The bottle landed on Noah.
“Truth or dare,” Sophie asked.
He pushed his shaggy hair off his forehead. “Dare.”
Sophie waggled her eyebrows at me and then turned back to him.
Soph, please, no.
“I dare you to kiss Scarlett and cop a feel.”
WHAT?!That last part didn’t need to be part of the dare. At all.
Noah set his cup down and stood up.
Jacob sighed next to me.
Seriously...why, Soph? Why cop a feel too?That was entirely unnecessary! I’d be able to tell from just the kiss!
I barely even had time to react.
Noah leaned down to kiss me.
But I was so very aware of Jacob and Axel staring from either side of me.
Noah’s lips pressed against mine.
And I knew right away that it was wrong. It probably felt wrong partially because of the guys next to me. But either way, I knew for sure that Noah wasn’t my kiss thief. There was zero passion.
But I just sat there awkwardly with his lips on mine as he put his hand on my left boob.
“Dude, seriously?” Jacob said. “She’s wearing my jacket, man. You know what that means.”
I kind of wanted to know exactly what it meant...
Noah chuckled against my lips. “It was part of the dare,” he said as he pulled back. But his hand was still on my breast.
“You have one second to remove your hand before I shove it up your ass,” Axel said.
Noah laughed as his hand fell. “Chill, captain. It was just a dare. I know she’s off-limits.”
I knew my face was bright red. Not just because of the stupid kiss. But because of Noah’s words.Off-limits.It was proof that what Jacob had told me was true. That Axel had threatened the whole locker room. “Sorry,” I muttered under my breath. But I wasn’t even sure what I was apologizing for. It seemed like everyone around me was annoyed though. And I wished I could just melt into the leaves on the ground.
Jacob put his arm around my shoulders as Noah walked away. “Seriously, what has gotten into Sophie tonight?”
“I have no idea,” I lied. My list was down to seven. But I really preferred the truth portion of the evening more than the dare. Sophie wouldn’t ask someone else to kiss me...right? Because that would come off so desperate. And I really wasn’t desperate to make out with anyone else tonight. Unless it was Jacob. I scooted a little closer to him on the log.
“Okay, let’s see who’s next,” Sophie said.
“Sophie, isn’t it someone else’s turn?” Jacob asked.
She turned around to look at us.
I hoped she could read my face.No more kissing dares, Sophie! Please!
I wasn’t sure she understood. Because she just shrugged. “I don’t think that’s how it works, Jacob.” She spun the bottle again.
This time the bottle landed on Sean.
