3, 2, 1 BOOM – Chapter 11
"Dare" Grace finally said.
"Are you sure? You really want to risk it with my dirty mind?" Eli enjoyed himself so much. "Are you afraid to answer my Truth, Gracie?" He smiled devilishly.
"I'm not afraid of you" Grace told him as a smile began to form on her face. "How can I be afraid of a guy who can dance Britney so well?" she had to catch her breath after her laugh attack.
"So be it, than"
"Just remember, you provoked me to do it…" Eli cryptically whispered. Grace's heart skipped a beat when she heard his tone.
*Grace*
Eli can be cruel…
*******
'I want to make her blush' Eli thought to himself, 'she's so cute when she blushes…'
"I dare you to… kiss me"
"Eliiiiiii…"
*Eli*
I have to find out, and what's a better way than this?
****
"C'mon Gracie, BE A SPORT…" he used her own words against her. Grace's mind raced and her heartbeat quickened. 'I've been dreaming to do it for so long, but it's just a game for him now, isn't it?' 'But the way he looked at me before…'
'What the hell, I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life if I won't do it now' she thought to herself. 'And he thinks this is a punishment… if only he knew…'
*Grace*
It's now or never, I guess…
*******
"Fine. You win." She told him looking straight into his eyes. It seemed like the air gotten thicker in the room. Grace put the cards aside, and moving her blanket away, started getting closer to Eli, who was sitting on the opposite end of the couch. Eli couldn't miss noticing she had a very determined look on her face, like she was on a mission. It seemed like time moved slower as Grace inched closer and closer towards him. Eli could smell her shampoo and a faint reminder of her perfume. Their looks were locked on each other. Grace wasn't thinking by now, she was overwhelmed by the recognition she was going to kiss the one she's been in love with for over a year now, finally. His smell was intoxicating as ever and he looked so kissable.
The slow motion moment was broken as Grace's lips tentatively touched Eli's. It began as a tender contact at first; both of them were surprised by how it felt. How good it felt.
*Grace*
I always knew it'll be great, I just never imagined it'd be that great.
*******
*Eli*
Wow…
****
Unconsciously, both of them got closer. Eli's hands moving to feel Grace's hair and Grace's hands gripping on Eli's back as their kiss became heated. It just felt right, like there was some kind of perfect match between them, and they finally found each other.
*Grace*
(huge smile) Bliss
****
Time flew by unnoticed as they kissed on the couch, the room lighted by only three candles, and the lightning blasting outside.
*Eli*
Why didn't I notice this before?
****
They finally broke apart after about ten minutes, both breathing a little heavily, their gazes still locked with each other. Surprisingly, it didn't feel awkward. Eli's mouth slowly curved into a little smirk, but a playful one. "So…" "You did your Dare pretty well…" Grace blushed at his words. "You helped" she smiled shyly.
"Grace, will you answer my Truth?" Eli asked now smiling warmly at her. "Maybe" Grace answered shyly, guessing he was referring to his previous Truth. "What does your answer depend on? Do you want me to sing Christina now?" Eli joked. "Cause I'll do it if that what it takes for you to answer my question"
*Grace*
Would he? For me? Smirks evilly
****
"You would?" Grace was now grinning.
"Is it really required?" Eli asked pouting.
"I guess I can spare you".
"So…"
"Who?"
Grace took a deep breath, and lowered her eyes as she spoke, almost whispered. "You".
