Truth Or Dare

thirteen

Remember when I said I never wanted that moment to end? Well, it did.

All it took was a few more seconds and a lot of passion before our bodies were nearly clothing-free. Of course it didn't take long for some nearby lake house party goers to find us which resulted in our moment cutting short and we fled back up to the waterfall tunnels.

Cut to the present- I'm shivering next to the waterfall without clothes and Aspen is busy brushing his hand through his hair. Aspens not-so-little friend from below also decided to join us as well. He walked over and picked up his almost dry clothing from the ground that he left earlier and I blushed at the lack of clothes I was wearing and Aspen seemed to take notice.

The sweatpants I let him use hid nothing and I blushed even harder as he walked closer to me. His hand brushed through my hair and his thumb gently caressed my skin sending shivers throughout my spine.

"It's hard to believe someone is as beautiful as you. It's like I'm imagining you." He whispered to himself sending my heartbeat to alarming rates. His expression made him look mesmerized. Like he didn't believe I existed. It made me feel wanted.

Butterflies rapidly swarmed through my chest as I tried to fully comprehend his words. For once, my mind didn't stray off to believe that the words he was saying were lies. One look in his eyes and I knew he was telling the truth.

After he realized I wouldn't respond, he lifted the semi-soaked t-shirt over my head and covered my body from my shoulders to right above my knee. The ends of the shirt tickled my lower thigh.

The peaceful atmosphere changed into something of need that I had never gotten used to being between Aspen and I.

I struggled to grasp the thoughts running through my mind. It was the first time I felt like I really needed someone.

My arms wrapped around his hard torso and even though he didn't initiate it, I melted into his touch sighing dreamily.

Sounds of keys jingling echoed over the radio music as Aspen parked in his own driveway.

I sluggishly opened my door moving towards the darkness enveloping the car.

"Goodnight Aspen." I grinned, attempting to hide the thousands of developing emotions from escaping my eyes.

Before I could realize it was happening, Aspen grabbed me from behind and pulled me into a hug which rocked us from side to side. My smile widened.

"I judged you too soon." I muttered.

Surprise and confusion spread onto Aspens face at my revelation and he lifted an eyebrow as if telling me to elaborate.

"Well I-I didn't mean what I said earlier. It wasn't wasn't true and I'm sorry." I watched Aspen blink a few times and then a small smile spread on his face.

"Thank you."

With that, he walked into the shadows leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I feel like shit.

Actually, not only feel like it, I look like it too.

The sun decided to be its normal self and rise like always and shine into my windows waking me up at 12:37 exactly. How fun.

If waking up wasn't bad enough, I woke up on my couch and still in the wet clothing I wore last night. Gross.

After taking a long shower and thoroughly cleaning every tiny crevice in my body I did the only thing I could think of doing. Which is jumping into my messy bed and hiding under my covers.

My mind drifted off to Aspen. I wondered what conditioner he used to make his hair so irresistibly soft. My hands tingled at the reminder of the way his hair felt. I frowned, wishing I could get these stupid thoughts out of my head. Liking someone has been such a foreign thing to me after Jared. Being with Jared should have taught me better than to trust another guy with my feelings. I'm so stupid. I sighed and ran my hands over my face.

Before I could get any sleep whatsoever my phone rung causing me to groan in annoyance.

I rolled over, still wrapped up in layers if blankets to reveal that I was getting a call from Rena and swiped the accept call button.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Damn girl. Who pissed in your lucky charms?" She laughed on the other side of the call.

"Rena turn your voice down its too loud!" I groaned making her laugh again.

"No can do. Anyways, this hot guy that always comes in my apartment building just asked me about you and you gotta fill me in on details." Rena stated slyly.

"Long story. Too much work. Let me sleep."

"Why so tired?" Rena asked reminding me that I spent last night with Aspen.

"Aspen thats why." I grumbled.

She gasped."You got laid?" Rena shrieked causing me to wince at the sudden pain in my ear.

So much for sleeping.

"Rena you know I'm gonna die a virgin." I muttered and buried my face in a pillow.

"So your dead?"

"Yes."

"Lame. I'm gonna go watch people eat food so I can live my dreams through them." Rena said and before I could respond, she hung up.

My best friend is such a lovely human being, right?

After that thought sleep slowly consumed me.

"This is too soon." I heard someone speak and it was muffled through my door.

"What? Of course not babe. She will love you!" A woman's voice shrieked making me panic inside. Who was in my house?

My eyes opened and immediately came in contact with my alarm clock which flashed the numbers 3:04 AM on it in red letters.

"Shit." I scrambled out of bed and grabbed the pocket knife which sat under my nightstand.

"I'm not sure enough about us to-" The sound of the person speaking got distant so I couldn't hear the rest of their words.

My breathing came out shaky and I grasped the knife tighter in my hand and clutched onto the doorknob.

Without anymore hesitation I yanked my door open to reveal a couple in the darkness making out against the wall. I cringed in disgust and squinted to make out the shape of a woman with dark brown hair similar to my own. That's when it hit me.

"Mom?"
