-TRUTH OR DARE-

Thorn's POV

The day passed by like a lightning. She's here and I'm grateful that Bruce and the others approved my idea of having a little vacation here. Yeah, it's my idea. I've been longing to hear her voice again, to feel her against me. To have her.

"Guys!!" Kyle claps his hands like a sea lion, getting our attention. We're currently sitting at a big trunk of tree, laid on the ground as the fire sits in front of us. We're sitting circularly, trapping the fire in between. He spoked, "So since we're here and Bruce will gonna get married in just a few months. Let's get fucking wasted!!" Damn, I knew it. This guy never fails to bring beers with him.

Handing each one of us a bottle of beer. He took his seat again. Boys have beers and root beers for the girls. "Are we just gonna drink then?" I smirked, taking a large gulp of my beer as the bitter taste invades my throat, down to my stomach.

"Yeah, for now." Kyle wiggled his eyebrow as I shake my head, laughing then my eyes fell on her. Francine. She's examining the bottle of her root beer as she simply took it close to her nose, sniffing it. She's such a cutie. She never drank beer before I know.

I look around and everyone's busy about their own stuffs. Sofia is sitting on Bruce's lap, her arms encircled around his neck while their giggling and chatting. Chase is busy with his phone, probably playing some games with his beer on his hand, untouched. Kyle is munching cheese flavoured chips with his beer. Damn, this guy's taste buds are hell.

"I want yours." Samantha on my side, forcefully took the bottle in my hand as she chug it down her throat. This girl feels close and so touchy to me like damn!? I've only picked her up by the side way and now she feels like she's one of the group. Tsk, no fucking way I'll let a girl like her here but, I still need her to make Francine jealous and realized what she feels. She looks cute a while ago. Her cheeks are red as I teased her and she's denying it like a child. She's just so beautiful and irresistible.

I let Samantha took my drink as I stood up, walking on Francines direction, not minding that Grayshit is sitting beside her.

I could here Samanthas protesting voice but I don't care. I don't like her anyways.

Reaching for the bottle of her almost half done root beer, I snatched it out of her hand and before she could react. I already gulped it down, tasting her cherry lips with it as I kept on drinking it all the way in until it's empty. "Hey! What's your problem!? That's mine." She stood up, arms on her hips looking like a boss. I smirked.

"Bro.. it's hers, why did you took it?" Grayson stood up too, sounding calm. I scoffed at him and ignored him. I don't care about him. I only care about the most beautiful woman in front of me right now.

My eyes not leaving her, my lips tugged upward on the side creating a perfect smirk as I shrugged my shoulders. "Sama-- I mean my girlfriend took mine. That's why, I took another one." I replied, feeling confident at all.

"Why don't you just took one there!?" Her index finger is pointing to the box of beers filled with ice around it then she looked at me again questioningly. "I'm lazy." I simply said as I placed the empty bottle on the ground. I already grabbed everyone's attention, well.. we already grabbed everyone's attention.

"Damn Thorn, don't start." Kyle slurs as I looked at him with a bored face then turned to Francine again. She's fuming in anger.

"Bro, can you just leave us now? You already got your beer." Grayshit meddled as I looked at him, throwing daggers on him from my eyes. Who the fuck do he think he is?

"Leave us?" I let out a mocking laugh as I shake my head unbelievably. "Why don't you leave by yourself? You're not invited here to begin with." His jaw clenched at I looked at him straight in the eye. I won't back the fucking away from this asshole. If he wants fight then I can give it to him.

"Thorn." Chase warned but I just ignored him. I'm up for fight any time. Damn, I've been itching to punch and kill this stealer.

Feeling a soft warm hand that's landed on my chest, my body moved away from their direction. Francine pushed me away. "Can't we just enjoy this night without fighting!?" She asked, pleadingly. Her eyes are glistening in tears. Fuck, she'll gonna cry and I can't bear seeing her cry. Damn, those eyes are making me soft.

Samanthas arm are snaked around my arm as she scoffed at her. "It's your boyfriend's fault. Not mine. You two are overreacting in such a little things." Even though I'm glad she's on my side. I felt irritated by her tone towards Francine. How could she?

Francine didn't speak. Shit, why can't she fight back?

Removing the fucking arm on mine, I looked at Francines eyes before speaking in a deep warning tone. "Samantha. That's enough." The poor girl beside me quivers as I saw how Francine's body shakes. Grayson gave me one last glare which I give it back by a more intensed one before going back to our seat.

Samanthas hand fell down my thigh but I swatted it away from me earning a shock expression from her but I just shrugged it off. I don't fucking want to talk to anyone right now. I'm so pissed off.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

"Guys guys!! *hics* attention!!" Kyle shouted. Almost all of us are already wasted. Samantha on my side is already sleeping while Sofia is leaning on Bruce's chest, sleepy too. Francines head is resting on Gray's shoulder as he continues to chug his beer. He's wasted too I know. Bruce, Kyle and Chase are far more worse. Am I the only one who's not drunk yet? Maybe yes.

"What again?!" Bruce shouts back while playing Sofia's hair with his fingers. Chase just watched while moving his bottle of beer in his hand circularly as if he's stirring it. My eyes fell on the empty bottles at the ground near Francine. She already drank 4 bottles? No wonder she's wasted now while Grayson is in his seventh. The asshole is drinking with his anger towards me.

"Let's play!! *Hics* uh..." Kyle put his fingers on his chin as he looked up, thinking then smiled widely at us. Okay, now that's creepy. He shouted again causing everyone to wake up and focus on him. "Let's play truth or dare."

"Kyle, that's childish." I protested but too late, everyone is cheering at the game and there's an empty bottle, laid down on the ground already. Damn. "We should play all. No exceptions." He squinted his eyes on me before smirking at me evilly. He's plotting something, I just hope it's good.

"I'll spin!!!" Francine exclaimed while grinning ear to ear. She's really drunk now, her cheeks are all flushed and so red and her eyes are half hooded plus her body is already swaying uncontrollably. She's fucking drunk but, she looks sexier than ever, especially with her red laced two piece. Doesn't she feel cold?

Watching her every move. She already spun the bottle as everyone waited for it to stop. Are they holding they're breath? Man, this game bores me.

"Thorn.." her angelic voice caress my ears as I looked at her then realized that the bottle stopped in front of me. What a great game hmmm? Fuck. "Truth or dare?" She asked, challenging me. Everyone is waiting for my answer. Damn, why did even Kyle recommend this game!

"Dare."I muttered bravely without breaking our eye contact. Come on, dare me anything princess.

What she said next surprised me. "Sing for..us." her voice is as soft as feather as her luscious lips curved into a sweet smile. I'm really fucked up and the reason is her.

Everyone nods their head urging me to sing. "What's the punishment?" I asked and everyone made the 'awww' disappointed sound. "You have to drink two bottles of beer, straight. That's the punishment" Chase smiked at me. What the hell?!

"Please.." she spoke again in a tiny voice. I sighed in defeat as I looked at her.

I began, "An empty street, an empty house, a hole inside my heart. I'm all alone the rooms are getting smaller.." her eyes are focused on me as I sing the song.
The song for her and only her.
"I wonder how, I wonder why ..I wonder where they are. The days we had the songs we sang together..oh yeah~ and all my life, I'm holding on forever, reaching for the love that seems so far~" she closed her eyes as if she's memorizing my voice and savoring the melody in her ears. I continued, "So I say a little prayer and hope my dreams will take me there, where the skies are blue to see you once again~ my love. Over seas from coast to coast, to find the place I love the most where the fields are green to see you once again, .....my love~" I stopped as my surroundings grew silent but I don't care, the only thing that's running in my mind right now is her. Open your eyes baby and tell me you love my song and the one who sang it right now.

"Fuck couz, you're a singer." Chase voice rangs in the air as he complimented me but my eyes are still on her. Come one Francine, open your eyes.

My heart skipped a beat as her eyes slowly opened, revealing her green bright orbs as her plump lips creates the sweetest smile that I've never seen before. She mumbled underneath her breath, almost like an angel whispers. Her lips move as she spoke, "Your voice sounds so great Thorn. I loved it." Love me too, please.. but to my disappointment, she turned her head away from me.

"Who's next?" She asked.

And the game goes on and on and on, asking each other some normal things and daring each other silly things. It was quite fun to be honest, not until the bottle stopped in front of me again.

Kyle is the one who's gonna asked me. "Truth or dare my dear Thorn?" His face wears an evil smirked as I sighed. What to do? Fuck it.

"Dare, Kyle." He chuckled but then tilted his head side ways before speaking.

"Kiss the most beautiful girl you know here. Except Sofia of course, Bruce will gonna kill me." Although he's not pertaining to her. My mind already showed her vision. Francine's the most beautiful girl here right now or even the most beautiful girl in the world.

I simply took a glance at her. Eyes are closed, and red lips are parted. She's asleep on that guy's shoulder. That should be me but fuck it, why can't she realized her feelings towards me too? I know she's already having feelings towards me but she's concealing it as if it's a fucking poison that will kill everyone.

Everyone is already passed out. Me, Kyle and Samantha are the only one who's awake.

Instead of heading towards her, I choose the path to the beer then opened two as I drank them all up, straightly and bottoms up.

"Damn, can't believe you find this girls not beautiful." He points Francine and Samantha as I smirked at him, nodding my head. Now, is not the time.

Samantha pouted but I didn't gave a fuck.

It's already passed midnight but I can't sleep. The girl beside me is though, she's knocked out. Imagine drinking 11 bottles of beers just because you don't want to say the truth and do the dare? Damn, you'll be knocked out as fuck. I won't be surprised is she won't wake up early tomorrow. I don't care anyways.

Deciding to go outside, I grabbed my blue shirt then slipped it in my body as I went out, barefooted. I'm going to the seashore. I need air.

While walking towards the sea, I spotted a dark figure that's sitting on the sand. Her hair is flowing like a river along with the air as she sat there like the goddess of the sea waiting for someone to love her. She's really beautiful and I won't gonna get tired saying this all over and over again because it's the truth. Francine is really a beautiful lady.

The sound of the waves whispered in my ears as the cold breeze of air caress my skin. I sat down beside her as she jumped, but I caught her hands before she could stand up. "Hey, it's me. Don't worry." She squinted her eyes at me and heaves a relieved sigh. She sat down again after she recognized me.

"What are you doing here?" She asked while her eyes are looking at the water waves. She seems a bit sober now.

"Just needing some air to fill my lungs." I bent my knees a bit upward in front of me to rest my elbows on them as I looked at her. "How about you? What are you doing here so late at night? Aren't you scared?" I asked, turning towards her to have a better look at the beautiful sight in front of my eyes.

Hanging her head low, she giggled then looked up again, meeting and catching my eyes with her green ones. "The feelings that I feel and the things that's happening around me is already enough to scare me." She uttered using her soft angelic voice. Something is hidden in them. Pain? Sadness? Love? I don't know ...and I want to know.

Scooting closer to her, I held her right cheek with my hand as I caressed it gently. "Don't be scared. I'm here." I assured her as I smiled. She smiled back at me, reaching my hand on her cheek then she holds onto it as she closed her eyes, purring softly.

God, I really love this woman.

"You know.." I started making her eyes open as they stared at me, waiting for my continuation. "Kyle dared me to kiss the most beautiful girl that I know here." She giggled. I knew it, she's not fully asleep a while ago.

"But you don't, instead you drunk those two bottles of be--" and before she could finished her sentence, I grabbed the back of her neck, crushing my lips on her soft ones as I kissed her deeply yet passionately. She taste like sweet root beer but the natural taste didn't disappeared, it's the vanilla and cherry taste that's making me crazy. I didn't moved and she didn't too, we just stayed there with our eyes closed, savoring the moment and our lips are molded with each other. I slowly broke the kiss without moving away from her.

She opened her eyes, looking straight at me. I smiled at her, bringing my other hand onto her cheek, cupping her both cheeks with my hands as I opens my lips to speak, "I didn't, because the most beautiful girl I know here is sleeping at that time or so that's what I thought." Her cheeks turned red as I pulled her head again, kissing her lips gently as if I'm scared that I might cause pain to her nor scratched her beautiful lips.

To my surprised, her arms wrapped around my nape, pulling my head closer to her as I deepened the kiss even more while she's kissing me back. We fought for dominance and I won. "Mhmm--T-thorn..I can't.." she pulled away as I hurriedly chased her lips with mine again.

"Don't stop it." I mumbled in between as I kept on kissing her lips, nibbling her bottom lips and earning another moan from her.

"Ugh..--but.. I should.." she spoked but her eyes remained closed and her lips kept on moving with my lips in sync.

Snaking my arm on her tiny waist, I pulled her closer to me, crushing her body to mine as we kept on kissing. "You shouldn't have to." Her hand runs up my head as she grasped a fistful of my hair, pulling me more as I bite her lower lip causing her to gasped and I took that opportunity to slipped my tongue inside her warm sweet mouth and played with her tongue. She moaned sweetly in my ears. "T-thorn...mhnn ugh~"

Slowly breaking the kiss to catch some air, I leaned and rested my forehead on hers as I looked at her eyes while cupping her both cheeks. "I---"

"I have to go." She cuts me before I could speak as she stood up then turned around to walk away but I grabbed her wrist, stopping her. Fuck it, not again.

"Stay." This is the word that I told her three years ago and she didn't obeyed it. So please stay now.

"I can't.." and with that she walked away. My hand is still in the air feeling empty as her wrist left it.

When will you realized that you love me too, Francine? I'm already hurting. Three years is so much for me to endure the pain and longing anymore.

Francine Bellamy... I love you.
