Mine (Part III) - Nolou/Uglydolls Fanfic

2 ~ Dare

Taylor: "My turn! Okay... Lou. You're my victim."

I faced my body towards her. Heather's bedroom was filled with pink and all kinds of girly things like makeup and posters about positivity. 

Taylor:"Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

I said with all the confidence I'd ever had.

Taylor: "How old are you?"

The room was silent for a second.

Heather: "Oh, that's a good one!"

Mandy: "Nobody knows this.."

They all awaited my answer.

"I- I meant to say dare..."

Mandy: "No, you didn't-"

"I said dare."

I told myself to calm down. No one would understand. But my age was something personal to me. I'd never told anyone before.

Taylor: "Okay then.. a dare. Hm..."

I hoped it wouldn't be too wild. Though, I could do many things. Handstands, pushups, hold my breath for 2 minutes.. I wasn't that worried.

Taylor: "Ah, I got it. I dare you..
to kiss me."

The room once again, fell silent.
The spy girls smiled awkwardly  and began whispering to each other. Heather and Mandy looked concerned for me. They probably still thought I wasn't over Nolan. 

Well, I was gonna prove them wrong.

I got up from my sitting position and made my way to Taylor. I crouched down and met her face to face. My heart raced like I was doing something illegal. Like robbing a bank or.. cheating on someone.

I told myself it was just a kiss.
I told myself it wouldn't really mean anything.

Taylor: "What's wrong? You chicken?"

She smirked in the flirtiest way possible.
I took one final breath and moved closer. No one was making a single sound. She looked at my mouth and back into my eyes. I leaned closer to her until eventually, we kissed.

We broke away after a second and I went back to my original seating. Mandy covered her mouth as if I had just compromised a mission or something.

I didn't want to look at anyone. I didn't even know what I was feeling anymore.

Heather: "Alright.. who next..?"

Tuesday: "I wanna kiss Lou!"

Lydia: "Yeah, I didn't know we could do that-"

Mandy: "No one else will be kissing Lou!"

Kitty: "No fair!"

Tuesday: "But I wanna kiss him too!"

Heather: "Who cares about Lou? I wanna kiss Olivia~!"

Olivia: "W-what?!"

I could feel my face getting hotter. I looked up at the only girl who wasn't talking. The girl I kissed.
She looked down at the floor but I could tell that her face was red from embarrassement.

At some point, people were getting upset that they couldn't "kiss Lou", so we decided to call it a night. Everyone left Heather's home, simultaneously spreading out in different directions. The girls' night out was fun for the most part. Before the truth or dare game we'd done Just Dance, celebrity Kiss Marry Kill and other dumb games like that. It was kind of fun to be honest. Even if it was just for a little, I could finally think of something other than Nolan.

Taylor: "L-Lou?"

I turned my head to see brown eyes looking right at me.

"Yes?"

She blushed a little. The wind blew against her hair.

Taylor: "I wanted to say I was sorry. For daring you to kiss me earlier.. to be honest I didn't think you'd do it. I was being insensitive to you so.. I'm sorry!"

"Why do you think you were insensitive?"

Taylor: "Well, I just met you. It really wasn't my business daring you to do something like that. I just thought you're like, really hot and well I was just being stupid.."

I smiled at her.
"It's alright. It was just a game. Right?"

Taylor: "Uh, yeah..."

"Well.. goodnight, then."
I turned to leave.

Taylor: "Wait!"

I turned back around and she nearly bumped into me.

Taylor: "Um. Uh.. what do you think of me?"

"Hm?"

Taylor: "Well, I told you I think you're hot.. so, what do you think of me?"

She rubbed the pendant on her necklace for comfort.

"Well.. I think you're pretty."

She blushed again and smiled.
Taylor: "Pretty enough to go out on a date with me?"

"Oh..."

I guess I took too long to think about it because she eventually spoke up and told me I could think about it.

Taylor: "What's ur Instachat? We can follow each other."

"Instachat?"

Taylor: "Yeah. You know.. your social."

I tilted my head. Before my coma, our phones only had regular text and call. I didn't understand.

Taylor: "Here, give me your phone. I can make an account for you if you don't have one."

"Sure.."

~~~

Taylor: "Now, just put your email."

I entered it in and showed her.
She looked and giggled like it was the funniest thing.

Taylor: "Lou.isabean@email.com ? You're so funny!"

She pushed my arm playfully. I smiled in response, though I wasn't the one who made up the email name. I had Nolan to thank for that.

Taylor: "There you go. You can change your profile picture here.. Put a name and bio here. To post something is here.. and yeah, you can follow anyone in the institute. You're already following me."

She handed my phone back and let me look around. Suddenly I got a notification "Taylorsversion has followed you".

Taylor: "I'm your first follower! Now we can message, call or stalk- I mean check up on each other whenever we want."

"Thank you."

She explained a few more things before wishing me a good night and leaving.

I wasn't totally sure how I felt about her yet.

But...

It felt nice to be wanted.

Though, maybe I was just fooling myself.
