Put my Heart on Your Sleeve and Wear it All Over Town

When I texted Sydney to tell her about the party I asked her to bring me a clean shirt.

"Don't you need, like, clean underwear or something?Aren't girls like crazy uptight like that?"

Eric asked.

"Don't need em. I don't wear underwear." I said as serious as I could. I was so close to

busting out laughing that it hurt my stomach to hold it in.

"Er. Okay. I'm going to go get some stuff to eat. People are gonna be here soon so make

sure you let them in."

"1. I was kidding about the whole underwear thing. 2. No. I'm going to lock them out and

keep all the alcohol to myself." I stated, but it was dripping with sarcasm.

"Don't worry, I'll let em in. Now go we need the stuff and you're wasting time." John told him.

Within the next half hour everyone was here, even a few other girls. Everyone was busy

doing something whether it was beer bong, eating, talking or straight up making out. I hung

out with John the whole time.

"Alright everyone! Gather round!" Peter yelled from the center of the living room. If he was

going to do a strip tease again I very well might puke. "We're going to play a lovely game of

Truth or Dare." Uh oh, this can not be good.

"Are you going to do this?" John asked while he was eyeing me. My face must be giving me away.

"Do we have a choice? They'll more than likely come to find us if we hide."

"That's true. Come on, let's get this over with." We walked over and sat on pillows that were

placed next to each other. I glanced at Sydney and she smiled. She was, yet again, sitting

on Kennedy's lap.

"Okay. Gaby, you first." Of course, curse my neon shirt. He picked me cause that was the

only thing his intoxicated eyes could focus on. "Truth or Dare?"

"Uh. I don't know..." I responded nervously. Everyone starting shouting something

"Oh come on just pick one!"

"Pick dare! Pick dare!"

"Be safe! Pick truth!"

"I guess I'll pick dare." I regretted it the second it came out of my mouth.

"Yes! Good choice. So here's your dare. I dare you to- make out with..." Oh my God please don't say Trevor or Aaron. That'd be a sick joke. "... John!"

My breath caught in my throat, "John who?!" I already knew the answer.

"O'Callaghan. Who else?"

"Uh, I pass."

"What's wrong with kissing me? I'll use mints." John teased but I could see the nervousness in eyes.

"No no. That's not it. It'd just be weird. I mean I've known you forever and-"

"Will you just shut up and kiss him? It's just a game!" Peter exclaimed.

"Okay okay. Damn you're pushy."

I turned to the side to face John, he was smiling at me that heart stopping smile. My

stomach was in knots, my heart was pounding, I could feel the blood pulsing in my ears. I

took a drink of my Coke and Jack Daniels and put it back down, then looked at John again.

He leaned in towards me and I closed the gap. Finally making our lips meet. His hand was

suddenly on the back of my neck pulling me closer to him. I mimicked him, and tangled my

fingers in his hair. Our lips moved in sync while everyone was cheering us on. His tongue

slid across my lower lip. when someone wolf whistled I pulled away laughing. I opened my

eyes to see his expression frozen and his eyes still closed. I decided to do something quick.

"Okay! Who wants to go next?" I yelled. "Truth or Dare?!"

I could still taste his kiss on my lips so I hurried. I got the game restarted, took John's hand in

mine and lead him into a room more... private.
