“Do it. It’ll warm you up.”

Anna shook her head and threw back what must have been about a dram’s worth. What a waste of good whisky.

“Woohoo!” Hayley clapped. “Now you go,” Hayley said, leaning towards her, skin glowing in the light from the flames. Damn it, why was she so cute all the time?

“Okay. Would you like a truth or a dare?”

“Truth.”

Anna raised an eyebrow. She thought Hayley was all about the dares tonight. “Right. Um.” Anna couldn’t think. “Do you really like British tea or are you just pretending?”

Hayley’s mouth fell open as if seriously offended. “I can’t believe you would even ask me that. Of course I like it. I love it!”

“Good. I’ve just always wondered.”

Hayley narrowed her eyes again. “Truth or dare?”

“These are coming in thick and fast.”

Hayley turned her palms up, as if waiting for Anna to reply.

“Truth.”

“What’s your favourite sexual position?”

“The fuck, Hayley? I’m not answering that.”

“You said you wanted a truth. This is truth or dare.”

Anna’s breath caught. What was she going to say? “Er…”

“Come on. We’ve not got all night. Oh wait, yes, we do! To be honest I would wait forever to find this out.”

“This is too difficult.”

“Why?”

“It’s too personal.”

“Is it?”

Anna sighed. She needed to stop being so awkward around her friend. It wasn’t Hayley’s fault Anna was crushing on her again. That spending so much time with Hayley again was bringing it all back, and then some. “Oral.”

Hayley exploded in laughter. This went on for some time. “You have a way with words, Anna,” Hayley said, almost crying with laughter.

“You know what I mean, don’t you?”

“Giving or receiving?”

“That’s another question. I already did my truth.”

Hayley held her hands up. “Okay. You’re right.”

“Truth or dare?”

Hayley turned to face Anna directly and sat upright. “Dare.”

Wanting the game to end, Anna decided to say something so outrageous that Hayley would be sure to forfeit. “I dare you to take your top and bra off and do five star-jumps while shouting ‘I’m so horny’ at the top of your lungs.”
