My Best Friend or my Boyfriend?

Chapter 5

At around 10:30, Vanessa finally left Xzander's house. "What do you want to do now?" Xzander asked you. "I don't know... Wanna play a game?" "Sure" Xzander said with a smile. "How about truth or dare?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow and grinning.  You rolled your eyes. "Fine, but only for a little while, then I have to head home." Your parents weren't expecting you to come home before at least midnight because they knew that you liked to stay at Xzander's for a little while after the game's over. "Truth or dare?" You asked him. "Truth," he answered. You took a deep breath and then puffed it out quickly "here goes nothing," you thought. "Why are you dating Vanessa? She treats you horrible." You stated simply. You could tell that Xzander was getting kind of nervous. "Honestly, I don't know anymore," he answered quietly. "I used to think she was an amazing person... But-" he trailed off. "I think I might break up with her." "Oh." You said. "Sooooo," Xzander drew out the word, trying to sound overly-excited. "Truth or dare?" "Dare," you answered with a reckless grin. "I dare you to do the best cartwheel you possibly can," he said, smirking. You took a deep breath, moved the coffee table and attempted a cartwheel. You were definitely not a gymnast. As soon as you put your hands on the ground, the whole world turned upside down. Your life flashed before your eyes as your foot got caught in the rug and you face planted on the hardwood. "Ouch!" You exclaimed in pain. That hardwood floor did some real damage to your cheek. You could feel it swelling. "(Y/N) are you okay?!" Xzander asked in concern. "Yeah. I'm fine." You groaned on the floor. "Let's not do that anymore." "Here, let's get some ice on that," he said. "Thanks," you mumbled as he helped you onto the counter, holding an ice pack against your cheek. "Man! You have a hard floor," you said, laughing. "Sorry again," he said nervously. "Ah, it's no biggie," you protested. "I think it makes me look tough." You said, making a serious face and then bursting into laughter. "You're the toughest chick I know," Xzander said with a smirk. "Your my best friend (Y/N), and I never want anything bad to happen to you." He said, his crystal blue eyes locked on yours. "You're my best friend too," you said with a smile. You looked at your watch, hopped off the counter and headed toward the door. "You know, I really need to head-" "Wait" Xzander chimed in. You quickly spun around and he gave you a bear hug. You couldn't help but laugh. "Xzander! I really have to-" this time, you were cut off by a... Kiss? "Was Xzander actually kissing you?" You thought. You were totally caught off guard. You suddenly heard a slam behind you. "Oh no!" You thought. "If this is Vanessa, she will freak out on me." You turned around slowly to find Xzander's parents in the doorway with their jaws practically on the floor. How are you gonna get out of this one?
