Chapter 69
Before Kenneth could reply, Matthew stood up with a raised eyebrow. His expression radiated cockiness.
Under the lights, the sapphire stud in his earlobe was especially attention–grabbing. He looked at Kenneth with an evil grin as he answered for him.
“Obviously, he has to pick ‘dare‘.”
The others began to holler loudly.
Kenneth smiled. He had no other choice but to reply, “Alright. Give me a dare.”
Marsha appreciated his game–on attitude and slapped the table with a chuckle. Her eyes glinted with excitement as she looked at the other players and said, “Come on! Let’s think of a good one.”
Matthew snapped his fingers and said, “I have one!” as his cocky expression lit up with an evil grin.
Everyone else knew how creative Matthew could be and turned to look at him in excitement.
Marsha rushed him impatiently, “Quit beating around the bush and tell us!”
Matthew didn’t hold back either. He jerked his chin slightly in the direction of the door and said, “Ask him to go out and confess to a hottie, then wink at another woman. How does that sound?”
Kenneth was shocked.
“Holy crap, are we really going all out?” he blurted out.
He was usually a stereotypical goody–two–shoes. That dare was a bit too far out of his comfort zone.
Matthew looked at him with an evil grin. “Obviously! It wouldn’t be a dare otherwise.”
After all, the whole point was to keep the game interesting.
Marsha looked at Kenneth with a grin and patted him on the shoulder. They looked like a couple of best friends. “Are you up to it, Mr. Zimmerman? Don’t be a quitter.”
The others hurriedly agreed.
“Yeah, exactly!” someone said.
Being called a quitter was a huge no–no for a guy.
