Cherry

Chapter 15: The end

"Okay, I'm first. Truth or dare?" I ask him looking him dead in the eye.

He puts his hand on his chin, pondering"Hmm.... Dare" he finally says.

"I dare you to..." I start looking around the room to find something " ...lick that bar of soap over there" I say, pointing to the bathroom.

"Okay. Easy enough" he says getting up and going to the bathroom.

He starts licking the bar of soap seductively, making a disgust face after the chemicals hit his taste buds and I start laughing like a crazy person. After his 'make out' session he comes back and sits next to me.

"Your turn. Truth or dare?" he says, sitting cross legged.

"Truth." I answer, turning to him and sitting cross legged too.

 "Would you rather experience the beginning of planet Earth or the end of planet Earth?" he asks.

"Well that's a tough question." I chuckle.

"Answer it truthfully" 

"If I was experiencing the beginning of planet Earth, I would probably not survive for long but if I experience the end of planet Earth, which would probably be when the sun becomes a giant, I would burn alive. Conclusion from all of this is probably beginning because it would be less painful. I hate dying by being burned alive" I explained.

"Good to know" Lion says jokingly.

"What? What are you planing to do to me Lion?" I joke.

"You never know" he winks.

I laugh. "Okay, your turn. Truth or dare?" I ask.

"I'll pick truth this time" he says.

I have a lot of questions to ask him. I'm just not sure if I should be straightforward. Fuck it. I'm going to ask him what I want. I don't care what he'll answer. I just need to know.

"I'm curious." I say and start hesitating. 

'What good will it do to me?' I think.

Whatever, I don't care.

"Do you have a person that you ... like?" I shoot, hoping to get a good answer.

At my question Lion's eyes dart up looking at me intensely. Tension fills the room by his action.

'I shouldn't have asked him this question' I start regretting my decision.

"Yes I... do" he says.

"Oh... Okay. Good to know" I say as I start fiddling with my hands in my lap.

"My turn. Truth or dare?" he asks, breaking the silence.

"Truth." I choose.

"Do you want to kiss me?" he asks, getting closer to me.

 My heart starts beating fast inside my chest, faster that the speed of light. "What?" I ask in disbelief of what I'm hearing. 

"I know you like me too. It says it all on your face and the way you act" he smirks, getting closer making our lips inches apart.

"I-I-..." The tension in the room is interrupted by a knock on the door as we both abruptly turn our heads towards the door.

"Lion! Cherry! Miss Miller says that we're going to go to an amusement park." Mel shouts from outside, continuing to bang on the door.

"Yeah! Come on, stop making out and come out" Mason jokes.

We hear a smack followed by an 'AUCH! What was that for??' from the other side of the door and we laugh.

"We're coming!" I shout as I get up and put on my jacket, ignoring what just happened between us. Lion does the same.
