[indent][indent]Spin the bottle.

It was a game as old as time, and the perfect excuse for inebriated teens to fondle each other and practice that earth thing called kissing to help them prepare for a future of heartbreak and romance. Tane sat like royalty, eyeing his subjects with his dark gaze falling upon those around him as they began to spin the aforementioned bottle and started locking lips and interweaving bodies. 

The Polynesian Prince grinned as he watched the chaos begin to bubble from beneath the surface and into the ether around him: confidence, swagger, love and jealousy all were becoming apparent with each spin of the glass. This was a game of combinations; Erica and Leo, Cassie and Leo, TJ and Griffin, Sol and Savannah-- now [i]this[/i] was a pair that intrigued him. If for nothing else, Sol was tonight's prey. He had all but made that decision before the pair had left the gym earlier that evening. She was safe-- he could explain to the world how the pair had ended up together with very little fanfare. Soleil was ridiculously attractive, and any person with a working pair of eyes could see that and she and Tane spent a lot of time together. So two and two make four, and the pair of them doing bad things for a good time was obvious. It wouldn’t lessen the aura that the boy had built around himself these many months at San Agustin. If anything, it would increase it. Yet he was still that: a boy. And as much as he would preach otherwise the sight of Sol and Savannah kissing was exciting to him.

Despite the teenage chemical reaction going on within his superior brain, Tane began to allow his mind to turn like a chess master: to try and piece together all these things going on around him and figure out how he could use them all to his advantage in the future. Inebriation was a hell of a thing; to lose one’s inhibitions and give yourself up to the base human desire that rules your very soul. It was a powerful tool to possess the deepest desire of your enemy. Tane sat watching ever so closely gathering the specifics of his classmates' reaction, hoarding all the intel on those in the circle. Would he use it? Perhaps. Many in the group he liked, and it would only be for self preservation that he would bite their fucking legs off and let them drown in the Atlantic. Meadow-- now there was an X-Factor. Tane did not know all that much about them, which he did not like. He watched as they wrapped their arms around Talya and Cassie with a smirk. There was a being of pure chaos; one to watch out for for sure. The lords of the bottle had yet to grace Tane with a kiss but he knew his time would come soon enough. It was all a part of the plan: [i]his[/i] plan. Damn flawless it was. 

Then came Nicholas and Savannah and the man they called Alitane could do nothing to control the smirk on his face as Sav ripped Little Nicky a new one. Theirs was a rivalry based on superiority; and for as long as it had been going on, it had always just been two of them against one another. But here, in front of everyone, Nick was projecting his true nature. And any one of their classmates who could remember his behaviour in the morning could be a potential ally-- Sav in particular. Game on, Nicky.

After spending her time watching everybody else get lucky (or, in Leo and Samuel's case [i]un[/i]lucky), it was finally time for Soleil to leave her fate up to chance in the hands of a spinning bottle. Outwardly smiling with confidence but internally shaking with worry, the dark-haired girl took a deep breath, grabbed the bottle, and gave it a hard spin. 

With bated breath, Shady and the rest of the players watched the glass bottle spinning rapidly on the floor, slowing down little by little until the neck of it came to stop on… [i][b]Alitane Fifita[/b][/i].

Although Soleil was happy that the bottle hadn't landed one one of her bros (kissing Leo would’ve been like something out of a horror movie), an inexplicable wave of nerves threatened to swallow her whole. How come she'd been perfectly fine with kissing Talya and Savannah, but the prospect of kissing Tane had her racing heart's beat pounding loudly on her ears? Whatever the reason, she refused to show any weakness to both her randomly chosen partner and the rest of the partygoers. With a cocky smile, Shady rose from the ground and took position in front of her Polynesian friend.

[color=firebrick]"I hope you bring out the big guns, T, because Sav and Tal set the bar pretty high up there…"[/color] she teased with a wink, letting out a small chuckle.

[color=B4B4B4]”The big guns? My love, I’m a damn AK-47. They don’t come much bigger than me.”[/color]

Tane could not have planned this any better even if he had tried. There was a great dichotomy in that he was a man who believed in making his own way, that every decision matters, and every move played should be thought out in advance. Yet he was also spiritual, and believed in a higher power’s guiding hand. On this night of nights, he had chosen Soleil Jameson as his target, and fate had guided the bottle in her hand to fall on him. Maybe the big guy upstairs was on his side-- or perhaps it was the one downstairs? Either way, he was about to kiss Shady girl and blow her fucking mind.

Tane brushed a strand of her midnight hair from her face, allowing his thumb to trail along her painted lips. He inched closer, allowing his nose to graze hers with their faces becoming close enough for the pair to share their next few breaths. He gently cupped her top lip with his and rested his left hand on the back of her head, pulling her into a deeper kiss. Tane was in full control of Sol’s body as he pulled her tight form to his and held her pressed against his chest. As their heartbeats merged and the passion increased, he could feel the extent of his power over her in every inch of his body. She was his to move as he pleased and she pleased him very much. His mouth left hers and caressed her neck, his hand moving down her spine like a soft feather. 

If the kisses with Savannah and Talya had been amazing, there was nothing that could have prepared Sol for what was currently happening between her and Tane. It had started out innocently enough: by getting a strand of hair sweetly brushed away from her face. The gesture brought a small smile to the girl’s mouth-- a brief moment of tranquility. Of course, that would be the last calm instant she would have for a while. When Tane's thumb grazed her lips, a shiver ran down her spine, causing the hairs on her body to stand on end. When he began to approach her so closely their bodies touched, her breathing deepened with anticipation, hot breaths of liquor and mint coming together and evaporating to the atmosphere. And when his lips finally collided with hers, the world around them simply disappeared.

At once, a hunger unlike anything she'd experienced before took over Soleil-- and it showed in the way she wrapped both arms around him and surrendered to their kiss. No matter how closely she held Tane or how passionately she kissed him, somehow it didn't seem like enough. She craved him badly, desperately, as if she was drowning in an ocean of desire and he was the air her lungs were so frantically trying to reach. 

Shady didn't know how long they stood there; arms around each other, lips locked, tongues seductively dancing with one another. Until Tane's mouth shifted its attention from her lips and to her neck, with that light, teasing touch of his fingertips on the exposed skin of her spine. The dark-haired girl couldn't hold back the sigh that escaped her mouth, or how her eyes were closed shut to completely focus on every second of this moment. Everything was going more than fine, until…

[color=ED1414]“My eyes… oh my god, my eyes. Make it stop.”[/color] A certain dark haired lion blurted out, trying to regain control over his gag reflex as he watched Sol and Tane basically have sex in the middle of the circle. Just as their classmates had done minutes earlier when he showed Billie how passionate he was, Leo interjected and tried to get them off of each other for his own sake. [color=ED1414]“Please get a room. Like now.”[/color]

And [i]that's[/i] how you killed the moment.

The second she heard Leo's voice, Sol's eyes flew open, and she flinched away from Tane's body as if it had shocked her. Fuming, she turned her head towards the young man so quickly it was a miracle her neck didn't snap.

[color=firebrick]"Yo, can you just shut the fuck up?!"[/color] she burst out, glaring at her friend (or was it ex-friend? It was still undecided). But when she looked around and saw the way the rest of their classmates were looking at her and Tane-- a strange combination of curiosity, intrigue and amusement--, it dawned on Shady just where she was, what she had been doing, and in front of who she had done it.

[color=firebrick][indent][i]Well shit…[/i][/indent]
"Excuse me, T, but I need a second…"[/color] Sol croaked before hurrying away in the direction of the bathroom.[/indent][/indent]
