Ambre, Mon Coeur

Truth or Dare

AMBRE

TIME-LAPSE: 2 days

"But Ambre! I want ice cream for breakfast!" Aimee's high-pitched whinnying was getting on my nerves. "Aimee look, have some eggs and toast and then you can have ice cream after dinner today." I made sure my voice was sweet and pleading. "French: Promettre? // English: Promise?" She asked and cocked her eyebrow at me. " French:  Bien Sur Bebe. // English: Of course baby." She studied me to make sure if she believed me and then she grabbed a plate of breakfast and ran off to join Aliane and Alizee at the dining table. I sighed and sat down in the closest chair. I was still overwhelmed with negative energy from what Anais and Nelson had done but, It's not like I didn't kiss Ezra.

And it hurt my soul even more that I loved it so much. I loved it 100 times more than kissing Nelson. It felt wrong but oh so right. It made me feel like I was a bad person. I grabbed Ezra's fountain pen from my jean pocket. I immediately calmed down. I traced the embroidery with my pinger. Then placed the pen on my lips. The cool temperature weirdly made me wish to be in Ezra's arms. I wished I had known that he wasn't married. Things would have been much easier. I mean I had the pen. I could say that I was returning it. An excuse to see him. "Desiree! Look through the documents and find me Ezra's phone number!"

I felt giddy every time I cracked open a new book. This time, I was reading "Acrid" by Ruby Danso-Dankwah. I enjoyed mysteries and thrillers with touches of romance. I was that kind of person. "Yo Nerdalicious! Come into the pool! The water is Wicked! Or should I jut my chin and say satisfactory?" Nevaeh made fun of my dad's wife every time she got. And it was funny, every time.

TIME-LAPSE: 5 hours

"Dude let's play truth or dare!" Nevaeh gushed excitedly as she scooped ice cream into a giant mug. I looked up from my book. "What?" I put my book down and went to grab a spoon. "Come on it's going to be fun!" Nevaeh insisted. "I'm scared but I'm sure you won't make me do anything crazy." She places the mug of ice cream in the middle of us and then we sat down crisscross. "Rock Paper Scissors on who goes first." I held up the paper and Nevaeh held up scissors. "YES, I WIN!" Nevaeh pumped her fist. "So? Truth or dare?"

"Um truth?" Nevaeh rolled her eyes. "Okay, have you ever been arrested?" Her voice was bored. I shook my head. "Okay, my turn. Have you ever stolen before?" Nevaeh began to laugh uncontrollably. "Dude, stealing is my hobby! Nah, let me stop. Dude I'm gonna dare you. I have a feeling that you are so innocent that you could pick truth every time and be fine." I sighed.

"I dare you to get a piercing. Or else you have to go to your dad and tell him that sometimes he acts like an asshole." I began to shake my head before she could finish her sentence. There was no way I could do that. "Well, the longer you sit here the more piercings you have to get. One piercing. Two-" I cut her off. "Wait Nevaeh! I can't. What if he gets angry at me? I can't." Nevaeh snickered. "Seriously Ezra? Your in your 20's your dad and his wife treat you like a baby. And you let it happen. Come on grow a pair! Piercing Two!"

"um..." Nevaeh counted on "Piercing Three!" I couldn't. I kept picturing my dad's face if I said those words. What if he became angry and hated me? "Piercing four!" She bellowed. "Nevaeh I can't. I'll just get the piercings. I'm sure it's fine." Nevaeh got up and did a happy dance. "Come on Dude! This is going to be great! You'll thank me when all the girls want you." She skipped off to her room. I sighed and got up.

I looked at the piece of paper with Ezra's phone number on it. I took a deep breath before going to dial his number. It rang for a while before it was picked up. "Hello? Who is it?" A girl's voice came over the phone. "Um hello, it's Ambre is this Ezra's phone?" The girl gasped and then greeted me excitedly. "Ambre it's Nevaeh! Write down my phone number. 987-654-3210!" I chuckled and wrote down her number. "I have something of Ezra's and I was thinking if I could return it? If you're home?" I rambled on. "I could text you the address but we won't be home for some time. We're going out! So your gonna have to come by like tomorrow. Okay byeeeee!" she hung up.

I sighed and put my phone down. I twirled Ezra's pen in my hand.

My heart was beating as I drove one of my dad's cars to the nearest tattoo parlor. "Neveah I can't believe you're making me do this." She cackled. "Come on it's going to be fine! I'll get a tattoo with you!" I sighed. This was the most I was willing to do to make friends. It couldn't get worse. "Dude, girls love dick piercings! You gotta get one!" I guess it could.

TIME-LAPSE: 1 hour

I came out of the tattoo parlor with four piercings and a bestie tattoo.

EZRA&NEVAEH'S FRIENDSHIP TATTOO:

"Dude! You look so cool, like a soft boy with piercings! I love the nose one so much!" Nevaeh gushed.

EZRA'S NOSE PIERCING:

Authors note: Hello y'all in this picture the model is not how I picture Ezra, but his features appeared soft to me which is what I want to associate Ezra with.

"Which one is your favorite?" Nevaeh asked as we went back to the car. "I like the ears one because it didn't hurt too much," I explained. I had small black diamond studs in both my ears.

EZRA'S EARRING PIERCING:

I wondered what my dad was going to say. Well, I needed to stop caring and start living.

HEY YALL, THIS WAS MOSTLY A CHAPTER FILLER. VOTE AND COMMENT IF U CAN❤️❤️
