Chapter 204 - Truth or Dare to elevate the mood

Everything was going smoothly for everyone.

Ella and Rueben slowly built their relationship and he made sure she didn't regret giving him a chance in her life.

He was so sweet and careful with her heart. Her craziness sat well with him. He accepted her as she was.

Leo and Clara haven't progressed much either. Their relationship still remained constant phone calls and text messages.

He dropped to pick her up from work at times and took her to have dinner before dropping her at home.

Both were happy as well, while their heart knowing fully well that a lot is still going to happen. Gregory had been quiet recently, which felt odd, but he still exists.

Leo knew that whether he likes it or not, Clara would still be up against that demon.

If only there's something he could do to prevent that.

Tim on the other hand, was just being himself. Despite telling himself that sleeping around would always be who he was, he hadn't touched another woman aside from the one he slept with, on the day Clara told him to back off.

Belle kept whining about school as usual and giving Mick a hard time, because it's hard to make her get dressed for school.

The man had to coarse her and make few promises before she finally agreed. She only behaves whenever Leo decides to get her dressed up by himself.

She had realized that Leo doesn't tolerate her refusal when it comes to schooling. Mick will use sweet words, but Leo would appear unpleased with her and she doesn't like him being that way.

Days rolled after days, same as weeks.

It was Ella's birthday.

Her 30th birthday, to be exactly.

There was a huge banquet with lots of hot shots in the country attending.

As usual, most were just there to mingle and introduce each other. The celebrant and her boyfriend were happy having a hot s.e.x in one of the hotel room closed to the space they used as the venue, yet no one noticed that they were gone.

Reuben couldn't help it, because she looked so breathtaking. After noticing how he wanted to turn her n.a.k.e.d with his eyes, she was the one who dragged him away by herself.

Their l.u.s.tful m.o.a.n filled the whole room, with their clothes carefully placed aside for later wearing after their round of love making session.

Clara was sitting at a long table with Tim and Sharon, who had been a good girl since she arrived.

She doesn't look like she mind Leo gazing at Clara so intensely, which was odd.

Tim, who still couldn't let the girl out of her head completely, couldn't help but take the opportunity to check out beautiful ladies at the event, yet he didn't make an attempt to call any one of them.

Sharon noticed that he was faking all his nonchalance but didn't say anything. She would help him get the girl and have Leo for herself.

Clara only smiled because despite Leo's doting look and his constant praises on how she looked so beautiful, Sharon was smiling casually as if she didn't mind but Clara could feel the hatred in the girl's heart.

She would have intensified the jealousy by resting her head on Leo's chest, because the way he held her hand under the table and gently stroking it was making her feel the urge to do that.

To let him pat her hair like he used to, which made her feel nice.

She wasn't doing that because the media are around. They would capture any gossip and make it their headline tomorrow.

She just squeezed his hand back and chuckled as he whispered into her ear whenever someone was eyeing her from a distance.

"I'm angry now. Someone is about to listen eyes…" And so on, which was just a funny threat.

The celebrant finally turned up after an hour, with her elegantly made hair modified into a pig tail.

The others didn't think too far, but Tim mentioned how she had just been screwed, while Ella shrugged.

It is Reuben who seems to be affected a little, because his words made Clara and Sharon look at them.

He bit on his lips to make the swelling less obvious, due to their intense kiss, but Ella was already busy taking her drink and smiling at those waving at her from afar.

Sharon spoke up. "I arranged an after banquet party for you at a club. Just for your friends. We could party all night." 

"Are we friends?" Ella asked, but Reuben tapped her under the table. She quickly laughed it off and said she was only teasing her.

Clara held the urge to chuckle.

The event slowly came to an end. Her gifts were taken to her residents by her workers, while the visitors returned to their humble abode.

They all left the place as well. The so-called after event party awaited.

Sharon, Clara, Leonard, Timothy, Ella, and Reuben were the ones that are considered friends enough to attend the setup.

It was so annoying, because there wasn't any difference from the one they came from.

They were seated at a VIP section with food being served to them. After they were done eating, they proceeded to sit and be bored.

Oh yeah! There's a television showing a football match, but who cares about that?

They all look so bored, but couldn't reject Sharon's offer, since she has taken her time for the birthday girl after all.

The table set before them was now filled with drinks, which was ushered in. Sharon began organising the table like a pro. She filled up the cups in front of every one of them with a drink of their choices, which she had taken notice of, from the earlier event.

They all looked the same. Still damn bored and already checking the time and contemplating on when they would tell her that it's time to leave.

She smiled as she was done filling up the glasses. 

"We will be playing the game Truth or Dare to elevate the mood. I see that you're all bored.
