I am still left reeling from the effects of Clay's voice when i hear
"Let us play a game of secrets".
What?.
"How does the game work?" Scott says still looking at Adrian's Jean.
Adrian is swinging something playfully in front of him now and my eyes open wide in surprise to see that it's his phone.
Adrian is practically dangling his phone in front of my brother's eyes and the moment Scott's sees what is on it, his face simply lights up.
He reverses his position to lie on his stomach and he begins scrolling through it, a particularly delighted look on his face.
"What is this game all about?" Adrian says sitting down on the floor with us and Oakley smiles.
"It's simple really. Everyone tells a secret. Everyone tells a secret that no one else knows"
"You know practically everything about my life" I say looking at her and she shakes her head.
"That is not a hindrance. I might know it but does every other person know?".
"Do we really have to tell like the deepest darkest secret?" Oliva says a delighted look practically on her face and Oakley shakes her head.
"You only need to share what you want others to know".
"Isn't this a little bit too much for us" I say trying to find an easy way out but yet Oakley for the most part of it shakes her head.
She shakes her head and instead it is Scott who speaks up.
"Don't you think that we should all have something of a formal introduction first, before we do this at least let everyone know everyone's names?"
"You know practically everyones names here" I say shooting an answer back at him but instead he doesn't look at me.
He doesn't look at me and he simply keeps on scrolling through Adrian's phone.
"I might know everyone here but does Oliva know, does clay know everyone here. We still need to know each other if you are going to be spill your darkest secrets".
"You want to finally spill your darkest secrets?' I say looking at him and he almost throws Adrian's phone at me.
"Sometimes you make me feel like I'll spit out blood".
Everyone simply releases a light laughter at this and I find the atmosphere calm.
"I'll start first" i say.
"Hollup" Oakley says as she looks at me.
"This is not a game for an introductiory session. It is a game of secrets, everyone say your names 1, 2, 3, go. Oakley"
"Arya"
"Eras"
"Clay"
"Adrian"
"Scott"
"Olivia fluffy bottoms"
What???.
Scott almost chokes on his tongue amd everyone simply starts laughing.
"Alright, now we need to decide who will begin the game. Deepest darkest secrets first" she says.
"I thought you said anything we're comfortable with?".
"If I tell you to say anything you're comfortable with you might simply keep on telling me everything that happens in your yoga class. We do not want to hear that. We want to hear dark things. All the things about what goes on in your life".
I smile.
"You want to die then".
