"Okay, my turn," Susan said, leaning back on the carpet to take a long drag of her cigarette. "Never have I ever... smoked weed."

There was a sound of clinking glasses and fizzy bubbles, as most of us in the room drank. The only exception was Allie, my girlfriend, who'd never smoked weed in her life. In a drinking game intended to reveal what naughty things each person in the room had done, hers was the only cup in the room that was still full.

Still, I was glad that my girlfriend was being a bit more social. She'd had a very sheltered childhood, and when we met, she was too shy to meet people or make friends. She didn't date or sneak out, and she didn't drink or party in college. In fact, it was only after meeting me that she'd learned to relax and enjoy the occasional house party.

It was Brad's turn after that. "Never have I ever..." he mulled, trying to think of something that hadn't been asked yet. "Never have I ever....dated two people at the same time."

There was a lot of giggling after that, as Ben, Chris and Susan all drank. "You mean like cheating?" Allie said, sitting bolt upright from her seat on my lap.

"Not exactly," Chris mumbled, sharing an embarrassed smile with his girlfriend. "We think of it as more like....polyamory."

"We have an open relationship," Susan explained gently, knowing it might be a new concept to Allie. "We both date other people sometimes, or just sleep with them. But we're both okay with it."

"But you have a boyfriend," Allie frowned, still not comprehending. "How can you be dating someone else? How does that even work?"

But as she asked, I recognized another emotion in Allie's face. She was leaning forward, her eyes wide and intent. Her lips were pursed, as if dying of curiosity and eager to explore the concept further.

"My turn," Ben said, his eyes briefly flitting towards Allie's face, as if he'd also noticed her rapt expression. "Never have I ever....been attracted to another guy while I already had a boyfriend."

Allie's face turned bright red when he said that, as if he'd exposed her innermost secret. Slowly, for the first time that night, she picked up her cup and took a drink.

Some Months LaterWe were back at Susan's house, and once again playing Never-have-I-ever. But things were a bit different this time: Allie was leaning comfortably against Ben's shoulder, her feet in my lap. She took a long drag from a joint before she passed it towards me, and then turned to refill her drink.

As the three of us lay puddled together on the futon, I tried not to notice the way Allie would occasionally run her fingers through Ben's hair. And I couldn't help the strange, occasional stirrings of jealousy when his arm slipped comfortably across her chest.

"Okay, my turn," Susan said. There had already been a lot of questions so for, as well as Truths and Dares. About half the people in the room had already lost or removed an article of clothing.

"Never have I ever," she mused, searching her memory for something that hadn't yet been asked. But then she saw Allie, and a wicked smile crossed her face. "Never have I ever made out with someone right before a house party."

I stared straight ahead, trying not to notice that Allie and Ben both took a drink.
