These Games We Play Novels & Stories

Everything runs well! We are all seated around a table with the queen and king of the day who can't stop smiling about this day while Zack and I are playing a game called" looking at each other without saying anything" a game that only him and I can play without anyone else, a game that always tempts me to have eye contact with his eyes. I wish he could be near me now and not one chair ahead of me on the same table. Oh no, I have to call someone now, I think she is already on her way to come, I have to see where she is.

But then I see something flashing through his eyes I can't decipher. "Hey, while you two nearly fucked on the dancefloor, we decided we need some games." Justin announces. This is no different from any other party, of course there are these games. Wonder which one we are playing. "You in Joe?", Evans asks. "Sure, we're on a fucking party, right?" "I'm in too", Jake adds quickly. "Ok, we are playing suck and blow first", Justin tells us. Fuck!!! I am so screwed. I am sat right between Jake and Evans during this game.

Lillian's mind went blank. She had no clue. Between school and training, there was no time for gaming. She wasn't hooked on that stuff anyway. Her classmates' shooter games couldn't touch the real-deal drills at home. "Uh... It's..." She stalled, unable to remember the game Farrah was always on. "Honor of Kings? PUBG? Teamfight Tactics?" Juan prompted. "Yes. Those three. I'm always playing them," she said, grasping at straws.

The next day, we were sitting at the table playing the game called Onde. Conor had a small basket with snacks and cider brought in while we played. It had been quiet and peaceful all day. Conor was helping me play against Bart and Joanne since it was easier to learn when you played on a team. Sixth round and we have lost each one. I was not very good at this game, but I was told that this too would be something I would need to practice. “We should play Conquain again.” I said to Joanne with a smirk. I can at least win at that!

"I can't speak for everyone, but I know for Don and I that's true." "Sometimes," Ed said, "We do play randomizing games, but the same holds true when we do that." "Since we've all been fooling around with each other, it's safe to say that no one here would have to take one for the team with any of the other couples here," said another man. "Very true, so it's safe to play those types of games," said the second lady. "What games?" Duncan asked. Kelly squeezed his hand gently and took a sip of her drink. She felt his comforting return squeeze and smiled.

"What are the rules of the game because you are notorious for playing games that you can only play? I need to know what the rules of the game are now so that I can play the game fairly but in my case you can play the game fairly because you like games that you can only win . " "that is such a misconception I only play games that I like having fun in and the kind of games that are used to play or not as dangerous as the one that I'm stressing that we pay now so there different foods that you like and their difference is that I like that you don't like and vice versa also if you get an answer wrong about me you get to eat something that I like that you don't like. " "You have interesting choic

I stay quiet. “The invitation for the mate games just arrived.” The air in my lungs seize at his words. It’s impossible.How could we have received an invitation? “It’s mandatory for an eligible female from every family chosen to participate. We can’t refuse,” he continues, looking between the two of us. There’s a beat of silence, and then he says, “one of you will have to go.” My stomach sinks. I don’t like where this is going. Lila sits up straighter, her brows furrowing. “But the games are nothing but bull,” she blurts out, her voice sharp.

I explain “After the meal, we can play games, mostly video games, cause I know that’s what Der and Nicole are into” I say smiling. I know Nek has a game station and virtual reality, but I’m persuaded to ask if he has ever played, “do you play games, what I mean is do you play video games” I clarify He laughs when he hears my question, “what do you mean by do I play games”, “well..” I manage to say before I’m cut off, “why would I have a gaming room, if I didn’t play games”

I say hotly but before Hunter can say more, the girls come back so we have to suspend the discussion. So we spend the next one hour playing different games which the guys bring up. We play different versions of Truth and Dare, 20 questions and even Never Have I Ever and a game called Truth Only in which someone has to ask another person a question and they answer with only the truth and nothing but the truth. We laugh, joke and even tease each other while having a lot of fun. This is the most fun I have had in a very long while and I make a mental note to organize something like this for all of us very soon.

"We haven't done that in a long time." A beat of silence passed, and then Jayla's eyes flickered like the spark to something playful. "How about we fix that right now?" she suggested. "I think we could all use some fun." Jade raised an eyebrow to her. "What are you thinking?" Jayla grinned at her, the mischievous glint in her eyes. "Games. It has been forever since we have played anything together. The first real smile in days quivered on Jasmine's lips. "Games? As in, board games of the old school?"
