Securing You (Little Gathering Series)

Chapter 2 - Truth Or Dare

Aries pov

I sigh. I want to leave after the awkward moment but Deemia provoke me. I want to clear the missunderstanding but Andrew is right. I am looking at Leo. I almost screw up.

"Let the game start."

"I don't want to play." I refuse but too late, Tarnisha already drag me to sit in a circle.

How did this happen..?? Its all because of Choel unexpected suggestion. She found some bottol of beverage and start draging us to play the truth or dare.

"What are you. 5..? who play truth or dare these day." I can't contain my discomfortable and hiss on them.

"Come on Ari. We use to play these alot. Don't act innocent." Choel smirks.

"I'm not playing. I'm leaving." I raise but Tarnisha hold me.

"Come on.. lets play this before Ed get marry?"

"Yeah.. lets play before I get marry."

My eyes widen. "Ed marriage got nothing to do with these."

"Let her. The leader ia afraid." Its always Deemia.

"Just drink the beverage for punishment." Choel speaks.

I always soft toward her because she the only one know everything about me. She my true friend. She the one helping me overcome my suffering. Then I sigh and sit back in the circle.

Before Choel spin the bottle the boys join us making me flinch. Fuck.. why did they come in right now.

"We're playing truth or dare. Wanna join" I give Choel my ice glare but she ignore it. I know she did plan something.

We play the game and everytime the bottle stop I would pray not to point at me. After some round, it stop right in my direction. My luck run out.

"Truth or dare?" Choel smirks.

Cold sweat run down my face looking at Choel amuse eyes. She is so annoying that I want to hit her. Argh... I really want to hit her.

"Truth or dare?" She repeats.

"Truth."

"Gosh.. why did you pick truth. You know we'll ask you 3 question right."

"Truth is safer than dare. Who know what will you ask me to complete.. especially Choel."

"First.. Who did you look at exactly?"

Demon.. Choel is a demon. I knew it. She'll ask that question. The girls is giggling and the boys also in curious.

"Tell us Ari. Who is it?" Deemia emphasize.

"Pass." I take the bottol, open it, and drink it at once. Their eyes round open.

"You like Leo?" Deemia dumbfounded question.

My hand reach the second bottle instantly. I take it, open it, and drink it again. This is not going well. I start to feel dizzy now.

"Stop drinking." Tarnisha snatch the bottle from my hand and I wipe my mouth.

"Next." I demand.

Choel laugh. "Pick one. Austin or Leo?"

"Nice one Cho. Pick one Ari.. pick one" Eiji sound very please on the question.

"You better think seriously Ari. Each answer come with a consequence."

"Just admit it." They laugh out load.

I sink deeper in despair. They really want me to admit I am interested on Leo. I'm not intrested on him. Well, not in romance genre. Its just too complicated to explain.

"Tricky.. sneaky..heartless..runner.." I point at them one by one.

"I'm safe." Silis speaks in her small voice.

I take the third bottle and before I can drink it, Leo snatch the bottle away. I can hear they are laughing and I give each of them a cold glare. I snatch back the bottle from Leo and drink it all. Then I toss it like I'm tossing some paper.

"She's drunks." Leo got my attention.

"I'm not drunk." I push him from me to clear my way. Then I stand and walk.

"She's totaly drunk."

"Gosh.. Choel, look what have you done."

"Don't worry. She got no drunk habbit." Choel defend herself.

I keep my focus toward the door as I walk. But why is the door spining. I look up and the ceiling also spining. I turn back facing them and the room is spining too.

"Let get you rest." Tarnisha hold my arm and support me walk back toward the couch.

She sit me down and my head spining. I want to puke. Before I know it, I puke for real.

"Oh my god." Silis shout.

"She pukes on Leo" Deemia add.

"Poor Leo" Eiji comment.

I ignore them because of my bad stomach. I lower my head to puke again then feel this hard palm stroking behind my back. I look up and see Leo.

"Its all because of you." I yell right on his face.

"What did I do?" Suprisingly he speaks to me nicely.

"Fine.. I admit it. I did looked at you. So what..! Its not like I intersted on you in romance way." I yell again.

"Sorry."

"Jezz.. you are as bad as Reifan." I suddenly want to cry.

"Sorry."

"Its your fault too." I shift my view at Eiji and scream at her.

Her eyes wide open. "Why me?"

"I told you to avoid that Reifan but you didn't listen. Now you drag this man in my circle." I point at Leo with my index fingers.

"She lost it. Ignore her Leo. Its drunk talk." Eiji argue.

I lean back to the couch and the tears fall freely. I cry because my chest feel so painful all the sudden.

"She's crying."

"Totaly drunk habbit."

"Its Choel doing."

"That's funny."

"Come. Lets get you rest." I feel Choel voice wispering sweetly in my ear. She pats my shoulder and my eyes feel heavy so I close them.

"Don't go." I beg toward the flash back that playing in my view.

Slowly the view turn black and I don't remember what happen after.
