Trust Me

"So, it's my turn!" Trish surmises as Rouge takes her drink. "Who should be my next victim..." She continues evilly, twirling her finger and looking between us, for a moment I think she's going to land on Elise, but immediately shoots her gave back to me. "Scarlet! Truth or dare?"

Which one's which again? My brain isn't fully working yet.

"Erm, truth." I decide aloud, picking up my glass, preparing to take my sip. Nothing I can say would be more embarrassing than my first kiss with my first crush who didn't realise, and wasn't my choice. Thanks again Rouge.

"Ooh, in that case, what's your deepest fantasy?" Trish asks suggestively. You. Elise. Me. Hot tub. Wow, hot tub? Why is this weird multi-girl internal conflict evolving to actual locations? I should've had a wank last night, or this morning, my horny brain is too backed up. I still haven't said anything, have I?

"Erm... I dunno..." I admit, trying to think of anything normal.

"Hold that thought!" Elise pipes up. "We should throw out the pizza boxes before we get too drunk and forget!" She's got a good point, I've only had a couple and I feel woozy.

"Urgh, fine!" Trish concedes "I'll help take them out. You think up a good answer!" She adds, pointing at me with a smile. Why does she want to know so bad? Does she want to make it happen? Shut up horny brain, get back to making up a fake fantasy. I've got bigger things to take care of as Elise and Trish take out the boxes.

"What the fuck was that?" I hiss at Rouge, who's pouring herself a new glass.

"I think it's vodka, but who knows, I don't speak Russian." She responds sarcastically, before putting me out of my misery. "Oh, you mean the dare? Just checking something." So it was a test? Did I pass? How is that important?

"Checking what?" I ask urgently, before a slightly less urgent question appears. "Also, how did you know Elise would want to play a drinking game when you came up with that plan?"

"I'm not psychic, I had a much more elaborate plan, but she made it way easier!" Rouge admits. I'm almost curious what the original plan was.

"So, back to my first question, checking what? You know I'm gay, you know Trish would take any dare, what does it prove?" I demand, almost begging for an explanation.

"I wasn't watching you two, though, you're welcome!" She begins. "I was watching the third, and oh boy did I learn a lot!" Elise? Had we upset her? She seemed okay. Though, I suppose I didn't look for a little bit after the kiss. "Calm down, it wasn't anything obvious, but details, she stopped fidgeting, and didn't look at you once, she did manage to get through half a glass of wine though." Rouge continues, her eyes checking the fullness of Elise's glass. "Hmm... Maybe three quarters, either way, clear cut signs of jealousy. I considered she could be homophobic, but after the beard story, doesn't seem likely."

My sister is an evil genius. Even so, she's just assuming, she could just be uncomfortable watching her friends make out. PDA makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Hell, she could just be uncomfortable that Rouge was staring at her, she could've just had too much to drink. There's no way, it's a misunderstanding. Rouge has had a lot to drink too, she could just be drunk. Apparently my face is equally unconvinced.

"One day you'll learn to trust me..." Rouge sighs. "Look, I'm going to help you, whatever you need, but eventually you're going to have to make the decision. Cold wars can't go on forever." Damn. She's right, as always, I keep going back to treating her like my bratty little sister. That's on me. No more solo runs.

"So... What would you do?" I ask. I'm open to any advice at this point.

"You're asking the girl who tried to bang their ex into staying together?" Rouge chuckles. "There's no good answer, and you don't have to decide right now, but if you do nothing but defend yourself, you'll just push everyone away." She adds. Protect yourself, end up alone? I get the feeling Rouge didn't take that advice when she got it.

"You thought of that answer yet?" Trish asks, re-entering the room and taking her seat, followed closely by Elise, who sits back down next to me. She doesn't look upset, if she is she's hiding it well. I shake my head in response. "Oh well, I'm bored of truth or dare anyway. How about never have I ever?"

"That works!" Responds Rouge, "I could do with drinking more anyway."

"After I fucked up that dare, I'm okay with changing it up." Elise grins, guess we're switching games. Wait, why the grin? "And seeing as you couldn't answer, you get to go first!" Elise may also be an evil genius.

"Fine." I concur. "Never have I ever... Been caught touching myself!" I decide. What can I say? I owe Rouge one, even if we are on the same team. Sure enough, she drinks, but she's not the only one, as Elise takes a swig as well. "No way! Who caught you?" I can't help but ask her.

Elise tries to hide her smile. Somehow that makes it cuter. "Who hasn't at this point?" She answers, forcing a laugh from me and Trish. "Never have I ever... used a sex toy." Apparently Elise's horny brain is making her decisions too. I guess Trish's has for a while now. Rouge, it's impossible to tell.

Unsurprisingly, Trish and Rouge drink.

"Never have I ever..." Trish begins before pausing to think. "Kissed a boy." Everyone but me drinks. I know that making yourself drink is cheating, but I don't think Trish cares at this point. I don't either really. "Wait... Was that your first kiss?" Trish asks me. Wait, she didn't know that? I shrug and nod, leading to a look of horror. "I'm so sorry, I didn't think you were so..." Inexperienced is the word I think she's going for. "Well, you're really good at it, so at least you know that!" Trish stammers. I think the **** is taking effect.

She's clearly just trying to flatter me, but still, I appreciate the effort. "It's cool, it's not something that I worry about." I lie.

"Never have I ever..." Rouge interjects. How much has she drunk at this point? More than the rest of us for sure. "Used the showerhead to get off." Of course I drink, joined by both Trish and Elise. "You are the ones that ruin it for the rest of us." Rouge concludes.

"You've gotta do what you've gotta do!" I tease her. "Never have I ever... Shaved all of my body hair off." Reassuringly, everyone drinks, glad I'm not the only one.

"Never have I ever kissed a girl." Elise says quickly. That felt cold. Even colder as only me and Trish drink.

"Would've thought you'd have given it a go, Rouge?" Trish ponders.

"Sorry to disappoint, but if I want a snog I've got plenty of guys around" Answers Rouge decisively. I guess that's true, not like anyone would dare turn her down. Maybe that's why Gabriel leaving her hurt so much?

"Ooh, porn doesn't count, never have I ever seen another girl's tits!" Trish states enthusiastically. And lying. Everyone but me takes a drink. What? Even Rouge? "How is that possible? Do you blindfold yourself in changing rooms and stuff?" Trish laughs. Oh, she's asking me?

"I er... I guess I don't look?" I react. Shit. It's a 'lady doth protest too much' situation. I've been too obvious by not looking at all. I never imagined anyone questioning it. "I guess I don't want to upset anyone by seeing something."

"Is that why you went to the bathroom before PE?" Elise asks, a look of realisation on her face. I smile and shrug to indicate yes. This draws an "Aww" from Elise as she pats my head. "You're so innocent, it's so cute!" Thanks Elise. Feeling pretty dumb right now.

"No one cares." Trish explains. "You shouldn't stress yourself, you think anyone's worried about it? There's no implication in looking, honestly, I was thinking like skinny dipping or something, seeing stuff in the changing room is so normal it barely counts."

"Ooh!" Exclaims Rouge. "Never have I ever been skinny dipping!" Again, everyone but me drinks. I'm starting to think this is a conspiracy.

"I think I'm done." Announces Elise with a big yawn. I check my phone, it's after midnight. Damn, I'd completely lost track. I'm kinda tired too.

"Same." I state. "What's the plan for sleeping tonight?"

"I'll show you." Elise replies. "Are you two staying up?"

Rouge and Trish nod and pour another drink each. Something tells me that game's going to go on for a while longer. I follow Elise up the stairs and she takes me past her door to one further down the hall. She opens the door and flicks on the light as we enter. The room is grand and ornate, for a guest room it certainly feels opulent.

"This is my parent's room, I'm going to sleep here, that way you can use my room." Elise explains. Makes sense but then why am I here? She could've probably told me that-

"Kiss me."

What? I must have misheard.

"What did you say?" I ask quietly.

"Kiss me." Elise repeats. "You and Trish kissed, I want to see what it's like." She explains, moving closer to me. I get it, she's not jealous of the kiss, she's jealous of being left out. If me and Trish had arm wrestled she'd want a shot at that too. Fine. If that's what she wants, it's not like I could ever say no.

Without a word I lean in a press my lips to hers before pulling away. There. Evened out.

"No." Elise responds, grabbing my hand with her face down. What now? Her eyes flick up to meet mine. "Kiss me like you want me." Not like I have to pretend. I move in closer, meeting her gaze. I feel her arms wrap around my neck as mine fall to her hips. Those big blue eyes closing as her head tilts to one side.

And then my lips meet hers. And there's no shock, just serenity. It's not like before, I don't lose track of where I am, because I would never want to be anywhere else. It's like I know what to do as I pull her closer. As I breathe in her scent. As I taste her lips with the tip of my tongue. I can feel her heart beating as her mouth opens. I know what she's asking. I take the initiative, pushing my tongue forward to hers, but this isn't ballet, there's no ripples, no raindrops. Just joy. Just pleasure. Just tenderness. But I know it can't last forever.

As I pull away I swear I hear a soft whimper. Though, I can't tell which one of us it came from.

"Wow." Elise murmurs. Her fingertips touching her lips "I... That..." She stammers. "You really are very good at that!" She confirms, smiling again. There it is. Back to being friends. I don't know what I expected.

"Well... Goodnight." I say as I turn to the door until I'm yanked back by my hand.

"Wait a second!" Elise orders. Oh God. Are we supposed to say something else? I've never had friends to make out with, I don't know the etiquette.

Elise grabs her T-shirt and pulls it over her head, casting it to the ground.

What?

She stands in front of me, naked from the waist up. her flawless boobs standing to attention in front of her. They're even more stunning than I imagined, juxtaposed against something on her side. A scar. I didn't know she had a scar there. is that why she didn't want to take it off earlier? It wasn't in her pictures. But then, neither were those incredible pink nipples, and those draw my attention before I have time to think about it. Think about it. I'm staring.

I try to turn my head away but Elise places her hand on my face and pulls my gaze back to them. "You gave me one of my firsts, it seems fair I give you one of yours." She is either the girl of my dreams or the best friend I've ever had. Right now she's both.

Before I can react she's grabbed my hands and places them on her breasts. They feel so much like mine and yet so different. So hot. So firm. So smooth. Her nipples are rock hard. is she enjoying this? Or am I just the nearest pair of hands?

"Now I have two of yours!" She jokes. I guess that's my cue. I reluctantly pull my hands away and try not to seem like I'm half way to an orgasm. "Sweet dreams!" She concludes, heading towards the bed, not retrieving her clothing. I head towards the door, when something tweaks inside of me and I look back.

"Hey!" I exclaim, getting her attention, before removing my own T-shirt and facing her. "Now we're even." I've never shown anyone my tits before. Not outside of a doctor's appointment. I'm really hoping they aren't weird or anything at this point. I know they're not, but it's not my opinion I'm worried about.

"Very pretty!" Elise giggles. "We'll have to call it a tie for now." For now. I like that.

I flick the light switch on the way out and head to Elise's room, T-shirt still in my hand. I don't care if anyone sees me. Nothing can bring me down right now.
