“I’m serious.”
“He has never asked me to be his girlfriend.”
Every single one of them starts to say something. Scott’s telling us how that’s bullshit. Rocky doesn’t believe it. Madeline asks how that can be. Marina’s yelling that I literally made her think I had nothing going on with Dylan, so she foolishly asked him out. Westley’s talking makes me laugh. He’s telling us to stop lying to ourselves and admit it already.
“I choose dare,” I call out, trying to get everyone to calm down.
Scott barks, “I dare you to ask him to be your boyfriend.”
I turn to Dylan and laugh. I kiss him instead, using tongue and all. They start whistling and asking us when we’re going to get married. I only stop because Dylan and I won’t stop laughing at all the accusations. Then Dylan pulls me onto his lap.
I settle in, and his arms wrap around my waist. I feel his breath on my neck.
They’ve moved on to the next truth or dare, so I lean against his shoulder.
"Are you happy?" he whispers.
I smile, witnessing our friend’s faces before us. The way they’re arguing and carefree, having a good time together. This is all I could ever dream of. All I wanted was friends like this, people to hang out with and have endless laughter with. What I didn’t expect was to find a love like Dylan’s. He’s gentle and kind and sweet.
I kiss his lips.
“Very.”
He hugs me tightly as I whisper, “I’ve never been happier.”
Dylan
Having Ce on my lap is driving me insane. Every time she shifts, I feel her ass press against me, and it's taking everything in me not to drag her out of here right now.
It's Cecily's turn again.
"Truth or dare?" I ask.
She looks back at me. "Dare."
Everyone’s waiting to see what I say, but I lean in close so only she can hear. "I dare you to move in with me."
She leans forward, looking at me. “Are you serious?”
Marina says, “What did he say?”
Cecily looks at her in shock, and then she turns to me. "That's not a real dare."
“I already talked to the guys.”
She looks at Scott and Westley. They nod at her.
“So, will you move with me?” I ask.
Marina squeals. “Are you serious!”
Madeline covers her mouth while Rose’s eyes widen.
Cecily nods. “Yes.” She kisses me. “Of course.”
The game continues, but I'm barely paying attention. All I can think about is getting her alone.
Eventually, people start leaving. Marina hugs Cecily goodbye and whispers something in her ear that makes Ce laugh.
