"You said you missed me. That I should come find you," He caresses her cheek. Kim leaned into his touch.

"Well, since you're here, why don't you dance with me?"

"I would love to, but..."

"There no room for but." she pulled him to the dance floor. Her wavy hair blew with the wind.

"Kim?" He laughed as she brought him to where they would dance.

"Why? You can't dance, Mr. Mayer?" She dragged.

"What if I said yes?'

"You would be a little boring," she moved closer to him, she bit her lips slightly.

Miran chuckled, "I don't do dance" He grips her waist, moving to the beat slowly.

"I don't think so," She smiled following his movement.

"You're a tease," He brought his face closer. Kim dodged his kiss.

"Not so fast," He smiled.

"No soy del tipo paciente," He gripped her jaw(I'm not patient). He stared at her. Kim only stared at his lips, she badly wanted to kiss him.

"I..." She gulped.

"te ves hermosa, sexy," (You look beautiful, sexy.) he says, his hands moved down her waist. He rubbed against her butt slightly. she clenched her legs as she lets out a soft moan.

"Miran," She wrapped her hands around his neck, staring into his eyes.

"I love it when you call my name like that," he says, smirking.

His lips pressed against hers softly. She brought her fingers up to his hair, running her hands through his hair. Her tongue found its way to his mouth searching for his. He pulls away from her

"What's wrong?" she says, her lipstick was on his lips a little.

"You taste like heaven," he whispered. Kim drew away from him, she looked up at him. "I wonder if you taste this sweet everywhere." His fingers caressed her ears.

"I dunno, maybe." She bit her lips seductively.

Miran kissed her neck, slowly. His fingers ran up her thighs, he could feel her moan.

"Would you take me to your place?" She said breathlessly.

"What?" He asked, smirking at her.

"Was that too much?" She said in reply.

"Maybe some other time." Miran gave her a warm kiss on the cheek.

Kimimela looked at him. He had a big smile on his face. She clenched her fists, what was that? He had turned her on and left her hanging.

"Hey," Ava and Jackson walked up to them, holding hands.

"Ava," She says softly, still under his touch.

"Oh, Miran?" She says and nudges Kim playfully.

"Nice to meet you again," He says to Ava.

"It's nice to meet you too," she smiles.

"Babe?" Jackson looks at Ava.

"Oh, this is..." she paused and looked at Kim. What was she going to introduce him as?

"She's mine," Kim's eyes widened along with Ava.

"Yours?" Jackson said, confused.

"How am I yours?" Kim eyed him, he was insane.

"You're gonna be mine someday," He whispered closely to her ear. His lips grazed her earlobes as he spoke. Kim gulped.

"Actually-" Kim begins to speak but Miran holds her hands, stopping her from explaining.

"I didn't know you had a boyfriend," Jackson says. He looked confused.

"Me neither," She laughed with Ava.

"What's funny?" Jackson says at the same time as Miran.

"Oh, it's nothing," Ava says, "Well, we came to ask you to join-"

"Join what?" Miran said, a little impatient. Ava glared at him, he didn't even let her finish.

"Some guys invited us for a little game, truth or dare," She continued. "And, I was asking Kim if she wanted to join."

"No, I'm not playing," Kim said. She never liked the game. When she was in high school they only gave her stupid things to do.

"What? You used to play it back in school!" Ava exclaimed.

"Why? It sounds like fun," Miran says. He wondered why she wasn't interested. He had never played the game before but it sounded fun. "Truth or dare?" he thought.

"It sounds like fun?" Ava laughed. She looked at Kim and back at him. What did he mean? she was cracking up but held it in.

"Yeah, it does," Miran replied, seeing her expression.

"Have you played before?" Jackson asked. Kim gawked at him. Every word he spoke annoyed her soul. She didn't even want to hear him speak.

"No, I haven't," He replies, putting his hands in his pocket. Kim focused her gaze on Miran. He could be lying. There is no way he hasn't played it. It even sounds like he doesn't know it. They all kept quiet, looking at him.

"I'm serious I haven't. I don't even know it," He says

"No way!" Ava and Kimimela says

"Where did you get this guy from, Kim?" Jackson asks, She frowned at him and held Miran's hands.

"What do you mean by that? Not everyone is like you and plays that type of game. Besides, I don't like it. So, it's okay." She had no idea why she was defending him, but she just did. Maybe it was because she hated Jackson. Kim had just realized she left Jackson and Ava speechless.

"Easy, he didn't mean it like that," Ava found her words. She forced a smile.

Kim was being too sensitive and she wasn't comfortable with that. "Don't give me that smile. You've forgotten how much I know you," She tries to walk away but her hands were glued to Miran's. She looked at him but he didn't seem like he wanted to let go of it, he held her hands tight.

"Won't you let go?" She asks, annoyed.

"Since you defended me, you have to take me along," He smiles. Kim rolled her eyes, he was unbelievable.

"I didn't defend you, okay? I was just saying obvious things." she gawks at him.

"Well, you're coming right?" Ava says. She held a blue cup in her hands, Kim didn't even know where she got that from.

"No," she says at the same time Miran says, "Yes."

"See you there- Tú-" Ava stopped. She was going to say something in Spanish but realized he could still understand her. "We will be waiting," She nodded and left.

"I have nothing to say, senorita" he walks. Kim followed.

"So, what's your name?" A guy says to Kim. She looked over to Miran, but he was turned away from her. He had gone away to answer a call.

"Kim," She says.

"Kim? Kimberly?"

"No, Kim-" She was about to explain but he had interrupted her.

"Kim Kardashian?" He laughed with the others.

"Hey, stop it!" Jackson says.

"It's not even funny, dude," Ava says.

"Should we start?" One of them asks.

"Yeah, sure."

"Here," Ava gives Kim a blue solo cup.

"I have had enough, that I had to sober up," She tells her, handing the cup back.

"Okay," she says, "are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just want to go home," she says.

"You always want to go home."

"Is it my fault that home is fun, secure, and safe?"

"What's he doing?" Ava nudged her chin at Miran. He was standing far away.

"I don't know. Making a stupid phone call," She sips the drink.

"Hey girl!" she takes it off her hands.

"We kissed again," she swallowed. Ava blinked, she looked at Miran and back at her."I know, it's crazy. He just confuses me."

Ava only stared at her speechless, she couldn't find any words.

"Stop looking at me like that,"

"I'm just shocked, I thought Arab men are preserved until they date," Ava said.

"Are they?" She glances at Miran.

"Yeah, that's what I heard. He's different or it's all a big lie," Ava says.

"Come on, girls," a guy named John says. Ava went back to Jackson, and Miran came back, he sat opposite Jackson.

Kim's face fell when he sat across her. She picked up her sipped her drink again. Ava's mouth opened.

"Hey handsome," a girl sat beside him.

"My girl is there," He said, Kim narrowed her eyes at him.

"Hm..." Ava looked at Kim as Kim looked at her.

"Won't you come?" He says, the girl stood up and left. Kim slowly stood up.

She was his girl now? That's what she's admitting if she obeys him. She sat down anyway, facing Ava and Jackson. Miran wrapped his hands around her shoulders.

"How does that feel?" He whispered breathing into her ears. Kim swallowed, her eyes locked with Ava's.

"Okay, we are complete, seems like we have so many couples here," John said. Kim felt good being in the couples category.

Kim sat in his arms all night. She was lucky that no one had called her name or made it her turn. She had finished her first drink and she was nursing her second. Maybe the game wasn't that bad if she only watched. Miran on the other hand had been on his phone.

"Kim!" Ava yells. She jumped, she looked around to know what happened.

"It's your turn," Miran helped her understand the situation.

"What?" She looked at the bottle. It was pointing directly at her.

"I'm going first!" Jackson said.

"I don't-"

"Truth or dare," Jackson didn't even let her speak, she breathed out.

"Um..."

Everyone was staring and waiting for her to pick, up except Miran. He continued with his phone.

"Ain't you gonna pick?" Ava said.

"Dare," She tightened her lips. She didn't want them to ask her stupid questions like whether she liked Miran or if she had made love to someone. It was embarrassing! The way they came up with personal questions...

"Sit on his lap and kiss him. Prove that you're his girlfriend," Jackson says.

"What?" Ava and Kim asked. Jackson points to Miran.

"I don't..." She stopped, Miran didn't say anything.

"Didn't you say you're together? it wouldn't be so hard," he says.

"Babe," Ava tapped him. "Stop."

"Okay," she sighs. Ava looked at her, brows furrowed. She didn't ever think Kim would agree.

Kim got up and looked at Miran. He wasn't resisting or arguing. Maybe she shouldn't. Or she should. She battled with her thoughts. She tries calming herself. It's just a kiss in a really intimate position. She could do it.

No, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Miran pulled her onto his lap by himself. Kim yelped.

"Do it properly, if you want to." he trapped her in his arms, waiting for her kiss.
