Ava's Fantasy

Truth or Dare

I couldn't decide when the game of truth or dare had become so iniquitous. It had started out innocently enough. Lick the toilet seat, who's the celeb you would do? That kind of thing.

Maybe it was the fact that Jas' mom had left us unattended for the evening to go line dancing at the hall; we were technically adults after all, we could be entrusted with some responsibility. But I suspected it was when Jas' older brother, who was home from college decided to crash the room and insisted on playing. His dares had been along lines far less innocent, like drinking shots or removing articles of clothing.

Jas was—not so subtly—trying to get him to leave, but the other two girls were falling all over him and acting like...well they didn't normally act like that or they wouldn't have been friends of mine.

The truth was, I couldn't really blame them. I had had a secret crush on Kane since the second year of high school, I met him the first time I stayed over with Jas and he was home for the weekend.

The guy was seriously hot, and funny as hell. I tried not to let my blush show as my mind pulled up the memory of that first meal together when he had made me snort milk out my nose, and embarrassingly all over my plate of food at the family table.

I sighed to my self, I don't even know why I came back after that, I would never live it down.

“Hello?” Kathrine's voice broke into my mind and I think I blinked stupidly. Kane was watching me, a knowing look in his eyes. He fingered the tip of his nose as though he had read my mind and knew what I had been thinking. I couldn't stop my cheeks from reddening furiously. Damn him.

“What?” I replied.

“Your turn space head. Truth or dare?”

“Er...” better play it on the safe side, I really didn't need more embarrassment. “Truth.”

The other girls in the room groaned in disappointment, someone called me a chicken. I shrugged. That I could live with. Another milk incident I could not.

“What is your biggest turn on in a man?”

Oh boy, I should have picked dare. I struggled to keep my eyes from Kane, but I could feel him staring at me, his gaze boring holes through my skin. Heat flushed to my cheeks again.

“Uh...dark hair?”

“Not good enough. You pick truth you have to go details. Man up girl,” Jas stabbed. Just because she was mad at her brother didn't mean she had to take it out on me.

“Blue eyes....and a good smile?”

Even Carry rolled her eyes.

“That could be half the guys at Farthworth college,” Kane snorted. “Your truth needs to be specific, if it's your biggest turn on only one guy should fit the bill.”
