Chapter 48 - Making Selene Jealous

Eros could only watch Selene as she took one shot of tequila. His face was covered with concerns for her. She didn't know how long she could handle alcoholic drinks.

Selene choked and coughed after taking the first shot. She could feel the burning sensation in her throat. 

It tasted awful that she wanted to throw it up right away as soon as the liquid got in contact with her taste buds. Her face suddenly became red as if she was blushing. Her eyes teared up.

Samantha gave her lemon hoping that it could help her erase the harsh flavor taste of tequila in her mouth.

Eros rubbed Selene's back, asking her if she's just okay. Selene just nodded her head since Samantha asked her the same question. 

Meghan just smiled inwardly seeing the reaction of Selene. At that certain moment, she knew that Selene couldn't handle hard liquors.

Getting her confirmation, the group continued the game. Declan was the one who said the statement.

Declan: "Never I have ever had a first kiss."

After saying that, he fixed his gaze on Selene. He was curious if she and Renz had already kissed each other. He also wanted to know who was her first kiss.

Aside from Declan, Samantha, Noel, and Meghan also averted their gaze to Selene, waiting to see whether her hand would remain up or she would put it down.

Selene didn't know whether to raise her hand or not. She was put in a difficult situation. If she raised her hand then they would know that Renz and she didn't kiss yet. 

But if she put down her hand, they would ask her about her first kiss. She couldn't tell them that it was Renz because they might discover that she just lied to them.

Furthermore, she didn't want to make up a lie, telling them she kissed another guy aside from Renz. What if Renz would know and he would not like it?

'What should I do?' Selene was asking herself. 

Selene was still thinking when she heard Eros whispering in her ear. "Should I give you a kiss now so that you can claim that you already have a first kiss?"

Selene didn't know why but her body stiffened after hearing that voice. She wondered if she was just imagining things that she had mistaken Eros's voice to be similar to someone. 

'Why does Eros voice change and it doesn't sound like a child? It is similar to…'

Then the handsome face of the silver-gray-haired pervert man just popped up in her mind. She hastily glanced at Eros but all she could see was his cute charming face in his child-like form. She saw him smiling cheekily at her.

'I think my ears are just playing tricks on me,' Selene thought to herself before raising her hand. 

There's no point in lying so she just admitted that she didn't have a first kiss yet.

Samantha gasped in surprise after seeing her response. The two boys had mixed feelings as well after knowing that. Only Meghan rejoiced inwardly. 

At least, she confirmed that Renz didn't act intimately to Selene yet. So it would be easy for her to make Selene jealous, hoping that she would create a scene at that party especially if she would get drunk.

Meanwhile, Eros facepalmed because of Selene's action. 

'Why are you being so honest Selene? Can't you try saying a white lie? Is it that hard?' Eros had the urge to scold her.

"Alright, let's continue," Samantha said after they were done drinking their tequila shot.

This time it was Noel's turn to ask. Meghan gave him a meaningful glance. Noel got her message and just simply nodded at her.

Noel: "Never have I ever kissed my best friend on the lips."

Only Meghan put down her hands. Samantha frowned after seeing that.

"Eh, did you kiss anyone from the boys?" Samantha asked Meghan in disbelief. She was referring to Renz, Arthur, Noel, and Declan.

Meghan's eyes lit up as she bobbed her head frantically. Her lips curled up into a mischievous smile.

"Then who?" Samantha probed.

"It's Renz!" She said cheerfully while looking at Selene.

Selene: "..."

Samantha: "..."

Both ladies fell silent after hearing that. Samantha simply gave Meghan a warning look. It was so awkward to say that in front of Renz's fiancee. She couldn't believe that Meghan would say that.

She didn't remember something like that so she asked her again, "When did that happen? Maybe you are just mistaken, Meghan. It might be Arthur right, not Renz?"

Samantha was trying to save the atmosphere at that table. She glanced at Selene worriedly. She just remained quiet in her seat. Samantha couldn't tell what she was thinking right now.

"It happened just recently when we hung out in a bar. Remember?"

The two boys just feigned ignorance. They didn't dare to interrupt the ladies. They were anticipating Selene's reaction to this.

"Hahaha, I think you are bluffing. I don't remember anything like that." Samantha insisted, still signaling Meghan to take her words.

But Meghan just ignored Samantha's warning. "Of course you would not remember since you already passed out from too much drunkenness."

Then Meghan turned to Selene. "Don't worry, Selene. It was just an accident. We were both drunk at that time. So don't get mad at Renz."

"But honestly, I am surprised after knowing that you two haven't kissed yet," Meghan added, mocking Selene.

"Meghan, stop it. That was enough! Apologize to Selene now!" Samantha had become serious now. She even stood up and slammed their table. She couldn't believe that Meghan would act like a bitch right now.

Meghan let out a sarcastic laugh and responded, "Why should I apologize to her? I thought this was a Truth Challenge Game. I am just telling the truth. Why are you getting mad, Samantha? Even Selene, herself, has not spoken about this."

Selene grabbed Samantha's elbow. She wanted her to calm down and go back to her seat. When Samantha looked at her, she could see Selene smiling at her with her pleading look.

"It's okay. There's no need to make a fuss about this. This is just a game." Selene said to them with her calm voice. Her expression remained neutral.

Meghan just arched her eyebrow. 'It seems that she has a strong self-control.'
