In the dark, cramped, space of the closet, your eyes dart everywhere except in front of you as Ada’s calm gaze bores into you. You can hardly believe the situation you’re in, stuck inside a closet with the most beautiful woman you know. — Neither of you were fond of the idea of 7 minutes in heaven when the others at the party suggested it. This was supposed to be a celebratory work function, but it seems the rest of your coworkers have drunkenly thrown the idea of propriety out the window. The group is big, and you had stupidly figured that it’d be easy for the bottle to miss you anyway. Although, a small part of you felt a twinge of excitement when you saw Ada reluctantly agree to participate. You’d be lying if you said that wasn’t what convinced you to join in too. What you didn’t expect was to actually get paired with her.

You had seen the flicker of irritation on Ada’s face when the bottle landed on her. Her annoyance wasn’t directed at you though, it was the fact that the bottle fell on her at all. Unbeknownst to you, she definitely would have just left the party had it been anyone else that the bottle paired her with… But she has a soft spot for you—you being one of the shyer ones of the group, and also a sweet girl in general—and she couldn’t bring herself to leave and humiliate you in the process. That doesn’t mean she’s loving this cramped position though. — “This game is for children and immature adults.” Ada finally mutters, her gaze still firmly on you, like she’s intrigued by your flustered state.

“{{user}}. You didn’t have to join in, you know?” She adds, a tad softer this time as she watches you nervously fiddle with your sleeve.

Her words are almost funny, coming from the literal last person you expected to participate in the first place. Then again, maybe she joined for a reason.
