"I dare you to kiss me, T.H," Rosella said, without any second thought.
Now, the ambiance is quiet again. They stared at me sadly. I painted my fake smile. T.H. gazed at me, like he doesn't want Rosella's words.
He looked confusingly at the girl wearing a blooming smile beside him. "Now what, T.H?" Rosella uttered again.
I cleared my throat and looked down. A cleared throat if he'll make it, and another one for healing the pain on my heart and not feeling it anymore.
"Are you still breathing?" Jez tapoed my back. I don't know, Jez if I can still survive or finally died. What if my two eyes witnessed how he kissed Rosella.
"Y-yeah, sure!" I stutteredly said.
"No! Look what T.H will do next. Don't be broken. Rosella surely triggered herself to be an antagonist on your love story." Jez whispered again.
My phone vibrated.
T.H
You look worried. Are you okay?
"Rest assured to him if he'll flirt you. Not that looking like a dumb about thinking what's going on about him and Rosella" Jez added, while glaring at T.H. message.
She raised her eyebrows on T.H who's now glaring at us.
"Say that you're fine," Melissa said. She's on beside me.
"If I were you, don't give any reply! Just let him to die about thinking if you're alright or not. Obviously, you aren't fine girl" Jez protested.
I glared on his message, and took many deep breathe.
"Is there any sanction if he didn't do the dare?" Rosella pouted in dismay. She's like a child cramping beside him, while Rosella's hand around T.H arm.
"We didn't talked about it? Not sure" Marcus replied and Rosella scratched her head.
"T.H, please! Just one kiss! On my lips! I just wanted to taste the softness of your lips," She pouted again, pleading on T.H.
"Desperate." Sasha whispered while playing her hair.
"What did you said?" Rosella exclaimed.
"I said, you're desperate! Stop acting like that, atleast gave yourself a little shame" Sasha exclaimed and spinned the bottle even if T.H doesn't have a respond about the dare.
"Wow? I'm desperate? Wait. How about you? Flirting with Latrelle. Oops. Sorry. Not intention to say that." Rosella laughed.
"But that's different. Unlike yours. You're greedy on the attention of a man who doesn't love you. Pathetic." Sasha sitted properly and speaked again. "Correction. If you thinked I flirted Latrelle. Yes, it's true but it's not the same as you do with T.H. You look like a looser"
Sasha laughed and her two friends too.
"You know I love this girl! The girl named Sasha." Jez whispered while secretly laughed at my back.
"Okay! I'm out!" Rosella finally said and walked away. She marched back again in the nipa hut. T.H followed her, without looking back at me. I suddenly felt a little ached.
Everyone stared on each other and moved their shoulder. "I guess our game ends here" Sasha said. .
"Such a waste! I didn't even have the spotlight to turn" Jez said.
"I guess it's time to sleep." Marcus disappointedly said and headed first on his snd Latrelle's tent.
"I guess too." Vanna also said disapoointedly.
All of them went back to their own tent, except me. I'm just waiting, watching the stars. There's someone showed up from our tent.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Melissa asked while fixing her hair into bun.
I was about to say "no", but instead stood up. I guess T.H will sleep beside Rosella. No malice. No meaning.
I went inside and laid on the corner. Melissa is between me and Jez. While Jez have pillow on their space.
"Do you want a real talk? I don't like you and stop making fun of me," You can sense a tremble on Jez's voice while holding her phone.
"Who she's talking with? I asked Melissa, we share on the same blanket. .
"Ja? Jasper? Jaston? Nah, it sounds like that." Melissa yawned and close her eyes.
"Sleep now. I know you're tired." She added.
I laid beside her and arranged ny pillow, slowly close my eyes and imagined anything. Imagining if I'll be married on one of the member of NCT or just Donny Pangilinan.
One of those things I dreamt is that Donny will approach me, but it doesn't work. Thirty minutes have passed and still my conciousness is active, so I slowly got up.
I stared at Melissa and Jez. They're snooze for a competition. Oh, they are choirs on the evening. I nodded, and fixed their blanket and went outside.
Just staring the ambiance. I felt the cold weather of the evening. Like the wind twirled my nose. Because the inner part also felt it.
The moon got my attention. Like Mama and Papa are seeing me right now. " I miss you, both"
"Kaoree." I runned out of balance, only realizing who have talked. He held my waist to not totally bragged down.
"Why is it like you saw a monster?" Wyn asked like his face are sparkling.
"You surprised me! Why aren't you sleeping?" I said, as gaining my balance back again.
"I just wanted to grill some marshmallows. You want, too?" He offered, holding a stick and pieces of marshmallow.
"Sure!" I exclaimed.
He made a bonfire, and put marshmallows for me.
"You're great on these thing, too! Where did you learned about making a bonfire and grilling mallows?" I amazingly said. Feeling the heat directly strikes my face by the fire.
"I don't even remembered who taught me. But I know she or he has a special place in my heart like you, Kaoree."
I felt anxious about his words. It's not that I like him too but I felt different. Wyn lesned on me..
"I like you, too." He whispered and slowly leaning his face on me.
He's kind and the reason why I'm so weak to push him. I don't wanted him to get hurt. Likewise, if I didn't then he'll surely kiss me totally. I clenched my fist. Millions of heart beats activates.
"Wyn" My eyes widened while he kept calmed. Turning his gazed away as I met T.H's burning eyes. Like the intensity of the bonfire.
"I'm sorry" He whispered. My apology too, Wyn. You're one of the kind. I don't wanted to her you, but I don't wanted to lie on myself too.
I stood up and went to T.H "Don't be mad at him"
He didn't say any word. Instead held me on my hand and turned me on like a child. T.H build a tent not that far on our tent.
"Sleep here" He charmly said.
"I have a tent, sharing with Melissa and Jez" I was about to walked outside but he pulled me back.
"Sleep here or I'll kiss you?" T.H confidently said. His Adam's apple moved, and looked at my lips meaningfully.
Can I have both?
