Chapter 123: Chapter 121
I coughed. Felicia patted my back, "you okay Tiger?"
I nodded, "yeah, stronger than I thought."
"It's just beer," Felicia told with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah," I trailed off awkwardly
"Wait a minute, Parker, is this the first time your drinking?" Liz asked in barely hidden joy.
I rolled my eyes, "no...I just haven't had it in a long time."
"Really? What's your favorite drink?"
"Vodka with vanilla and mint," I replied, yes, my taste in drinks were odd, sue me.
"Huh, I've never seen you drink that," Felicia said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, I told you, I don't really drink that often, especially since I started, you know," I made the devil horn with my hand pretending to shoot webs, "swinging around the city in break neck speeds is much more enjoyable, trust me."
"How does it feel?" MJ asked curiously.
"Like the world's problems don't matter," I smiled, "the first jump is scary, true, but the swing down, that's stomach turning. But when I swing upwards and let go, flying through the air for a split second….that's when it feels like I'm not even human anymore."
The girls were in silent awe, before Felicia spoke up, "well Tiger, that's because you really aren't."
I grinned, "well, you do always keep calling me 'God! God!' whenever we're alone, so I'm inclined to agree."
Felicia blushed red as the others laughed hard. We talked into the night, MJ talked about this new play she was trying for, Liz talked about how Flash would so freak out if he learnt Peter was actually his favorite hero and Jean just took it all in.
Soon though I realised the bottles of alcohol had been slowly piling up in one corner, my metabolism however wasn't letting me get drunk, I had finished ten bottles single handedly. And the girls noticed.
"How come you're drunk passed out drunk?" Liz asked, her words a little slurred.
"My body process the alcohol better," I shrugged, "I'm a little tipsy, but nothing much."
"Well that's not fair at all!" MJ cried out with a giggle, "y-you need to drink some more Mr. Spider! We're all getting drunk tonight!"
"She's right Tiger," Felicia huffed, her cheeks now red, "you need to get drunk too!"
"I don't think I can Kitten," I chuckled finishing off bottle number 11, "it's very difficult."
"I know!" Liz suddenly called out. She took her bag and searched inside, pulling out a metal flask the size of my hand, "whiskey! The strongest shit my dad has!"
"I don't know-"
"Oh come on Peter! Where's your sense of adventure!" Jean cried out, "I'm leaving tomorrow dammit, I demand the chance to watch you make a fool of yourself!"
"Come on Tiger," Felicia kissed my cheek, "live a little."
I looked at them and sighed, "fine, fine, I'll do it. Shesh, you girls are impossible."
"Says the guy who can crawl up the side of a building," MJ huffed.
I took the flask and sniffed it, the scent of liquor rolling off of it. I shrugged and took a sip, the smooth burning sensation rushing down my throat.
I sighed, "not bad."
"Great, now, who's turn was it again?" Liz asked picking up the dice.
"Mine," Felicia said rolling the dice and getting a three, "Trafalgar Square, I'm buying it."
"What? No! I need it! I already have the other two!" MJ cried out.
"Sorry Red, that's life," Felicia shrugged.
"Come on Felicia! Please! You don't even like it! Plus it's red! Shouldn't the red head have red?!"
"Why, then what about me?!" Jean cried out.
"Ah….you already have the pink set right?"
"Yeah? And?"
"Well then you can't have both!" MJ cried out.
The game carried on, and I began to drink more and more. I was losing, badly. MJ was a shrewd business woman, cutting shady deals with people behind our backs, feigning a lack of interest to make us desperate. Only Jean was immune, and I think that's because she could read MJ's mind.
Eventually I ran out of money, but instead of kicking me off the board like they were supposed to do, they instead just had me drink from the flask instead of paying rent. It was humiliating real, back in my real body I was the king of this game, but now I was getting schooled. Fucking teenage girls, I just know they're cheating somehow!
And eventually the game drew to a close when Liz cried out, "that's it! I quit! MJ's totally cheating!"
"Am not!" MJ laughed.
"Are too!" Felicia cried out, she's really competitive when she got drunk, and right now she was really drunk. "You keep making these shitty backdoor deals! You told me you wouldn't charge me rent four five turns if I gave you Mayfair, but offered Liz the same deal!"
"Yeah! And you then tried to make me give you my cards in exchange for the Utilities!" Jean yelled.
"Plus I saw you stealing money from the bank when no one was looking," I add with a smirk.
"What?!" the girls yelled as they all turned to Jean with a glare.
The red head gave a nervous laughter, "I-ah….I still win bitches!"
"I hate this game!" Liz threw her cash down in anger, "I'm going to bed!"
"Here, I'll show you to aunt Anna's room, just don't puke in it okay? Or you're going to help me clean it up," MJ got up and walked Liz out.
I sighed and leaned back, the flask was finally empty, I was finally starting to feel drunk, well, maybe a little buzzed, but not full on drunk.
I turned to Felicia, "so you staying here tonight?"
Felicia leaned into my shoulder, "yeah, I'll sleep on the couch down stairs. Jean, MJ said there's a guest room you can use."
Jean nodded, "yeah, I know."
