Creating Memories

Chapter 9

"So you all know the rules. You have to say a dare for at least 1. It will be a short game as we need to go back to the hotel by 7:00pm. Dinner would be at 8:00pm."

Marco groaned with his arms crossed on the chest and said. "Can we start now or we will never get back by 7?"

Alex threw a small tree branch at Marco which he dodged at ease. "Okay, grumpy one. I will start. Hayley, truth or dare?" Alex wiggled his eyebrows and nudged Hayley's shoulders.

"Dare!" She smirked as she looked into Alex's eyes with confidence. She stood up and crossed her arms against her chest and tilt her head to the side. Slightly mocking Alex.

"Well, so brave there. I dare you to put on a blindfold and guess who that person you touching is." He mirrored Hayley's pose.

"And where do I have to touch?" She raised one of her eyebrows and stared into Alex's eyes intently.

"The feet." Hayley's eyes widen at Alex's reply. The boys were screaming in happiness and shouting about payback. But the girls and I were all frowning for Hayley. That was not fair. We just asked them to give us a piggyback. But a dare was a dare.

Sorry, Hayley. We won't be able to save you.

"Fine." Alex had a small blue towel in his hands. He stood behind Hayley and placed the towel on her eyes. Covering the view. He tied a knot and tightened it gently so he would not hurt Hayley. He then motioned Ashton to come forward with a small smirk on his face.

My brother was always the troublemaker and a meanie. Even with his free spirit attitude. Since young along with Ashton, they would pranked both Hayley and I. They always succeed and if we retaliate, they came back stronger.

Ashton took off his sandals and brought his right foot up near Hayley. She was not smiling at all. Alex put his hands on hers and guided them onto Ashton's foot.

Ewww.... Even if I was his girlfriend, I would never touch his feet and I would never let him touch mine. It was just disgusting. I pretend to puke without a sound with my hand on my stomach and my head facing the sandy floor.

Hayley flinched as soon as she touched his foot. She put her hands on them again. Rubbing it, feeling it. But did it all with a frown on her face.

When she was nearly done, she grabbed the foot and twisted it slightly until the owner of the foot, Ashton, groaned in pain.

"Ashton, it is." Hayley laughed and dropped the foot of her little brother's. She snatched off her blindfold and smirked at Ashton's pain. He was grabbing his right foot with his hand. Like in a chicken sparring pose. Glaring at his sister while in the inside, I was sure all girls were laughing including me.

"Hay, you suck." Ashton glared at her while Hayley just sat back down, ignoring her brother's glares.

"My turn!" She pointed at the still injured Ashton who just went back to his seat beside mine. "Truth or dare, Ashton?"

"Truth."

"You're going soft, Ashton." She said it in a sarcastic way. When Hayley was comfortable with someone, she was a totally different person than her shy one.

"Will you get married with Elise in the future?" I felt my cheeks getting hotter, possibly redder. I started to fan myself with my hands. Looking everywhere but Ashton and the others. As I knew that, currently, Ashton was staring at me. Why was the weather so hot today?

"Yes, if she will." I heard whistles, shrieks and claps while I buried my face in my hands in embarrassment.

"We have only been dating for a few hours." I mumbled in a small voice into my hands, hoping no one would hear.
