Chapter 12

The casino was now closed and Francis was cleaning up a bit as I stood behind the bar table. There were only three other people in the bar besides me, Francis, Matthew and that annoying bloody twat of an American named Alfred.
I looked down at the shot glass that was full of whiskey, nervous slightly, "don't worry," Matthew said, "I payed for it."
"Yeah and it's only one shot of whiskey dude, not that bad." Alfred adds with a slight laugh. I sigh and lift up the shit glass, the other two do the same, "three..."
"Two..."
I sigh before saying, "one..." we all take our shot. It was unpleasant and tingled in my throat as it went down. Matthew and Alfred pour themselves more shots.
"Come on, lighten up a bit, eh?" Matthew filled up my glass again. I push it away, "just one more shot?"
"I really shouldn't. I don't drink." I tell them, staring at the glass. They look at each other then at me, I look up at them, "what?" I ask.
"Let's play a game, British dude." Alfred gave a smirk. I made a questioning look at them, "it will be fun." He smiles.
"Yes, lots of fun." Matthew agrees.
"What kind of game?" I question.
"A drinking game." Matthew pushes my glass towards me, "it's really easy."
"How do you play?" I raise an eyebrow at them and they smile at each other.
"Awesome, so we're playing?" Alfred smiles then high fives his brother.
"I never-"
"Yes, he agreed." Matthew tells him.
"Cool! Okay, this is how you play." Alfred started, "truth or dare."
"Yes but there's a catch, eh?"
"Sure is!" He speaks in a talk show voice and points at me, "tell 'em what it is Matthew!" I roll my eyes.
"If you don't do the dare you have to take a shot and if we think your lying when you pick truth-"
"you have to take a shot." They say together.
"That's right, Mattie. So..." they lean towards me over the counter and Alfred goes back to his loud, normal voice, "truth or dare?" He smirks.
"Truth, I guess?" I sigh, "isn't this I childish game to be-"
"Lame! Only wimps pick truth first." Alfred laughs lightly.
"Hey, I always do truth first..." Matthew says more quietly than he normally does.
"Besides you bro." Alfred smiles at him and pats his back then looks at me again, "are you gay?"
"What the bloody hell?! Why would you ask me that?" I straighten up, awkward.
"It's your truth, obviously." Matthew tells me. I loosen up and nod, "what did you think, eh?"
"Yeah, dude, did you think we were just going to randomly ask you that?"
"Stop calling me "dude" and no... I guess I was just shocked." I cross my arms.
"What's wrong with me calling you, dude?" Alfred asks, "I call everyone else dude too."
"It's not a real word and it's not my name."
"Oh right I forgot..." he sarcastically jokes, "anyways, answer the question."
"Yes, please answer." The Canadian leans closer and smiles then Alfred does the same. I could feel my heart racing as the two blondes stared at me smiling. I wondered why they wanted to know so badly but that wasn't the point, I had to answer whether I liked it or not. Plus I could just lie, it's not like they actually know that I am, right? Right.
"No, I'm not." I tell them casually.
"Take a shot you big liar." Alfred winks and passes me a shot.
"I'm not l-"
"Yes you are. You're totally into dudes don't even deny it. Now drink up." I sigh and take my shot, "good now it's your turn to ask one of us." I could already tell this was not going to end well.
