Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled novel Chapter 76

Mitch hit the button, and the silver needle started to spin rapidly. The first one to be picked was a young woman I didn't recognize. She was sitting right next to Mitch. I guessed she might have been brought by Rhea.

"It's me!" She waved her hand excitedly and then looked around us, thinking about who to pick.

Finally, Cooper got chosen. He picked "dare".

"Go find a guy you don't know, and tell him you think his lips are sexy."

Upon hearing this, Cooper looked troubled. The rest of us cracked up. Asking him to do this was almost like asking him to die.

He glared at the woman and said, "I'll drink!"

Then he downed a glass of booze.

Next, it was Cooper's turn to hit the start button. This round picked Russel.

Russel, wearing a white sweater and looking a bit cold, chose "truth".

Cooper smirked. "Hey, Russel, are you a virgin?"

We were all shocked by this question. Russel was indeed an exception on his Facebook. We had never seen him have any intimate relations with women.

But that might just be a facade. Some people hide their real faces very deep. Who knows if he has ever had bedmates?

Even Neil seemed interested in him.

I thought Russel would choose to drink, but he stayed silent for a few seconds then nodded. "Yes."

His answer caused a commotion. Some women immediately lit up, their eyes full of desire locked on him, as if they couldn't wait to pluck this pure flower.

I was right. He was a genuinely good guy.

The silver needle started to spin again, finally slowing down and stopping on me. I sighed and looked into Russel's eyes. "Truth."

"Do you have interest in any other men besides Neil?" Russel slowly asked.

The lively room instantly fell into silence. Neil's gaze landed on me. I couldn't tell his emotions, but I could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere, as if there was a beast hiding in his heart, ready to tear me apart if I said the wrong thing.

I never expected Russel to ask such a crazy question.

"Can I change it to dare?" I hesitated and asked.

"Sure," Russel smiled slightly, "Choose any man in the room besides Neil to kiss."

Holy crap!

What's wrong with Russel today? He seemed to have a grudge against me!

Neil hadn't said anything, but his aura made everyone in the room tense. He was now looking at Russel. The two men's eyes met. I seemed to smell a tense atmosphere.

What's wrong with them? Are they already starting to vie for Bonnie?

Don't use me as a pawn! I had a hard time being reincarnated once, and I don't want to get involved in complex competition.

After a few seconds of silence, I picked up the bullet cup closest to me and gulped it down. The fiery alcohol slid from my mouth to my throat, then all into my stomach. I couldn't help sticking out my tongue.
