Artie and me made our way to the other room and we all sat in a circle.
"Over here is truth or dare and over there," The kid from earlier said while pointing to the other side of the room. "Is spin the bottle."
The kid sat down and picked Lovina, who wanted to play so she dragged Antonio along. "Truth or Dare?" The nameless kid asked.
"Truth" She replied.
"Ok then, how was your first kiss with Antonio?" The kid asked.
"Um, I was leaving to go on vacation for the entire summer. As I was about to get in the car to drive off, he grabbed me and kissed me," She responded with a blush. "My turn now."
"Natalia, Truth or Dare?" Lovina asked.
"Truth." She responded.
"Why do you like your brother so much?" Lovina asked.
"Because he has everything I look for in a man and we are so distant sometimes that it seems we are not siblings." Natalia replied. She was wearing a ghost costume.
"Emily, Truth or Dare." She asked
"Dare." I said sticking my tongue out.
"Ok, I dare you to kiss the Pirate for more than 10 seconds." Natalia said. I was surprised she could come up with such a dare.
"Are you ok with this Artie?" I asked.
"Yes, I guess." He responded.
I leaned in and waited for him to lean in too. I was becoming impatient so I placed my hand on the back of his head and pulled his head close. As our lips met, I felt as though I was going to fly off. He had a faint taste of tea, but I didn't mind. Natalia was counting seconds and when she reached 10 we were still in the same position as earlier. It wasn't until she reached 20 that we separated. I pulled away and said sorry to Artie that we had to kiss or something worse might happen.
"Wow Emily, you went a whole 20 some odd seconds with Pirate. I didn't think you had it in you." Lovina said.
"Shuddup! I bet you couldn't do that with someone other than Antonio." I teased.
"Ok enough for now." Antonio said trying to calm everyone down.
"Ok my turn. Truth or Dare, Elizabeta?" I asked. I was so glad that Feli, Ludwig, Eliza, Maddie, Gil, Francis, Antonio, Ivan, Natalia, Nene, Kiku, Mei, and Lovina were playing.
"Psh, Dare." Eliza answered.
"Ok I'm passing the dare along, I dare you to kiss Gil for more than 15 seconds." I said with a smirk on my face.
For the first time ever, I saw that Eliza and Gil blush and look at the ground.
"A dare's a dare and if you say no, you'll have to kiss him longer." I said.
"Screw this, The Awesome me shall start." Gil said as he pulled her in and kissed her. Natalia was counting again and reached 15 and that's when I could see they deepened the kiss. Rodeprick was passing by and as he did, he yelled 'Get a room!' Natalia kept counting and there was no luck at 20 or 30. They could not let go of each other. God, we were at a minute when they finally separated.
"Looks like there's a new couple." Lovina said in a teasing tone.
All Eliza could do is blush. I bet she never realized that Gil liked her. Elizabeta was sitting next to me and Gilbert was next to her. I whispered to Eliza if I could talk to her in the bathroom, she said sure.
"Me and 'Lizabeta are going to the bathroom for a minute. We won't be long, be right back." I said as I walked off with Eliza.
"You ok?" I asked her as soon as the others were out of sight.
"Yeah, I never knew Gil liked me. We were always close when we were kids but ever since Roderick got into the picture, I kinda forgot about Gil. " She said.
"Ok, well I have an idea for who to ask next." I said sticking my tongue out.
"Who?" She asked.
"Lovina and if she says truth, ask her if she's a virgin." I said." If she says dare, dare her to kiss that kid that asked her how her first kiss with Antonio went."
"Wow Emily, you are getting good at payback and kinda perverted at that." Elizabeta said.
"What can I say, I've been hanging around two pervs in my extra language classes." I told her with a touch of pride in my voice.
"Hey, I saw you there with Arthur. You got the hots for him?" Eliza asked.
I blushed and answered with a quiet yes.
"I knew it! Let's get back before anyone misses us." Elizabeta said.
We walked back and I felt more and more nervous to go back because then I would have to see the Pirate that I barely knew but managed to kiss and fall head over heals for. I sat down next to Artie and looked the other way. I didn't want him to see me blushing.
"Lovina, Truth or Dare?" Elizabeta asked.
"Truth." Lovina said.
"Ok, Are you a virgin?" Elizabeta asked.
The whole crowd fell silent. Lovina was a good year older than me. Lovina and Antonio blushed, Antonio looked down while Lovina look shocked that Eliza would ask that question.
"Virgin, I believe in losing your V card when you're married." Lovina said trying to stay calm.
"I believe it's my turn again so, Toni, Truth or Dare?" Lovina asked.
"Dare, Mi Tomate" Antonio said with a smile on his face.
Lovina leaned in so only Antonio could hear and whispered the dare. When she finished she pulled away.
"Seriously Tomate?" Antonio said with a blush.
"Si, at least it's not with some stranger." She said.
"Ok, only if you want." Antonio said as he pulled her in to a kiss.
"Wow, looks like everybody is trying to squeeze a kiss out of this game." Francis said while scooting close to Maddie. I grabbed Maddie just as he was right next to her.
"What are you doing, I like Francis." Maddie said in a whisper with a blush.
"You know I don't want you dating him. He's hurt plenty of girls and including me." I told her trying to forget about my dry throat. I always get a really dry throat before I start to cry. A year ago Francis had tried to "get to know me better" by almost raping me. We got over everything but a part of me still hates him for that. He acts like nothing ever happened but we all know that he would never forget the time he bashed a vase on stomach leaving a nice size scar. This incident scared me emotionally and physically. I can never really get too close to any other guys ever again. A strange thing is that I find my self growing closer and closer to Artie, it's like he's not a guy. To me he feels almost like my other half, my other sexy half. His accent is just pulling me closer with every word he says but his personality is pulling me in like a magnet.
"Sorry Emily, I forgot…. But I can't just change who I like that." She said as she snapped her fingers.
"Ok, but if anything weird happens, don't be afraid to tell someone, k?" I told her.
"Are you aright?" Artie asked.
"Yeah, I just have a wound that Francis made that Maddie just reopened." I told him turning around and I felt a tear escape my eye. Artie whipped the tear away and pulled me into a hug. Before I knew it I was quietly sobbing.
"Go on over near the WC, I'll be over there soon." Artie told me. Good thing I remember what a WC was from when I had to read Anne Frank. I got up and walked over to the bathroom and within minutes later, Artie was there. I was sitting on the floor so Artie sat next to me.
"I know this might not be the brightest thing to ask, but what the hell the that French frog do to you to make you cry like this?" He asked.
"About a year ago, he tried to rape me." I told him and after that he was silent.
"I was doing something wrong, I don't know what but he bashed a vase on my stomach. I still have the scar." I told him breaking out crying waterfalls.
"Wow, I knew he was a pervert just from the look of him, but this brings it to a whole new level." He said in complete awe.
"Maddie has a crush on him, I keep telling her no but... I just don't like Francis." I said while my crying was dying down. All Artie did was pull me into a hug. What I thought was going to be a fun party turned out to be a total piece of crap.
"Thanks for being here Artie, you're a good friend." I told him. "I hate to sound all flirty like, I guess that's how it's going to come off but I bet you had a lot of girlfriends in England." I told him with a faint blush.
"I had one, she was a cheating BEEP. Every time I would plan to go out on a date, she would answer her phone by calling me names and taking to the other guy in the room." He said. "One time she even bought her other boyfriend with her on one of our dates."
"Seems like you attracted the wrong crowd." I told him." I always hung out with the weirdoes and that kiss earlier, was my first."
"Wow, you seem like the type that would attract every guy out there." He said in a tone that sounded like he was half joking. I looked down at myself, I was skinny (not anorexic) and I looked a little tall. I had a nice sized chest. My dress looked good in certain areas of my body but others, I thought could look better.
"Really?" I asked quietly.
Yes, you are quite beautiful. You have beautiful eyes and that dress looks great on you." He said.
I had had a problem with my self esteem lately because of what happened with Francis and how I thought that other people around me were more beautiful.
I was always comparing myself to others, never looking at my qualities. I had the typical girl self esteem problems. At one time I thought I was too fat so I tried sometime or how one time I thought that my chest was too big.
I picked my head up and pecked Artie on the cheek and he blushed.
"Thank you. I think you really helped my self esteem." I said hugging him.
"You-you're welcome. I never thought I would make this big of an impact in two days." He said returning the hug. As we pulled back I checked my phone for the time, it was 9:21. CRAP!
"Artie, I need to go home. My mom said to be home by 9." I said in a little bit of a panic. I got up and ran over to get Maddie.
"Maddie, we need to go, say bye to everyone." I said.
"Well bye everyone." Maddie said as she got up but sometime caught her. It was Francis's hand. He pulled her down said something in her ear and kissed her cheek. I felt myself throw up a bit in my mouth.
"Bye everyone see yall tomorrow!" I said as I made my way back to Artie.
"You should probably come home with us." I told him.
"Ok" He said.
"Hey, I'm going to go on a head home, k?" Maddie said.
"Ok, be safe." I told her pulling her in for a hug. Maddie left right after we hugged.
Me and Artie walked out of Antonio's house and made out way home. I really felt like I needed another hug.
"Hey Artie, can I get another hug please?" I asked with a deep blush on my face.
"Sure." He said as he pulled me into another hug. Wow, I am really opening up to him.
"So how could you get into Hetalia High, it seems to me that you don't know any other language than English." I said looking up at him.
"Cymraeg,"He said and I just starred at him with a confused look on my face. "Welsh."
"Wow. That sounds really cool." I said as I pulled out of the hug.
"My oldest brother lived over there, so I would visit him." He explained.
"Can you say something else in Welsh please, it sounds so cool." I asked
"Rwyf wrth fy modd i chi Emilia. Rydych yn hardd fel rhosyn." He said.
"That sounds so cool, I never knew there was Welsh classes at Hetalia High. So where do your other brothers live?" I asked
"There's one in Whales, one in Northern Ireland and the other is in Scotland." He replied.
"Artie, you are such a great friend. Did you want to come to the U.S.?" I asked
"Not really because I was leaving my old life behind. But now I think my mind has changed because I've met some colorful people." He said
"Oh, looks like we're home. Goodnight see ya tomorrow." I said as I gave him a quick peck on the cheek. Again, I left him outside, confused and this time with a slight blush on his face.
For now with the Welsh, use Google Translate. It's a surprise for you people to find out what it means :P. Review so I can get better.
