Square one

BORED Games part 2

Hope's POV:

"Truth or dare?" "Fair." I nod, giving her a knowing look of what possible things may be brought up. There's a knock at the door, Alaric walking in and greeting us both. "Girls," he says curtly, "I am off on a date. No I am not talking about it, so please don't ask. Don't go crazy, and be safe. See you later." He then walks off, and as the door closes I burst out laughing. Josie looks at me incredulously, "He really thinks we're going to have sex doesn't he?" She groans, pushing me a bit. "We should probably get something to eat... even if it is- 2:43?! Jesus we slept in. That's probably what brought your dad in the room in the first place." Josie just glared at me. She brought me downstairs and we had a small lunch, consisting of some Croque Monsieurs that she made, and I dug around finding Alaric's jumbo pack of sour gummy worms, marked ALARIC. We sat and ate in silence, for the most part, trying some small talk. "Does your dad have bourbon?" I ask, curious. "Yeah I reckon so... why?" "Because my family and I love bourbon." "IT'S NOT EVEN 4 o'clock yet!" "I was just asking." Once I had finished my meal, I put our plates away. She takes my hand, "Want to play truth or dare now? To get to know each other?" I shrug. "Yeah, why the hell not." 

We head upstairs, back to the room and I sit down on Jo's bed. "Shoot Jojo." "Hm? oh... right. Truth or Dare, milkshake girl." "Truth pouty bitch." I shoot back, blowing her a kiss when she scowls. "What's your name?" "Really? Ha, easy. Hope. Hope Marshall. Would you like my birthday too? Maybe where I was born?" I throw her a grin, mocking her a bit. "Truth or dare Josie?" I watch her hesitate. I'll go easy on her, as I know she'll pick truth. "Truth." "Have you had sex?" "Wow Hope, way to go in for the kill. Yes, I have in fact had sex with someone. Surprised?" "Nah. I already knew that, I was going easy on you." "Hmph. Truth or dare?" "Dare." "I dare you to call Lizzie, prank call, and confess to her your deepest affection for her. Make it believable." "Fine." Without hesitation, I take Josie's ipod and type in Lizzie's number with antoher, which masked Josie's ipod details from Lizzie. "This is the one and only Lizzie Saltzman, who gave you my number?" "Oh Lizzie! I have finally reached you! Listen, I need to tell you something. A confession, if you will. Lizzie Jenna Saltzman, I love you so much. Oh, how my heart yearns for you, how my loins quake. Breath has escaped me, hearing your voice. Lizzie you are the most wonderfully beautiful, kind, hot human being in the world." "Who is this?" "-" She ends the call. "Satisfied Josie?" "Your loins quake? Damn you went for it." "Of course I do Jos. I go for it, and I go all the way." She visibly gulps, and I grin. "Truth or dare?" "Truth.... just to be safe." I muster up all of my energy to stay as serious as possible, looking her dead in the eye, my gaze unmoving, "Josette Saltzman, do you get turned on when you siphon people." She gets so red in the face. "I- I- Only w-with certain people," she admits, bowing her head in shame. "Did I turn you on last night? I mean, you sure did siphon me quite a bit. I don't even think you realized it... maybe that's why you had the sex dream of me." "I DID NOT HAVE A SEX DREAM!" "Liar." She pouts, scoffing, "Truth or Dare bitch." "Truth." "Are you the person who wrote in my journal? Are you the Hope who said loved me, but then crossed it out? Are you her? WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER YOU?! I SHOULD REMEMBER YOU. I feel confused and wrong and it isn't fair." "I can only answer one, so I'll answer the first one. Yes. I did write that." She looks at me a brief moment, as if she remembers, but the glow disappears as soon as it had come. "Truth." She says. "Okay. Um. What were you dreaming about last night?" "School. Just school stuff." "You're not being honest." "Fine. Dare!" "Tsk tsk. I dare you to go into vivid detail about the sex dream you had last night about me."
