Hi
Beck's POV
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea…" I said immediately. Was she crazy? The last thing we needed was the truth to get out or a dare to make people suspicious.
"Why not?" Jade widened her eyes innocently at me. "Are you chicken?"
"No, I just think—,"
"I think we should play!" Ally said excitedly as she moved to sit on the floor next to where Andre was already seated.
"Ooooh fun!" Cat said, sitting down beside Ally. Robbie sat down next to her like a trained dog obviously glad the game was going to happen.
"Wait, what about Kris?" Tori asked, bringing up a name Jade and I hadn't brought up since the other night.
"What about him?" Jade shrugged.
"Well what if you get dared to do something…with someone?" Tori raised her eyebrows suggestively.
"Kris and I are on a break." She put it simply. "And no, I don't want to talk about it. Let's just play." She said as soon as Tori opened her mouth again.
"Alright," Tori let it go and sat down on the other side of Andre. Jade followed, leaving the only empty space for me between her and Robbie.
"Fine," I sighed and completed the circle we'd made on Tori's living room floor; all I can do now is hope this doesn't end badly.
"We need something to spin for turns," Jade said.
"Here!" Tori said as she handed Jade an empty bottle of ketchup.
"Who wants to go first?" Jade shook the bottle enticingly at us, but no one volunteered. "Alright, I guess I'll go."
She put the bottle down and spun it lightly. Half of me wished it would land on me; the other half dreaded the chances. The tip of the bottle stopped when it pointed at Tori, though, making her squeal and look at Jade in fear.
"Alright Tori…truth or dare?" Jade said with a smirk.
"Umm….truth."
"Ugh!" What a wuss." Jade rolled her eyes.
"Hey!" Tori whined.
"Okay," Jade thought for a second. "Truth; Are you a virgin?" Tori blushed instantly but didn't say anything. "Tick tock…" Jade pressured.
"No." Tori said quickly, making Cat and Ally gasp.
"Why didn't you tell me!" Cat squealed.
"With who?!" Ally questioned.
"That wasn't part of the question!" Tori said, still looking awkward. "My turn!" She spun the ketchup bottle in front of her till it landed on Andre. "Andre, truth or dare?"
"Uhh truth," he said. That wasn't good, he knew about me and Jade.
"Hmm…who is…the last person you saw naked?"
"Ohhh!" the gang reacted and waited for his answer. I didn't think about it until Andre started looking at me nervously, but I think I was the last person he saw. Well I wasn't completely nude, but still, what he saw in the janitor's closet was enough. Man, he was such a terrible liar what was he going to say?! I knew this was a bad idea.
"Oh my gosh!" Ally squealed looking over towards me. "It was Jade?!" she said to Andre. From her angle it must've seemed like he was looking at Jade, not me.
"Oh my god!" Cat giggled.
"How did that happen?!" Tori asked, not bothering to question its truth.
"Uh…uh…well…you see…" Andre stuttered.
"He walked into my dressing room before the showcase," Jade lied quickly. "I guess knocking is a foreign concept to some people."
"Uh…yeah…sorry." Andre finished, still looking shaken. "I'll go." He spun the ketchup bottle till it landed on Ally. "Truth or dare?"
"Mmm…truth," she said with a smile.
"Ugh, you guys are such babies!" Jade groaned from my right.
"Alright," Andre rubbed his hands together to think. "Truth…are you dressing so slutty to get Beck's attention?"
Whoa what?
"What? No!" Ally said too fast. Her face turned beet red and I had to look away it was so uncomfortable.
"Wow…" Jade said with a chuckle. "Maybe this game isn't so boring after all."
"Whatever! Let's move on!" Ally said as she took her turn to spin. This time, the bottle's tip pointed directly at Jade.
"Dare." Jade said before she was asked. I gulped and prayed the shit wouldn't hit the fan.
"I dare you….to kiss Andre," Ally finished with a smirk. What? No no no. This game was a horrible idea. The gang erupted with ooohs while Andre looked…happy? What the hell? No. No way is this happening.
"Fine," Jade said with ease. What?! I stared daggers into her as she crawled forward into the middle of the circle.
"For 10 seconds!" Ally added onto Jade's dare and my discomfort. Andre followed her lead and moved towards the center with a hint of anticipation in his eyes. And he was supposed to be my friend!
"Ready?" No. "Go!" Ally said as Jade leaned in to connect her lips with Andre's.
"10…9…" the group chanted; Ugh, her lips don't belong on his, this is disgusting. Why were they counting so slowly?!
"8…7…" This is just ridiculous; did he just put his tongue in her mouth?! The way he was kissing her, you'd think he was trying to prove something.
"6…5…" This was like a terrible car accident. It was awful, but I couldn't tear my eyes away.
"4…3…" 2, 1! How hard was it to count faster!
"2….." I can't stand this anymore, come on! Come on!
"1!" I said loudly before anyone else and at last they broke apart. Everyone cheered and clapped as they returned to their original seats. I wanted to put my arms around her and show her a real kiss…but we were just friends here. Instead I suppressed my frown and tried to act natural.
"Alright, let's go!" Jade said as she spun the bottle for her next victim. The bottle landed straight on Robbie who looked nervously at Jade. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth!" He squeaked.
"Hmmm…" Jade tapped a finger on her full lips. "Truth; do you like Cat?"
Cat gasped and the group ooooh again. We all knew they had a thing for each other, but now finally they'd know.
"Umm…I, I, I…" Robbie stuttered, clearly flushed. "Yes." He said, barely audible; making us all clap. Finally! "Okay okay, my turn." He took the attention off himself and onto the now spinning bottle. It landed on Ally, and I hoped her turn would have nothing to do with me.
"Truth." She said again, making Jade groan. So far, she'd been the only one willing to accept a dare.
"Alright," Robbie said, and came up with his question. "Where do you get your nails done?"
The gang groaned and threw pillows at Robbie for his lame truth but I sighed in relief. Ally answered him with the name of her manicurist and then spun the bottle for herself.
Not me. Not me. Not me. Not me. I begged the bottle Gods, but to no avail. The ketchup betrayed be and pointed at me head on.
"Truth or dare?" Ally asked, looking at me intensely. Let's see…if I pick truth she might ask me if I miss her or something way too personal…if I pick dare maybe she'll just have me jump off Tori's roof or something; that sounded better than the first option.
"Dare," I said confidently, earning my own round of ooohs.
"I dare you…" she added a long pause for affect. "To kiss me."
Whoa. Again, didn't see that coming. Is that even legal? She can't order a dare upon herself, can she? Was there a rulebook for this game? Obviously the group didn't think so as they oooohhed and aaaahhed, waiting for us to kiss.
"Okay," I said smoothly. As I started to crawl forward, I saw Jade cross her arms from the corner of my eye, but kept moving. Ally moved towards me with no hesitation and closed her eyes. Her lips looked ready and I had vague flashbacks of all the times I'd kissed her when we were together. I leaned in close to her mouth but at the last second moved swiftly to peck her cheek.
"Hey!" She said as she blinked her eyes open.
"You didn't say where." I shrugged and went back to my seat with a smile. She pouted while I ignored it and spun the bottle for the first time. It spun around and around until it slowed at Cat's crossed legs.
"Eeep!" She squealed with a smile. That was when I decided to go on the offensive. I could have fun in this game too. "Dare!" She said with a giggle.
"Atta girl, Cat!" Jade cheered her on, and I grinned.
"Okay Cat…I dare you," Robbie was gonna worship me. "To give Robbie a lap dance for 30 seconds. And you have to sing your own soundtrack."
This got the loudest group cheers as Robbie threw Rex off his lap and sat up straighter in his spot. Cat giggled, but stood up and flipped her hair. I signaled that I started the stopwatch and she began.
"Loving you is really all that's on my mind…" she sang a song I think Beyonce sang as she swiveled her hips slowly with her back to Robbie. "And I can't help but to think about it day and night, I wanna make that body rock. Sit back and watch!" She sang with her powerful voice and playfully pushed him back. "Tonight I'm gonna dance for you. Tonight I'm gonna dance for you!" She grinded her hips to the music in her head as her voice ran through the song. "Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body. Boy I like it when you watch me, ah. Tonight it's going down!"
"And time!" I said after 40 seconds, wanting Robbie to get the extra 10. Cat sat back down with another innocent giggle while Robbie seemed to be having trouble breathing. That guy owed me.
"Oooo my turn!" Cat reach forward and spun the bottle happily. It spun slower and slower until it came to a halt in front of Jade. "JJ, truth or dare!?"
"Dare, and don't call me that!" She said with attitude.
"Hmmm," Cat clapped her hands together and looked at Jade with a big smile. "I dare you…to kiss Beck!"
Finally, someone was speaking my language! Wait, maybe it wasn't so great an idea. Wait again, how could anything involving Jade kissing me not be a great idea? I just had to act like I'd never done it before.
"I don't think that's a good idea!" Ally said out of nowhere, but the rest of the gang had already started their cheering.
"On the lips!" Cat added, remembering my loophole. "For 10 seconds!" Nowhere near long enough, but it was better than nothing.
"I accept," Jade replied and looked at me with a smirk.
"Well, if it's for the game…" I faked my consent. All I had to do was play it cool, and everyone would think this was just a dumb dare. I could do that.
I looked at Jade and tried to suppress the smile I could feel forming. She leaned forward at the same time as me and our lips connected, igniting the fireworks within me again.
"10…" I heard the group chant just as Jade put her hand on my cheek. I put my hand behind her neck to pull her closer. She parted her lips a bit, leaving just enough room for my tongue to sneak in. I weaved my fingers up into her hair and couldn't stop picturing her wearing nothing but my t shirt. I was losing oxygen, but building fire. Her tongue had just pinned mine when I heard Andre clear his throat and remembered where we were.
I pulled away from her sweet lips and turned back to face the middle of the circle. I wiped my mouth on the back of my hand and noticed the gang was still staring at us. Shit. That was definitely not playing it cool, how long had we been kissing? I didn't even hear them get to 1!
"Whose turn is it?" Jade said, breaking an awkward silence.
"Umm…Beck's I think," Tori said, looking a little stunned. Now I really wonder what they think. They're all still looking at us weirdly.
"You think you're so tough?" Ally said suddenly to Jade.
"What?" Jade looked at her unimpressed.
"You think you can handle a dare?" Ally said in a confrontational way.
"Name it." Jade replied, getting her usual demeanor back.
"I dare you…to jump off Tori's roof and into her pool." Ally crossed her arms, obviously satisfied with herself.
"Done." Jade said to my dismay. She's crazy, the roof above Tori's patio was only one story, but still.
"What? Jade that's crazy! You'll get hurt," Tori read my mind. Jade ignored her though and stood up, leading us all outside. The night air was cold as she looked at the distance between the roof and the pool.
"How deep is your pool?" She asked.
"8 and a half feet."
"I'll be fine," she said and turned to climb the wall ladder next to the patio. I grabbed her arm before she could leave and gave her my most expressive look possible. If telepathy worked, I needed it now.
She can't go through with this, she'll get hurt. Or worse. I pleaded with my eyes for her to stay but she pulled her arm out of my grasp and went anyways. She climbed the ladder quickly and stood atop the patio at the furthest end.
"Ready?" she asked us as if we had anything to do with it.
"You can do it JJ!" Cat cheered alongside Robbie and Andre while Ally stood with her arms crossed. Tori looked around nervously while I started shaking. She can't go through with this, what if she misses?!
Just as I'd made my mind up to stop her, no matter what the group thought, she took off. She ran full speed on the short distance of the roof and jumped feet first into the pool. She landed like a torpedo with a splash, but my heart didn't beat again until she surfaced with that same smirk on her face.
"No, Ally!" She called to Ally who was still looking angry. "I don't think I'm tough. I know I am."
Jade's POV
"Beck…" I whispered near his ear and shook him lightly. "Beck…babe wake up…" It was hard fighting the urge to yell, but I couldn't wake Robbie and Andre. I'd tiptoed downstairs to where the boys were sleeping on the living room floor after an hour of tossing and turning.
"Mmm…" he stirred under the covers and blinked his eyes open. "Jade?" He said too loudly. I covered his mouth and motioned for him to follow me.
He stood up and took my hand as we climbed over Andre and Robbie's sleeping forms to go out Tori's side door. Once outside, he pulled me close to him as we walked out into her backyard.
"What's going on? It's the middle of the night," he breathed in the cold air.
"I missed you," I said simply. Usually I hated admitting that, but it seemed ridiculous to deny it now. He grinned from ear to ear and took me hand to lead me further into the yard.
"It's freezing," he said when we stopped under a tree in her yard. He rubbed his hands up and down my arms to make them warm then settled on holding me tight against his chest.
I looked up at him and didn't hesitate to kiss him. The feel of his lips on mine felt so much nicer than any other ones had tonight. He pulled back though, too soon like earlier.
"What's wrong?" I asked as my lips started getting cold again.
"You uh…" I raised my eyebrows waiting for an answer. "You didn't…like kissing Andre did you?"
"What?" I almost laughed. "Beck…" I shook my head at him. "You can't be serious."
"Well…" he kind of shrugged and looked away. Was he…
"Beck are you jealous?" I didn't believe the words myself.
"What? No. I'm just…curious. Andre seemed to be enjoying himself so…I thought maybe it wasn't horrible for you either…"
"Beck." He looked at me finally. I never thought we'd be having this conversation. "I promise you, I didn't enjoy that kiss."
"Well if you insist," he shrugged it off as if I brought it up.
"I do." I said seriously, knowing how deep jealousy burns. He smiled and returned to kissing me.
Before long, it got too cold for us to bear and we went inside; both of us crawling under his covers and falling asleep like we had these past few days: happy.
The enddddddd.
For nowwwwwww
Reviewwwwww?
Have a nice day! : )
