When the party was split up into groups and dispersed in different rooms, Nathan immediately thought of a plan to bring the party closer. It was one last bang before we could all go away to live our separate lives. He turned down the music and stood at the coffee table in the centre.
"Y'all, I'm giving you 5 minutes to wrap up whatever you're doing and come here. We're going to be doing something fun." Nathan said with a mischievous grin.
Everyone cheered and hooted, hurriedly grabbing their drinks and walking. I quickly picked up my bag and ran upstairs, hoping to change my clothes before the real party began. I couldn't stay any longer in the uncomfortable sequin dress. I took it off, changed into a comfortable tee and jeans and ran down. The party has finally assembled.
"Girls and boys, I think we've had enough of the Hollywood glamour and elegance for the night. It's time to get dirty."

"Yesss!" "Oh yaa", everyone screamed in approval. The atmosphere crackled with energy, and I couldn't help but join in the excitement. This unexpected twist promised a memorable end to an already unforgettable night.
"We're playing a game of '7 minutes in Heaven! I'm going to put all your names in this app. It's going to choose two people randomly and you can do whatever you want."
Gasps and laughter erupted, the idea of the game sinking in. I looked at Tyler, who had a mixture of amusement and intrigue in his eyes. People began to pair off, the excitement building as each duo awaited their turn. Natalie was the first to be paired with Daniel. As the doors closed behind them and the timer turned on, we were already guessing what could be happening inside. Since they used to date a while ago, it wasn't such a surprise.
When the spotlight landed on Alisha and Tyler, a ripple of chuckles spread through the room. Alisha's laugh was carefree, her eyes sparkling as if she were relishing the attention. Tyler's eyes met mine briefly, his lips curving into a reassuring smile before he followed Alisha into the closet. Laughter and cheers accompanied them, and the door closed behind them, shrouding them in darkness.
The seconds ticked away, and the room filled with playful banter and teasing. As the door opened and Alisha and Tyler emerged, there was an air of mischief about them, as if they had shared a secret that I would never know. I couldn't deny the pang of jealousy that surged within me. Even though I knew it was all in good fun, seeing Tyler share that closeness with someone else, even for a game, stung more than I expected.
As the game continued, the pairings shifted, and the room was filled with laughter, daring dares, and the occasional stolen kiss. My smile felt forced, my attempts to play along clashing with the unease that gnawed at me. Then it was finally my turn, and my heart raced in happiness as I realized it was Tyler.
We held hands and walked into the closet. As the doors closed behind us, we stood close to each other, our breaths interlacing. "Finally, we got paired", he said, bringing my hands up and kissing them.
