His Shortcake

Chapter Twenty Four ~Truth or Dare~

~Truth or dare~

It was the last night here, so Maddie came up with the brilliant idea of playing truth or dare. "This is such a childish game." I mutter.

"Not if you involve alcohol." Maddie smirks.

"How are you going to involve it?" Grace asks.

"Any time you pick truth you have to take a shot before you answer." She explains.

We were all sitting in a circle, me, Maddox, Fay, Grace, Maddie, then Laura.

"I'll be in control of the drinks and the spokesman." Fay says getting up. Fay didn't drink and never has.

"Starting with Maddie. Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to go outside topless for a minute."

"Damn Fay if you wanted to see my tits you just had to ask." She stands up and starts to take her shirt off. Immediately I cover Maddox's eyes.

Once she is out I pull my hands away. "You're cute when you're jealous."

"That wasn't jealousy. That was not wanting you to look at another topless girl." I point out.

"Fair point." He chuckles and I cover them when she comes back in.

"Fuck it's cold as shit out there." Maddie wraps herself in a blanket.

"Okay next. I'll go Maddox truth or dare?" Fay asks.

"Truth." He says and she pours him a shot. He immediately takes it. "Now what's my truth?" He asks handing the cup back.

"When was the first time you noticed Tatum?" She asks. Oh that's a good question and everyone here knows. It was when he fought Tommy and I got in the way.

"Let me think here." He actually looks like he is thinking.

The rest of us share a look because we knew but he was really thinking about this.

"Okay got it. So I'm not sure of the date. But it was at a party, she was wearing this really sexy blue dress. She was dancing with Laura and she was so lost in the music, that she didn't notice some couch bag trying to bring on her.

Granted I was dating someone it pissed me off, so I went over and dragged that fucker out and beat him." He says.

We all look at him and I can sort of recall the memory. I think it was sophomore year. I remember being really into the music, but then it got disrupted by a fight.

"Dude I remember that. Poor Mike got the fuck kicked out of him." Laura says.

"Yeah and I would have done more had the cops not showed up." He grumbles. I continue to stare at him.

"Okay Tate truth or dare?" She asks.

Everyone looks at me. "Uh I guess dare." I say.

"Let's see." I see her racking her brain for something.

"Oh I got a dare." Grace says.
