Chapter Twenty Nine – Serenity

~Vaughn's POV~

'For the first game, it's called the Card relay. Kindly form two groups but your partner should be right next to you. Boy-girl sequence guys. Each team should use their lips to transfer one card at a time to the next person. You know the drill. The gang with the most number of cards on the plate, wins. You only have two minutes. Line up first.'

I took the liberty to organize our team. No one seemed to disagree with my arrangement. My partner and I were the last pair.

'Time starts now!' the emcee squealed.

Fortunately, we've been doing great for the first few cards. The guys ahead of me were so focused on the task. Every card that landed on my buddy's lips was carefully placed on the plate.

I felt distracted as I noticed that some pairs accidentally drop the card and their lips collided. I observed that my partner was panicking too and her cheeks began to be pinkish. Everyone is clapping their hands at the same time taking videos of those moments. It's getting hot in here. Sweat starts to form on my head. This was the longest two minutes of my life.

Thankfully, we won the first game and eliminated the other team. I was thinking what will happen if the card between my partner and I fell to the ground. I shrugged the thought.

'Whoa. I need a fan here!' said the host laughing. 'For the second game, you will fight the other pairs on a paper dance game.'

I'm loving these games.

I asked my partner if she's still okay using my hands. She nodded at me. I winked at her and she diverts her eyes to the emcee.

'Hit it!' The music kicked off as the host commanded.

Side steps will be common for this game. I really don't know how to dance. But amazingly my partner does. She sways gracefully at the tune. I'm so mesmerized by her.

The club and the young lady, I remember suddenly.

Is she...?

The music stops. I was distracted but relieved when she nudged me. I smoothly support her balance as we stepped inside the A4 size paper. That was close.

After the second fold, I'm thinking what's the good position will be beneficial for us. We successfully got through the second fold. The last one will be the hardest.

I'm looking at her steadily as I follow the melody. The music halts.

Dang.

~Heart's POV~

I knew Ruth participated on the inception of these games. I heard her telling her partner about the next challenges. 

Wait, I heard her talk! Where's their facilitator?

Well, it doesn't really matter. I'm kinda enjoying the night though. I don't know if I will commend her or castigate her about this kind of games. I felt my face being rosy the whole time because of my partner.

I smell his aftershave cologne. His broad shoulders are to die for too. I shuddered the thought away. I got distracted again when he winked at me. I diverted my attention.

Focus Heart.

The last level of the paper game is very hard. Little space for both of us.

What's the best strategy here?

When the music stopped, I felt his arm circled around my waist and the other lifted my thighs. I almost yell at his action.
