Martinez Twins Fanfiction

Chapter 9

• • •

The next day, I walk sleepily down the stairs to get breakfast. Everyone is already up.

"There she is!" Jake cheers. "The beast sleeps late again!"

"Ha ha, very funny," I say sarcastically. "I'm still a little jet lagged."

"No you're not," Chance joins in. He points a finger at me jokingly. "You're just using it as an excuse to sleep in!"

I put my hands up and laugh. "You got me, I like to sleep!" Then, I grab some cereal and sit down at the table to eat.

Erika asks me if I want to get my nails done with her and Tessa.

"That's okay, I'll stay here," I answer. "I heard Jake had something fun planned for his video today."

Turns out, Jake decided we were going to play "Dare or Dare". It's pretty much truth or dare, but without the truth. He wrote down a bunch of dares and put them in a bowl so we could all pick.

After Tessa and Erika leave, we all sit around the kitchen counter and play.

Chad opts to go first. He pulls a slip of paper out of the bowl and reads, "jump in the pool".

After completing the dare, we let him change clothes and then continue playing.

Now, it is Anthony's turn. He picks a paper that says "plug something". He grabs Jake's camera and runs off with it, plugging as many things as he can before Jake catches up and takes his camera back.

Soon, it's Ivan's turn. He pulls out a slip and faces us. "Kiss someone," he reads. Since I'm the only girl, everyone turns and looks at me.

"Oh god," I mumble.

"It has to be five seconds," Jake tells Ivan.

Ivan walks over to me and my face starts to heat up because everyone is watching.

He puts his hands on my cheeks and pulls me in. The moment our lips touch, I feel sparks. My heart skips a beat and I run my hand through his hair.

When he pulls away, everyone is staring at us with wide eyes and hanging jaws. It is silent for a few seconds and then all the boys start screaming, "OOOHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Ivan just smiles at me. I look down at my feet, blushing.

"Oh my god!" Jake yells into his vlog camera. Then he gives Ivan a fist pump. "Bro, that was awesome!"

The guys forget about it quickly because it was just a challenge to them. I, on the other hand, felt something special between Ivan and me. It was a beautiful kiss, and it meant something to me.

My dare ends up being me standing in a bucket of ice. Honestly, it was pretty easy since I come from Maine and I'm so used to the cold.

When we finish the game, Jake lets me say the sign off for his vlog. "Guys, we'll see you tomorrow because . . . IT'S EVERYDAY BRO! PEACE!" I say into the camera.

Soon, we all head upstairs to get some sleep.

I'm sitting on my bed in my plaid pants and a tank top when someone knocks on my door.

"Come in," I call.

Ivan opens the door and walks into my room.

"Hi, Laina," he says.

"Oh hey, Ivan. What's up?" I respond.

"I just wanted to make sure you didn't feel awkward from our kiss earlier."

"Um, no. Why would I?"

"I don't know, maybe us kissing would be weird and ruin our friendship."

"If anything, I think we got closer." We smiled at each other.

"Can I hug you like last night?" he asked.

"Of course," I replied. He wrapped his arms around me and I rested my head on his chest.

"Good night, Ivan," I whispered.

"Good night, Laina."
