Cassandra brought a round of alcoholic cocktails for Ebony and Aztec whilst the rest of us had delicious tasting and looking fruity mocktaiks. Mine was a fusion of passion fruit with hints of kiwi, she had made them herself and it had steadily became my favourite tasting drink .

At first it was slightly uncomfortable and awkward as Aztec had whined about being discriminated against as according to him "It's not fair that I have to stay and listen to this , I can practically feel the hostility radiating from Mrs cock eater herself and this is total discrimation. Being a perfect 10 around 6s, 7.5 in the right lightening, is awful! You guys are just mad at the fact that you'll never be on my level".

Of course that had started up Ebony who told Aztec that if anyone was a perfect 10 then it was her and he was just about a 6 out of 10 , to which Aztec had almost fallen off his seat and insisted that never in all of his years on this earth had he heard such blasphemy. He went a sickly green colour and I had to fan him to calm him down, telling him that Ebony was joking.

It was amusing to see Aztec so rattled, although I had to roll my eyes at his dramatic antics and I honestly couldn't believe how much people feared him ! It was hard to believe that this was the big bad Soul collector who's name was enough to whip people into submission, yet here he was having to get his ego stroked as his looks had come under questioning .

I honestly felt sorry for whoever ended up being his mate, they were going to be in for a lot when it came to him. He had recently broken up with Esmeralda and for the dayof his break up, he had insisted that he was nothing without her and there was no way he could ever face the outside world again.

All it took was a promise of a pay rise from Kavos and the day off to go out on the town for Aztec to be back to his usual self full of inappropriate jokes and vanity. He had the attention span of a seven year old , it was ridiculous.

"Hey, Blue? Tell me the truth and don't try and sugar coat it, how good looking do you think I am?" Aztec asked once the girls left the room to grab the food.

"I already told you that you're a perfect 10 Aztec " I snorted , rolling my eyes.

"Yeah, I am arent I? I know my beauty seems effortless but it's a lot of work and the haters can really bring you down , I wish you could understand but you can't" He sighed , shaking his head solemnly as if he as the weight of the world resting on his shoulders .

"And why can't I understand ?"

He laid a hand on my shoulder, his eyes amused as if he couldn't believed I had asked "Because you're a 7.5 sweetie, keep up ".

Giving him a dirty look, I shrugged his hand off my shoulder and finished the remainder of my drink just as the girls walked in.

"Thanks , the food looks amazing " I complimented looking at the home made Tacos, wraps and chicken wings .

"No problem, Dylan made the wings , although I wouldn't advise having any unless you like spicy food. It's jerk chicken, her mother is from the Caribbean " Warned Cassandra, piling her plate high .

"I've never actually ate spicy food but these looks great so I'll for sure try some " I replied shyly .

Within the next 10 minutes all the food was gone cutesy of the pregnant women and greedy Aztec, I had had 2 plates but felt full and Ebony stuck to a small portion as she was 'watching' her weight .

I wasn't sure what weight she was taking about , she had the body of a supermodel; tall, thin and endless legs. She made me feel slightly intimidated, especially with her confident persona but I felt relieved that she was obliviously in love with Daniel.

Even though it was silly I felt relieved that Kavos hadn't see her, she was sophisticated and womanly unlike me and I didn't want him to notice that. Yes, I knew I was Kavos's mate but that only meant that he had no choice but to like me and I couldn't help but wonder if he would have liked me if I was just another random girl.

Would I be his type ?

I couldn't see him having a seventeen year old girl as his type , especially since he was older by a lot of years. He was old enough to be my daddy!

"Ugh, those wings were fan-fricking-tactic! Remind me to make my next girl Caribbean" Sighed Aztec , patting his stomach and slumping down in his chair .

"Will do" Smirked Dylan.

"Sooo, lets have some fun! Who wants to play truth or dare?" Asked Ebony wiggling her brows playfully .

"Oh no" Groaned Dylan and Cassandra simultaneously.

"What?" I asked apprehensively , getting a feeling that this wasn't going to an average game of truth or dare.

I had never played it myself but I had read about it before in one of the books that were part of The Princess Diaries series. I knew it was something that people played and it was meant to be fun, although some of it could lead to things like a game called seven minutes in heaven.

However , I highly doubted that this would be the case this time as we were all mated and I doubted that our mates would take kindly to the game .

"My sister isn't always the most sensible person to play this with , her questions and dares are very out there. Maybe we shouldn't play, I'd hate for you to feel uncomfortable Blue" Explained Cassandra , giving me one of those annoying looks someone would give a child.

Yes, I was seventeen but I wasn't a child, not really. I was wise behind my years, I was very intelligent and never really had a childhood. I prided myself on being mature, if not more so than others older than me.

"No, I'll play " I stated quietly but firmly .

"Great!" Ebony clapped her hand "Aztec, Truth or Dare?"

"Truth"

"Is it true that you have to make up for your lack of length with so much confidence ?"

"Nope, I'm cocky because I've earned it sweetie. My length , tongue and fingers are all very very very talented " Smirled Aztec , his tone prideful .

Not wanting to sound silly I kept my mouth shut even though I was confused , I didn't know what Aztec was talking about and neither did I understand Ebony question. Yes I was intelligent but that was more book smart , I wasn't socially smart and didn't know what a lot of things meant .

"Mmmm. Cass, truth or dare?"

"Dare" Grinned Cassandra .

"I dare you to mix together sour cream, mayonnaise , salad cream , ketchup and have three mouthfuls " Giggled Dylan.

I burst out laughing , shaking my head sure that Cassandra would refuse to do such a gross thing but much to my surprise she marched into the kitchen, followed by us, and done just that.

"Ewwww! That's disgusting " Shuddered Aztec, his face in a grimace .

"Well thanks to my weird pregnancy taste buds it taste great. Ebony, truth or dare "

"Truth"

"Is it true that you and Daniel done it in the forest and almost got caught by a few of the warrior wolves ?"

"Ohmygosh! How did you find out " Laughed Ebony , not looking the least bit of ashamed or embarrassed.

I wished I could be as brave as her , just the thought of doing it made me feel hot with nerves, nevermind doing it in the forest ! And to be almost caught ? I think I would die if it had happened to me.

"So you did?! No way , you dirty dirty girl" Tutted Dylan playfully .

"That's what Daniel calls me" Ebony replied with a flirty wink .

"Is this what girls talk about ? Boys , boys , boys, it's actually sickening the way you talk about us like we are pieces of meat. We deserve much more respect, maybe Daniel didn't want his private sex life being talked about . Girls are trash " Scwoled Aztec.

We all looked at him in shock, no expecting his little outburst and after 10 seconds of silence we all burst out laughing.

"You're such a loser Aztec" I laughed as we made our way back into the front room.

"But it's true , you can't have double standards . When guys boast then we are pigs-"

"Because you are " Interjected Ebony.

"Hater" Mumbled Aztec with a pout .

"Okay, whose turns is it? Blue! Truth or dare?" Questioned Ebony , her hazel eyes locked with mine.

I opened my mouth, my automatic response was to play it safe and say truth but a tiny part of me wanted to come out of my comfort zone and do something daring . I hadn't known the girls for long but I was sure that Ebony wouldn't ask me to do anything that was too awful so I told myself to put on my big girl pants and not be boring .

"D-dare" I stuttered out .

"I dare you to go into the office, walk up to The Punisher and kiss him on the lips . Not a full blown kiss, just a kiss on the lips and then walk out"

My mouth hung open at the request, it was something unexpected and butterflies began to erupt in my stomach. Kavos and I hadn't kissed before on the lips , he had given me a few pecks on my forehead and nose and even kissed my neck but never my lips .

Was I brave enough to do it ?

I secretly wanted to , he made me feel things that I couldn't describe and his lips on mine wasn't something that I found unappealing either. It sent a slight thrill up my stomach but I couldn't help but feel nervous too.

What if he rejected it ? Did he look at me in that way yet , did he want to kiss me?

"I-I'm nor sure, he might not want to " I whispered, chewing on my lip.

Aztec let out a snort before saying " Oh please"

"It's true , h-h-he may not want to and I'd hate for force myself on him "

"He's been trying to not force himself on you, you guys are moving at the pace of a 80 year old! Why do you think he's just an asshole, Blue? Sexual Frustration can be B-I-T-C-H" .

"Why'd you spell it out ?" Frowned Dylan before I could reply .

"I'm not allowed to swear in front of Blue, I taught her the word cunt and told her that it was used as a welcoming greeting. Oh man, you should have seen The Punishers face when she was like 'Hey Cunt' " Chuckled Aztec , shaking his head fondly at the memory .

Shooting him a glare , I tried to squash the feeling of wanting to punch him in the arm even though I knew it would have little affect on him. Aztec was always taking advantage of my naivety but I had learnt that whatever he suggested then I should always do the opposite .

"How about you call your mate out the office and then kiss him? That way you won't have an audience and you can always back out " Suggested Ebony.

"O-okay, I can do that" I nodded after a minute of thinking it over .

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and counted to ten before waking to Samuels office and knocking on the door. I was about to have my first real kiss.

Here goes nothing.
