The Universe had a funny way of doing things. Spin the bottle was just another tool to drive Sam up the wall. It seemed as if everyone's spin kept landing on his best friend Leo. From Erica to Cassie, Sam was more than sure that all he would hear about later was how this game had worked wonders to boost Leo’s ever growing ego. Not to mention the display that he and Billie put on…. Leo Brooks - the ladies man. 

The only reason Sam was playing this game was for Alexis’s. Well, that and because there wasn’t much more to do at this party other than dance. Sam couldn’t dance to save his life. 

Luckily, spin the bottle had proven to be the right choice. While there were a few awkward kisses and heated exchanges, the game had also provided them all with a few good laughs to be mixed in with the taunts and jokes. A little stunned over Sav and Nick’s spat, Sam was quickly brought back to reality when Alexis reached for the bottle. 

With a nice spin, Sam sat and prayed that the bottle didn’t land on Leo again. While he didn’t one-hundred percent care who the bottle landed on, there was always something super weird about your best friend kissing your crush. Sam would prefer to avoid that. 

As the bottle slowed down, it was starting to look like Alexis might have to spin again. In those last final moments the bottle had just enough speed left to land right on him. 

[i][color=00A651]Wait. What? Did that just--[/color][/i]

Part of Sam was jumping up and down for joy. The other half of him was panicking. He had asked Alexis for a kiss, was gracefully turned down and now this!? If Lexi wanted to re-spin, Sam would have completely understood. Instead, she turned to face him with a smile. That was a good sign but --- 

As soon as their lips connected, Sam's mind went completely blank. While he would have happily settled for a peck, Alexis had a different idea. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach as he reached his hand up to cradle her neck. Her lips were even softer than he imagined, and still faintly tasted of vodka and orange juice. After they had pulled away from each other, Sam let his eyes rest on hers as a small smile played on his lips. 

When someone had nugged Alexis’s shoulder and broke her out of her daze, they did the exact same to Sam. Quietly clearing his throat, Sam returned to his cross legged position and put his hands in his lap as he anxiously awaited his turn. Still on a euphoric high from the kiss with Lexi, Sam didn’t half care who his spin landed on. 

Not until it landed on his Best-Bro-For-Life Leo, that is. 

As laughs and teasing [i]’oooooohh’s[/i] echoed around the room, Sam rolled his eyes. 

[color=00A651]”Let’s get this shit over with.”[/color] 

Standing up, he did the best that he could in order to hide the feeling of pure disgust rising inside him. Watching Leo waltz over with a cocky grin did nothing to help that. 

Sam had only ever looked to Leo as a friend and nothing more. This truly was a ‘like kissing your brother moment’. At least he could now have factual evidence when he told girls that Leo was a horrible kisser. 

Once Leo and Sam met in the middle of the circle Sam gave Leo a light peck on the lips. He knew that if he tried to kiss his friend on the cheek or someone else, his classmates would just force him to play the game properly. 

Leo was not one to go around and kiss guys- it was a well known fact that he was the straightest guy on this campus. So when Sam landed on him, the dark haired boy was not exactly looking forward to locking lips with his best friend. He tried to keep on his macho and confident facade, but as their mouths touched, Leo couldn’t help but pull away faster than lightning, fake gagging for added dramatic effect. 

Clapping his friend on the shoulder, Sam gave Leo a stern look. [color=00A651]”I love you bro, but let’s [i]never[/i] do this again.”[/color]
