, partly on Jonathan. "Hey Chad, I'm Steffi, Tim already told me about you." she smiled at him.
"Hey, nice to meet you." Chad replied and smiled back.
Jan turned the music down a bit and took a seat on Tim's other side. Then he held out the hookah hose in offer.
"Thanks but no thanks, I don't like smoking."
"Oh, I didn't know. I hope you don't mind us smoking?"Jan said concerned.
It didn't bother Chad that much and he didn't want to cause problems just after arriving on his first party in Germany. "It's fine, I just don't feel like smoking."
He leaned back and started drinking his cocktail. It tasted nice and one could hardly taste the alcohol in it. He could probably drink a couple of them before he would feel any affects of the alcohol.
Toby, Tim and Jan started chatting about people he didn't know and the last weekend. Due to Toby's horrible English they quickly switched over to German, with the result being that he didn't understand anything.
Having finished his first cocktail, he took his first beer and tried to twist off the crown cork. It didn't work at all.
"What the hell are you trying?" Tim said laughing. Jan and Toby looked over and started laughing as well. Tim smiled at him. "You look like you got power in your arms, but it's not going to be enough for that.
"I didn't know, I'm used to twist-offs" Chad blushed hard.
"There are twist-off caps for beer bottles? Tim asked surprised. "Weird imagination. But well. Give me the bottle, I'll open it for you."
Chad handed over the beer and Tim took the closest bottle he could grab, a Licor 43, and levered the cap of.
The conversation went on, mostly in German, so he couldn't quite follow. He sat back on the couch. There had been less space on the couch before, but now it seemed that Tim had leant even closer to him. Did he do that to get closer to him or had Jan just taken his chance to get more space on the couch when they were busy with the beer? Chad didn't know, yet just enjoyed the touch of their arms and shoulders as they brushed together.
Not being able to follow the conversation Chad contemplated his time in Germany. He expected the worst, most boring year of his life when he was coming over and now, just after a week he was sitting in some flat with a couple of funny people getting trashed. The Germans he learnt to know seemed to be cool and open-minded. And totally hot, at least the ones he hung out with.
He looked over to the other couch. Steffi was getting closer and closer to Jonathan and seemed to try to make out with him. She caressed him and then and now kissed him but he mostly just sat there and seemed to not really care. Of course, he kissed her back, and he didn't look like he didn't like it, but it rather seemed like she did everything and he just waited for it to happen.
Either he's totally drunk, or not interested in girls. Or both. Chad wasn't sure. He however started to feel a bit disorientated.
Watching them kind of made him horny and he started to imagine making out with Tim.
"How about a drinking game?" Tim's suggestion startled him out of his thoughts.
"Of course, why not." Chad said. Toby seemed to be as delighted as one could be and suggested to play circle of death. Jonathan and Steffi seemed to be busy making out, but didn't complain and Jan had already gotten a deck of cards.
While Jan was shuffling the cards, Tim explained the game to Chad. The rules were very similar to the ones of Kings.
After some games everybody was kind of drunk, some more, some less. Chad had quite a bit of luck during the game. Only thinking of the amounts that Jan and Toby had been drinking, not only because of the game but also drinking extra when they felt like it, made him feel like puking. They seemed to have fun though.
They are probably way more used to it, Chad thought. It was approximately midnight when they finished their last game. Toby stood up. “Goodnight, we see us. I go now home.”
Wow, his English gets even worse when he’s drunk, Chad thought.
Toby left the room and started putting on his shoes and coat.
“Is he going to drive back that drunken?” Chad asked showing concern.
“No worries, of course not. He’ll walk. He has to leave because he has to get up early tomorrow. And he can’t drive in six hours either.” Tim replied and stood up. He opened the window for some oxygen and cold air to come in. The smell and the cool blow of the summer air made Chad instantly feel a bit more sober. Toby left the flat and Jan turned the music down a bit so the neighbors wouldn’t complain.
Jonathan and Steffi, who were sitting in some kind of hug and seemed to be tired, started looking around disturbed. “It’s cold, go away!” Jonathan complained, more tired than anything else. As nobody made a move to close the window after 15 seconds, Jonathan and Steffi stood up. “We’ll go over to Jan’s room and watch a movie.”
They left together with Jan, who joined them to turn on The Hangover. When he came back he closed the door, sat down and started making drinks for him, Jan and Chad.
“Could you make a Batida de coco with cherry juice for me?” Tim asked.
“Cuba Libre for me, please.” Chad stated to Jan.
“Here we go.” Chris said, handing over the cocktails some minutes later.
They leaned back and enjoyed their drinks a lot.
“Well, it’s only the three of us... What about playing another game?” Tim suggested.
“Which one.” Chad asked. During the party he had given up almost every single bit of his hope that something, at least a little bit, with Tim and him would happen tonight. But now his hopes grew high again.
“Well,” Tim said, “how about a game of Truth or Dare...?”
