How could we say Goodbye?

Chapter 17

Sophie and Matt had come over, you were all huddled outside by the fire you had lit in the chiminea, and wrapped up in multiple blankets.

“I have a proposition!” Sophie announced and smirked as you all raised an eyebrow at her. “Truth or Dare. Whoever loses has to wash up dinner!” You laughed and looked into the kitchen at the mound of washing up by the sink.

“Oh god…!” You exclaimed and laughed at the proud smirk on Sophie’s face. “Deal” you said as the boys nodded their heads.

“Seeing as I came up with the idea… I am going to dare YOU first!” She pointed at you as though accusing you of something and you gasped mellow-dramatically  before groaning and making a ‘really?!’ face. “I dare you…”

She hesitated and conferred with Matt before a huge grin appeared on her face. “To kiss Grant… for two whole minutes…”

“Do you want me to suffocate?! Plus Soph, I'm ill – I'm not kissing Grant for that long!” You ask as your eyes widen and Grant buts in,

“Babe, how many times? I don’t care!! I love you okay? That’s what matters! But… Soph… hate to break it to you… it’s not much of a dare…”

“BUT” Sophie added and you both groaned dreading what was to come “You can’t start actually making out… and you're not allowed to touch anywhere other than each other’s arms!” You and Grant exchange looks before you protest,

“No no no… there’s daring… and then there is what’s actually possible. That is literally impossible…”

“I can increase the time” Sophie teases you shutting you up and you turn to Grant…

“Here goes nothing…” You say to Grant as you both stand up and face each other. “If I pass out… you are responsible Soph!” She laughed playfully and Grant smirked, amusement in his eyes.

“Plus…” Matt added “Lets be honest… you were eye fucking her already man!!” he raised his eyebrows at Grant and laughed as you also looked at him to see his reaction. He blushed massively and you burst out laughing.

“Get on with it guys I don’t have all year!” Sophie said exasperatedly between giggles.

He moved closer to you, looming over you as his hand lifted your chin, lifting your head to look directly into his eyes.

“OI NO TOUCHING!” Sophie shouted as his hand fell onto your chin

“We haven’t started kissing yet!” Grant protested and you sigh

“Graaant seriously we have to get three fucking minutes over and done with!”

“Sorry!” He muttered, turning back to you and returning to the same position. His gorgeous eyes stared intensely into your own as he took a deep breath; the purity you could see in them was incredible, at peace with the world and genuinely happy to be stood there with you.

When he knew you wouldn’t look away, he moved slowly closer to you and placed a hand on his cheek, you let the electricity run through your veins and shiver as he inches closer to you yet again.

His eyes stole a glance at your lips before returning to your eyes and you he smirked as he teased you; you inhaled his breath and tried to steady your own as you exhaled. You did the same, looking at his luscious lips and biting your own before looking back.

“Timer is set! 3, 2, 1, go!” Sophie confirmed and you immediately kiss Grants soft lips, moving your hands reluctantly to his, intertwining your fingers.

You didn’t know if Sophie or Matt were saying anything, you let his lips drug you into a different portal. The kiss deepened and you smirked into it, amused that he was the first to do so, and you returned the favour. He moaned into the kiss almost like a small whimper, it was so quiet that only you could hear it.
