Surrendering (Surrender 1)

“Raven, we don’t want to harp on the situation, but a few shots might loosen you up so you can talk to us. The night officially starts now. Did you get everything?”

I know what she means. I did the liquor shopping this week and we have all our favorite junk food. I nod and get the limes.

When the limes are sliced and the shots are poured, I pass the salt shaker.

“To the best girls’ weekend ever! May there be secrets, sauce, silliness, and sex!” This is our general opening motto so each of us licks, sucks, slams, and laughs.

Abbi and Ella seem to join in the fun with no questions asked, but I’ve spent the last week telling them what to expect.

We decide on the sleeping arrangements. The sisters will sleep together and give Abbi’s room up. Harper and Charlie are together and Kendall is with me. We split our stuff and get ready. I choose a loose flowing, baby doll pink nightie with the bodice in sparkles. The bottoms are similar to boy shorts and have beads on the edges. One thing we always do is a contest on the best outfit. I didn’t tell my roommates because I didn’t want to scare them way, but these girls can get racy.

When we all meet back in the living room, Charlie shouts, “We look fucking hot. Too bad it’s girls only because I bet we could make some memories tonight!”

Every one of us looks great and I swear, I’m never going to win one of our competitions.

Kendall starts the evening with the swearing of the vows. It’s pretty simple.

We swear on the sisterhood that nothing leaves this house. We may be horny, we may be whipped, but we know ho’s are better than bro’s”

We all recite and Ella laughs out loud. “You know guys, we may be able to come up with a better mantra.”

Everyone laughs because we’ve been telling Kendall that for years. It’s the cheesiest vows ever but we came up with them when we were much younger and they seemed appropriate at the time.

As we settle in, we get acquainted over margaritas. Once we’re on our third pitcher, I notice I have several missed calls.

Harper screams at me, “No way! No calls!”

“No babe, it looks like Finn is checking to see if everything is okay. I’ll just text him back and be done. If I don’t, he’ll be here in like two minutes.”

“Let him. He’s fine,” Kendall says.

“I agree.” Charlie says with a wink.

“No way! This is for girls only.” Harper warns them.

Ella and Abbi are quiet and keep looking at each other. I get uncomfortable.

“Hey, I’ll get another pitcher ready and call him. You decide on the game.”

I walk into the kitchen and dial Finn, “Hey, Baby Girl, what’s up.” It sounds like he’s at a party.

“Not much, everyone is here and safe. No need to worry about us.”

“Okay, but I’ll be with y’all tomorrow night. I know what’s going on at the club and Kendall has gone viral with the local group. You need to prepare.”

I scream into the phone, “You are FUCKING KIDDING ME!”

“Nope, need to talk to your girl and get the schedule. We’ll all be there. Apparently Adam is spinning all night.”

I’m about to blow up. I look towards the living room and see Harper and Kendall smirking. I’m going to kill them.

“Finn, I need to go. Too bad you took my firearm because I’m going to have to kill these two with my hands.”

He laughs. “Be careful and let me know the details tomorrow.”

I hang up and finish making the margaritas. Then I head straight to Kendall.

“Anything I should know?” The room goes silent.
