My phone chimed. Text.
Where are u?
"I'm all checked in."
What room?
"314, okay? Stop worrying! See you tomorrow."
I took a shower to wash the road trip grime from me. 12 hours of driving was exhausting. No longer smelling like french fries, I flopped on the hotel bed to flip through the channels. There was a knock on my door.
"Who is it? I didn't order room service."
"Sosh, let me in!"
I gasped. "Kyle?! What are you DOING here?"
After I slid the chain lock back, he swept me into a huge bear hug. It brought tears to my eyes.
"Oh don't cry."
We sat and talked for a couple hours, me fighting sleep. I got up to use the restroom and when I opened the door, he was standing in his shorts, bare-chested. I flushed pink.
"Truth or Dare," he grinned.
"Nope."
"Come on!"
"I hate this game! I don't trust people."
"Even me?"
"Especially you!" I giggled. "No idea what you are thinking."
"Sure you do! You read my mind all the time."
I paused. "If you snore, I will hit you."
"Exactly! See?"

Interesting. While my prompt used the word dare to challenge people into writing, I hadn't meant for it to be taken so literally but I am pleasantly amused that it happened. I think this was fun. There's a kind of sexiness to it (at least for me) and a sense of humor.
