The Secret

Chapter 16

"It wasn't Dean.."

Team was even more confused. Drawing his brows closer, his mind drifted away. If it wasn't Dean, then who? Did he just whore himself around that night? As far his memory can remember, it was only Dean who was with him that particular time.  It was only Dean who looked after him. He couldn't recall anyone..

Wait.

Wait.

The rude long hair guy was there too. He almost forgot about him, well to be honest Team wanted to forget him, his mind could list a number of reasons why it was better to wipe him out of his memory. Moreover, Team was certain the guy didn't want anything to do with him. On the other hand, if Win was telling the truth then the possibility of Team kissing that good-for-nothing guy was tremendous. He could vaguely affirm Win's physique was close to that guy. Team was appalled at where his thoughts were going.

No.

No.

It can't be.

Team thought it was better to question Win so he would stop with all of his assumptions. "Are you kidding me? "

"No. "

Win was dead serious based on his tone this time yet face full of mischief, it was indeed puzzling Team even more. It was difficult to fathom Win's stance. Team was close to hitting Win. "Then who? "

"Would you believe if I say it was me? " Win whipped his head towards Team, his expressions switched. Win's face donned a stern look yet the tone he used was like goading the latter.

"N-no. "

In the dark, Team saw Win's cheek moved — he smiled before turning away and said a matter-of-factly.  "Then forget I said it. "

Team miffed, he didn't want to let it go since his curiosity was piqued already. If it was really true, a part of him was going to feel relieved if it wasn't Dean cause he didn't have to carry the guilt over his head whenever Pharm's around. On the other hand, he didn't want his first kiss to have no face in his memory. "I remember Dean was with a friend.."

"I'm a friend of his. " Win interrupted, trying to make a point.

Team donned a smug look, "That friend of his was a jerk, "

Win grunted loudly, "Well, I can't deny that. Thank you for the compliment."

Team smashed him with a pillow, not restraining any ounce of his strength. Win was caught off-guard so he curled in a fetal position as he hissed in pain.

"Be serious, will you? "

Win chuckled, "I am."

Team was about to hit him again but halt himself. Win wasn't denying it. Was he really serious?

"We kissed? " the question slipped out of his mouth unconsciously, Team wasn't really ready for the answer.

"Do you want a reenactment of that kiss? " Win pursued his teasing.

"No! No! It wasn't you. You're just pulling my leg. " Team still refused to believe Win. He couldn't be. Team was torn between not wanting to admit that it might be really Win and Win was just fooling around, he's probably pranking Team.

Team forced himself to believe the latter. He heard Win chuckled out loud — neither admitting nor denying to anything. Team was reluctant to pry deeper. He suddenly didn't want to know, at least for now.

"My turn? " Win seemed to have sense Team's reluctance, asked instead.

Team sighed, still wary to let the matter go nodded.

"Do you like me? "

Team's thick brows flicked up in an instant, how dare this assuming guy to even ask. "No. "

"How much? "

Team smirked, "I said, no. "

"How much do you not like me? " Win repeated, laced with impishness.

Team's corner of his mouth perked up, "Let's just say, if I have a gun with two bullets and we're in a room with two zombies. I'd shoot you twice. "

"Wow! You're so sweet, aren't you? " spiked with sarcasm, Win replied.

Team laid on his back, satisfied at taunting Win. "You can say that again. So, my turn? "

"Fire away! "

Team didn't think much about his next question, as a matter of fact, he ran out of it to ask so he copied paste Win's unconsciously. "Do you like me?

To Team's surprise, Win answered. "Dare. "

"Hey, it's answerable by yes or no. You can even lie unless.. " Team trailed as he snickered.

"Dare. " Win insisted without further words.

Team's eyes sparkled with false innocence, a mischievous smile was on his lips. "You like me. Am I right? "

"I say, you're not wrong."

Team's smile faded out at once, eyes widened. He was unwilling to believe Win. He probed. "You like me? "

"Dare. " Win repeated, leaving Team with no answer.

Team heaved a deep sigh, he thought of not taking Win's words seriously since the latter had somewhat made it a goal to annoy him. "Okay, let's switch. Me on the bed, you down here. "

Win sat up, sliding his both his feet down the floor. He asked with a slight amusement in his tone. "This is your purpose in playing this game, right? To sleep on the bed? "

Team got up and picked the pillows to switch places with Win brushing the latter's shoulder in the process. Feigning ignorance as he laid on the bed comfortably. "I don't know what you are talking about. " to sway Win, afraid he was caught, he urged. "Go ahead, and ask. "

Win thought for a moment, "Did you like the kiss? "

Team weighed the question in his mind, it was a double edged sword one. If he says yes, then if it was really Win whom he kissed that night, it would inflate his ego. Moreover, there was no way Team would admit that he liked it. Did he really? Never mind. If he says no, Win would never believe it thinking he just didn't want to admit.

"Dare. "

Win's laughter reverberated in the room soon after. He asked no further questions yet his laugh carried a lot of weight as if telling Team he knew better. It was pissing Team off.

"So what's the dare? "

"Take off two of whatever article of clothing you are wearing. Let your boyfriend see your body." Win conveyed tauntingly at once as if he already knew what he was going to dare in the first place.

"But I'm only wearing three.." Team groaned to complain as he sat up, raising his bum up to take off his shorts before pulling up his top leaving him with only his boxers on. Well, he's gotta do his end of the bargain.

Win snorted, in his mind, Team should fuss over calling him boyfriend yet he didn't. "You're missing the point, honey."

Team's cheeks reddened as it dawned on him. "Whatever." He yawned and hid himself under the covers to conceal his embarrassment. "I'm sleeping. Silent your phone or turn it off. I'm a light sleeper."

"What if someone who's head over heels with me would booty call me later?" Win rebutted at once.

"Don't worry, there's none. "

Win didn't hold back with his laughter. Team's corner of his lips curved into a smile as he closed his eyes.
