"I don't like being told what to do?" he suggested, raising his eyebrows, trying to look innocent as he smiled.

"One question in and you're flaking out on me." Mesuni tsk'd and shook her head. "Okay, since you aren't playing right, it's your turn to ask me truth or dare. And just because I don't want to stump you, my answer is truth so ask away."

"Sorry, I'm a flake." He wasn't and Mesuni knew it, but so what. "Hm. What to ask." Jamie thought about this quite seriously. "I'll be really serious for a minute because I think about this a lot. What do you want out of life?"

Mesuni was quiet for a moment, trying to think of an answer that wasn't completely ridiculous. "In the very near future I would like to win the Olympics, but more than that I want to be proud of my skating career. I want to finish college, almost there. I would like to get married and have a family, not like my parents, but actually be a family. I when I retire from skating I wouldn't mind being a teacher... I just want to be happy and have no regrets." She looked at Jamie when she was finished and gave him a look of 'is that a good answer'.

"You actually took that seriously? I'm warning you, I can get philosophical sometimes. It's rare, lucky for you." Jamie nodded at her words, appreciating that at least she didn't say something silly. "Happy and having no regrets sounds good to me. Aren't you supposed to ask me a question?" he said, flashing her a smile.

"If you ask me a question I'm going to answer it as best as I can. Dork." Mesuni smiled at his smile which made her a dork too. "Get philosophical, I really don't mind." Mesuni thought for a moment. "Hmm... What do you want out of life?"

"You're a cheater. You can't ask me the same thing I asked you." Jamie looked offended but the expression just looked silly. "Fine, then." He paused to really think about his answer, shockingly enough. "Right now? Just to be a good father to Charlotte. I just don't want to be the boring, strict single dad. Other than that, I don't know. Be a good person, have no regrets, that kind of thing. Be happy."

"I can do whatever I want," she stuck her tongue out at him. "I think you are a great father, I think Charlotte would agree. I am pretty sure you are a good person and I think you deserve to be happy if that's what you want. Your turn."

"You need to ask me something!" Jamie protested, shaking his head. "Don't you? Isn't that how this works? The only time I played truth or dare I was ridiculously drunk."

"No," Mesuni shook her head. "I just asked you what you wanted out of life, so now you have to ask me a question."

Jamie laughed. "I fail at logical thinking. Fine. What do you like about me?" He did want to know.

Mesuni actually looked surprised by his question. "You really want to know? What if I say something that's embarrassing? Fine, I'll tell you. I like you because I think you are sweet. I like watching you with Charlotte. I like watching you skate. You are smart and funny. You have a crooked smile that makes me swoon."

Jamie was glad she didn't mention much regarding how he looked, mostly because it would have reminded him of girlfriends and his ex-wife, only with him because they focused on his face instead of anything else. "Nah, nothing embarrassing," he said, smiling at her in a sort of dorky, sweet way. It was new. "It's cute."

Mesuni made a face. "Don't laugh at me." Mesuni tried not smile or blush. "Why do you like me? Yes, I know, I'm cheating."

"Because like you." Jamie liked teasing her and being cheeky with her. "You're cute, funny, you like my kid and she likes you. That's important to me. I almost went out with this one woman but Charlotte hated her, so that was a no go."

Mesuni rolled her eyes. "Is that all? You forgot to say that I am brilliant! I'm glad Charlotte likes me, I like her a lot. She's a very special little girl. And for the record I like her more than I like you. Your turn."

"Oh, great, you're ditching me for my kid?" Jamie wanted to pout but he couldn't do it. Instead, he leaned in to give her a kiss. This time it wasn't a hesitant peck on the lips, it was a real kiss.

Mesuni was about to explain to Jamie that she wouldn't ditch anyone for anyone, but then he caught her off guard and kissed her again. She was shocked for only a second, but then she kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

The night passed like that. Some talking, some more kissing, that sort of thing. Nothing improper because Jamie was a gentleman, of course. They ended up falling asleep on the couch together. How cute.
