The Trap of Love | GxG

7 - obvious flirt

- Madison -

I squeezed the bag even harder but the icing was still coming out as slow as before so i threw a glance towards Alina's cookies, half of them already decorated.

"How the hell are you going so fast?!" I exclaimed and she looked my way, her lips forming a smile from seeing my poor job. "Madison, what the hell? Sure we're competing against time but also quality. Hailey isn't gonna be happy from how they look!" I heard her laugh out.

"Shush! For that you should get a penalty! 10 seconds. So step back!" I pulled my tray closer to hers and pushed her back, taking advantage of the time.

"You're competitive." Alina spoke out next to me but already was about to begin the decorating again. "No! Wait! 10 seconds isn't over yet!" I intervened between her and the tray of cookies. "Madi, you can't do that!"

"Yes i can!" I continued to lay the icing on mine. "Madi, the penalty is over! Stop playing unfair!" I felt as she literally pushing me aside and i gave in this time yet my hand went over to her side, delivering a quick grab that had her flinch.

"Madi, quit! Just accept that you'll be a sore loser."

"Oh hell no! Just because i lost at the pool game doesn't give you any reason to think i'll lose this time!"

"Just admit it that you're bad at everything. It's obvious." Alina said and i pulled my attention off the counter. "Say that again. I dare you to call me a loser one more time!"

"You know what, i don't think i will. God knows what you'll do to mess up my art work here." I watched her focus back down but i grabbed the tray, placing it on the other side and away from her.

"Oh my god! Are you seriously that terrified to go up to a stranger and flirt with them as the punishment?" She laughed out, clearly giving up on fighting back my constant nudging. "I'm not about to flirt with anyone so let me win!" I mumbled back and moved on to my last cookie but the sudden approach of her had the icing drop from my hand, Alina whipping me around in a split second.

"The whole day you've done nothing but flirt so why are you so scared about doing it to someone else?" She questioned but all i could think of was how close she was and the fact that i was practically trapped between her and the counter.

"I haven't been flirting with you. I don't know where you're getting that from." I responded and licked off the excess icing that spread my fingertips. "Right! Yeah! And it's not you that has been distracting me nonstop just to win this fun challenge?"

"Yeah. That's not me. You've honestly got a wild imagination. I don't even know anyone that is so determined that they'd be using their charm to win." I calmly told.

"Well then this someone who's doing it should feel proud because it's draining every last bit out of me."

"Really? I thought it's impossible for a strong woman, whose own charm isn't possible to compete with, to be amazed by another person's beauty." I continued, even knowing it myself that i'm trying to flirt.

"Exactly! That's what you're putting me through every time i see you and i don't understand what the fuck you've done to me."

"I guess i'm not as soft and weak i've always made myself look." I uttered back and i think my own words had me shocked as i literally grew nervous, my body doing exactly the opposite of what i just described myself as.

"I don't understand what games you're playing but i swear to god, if you're doing this for fun then believe me or not, i can also be mean." I felt as her hands ever so slightly caressed my waist yet i kept my cool.

"Anyways. I think Hailey is waiting for those cookies to be done so we should finish and finally bring them to the happy couple." I said and turned around, grabbing the icing to decorate the last one.

"Well you won too so i'll have to do the dare. Even though you cheated so damn hard! But it's okay! I'll accept the loser title." Alina grabbed her tray back whilst speaking.

"I didn't cheat! We made no rules!"

"God, Madi, shut up! Making me look dumb here. At least mine look more prettier." I heard her announce. "No they don't! You mixed blue with pink even though we are making these for the sake of them finding out it's a girl."

"I wanted more colors! It's also stupid to pick a specific color for a gender. All that matters is that mine are better looking. So i don't know what fucking mess you made on yours." She specifically pointed her finger in front of them, having me smack her hand away before she decides to ruin something.

"God damn! Stop abusing me! I already lost." The woman exclaimed and i couldn't hold back the laugh. "Laughing at me too. You're one cold ass- person!"

"Huh? Wait, wait. What were you gonna call me?" I pushed the finished tray aside, giving her my full attention. "Nothing! I said person. What are you on about?" Alina gave me a smile, clearly spiking my annoyance on purpose. "You paused before that word so don't try to lie to me! Were you gonna call me a bitch? Say it then." I approached her side, ready for her to do it.

"I'm a gentlewoman. I don't use those insults." I absorbed her finish her own decorating, turning her body to face mine right after. "I could never call you a gentlewoman. You do nothing but offend me."

"Excuse you! You're constantly bugging me! Trying to piss me off in every way."

"Never have done that." I purposely continued to rise the raged pressure in her but as those words left my mouth, she pulled me right against her. "Say that again. I dare you to lie to my fucking face one more time." I watched her glance between my eyes and lips and i swear i couldn't think of anything else but just doing it.

But why was it so hard to admit that i wanted it because i had to? Right now i feel like i want it because she does. But that's so dumb. Why am i thinking of it in that way? This is all a scam. I fucking know that this will end at some point but then why am i almost desperate for her to just pull me in?

"What's going through your mind?" Alina asked and i darted my eyes up to hers. "You." I faintly responded, not even caring to lie about this. "What about me? Contemplating whether your flirting has gone too far?"

"Questioning whether i did enough to make you get the hint." I continued with my low tone and her hand didn't hesitate to slip right on my cheek, pulling me in.
