in my mega heels and that’s when we hear the buzzer.
    Ben lets out a growl, which not only makes me even wet, but makes me giggle at his frustration. “What’s so funny?” he asks, nuzzling me.
    “Your frustration,” I tell him honestly, as I adjust my top and bra.
    He nips my neck, “you know I could always not let them in.”
    I consider it for a slight moment, because he is driving me over the edge. But I come too and I squirm away from his intense gaze. Fuck.
    “Told you, you’d regret inviting them over…” he smirks and smacks my ass as he passes me by heading into the kitchen.
    I stick my tongue out at him. I open the door and welcome the couple into our home. Erin gives me a hug and kiss on the cheek and James picks me up in a spin hug, “Happy New Year Tessy.”
    “Happy New Year James,” I give him a quick peck on the cheek and take the two bottles of booze out of his hands.
    I walk into the kitchen and hand Ben the bottles and he thanks James. I take their coats as Ben starts to pour some drinks. Before I even say another word Erin suggests we play a drinking game.
    “Common! We can pop in a movie and every time they say a certain word we take a drink!”
    “I’ve never played a drinking game before,” I admit.
    “What?” Erin screeches at me, making everyone cringe. She has a way of doing that to a room. She eagerly glides over to my movie collection and I hear James mumble something to Ben and they laugh. I am happy that they can finally get along. I smile at the sight of my two favorite men joking and smiling.
    Erin pops up and holds a DVD behind her back, “I have the perfect movie.”
    We wait and stare at her until she reveals her pick. It could honestly be anything, I have a collection of just about every genre there is. She gets tired of waiting for someone to reply, with a roll of her eyes she is holding one of my favorites.
    “Pitch Perfect!” we say together and laugh. The guys grumble, which makes us even more excited.
    “What’s the word going to be?” James asks a little concerned.
    I know exactly what she’s thinking and I have a feeling that we are going to get hammered pretty fast tonight. I smirk at her and she winks, we know each other oh-too well.
    “Aca,” we say in unison.
    The guys just look dumbfounded. “Have either of you even seen this movie?” Erin asks.
    They shake their heads no and James asks us, “What exactly is an ‘aca’?”
    She puts her hands on her hips and actually says, “aca-scuse me?”
    That’s all it takes and I am crunched over laughing, “Oh, I’ll get the drink ready. We are going to need quite a few of them!” I announce, heading to get started.
    We are about more than half way through the movie and I think the shots are getting to the boys, because they are starting to laugh harder than Erin and I put together. This has got to be the most fun I have ever had on New Year’s, I normally would just sit home. I have so much to look forward to this year. Marrying Ben for one, the next, my new amazing family and career. Things are just going too well … then again I think Ben and I have been through enough hell lately, just to get where we are today.
    The movie is over and we all have a pretty good buzz. Not completely sloshed, but a little tipsy and no verbal filter. Then I suggest something that I never would have suggested.
    “Let’s play truth or dare!”
    Erin throws her arm out and points dramatically in my direction, “Yes!” We lean forward and high-five one another.
    At this point the guys just shrug and go with it.
    “Okay, I suggested it, so I get to decide who starts! Erin, pick your victim.” She is all too willing to go first.
    “James,” She gets his attention. “Truth or dare?”
    “Dare.” He replies.
    “I dare you to empty your wallet.” She dares him we all look at her confused.
    He shrugs “Okay,” he leans to reach into his back pocket. He opens it up and pulls out all of his cash and cards and
