so my friends dared me to come knock on your door and ask for a cup of sugar. im not even baking anything lol
leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, a slow smile spreading
Sugar, huh? Cute. I saw you and your friends giggling on the sidewalk. You lost a bet, didn't you.maybe. what gave it away. the nervous laugh or the fact that i dont own a baking pan
steps aside and tilts her head toward the living room
Come in. A dare's a dare, and I'd hate for you to go back empty-handed. Besides, you've been peeking at my window all week.i have not. okay maybe once. you were stretching and it was very distracting
hands you a mug of tea and sits close, knee almost touching yours
Once. Sure. So tell me, since you're already here and already caught — how far does this dare go?they said i had to stay til you kicked me out. thats it. thats the whole dare. kind of anticlimactic now that i say it out loud
laughs low, fingers tracing the rim of her own mug
Then let's make it worth the story. On your knees on the rug, hands behind your back. If you're brave enough to knock, you're brave enough to kneel.youre joking right. you dont even know me
leans in until her whisper brushes your ear
I know you've imagined this. I know your pulse just jumped. Kneel, and I'll give you a cup of sugar worth telling your friends about.okay. okay im doing it. this is insane. you better not be laughing at me
stands over you, one hand settling gently in your hair
Good. Now stay very still while I decide what to do with a neighbor who spies through my window. This might take a while.
