didn't let him, I told him to move it three seconds before you came over and made a scene in front of everyone in our graduating class!"
     
    "I don't give a shit about those people."
     
    "You should, everyone in there knows our parents, what if it gets back to them, and what if they find out?" she started to panic. "If they find out about this, they'll find out about everything!"
     
    "Calm down, no one's going to find out." he leaned into her, pushing her back against the tree as he kissed her. She tried to fight him at first, but the feeling quickly overpowered her, making her knees weak and she found herself kissing him back with everything inside of her.
     
    What was it with him? How could he make her change her entire demeanor and her mind so quickly? She had to stop this!
     
    "You have to stop doing that," she snapped trying to pull away.
     
    "Never." he said pulling her mouth back to his and kissing her again.
     
    "We're supposed to stay away from each other!" she snapped, pulling her head back again.
     
    "I can't stay away from you," he said seriously.
     
    "We're enemies."
     
    "You're not my enemy," he held her face.
     
    "But our families-" she cried out in frustration, confused by her feelings.
     
    "Fuck our families," he kissed her again and she kissed him for a moment, before pulling back and looking him straight in the eyes.
     
    "I dare you to stop!" she said.
     
    "You would use it against me?" he actually looked hurt.
     
    "I don't know how else to stop you!" she cried in frustration, she needed him to stop because she would not. He looked at her then stepped back as he put out his hand, she pulled the bow from the middle of her corsage then gave it to him.
     
    "Now I have a dare for you."
     
    "What?" she asked warily.
     
    "I want one night with you," he said.
     
    "No, it's betrayal."
     
    "Fuck them, they don't care about what we want. Come on Gia, they forced this war on us!" he yelled.
     
    "Its wrong." she cried even though she knew he was right.
     
    "No, it's not wrong! You want to know what's wrong?" he was heated, his words full of hate and disgust, he grabbed her shoulders, "that I have to deny myself what I want most because of two old dead men that I never even met! I'm sick of thinking about you, you haunt my dreams, you're like a sickness to me, I can't get you out of my head!"
     
    "Maddox-"
     
    "No! I can't take any fucking more! You're driving me crazy, I want you all the time, every time I see you, do you know when you walked past me in the hall yesterday, I wanted to drag you into the bathroom and fuck you until you begged me to stop? I haven't slept in days thinking of you!" his eyes full of pain and a sadness that broke her heart, then he changed, his furious eyes burning into hers, "So I dare you, the dare of all dares," he held her face between his big hands, "Be with me tonight and forget everyone else except for me." He leaned his head against hers, his desperation written all over his face. "Please, Gia."
     
    It was exactly what she wanted, and looking at him now, feeling his passion, she needed him just as much. She was just so scared.
     
    "Do you know what will happen if we get caught?" she whispered.
     
    "They won't catch us."
     
    "I hope not." she turned away, he turned her face back to him, pleading desperately with her.
     
    "I need one night with you, we don't even have to do anything, just let me hold you, baby. I need this! I need something to remember." He held her eyes to his for what seemed like an eternity before she finally answered.
     
    "Only for tonight," she said looking around her nervously, "but I dare you to take me far away from here." He nodded, took her hand and led her to his new car. "And not let us get caught."
     
    "I accept that dare," he kissed her lips, "and I won't let us get caught."
     
    "I can't believe we're doing this," she felt the thrill of excitement shoot through her.
     
    "Don't chicken out now." he said seriously and she
