WHEN WE FINISHED eating, we went to the beach and lit a bonfire. It was nice to feel the heat coming from the fire due to the cold wind blowing. We sat around there while Jeremy and Santino came out with wine and some snacks.
“You have beautiful skin,” Julia whispered, then pressed her brown arm to me.
“You too, I really envy brunettes. I prefer to get tan just so I can achieve that color,” I said with a smile on my lips.
“I guess that’s how it really is. You still won’t be able to get it if you don't have anything else,” she whispered painfully before turning to Jeremy.
Without hesitation, I raised my hand to caress his back. She looked so surprised when she turned her gaze at me.
“Girls instinct,” I said after smiling at her.
“Are you going to drink?” Santino asked me.
“No, she can’t drink,” Peter answered so I could do nothing but shook my head so as not to have a long conversation.
So, in the end, Santino just offered me a coke in a can. The night deepened at the same time they were drunk.
William and Allysa are already dancing in the middle because the live band from the nearby resto-bar could be heard from here.
“Oh, here’s Lawrence and Elliesse!” said Jocko before standing up to greet the two who came.
I glanced at them. As Lawrence neared us, I saw Elliesse still clinging to Lawrence. I instantly raised an eyebrow at them, as did the eye-catching questions I had given to Lawrence.
“How are you, bro?” Jocko shook hands with him, then turned to face Elliesse and kissed her on the cheek.
“It looks like you’re enjoying it,” he said in a baritone voice, his eyes flying at me now that Peter is next to him.
“Come on, join us!” Jocko invited them, which they immediately accepted. They chose to sit in front of us, where I finally had Lawrence’s dark stare at me.
I let out a loud gasp before I lost the ability to gaze down. I can feel my heart beating fast. Add more questions as to why he and Elliesse are together now.
“Are you okay?” Peter asked me in a concerned manner. I turned to look at him before nodding. He tilted his head and asked me again. “Are you sure?”
I glanced at Lawrence, who was still staring at me. “Yeah, I’m okay,” I answered forcefully before lowering my gaze to the coke bottle in front of me.
“So, who wants to play a game?!” Santino interrupted while holding the empty bottle in his right hand.
“We are in!” the girls answered. I just silently stared at them and sometimes smiled.
“Okay. Let’s play truth or dare!” he said to everyone and quickly turned the empty wine bottle around.
At first, he confronted William, and he immediately asked him. “What’s the real score between you and Ally?” he asked curiously, at the same time the two were tempted.
“Can I accept the dare?” William replied, but Allysa suddenly punched him, so everyone laughed.
“All right, William!” Allysa fires him a killing look.
“We’re in a relationship,” William admitted while scratching his head. Allysa immediately hugged him and quickly kissed him on the lips and was surprised.
Santino turned the bottle again and immediately confronted Jocko.
“Truth or dare?” Santino asked.
“Dare, of course!” Before laughing out loud.
“Okay, soak in the sea for 15 mins,” Samantha commands seriously to him.
“Hey, the water is cold!” he insists.
