SILLY AFTER P A R T I E S

[nathan]

Nathan Wilder was more than happy to get back to the game. To just forget all that had taken place before. Truth or dare...and it was finally his turn once again. Before he had to hump a girls leg. So who knew what he'd be in store for now. Maybe that was why he should have gone with truth...but truth was anything but interesting. So he went with dare...and honestly this one he like a whole lot better. He got to his feet, unbuttoning the front of his shirt as he did so. Taking it off, he tossed it towards Melanie and Isobel. Then to his pants, he reached down and easily unzipped them, pulling them down and off. "And there you go. So truth or dare Dory?" He asked though her answer was expected. "Oh I forgot You don't do dares. So how about you tell us all about how  what just happened to you felt."

 

 

[GABE EVANS]

Gabe laughed as Todd pulled her closer, though it didn’t take long for her body and heart to respond to him. Gabe swallowed hard. She licked her lips and pulled back slightly enough to look up at him as he spoke, biting her lip as he explained. What he wanted was to be friends with benefits…As if she hadn’t done that before, but it had never involved sex before. And she wanted it. Gabe wanted to say yes more than anything, but she had to stay smart with this. They had had sex, yes, and he was her best friend and maybe they’d be okay. But she had feelings for him, she reminded herself. Or at least was sure she did…And agreeing to what was basically meaningless sex would only make things worse and she knew without a doubt it would get her hurt in the long run. “I…I don’t…think that’s such a great…Idea…” she said, swallowing hard. “But uh…I guess a few minutes of making out would be a…good way to end things,” she said with a small smile, unable to help herself but to enjoy what she was certain to be her last chance to kiss him. She took his face in her hands and kissed him deeply, pulling him over so that her back hit the wall and she pulled him closer.

[NATALIE EVANS]

Let’s just say… Nat wouldn’t even look at Nathan as he did his dare. She didn’t want to like spoiler by backing away, but at the same time, took no pleasure in the event. She had to admit though, it was a bit amusing and nearly let out a small laugh at the situation she got herself in. Maybe, just maybe, she’d try to have a little fun today and loosen up a bit. When Nathan’s fifteen seconds were up, she actually joked a bit. ”Nice doing business with ya.” A small smirk of amusement graced her red painted lips, which actually reached her dark-chocolate orbs. What a way to open up to a person than to have them hump your leg for a few seconds?

Idly, Natalie listened to the different truths and dares that went around the same bunch of people. She had to admit, they were really on the hilarious side and found herself laughing at a few. She removed her gloves and combat books to be a bit more comfortable… as comfortable a ball gown could be that is… and continued to listen. When they started up Seven Minutes in Heaven, Gabe and her friend Todd being the first ones picked, Nat became more interested. She strained her ears to listen to the back closet, just in case something embarrassing happened to her sister that she could use for blackmail later. Yes, Nat loved her older sister, but she still needed help against her every now and again.

[dory]

Dory frowned when Nate brought up the fact that she didn’t do dares and almost felt bad and embarrassed about choosing Truth, but no matter what she figured it would be less humiliating than a dare. When Nathan asked his question, though, Dory began asking herself if that was really the case or not. Her cheeks immediately flamed up and she cleared her throat, grabbing a bottle of something or other off of the table and gulping down a little bit, hoping a bit of liquid confidence might help. Not so much. “It…tickled…” she laughed nervously, pushing loose strands of red hair behind her ears. “Not…bad…Umm…Weird. I’ve never done that or had it done before so…It was a little awkward…” she said, answering with a bit more ease than she expected and smiled a bit. No need to mention the pleasant little feeling she got from Taylor’s lips ever so slightly touching her own. No, that she could keep to herself.

Clearing her throat, she glanced around the room…Gabe’s sister Nat hadn’t been called on, though she was keeping to herself and figuring Nat was like her, Dory decided to leave her alone. She didn’t like being picked so she wasn’t going to bother her. That only left the pretty blond that was Zach’s girlfriend, Bella Rose. “Umm…Bella, right? Truth or dare?” she asked, forcing her body to relax a bit and taking another long sip of whatever it was she had in her hand…Whiskey, she realized after a moment. The familiar taste that brought back many memories. Memories that should have made her put that bottle down, but she couldn’t help herself. When Bella answered dare, Dory nodded and kept drinking a moment while she thought about it and finally put the bottle down, licking her lips as she thought about it. “Ummm. I dare you to…Serenade Zach,” she finally said uncertainly. It wasn’t sexual or anything and not super interesting and she hoped it wasn’t something that would embarrass her. It was hard picking interesting dares that weren’t sexual and didn’t embarrass people, though.

[TODD FORCE]

Todd could hear his heart thudding in his chest as he waited for Gabe to respond to him, holding her close and just hoping this didn't ruin anything further between them. She finally mumbled that she wasn't sure if it was a good idea, and Todd was grateful that the lighting in the closet was a bit dim, just enough that she might not notice his face and neck flaming up like a bonfire.

"Oh yeah, no, of course not," he chuckled awkwardly. "I don't even know why I said it, actually, I knew it was a stupid idea," he laughed nervously, though her next words made him quiet. He would get to kiss her, at least... One last time.

Gabe... Todd mouthed, part of him hoping she wouldn't notice that either as she pulled him down to meet her lips, kissing him deeply. Todd made a soft, pleasured sound that only she would hear, kissing her back passionately and bracing his hand on the wall above her head as he pressed her back up against it. His fingers danced over her stomach, unsure how far he was allowed to go this time, but as his tongue swept over her lower lip Todd knew he would be fine with anything... anything at all as long as it involved Gabe.

[GABE EVANS]

It was hard not to smile at Todd’s words. She knew better, of course, and she didn’t think badly of him for it or anything…She just didn’t want to get hurt. Though she couldn’t help but wonder how much time they had and that one more for the road didn’t sound like too bad of an idea. For now she just kissed him, pulling him to the wall and shivering gently as his hand moved over her stomach and his tongue flicked against her lips. Gabe smiled and parted her lips for him, taking one hand and grabbing his, sliding it up where it belonged before sliding her hand back up his arm and resting on his shoulder. In her camisole and shorts, it was a lot easier to feel him than it had been in that gown, and already these clothes felt too much in the way. Gabe didn’t dare suggest anything, though, and only slowly slid one leg up his own, the action allowing their hips to press a bit closer together, something a bit dangerous and her heart sped up in response as her leg wrapped around him, the other a bit unsteady, but with help from Todd and the wall she stayed standing. It didn’t take long for the world to disappear again in a haze of beautiful ignorance and pleasure.

[TODD FORCE]

Todd shuddered when he felt Gabe's body tremble gently against his own while he kissed her, and feeling her smile against his lips made his knees go weak again. She opened her mouth to him and he slid his tongue inside, more easily this time and he let it dance gently with her own, sighing pleasurably into her mouth. Again she took his hand and dragged it upward, and Todd moaned quietly into her mouth as his hand was placed again over the soft roundness of her breast. He squeezed and massaged her flesh gently, his breath catching when she wrapped one leg around his hip. He tilted his hips up and into her, pressing against her as much as he dared, and kissing her even more deeply as he realized their time was probably almost up.

[GABE EVANS]

Gabe moaned a half pleasured, half pleading moan into his mouth as his hand worked on her breast while his hips pressed into her. She held him against her, feeling herself get lost again in the feel of him against her, feeling herself easily getting worked up again until a loud banging on the door made her gasp as Christian yelled, “TIME’S UP, LOVERS!” Gabe banged her head back against the door and quickly untangled herself from Todd and cleared her throat, stepping a bit to the side as the door was opened. Christian grinned at them and she glanced from him to Todd and murmured, “I’ll be in the bathroom,” before walking past Christian, ignoring his knowing grin and the way he watched her. “Liz, you’re up! I’ll be right back!” she promised, walking quickly to the bathroom, heart pounding hard in her chest. She wondered if Todd had taken her statement as an offer to follow her or as a warning that she needed time to cool down. Because in all reality, Gabe wasn’t entirely sure herself how she had meant it.

[bells]

She snuggled happily against Zach, it was easy enough with all that was going on to act like nothing was wrong...like they hadn't had any issues. Though she hadn't been here the whole time, as far as she knew she was the only one hadn't been involved in the game yet. She like most when she was picked selected dare...and hers she supposed would have been hard for some. But unlike most she loved to sing, and she actually had a pretty voice...or so she was told. Singing to her boyfriend on Valentine's day..:it was cute. Of course it'd be with the original singer...though she chose to sing with out. Her song of course cliche but she lived it. Teenage dream by Katy Perry...she skipped a bit...either way she was quite happy when she finished. "Perfect timing! Ohhh Todd, truth or dare." She called, unable to keep from smirking as he spoke. "I dare you to hmmm." She paused watching Gabe walk away. "Let Isobel sit on your lap until your girlfriend gets back."
 

 

[lucas]

Luke cursed under his breath as he climbed the stairs to the apartment two at a time. He had been rear-ended in the middle of a very busy intersection, causing quite a traffic jam and requiring lots of police to keep all the other cars away while they worked everything out. It had taken forever for the lady behind him to find her driver's license, and then she had tried to pin it on him, saying he had backed up or something. It was a ridiculous story, one that no one would ever believe, but she stuck to it like glue and it made quite the commotion. Finally, finally, they had been able to wrap everything up, but by that time the ball was well over and everyone was at an after party. Isobel had given him the address to the place, and now here he was. He knocked twice before entering upon hearing familiar voices, looking around the room. Seeing Christian in a dress, Luke laughed.

"Ah, Truth or Dare! Classic. Sorry I'm so late, I don't know if Isobel told you but I had some... yeah. Fender bender," he grumbled, scratching the back of his head. He smiled and went to sit by Elena, whistling as he looked her up and down. "Aww, and I didn't even get to see you in your dress. I'm sorry," he said, leaning over to kiss her cheek. Not that he was complaining about the way she looked right now.

[TODD FORCE]

Loud banging on the door made them both jump and tear apart, though Todd really didn't want to... he realized too late that that was probably the only chance he'd ever have again to kiss Gabe. Christian opened the door, so Todd pulled himself together and tried not to let any arousal or dejection show on his face. But Christian seemed to know everything, and Todd didn't look at him as he followed Gabe out the door. She mentioned that she would be in the bathroom, which confused Todd a bit and made him stop... was that supposed to mean "follow me?"

He stood there for a moment, trying to decide what to do, before Bella called his name and asked him "truth or dare?" Guess that decided things.

"Dare. And Taylor, get in the closet!" he called. After everything that had happened tonight, he was terrified of what anyone asked him for truth. And while it certainly hadn't been as bad as some of the other dares, Bella's made him want to cringe.

"That could be forever, because I don't have a girlfriend," he mumbled, hating the way his ears turned red as he sat down. There was nothing going on between him and Gabe... at least not anymore, he told himself. Just his little one-sided crush... nothing more. There was nothing to get worked up about.

[ISOBEL CARTER]

Isobel giggled happily when Nate teased Melanie about having something to tell them all about her, and when Melanie chucked the pillow at his head, telling him she hadn't wanted anyone to know. Isobel beamed proudly and wiggled in Melanie's lap, flicking her tongue out teasingly at Nate before winking at him with a playful smile. She was in a good mood, and everything was going well... She smirked when Gabe and Todd went off to the closet, letting her eyes follow them until the door shut. Seven minutes passed of them continuing their game, until Christian went to get them and Todd was dared to have her sit on his lap until his "girlfriend" got back from the bathroom. Isobel looked at Christian, and then Gabe, a hint of worry in her eyes as she cleared her throat and reluctantly stood up from Melanie's lap. She walked over to where Todd was sitting and gave him a small, comforting smile.

"Hi," she said softly, gingerly sitting down and clearing her throat, returning her focus to the game and hoping the less attention she paid to Todd, the better off everyone would be.

[helen]

Honestly after all that had happened, Elena had forgotten all about what Isobel had said about Lucas. How had been Ina car accident, he was okay but that's why he had missed the ball. He would be at the after party, and if not for the timing of things, she would have actually been happy to hear he was coming. She had been looking forward to seeing him all night after all. But that hope had faded about halfway into the ball. Deep down she had known something was wring. She had never been stood up in her life...not only that but Luke seemed far too sweet to pull something like that. 


She had forgotten about him coming...which only added to the surprise when she finally saw him walk through the door. Which for the first time in probably her life, she felt self conscious. She'd shoved her chest in Christian's face...danced on a poll...but none of that worried her more than this. Everyone else here had seen quite a bit of her, but she was worried of what he'd thinkof her. Either way, she still smiled when he walked over to her. "Yeah she did...I'm just glad you're okay." Perhaps she had forgotten but her concern wasn't a lie..,She laughed, shaking her head as she leaned over to locate her dress. "Well I could always put it back on if you want." 
 

 

[GABE EVANS]

Gabe froze midway down the hall when she heard Bella’s dare. It was so pathetic, the way just the idea of another girl sitting in his lap made her both angry and sad. It was tempting to turn around and walk back in, pretending she had forgotten something, but shaking her head she trudged forward and slammed the bathroom door shut a bit louder than intended. “Fuck!” Gabe hissed, kicking at the cabinet and leaning over the counter, staring at her reflection as tears burned her eyes. There was nothing more she wanted than to leave this bathroom and end whatever was going on right now, but she couldn’t. Gabe recalled earlier that night, seeing all of those girls throwing themselves at men, and she refused to do that. It was pathetic enough she had forked up her virginity without a second thought, there was no need to be as completely desperate and pathetic as all of those girls she hated.

Besides, Todd didn’t even like her. Anything they did have was purely physical and she had to keep that in mind. How was she going to have him ever getting a girlfriend if she couldn’t handle another girl sitting in his lap? Gabe paced around for a few minutes, shaking her head and muttering herself reminders about how much better than this she was before wiping the tears from her eyes and forcing a smile on her face, a smile for her reflection before she turned and walked out of the door, swallowing hard as she turned to the living room, heart sinking as she saw what she had expected…The very pretty brunette sitting in Todd’s lap. Gabe forced herself to laugh. “Already moving on? I’m hurt,” she teased the best she could, offering him a wink before grabbing the bottle of vanilla rum Zach had hidden for her and popped off the lid, taking a long sip as she returned to her seat.

[liz]

When you were best friends with someone... You knew just about everything about them. Even in her buzz, she could easily see something was up with Gabe and Todd which she planned to full on interrogate them both tomorrow. For mow though, she just hoped they could all enjoy the party. Seven minutes in heaven and her two best friends were up first. "I think Christian is just trying to get back at me for taking his clothes." She teased when Gabe mentioned her getting jealous. She wasn't, if anything she felt concern...but it was easy to push it to the back of her mind. "I guess they just want us to get to know each other better." Laughing when she was picked for seven minutes in heaven with Taylor. She hoped up, stepping lightly across the room and to the closet.
