I own nothing HOA!

Thanks for the feedback so far and thanks for reading! If you have any suggestions as to where you want to see this go, please let me know. I am honestly just winging this right now and have no idea where it is going to go.

Patricia POV

I took a deep breath and stood from my spot on the floor in Amber and Nina's room. I might as well get started on this dare, so I could get it over with quicker.

"Where are you going?" Amber asks in confusion as I move towards the door. "Are we still playing?"

"I have a dare to complete," I look over my shoulder at the others as I reach out and grab the door handle.

"Oooh! I'm coming to watch!" Amber squeals and I just shake my head as I open the door. Sometimes Amber was a little slow on the uptake, but she was definitely entertaining.

I make my way down the hallway and descend the steps as I try to figure out what the best approach to seducing Jerome will be. I decide I'll just wing it and see where it goes from there. If I start throwing myself in his face, maybe he'll fall for it and I can be done with this dare.

I stop at the bottom of the stairs and check my appearance in the newly added mirror. I look myself over, taking in the tight neon pink t-shirt that hugs my figure nicely and black yoga pants that I was currently wearing for our girl's night. I didn't look half bad, this would do. I pull my hair out of the messy bun it had been in and fluff it around my shoulders, that should work. "How do I look?" I turn to face Joy, Nina, and Amber who came to stop behind me.

"Jerome won't know what hit him," Joy says with a teasing smile.

I roll my eyes and turn towards the common room door where I can hear the boys playing video games. I walk through the door and find Jerome and Eddie sitting on the couch with controllers in hand as they race each other in whatever racing game they are playing. Fabian and Alfie are sitting in the chairs around the couch watching the race.

"Hey guys," I greet as I walk over to the couch where Jerome and Eddie are sitting and plop down right next to Jerome. So close that our legs are brushing, I can feel the warmth of this strong thigh through my thin yoga pants. Jerome doesn't even seem to notice that I am sitting next to him, never taking his eyes off the game. I roll my eyes, boys and their games. I guess it's time to step it up a notch.

As Joy, Amber, and Nina join their respective boyfriends, I lean in closer to Jerome. "Who's winning?" I ask, placing my hand high on Jerome's upper thigh as I lean closer, pretending to watch the game they are playing. Instead I focus my eyes on Jerome's face and watch his reaction. His blue eyes widen and his eyes finally leave the screen and move to my hand that is positioned on his leg.

"Yes!" Eddie lets out as Jerome's eyes are still on my hand.

His eyes flip back to the screen as he curses, "Dammit Patricia!" Apparently as I distracted him, he lost the game. Oh, well.

"What?" I ask coyly leaning even closer.

He whips his head around to look at me as he says, "You distracted me…" Jerome trials off when he finally realizes how close I am. His blue eyes are staring into mine and our lips are mere inches apart. I don't pull away and he hesitates, as if trying to figure out what to do.

"Sorry," I say innocently, batting my eyelashes in a move I've seen Amber use a million times. My eyes flick down to his kissable lips and I bite my lip subconsciously, looking back up to his blue eyes I can tell he's noticed the shift between us. Dammit Joy! I curse internally. Why the hell did you dare me to do this? I shouldn't be the one sitting here thinking of how kissable Jerome's lips look. He should be the one wanting to kiss me, not the other way around.

"Thanks Yacker!" Eddie exclaims, pulling me out of my trance.

I pull away from Jerome and smile at Eddie. "No problem, besides I wanted a turn," I smile as I grab the controller from Jerome's hand and try to push thoughts of kissing him out of my mind. I'm still going to complete this dare, I just need the upper hand, so I make a bold move. Even before I realize what my plan is, I get up and move to Jerome's lap to play the game.

"What the hell are you doing Trix?" Jerome whispers in my ear as his big hands go to my waist.

"Playing the game," I smile innocently over my shoulder at him, moving slightly on his lap to get more comfortable. I know the affect I am having on him though, I can feel it beneath me.

"Why are you on my lap?" Jerome grumbles, his discomfort evident. I am getting to him, good.

"You were in my seat," I shrug and move some more as I start the race against Eddie.

"You could have asked me to move," Jerome protests as his hands tighten on my waist and stop me from moving.

"Shh, I'm busy," I shush him as I play the game. I can tell Jerome is affected by everything I'm doing and I'm getting to him, maybe this will be easier than I'd first thought.

I quickly beat Eddie in the game and jump off of Jerome's lap, turning back to him with what I hope is a seductive smile and hand him back the controller. Jerome's eyes are on mine and his face is closed off, I know he's trying to put out the fire that I just started, but I can't have that.

I let my eyes rake over his long body, making sure that he knows exactly what I am doing. I let my eyes rake over his lean torso and down to the slight bulge in his pants, letting my eyes linger much longer than necessary so he gets my point. I drag my eyes back up to his darkening blue eyes and send him a wink before saying, "I'm going to find something to eat," and walk off to the kitchen. I can feel Jerome's eyes on me the whole way and honestly I like it.

I am hoping he will follow me and I can lay down some more groundwork. I shouldn't be imagining what will happen if Jerome follows me, with excited anticipation, but I am. Damn, I was getting in to deep already and this had barely just begun. I'm starting to get the feeling Joy knew something about me that I didn't, that I want Jerome.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed it and I would love to know what you think :) One quick question, does anyone want to see Jerome's POV? Or should I stick to Patricia's POV?
