It's Complicated 8

I put my head in my hands as a blush comes to my face. I sit down on the mattress below me and peek up at Kaitie through my hands. "I can't believe you saw that."

We'd come back up to the tents and all sat around the campfire, roasting marshmallows, when Kaitie had dragged me into her tent. Apparently, she had seen what happened down at the beach.

"How are you embarrassed?" She asks me as she too sits down. "That's such a good thing! A good sign! Obviously he would have jumped away if he was disgusted." She assures.

In a way, she is right. Why didn't he jump away earlier? Why did he wait until people were approaching us? I smack myself in the head. This is all just so confusing!

"Did the others see? The two girls and the boys?" I frown. Surely if she saw, they did too?

"Nope!" She tells me. "They weren't spying on you, I was. I'm ninety nine percent sure it's just me who saw."

At that I feel reassured. If someone else had seen, it could have ended really badly. What would they have thought about Daniel and me sharing something similar to a whisper kiss?

"Girls!" Both Kaitie's and my attention turns to Amber, who's suddenly leaning into the tent. She tosses us both a straight vodka, my third one tonight. I have to take it easy, I remember.

"We're all going to play truth or dare. Are you both in?"

I internally sigh. The most common party game alongside shots. I wouldn't usually mind this game, but with Danny playing, it's different.

"Sure." Kaitie agrees. "How about you, Anna?"

What's the point in sitting out and being bored? I may as well just join in and try to have fun. And so taking a big gulp of vodka, I nod my head.

I laugh along with the others but stop immediately when I feel a sharp pain come to my stomach. I groan as I throw away the fourth empty vodka bottle.

Daniel from beside me nudges my right shoulder and I turn to look at him curiously. He looks a little angry, but more amused.

"'I won't get drunk.' My ass." I remember hearing those words somewhere... Oh!

I blush as I look away. "I'm not drank." I tell him stubbornly, but he only laughs loudly.

"You're not drank?" He raises his left eyebrow and I furrow my own. "You mean that you're not drunk?" He corrects.

I shrug my shoulders and tell him, "Same difference."

Then I hear my name being called. I look away from Daniel regretfully and to the brunette, who I think is named Larissa. She's grinning at me.

"Huh?" I ask her and everyone laughs. I frown as I look at Kaitie, who is also laughing. "You're drunk!" She lips and my frown becomes bigger. Lies, such lies!

"Truth or dare?" Larissa asks and I start laughing hysterically. She's so funny!

"You!" I blurt out and I notice everyone staring at me with amusement. "You're so... So funny!" I tell her and she too laughs. "You're just... Hysterical! I can't... Stop laughin-" I cut myself off. "Dare." I tell her simply, forgetting why I was even laughing. Everyone bursts out in laughter.

"Okay then," She's still chuckling. "I dare you to... Hmm." She takes her time thinking and so I entertain  

myself with one of the empty vodka bottles in front of me, poking my finger through the hole and back out.

"Oh I have it!" I look back up, startled. "I dare you to go skinny dipping with Nathan!" I gasp and look down at myself, frowning.

I feel Danny stiffen beside me and I lean away from his embrace so I can look at him. It's obvious that he's beyond angry. I reach out subconsciously and touch his features.

"Why so serious?" I ask and he cracks a big smile. But that's suddenly gone and when I look up, following his gaze, I see Nathan standing in front of me with a big grin on his face.

"No!" Danny tells Larissa and she rolls her eyes. "I'm not letting my sister go skinny dipping with some guy she doesn't even know!" He throws his hands up, obviously pissed.

"I don't want to be naked with that giraffe!" I exclaim and Kaitie laughs.

"Fine," I look back over to Larissa to see her smirking. "It's either skinny dipping with Nathan, or pashing your brother."

I feel myself become instantly happier as Daniel freezes yet again. Ignoring his shot down, I shrug at Larissa and turn to my right to see him looking at me with his beautiful green eyes wide.

I bring both my hands to each side of his head. I look into his eyes as he stares right back into mine. My left hand goes to his soft black hair as I inch closer to him.

I hear a few gasps but mostly cheering. Kaitie screams out something along the lines of, "Get it on! SEXY!" and I can't help but laugh a little.

Daniel's P.O.V

Her breath caresses my lips as she lets out a small laugh. She smells nice, despite the alcohol.

I can't help my eyes widening. What's she doing?

She moves in closer to me and I don't move away. She eyes my lips for a second before looking back up at me.

I can't think into this, I realize, as I remember she's drunk. She probably has no idea what she's doing and I very much doubt she'd kiss me if she was sober.

I close my eyes as I feel her inching closer to me. Suddenly her lips are tackling mine and I let out a groan as my lips move in sync with hers.

Anameika's P.O.V

I'm shocked to feel him kissing me back. Of course, either I'm that drank that I'm imagining it, or he's too drank to think straight. I mean, drunk. Either way, even in my apparent drunk state, I know this doesn't count for anything.

It's a simple kiss, until everyone starts chanting, "Pash, pash, pash!" And Daniel hesitantly bites down on my bottom lip. I let out a moan as I open my mouth for him. His tongue meets mine and the shocks running all throughout me intensify.

Suddenly my stomach is squirming and I break the kiss as I feel something coming up. I turn my head away from Daniel and throw up violently.
