Nick slouched on the couch, his head lolling to one side as he fought to keep his eyes open. Babysitting his five-year-old neighbor, Kaylee, was turning out to be a lot harder than he’d anticipated. She was a sweet kid, but watching her play with her dolls was about as exciting as watching paint dry.
Kaylee, blissfully unaware of Nick’s drowsiness, continued to chatter to her plastic companions, her high-pitched voice a soothing backdrop to the otherwise quiet house.
With a groan, Nick reached for his phone, hoping a game or two would help him stay awake. But his eyes kept closing, his head nodding forward until he jerked himself awake with a start.
“Hey, Kaylee,” he said, his voice thick with sleep. “You wanna play a game or something? Maybe it’ll help me stay awake.”
Kaylee looked up from her dolls, her eyes lighting up with excitement. “Okay! We can play Truth or Dare.”
Nick raised an eyebrow, amused by her suggestion. “Truth or Dare, huh? And who gets to go first?”
Kaylee grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “I do, of course. Okay, Nick, Truth or Dare?”
Nick shrugged, figuring it would be a harmless game. “Dare.”
Kaylee’s grin widened as she looked him up and down. “I dare you to lick my toes.”
Nick stared at her, certain he’d misheard her. “Uh, what?”
Kaylee pointed to her tiny feet, wiggling her toes enticingly. “My toes, silly. Lick them.”
Nick’s face turned beet red as he hesitated, unsure of what to do. But Kaylee was his responsibility, and he didn’t want to disappoint her. With a deep breath, he leaned forward and gently brushed his tongue against her tiny toes.
Kaylee giggled, her laughter ringing through the room. “No, no, Nick. Like this.” She grabbed his hand and guided it to her foot, showing him how to lick her toes properly.
Nick’s face grew even redder, but he continued to follow her instructions, trying to keep his promise. He couldn’t believe he was actually licking a five-year-old’s toes, but Kaylee seemed to be enjoying it.
After what felt like an eternity, Kaylee pulled her foot away, still giggling. “Okay, your turn, Nick. Truth or Dare?”
Nick shook his head, trying to clear the image of Kaylee’s toes from his mind. “Dare.”
Kaylee looked thoughtful for a moment before grinning wickedly. “I dare you to lick my hand.”
Nick stared at her, certain she was joking. But her expression was serious, and he knew he couldn’t back down now. With a deep breath, he leaned forward and gently brushed his tongue against her hand.
Kaylee giggled again, her laughter infectious. “Good job, Nick. Okay, your turn again. Truth or Dare?”
Nick sighed, knowing he was in for a long night. “Dare.”
Kaylee’s grin widened as she looked him up and down. “I dare you to lick my arm.”
Nick’s eyes widened as he realized where this was heading. “Whoa, whoa, Kaylee. I don’t think we should play this game anymore. It’s getting a little… weird.”
Kaylee pouted, her lower lip sticking out in a cute little pout. “But I’m having so much fun, Nick. Please?”
Nick sighed, knowing he couldn’t say no to her. “Fine. But just your arm, okay? Nothing else.”
Kaylee nodded eagerly, holding out her arm for him to lick. Nick hesitated for a moment before gently brushing his tongue against her skin.
As he pulled away, Kaylee giggled again, her laughter echoing through the room. “Thanks, Nick. That was fun.”
Nick shook his head, still in disbelief over what had just happened. “Yeah, fun. Definitely fun.”
He glanced at the clock, realizing he still had several hours left before her parents got home. With a groan, he leaned back against the couch, knowing it was going to be a long night.
