A/N: Hey all! I will be without internet for a few days so I decided to go ahead and give you the next Chapter. Hope you like it!
I get a call from Marlene saying they are having a get together at Zeke's apartment. I agree to go and get ready. This time I wear black leggings and a large gray shirt that hangs off my shoulder. I tell myself that I'm not going to drink, that much.
I meet everyone there and it's looks like a couples palooza. Christina is snuggling with Will, Uriah is whispering in Marlene's ear, and Zeke is making out with Shauna. Lauren isn't here and I notice there is an empty spot between Robert and Four. Great. I sit closer to Robert, nudging him playfully. He gets up grunting and walks into the kitchen. I walk in after him to try and clear the air.
"Are you sure I said that? I was probably saying 'more' but I was so drunk it came out wrong." I plea
He takes my cheek in his hand, sighs, and nods. I don't think he's convinced, but at least he isn't avoiding me. We sit together on the couch each with a beer in our hand. Uriah mentions some drinking games, but Christina wants to play truth or dare. I've never actually played and I'm a little scared. I don't want to undress in front of all these people. I quickly down another beer before we start to play. There is no way I am going to be sober for this shit.
"Will, you first man." Uriah says.
"Dare."
"I dare you to shotgun three drinks."
Will laughs and walks into the kitchen, all of us following behind. He does the dare and lets out a loud burp. Men are pigs.
"Christina," he says giving a devilish smile.
"Truth,"
"How many guys have you slept with?"
Christina's face is priceless and she takes off her shirt and throws it at him. He catches it and gives her a light kiss on the nose. We are all back on the living room in a circle. I have Robert and Four on either side of me. It feels awkward since Robert is still mad about my outburst. I lean into him and rest my head on his shoulder, trying to show that I have no feelings whatsoever for Four.
"Tris."
I get nervous, I don't know what Christina will ask or dare me to do. I think about it before answering.
"Dare?" it comes out as a question more than an answer.
"I dare you to kiss Four."
I pop up off of Robert's arm and I can see the desperation in his eyes. I try to keep the shocked look off my face and ponder the consequences. If I kiss Four, Robert will hate me forever. If I don't, then I have to take my shirt off. Do I really want all these people seeing me in my bra? Before I can decide my answer, I see Four leaning in to me. His lips are so close to mine and I start to lean in too. Before our lips touch, he places both hands on my waist. My heart is beating rapidly and I am trying to control my breathing. I can feel his hands move to my shirt hemline.
He lifts my shirt off and holds it in front of my face. I am mortified. I take my shirt forcefully and try to drown out all the "oooohhhs" going on around the room. Four gives me a menacing smirk and pounds his fists with Zeke.
"Four." I say with pure hatred in my voice.
He leans in again and whispers, "Truth."
"Wimp," I respond. He shrugs.
"Why were you waiting for me in the shower this morning?"
He looks around at everyone and I can see their mouth's slightly drop. Christina is giving me the why didn't you tell me death stare and Robert just looks devastated. I guess asking this question didn't help our situation any, but Four really pissed me off.
When he doesn't respond within the first minute, I return the favor and pull his shirt up from the back and over his face. I leave it there so he has to struggle to get it all the way off. He finally gets it off and throws it at me with more force than necessary.
"Tris, am I the first guy to ever see you naked?" he lashes out.
"Dude, you she didn't answer truth or dare," Robert defends me.
It's too late, though, I'm already humiliated. The guys are laughing and the girls are just giving me sorry looks.
"You wouldn't have seen me naked if you weren't hiding in my fucking shower, asshole."
There is so much anger building up inside of me and I can't be in this room anymore. I didn't know he was a total douche bag. I put my shirt back on and walk out the door. I hear footsteps follow me and I have a feeling it's Robert. I lean against the wall, not facing him, to let him catch up. It's not Robert, it's Four. When I see him I let out an angry moan and start walking again. He grabs my arm and holds me against the wall. He didn't put his shirt back on so I can see all his muscles as he holds me there. I try not to gaze at his perfectly sculpted stomach, so I keep my head low.
"I'm sorry about that," He apologizes.
"What for, I get it."
"You get what?" he seems confused.
"You are the typical jock that belittles people for your own benefit. Whatever. Let go of me."
"That's not what happened. That's not me." His eyes are pleading me to understand, but I can't. I won't.
"It was just a game Tris, I was just having fun. Maybe I took it a little too far."
"A little? You just ruined any chance I had at fixing mine and Robert's friendship!"
"Robert is just your friend? Oh damn, I'm sorry."
What did he mean by that? Why would my relationship matter to him? He begs me to come back inside and for some reason I do. I don't want all my new friends to think of me as a stupid girl who can't handle a game of truth or dare.
We get back inside and Robert is gone, he must've slipped out and taken the stairs.
"There they are! We were getting worried that Tris killed you or something," Zeke jokes.
I give him a forced smile and take my seat again. Everyone is looking at me.
"What?"
"If you are going to continue, you have to take your shirt back off." Will answers and Christina playfully slaps him.
I look around at all the people forcing my shirt off with their eyes. I let out a sigh.
"Four, since you enjoyed taking my shift off the last time…" I don't continue. Instead I lift my arms up and he gives me his devilish grin as his hands find the hem of my shirt.
"Uriah," Four says while still looking at me.
"Dare."
"I dare you to walk outside and kiss the first person you see."
Marlene gives Four a glare, but Uriah jumps up and walks out the door. We all slowly follow behind until Uriah is face to face with his football coach.
"Excuse me coach," Uriah taps him on the shoulder. As soon as he turns around,
Uriah plants a big kiss on his mouth and runs back to the room, all of us laughing and falling over.
"You'll be doing extra laps for that one Uriah!" the coach yells.
"That…was….not….cool," he says between breaths.
The game continues on for a while. Not many people have picked me since the debacle between Four and I. My shirt is the only piece of clothing I have taken off, while most of the others, including Four, are in their underwear. I try not to glance over at him too much. I rather enjoy seeing him in his boxers, but I'm still pissed that he called me out like that.
"Tris," Will asks.
"Truth."
"Why did Robert leave your room in the middle of the night looking…. unsatisfied?"
"Really?" How did he know Robert left my room last night? He must've been sneaking out of Christina's room or something. I don't know what to do. I don't want to take my bra or my pants off. I guess the truth it is.
"Well, we were making out and I tried to undress him." Everyone is leaning in as I tell the story. Four's face is contorted a bit, maybe he's jealous or maybe he thinks I'm a liar because I told him Robert and I were just friends. "It was getting pretty hot and heavy," I lie, "and then I yelled out someone else's name."
I try to keep my cheeks from burning red and hide my face in my hands. I hear the guys yell "Dammnn," and the girls are laughing.
"Who's name did you call out?" Christina asks.
"That wasn't part of the question. And it's my turn." Everyone grunts. "Marlene."
"Truth." Why won't anyone pick dare around me?
"Is Uriah the best you've ever had?"
She smiles and answers, "Yes," before giving him a kiss. His face turns red and he leans in harder.
"Christina," Marlene says.
"Dare!"
"I dare you to take body shots off every person in this room."
Christina thinks about it for a second and then asks us all the lay down. We comply and let her take shots off of us. It feels really weird having her suck on my stomach to get the liquid into her mouth. I laugh a little and then wipe the remaining alcohol with my shirt. I look at the time and realize it's extremely late. I wave to everyone, except Four, as I leave.
