Make My Way

Chapter Twenty

Stella's POV

He's sitting right next to me. He's not wearing a shirt. Oh gosh. What do I do?

"Truth," Aura decided.

"Who do you like?" Easton asked. A generic question, but always one that has to be asked.

"Um, well," I saw her glance over at Xavier quick before finally saying, "Caden."

"Wait, like Aria's ex-boyfriend?" Easton asked.

She sighed, "Yeah...."

"Well then," Easton faded off.
"Stella, truth or dare?" Aura asked.

"Truth."

"Have you ever been in love?" Of course. Only Aurora would ask something like that.

"I don't think so. I mean, I've liked people but I don't think I've ever been in love. I think I'd know, right?" I questioned myself at the end. Could someone be in love without knowing it? "Aria, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to kiss the person to your right." Aria looked over to see Adrian sitting there. She walked over to him kissed him quickly and kneed him where the sun doesn't shine. He collapsed in pain and she just turned around and brushed off her hands. The room erupted in laughter.

She sat back down on Blake and turned her head to Liam. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"On a scale from one to ten, rate every girl in this room's personality."

He exhaled thoughtfully and began. He didn't rate anyone below a six or above an eight so it wasn't interesting until he got to Willow. "Nine and a half," he said. Everyone ooed and ahed. A few people whistled. "Willow, truth or dare?"

"Dare," she said taking a risk.

He took a deep breath and went for it. "I dare you to make out with me."

"Well I've never actually done this before but here goes nothing." She pushed her lips into his and he kissed back. There was so much passion in that one kiss that as they kept going and moving together it was crazy that they could put any more passion into it. They moved together so smoothly that I didn't believe Willow had never made out with someone before.

Some of the guys whistled. Everly leaned up to me and whispered in my ear, "I know they're not even on second, but I hope they don't go too much farther or we might have cover Aurora's eyes." I laughed at her quiet comment. It was a little bit too true.

After at least a minute and a half, they finally came up for air. Willow, who had ended up on top of him, got up and sat down next to him again.

We played for a while longer and made sure everyone had a turn before I suggested a new game. "Hey, I saw this game online. Its like spin the bottle but instead of kissing someone you have to draw a dare out of a bowl and do it with that person. We can all just write down some and put them in a bowl." Everyone nodded and I grabbed seven things of sticky notes and some pens along with a bowl.

I handed one pack to Aria and Blake, Willow and Liam, Laine and Easton, Vivian and Merrick, and Adrian and Everly. Everly protested and asked to go with someone else but no one wanted to go with Adrian so she was stuck. I set the bowl down in the middle of the room. I took the last pack of sticky notes and pen over to my spot and sat back down by Neil.

Each group put in six sticky notes and we started the game. We decided to do the same rules as truth or dare and that you couldn't put clothes back on from the last game. (Blake and Neil were still shirtless.) we all sat down on the floor in two circles, one of the guys and one of girls. This was so when a girl was spinning, they'd go to the guy circle so that it couldn't land on a girl and vice versa.

I spun first. The old coke bottle spun around and around. It slowed down and stopped on Easton. I bumped slightly with my foot it so that it went a little farther and landed on Xavier. I knew that this was going to be awkward considering we were first cousins.

I drew a sticky note from the bowl and unfolded it. It was written in cute loopy handwriting. It read, Kiss three places on their body.

I read it out loud and went to my cousin. I kissed his forehead and both cheeks. I patted him on the head and sat back down in the circle of girls. Xavier came over and spun the bottle on our circle. It landed on Aura.

I saw her eyes light up and I rolled mine. He picked a note and read it to us, "Hug."

She stood up and hugged him before he sat back down. She went to the other circle looking a little disappointed. She spun the bottle and it landed on Merrick. She drew a note and read it. "Lick face...."

She reluctantly went to him and licked his forehead. He grimaced. Aura left the room to go get a drink of water and Merrick spun it in our circle and it landed on Vivian. He drew a sticky. "Leave the room and do something dirty."

I laughed knowing that was either Easton's or Adrian's. They walked out of the room and went into the bedroom on this floor. After a while, we heard some.... interesting sounds. Groans and things like that. Easton cracked open the door and peaked inside. "Cheaters!" he exclaimed.

He pushed the door open all the way, revealing Merrick and Vivian sitting in the floor next to each other looking at Merrick's  phone. "There wasn't anything saying that we had to be the ones doing something dirty. We're watching quite the intense make out scene."

Everyone started laughing and we migrated back out to the living room. Vivian had to slap Liam's butt. He then ended up having to kiss Everly and she had to run her fingers through the back of Blake's hair.

"Okay, well we should probably be done soon, it's 3 AM," Neil said.

"Yeah it's really late. Do you all just want to sleep here for the night? I have plenty of beds," I offered. Everyone nodded their consent. They called their parents and everyone could sleep over.

So that's how I ended up with seven guys sleeping at my house.
