The Boys Next Door

So much more than a dare

I pushed Thomas away and I blinked and saw all the gang standing in the doorway, I felt exposed. I started to follow them out the bathroom when Thomas grabbed my hand and yanked me back in. He closed the door and hoisted me onto the counter for more.

His hands left a warm tingle wherever he touched my bare skin. I melted into him and he kissed me again and I kissed him back. I fumbled to undo his buttons and took off his shirt so that we were both half naked. I stroked his back as he kissed my neck and I whispered in his hear "how about that coffee?" he laughed and kissed me on the cheek. He went into his room to change into a t-shirt as his shirt was covered in sweat.

I headed back downstairs to join the others and as I passed the hallway mirror I re-adjusted my bralette and cleaned up my smudged lipstick. I walked into the room to find everyone whispering, they saw me and stared in silence all smiling like 5-year-olds. Kaya and Ava came over to me and took me into the kitchen. "omg Emily you and Thomas are so cute together you should totally go out" said Kaya excitedly.

 Ava squirmed "I bet he's freaking out upstairs. You're the first girl he's ever liked since, Isabella. They broke up about a month ago. He was devastated. He caught her with another guy."

 "That's terrible he must have been so upset", I said. 

" In fact, you're the fourth person he's dated EVER so you must be really special to him. I haven't seen him this happy".

We walked back into the where the rest of the gang, who were now joined by Thomas. They were talking. "I think that's enough strip truth or dare for one night" laughed Ki Hong. Everyone retired for bed. Dylan and Ki Hong were on the sofas and Will was in the guest bedroom. Ava, Kaya and I were in Ava's room and Thomas was in his. Everyone totally passed out after an exhausting evening. I couldn't sleep; not after what happened. I got out of bed to found that Kaya had snuck into the guest bedroom and was in bed with Will. I heard muffled noises through the door. I rolled my eyes and sneaked downstairs and slid through the backdoor. I sat down next to the pool with my legs kicking the water. All I could think about was that kiss.

I heard a window open. It was Thomas. "psst...Emily... come up here" He smiled and shut the window. I returned to the house and went up to Thomas' room.
