Here's another chapter back to back, same rules apply so please R and R thanks again! peace and love yah! )
Dinner was a balanced portion of meats, fruits, vegetables. We had water to wash it down with as me and Caleb took a seat.
Well the food may not taste as great as dauntless but I'm sure I can tolerate it
"How's your meat?" Caleb asked.
"Dry and overcooked but other than that great!"
"Must you be so sarcastic" he teased.
"Yes."
Just then a group of kids came to sit at our table, 3 others to be exact. There was a petite girl who had a blonde bob and wide grey eyes. To her left was a tall guy with black messy looking hair as a few locks hung over his eyes. To the right was another guy with mocha colored skin and cropped black hair with honey colored eyes.
"Hi my name is Wendy" said the girl.
"To the left is Max and to the left is Ethan."
Both boys said hi in unison before Ethan spoke up, "You two are transfers right?"
"Yep."
"Well would you like to have a little fun?"
"What kind of fun I asked curious?"
A wicked smile curved his lips, "just a game of truth or dare".
"Surely a dauntless wouldn't back down from that now would she?" taunted Wendy.
"Of course not that would be plain rude" I say with a smirk. "Bring it on but as long as my friend over here can play too"
"Him? What would be the point?" scoffed Max. "He's a stiff"
"Was a stiff" Caleb corrected. "And although I do not see the point in this little game I shall gladly participate".
"Fine meet us back at the library in 10 minutes oh and enjoy your meal."
With that Wendy, Max, and Ethan took off as quick as they came.
"Gosh those guys are a little stuck up."
"Were erudite remember we have to turn our noses up at everything."
Caleb smiled and I laughed at his statement and he laughed too. Finally after we calmed ourselves down he asked, "Are you going to eat your meat?"
"Never was and never will" I say before pushing the plate towards him.
The library is two lefts down from the mess hall and must I say it is quite a showcase. Two large marble pillars greet you at the entrance and a small check in desk is to the right but is currently empty. I take that as a sign and proceed with Caleb at my side.
Rows and Rows of books of every age and color surround us as large fire places and oak wood furniture compliment the spacious room. It truly is a beautiful sight and the knowledge that is in here feels like a living breathing thing. We see a flicker of movement from the very back of the library as we pass shelves of history.
There in the secluded corner off to the back right are the people we are supposed to meet right next to a bronze statue of a woman that seems familiar. Wendy must see me stare at it before replying, "That's Jeanie Matthew's head of the erudite faction".
"I see so why this particular spot?"
"You might not understand being transfers and all but this part of the library is the oldest and it makes the game of truth or dare all the more defiant in here."
"Wait were not supposed to be here?" questions Caleb.
"Oh don't be such a stiff" says Max.
"Hey cut it out he's plenty fit to be here."
"Will see now let's the game begin!"
So we all sit in a circle and in the middle there is a silver letter opener that acts as a temporary spinner. Wendy smiles before replying, "I'll go first."
I watch as she spins the shiny object and it land on Max.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"Did you actually get in trouble when you were 12 for stealing books?"
"Yes but in my defense I had a huge test coming up and well I needed them."
"Such a book hoarder" she says. "Okay Allura your turn!"
I smile before spinning the blade hastily. It spins and spins until it stops with the tip point at none other than Caleb.
"Alright Caleb truth or dare?"
"Dare" he says.
"Alright I dare you too…take off all your clothes from the waist up!"
"What?!"
"You aren't backing down are you?"
"Please I never back down from a problem."
So slowly he took off his sweater and tee before tossing them aside. Ethan gave a low whistle as Caleb wrapped his arms around himself a bit cold and extremely embarrassed. His face was an alarming shade of purple and I almost felt sorry for the guy…almost.
"I'm going to use the bathroom" Caleb states.
"Have fun it's just in the door behind us."
"Okay" he says before disappearing.
"My turn" says Max.
He spins the knife and ironically it lands on me.
"Truth or dare?"
"Dare me baby."
"Okay I dare you too…" a wicked smile appears on his lips, "I dare you to kiss Caleb as soon as he comes out of the bathroom and not just any kiss but it has to be a real, long, passionate smooch got it?"
I could already feel heat rise to my checks but as calmly as I could say, "Fine it's not like I haven't done it before" I said though still embarrassed at the thought.
"I look forward to it" he said before that evil grin appeared again.
Just then Caleb came out of the bathroom with his bare chest still showing and his hair just a bit messy, I wanted to laugh but I knew what I had to do.
"So what'd I miss?" he asks.
All three members exchange a glance before smiling. His confused expression says it all and opens his mouth to ask why.
It's now or never
Using all of my will power I gently grab his chin causing him to turn and face me. His mouth still slightly parted but I hastily cover it with my own. Caleb's eyes shoot wide open before I continue. My slender hands wrap around his neck as I'm firm and hungry against his lips. I savor his taste as I continue to move my mouth against his making sure to be slow and passionate like Max said. Honestly why did I end up doing this silly dare?
Because you wanted to
The thought shocks me to the core but what even more shocking is that I feel Caleb participating in this. His eyes are closed and I test the waters by gently slipping my tongue into his mouth causing him to shutter against my body. We continue on this way until the lack of air is desperate. Both our checks our flushed and I can feel my heartbeat racing a mile a minute.
Caleb's eyes slowly open and they snap out of there trance as he begins to stutter uncontrollably causing him to get even redder. Max, Wendy, and Ethan were all struck at what just happened so I figured I had to explain.
"I guess you could say you missed a lot, like what my dare was and such…nothing important."
"That was great man and oh shit! Look at the time we have to be in bed in 20 minutes!"
So we said our good-byes as I practically carried Caleb to his bed and just in time before the lights went off and the others were sleeping. Caleb silently changed into his pj's and went up to the top bunk. I decided to join him. His expression was that of trying to solve a puzzle.
"What exactly was the dare?"
"To give you a long passionate kiss why?"
"Felt like more."
This caused me to blush as a weak smile lit up his face but quickly vanished.
"What's wrong? Don't tell me that was your first kiss?"
"Well it was and it was one hell of a first kiss! But you know I thought it be with someone who loved me not with someone who I just met."
"You're so oblivious who's to say I can't be both?"
For the first time that day we were both quiet before he suddenly leaned forward and kissed me for the second time that day only this time it was brief but sweet. This time my mouth simply hung open in shock.
"Before you ask I didn't just do that to prove a point I did it because I'm sorry for judging you too quickly and well my mom used to give me goodnight kisses back in my old faction."
"I think that's very sweet of you and let's try to start over tomorrow ok?"
"Okay sounds good."
"Night Caleb."
"Goodnight Allura" he whispered but I was already out.
