I wobbled down the stairs trying not to trip on anything but me being me l had to. The next thing l know l am in Fitz's arms staring into his impossibly teal eyes and soon enough the traitorous heart of mine starts fluttering like a butterfly.
Seriously Sophie get a hold of yourself it's not like he will ever like you back. I mean he's the Fitz Vacker and I'm just regular old me . What would he want with you?
Suddenly l heard a voice in my head that snaps me back to reality.
Italics is Sophie and Bold italics is Fitz.
Hey ,Sophie .You look amazing.
Thanks.
" Hey If you guys are done flirting then can we play a game?" Asked Keefe.
I pulled away from Fitz and l was pretty sure my head was as red as a tomato. I looked at the other boys to see them all staring at me and it was getting really uncomfortable . I hate being the centre of attention.
"Kids dinner is ready" called Della with her musical voice.
We all went rushing into the dinning room smelling the mallowmelt from all the way in the living room. We all took our seats and gobbled down all of it not even leaving a crumb on our plates.
" So. What should we do " asked Dex .
" good question. Got any ideas Foster ?" Said Keefe.
"Maybe . We could play Truth or Dare ," as soon as l said that l wish l could suck back all the words l just said.l don't want anyone finding out any of my secrets or do anything embarrassing.
"What is that ? " Asked Dex.
I quickly explained all the rules to them knowing l can't get out of this. Once l finished explained everything we were all sitting in a circle on the soft carpet .
" I'm going first. Ok let's see who should l pick ?" He asked with a mischievous smile on his face. " oh. I know . I pick...Biana. Truth or Dare."
"O...Ok. l pick truth" she replied.l felt really bad for her who knows what Keefe could come up with.
"Ok . Who do you have a crush on and remember you have to answer truthfully," said Keefe.
"do l have to answer that " asked Biana.
" yes and now you definitely have to if you don't want to share it." Replied Keefe. I really really felt bad for her. I know she likes Keefe . This will be so embarrassing especially if Keefe doesn't like her back.
" Ok fine. I...I...I like... Keefe" she said the last part so quietly you could barely even hear her. I looked at Keefe to see his reaction. At first he was shocked but then relief spread across his face.
" B...Biana. Did you just say you liked me?" Keefe asked. Once he saw her nod he said : " Wow. I wasn't expecting that. I guess l should tell you now. Um... I like you too."
At this Biana' s head snapped up. Her face was as red as a fire engine. Keefe leaned in and crashed his lips to hers. Biana wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Eeep!! I am so happy for her l know that she has had a crush on Keefe forever.
When they finally pulled apart their faces were both bright red. Everyone just sat there and stared at them in silence , then suddenly erupted into cheers. This made Keefe and Biana blush even more.
"Keefiana has finally happened" announced Dex.
We continued the game and luckily l haven't been chosen yet and hopefully it stays that way. However l never would have expected what happened next.
It was Tam's turn now.
"Fitz...Truth or Dare" asked Tam.
"Dare" he replied.
" Ok...let me think of one... Oh l know. I dare you kiss your crush on the lips and if she isn't here then you have to hail her and tell her that." Said Tam. 'This is it' l thought. This is when l will finally find out wether he likes me or not.
Fitz gulped and stared walking towards the hallway probably to get his imparter. I don't know why l thought he would ever like me back. But then he stopped in front of me, crouched down and connected his lips to mine. For a few seconds l didn't do anything then l kissed him back. He slid his hands around my waist as l snaked my hands around his neck. We stayed like that for a few minutes and when we broke apart for air l went over what just happened and a wave of realisation washed over me.
Fitz Vacker... THE Fitz Vacker actually LIKES me. Who would have thought.
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Biana and Linh's squeal. I could feel my cheeks heating up like they were on fire. I quickly glanced at Fitz to see that he was the same as me.
Della entered the room and l could tell that she knew something happened but luckily she didn't ask us anything."Alright kids it's getting late why don't you head off to bed " She said. We all obeyed and the boys went to Fitz's room and us girls headed off to Biana's room.
