Endless Determination

Chapter 27: Truth or Dare at the hands of the real beast

    After I scrubbed at the blood for a few minuets I finally got it off. Wiping some sweat off my forehead with the back of my head I walk down the stairs again." Sorry to keep you waiting." I look to Rai, as he snaps out of his daze and sit next to him." Well, I'm just glad your alright, it's gonna be a long night." I nod and watch Rais expression face deep concentration." Aha!" I jump at his quick reaction and blush as he almost crawls on top of me with excitement." Truth or Dare, Truth or Dare!" I laugh nervously at how close Rai was to me and he backs away and slaps his hands together." Okay, you first. Truth or Dare?" I look at Rai completely confused." Uh..u-h...what?" Rai looks at me and his jaw drops." HUH?! You've never played Truth or dare?! Who the heck raised you?!" I look at his reaction and feel a bit ashamed I had never learned the game." Well, anyway. Since you never played before, I'll go first. Ask me "truth or dare." I nod and blush as I stutter out the words hoping not to mess up." Truth." I look at him and tilt my head as he says that." Now ask me a question, and I have to tell the truth." Being my scatterbrained self I had no questions in mind so I just sat there thinking for a minuet." Ahh. I got one!" I say putting my finger up trying to seem like I had something good," H-have...you ever kissed anyone?" I remembered Kuran taking my first kiss, I was still worried about him, even with Rai by my side I couldn't stop praying that he will be okay. Rai blushes intensely." I-I expected you to go a bit easier on me...s-since it's your first try."  I am shocked by his reaction and unintentionally give him an intrigued expression and get a bit closer." I-I-I.......I-I...I HAVENT!" Rai looks so red and embarrassed that I thought he was about to cry but he managed to lighten up when I smiled and said I hadn't either. Thinking that I had to kiss someone not be kissed." Okay, Truth or Dare?" I look a bit more confident but am still unsure about the game." U-Uh...w-what's dare?" Rai looks at me with a devilish smile." Dare it is then!!"'he gets to thinking as I try to explain to him that I was just asking but he ignores me." I dare you to...kiss me." Rai looks at me with a serious stare as I freeze up and blush." What?!"
