Chapter Twenty

"Fine," I say then grab his hand.

"No not my hand," he says.

"You didn't specify," I say.

"Well why would I mean my hand?"

"Ugh. Okay restate the dare then."

"I dare you to kiss me right here," he says pointing to his lips.

"How about your cheek?"

"Maya."

"Lucas."

"Just do it already. If you don't do it you have to do the punishment dare, and it's a lot worse."

"I thought we agreed to take this slow," I say.

"I didn't say you had to make out with me, just kiss me for like a second."

"Fine," I say then slowly lean up to kiss him. Our lips only touch for about half of a second, but it feels okay. It almost makes me want to do it again.

"Now was it that bad?" he asks.

"I guess not," I say with a sigh of defeat.

"Want to do it again?" he asks.

Yes.

"I don't know if we should," I say.

"Why not?" he asks.

"We have discussed this before, you know why," I say.

"How about we toss out the rules!" he suggests cheerfully.

"No. I want it to come naturally, not because of a dare," I say.

"Hey Maya?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you wanna go camping tonight?"

"Lucas!"

"Well do you?"

"No."

"Fine. It was worth a shot."

We both just sit there for about two minutes laughing. He looks so cute when he laughs. Wow. It feels really nice to think that without feeling guilty about it.

"We could go camping next weekend though," I say, because I do like camping.

"But where?" he asks.

"Are we allowed to go to Texas?" I ask laughing.

"I mean I don't see why not. Do you want to? We can invite Riley, Farkle, Zay, and Smackle."

"Yes, that sounds so fun!"

"Ok I will text Farkle and Zay, you ask the other two."

Maya: How do you guys feel about going down to Texas next weekend?

Smackle: Woah! That sounds like a very fun time.

Riley: Let me ask my parents.

Maya: Lucas suggested going camping and I said we could go to Texas.

Smackle: I'm excited already.

Maya: Are you even allowed to go?

Smackle: Are you kidding? I asked as soon as I saw the message.

"How is it going?" I ask.

"They are coming. How about you?"

"Smackle is coming, Riley is still asking."

"Great."

We just stare into each other's eyes for some reason. I don't really care though, I love looking into his eyes. It reminds me of when he got upset they were cancelling art class. We just looked at each other and didn't have to say anything.

"I want you to be happy too," I say, then I slide my chair closer to him and wrap my arms around him. A passionate hug isn't breaking the rules, but a passionate kiss is. Is he right? Should we just abandon the rules? He might be.
