Truth or Dare

After Alice had a quick bathroom break, we sat opposite each other cross-legged on the beach "Okay, you go first, Truth or Dare?" Alice asked me.

"Hey, why do I get asked first? The game was your idea," I argued.

"Because it was your idea to play a game in the first place, and then you made me choose the game, so you get asked first. Now Truth or Dare?" She repeated firmly.

"Truth I guess," I sighed, I wasn't going to make an argument about it since I'd have to choose at some point anyway.

Alice smiled, "While you've been away, studying have you been with anyone, like a relationship or anything?"

I hesitated for a moment, "I..." blush crossed my face, "Kinda, I went one a few dates with one person."

Alice's face dropped a little but then she lit up again, "Who? What was she like?"

"Ah, ah, ah, nope, not how the game works, you asked your question now time to choose, truth or dare?" I countered.

Alice groaned and pouted, "Fine... I'll go truth."

I thought for a moment, "I'm gonna copy your question, have you met anyone or Been on any dates?"

Alice turned red and looked away from me, "N-no, you know it's hard for me..."

"You're going to have to try getting yourself out there eventually, and you know that if you like girls that's alright don't you? In fact, guys are the worst and you should definitely find a cute girl for yourself," I laughed.

Alice laughed too, "I don't like girls! It's just not easy... Anyway, truth or dare?" Once she asked, I could only just hear her muttering under her breath, "Pick truth, pick truth, pick truth, pick truth, pick truth."

"Well, it sounds like you have something you want to ask so I'll go with truth," I smiled, looking at Alice.

"Yay, okay, who was it, what did you do?" Alice asked curiously. She shuffled a little closer to me as she intently stared waiting for my reply.

I sighed,"... It was Becca, and nothing happened, we went on a couple dates, but it never felt like she was actually interested in me, she'd just ask me a bunch of questions and then would dodge questions I'd ask her."

"Wait, what? That's not cool! She didn't even ask me if I was okay with that!" Alice fumed, "And you!" She got up in my face, "How could you go on a date with my best friend? And both of you kept it from me! That's so not cool, two of the most important people in my life were going behind my back."

Alice was super pissed, and I wasn't really sure what to say but I had to say something, "Alice listen, it was only a couple dates, and I'd have obviously talked to you about it if anything happened but like I said nothing happened and it mostly felt like she was leading me on."

"What? So you weren't good enough for her then? Who the fuck does she think she is?" Alice fumed.

"Hey, calm down. Come on it was only a couple dates and we obviously didn't match up so let's continue on with the game." I said in a softer voice, then I smiled "I should be able to ask you two things though since you basically tricked me into answering an extra question."

Alice huffed then closed her eyes before taking several deep breaths, "Fine, but when we get rescued I'm going to be having some serious words with her. Also fat chance, you gave that info up on your own," she smirked at me, "Give me a dare."

"Fine, but I'm going to make it a mean one," I said flashing her an evil grin.

"Do your worst," she goaded me.

I took a moment to think, then thought of something great, "How about you go take a quick swim to cool off, you have to get at least as deep as your chest and you have to go completely under for at least a second."

"So much for doing you're worst, be back in a flash," Alice said before jumping up and running to the shore. I was about to yell to her to take off her top and sarong but before I could say a word she was already in the water and wading out, I slowly walked towards the shore too to make sure I had an eye on her, she got to about stomach high water then dived in.

A second passed, then another, then five, "Alice?" There was no response "ALICE!" I yelled, I was about to go running into the water but she surfaced and began wading back, my panic did not go away quickly, I internally berated myself for how stupid I was, not only could the tide have swept her out but I couldn't see anything since the only light we had was from the fire and the moonlight.

She came walking towards me shivering, and I quickly wrapped my arms around her, "That was so fucking stupid, no more sea dares, I'm not losing you to a riptide or something."

She continued to shiver and wrapped her arms around me, "Alright, but it was your dare," she mumbled.

"Yeah and I was a fucking idiot for suggesting it, come on let's get you to the fire," I said, I continued to hug her as we walked towards the fire. She sat down close to the warmth, and I sat next to her when I realised something, "Uhm, Ashley," I pointed at her while looking away blushing heavily, "You, your top, it's turned see-through, and you forgot your bikini top."

"Oh, come on, you've seen me completely naked, stop getting bashful every time you see me. It's your turn anyway so truth or dare," she asked, brushing off any comments or complaints I had.

I sighed and continued looking away, "Dare... I guess."

She hummed as she thought, "Ah I have it, close your eyes," She said.

I did as she told me, closing my eyes I could still see the flickering of fire through my eyelids. I could hear the waves from the ocean as well as the crackling of dry wood, not to mention the mixture of strange bug, bird and possibly animal noises from farther in the island.

"Okay, now to the dare. Just let me guide you and when I say stop is the end of the dare," Alice said.

"Uh... okay?" I guessed. I could hear a little movement then felt her hand grab mine. We stood and walked a little before my hand touched something strange, it was squishy cold and very smooth, "What is that?"

Alice shushed me and continued to guide my hand, "Guess."

I couldn't tell it was kind of like a water balloon? or something, "Uh... some kind of fruit?" I guessed.

"Nope," she quickly said.

"Is it the shower pouch?" I asked.

She laughed, and I felt the object moving, which is when my eyes shot open. In front of me was Alice, she was topless with my hand right on her boob. Her eyes were closed and now that I could see what was happening I could hear her breathing hitching.

"What the fuck!" I said as I pulled my hand away, "Alice what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? What is wrong with you? You keep freaking out about these small things. It's like you think that everything is going to get us into trouble or that we are going to suddenly get smited by some god or something.

"We are alone on an island in the middle of nowhere. Our privacy is restricted here and you keep freaking out about everything. It's getting ridiculous. You keep saying things like this isn't normal but guess what, we are stuck on a fucking island in the middle of nowhere, nothing is normal about this and you freaking out isn't helping.

"You are acting like nothing's happened, we masturbated while watching each other, we've slept naked together and those times you didn't freak out but then you just keep exploding all of a sudden. Is it because sometimes you are getting **** enough that I'm fair game? I seriously don't know with you. You know what. I need to go for a walk," She lectured.

I was standing completely shocked and stunned as she barged past me.
