Very easy! Be careful coz honesty can bite! It can be a venom that can kill you or something that can help you become strong!"
"That sounded harmless a while ago!" Camille blurts out.
The ladies agree.
"In or out?" Jay asks as he gives Sophia a challenging look.
"I'm in!"
"Let's do this!"
"Okay~"
The ladies hesitantly agree.
Mon shuffles the cards and places it in the middle. There is so much uneasiness more than excitement as they flip their cards.
"Damn! This is gonna be one helluva game!" Ron smirks.
"Who will start?" Leo asks.
"Jay!" they shout. He looks at his card and glances at Jason.
"What?" Jason asks. Then, he shows his card--- the King of CLUBS.
"No way! I'm gonna break your bones. Don't even think about it!" Jason raves when he realizes what Jay wants him to do.
"Well... let's kick this off with a bang! Uncle and Stephanie... the dance floor is yours!" Jay simpers.
Jason glares at him as he stands and walks slowly in front of them.
"I don't know how to dance," Stephanie apologetically says.
"Me, too!" Jason replies.
"Club dance would be fine!" the others cheer.
Then, Jason whispers something in Stephanie's ears. She covers her mouth in surprise.
"Come on. This would be fun!" Jason encourages. She nods.
"One. Two. One. Two. Three. Go! Ta- na- na- na- na- na- na. Ta- na- na- na- na- na- na~"
They cheer and laugh as Jason and Stephanie do the chicken dance!
Ben and Mon get up from their seats as they laugh out loud. Jay keeps stomping his feet while Leo slams his chair in laughter. Ron sputters his drink.
Jay screams when Sophia suddenly pulls his hair.
"That was hilarious!" the ladies comment as they go back to their seats.
"That was awesome! I've never thought that I would do something ridiculous and I enjoyed it!" she exclaims.
"Thank you!" she says before embracing Jason. They tease. Mon clears his throat then pulls her down to her sit.
She gives him a questioning look.
"You're chocking him~," he says which is clearly untrue.
"You're a natural uncle!" Leo comments. Jason smirks and gives him a middle finger. They laugh.
"Letizia you are up!" Mon says.
"Okay~," she says and shows the Queen of HEARTS. Then, she turns to Ben and gives a breathtaking kiss.
"Eeeeeeeew!" Ron says.
"Get a room!" Sophia shouts.
"Are you jealous? We can do it if you like~" Jay whispers at Sophia. She punches his leg, making him twitch in pain.
"I will go next!" Primrose says while showing the Queen of SPADES. Then, she turns to Letizia and smiles playfully. Letizia gulps worriedly.
"That night~ when I almost fall down---"
"Holy shit! No!" Letizia exclaims. She is clearly nervous and embarrassed.
"Sorry. This is how the game works," Ben says while she covers her ears.
Their reaction sparks curiosity among the other members. They urge her to tell more.
"I saw Letizia and Ben having---"
"Sex! What's wrong with that?" Ben asks with nonchalance. The ladies gasp.
"Damn! Brother, salute to you!" Jay utters while raising his beer.
"You barely know each other!" Primrose blurts out.
"And? What's your point exactly?"
"You should know each other at least long before you do such things!" Stephanie says.
"How long is appropriate?" Ben asks.
"Months maybe~" Primrose answers.
"Are you saying that she is an easy girl?"
He holds Letizia's trembling hands.
"No!"
"Of course not!"
They reply. He smirks.
"Really? Coz it sounds like it. It's not like we are coerced in a sexual act. Besides, she's my girlfriend now," he says.
"I will go next!" Camille says to break the intensity of the situation.
She shows her card--- Ace of DIAMONDS!
She stands up and pauses a bit.
"Who do you want to spend a day with?" they ask.
"Honestly, I love you, Cameron... but..."
"But what?!" Ron says in a loud voice.
"But... I wanna know more about---" she says while walking around, causing Ron to hold his breath. Then, she turns to him.
"Just kidding! I wanna spend more time with you!" she says smiling widely and goes to him.
"I know you were joking!" Ron says as she hugs him.
"No, you don't!" Leo teases.
They have a good time. It is indeed a very intense game. They laugh. They get anxious. They get mad.
"It's the last card! Show us!" Jay tells Mon.
He shrugs his shoulder then shows his card--- King of DIAMONDS.
"Alright! I want my brother and..."
He looks at Primrose, looking down.
"... and Chealsy!" he continues.
Shock is apparent in their faces, especially on Primrose's face.
"What?! Why?" Leo asks while holding Primrose's hand which she immediately removes.
"Seriously brother... I want you to have a girlfriend who's emotionally and mentally strong--- someone who is carefree. You are already an egghead! You don't need a worrier girlfriend!" he explains while looking intently at her.
"I am sorry Primrose. You are a wonderful person, but you are just too worried about everything. You love him, and my brother loves you for sure. Yet, you are still full of hesitations."
"I understand..." she says in a soft voice.
Awkwardly, Leo, and Chealsy cuddle.
"So this is how this game works!" Sophia whispers.
