That Guy Next Door

Truth or Dare

"Ok I dare you to Paint your nails pink!" I said, proud of my great idea. "Are you serious? Well... I'll do it by tonight, as long as you help me" he smiled, with a wink. "Ok, sure only for a friend." I said, emphasing the last word.

"Yea, uh right. My turn! Truth, or Dare?"

"Truth"

"Ugh, you're so boring, why does everyone pick truth?" He asked, sounding annoyed.

"I don't know why does everyone pick dare?"

"Well played. Ok, so what is your worst fear?

"Honestly?" I Asked, and he nodded " Ok, I know iit's really stupid but I'm super afraid of hamsters...". I swear, he couldn't stop laughing. I hit his arm , and he slowly stopped. "Ow, you hit me!" he said defensively, with his pouty face. "Well, don't make fun of me! When i was a little girl, my aunt had a hamster... It would chase me around the house and bite my ankles.."

" Wow, i'm sorry" he said still laughing quietly " that must have been really tough, Don't worry i'll protect you from Rufus" putting his arm around me.

" Oh, shut up." I said, trying to hide my blush "Ok, Truth or Dare?"

"Well, since you inspired me so much, I'll choose Truth".

" Ok, what is the weirdest dream you have ever had?"

"Haha, well this one where me and y-" He paused, looking away " Never mind, um probably the one where I rode this super cool roller coaster I made, but then it crashed in a pond, and for some reason there was alligators.."

"Wait, what about that first one?" I asked

"Oh, well I thought it wasn't really weird so.. I actually reallly liked that dream.." Was he.. Blushing?

" Ok, well I dare you to tell me about it" I said curiously.

" Hey, no cheats it's my turn. Truth or Dare?"

"Fine, Dare"

"Ok.. uh I dare you to go to the pet store tomorrow with me, and I'll buy you a hamster."

"NO! I will not even look at a hamster ever again".

"Come on! It's a dare so you have to at least come with me."

"Fine...I'm going to get the nail polish now" I said walking towards the bathroom, feeling scared out of my mind. "hmm, aha hot pink there it is!"

" I guess i could use a good polish" Jason said as i walked back into the room. " Ok, we will have to move to the kitchen table, because i am not getting nail polish on my sheets'.

I got out a towel and we sat across from each other. " Ok truth, or Dare"

" Dare, I Guess'

" Ok, tell me what that dream was about" I smiled a little as I opened the lid to the nail polish.

"Ok, fine I choose truth" he said.

" No Switching! And give me your hand"

"Ugh, Fine" he said putting his hand up to mine." I dreamed about me and you..."

"I'm listening" I replied applying the pink glitter to his thumb.

" It was about me and you getting married.." my hand slipped as I heard the words come out of his mouth and got nail polish all over his fingers.

"Oh Gosh, Im so sorry" I blurted out wiping off his and quickly.

" Hey, it's fine" He put is other hand on mine steadying it, causing me to look up at him. "So, uh, you liked this dream?" I asked awkwardly, painting his next fingernail.

"Well, yea... I mean I love you Jesse" he said looking in my eyes, and I could tell he wasn't lying.

"Um, ok so it looks like I'm all finished here. See you tomorrow at the pet store?"

"So you aren't going to acknowledge it?"

" What do you want me to say Jason?"

"Uh, nothing. I guess i'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Yea, sure" I answered quietly as he walked out the door.

"Jason, Wait" I ran down the hallway after him, as walked out the front door to his car.
