I own nothing HOA!

Thanks for reading! And thanks for the dare suggestions. Here is the second portion of the game night, there is definitely going to be one more section of game night, maybe more. I'll see where this goes. Enjoy!

Patricia POV

Dammit, I was speechless. Jerome's blue eyes were staring straight at me as he answered my truth. "Yes, but I thought I'd made that abundantly clear Trix," the teasing smile on his lips gets me as much as his words do. He just flat out admitted in front of everyone that he wanted me. The problem was I wanted him too. I wanted him bad.

Completing my original dare was going to be much more complicated than I'd originally thought. Yes, it would be very easy to get Jerome to fall for me, he'd just admitted he was basically already there. The problem was going to be stopping myself for falling for him in return. I couldn't fall for Jerome, I didn't need a guy no matter how much I wanted him.

Jerome sends me a wink when I don't react. He knows he's got me stuck. Dammit!

"Who's next?" Amber asks when Jerome doesn't keep the game rolling immediately.

Jerome's eyes finally leave me as they go to look around the circle, his eyes settle on Joy who is sitting next to me. "Joy, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Joy answers.

I snap out of my Jerome daze when I hear Joy's answer. This is exactly what I've been waiting for, I'd promised Eddie I'd get the two of them together and now I needed Jerome's help. I had the perfect truth to ask her, now I just needed to get it across to Jerome.

Before Jerome has a chance to come up with a truth of his own I couch a little to gain his attention. Like I expected, his blue eyes flick away from Joy and land on me. The look he is sending me fills me with feelings I don't want to be feeling right now. I push them down and subtly motion my head to Eddie. Jerome raises his eyebrows in confusion. I motion between Joy and Eddie as I mouth, "Date Eddie."

Jerome's eyes linger on mine for a second before he nods, apparently getting my message. He turns back to Joy and asks, "Would you ever date Eddie?"

"What?" Joy asks in confusion. "Why would you ask that?"

"Just answer the question Joy," Jerome says, his eyes flicking over to me again to make sure he got the message. I send him a flirty smile, yes, he definitely got it right and I owe him one.

I turn to look at Joy and her cheeks are red, she looks to me for help and I just shrug. She doesn't seem to realize that I'd just set her up.

"So Joy, would you date me?" Eddie asks when Joy doesn't respond still.

Joy lets out a loud sigh before answering, "Yes I would." I knew that was the answer that was coming. Joy has liked Eddie forever, but it was a crush she swore she'd never act on. Now that I knew Eddie liked her back, I couldn't help but make he act on it. After all, she was the one who was trying to set Jerome and I up. It seemed only fair that I attempt to set her up as well.

Commotion breaks out around the circle as everyone takes in what was just admitted. I look back at Jerome to find his eyes on me, "Thank you," I mouth and send him a small smile.

Jerome just nods and runs a hand through his silky sandy blonde hair. Oh, how I'd love to run my hands through that hair and tangle my fingers in it as his mouth is pressed to mine. And then his hands would…NO PATRICIA! STOP IT! I mentally scream at myself as I close my eyes and shake the thoughts of Jerome out of my head.

When I open my eyes they immediately meet Jerome's once again and he sends me a knowing look almost like he is thinking the same exact things that I was. Dammit, if he's thinking the same things I am, then why are we still sitting here playing this game when we could be making those fantasies a reality? DAMMIT PATRICIA! STOP IT! My mind screams at me again and I groan as I drop my head to my hands. I need to get Jerome out of my head, there is not way I can walk away from this dare unharmed it I fall for him as well.

I zone out as the game continues, fighting the images of Jerome that keep popping into my head. I refuse to look at him, but that's not helping my imagination any. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than the thoughts that were running through my head Amber says, "Patricia, truth or dare?"

I snap my eyes up to meet Amber's, "Dare," I answer, not sure I can take another truth right now. Anyway, Amber doesn't know my plan with Eddie so the dare probably won't have anything to do with Jerome. Stupid me for forgetting Amber knows about the dare as well.

"I dare you to play a game of fire truck with Jerome," Amber smiles mischievously and there are a bunch of hoots and hollers from around the circle.

"No way in hell!" the words are out of my mouth before I have a chance to stop them. Dammit, if I want to win this bet I need to do this. The problem is I know it will have as much affect on me as it will on Jerome, if not more.

"Not up for the challenge Trix?" Jerome smirks from across the circle, his blue eyes darkening as the seconds passed. It looked like he was going to enjoy this.

Dammit! I curse internally. Looks like I need to step my game up a notch. I couldn't believe I was going to do this, "You wish." I roll my eyes as I start to mentally prepare myself for the next few pivotal seconds. There were some lines that once you crossed them you couldn't go back, I had the feeling this was one of them.

Thanks for reading! I would love to know what you think! Who do you want to see be the "fire truck" driver? Patricia or Jerome? I feel like the fire truck is usually the guy, but we can mix it up however you all want to see it. It's going to be Jerome's POV if that makes you prefer one or the other. Let me know what you want to see :)
