"Ok! Let's play", Shelly joins. 

"Then, listen to the rules everyone. If you lose you must drink alone if you win all must drink along, Hahaha!!!", Max explains the rules while laughing.

"Then let's go," Richie says by taking an empty bottle. He spins the bottle on the table, it points at Chris.   

"Hey!  It's you, Chris bro. Truth or dare?" Asks Richie.

"Truth. No, wait. I go with dare." Chris replies.

"Then, I'll give you dare. I have been observing since I have entered the bar, that hot lady behind our table maybe my lady Gloria Glad. So get me her number." Richie insists on Chris as a dare.

"She?" Chris points her with his eyes and asks.

"Yes, bro", Richie folds his hands.

We boost him, "Come on, Chris. You can". He gets two glasses of drink and goes to her.

"Hello! My lady. Waiting for someone?", Chirs offers her drink and sits beside her. He uses his twinkling eyes to win her. He leans on the table smoothly to talk with her in close.

"Hi! Handsome. Thanks for the drink", she shows her interest on Chris by fingering on his face. "Tell me, What do you want from me?"

Chris holds her hand, "You are looking so beautiful. Your eyes, melting me like hot chocolate. Your nose is not less than a candy. Your lips tempting me like a sandwich. Your cheeks calling me like yummy cheese. Your hands seem like rich sponge cake. You totally look like neatly designed dish."

She mildly smiles and flicks her hand from Chris, "I understood what do you want? I'll request my husband to hire you as a chef at our new restaurant."

We explode in laughter. He comes back with his downcast eyes. "Drink! Drink! Drink!" we shriek at him. He drinks and challenges Richie to accomplish the task. Richie didn't offend and simply accepted the challenge. He plucks a rose from a fully furnished flower vase near to him.

"Can I disturb the world's gorgeous girl just to say hello?"

"Sure, hottie", she winks at him and grabs him to sit beside her. We all amazed "Ohhhhh!!!", but Chris drops his mouth with astonishment.

"Haha! You better think before you give him task, Chris." I mock him.

"Yeah! Senior. I just forgot for a second that he's such a great flirt in this world." Chris states in the mood-off tone.

In the meantime, Richie returns with triumph. "Yeahhhh! I got her number. But she don't deserve to be my Gloria. Need her number, Chris?"

"Never mind." Chris rolls his eyes while crossing hands.

"Haha! I won, so have a shot", commands Richie.

"Let's everyone have a shot, cheers", Max gives cheers and we have a shot. Richie spins the bottle again, now it points me.

"Oh! It's your turn, bro. Truth or Dare?", asks Richie. I answer as, "Truth".

"Let me handle,"says Max and turns at me to ask. "We knew that she proposed you first. But, When did she proposed? How? And what makes you accept her?"

"Wow! Max Bro. I have been had this doubt from a long time." Richie expresses his curiousity.

"Yes! We want to know," Chris gazes intently at me.

"On the day, I have come across her when I was working at a random job. She was helping a little girl, fixing her cycle chain, and later dropped her safely on the other side of the road. Later, I came to know that she was a colleague of mine. We slowly become friends. She never missed my mom's death ceremony, in fact, helped me in providing rites to her. Later, I changed my job and lost contact. Once after becoming CEO of the Fairy products company, she met me and confessed at Church to marry her. I took some time to accept her. I gave a thought to myself once. Even she has nothing, how generous and true she is, from the heart. So I decided to give a chance."

"Ooooo! So sweet, Nick bro", praises Richie and spins the bottle by uttering "Me! Me!". But it stops at Dany. "I go with truth", replies Dany. 

"Hey! Dany. It's you." Max thrills and tries to ask him. Then Richie interrupts Max and mutters with him, "Max bro, wait. I need to get the truth out of him."

"Ok! Go on, Richie", Max passes the chance to Richie.

"Dany bro! Who is your secret crush?", asks Richie.

Dany coughs and stare at me for a second.

"What are you staring at me, Dany? Say out." I boost him. 

Dany swallows and replies, "Uh! Ummm... She..." He coughs again and sets his throat. "Uhhh! I......I can't", he takes a quick shot as he has failed to reveal her name.

"Oh! Come on, bro. It's not fair. We all knew who she is? You are lagging the matter", frustates Richie on Dany. We all giggle at Dany. Now, Chris spins the bottle, it stops at Shelly.

"Oh! Come on, man why is it not stopping at me." Richie feels upset and leans back.

"Let me ask her", says Max, "Tell me Shelly, what makes you love, Nick?"

Shelly is telling, "Well! I like his integrity, style, looks...." then, "Money?" mutters Max. Shelly feels a little awkward and takes a gulp but plainly says, "What? No. I mean, he is mine, anyway." She concludes with laugh and drinks. We all take another shot. Max understands her intention from her answer.  

Chris spins the bottle. "Me! Me! Me!", Richie curiously saying by crossing his fingers. It stops at Max. "Oh! God." Richie feels upset again.

"Oh! It's Max turn", says Chris. Max says, "Dare".

"Let me, but truth please", asks Shelly to take revenge on him. Max agrees.

"Do you have any secrets from Nick?"

"Secrets? No way. But I need to reveal someone else secret as quickly as I can. Cause being with a worthless person is non- nutritious to him", he smartly answers and takes the drink by telling, "Cheers". 

Shelly exhibits her wrath through her looks by squeezing the glass in her hand. Next comes Dany again. Richie gives him a task to talk without closing your mouth. "How can we talk without closing our... our m... m..." Dany tries to not close his mouth.

"Not 'our m.. m...', it's 'mouth'. Speak out, Dany bro. Hahaha..", Richie gives high-five to Chris. 

We laugh at him. It continous like that. And we all almost drenched in holy alcohol. After a few turns, finally, bottle points Richie.  

Dany questions him, "Hey! Dimwit..... Have you thought anythingggg about ourrr project? Orrrrr waiting to loseeee track of time? "

"Of courseeee! I will beat the clock. I alrrready succeded for an extant thrrrrough my experiment of double eyed drrrone."

"Oh! Goddd. He started againnn", Dany rests his head on the table.

"Sssso, I thought to imprrroviseeee it in a fairrryy doll. Which helps the Kidzzz........" 

No one concentrated at his talk cause already we are pissed. Max and Chris managed to drop Dany and Richie. And I drop Shelly at her house.

"Shelly? Get down and go inside." I wake the drunken Shelly.

"Nick babe! I love youuuu. I don't want to leave you and go anywhere", she grabs me to hug.

"Love you too. But, it's nowhere, just your house. Take rest for today and come back to see me tomorrow." I drag out her hands to come out from her tight grip and gave a sendoff kiss on her cheek. She too gives me a kiss on my cheek and head into her house. Then, I come back to my room and lie on the bed.

 Then, I come back to my room and lie on the bed
