Rejected.

"So let's play truth or dare" Neena suggested, after we'd gotten settled around the fire with marshmallows

"Sure" Will said, foolishly thinking that nothing bad would come out of this game but Neena and truth or dare was not a good combination

"Here's a bottle" Will handed over an empty coke bottle to Neena and she sent him a bitter-sweet smile before turning towards me with a mischievous glint in her eyes

"Shall we begin?" once I nodded, reluctantly, Neena took the bottle and spun it and it conveniently stopped at me

"Truth or dare?" Neena asked excitedly

"Truth" I said deciding to play on the safe side and I was given the satisfaction of seeing Neena's evil smile drop for a second

"Okay-" she started the sentence but was interrupted by Will

"Was our kiss your first kiss?" Will asked, I looked up at Will and immediately regretted doing so. The fire cast shadows on his perfectly chiseled face making me absentmindedly lean towards him. I shook myself and successively ridded myself of thoughts of Will. We had rejected the mating bond. We hated each other. Therefore I could not keep thinking about how attractive Will looked.

"Yes it was my first kiss" his face changed and he seemed to be facing an inner turmoil just as I was but he couldn't possibly be thinking along the same lines as me, could he? No, I thought resolutely. Will would never waver from the decision he had made, of rejecting me, and I couldn't let my determinition to feel nothing for him waver either.

Will and I were strictly business. He was here as my escort, nothing more and nothing less. As long as I kept that in mind I would be alright. The question to be asked though, was, could I keep in mind that Will and I were nothing but acquaintances?
