The Return (De Laurel Trilogy #1)

"Truth or dare, everybody!" Gigi slurred, giving all of us shots. "Who wants to go first?" She asked as she sat back down beside Lewis. Everyone was here. Even Olen, Nico, and Savannah. Savannah was sending Olen glares and glances though. Nico on the other hand was straight up flirting with me.

It was about a month since the event at the King's. Alexander has tried to contact me but I had ignored him. He would also go to my office and just pester me. I had to call security just to escort him out since he was causing a ruckus.

"I will go first." I volunteered. "Nico! Truth or dare?" I asked.

"Hm. Dare." He answered cockily. "I want a challenge."

"I dare you to tell us a secret that you have not told anyone yet. Even Olen or Nic." I looked up at him with a grin.

"I'm gay."

"What?!" We all said simultaneously.

"Since when?" I asked as I wiped my mouth when I almost spilled the vodka inside it. "You're so flirty that I don't realize that you're gay. Congratulations for coming out though."

"Thanks." He smiled. "You still up for a date?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

"You wish." I nudged him, rolling my eyes.

"Are you going to tell mom and dad about it?" Nic piped in, taking a sip of his beer.

"Maybe," He shrugged. "Not right now though."

"I'm sure they'll be happy." Lewis sent Nico a wink.

"Wait." I paused making everyone look at me. "You two?" I pointed at Nico and Lewis. "Are you guys seeing each other?" Both of their eyes widened like saucers.

"How'd you know?" Lewis asked.

"You just leaked it." I stuck my tongue out, before popping a piece of meat in my mouth. "Yucks!" I shrieked when I realized. "You were straight up flirting with me! That's just gross, Nico! When did you even get together anyway?"

"About a month or so." Nico answered.

"Nico!" I swatted his head. "You are so gross! " I hit him again and again. "Isn't that considered cheating, though.

"No." Lewis shook his head. "Besides, Nico does have a flirty personality, but who blames him?"

"I don't." I played with the insides of my cheek. "Who's next?"

"Me." Nico answered. "Liv. Truth or dare?"

"Truth," I leaned back, crossing my legs together.

"Like what you did to me. Tell us a secret." He smirked.

"Okay." I cleared my throat, accepting it. "My ex wants me back." I bit my lip.

"Oh hell, no!" Olen exclaimed, slamming his glass on the table. "You don't plan on going back to him, are you?"

"I don't know." I looked down, fidgeting my fingers. "He told me the truth, you know."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"You knew." I sneered. "You told him about Oliver and I's birthday in Spain! You told him to go and he did! He was there, Olen and you didn't tell me! You lied. You actually lied. You were the one who was so positive for the both of us yet you lied to me."
