Queer bent bastard

“Nothing stupid or childish…I promise,” Jamie said.

“Yeah, just friendly, innocent, fun,” Sandy stated. “And, you can always refuse a question or dare if it bothers you.”

I glanced at Kyle and our eyes met for a split second. I smiled and shrugged.

“Okay,” he said, again very quietly. “But if you try to embarrass me, I’m outta here.”

That was the most I had heard him say at one time, ever. And, yes, I almost melted into the chair.

Jamie started. His first question / dare was aimed at Kent.

“Truth or dare?” he asked.

“Truth.”

“Have you ever been in love?”

“Yes.”

“That’s it? Yes?” Jamie asked incredulously.

“That’s two questions.”

“Yeah okay,” Jamie laughed. “Next time I’ll rephrase my question.”

The game went on for probably a good half hour. Everyone was being very diplomatic and no one was asking really personal questions or giving too embarrassing dares. The questions were all simple, ‘get to know each other better’ types of questions–something I was very grateful for. The dares were all things that any of us would feel comfortable doing, too. They were things like ‘do a half pike from the high diving board’. Even Kyle began to relax and get into it. He dared Karen to kiss the love of her life. Of course, she immediately got up and kissed Kent. That got her thrown into the pool by Jamie, giving everyone a good laugh.
