Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste

Chapter 13

I look around, noticing the astonishment on everyone’s  face. Their mouths were almost dropped to the floor in  shock. I nibble on my lip and turn to stare at Ryan,  whose eyes were wider than usual.

“Holy shit! That was hot!” He shouts breaking the  uncomfortable silence. There were murmurs of  agreements from the others which made me feel even  more uncomfortable with the attention.

My eyes snapped to stare at Stacy. I gulp seeing her face  scream murder. I should feel happy right now, ecstatic  that I finally had my first kiss with Blake. But I couldn’t  help but feel guilty. Why you may ask. Well it’s the  blonde girl currently beyond furious.

“In fact it was more than two minutes. ” She spits.

Blake seemed to come back down to reality. His eyes  move away from me to stare at his girlfriend. He gets up  and faces her, his stance stiff as a board. “It was just a  dare Stacy get over it.”

My heart squeezes in my chest. Ouch it was just a dare.  It actually was a dare. So why do I feel that it was so  much more? I felt it in the way he kissed me.

“Then why were you making out with her for more than  two damn minutes? I tried to get your attention but you  were too busy sucking her face to realise that the two  minutes were up.” Her words are lethal, meant to hurt.

Her eyes then narrow. “Do you have feelings for her?”  Her face has a nasty scowl as she points at me.

Blake drags a hand down his face in frustration. “I can’t  do this right now.”

She looks ready to argue but the guy from earlier cuts  her off. “Well this has been fun.” He says standing up and  clapping his hands. “But now that things are heating up I  think we should end the game here.”

Couldn’t he end the game before Ryan made that stupid  dare? That would’ve saved us all that drama we are now  facing.
