Next few seconds we were just staring at each other as everyone were waiting for me to do the dare while they were whistling. Ben lightly nodded that just I saw him, and I walked over him sitting on his lap. His hand was slowly grabbing my waist, so I didn't move, but no one saw it because he did it behind the hoodie that I was wearing, so it wasn't seen
"Mason, truth or dare" I asked looking at him
"dare" he said
"Convince Sophia to give you a little kiss on the neck" I said
"I don't have to convince her; I just need to tell her to give me a kiss on the neck" he said convinced in himself
"Right Soph?" he asked her, and she nodded quickly kissing him on the neck
"Kai, truth or dare?" Mason asked
"dare" he said
"don't move for 1 minute, Ela can do whatever she wants with you" Mason read as I smiled and went to take my black marker
"No, Ela" he whined when he saw marker in my hand
I opened it and started drawing moustache on his face and a little thunder on his forehead.
"I look like an idiot?" he said as I sat back on Ben's leg still looking at Kai laughing
"Take a look" I said as Ben gave me his phone
"Oh god" he sighed looking at the picture Ben took "but that thunder looks good" he said, and I smiled
"Two turns finished Ela" Timo said and at first, I didn't realise what he was saying but then I realised is about me sitting on Ben's lap
"stay" Ben whispered grabbing onto my waist as I looked back at him "please" he whispered, and I gave up to him hearing the rest of boys along with Sophia whistling again but we just ignored it continuing playing.
The rest of the night we were playing the game until we died of laughter because of all dares we needed to do but also, we found something new about each other.
"I think we should go, it's 1am" Kai said yawning
"yes" Timo said
"We will see you soon guys" Kai said
"You can come on our match on Tuesday" Timo said
"We will see" Sophia said laughing
"that's rude Sophia" Timo said
"Would you stay?" Sophia asked Mason
"Excuse me" Ben said turning his phone to me, England management is calling him
He walked away as I was thinking what can be. In the moment they only can call him to play the next match, but why didn't they call him for today's match then?
"I'll see you at the match next Sunday?" Mason asked Sophia and I waited for her answer
"yes" she said happily as she was hugging him around neck and his arms were wrapped around her waist
"hey" I turned around to face Ben
"What happened?" I asked
"They called me for the match next weekend" he said
"They did?" Mason asked
"You didn't know?" Ben asked
"No, Gareth just told us that few of guys will come for match against Scotland, but we didn't know who it is" Mason said
"I know I didn't prove myself enough, so it didn't surprise me I wasn't called up" he said shrugging
"that's not true" I said, and he looked at me
"I was on almost every training and matches last five months and you were more than hard working, you proved yourself and you deserve to be called up, yes you had ups and downs and I saw it but that is not the reason to not be call up" I said looking at him, but I heard when Mason and Sophia walked away from us
"You don't have to lie; I know the truth and it's fair enough that I wasn't called up and if I won't be call up for next matches" he said and smiled
"Are you listening to me?" I asked cupping his face
"you hard work, I saw everything, this is not fair but I know you will work even harder now and that you will be call up, you will prove yourself to everyone who don't believe in you, but know that I believe in you and I know what person you're on the pitch when you want to prove something but I also know something that no one does" I said stroking his cheek
"Why are you doing this?" he asked
"What am I doing?" I asked confused
"you're making me fall for you more and more every day" he whispered holding the side of my neck
"And you're making me mad more and more every day by not believing you deserve to be called up" I said, and he just smiled at me leaning his forehead against mine
"Would you stay for the night?" I asked
"You think that's a good idea?" he asked, and I shrugged
"They won't come out of room until late morning, so they won't know you stayed" I said
"Where would I sleep?" he asked
"On couch or on the floor in my bedroom" I said, and he looked at me raising his eyebrow
"I'm kidding" I said laughing at him as he grabbed me by waist, so our chests were pressed together
"don't joke with me" he said
"Why?" I asked
"Because I don't like when girl I love makes jokes on our relationship" he said
"The girl you..."
"The girl I love" he repeat and leaned closer to me
"We are not doing it before you become my girlfriend" he whispered as I closed my eyes ready for my first kiss but this time, he decided to joke with me
"it's late, let's go to sleep" he said taking me by hand and walking to rooms
"Which one?" he asked as I was still confused because of how he joked with me
"this" I said pointing to my room and he opened it "I'm going to take a shower" I said still confused
I took fresh clothes from my wardrobe, and I went to my bathroom that is in my bedroom.
••••••
"Can I now?" he asked, and I let him in the bathroom lying down my bed
We're not doing anythingbefore you become my girlfriend, but we needed to justkiss, boys are kissing girls they see first and last time in their lives and wehave feelings for each other, both of us knowing for that and we can't kiss.
