Ariel had expected Mike to pick one of the girls to share the bubble gum with, to be quite honest.  She was rather surprised when he chose Derrick.  She was further surprised when Mike put the entire stick in his mouth instead of politely holding just an edge between his lips or teeth.  Most guys she'd grown up with or knew in college would've bolted at the thought of taking gum from another man's mouth.  In some circles the game would've ended right there.  She was astonished then when Derrick didn't seem to give it a second thought and plunged in tongue first.<br/><br/>Ariel's hand slowly slipped off of Derrick's thigh as she watched the two men kiss.  She had to admit it was rather hot.  Though her mind was reeling with what the kiss meant.  It wasn't everyday that she saw two men kiss, especially when she didn't know either of them were sexually attracted to guys.  Maybe her initial thought with Derrick was correct?  He definitely didn't seem shy or awkward while he was kissing Mike.  Though it did end with him being embarrassed.<br/><br/>The redhead did her best to try and hide her confusion after Derrick's dare was complete.  She sipped the drink Marc had made and brought to her and tried to pretend that nothing had just happened.  It wasn't that big of a deal was it?  She'd had several gay male friends before.  None that she'd thrown herself at, but still there was always a first, right?<br/><br/>She only paid half attention to the dare Marc and Stacey were carrying out.  Her hand was still touching Derrick's thigh, if barely.  It was more firmly on the sofa and just so happened to be resting against him because she hadn't wanted to pull it away.  She still thought Derrick was hot, and that kiss, both of them, had been pretty erotic.  There were other reasons and possibilities to explain what had just occurred, weren't there?  Maybe they were both bisexual, or maybe Derrick just had a very open and refreshing look on things.  She had to conclude that if either of those possibilities were true, it opened a whole new avenue of interesting opportunities she might find the nerve to explore.
