Temptations

Chapter 6

Gwens Pov~

-

I stood in shock as Lee cried into my shoulder. She kept telling me she was sorry and each time sobbing more violently.

"What are you sorry about?" I was finally able to make out.

She just looked at me with tears in her eyes. I cupped her face in my hands and wiped the tears with my callused thumbs.

I helped her regulate her breathing a bit so she could talk to me.

"What's wrong?"

"Me. I'm what's wrong." She sniffled and looked down at her hands. "I've literally been making things so unnecessarily hard for you."

"If this is about you calling me a dyke I'm over it. I don't care anymore-"

"Gwen. It's about everything. Literally everything I've done since you came out to me." She looked back up at me and looked directly into my eyes. "I'm sorry." My eyes strayed to her lips as she talked but hers stayed on my eyes.

I looked back at her to see her sincere look. I kept eye contact with her and leaned forward, connecting our lips without even realizing what I was doing.

Surprisingly instead of pushing away she kiss back and held my face as she did so. I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me as the kiss became longer and more passionate.

Soon I pulled away from her and looked at her. Her soft expression soon melted into a panicked one. She quickly hopped off of the counter and bolted out the door, telling her friend they needed to go all while I stood with a confused look, watching from the bathroom door, Storey looking at me with an even more confused look.

I walked slowly to her and she raised an eyebrow to me.

"What just happened?"

"I helped her clean her hand."

The next week went by quickly. Tuesday, wake up, school, sleep. Repeat for Wednesday-Friday until it was finally the weekend.

I got invited to a party and decided to go since I wasn't talking to Gale and Lee hadn't said anything to me after our kiss in the cafe bathroom. The party was at Cole's house. I didn't really go to parties much but Cole was convincing and I really needed to get my mind off of everything.

He obviously had a crush on me which was a red flag and I should've took it as a red flag and not gone but I didn't care so not only was I going to go to this party but I was also going to let him pick me up in his car.

Saturday night while my mom and dad were working and I told my brother I'd pay him to not snitch on me, I got ready in a pair of baggy jeans, a large shirt and simple makeup.

He came to pick me up and I made sure my phone was completely charged before getting into his car.

"Damn, you look good." He looked me up and down as I got close to the passenger seat.

"We're not doing this Cole. Just drive to your house and get attention from some other girl." He just shrugged and drove back to his place.

When I walked into the house, the music was blasting and people were in groups everywhere laughing and drinking and smoking. Cole walked over to his couch and wrapped his arms around a couple different girls. I just scoffed in disgust and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a drink from the island and downed in it one go.

Everyone around me was laughing and having a good time. I walked around the house to try and find someone I knew until I found a group of people I did know.

"Izzy!" I went quickly over to a short blonde girl who graduated a year before.

"Gwen!! Oh how are you?!" She brought me into a long hug.

"I'm so stressed out. I'm so happy to see you though! Where've you been?"

"I got accepted into Stanford University so I've just been staying around here in Santa Barbara for a while. I'm so happy to see you! Come! We're all hanging out in here away from the crowds." I followed Izzy into a room with a bunch of other people who had graduated with her or before her.

"Gwen!!" One of the girls stood up and adjusted her dress before bringing me into a hug.

"Hey Cass," I smiled at the girl and went to sit on a couch around the rest of them.

"How's school?" I groaned at the question and they all laughed.

"God it sucks. Gale is hanging out with the girl who outed me to the entire grade and he's acting like he doesn't know what he fucking did and speaking of the girl who outed me, we kissed in the cafe bathroom after she dropped one of the glass plates on the ground. She hasn't talked to me in a week."

Cass frowned at me and sighed.

"I'm so glad I'm out of school. Too much drama." I nodded. Someone handed me a cup with some drink in it and I sipped on it slowly.

"We should do something fun. Wanna play truth or dare?" Izzy smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. I don't remember exactly how I met Izzy but I remember having a giant crush on her. She was still pretty I just don't think I was as drawn to her as I used to be.

"Yes!!" A couple people shouted out.

Izzy looked at me for an answer and I shrugged.

"Why not?"

She clapped her hands together and sat down next to me.

"Okay, I'll go first-"

"WAIT! We need to do the thing where you can pass but if you do you have to take a shot!" Cass yelled out.

"We don't have any shot glasses dumbass." One of the guys laughed at her.

"I'll get one then, dick." She hissed at him and walked out the door, returning a few minutes later with a couple shot glasses.

"Okay, now I'll go first." Izzy looked around the room at everyone and her eyes landed on a raven haired girl, Rachael. "Rach, Who's the last person you had sex with?"

"My boyfriend."

"You sure?"

"What's that supposed to mean??"

Izzy shrugged and smirked.

Rachael sighed and continued the chain. I kept picking truth just because the dares were getting a bit spicy as people got more and more drunk and I didn't want to have to something I'd regret. But finally I decided to be bold.

"Gwen, truth or dare?"

I thought hard for a second before saying dare, earning a couple surprised looks from around the room.

"I dare you to kiss Izzy." I looked at Izzy while a couple people started to pull out their phones. She looked back at me.

"You don't have to." I scooted closer to her and pulled her into my lap before taking her chin in my hands and kissing her.

Oh my god a tear just ran down my leg. sorry.

After a long, drawn out kiss, she crawled off of my lap and sat next to me with our legs still touching. Everyone just looked at us with their jaws on the floor.

"What? You dared me to kiss her why are you surprised?" Cass laughed and looked at her phone.

"You kissed her alright."

"What??"

"Your guy's chemistry is through the roof." Rachael blurted out.

I looked over at Izzy to see her blushing and felt my face burn up as well.

"Okay whatever.." I brushed them off and they continued playing their game.

This is meant to scare you guys so I hope you're terrified.
