Make My Way

Chapter Fifty-Seven

Stella's POV

I finished my shower and walked out I to my parents room in only a towel. Xavier and I were the only ones using the master bathroom so I really didn't care and obviously neither did he. I found him sitting on the couch, looking at his phone, completely naked. I had seen him naked before, we used to go skinny dipping in the stream not to far from here, but that had been almost three years ago. In my mind I couldn't help but think, Holy shit. If he wasn't my cousin, I think I'd be all over him. I shook my head and said, "Xavier, your turn." He looked up and walked across the room to the bathroom, not a care in the world.

I put on my tank that said 'I am a unicorn' and purple spandex. I went downstairs to find Aria talking to Blake and Aurora who were both blushing a lot. Aria was laughing as I walked in. "What's going on?" I asked.

When Aurora and Blake didn't respond, Aria started talking for them. "When Blake got out of the shower he forgot his clothes out here so he came out here to change and Aurora just happened to be looking at the wrong place at the wrong time when the towel fell." Now I was laughing too. When everyone was done showering and Xavier had fixed his hair, we sat down in the living room. Aurora was clearly still uncomfortable with Blake after what she saw but it made the rest of us smile.

Xavier was the last one down and, being him, he wasn't going to sit on the floor even though all the chairs were taken. His solution was to come lay on top of Aria and I on the love seat. She got the head, I got the tail. We tried to push him off but of course that didn't work. Eventually, he ended up squeezing between us in the couch. We talked for a while but it was only delaying the inevitable game of truth or dare that everyone knew was coming.

"Aria, truth or dare?" Blake asked.

"Dare."

You could see in his eyes he already had something in mind. "Lick someone in three places. It has to be a guy." I saw her look around the room. There was Adrian, Merrick, Blake, and the one and only Xavier, who was still sprawled across our laps. We both knew Blake and Merrick were off limit because of Aura and Vivian, an she wouldn't choose Adrian either, especially with me sitting next to her which left her date who's head was conveniently already on her lap. She awkwardly leaned down and licked his face three times in slightly different spots. Afterwards, he scrunched up his face and wiped it on her shirt.

"Adrian, truth or dare?" she asked after a moment of thought.

"Dare," he said immediately.

"French kiss the best French kisser in the room."

"I can't do that," he said, "I haven't French kissed every girl here so I don't know."

"Okay so I amend my statement. French kiss every girl in the room," Aria said, smirking.

"No!" Vivian exclaimed.

"Okay so everyone except Vivian." Aria's statement made multiple people in the room relax.

Adrian sighed. "Wait so do I still need to do it if I've already French kissed them before?"

"Who have you French kissed before?" Blake questioned slyly.

"Well Aria and kind of Stella but that wasn't really a French kiss it was more just open..." He faded off as he realized explaining it was weird and I felt my face get hotter."

"Then yeah. Kiss all three of them," Blake decided for him.

Adrian groaned dramatically but did the dare. Aurora had never French kissed someone so that was super awkward but extremely funny to watch. Then Aria. There wasn't anyone here who hadn't seen them do that before but now it made me feel different, almost jealous. Then it was my turn. He was right the last time wasn't actually a French kiss, but this was.

"So?" Blake asked, "Who was the best?"

"Who was the best or who did I enjoy kissing most?" Adrian questioned back, "because those are two different people."

"Best" Blake blurted.

"Uhh," he looked at me with regret and disappointment in his eyes, "Probably Aria."

In my mind I silently screamed. I wasn't mad. I definitely wasn't mad. That was the first time I'd actually French kissed someone. Neil didn't count because he didn't really use tongue even though I had gotten to second with him. I knew Aria had more experience and that was probably why she was better and I had to be the one he enjoyed most. I mean it was between me and Aurora, and I was fairly confident Adrian didn't like her.

"Merrick, truth or dare?" Adrian asked.

"Truth." First one of the night.

"Who in this room would you want to go to what base with. There has to be one for each."

"Uh," he had to think, "First, Aura because she's like my sister and even that's weird. Second, Stella." It made sense, I guess I did have the biggest boobs... "Third, Aria and all the way with Vivian." We all kinda nodded, his order made sense. "Blake, truth or dare?" he asked.

"Truth."

"Which girls in this room have ever actually like turned you on?" Merrick asked.

Blake's face turned red as he muttered, "Aria."

"I have an idea guys," Aria said, breaking the awkward silence that followed. "How about we do group truths and dares." When no one objected, the new twist on the game began.
