Make My Way

Chapter Fifty-Eight

Stella's POV

The first question asked was who in the room did you think was the hottest, and your answer could not be your prom date. I automatically said Xavier. He was my cousin so I could call him hot and it wasn't weird and he definitely was. He said me. Aria and Aurora said Adrian, and Vivian said Blake. Merrick said Aura, and Blake and Adrian said Aria. Then came a dare. "I dare everyone here to kiss the person you find most attractive; this one can be your prom date," Blake said and rammed his lips into Aura's, spreading the most shocked look I've ever seen across her face. I cautiously turned to look at Adrian to find him already looking at me. I leaned in and pressed my lips to his. It wasn't as passionate as earlier tonight, but it was nice. Sweet. We broke apart find Aria and Xavier still kissing. Apparently everyone had kissed their prom dates. Aurora and Blake had kissed first followed my the other two couples, and then me and Adrian. Vivian and Merrick had just given each other a quick peck and we all knew neither Aria or Xavier did anything halfway. They broke apart when the doorbell rang.

I got up to answer the door. Standing outside on the steps was Willow and Alonzo, they were practically glued together, lips locked, Willows hands tangled in his dark hair, and Alonzo's hands almost massaging her body. I coughed and they turned to me, breaking apart. Willow's face blushed a deep red as I let them in. They sat down on the floor next to each other and we explained what we were doing. "Oh, okay, I have one," Alonzo said as soon as we had finished. "I dare everyone here to at least sleep in the same room as you're date. I'm not making you do anything but you've got plenty of opportunity, right?" Most of us nodded or said okay.

After a while group truths and dares got boring so we switched back to a more normal game- truth, dare, kiss, or strip. We told Alonzo how it worked and started. I asked first, "Willow, truth or dare?"

"I'll go with truth."

"What were you and Alonzo doing earlier?" I questioned.

"Oh...." Her face turned red again.

"We drove around for a little while. And did.... Other stuff...." Alonzo tried to answer for her.

"What kinda other stuff?" Xavier asked.

"Kissing kinda other stuff" Alonzo said. When we looked at him, unsatisfied, he sighed. "Third," he told us, sounding slightly disappointed.

The game went on for a while longer, the dares getting worse and worse, more and more clothes coming off. The majority of us had kissed almost everyone of the other gender and at some point both Blake and Alonzo were in nothing but their underwear and had ended up kissing. Merrick and Xavier had also butterfly and Eskimo kissed, but not on the list. By one AM, a good number of people had decided they were tired, or in Willow and Alonzo's case, wanted some alone time, and went to bed, leaving me with Adrian, Aria, and Xavier.

"Well I'm not tired," Xavier announced.

"Same. And I don't wanna go to bed yet," Aria added.

Adrian agreed, "I'm not feeling it either."

I thought for a moment before an idea popped into my head, sparked by the early events of the evening. I leaned over and whispered into Xavier's ear. He smirked, "Are you sure?" he asked and I nodded. "It's probably freezing..."

"Do you want to have some fun or not?" I responded. Aria and Adrian were completely lost. "Follow me," I told them with a smile and made my way towards the back door.

We were down by the creek and I grinned, remembering all of the memories Xavier and I had made here. The tire swing was still hanging on the side of the big tree farthest away from the stream and the long rope on the other side. It was weird because even though I knew what Xavier had kind of planned, I realized how weird this was. I mean obviously I had seen Xavier naked and Aria had taken baths and showers together as kids plus the occasional run in since then so neither of those were weird but then there was Adrian. I had seen him shirtless but that was kinda it.

I saw Aria and Adrian's eyes widen as Xavier started to strip down. I knew the boys had probably seen each other naked in the locker room too but Aria had never gone farther than second with both of them. Xavier waded into the water as he finished removing his clothes, throwing his boxers behind him. Aria raised an eyebrow at me as I pulled my pants off and my shirt over my head and started to follow Xaivier.

It took a minute for the other two to completely register what was going on before they stripped down and followed us.

That was one of the craziest, most fun nights I've ever had. It felt like a dream it was just so unreal I had to convince myself it was actually happening. When we got back to the house it was pretty quiet except for something coming from the basement living room which was probably Willow and Alonzo so we decided not to go down there. Merrick and Vivian were in the kids guest room, mostly because they were some of the least likely ones to do.... stuff. Aurora and Blake were downstairs in that guest room, so Xavier and Aria slipped into the main floor guest room while Adrian and I headed for my room upstairs.

I felt my heart start to beat faster as I closer my bedroom door behind the two of us.
