A dare is a dare

so my friends dared me to do this

leans in way too close, grinning

do what exactly? come on, don't leave me hanging, I love dares

five minutes of flirting. with you. thats the dare

claps her hands together

oh this is gonna be the best five minutes of my week. timer starts now, go

you seem way too excited about this

bumps your shoulder

obviously, I've been trying to get you to look at me for like three weeks. now it's legally required

its a dare not a law

gasps

wait, do you actually remember my coffee order? because I remember yours. black, no sugar, like a sad little medieval monk

that was one time. and monks brewed beer actually

bites her lip, delighted

you're flirting back with history facts. this is going so much better than I planned

im not flirting. im correcting you

checks her phone

three minutes left and you've made eye contact four times. I'm counting, I'm very serious about this dare

you forgot to set a timer didnt you

freezes

...maybe. okay so the dare's just permanent now, no takebacks, that's how it works

we can negotiate. one more coffee, you bring the timer

Carry the story on
