<strong>Chapter 448. An Exciting Night with Two Girls Outside the City: ying a Risky Game. (2/4)</strong>
<span style="font-weight:400">I wanted to scream, but I kept my poker face up since I couldn’t show any openings or signs of weakness now that Dawn was going to take this seriously.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright then, since I went first I’ll pick who’s next. Ran, I choose you, truth…” she paused as an impish gleam shed through her eyes before she continued, “or dare?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Dare.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh? How bold of you to pick dare~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha, yeah…” Like I had a choice.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I wonder what I should dare you to do~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“You sound like you’re enjoying this too much.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I am~ hmhmhm~, let’s see, I dare you to… take off your shirt.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What’re you making me strip for now?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I thought it was only fitting. Since that was my first dare, might as well continue the trend. You can always pick truth like I did if you can’t do it. I’m actually much more interested in you picking truth after all.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Like hell I can pick that.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, she’s right, yuh can just pick truth,” Dawn concurred,pletely clueless about the 4D chess game going on in the background.
<span style="font-weight:400">I removed my shirt without thinking about it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“W-What’d yuh seriously go and remove it for? Yuh coulda just picked truth like Rosa!”
<span style="font-weight:400">Dawn covered her eyes with her right hand but cracked open a small gap between her index finger and middle finger to discreetly sneak a peek.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m no coward. If I pick dare, I do the dare without hesitation. Same for truth. But as a true man, dare is the only option.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hehehehe, well said~ As expected of my boyfriend, he’s so manly~ don’t you think so too, Dawn~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“So he was the true perverted closet exhibitionist all along…” Dawn mumbled as she plopped down on the bed beside Rosa.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m no exhibitionist. Dawn, your turn, truth or dare?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? What? Me? Already?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Who else? You’re the only one who hasn’t gone yet.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Oh… right… In that case… d-d… truth…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What~ Dawn, that’s so cowardly. We both picked dare first.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I can’t do that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wait, but Dawn, if you now get asked something you can’t bring yourself to answer you’ll end up with that for a dare and have no choice but to do it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? What! No way!” Dawn looked at me and shrunk back, hugging her shoulders defensively.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haaaaah. What’s your favorite color, Dawn?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What~ that’s so boring! Ask her something spicy, you coward~” Rosa raised her right leg up straight out and poked my cheek with her big toe.
<span style="font-weight:400">“My… favorite color? Really? Just that?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah. Really.” I grabbed Rosa’s foot with my left hand and pulled it down.
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s… light blue…”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Like the pajamas you have on?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uh… yeah,” she nodded meekly.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Boring~ so boring~ that doesn’t count~ I want a spicier question~”
<span style="font-weight:400">“There are no redos, if you want a spicier question, ask her one yourself on your next turn.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then… it’s my turn again?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, since you asked mest time you can ask Ran this time.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Okay… then… truth or dare?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Dare.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uh… then… I dare yuh to… uh… put your shirt back on.” Dawn averted her eyes away to the side.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What! You can’t do that! That’s so booooring~”
<span style="font-weight:400">I ignored Rosa and put my shirt back on with a smug look on my face. Dawn returned the favor as I’d hoped after I went easy on her. I’d sessfully gotten her to dare me to do exactly what I wanted.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, well, well. Oh how the tables have turned, Rosa~ truth… or dare~?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Ugh. This is cheating.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“How so, Rosa? Did things not go as nned?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nothing of the sort. Dare.”
<span style="font-weight:400">She looked me dead in the eyes without fear.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I dare you to do the most embarrassing thing you’ve done… within thest 24 hours again.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Truth…” Rosa’s lips twitched as she immediately backtracked.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What is the most embarrassing thing you have done in- mmmm mmmmmmmm.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Rosa pounced on me from the bed, straddled my waist, and ovepped her hands over my mouth looking like she wanted to cry after encountering a big bad bully.
<span style="font-weight:400">“The most embarrassing thing I’ve done in my life? Jeez, that sure is a tough one to answer. So hard.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? Yuh cut him off just now, wasn’t he going to ask in thest 24-”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nope, I can read my boyfriend’s mind, Dawn. I know exactly what he’s going to say before he even says it. We’re just that close. I can say with certainty he was going to say in my life.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“If… yuh say so. But why’d yuh have to jump on top of him and cover his mouth to stop him from finishing?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Because I was able to make this the most embarrassing moment of my life by doing so. There, I’ve answered the question.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? How’s this the most embarrassing moment of your life? Just because yuh jumped on top of him in front of me?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Y-yeah, exactly that. Right, Ran?”
<span style="font-weight:400">She removed her hands from my mouth and red at me resentfully.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haaaaah. Yeah, I can confirm this is definitely very embarrassing for her. I’ve never seen her looking like she’s wanted to cry as much as she did just now.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wow, I see. So yuh can use this sort of strategy too.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Dawn, it’s your turn now. Truth or dare?” Rosa turned her head to Dawn on the bed with a sharp gleam in her eyes.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uh… truth.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Have you ever kissed-”
<span style="font-weight:400">I sat up, covered Rosa’s mouth, andpleted the question for her, “Another girl before?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? Another... girl before?”
<span style="font-weight:400">Rosa nodded her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wait, you were really going to ask that?”
<span style="font-weight:400">She pulled my hand down and confirmed, “Yeah, I’m surprised you knew I was going to ask her that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uh… no, I’ve never… kissed another girl before…” Dawn raised her hand and hid her lips behind the back of her fist. As if reminded of something, she momentarily nced at me for a moment before she looked away in a fluster.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see. I choose truth.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uh, Rosa… have yuh ever kissed another girl before?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, I have actually,” Rosa licked her lips suggestively.
<span style="font-weight:400">“What! Yuh have?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, are you curious? About what it’s like to kiss someone?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Well, I’ve never really kissed anyone before. Of course I’m curious.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmmm, I see, I see. Ran, truth or dare.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Dare.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I dare you to y a round of spin the bottle.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hah? You can’t do that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure I can. I just did. If you don’t like it, you can always switch to truth. But if you did that, I surely wouldn’t hold back with what I ask my cowardly boyfriend who couldn’t hold true to his words from earlier about sticking with whatever his first choice was.” She rose to her feet and sat back down on the bed beside Dawn.
<span style="font-weight:400">“W-Wait! Hold on, ying spin the bottle… there’s only the three of us here.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, so what?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“If itnds on me… that’d be bad wouldn’t it?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What would be bad? It’s just a little kiss. It’s not a big deal.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“But he’s... your boyfriend.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“And what of it? It’s just a kiss from a little game.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I can’t do that. It doesn’t feel right.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm… then how about this instead. We’ll spin the bottle twice and the two itnds on kisses. Doing it like this you have a 66% chance of not kissing him instead of a 50% chance.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? How does that work?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Just trust me, the math works out that way.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Uh, okay… if yuh say so. If it’s a 66% chance of it not happening I probably shouldn’t get selected to kiss him.”
<span style="font-weight:400">Dawn was naturally being scammed. But I wasn’t about to point it out. Rosa had told the truth, but what she didn’t say was there was still a 66% chance Dawn would still kiss <i><span style="font-weight:400">someone</i><span style="font-weight:400"> this way. My odds of not having to kiss her were higher by not saying anything. It went from 50% to 33%, it was better than nothing. Sorry Dawn, me yourself for not doing the math and blindly trusting this evil scamming girlfriend of mine.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright then~ I guess I’ll spin the bottle to make sure you can’t cheat.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“We still need a bottle.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“A pen’s good enough. Give me yours.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure.”
<span style="font-weight:400">I pulled it out of my side pocket and handed it over to her. She spun the pen up in the air and let it fall back down to the ground. The first person it pointed to was Rosa. She quickly bent over, picked it up off the ground, and spun it a second time. The second she did so, Dawn eximed, “Wait! I’ve been tricked! The odds of me still having to kiss someone is greater than 50%!”
<span style="font-weight:400">It was toote by the time she caught onto Rosa’s scheme. She stiffly looked down at the pen on the ground and realized it was pointed directly at her.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? No way… me?”
