You and me

Part 8🦋

Lake POV
Me and Rachelle walked into Kalens bedroom. Beatrice was at the coffee table setting out the drinks for the dares. While Amber and Toby were sat on the floor ready for the games to begin. Rachelle hopped over to Kae to help him connect the speaker. I didn't really feel like doing anything so I went and took a seat by Toby.
"I see u and Rachelle" I looked at him slightly embarrassed as if I've been caught.
I just laughed it off as if it was some joke knowing full well of my true emotions.
A short while after we were joined by the rest of the group and the music was already playing in the background.
I'm not going to lie to you there was a feeling  about the game we was going to partake in...
A feeling that this was gonna be an interesting night.
Rachelles POV
"So guys imma spin the bottle just so we can pick who's going first  then we'll go from from there" Kae said excitedly
"Wait I thought we were playing truth or dare" said amber confused
"Ahhh same thing imma mix it up" Kalen said hurrying on the game
He spun the bottle swiftly and it stopped at Beatrice.
" Ok Bee truth or dare"
"Urm truth" she said smirking towards Kae
"Okok describe your ideal type"
"Big dark brown eyes tall darrrrrrk brown shaggy hair"
"Hmm he sounds familiar" Kae said cheekily
"Ok my turn to pick" Beatrice said giddily
"Amber truth or dare"
" Cause u did a truth I'll do a dare"
"Ok take five shots of vodka over there"
Amber got up speedily and went over to the coffee table and stayed taking her shots.
Damn was she swallowing them things down ! Before I knew it her dare was over and she was wobbling back over to us falling in Toby's lap cutely.
We all started clapping and bursting out laughing.
"Okok Amber who do u pick" Kalen said still laughing
"I pick Toby truth or dare" She said looking up into his eyes hazily
"I pick dare" he said huskily
" I... dare...you...to...kiss me" Amber said seductively/ intoxicated
Toby wasn't wasting no time and quickly planted a messy kiss on her lips.
(Maybe it was the alcohol hitting him from earlier)
"Okok funs over,who's next ?Toby your turn to pick"
Toby slowly pulled himself away from Amber.
"Ok Rachelle truth or dare?"
I'm not gonna lie to ya I was feeling bold.
"Uno what I'm going for a dareeee" I shouted excitedly
" I dare u to take Lake in the hallway closet and do 7 minutes of heaven" Toby said eyeing Lake
" just cause we're in a closet for 7 minutes doesn't mean anything's gonna happen, but I rather do this dare then take ten shots of vodka! Cmon Lake" I said pulling him up to his and everyone else's surprise.
I knew how I felt about him I don't know if he did but I knew.
And 7 minutes just being in a confined space with him sounded about right to me.
Lake POV
And this is what I meant by an interesting night...
Although I didn't want to distance myself as much from her I didn't want to be this close either or else who knows how far we can go...maybe too far that I wouldn't be able to stop myself
"So I haven't been here before what closet is it"
I looked at her spacing out for a second looking for the said closet
"Oh oh Urm it's this one" I said opening the door.
I let her take a step in first and shut it. We just chilled in each others silence for the first two minutes before I decided to break it.
"I'm sorry about this Toby gets a bit carried away sometimes"
"There is nothing to be sorry about and anyway I wouldn't really wanna be here with anyone else-... I mean cause it would just be awkward if it was Kae or Toby uno no other reason..."
"Oh Yh totally..."
"But I did miss you though"
"Same I'm sorry for the way I faded out on you"
"Would you care to explain why or are we not that close yet"
"If I explain why I don't think I'd be ready to be that vulnerable in front of you"
She took a step forward only a small one but big enough to close the space between us.
"I don't know what it is about you but there's something" I knew exactly what she meant only because I felt the same way.
But there was no way I could tell her that.
Atleast not yet.
I looked down into her eyes slowly taking in their beauty.
It was like she was trying to tell me a message her mouth couldn't put into words.
Her mouth.
Her lips were looked soft and glossy with a slight strawberry fragrance bouncing off them. She licked them.
She must've known I was looking. I looked away from her slightly and licked my own lips. Only to have her delicate hands reach up to my face and turn my head back towards her.
After this there was know denying the attraction we had between us.
But with one thing leading to another I wouldn't be able to deal with another heartbreak.
But that was my head talking and my heart longed for something different.
Not only the lust bouncing between us but the sense of love and comfort that would surely grow if I gave me and her a chance.
Just one little chance that could end up  going good or bad. I reached my hand up to cover her hand as she stroked my cheek. What I was about to do next I was really going to regret but I couldn't control the urge...
Next thing I know my lips crashed against hers passionately.
And when I tell you they don't call it seven minutes of heaven for nothing.
Although the feeling of inexplicable passion was searing through me I knew I just knew I had to stop. I wasn't ready for what this might lead to.
But I already got started.
All I know was that this was gonna cause an argument. Reluctantly I pulled away she tilted her head and looked up at me, confused and out of breath.I looked at her then turned to leave as I was about to exit she grabbed my arm,but I quickly pulled it away then looked at her almost apologetically to say it's not you it's me.
Cause it damn well was me.
Me and my emotions me and my thoughts crowding my head. Me and my heartbreak that's left scars in my heart that never will heal. Maybe she's the one to help subside the pain.
But what if it doesn't work out then who will I have?
I walked down the stairs then out of the house I just had to get out of there... I just had to get some air.
I'm not a horrible person I do feel bad there's no denying what there is between us but that's just what I have to do I guess.
Yes it's selfish because it takes two to tango and while I'm preventing myself from heartbreak I might be hurting her too.
But does she even like me maybe the feelings from her I've been feeling we're just in my head.
It was only a kiss anyway a kiss that came from a dare she shouldn't even get mad.
Should she?
Rachelle POV
This little mysterious act he does.
It's not cute.
There must be something more to the way he's acting cause that day... that very first day deep down then I knew.
No one just looks at someone like that without there being something more something deeper.
I know it might sound silly but I felt it and I know for a fact he felt it too.
Why is he so afraid?
Oh lord look at me go I don't even know for sure if he likes me back. I have a feeling but sometimes feelings are misleading.
I didn't know how I was going to act towards Lake from now on.
My mind was telling me to ignore him from then on by my heart just can't resist. I left the room and went back into Kalens room. Everyone was just chillin and giving it was obvious that the game ended with me and Lake. I took a seat next to Beatrice and Kalen.
"Where's Lake ?" Kae asked inquisitively
"don't even ask me where he is he just left a short while ago and don't ask me why please" I said shaking my head and chuckling slightly. The confusion was overwhelming and If I didn't laugh I would probably cry.
It's got to that point.
Lake wasn't the type of guy that would play with girls emotions just for the fun of it.
I didn't know him that well but that was for sure.
Even though he was quite popular he is very quiet and reservedbut also very kind (not to me at least)
Not personality traits of a player.
But he did seem like the type to run away from his emotions if he couldn't handle them that was evident.
I wanted to find out why but from what's been happening I don't think it would've been my place to. At least I had Beatrice and Lake and Amber and Toby although they were basically all coupled up I know I could rely on them.
Lake POV
So I've done it again...
ARGH!
What the fuck is with me.
I can't just go back and be like I'm sorry. I've completely and utterly fucked up. I thought walking down to my car
I got in my car and hit my head against the steering wheel. There's no point me denying my feelings for her.
But I have to at least to myself.
I can't and I WONT let myself slip.
Me loving someone only causes pain.
A lot of it.
I turned on my car and let my playlist play as I drove.
Euphoria
Why was that song playing right now. It's not like I needed a sign or a message implying what my feelings were. But I guess the universe felt generous today.
Although things were probably going to be quite awkward with Rachelle from now on I did like the thought of her.
Her and her sweet smile,her and the comfort and safety embedded in her gaze. I turned up the volume. I smiled to myself. I know I really messed up back there and I still didn't know what to do but this song and the thought of her made me happy. And I was going to enjoy this happiness even if it was fleeting.
