“We’re supposed to be having some fun, right? Recreating the whole slumber party feel. Who doesn’t play truth or dare at a slumber party?”
“Wait,” Skylar said. “Shall we get into our pajamas? That’s what a slumber party is all about.”
“Let’s get changed,” Paul said.
She jumped up, and promised to be back within minutes.
“Do you own pajamas?” Leo asked.
“No, not a chance. I’ve got some sweatpants. They will have to do, like they did last night.”
Paul left the room, and Leo rushed toward his bathroom, removing his clothes, and staring at his naked chest. He pulled up a pair of old sweatpants, and wondered if he should bother with a shirt. If he went without one, would he make her nervous? It was quite warm, and he wanted her to look at him. Damn it, he was overthinking everything right now, and it was driving him crazy.
Leaving the bedroom, he sat down on the floor as Paul and Skylar arrived. Paul wasn’t wearing a shirt either, and Skylar was in pajamas, this time a plain pastel pink color that really brought out the depth of color in her hair and the blue in her eyes.
“So truth or dare,” she said, taking a seat.
“No, we’ve played this before. You will go first. Truth or dare, Skykar?”
She pressed a finger to her lip, tilted her head and smiled. “Truth.”
“Have you ever been in love?” Paul asked.
“No. I’ve never been in love. That’s easy.”
“How about we all have to answer?” Leo asked. “It stops us being a bit boring. Truths all have to be answered, dares are singular.”
“I’m okay with that,” Skylar said. “Your turn.”
“I’ve never been in love,” Leo said.
“Me neither. Lust I have. I’ve been in a lot of lust,” Paul said.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been in lust either. Yeah, I’m a bit of a bore,” Skylar said.
“You never know what the future holds, babe. You could be in lust before you know it.” Leo winked at her.
She smiled, her cheeks going bright red. “You never know.” She didn’t back down nor stop. At least she wasn’t running away.
He was happy about that.
“Okay, my turn,” Leo said. “Paul, truth or dare?”
“Dare.”
“I dare you to go and steal James’s phone.”
“Are you for real?”
“Totally real. We’ll give it back to him.”
Paul rolled his eyes. “You’re deadly, I’ll be right back.”
Leo was laughing as Paul left. Skylar was doing the same as well. “He’s not going to get hurt, is he?”
“I don’t know. We’ll see. If he comes back with a black eye, he got hurt, and my bad.”
“You are bad and so mean.” Skylar gave him a playful shove.
