Chapter 8

“Let’s gather in the living room everyone, it’s time to play some games,” Samantha said.

Drake was so grateful that Sam had decided to come back over to his house and help facilitate a little game time. He was exhausted and couldn’t imagine trying to wrangle all the women together for any sort of evening activities. He was going to ask Samantha to come every night so she could give him a little bit of a break from the women. Plus, she was much better with socializing than he was.

The women made their way into the living room and sat on the couches on either side of Drake’s big chair. It was exciting to have all of the women in the same room, but at the same time, Drake was a little scared of what could happen with so many women. Tensions weren’t very high yet, but Drake suspected as the week wore on some of the women were going to become much more difficult to manage.

“To get this party started today I think we should play a little game of spin the bottle,” Samantha said as she held up an old-fashioned glass soda bottle.

The women all erupted with excitement and even Victoria felt herself getting a little excited about the game. She hoped she was matched up with Drake and could spend some more time kissing him. There was only a couple hours left in their day together and Victoria didn’t want to waste it.

“Who wants to get started?”

Samantha sat quietly for a moment as the room became total stealth. As much fun as the game seemed to be at first, the women must have realized that with only one man to play; the game was going to be a little different than the games they normally played.

“I’ll go first,” Scarlett said.

Scarlett got down onto her knees and leaned over to spin the glass bottle. Everyone in the room stared at her giant breasts. It was impossible to avoid them with the low-cut dress she was wearing.

The other girls seemed to get a little more excited since they didn’t have to go first. Many of them cheered and got excited for Scarlett as the bottle spun in the middle of the room.

It started to slow down and Victoria it was sure it was going to land on her, but it kept moving and ended up landing on Lauren.

The squeal that came out of Lauren was crazy loud and everyone looked at her at first. They weren’t sure if she understood that she was going to have to go in the other room with Scarlett. Maybe she thought she was going to get some private time with Drake or something?

Victoria knew the truth though, she knew that Lauren liked Scarlett, so when they two women walked into the other room; Victoria couldn’t help but think that they were actually going to make out. They spent their seven minutes in the other room and then both Lauren and Scarlett walked casually back into the living room.

Everyone just watched them and stared. They wanted to ask what happened, but the rules of the game were that you didn’t ask such things.

“Does anyone have any chapstick?” Scarlett teased.

Everyone erupted in applause and the night was off to a fun start.

Drake started to take notice of Scarlett for sure that night. He watched her as she cheered along the other girls and even humored them when she got picked and had to go in the other room with them. He wasn’t sure if she was really making out with the women or not, but he loved her humor about the situation.

When it was Drake’s turn he felt the pressure of all the women’s eyes on him. He couldn’t stand the thought of disappointing one of them or making them feel bad when he brought one of the girls to the other room. But he was a good sport about it and continued to play the game with the rest of the group.

As he spun the bottle Drake looked up at Samantha and saw the humor of the situation. He was literally on his knees spinning a bottle playing a high school game with a bunch of the most eligible women in the country. His life was pretty damn good.

The bottle started to slow down and ended up stopping on Cynthia. Everyone cheered for her. Cynthia had been very quiet throughout their first full day there. She was the only plus sized woman and also seemed very uninterested in the group activities. Well, she was uninterested until Drake picked her, then suddenly the game seemed much more like a good idea.

Drake stood up and grabbed Cynthia’s hand to bring her to the other room. He was delighted to get to spend a moment with her and was happy the other women didn’t seem to upset by the bottle’s decision.

“You look beautiful,” Drake said as they walked to the other room.

“Thanks,” Cynthia said quietly.

As they rounded the corner to the other room Cynthia pushed Drake up against the wall and held his arms up in the air over his head.

Drake instantly got hard as a rock at the forcefulness that Cynthia had over him. Obviously, he could have moved his hands if he wanted to, but he loved the way she tried to control the situation. It was exciting and totally unexpected.

“I’ve been wanted to kiss you since we first met,” Cynthia said as she planted her lips on Drakes.

She moved her body up against his and he felt his cock getting harder and harder. Before he could think of what to do next, Cynthia had her hand inside his pants and was rubbing his cock with it. Her lips continued to kiss him and Drake loved every moment of it.

When the buzzer sounded and their time together was up, Drake felt like he was in a daze as they walked back to the group of women. Cynthia had certainly surprised him and he was excited to see what their time together would be like on her day.

Victoria had a horrible sinking feeling when Cynthia and Drake walked back into the room. She could tell they had been kissing and it made her sick. She took a couple deep breaths and then tried to put on a smile for the rest of the evening.

As childish as the spin the bottle game was, the longer they played the more fun everyone seemed to have. Samantha stayed off to the side and acted as the announcer for the game and it seemed like the alcohol was continuously flowing. By ten o’clock everyone was pretty tipsy and having so much fun, even Victoria.

Drake kept his eye on Victoria and could tell she wasn’t really interested in the spin the bottle game. But she also hadn’t had her turn yet. He secretly hoped it would land on him as he watched intently as she spun the bottle.

Both Drake and Victoria seemed to be the only ones paying attention as the bottle spun and finally landed on Scarlett. Victoria looked over at Drake with sad puppy dog eyes. Drake had to smile though, he didn’t know what Scarlett was going to do but he wanted to be there for it.

“Scarlett,” Samantha announced.

Without hesitation Scarlett grabbed Victoria’s hand and led her into the other room. But by the time they got there, Victoria was practically in tears. The anxiety over the whole night was too much for her.

“Darling, what’s the matter,” Scarlett said as she gave Victoria a hug.

“I’m sorry. It’s all just too much. I’m just a history teacher. I don’t want to make a scene but I’m barely keeping myself together.”

“I understand. Let’s sit down for a minute.”

Scarlett and Victoria sat down on the couch and talked for their entire time in the room. When the buzzer sounded, neither of them got up and instead finished their conversation.

Victoria was so happy to have someone to talk to and Scarlett seemed like a very put together woman. She was also much friendlier than any of the other women.

“Can I join you two?” Drake said as he walked into the room.

He had expected to see some sort of elicit event going on between the two women, but when he saw the serious nature of their conversation he knew he was wrong. Drake sat down on the coffee table in front of both of the women.

“I’m sorry Drake, I’m really trying,” Victoria said as the tears started.

Scarlett instantly had her arm around Victoria and started rubbing her back.

“It’s alright Victoria, Drake understands,” Scarlett said as she looked at Drake and urged him to show some compassion for Victoria.

Compassion certainly wasn’t something Drake had much experience with though. Most of his life was spent avoiding emotional women like Victoria. Although, Robert had clearly warned him that having seven women in the house all at the same time was surely going to cause some conflicts.

“We had a great day today, Victoria. Why don’t you just go relax out by the pool for a little bit and I’ll come out in about twenty minutes so we can say goodnight.”

At Drake’s words, Victoria started to feel a little better and her tears cleared up.

“Ok, I’m going to get a drink and I’ll wait for you out there,” Victoria said as she gave Scarlett a hug and then Drake.

“You were very kind with her, thank you,” Drake said to Scarlett.

“I’m all about women power. She seems like a really great girl, I think all these big personalities are just a little too much for her.”

“I appreciate you going out of your way with her. You didn’t have to do that, but you did. That’s impressive to me.”

Drake moved over and sat with Scarlett on the couch. He wasn’t going to kiss her or make any moves on her, at least not at that moment. But he did really want to see her on their one to one date.

“I think this week is going to bring many more nights of tears. Are you prepared to deal with all of that?”

“No. Absolutely not,” Drake said honestly.

“It seems like everyone is going to fall in love with you by the end of the week. How are you going to choose at the end?”

Drake paused and just stared at Scarlett. He really had no idea how he was going to make his decision. During his date with Victoria he thought for sure she was going to be the one he would pick. As the night continued on and he had the chance to talk with all of the other women, Drake became more and more nervous about how he was going to make his decision. All of the women were a match for him in one way or another. Samantha and Robert had done a really good job of picking the women.

“I have no idea.”

Scarlett stood up and kissed Drake on the cheek as she walked out of the room and left him there to think about it.

Drake sat there for a minute a little dazed by the interaction. Scarlett could have spent that time talking to him or getting to know him more, but she just left him there on the couch. He wasn’t exactly sure what to think about it.

The idea that she might not even be interested in him ran through his mind. She seemed much more mature than the other women and certainly beautiful. Drake was sure she had plenty of men who wanted to date her. He felt a little less than adequate for her, which had absolutely never happened to him before in all of his life. Drake had never met a woman that he felt like was on the same level as he was. It made him want Scarlett very badly.
