[5: the proposal]

„ok, i'll go first", jaden cheered and with that the game had started. some tea was spilled, body counts were revealed and some people kissed each other either on the lips or on the cheek, but pj remained quiet for nobody had picked her just yet. „okay okay, how about our newbie", nessa implied, clearly talking about pj, „truth or dare, miss pj?" „uhm", the blonde stammered, too scared to answer the question. she didn't want to pick dare, because she absolutely did not want to do anything mildly sexual, but also truth didn't really seem like an option to her; she really enjoyed these peoples company and didn't want for them to think anything bad about her, for example that she was a pussy. so with the smallest amount of poorly faked confidence in her voice she spoke up: „dare." „damn pj", her best friend hollered, „you're getting frisky over here. sure you didn't drink anything?" to that the blonde just shook her head and sent dixie a heartwarming smile which the brunette gladly returned before snuggling closer to her boyfriends chest. „okay, so", nessa said, „how about you sit down in the lap of the person you find the most attractive out of everybody for like the next ten minutes, facing them of course. it isn't really that bad but i'm gonna go easy on you because you're new and i like you." pj lost all the color to her face as she looked around in terror. she would have to choose the person herself? not only did that mean that she had to expose herself on her first day, it also meant that the person would find out, and she didn't want that to happen ever, since she would be working with the guys in the future. „just do it whenever you're ready, p", avani encouraged her while jaden leaned back and tapped his lap: „or you could just come and take a seat right now." mads just slapped his chest slightly before giggling, jaden pulling her close to his side.
secretly, pj had known her answer from the start but only felt comfortable enough to get up after a solid five minutes of pretending to think. in fact she wasn't thinking about her choice, she was thinking about the fact she had to expose herself in this very second. hesitatingly she started wandering around the group, everybody wondering who it was going to be. her feet dragged her along the grass until she came to a stop, and as her grey orbs met his brown ones, she knew she was absolutely correct with her decision, for he had a pair of the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, even if they were barely noticeable in this very moment. „can i?", she shyly asked him and chewed on her bottom lip as he leaned back just a little bit and looked between the girl and his lap, signaling for her to sit down without a word. she didn't hesitate, because the situation had already been awkward enough for her. whistles and hollers were heard when she finally seated herself in bryces lap, one of his big hands wandering to her waist instantly. „dixie", pj spoke, not being able to unlock her gaze from bryces, „truth or dare?"
while dixie told everybody the story of hers and noahs first kiss, pj and bryce didn't break their eye contact for a single second, and while this was probably familiar to him it was all new to her; she had never taken a seat in a guys' lap before. „you're beautiful, you know?", the boy said lowly, and eventhough the music blasted through the night pj could hear his words clearly. she shifted around slightly, because he gave her chills with the power of his low voice, and his grip on her hip tightened just a little bit as pj felt something poke up from underneath her. „hold still or we are going to have a problem." bryces words caused in her widening her eyes in realization and blushing profusely: she wasn't giving him a boner, or was she? just as she was thinking about the situation she was able to feel him pressing up against her, the both of them only seperated by their clothing. question answered. bryce noticed pj's red cheeks and licked his lips before muttering a low „sorry" in her direction. „i just can't help myself", he added onto that, whispering in her ear teasingly. he was aware of the fact that nobody payed attention to them right this second while she already forgot that they weren't alone: all of what she was feeling was new. her increased heart rate, her breath that had quickened ever so slightly and the burn in between her thighs that felt so bad but so good; for the first time in her life pj was craving somebody, but she knew it wouldn't be the greatest idea.
the ten minutes had passed by a long time, yet neither one of the pair thought about breaking the contact until an idea rushed through the boy's mind. „can i talk to you for a second? maybe somewhere a bit more private", he asked and all she could do was nod before getting up and following his lead, but not without seeing him fixing his crotch area quickly after standing up.
moments later the blonde found herself sitting on bryces bed while he sat down in his office chair across from her. the dim light did him just right, and pj felt herself growing flustered again. „i have a proposal for you", he broke the silence after a few minutes of not talking to each other. she peaked her head up and looked at him interested causing him to lick his lips again and play with the ring rested on his right middle finger; pj never wished to be jewelery before, yet here she was. „what would that be?" her voice was hoarse, barely audible as a chuckle left his mouth. „ok, let's cut this short", bryce said as he got up and sat down beside her, which caused her to turn her body towards him so they were looking at each other, „i think you're hot, and you're obviously thinking the same about me. and i also know that you've never done shit with another guy, which is why i'm not just trying to fuck you." she swallowed the big lump that appeared in her throat and just nodded, giving him permission to continue silently. „listen, i know we haven't known each other for long, which is why i can't just ask you to trust me, but i'm here to offer my help, because i'm sure that there has to be a guy out there you're interested in, right?" again, she nodded her head, now letting her thoughts go back to the guy she left at home. but david had never made her feel that way. „i could teach you all that you need to know in order to have the best experience ever with him." „what are you, an expert?", she asked as he laughed a little. „you could say that", was all that he answered before going back to his dominant kind of behavior. „and what do you want from me in order for your help?" „nothing, it's about the pleasure for me, because it sure as fuck will be interesting considering the fact you are so incredibly innocent", bryce answered, his brown eyes laced with lust as he looked her up and down. „you don't have to answer right away, just think about it and let me know." and with that, the black haired boy took one last look at the beauty in front of him before getting up and closing the door behind him.
