We were all sitting in a circle, some of us on chairs, the rest on the floor. It was us four and some girls who I didn't really recognise. I think JJ knew them.
JJ and Harry were sat to my left, one of the girls to my right. Josh was sitting opposite me.
We had to talk loudly over the music. It was still hard to hear one another even though we were upstairs.
"What are we playing then?" JJ asked.
"Truth or dare?" Harry suggested.
"Sounds good to me." I nodded, and so did Josh.
"Alright, I'm gonna spin this bottle. Whoever it lands on goes." JJ said, spinning it. It landed on me. "Alright, truth or dare?"
"I'll take truth." I said.
"Okay, ever had sex in a shower?" He asked.
"No, I haven't yet." I said, shooting Harry a sly look, watching as his face heated up.
I span the bottle, and it landed on Harry.
"Harry, truth or dare?" I asked.
"Truth." He said.
"Okay, biggest turn-on?" I grinned. This was a good opportunity to find out things about him.
"Oh god, can I drink instead?" He grimaced, flushing red.
"No, no. You have to answer. There's no forfeits." JJ laughed.
"Okay, probably breath play?" He admitted, blush deepening.
"Giving or receiving?" I smirked.
"It's not my turn anymore." He scowled, spinning the bottle. It landed on one of the girls. "Talia, truth or dare?"
"Dare." She said confidently.
"I dare you to kiss the most attractive person in the room." He said.
"Shit, that's a good one." JJ grinned.
My heart dropped into my stomach when she came over to me. I felt her lips on mine, I kissed back for barely two seconds before pulling away.
I could see Harry and Josh trying not to laugh. I guess him and Josh were the only ones who knew I was gay.
Talia span the bottle, and it landed on Josh.
"Truth or dare?" She asked.
"Truth." He said.
"What's your type?" She grinned.
"Blonds." He said, his eyes falling on me. I felt my cheeks heat up. Josh span the bottle, and it landed on me again. "Simon, truth or dare?"
"Truth." I said.
"You just gonna do truths all night?" He raised one eyebrow.
"Yeah, I am. So make it a good one." I laughed.
"Alright, I'll ask the same one you asked Harry, biggest turn on?" He grinned.
"Fuck, I do not want to answer that." I groaned, flushing red. "Being tied up."
Josh had an unreadable look in his eyes as I stared back into them. I broke the eye contact and span the bottle again. It landed on JJ this time.
"JJ, truth or dare?" I asked him.
"Dare." He said.
"Spin the bottle, kiss whoever it lands on." I said.
He span it and groaned as it landed on Harry.
"Can I spin it again? I'm straight." He scowled. I shook my head.
Harry looked at me, laughing as JJ kissed him. It lasted not even a second before JJ sat back down, complaining.
He span the bottle, and it landed on Josh.
"Josh, truth or dare?" He asked.
"Dare."
"Alright, same dare as I had." He said.
"Should we not just be playing spin the bottle at this point?" Josh laughed, spinning it.
It landed on me, and I felt my heart stop. I looked back up at Josh as he approached me, resting a hand on the arm of the chair I was sitting on. He leaned in, his eyes locked onto mine before they fell shut. He captured my lips in a soft kiss, two fingers under my chin tilting my head up.
I kissed him back, my heart pounding as his lips moved against mine. It felt like time had stopped, and him breaking away from my lips came too soon. I was slightly breathless when he did.
I saw the smirk on Josh's face just before he turned around. I bit the inside of my lip, trying not to think about the way he'd just kissed me.
I barely paid attention to the next few rounds of the game, focusing so hard on not thinking about that kiss that I wasn't focusing on anything.
"Josh, truth or dare?" JJ grinned.
"Dare." He said confidently.
"7 minutes in heaven with Simon." He laughed.
Harry looked at me, whispering something under his breath.
"It's okay, it's just a game, and we're not exclusive." He said quiet enough that only I heard.
Josh stood up, grinning and shaking his head. I followed him toward the bedroom down the hall, heart hammering in my chest.
