“Let’s keep it simple. One player will have one card. The player with the biggest number can ask the one with the smallest number to pick Truth or Dare.”
The rules were simple. Even if one didn’t play it before, he could follow the rules. Rebecca gave the cards to Tinder to deal with.
Tinder was standing in the corner until this moment. He was flattered. Also, he was worried that he would be beaten up if he didn’t deal well to gather players who shouldn’t be together.
But he had to.
In the first round, a girl had the biggest number, and Waylen had the smallest.
Tinder had sweat all over his forehead. He was not a good dealer and set his master up in the first round.
Waylen gave Tinder a look. Tinder was so frightened that he shivered. He almost shoved the deck to anybody.
“Waylen, Truth, or Dare?”
The lights were dim. They hit the glasses. The warm colors were mingled with the curious looks. It became suddenly quiet. Almost everybody held their breaths.
Although Waylen didn’t come from B Country, his family held a significant status. Soon Waylen was going to marry Rebecca, the princess of B Country, bringing more royal glory to Bamford’s family.
From the century marriage between Waylen and Rebecca to a simple pub game, Waylen had all the attention on him.
Whether it was Truth or Dare, it would bring the audience’s curiosity to a new height.
Waylen stared at the cards on the table and made a less risky choice.
“Truth.”
Women were good at digging up gossip. So what they were about to ask were juicy questions. The girl who had the biggest number smiled and asked.
“Waylen, to whom did you lose your v.i.r.g.i.nity?”
They all burst out laughing. This was the must-ask question in Truth or Dare. Everyone was ready to let the juicy gossip in when Waylen would answer it.
Waylen’s first time?
Leilani thought about this one. Before she found she was poisoned, she seduced him many times by lying on the bed n.a.k.e.d. But she always ended up being kicked off. For a while, she even thought Waylen was gay or incompetent.
She finally realized Waylen only got aroused by the woman he was attracted to after he almost had s.e.x with her every day. He was not incompetent.
Who was Waylen attracted to?
Did he have s.e.x with Diana?
Although Waylen told Leilani he only had s.e.x with her, she couldn’t believe him.
There were so many questions buzzing in Leilani’s mind, coupled with the talking others were having. Some said it was a tough question, especially in front of Rebecca. Others bet that Waylen wouldn’t tell the truth.
Rebecca glanced at the girl who asked the question with disgust. It was such a stupid question.
But she had to smile no matter what she thought in her mind.
“How about we change to Dare?”
But Waylen’s voice almost came at the same time. He picked up the card with his long fingers from the table. But his view landed on Leilani, who sat across him. He answered with a deep voice.
“17th February with the woman of my life.”
Leilani’s heart shivered. All the discussions were blocked out. She suddenly felt it so hard to keep breathing. Waylen remembered the exact date. But another voice in her mind asked her to keep calm.
There was another possibility. Maybe by any chance, he had s.e.x with Diana on the same day.
Diana was the woman of his life. Or why was he willing to do anything for her?
Rebecca’s look was turned. It was okay that he didn’t have the first s.e.x with her. But Waylen remembered the exact date. Who was the other woman?
Rebecca wasn’t bothered if Waylen was a v.i.r.g.i.n. She was not anyway.
But Waylen could say the date, which suggested that that day was in his memory for good.
He even said it was the woman of his life.
She looked at Leilani with hatred. Would it be her?
But according to what was told to her, Waylen never liked Leilani after they got married. Things changed until after Leilani drugged Waylen to have s.e.x with her. From then, Waylen fell in love with her.
So it couldn’t be Leilani.
It was the only way to make Rebecca feel better. As long as it wasn’t Leilani who took Waylen’s first, it didn’t matter who.
“Rebecca, didn’t you and Waylen go way back? Is it you?”
“Rebecca, I so envy you. Most men left after they were satisfied. Who would remember the date? Do you?”
There was no exception. Every man’s answer was negative.
The girls couldn’t help getting jealous of Rebecca and her wonderful boyfriend.
But Andrew smiled.
“Did you say 17th February?”
He smiled bitterly. He first met Leilani on 13th March, a month after Waylen and Leilani. It was just a month late, but it felt a whole lifetime.
He was late. So he couldn’t be the man of Leilani’s life.
“Why are you smiling?” Andrew’s smile was abrupt and made Leilani creepy.
“I’m laughing because a beautiful flower was wasted on a pig.”
“Pig?” Leilani sneered, “what do you pigs have in common?”
“We’re all men.”
“You’re all animals,” Leilani shook her head.
Leilani kept explaining in case Andrew didn’t understand.
“He called you a chicken behind your back. You called him a pig. Don’t you both are animals?”
“He called me a chicken?” Andrew bit his tongue, and his jaws were cracking. Soon he thought of something and smiled flirtatiously.
“Even so, I’m a superior kind than he is.”
Leilani was speechless. Was this really necessary?
The great start certainly warmed up the rest of the game.
The game continued. Tinder did his best at being a dealer.
Leilani frowned. Her cards were good in the first rounds. But her good luck ran out. She looked down, and it was two of diamonds. This should be the smallest number
The one with the biggest number, for now, was James.
Waylen and Rebecca kept their cards on the table and didn’t look at them.
Waylen saw Leilani’s card. He had this annoyingly determined smile. But after Rebecca looked at hers, the situation changed.
Waylen had 12 of hearts, and Rebecca had K of the club. Rebecca’s card was one number more than 12.
It was obvious who won the right to ask “Truth or Dare” in this round.
Rebecca looked at Leilani’s card and held her hands against her jaws.
“It looks like my luck was fine.”
This combination aroused the gossip fire. They already heard how Leilani was Rebecca’s sister and her fiance’s ex. Their relationship seemed complicated. They wondered how they got on.
“I heard Leilani is Waylen’s ex. So Waylen has his fiancee and his ex-wife. The show is great,” someone said.
“Don’t they say Rebecca was the home wrecker?”
“Rebecca is the princess. How could she get involved in their marriage?”
They have kept their voices down. But Rebecca still heard everything. She was gloating that she drew the card with the biggest number. But she turned unhappy, hearing how she became the other woman in Waylen’s first marriage.
“Why did you divorce my fiance?”
Leilani sat on the sofa. Rebecca stressed that Waylen was her finance. So she asked the question to let Leilani tell everyone that she wasn’t the other woman.
All were expecting her answers, including Waylen.
Waylen still couldn’t figure out Leilani’s sudden change. The last moment Leilani kept seducing him with all the moves she got, but the next second she was so ruthless to divorce him. At first, Waylen thought it was a trick until they really got divorced…
Leilani’s sweet smile with languishing got deeper. In their four years of marriage, Waylen never felt Leilani let him in her mind. She had the everlasting enigma on her that had a deadly attraction to him.
Leilani looked back at Rebecca and said.
“I choose Dare.
Out of everyone’s surprise, Leilani decided not to answer.
Rebecca had to hold back her dissatisfaction. She wanted to prove her innocence by letting Leilani answer the question. But Leilani wouldn’t. If she chose to Dare, she would think of something fun to have her do.
Rebecca squinted and raised up her jaw.
“Are you sure?”
“Don’t you want me to go, Dare?”
“I’m afraid you don’t want to do what I ask of you.”
Leilani smiled because of Rebecca’s directness.
“If you don’t say, I don’t know.”
Rebecca squeezed the card as hard as she could and threw it on the table.
“Do you know how to lap dance? I want you to lap dance to the man sitting across you.”
Right across, Leilani? She looked up, and the man was…
