I Dare You...

Chapter 4

"You first Bray. Truth or dare?" I said.

"Truth." Wimp.

Teddy said "Have you ever kissed a girl you didn't like on the lips?"

"No. Your turn Ted. Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

Braydon grinned deviously. What is he gonna do? Whatever it is it's not gonna be good, that I can confirm because of the look on his face. Teddy notices and flashes me a scared and confused look. It like he's asking me through his eyes "What is he gonna do?" "I don't know. I'm just as confused as you are." I signed back with a shrug. I narrowed my eyes at Braydon and he flashed me a smirk.

"I dare you to kiss Emily. And because she's a slippery one it has to be on the lips." My eyes were the size of saucers. What was he doing?! That would be my first kiss! No way was I losing it to him!

"No! Not happening! Nope. Sorry. I won't do it."

"Emily Summers. If I didn't know any better if say you were afraid." Teddy said.

"Wha- I'm not afraid!" Lie. I was TERRIFIED at the thought of losing my first kiss to him.

"Oh come on Emma. It's just one kiss."

"If you think that you can sweet talk me into kissing you your outta your mind. I won't do it."

"Well, I will." He said and pressed his lips to mine. He was stealing my first kiss! After a few seconds of sitting there paralyzed he put his hands on my waist and my eyes fluttered shut and I kissed him back. I was actually enjoying this. When I felt his hand slide under my -Hunter's, I wore it so much it became mine- ginormous gray sweatshirt and my white tank top and touched my bare back I gasped giving him entrance. I was regretting wearing jean shorts today when he started feeling my legs and shifted closer and my heart rate skyrocketed. He must have sensed my discomfort - or felt my heart rate either way it works- because he moved his hands back to my waist. I placed mine on his chest grabbing a fistful of his shirt. I moved one of my hands to his thick jet black hair tugging on it slightly at the roots causing him to moan into my mouth. He pulled me onto his lap and kissed me harder. His fingers playing at the sensitive skin just above my waist. Braydon clearing his throat was the only thing that brought me back to reality.

This was Teddy.

I was kissing Teddy!

I pulled back and Teddy looked at me hungrily through his heavily lidded eyes. We were both breathing heavily. I dared a glance at Braydon and he was slack jawed. He had every right to be. If I'm being honest had I seen my best friend kiss their worst enemy I wouldn't be so calm. I would be one of them silent hurricanes. You don't see me coming then all of a sudden your nothing but a pile of ruble. Teddy's grip tightened on my waist and it seems as if he too has finally come back to his senses and even still he kept his hands on my waist. His eyes raked over my body and for some odd reason I blushed.

No way.

I was NOT blushing because of Teddy.

This could not be happening.

Teddy let me go and stood up and said "I umm... Should... Go.... I'll umm.... See ya... When... Ever." Rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Then he left. Something's wrong with him. The Teddy I know never babbles nervously. I doubt he even gets nervous. Braydon looked all too smug about this.

"So?"

"So what?" I said my mind still a little hazy.

"So how was the kiss?! Did you feel a spark?! What should your children's names be?! Where would you have the wedding?! Hunter could make your dress! And of course Ella and me will be in the wedding! Oh and since your dad won't be there Hunter could give you away! Your color scheme should be gold -for the groom- and white -for the Angel whose stolen his heart! Oh and you should go in Cleopatra style! And-"

"Stop! Stop, stop, stop! The kiss was awful and there was no spark! We are not gonna get married and have children and Hunter will not give me away to Teddy! He wouldn't! So stop planning my wedding! There's not gonna be a wedding! At least not to him!" I snapped and he gave me a flat look.

"If there was no spark then why did you two react like that and I saw the passion in the kiss. Trust me. You two have something."

"Yeah, we do. Mutual hatred."

"That's just a cover up for your unspoken attraction."

"Attraction?! To that brain dead jerk! Have you lost your mind?!"

"Hey maybe if you'd just admit your little crush then I wouldn't seem so outta my mind."

"I do NOT have a crush on Teddy."

"What you guys have isn't normal."

"How so?"

"You guys have pet names for each other. Not even his girlfriends call him Teddy. You two flirt shamelessly like it's no ones business. And that kiss you say had 'no spark' was filled with heat and passion that not even you can fake."

"Okay, first I call him Teddy because he hates it. We do not flirt shamelessly. We don't flirt at all! And the kiss meant nothing."

"We both know that's a lie! Just admit it meant something!"

I felt a flood of unorthodox anger burst through my chest and I blurted out before I could stop it "Ugh! Of course it meant something! It was my first kiss!" Then it really hit me. Teddy was my first kiss. It's different just thinking it. I could convince myself it didn't really happen and that I still had it, but saying it aloud was something else entirely.

"I thought that you already had that."

"You never asked so I never told you."

"Teddy was your first kiss!"

"Yeah, I thought we'd established that."

"Come on! Let's go!" He grabbed my hand and started dragging me down the stairs.

"Where are we going?"

"I've been looking for an excuse to change your look and this is it!"

"What's wrong with my look?"

"Oversized hoodies and shorts aren't gonna cut it anymore."

"I like my look." I shrugged. It's worked for me so far.

"We're gonna buy some clothes and let Hunter embellish them. Better yet. Call Hunter and tell him to meet us at the mall. Tell him it's a fashion emergency." I knew better than to fight him so I did it. We went to the mall. Which sucks, wanna know why. I hate shopping. That's why.
