"Truth."
"Huh?" I looked over at Elysa, having only half heard what she said. I'd been driving for about an hour without much conversation, enjoying the music and the scenery.
"Truth!" she repeated. "You know, as in 'Truth or Dare.' I thought it'd make these long drives more interesting... we can't always be daring each other. So, Truth. Ask me something."
"Alright, let me think." She caught me off-guard with the idea and I scrambled to think of a provocative question.
"Oh quit overthinking. There's no bad questions. Just ask me anything to get the game going!"
"Fine." I said, and tossed out the first question that came into my head. "When did you lose your virginity?"
"Really?" she sighed.
"Hey, you said no wrong questions!"
"I know.. I.." she paused. "It's just a little embarrassing for me."
"What were you like, 12?" I joked.
She hit my shoulder. "Ew, no!" then, after a moment, she answered quietly. "twenty-two."
"What's embarrassing about that?" I asked.
"It's so - late! It was like, two years ago." she shifted in her seat.
"What'd you grow up super religious or something?"
"No it's nothing like that. I wanted to. More than anything. God, I was such a horny teen. Just, I was a really shy kid. We moved around a lot for my dad's work and I never made many close friends in school. Then, when I went away to college..." she trailed off. "It took a while to catch on, ok? Let's just move past it."
"Okay, okay." I relented. "Didn't mean to embarrass you, I was just curious! Plus, you've certainly made up for lost time!" I playfully poked at her pierced nipple.
"Har har" she rolled her eyes.
"Alright, my turn. Truth!"
"Tell me a fantasy you have that I don't know about." She asked so immediately, I had to imagine she'd thought up a few questions before starting the game.
