Olivia POV:

Once we've said hello to about 20 people, we finally get a chance to sit down. In the group around us, it's Jeremiah, his girlfriend, 4 girls, Liam dude, and about 5 other guys.

"Are y'all playing?" Jeremiah says, pointing down at the bottle.

He looks over at me and laughs, then begins to nod.

"Yeah man, sure." he says, as we sit down to join the circle.

"Well, we have all done a round so you two should start off this one."

We both nod and some guy points towards Conrad and asks him, and he chooses truth.

"Who is the last person you messaged?" he says.

Conrad chuckles and starts to look through his phone.

"Uhmm, that will have to be, my doordash guy." he says, while pointing the phone towards the group and showing us his burger king order.

"Boring! Boringggg," the guys start to holler while Conrad laughs.

"Alright alright. Truth or Dare, Olivia." Jeremiah says, and now everyone is looking at me.

"Uh, I guess dare." I say but then immediately regretting it once I say it.

"Okayyy," Jeremiah hollers. Then he points towards his brother.

"Kiss my brother," he says, and everyone starts hollering and laughing.

I can feel my heart pounding fast as I glance over at Conrad. He looks just as nervous as I do.

Do I just say no? Do I just say I need to go to the bathroom? Or maybe I can say I ate something bad and my breath..no.

Or maybe I can make it look like we kissed by covering both sides.

Yes.

I lean over towards Conrad and so does he towards me. I place both of my hands on either side of our face, but keeping a distance so our lips don't actually touch.

People start whistling next to us, and before I know it his lips are touching mine. Kissing me softly, while slowly sliding his hand into my hair. I am feeling everything I felt when he held my hand, but even more now. As he softly plays with my hair and strokes my face with his thumb. I can feel him pull away for a second, but then go right back in, kissing me harder this time. I can feel the tingles going down my spine and a flush start to form on my face. But truly, all I can feel at this time is his soft lips on mine and how he moves his lips across mine. How he gently places his hand on my necks and strokes it softly.

And then, he starts to pull away.

When I look at him, he has a grin plastered on his face and he starts to talk. But my mind can't even process it since all I can see is the kiss, playing over and over again in my head.

"Earth to Olivia," I hear Conrad say. I snap out of it and look around the room. Everyone has already gotten up and gone to some other place. Now it's only Conrad and I on the ground.

"Hm," I say, trying to stay in this world and not the one in my head replaying over and over again.

"I said are you alright?" he asks.

I nod and he laughs.

"It's just. I, well I wasn't expecting- and you went in and."

"Oh." he says

"I thought you were leaning in to kiss...me?"

"Yeah yeah but I was going to..pretend." I say.

"Oh shit." he says, looking away awkwardly.

"Sorry. Really, my bad." he says. I start to laugh at him and he looks at me, and then starts to chuckle too.

"Well, did I do..."

"Did you do alright?" he says, while grinning. I nod, embarrassed I even asked the question.

" Yeah, I mean..." he says while getting up off the ground.

"I wouldn't mind doing it again," he says with a stupidly hot grin.

And that's the moment I knew I was fucked.
