Till The End

Chapter 42 - Truth Or Dare?

We sit in circle with a small wooden table at the center where the glass bottle is kept. All are not joining the game since some are really tired and taking rest in their tents. It's me , Jim, Emi, Winnie, Rochelle, Keith, Sarah, Tacker, Sam, Jia and Jack only. Sam rotates the bottle and the first one is Jack. He takes truth to which Sarah asks, "How many relations you had before?" Well, I guess Rochelle must be the most curious one to know this since she's biting her nails continuously before Jack finally answers,"5" and brushes his hair.

"Great man", Sam chuckles, "I guess soon you'll be in your sixth one', he points towards Rochelle making us all grin wide. The bottle rotates again and the next person is Winnie and she chooses truth.
"Have you been in love with anyone?" Sarah immediately asks her. God, this was not supposed to happen. I wonder what she might be feeling right now.

Winnie stays silent for a while but finally answers, "Yes and that was bad luck", she just gives a minimal smile. I turn to Jim and we both know the person of whom she talking about. "Anyway leave it. Let's continue." I'm glad they did not push it any further asking about the guy or anything. Winnie looks at me with a smile or her face which she adorned to hide her pain and I can feel that.

Sam rotates the bottle and this time it points Tacker and he chooses dare. "Well, kiss Emi in front of us", I immediately blurt to which earns me a shocking look from all, "What?" I question.

"Nothing", Sam replies, "Tacker you have to do it or get ready for the punishment", well the punishment is to eat 6 jalapenos which is a tough job since these are too much spicy to even explain. I guess none of us dares to eat that thing.

"Okay I'm doing", he gushes and goes near Emi while she keeps blushing. As she stands up he holds her face and there he goes! "Wooooo", we all shout at the sight of them kissing in front of us.

The bottle rotates again and this time it points Me!  I wonder which one to pick but I guess truth we'll be a safer option. "I'll ask her question", Jia raises hand, "So, are you a virgin?" 

"What?" I immediately blurt out the words narrowing my temple. She shouldn't have asked this but I see the person beside me is more curious to know this since he's just staring at me hoping to find any answer.

"Yes", I reply facing Jim as he's continuously staring at me and finally lets out a sigh.

"I knew this since this is the first time you fell in love", Jia gushes. The bottle rotates and this time it's Jim! Well that's a pretty nice coincidence again.

"Wooooo. Both together. I'll ask", Jia says again since he chooses truth, why do I feel she's gonna ask the same question. "Are you virgin?" All starts laughing hard as soon as she throws the question. This time I stare at him while he replies looking into my eyes, "Yes". I don't know why but I'm actually feeling happy. "It's obvious since bro hasn't been in love before", Sam reminds all. " But you both should think about it. I mean you are not child anymore", Rochelle winks at us. What does she mean!

The next person is Sam and he picks up dare. I knew he would chose this. "You have to prank call Miss.Henry and say flirty stuffs to her", Emi dares him and we all are like what! Dude, this one is gonna be fun also I'm afraid if anything goes wrong. Sam has a crush on Miss.Henry because of her super hot lips with looks more bold whenever she goes for some wine red matte lipstick , also she's not married yet so I guess it won't be a problem. "Okay, I'll do this", he sounds confident.

He dialed her number and she picks up sounding sleepy. He holds the phone in speaker, "Hey honey", Oh no. Did he really really call her that!

"Who?"

"Don't you remember me?". "He acts really well", I mutter to Jim. "Indeed", he replies.

"Who are you?" Her voice comes out more conscious now.

"There's nothing in my name. I want you to know that you are really hot baby", shit! I hope hope Miss.Henry doesn't find this out. We are actually a bit far away from the tent area. We lit fire beside us to keep warm since it's getting colder. 

"What are you bluffing? Who are you?" She sounds irritated.

"Your secret admirer", and he immediately hangs up letting out his breathe while we all laugh to the fullest. "Block her number. She might call you back", I suggest which he follows. "This was the best part of today", Keith claps at him and we join. Indeed he has guts. I can't deny that we actually had fun. In fact a lot of fun. It's been late we have been playing this game, we should better go for sleep as we'll have to wake up early tomorrow. No one had to eat jalapenos since everyone tried their best to remain honest and avoid burning their mouth eating those.

.  .  .

It's almost 8 in the morning, it's snowing, as I step out my tent I find the grasses are now covered with snow. "Yayyyyyyy", I spread out my arms feeling the cold wind piercing into my skin giving cold creeps all over my soul. I just love snowfalls! The north wind comes rushing over the gazing rocks which are covered with snow. No wonder why it felt much colder all on a sudden. "What are you doing?" Jim comes from behind.

"See, snowfall!"

"I can see that", he gushes.

"I loveeeee snowfall. Don't you?"

"Yeah. Kind of". But this is not gonna be a problem since our camping for here is over as we'll head for our inn after having breakfast. Well we can't cook in open air today. "Eila. Jim", Mrs.Kate comes out of her tent. "I got the news of a storm heading soon today. We'll leave in an hour. Gather everyone and inform. Make the breakfast in my tent, just go for simple toast and eggs. We don't have much time."

"Sure. I'll go and inform everyone", Jim and I wake everyone up and infrom about the coming storm. Soon after we jointly prepare the breakfast. After all's over, packing things back, we head for our inn. The jacket along with the clothes beneath this are failing to keep us warm right now. We have been hiking for almost 40 mins. We are almost there. I wonder the storm won't be too dangerous.

"Did they mention about any fixed time?" Jim questions.

"No maybe. I don't know. Mrs.Kate just told it's hitting today".

"I hope we can make it on time to our inn".

"We're almost there". After more 20 minutes we finally reach. God! That was a narrow escape.

"Guys, no one should go out today. It'll be really dangerous. We are at the North Appalachians and storms are not a easy thing here. So stay inside the inn", Collin instructs everyone. I guess the storm is gonna be pretty strong today. 

(Well well well. I finally made up my mind to go for intimate parts. Stick to find out what's gonna happen next :')  Don't forget to vote.)
