I suck in a deep breath as I watch Tyler take the card away from Michelle. This isn't good, this isn't good at all. If he drops the card on purpose I'll quit this stupid game and go home.

He turns to me, eyes locked on mine intensely. My heart pumps even more now that I can see his gaze on me. I decide to focus on the card and not his intimidating eyes. As he moves closer my palms start to sweat excessively while locked behind my back.

Tyler blows the card to me and I manage to retrieve it without losing it. I almost sigh out loud but I'm not about to drop the damn card. Austin gets it from me and carries on with it to the next person. I sigh avoiding Tyler's stare, which I can feel on me even without looking.

"Damn it!" Seraya curses out loud after dropping the card.

The circle is filled with uncontrollable laughter as Jason shifts proudly to face her waiting on his kiss.

"See, she's already addicted to me. That's why she had to drop the card to get more of these lips," Jason speaks proudly and we all just keep laughing at how disgusted Seraya looks.

She flashes her cup of vodka while closing her eyes the pulls Jason by the collar into a deep kiss.

"Whoa, okay. I'm starting to think she really did want him." Blake claps loudly and points at Jason who is still in shock from the kiss.

"Hey Jason, wanna switch positions?" Ronnie asks hopefully but gets himself a head shake indicating no!
"Cool bro. All good." He fakes disappointment.

"Okay switch it up Seraya, send the card back to the other direction." Jason tells her after she tries to pass it to him.

She starts the movement and I shift nervously waiting to just get it over with. I feel hot breath close to my neck followed by a deep voice.

"Maybe you'll drop the card this time Miss Thing," Tyler whispers giving me goosebumps.

Austin gets the card and passes it to me. At least I don't have to worry about Austin dropping the card on purpose, he seems more respectful than Mr. Stuck-up over to my right.

I suck the card from Austin's lips and start to turn to Tyler. They say it takes a second for things to change and it also takes a second for concentration to be lost. You may think you have everything under control but just one action or distraction in a single second may completely make you lose it.

"Sorry I'm late," I hear that familiar voice that makes my throat, mouth and lips simultaneously run dry.

Before I can pass the card to Tyler I hear that certain voice and my features stiffen. The card falls from my lips and my breathing hitches.

                     ~•~•~•

"I love you Alexandra Reddington, only you." Noel pulls me to himself.

"And I love you Noel James Wesley," I kiss him softly.

                     ~•~•~•

My eyes start welling up with tears. My ears are hot and ringing and everything is blurred. I can't hear what's going on around me because there's a lot going on inside me.

"What..what is he doing here?" I ask Michelle who is already up on her feet.

"You're not welcome here Noel. So I suggest you take the same direction that brought you here back to where you came from." Michelle yells and everyone just stays quiet.

"Michelle Michelle Michelle, still the feisty little lady I see," he smirks while crossing his arms on his chest.

"Noel I mean it, you need to leave, now!" She holds the bottle of vodka in her hand. God, why can't she just hit him with it.

Noel turns his gaze to me and I start to shake. My palms sweat continuously as I try hard to dry them on my pants. Everyone seems confused about the little drama that's going on between Michelle and Noel.

"Hi Lexa, long time no see." He wears a smug expression on his face. My throat dries up even more so I decide against my new principles and take a huge gulp of my drink. I welcome the burn that flows down my throat to my stomach heating up my whole body. Putting the cup down, I stare at him confidently not accepting any sort of intimidation.

Michelle looks at me with wide eyes, not believing that I just took alcohol after my huge progress. I don't care though, I just want to drink more. Before I even know it my cup is already empty.

"Dude, seems you're unwanted here so just leave and quit ruining our fun!" Austin sounds really pissed off.

"I'm not leaving without her," Noel points at me.

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" my voice comes out pitchy and scary.

"Yes you are Lexa," he stands there commanding me like he still has control over my life.

I get up and stand up straight curling my fists into balls. I can't believe the nerve he has. Austin and Tyler stand up simultaneously and stay close by my sides.

"She's not leaving with you bro," Austin holds my hand protectively.

"We'll see about that!" Noel bites back and attempts to make his way to me. Blake stops him by his chest and pushes him slightly.

"Not worth it Noel, walk away." Blake tells him while holding him back.

"Hey," Tyler tags my other hand to get my attention.

Once I turn my head to look at him he crushes his lips onto mine. My eyes remain open for a second then fall shut. My legs grow weak as I lose all energy from my body. He pulls me closer to himself kissing me so deeply and I find myself kissing him back just as deeply as he's kissing me.

An:
Whoa.. Okay I didn't see that coming Tyler. Real smooth dude!
So what do you think happened between Noel and Lexa?
