Chapter 38 : Drunk.
They spin the bottle starting the game. The bottle stop on Ryan. Kiara opens the bottle pouring it in the glasses
R: Alright bring it on.
S: 10 push-ups.
R: That's the easiest. You know I can easily do it.
S: You seriously think I'm gonna give you that easy.
R: Then.?
S: She's gonna sit on you.
She says pointing at Kiara.
R: What.??
S: Yeah.
K: Yay. Let's do it.
She stands from her place as Ryan follows. Getting on his hands he waits as she sits on his back.
R: Gosh.! You're so heavy.
A: Told you she's the big fat one.
K: Shut up.
She screams at them both. He begins with the push-ups as they all cheered. He stops halfway totally exhausted and collapses down.
R: Gosh I'm tired.
S: Do you give up.?
Al: Cmon tell us already.
R: No. Never.
He resumes his push-ups again with new energy. This time only stopping after finishing up. He then stood up with a triumphant smile. S: Well not bad. You did it.
He gives a smug look as They again Settle in their places resuming the game. The bottle spins again and stopped on Kiara this time. A: what shall we give you.?
N: She's pretty athletic. Can you do a handstand.?
K: easy peasy lemon squeezy.
She stands from her spot prepping herself as she stretched her hand and swung up on her hands doing a perfect handstand as they all clap. Al: Wow, that is so cool.
S: I know right. You go girl.!
They cheered for her as she takes her place back giving a bow. The bottle spins again stopping in Ayaan this time.
A: Ok...
S: You have to eat our special sauce.
A: What special sauce.?
She brings forth a bowl of reddish-brown sauce.
A: What is this thing.?
S: We made it ourselves.
A: Why does it look so weird.
S: It's the mixture of all the sauces including soya sauce, ketchup, chilli sauce, etc.
A: Soya sauce.? And You want me to eat it raw.???
S: of course.
He makes a disgusted face taking a spoon full bringing it closer to his mouth he looks at everyone.. Taking a small whiff he drops the spoon back into the bowl.
A: You know what. I'd rather drink this.
He says taking the glass and gobbled it down as the girls high five each other.
K: Yes... You're the first.
They play for a while as some of them did the dares assigned that included dancing on one leg. Hop on your hands and grind the pizza along with sugar and banana and drink it. While the others just chose to take a shot.
After a while, the doorbell rang and Ayaan went to open the door. He saw Neil there as he let him in.
N: Hope I didn't disturb you.?
S: No no. Please come in.
He takes Neil in towards the back door since the front was locked and he didn't have the key. They passed by them all in the garden playing as they greeted him. They recognized him from the last time he had come to meet the house staff.
Neil: Hello everyone. I think I interrupted you guys.
S: Oh no. Please join us.
Ne: No actually I'm a little busy. I just came by to meet Ayaan. I had something to discuss.
Nick: Anything important.?
Ne: Not really.
Ay: You guys continue. I'll be back in while.
He says taking Neil along. They all continue the game as the bottle lands on Sofia.
K: It's your turn again. I'll tell you what... Go kiss him.
She says pointing at Ayaan. As she scrunches her face.
S: That's absurd.
She says taking a shot instead. They were about to spin again when Aliza spoke.
Al: Gosh I'm done. I can't drink anymore. I'm off to sleep.
She stood up in her half-drunken state and went to sleep in the tent. The others then continued the game. After a few minutes, Sofia had a thought as she stood from her place moving towards the house but Kiara stopped her.
K: Hey. Where are you going.?
S: I'll be back in a few minutes.
K: Why.?
S: Just the bathroom.
K: Ok... Be quick.
S: Yeah.
She says rushing into the house. She goes towards the study assuming them to be there. The door was slight open so she stood there listening to their conversation.
Ne... I'll go there tomorrow with my team.
A: Let's just hope we find him there. I'll come among too.
N: I don't thin on that's a good idea. It might be very dangerous.
A: Maybe.. But I wanna meet the bastard who threatened my uncle myself.
N: Ok but I still suggest you stay out of sight. This is the the warehouse in-
He was cut by the sound of a phone
ringing as they both glanced towards the door where the voice
was coming from. Sofia quickly took oft the phone ringing in her pant and shut it down swearing. Ayaan opened the door to see Sofia standing there.
A: What are you doing here.?
S: I just came by to say hello.
A: Again.?
She gave a smile pushing past him.
S: How are you Mr. Neil.
N: I'm good. What about you.?
S: Me too. I just wanted to thank you. You're helping so much in my dad's case.
N: It's ok you don't need to thank me. It's my job.
S: Yeah.. So any lead.?
N: Something ab-
A: We're working on it. You don't need to worry. I'll handle everything.
He says turning her around holding her shoulders.
S: Yeah but I just wanted to know.
A: It's ok. Why don't you go down and continue the game. They must be waiting for you. I'll be there in a few minutes too.
S: Ok.
A: Ok.!
He says walking her out of the room and then closed the door behind her. She walked back to where everyone was sitting.
*The End.*
