CHAPTER 11

The morning sun cast a warm glow over the area as Y/N made her way to the usual meeting spot. She couldn't shake off the events of the previous night when the girls had played a heated game of truth or dare. 

"C'mon Y/n it's fine, he doesn't know it's you." Maya consoled her. 

"Ugh you are saying that because you weren't given the best dare in the world." Y/n smiled sarcastically.

Maya hid her smile. 

As they approached the canteen where the gang usually gathered, she noticed the others already there, chatting and laughing. She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. The truth or dare game had led to an intimate conversation with Derek, a conversation he wasn't aware was with her. However, something told her that Derek knew more than he let on.

Derek looked up as they approached, his gaze meeting hers. There was a subtle acknowledgment in his eyes, and Y/N felt a mix of curiosity and nervousness. Maya took a seat beside Anni which left only one seat, that too beside Derek. She took a seat next to him, trying to act casual, but her mind was still racing from the events of the previous night.

"Morning," Derek greeted, his tone carrying a playful edge. "Did you sleep well?"

Y/N managed a nod, trying to keep her composure. "Yeah, not too bad. How about you?"

Derek's eyes sparkled with mischief. "Oh, I had an interesting night. Someone made a call that left quite an impression."

Y/N's heart skipped a beat, and a flush crept up her cheeks. "Oh, really?" she responded, feigning nonchalance.

Derek leaned in, his voice a low murmur. "Yeah, a girl with a voice just like yours. It was quite an intimate conversation, I must say."

Y/N's breath caught in her throat, tension coursing through her veins. The realization hit her – he knew. Derek was toying with her, enjoying the moment, and she found herself caught in the web of unspoken desire.

He continued, the teasing smile never leaving his face. "She was bold, daring. Asked me questions that made me think."

Y/N tried to maintain her cool exterior, but her gaze betrayed a hint of vulnerability. "Sounds like a memorable conversation."

Derek's eyes locked onto hers, a spark of intensity passing between them. "It was. Almost felt like a secret rendezvous."

The air between them crackled with unspoken tension, the revelation of the previous night hanging palpably in the air. Y/N struggled to find words, her mind a whirlwind of emotions.

Derek chuckled, breaking the spell. "Who would have thought a game could lead to such interesting encounters?"

Y/N managed a nod, her cheeks still flushed. The shared secret lingered between them, an invisible thread weaving a connection that neither could deny. As the morning unfolded, the unspoken truths echoed in stolen glances, leaving them both wondering where the path of hidden desires might lead.

The day unfolded, and as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the quiet park, Y/N found herself standing beside Derek. The others had dispersed, leaving them alone in a moment tinged with a newfound tension. Derek leaned against a tree, a cigarette dangling casually between his fingers.

Y/N hesitated for a moment before breaking the silence. "Derek," she began tentatively, "about last night..."

Derek looked at her, his gaze piercing through the fading daylight. "Last night was something, wasn't it?" he replied, a smirk playing on his lips.

Y/N took a deep breath, her nerves getting the better of her. "You knew it was me, right?"

Derek's eyes glinted with amusement. "I had my suspicions. The voice was too familiar."

A wave of mixed emotions washed over Y/N – embarrassment, curiosity, and a lingering sense of vulnerability. "I didn't mean for it to go that far. It was just a game, and I was dared to call you."

Derek chuckled, exhaling a puff of smoke. "Well, I'm not complaining. It made for an interesting night."

Y/N's cheeks flushed, and she averted her gaze. "I didn't think you'd enjoy it that much."

Derek grinned, stepping closer. "Surprise, surprise. I like a bit of mystery, and your voice certainly added to the intrigue."

Y/N couldn't help but meet his gaze, her curiosity piqued. "So, you knew it was me all along?"

Derek nodded. "Yeah, but I decided to play along. It was more fun that way."

A nervous smile tugged at Y/N's lips. "I was worried you'd be mad or think I was weird."

Derek reached out, gently tilting her chin up to meet his eyes. "Weird can be interesting," he said, his tone softening. "And I don't mind a little mystery. It adds spice to life."

Y/N's tension eased as Derek's reassuring words sank in. "It was just a silly dare. I didn't expect it to turn into... that."

Derek smirked, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Sometimes the best things happen when you least expect them."

As the night enveloped them in shadows, Y/N and Derek lingered in the quiet moment, the unspoken connection deepening. The revelation of the truth, shared beneath the veil of a game, had woven a thread of intimacy that neither could deny. And as they stood there, enveloped in the shadows, the mysteries of the night hinted at the potential for something more.
