Dancing With A Stranger (GH Series Book 3)

Truth revealed

Well, fuck me sideways. I'm not sure if I wanted Carmen to ever find out my threesome with Dev and Angel, but here I am, with her big eyes searching mine and I'm not about to start to lie now. Swallowing hard, my voice came out almost in a whisper. "Yes..."

"I knew it!"

"How?"

"The way Angel looked at you to keep your mouth shut."

"I'm surprised it was her. It's usually Dev that tells me to keep it zipped." Well, this doesn't seem too bad so far.

"When did it happen?"

"A few years back." Carmen seemed to let out a sigh of relief. "Wait. You thought it was recently?"

"Yes." I gave her a questionable look to ask her why. "You were hanging out with them when I was on the rescue Jordan mission, so thought you may have..."

"Wait. I will stop you right there." I moved so we were sitting up for this conversation. "You thought I cheated? After everything I have been through...?"

"Believe it or not Liv, I can be insecure as well." Okay. Calm yourself down Olivia.

"Sorry. It hurt a little thinking I would cheat on you. Why would I want to do that when I'm completely in love with you." Okay. That's a big revelation on my behalf. I've told Carmen I love her, but never expressed that I'm in love with her.

"What...?"

"Nothing". I mumbled. I've probably freaked her out now. Way to go Liv!

"You said you are in love with me."

"Yeah, I did." Carmen's face turned in to a full beam smile. Like so blinding when a car drives towards you without dipping their headlights.

"I'm in love with you too." I let out a sigh I didn't realise i was holding in. But I still want details."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, I'm curious. How many times?"

"Once."

"Under the influence or sober?"

"Definitely under the influence. When you were saving Jordan, I was at theirs and I took a shot of absinthe and Angel quickly shut those shots off as that was what made us a little...more open I guess."

"So, how did it all come about?"

"Truth or Dare."

"Dared to have a threesome?"

"No. But that was the beginning of it."

"Do tell..."

Liv narrating a flashback

We had hit the club as usual and the music that night, well it was utter shite. We decided to take the party back to theirs. There were a few of us to begin with, but one by one, they started leaving and Dev made a comment that it was just the three of us left. I offered to leave if I were intruding and Angel was quick to shoot me down and insisted that I could stay for as long as I wanted to. Obviously, I thanked Angel and continued to drink and chat and before we knew it, we had done some shots and sitting around their coffee table in the living room, when truth or dare was started. Angel was the first and she asked for a truth.

Dev asked her: "Out of our friends, if I wasn't in the picture, who would you wanna snog?"

"Ollie."

"Really, why?"

"You're fun to be around. Angel shrugged her shoulders like it was no big deal and to me it wasn't either as I know that those two were absolutely made for one another. A few more drinks later and I was brave enough to say that I would do a dare and Angel smirked. "I dare you to kiss Dev." It wasn't what I was expecting but I kissed her cheek and we burst out laughing. "Hey! That wasn't a kiss."
