A mix of emotions surged through Josephine as she observed Deep's reaction to Mira's audacious act - amusement instead of anger or possessiveness. June's warning echoed in her mind once again - he wasn't one for love; perhaps they were merely friends playing around?
After five minutes Mira was done and she came back to sit down on her seat as the game continue. The bottle was pointed at June.
" Truth or dare" a girl question and June replied " truth" .
The girl smirked mischievously, clearly ready to unveil a secret. "Have you ever had a crush on someone in this room?" she asked, her eyes glinting with curiosity. June hesitated for a moment, glancing at Josephine who was sitting beside her. Finally, she took a deep breath and confessed, "Well, there's actually someone I've been secretly crushing on for quite some time now. The person is Melody " . Everyone was surprised about June's confession.
" Oh my God someone has a crush on me" said Melody smiling, he was really surprised that June has a crush on him because she has never talked to him even when they are grouped together for a project she only talked when it is necessary. To Josephine greatest surprise the bottle was pointed at her .
" Truth or dare " June asked with a smirk on her face, Josephine doesn't know which one to choose because she is afraid but when she remembers that June is her friend and won't do anything stupid.
" I choose truth" Josephine answered, everyone attention was on her as they were waiting for what will happen.
" Who is your first kiss" June asked, she really wants to know if Josephine have kissed someone.
" I haven't kiss anyone before" Josephine admitted shyly, avoiding the people's gazes feeling nervous and embarrassed.
" Are you fucking serious" Deep asked surprisedly, how can a beautiful girl like her never kissed someone. Everyone is also shocked about the revelation.
A wave of laughter erupted from the group, followed by playful teasing directed at Josephine. She blushed furiously under their scrutiny, feeling like an outsider among those who were more experienced in matters of the heart. Deep's eyes locked with hers for a moment, before he looked away with a faint smile playing on his lips. There was something mysterious about his response that intrigued Josephine even more.
" Okay guys let move on" said Mira as the game continued. Many people are dares to do stupid things which is somehow fun to Josephine. Now the bottle is pointed at Deep.
" Truth or dare" a girl asked him with an evil smirk on her face, she really wants him to choose truth but Deep is the kind of person that always choose dare
As the bottle pointed towards Deep, Josephine couldn't help but feel her heart race. What daring task would they assign him? She noticed an air of confidence emanating from Deep - he was ready for anything. With a grin on his face, he boldly declared, "I choose dare." The room erupted in cheers and laughter as everyone brainstormed what outrageous dare they could challenge him with next.
" I dare to kiss a girl that wear blue dress here" The girl exclaimed which makes the people to looks around the room to see if any girl happens to wear a blue dress. Josephine become nervous when she remembers that she is wearing a blue dress with some other two girls.
Josephine's heart pounded in her chest as the spotlight turned to her. She exchanged a nervous glance with the two other girls wearing blue dresses, realizing that she might be the chosen one. Deep's eyes met hers for a brief moment, and she could see a flicker of amusement in them. In that instant, she knew he wanted it to be her.
" June I can't play this game anymore" said Josephine weakly . One of the girls said " if you failed to do your dare you are going to drink three cups of alcohol".
" I choose to kiss Josephine" Deep finally said as he stared at her for few seconds before walking towards her direction.
The room fell silent as Deep made his daring move towards Josephine. Her heart thudded in her chest, anticipation and nervousness colliding within her. The air crackled with tension as their eyes locked, and time seemed to stand still.
" Just do it fast " said Josephine weakly as she closed her eyes tightly, waiting for his lips to connect with her, there a slight tears in the corner of her eyes. She doesn't want her first to be like this but she can't drink the alcohol so she doesn't have any choice. She regretted coming to this party.
Josephine braced herself for what felt like an inevitable collision of lips. But instead of feeling pressure or invasion, she felt warmth and tenderness as Deep's kiss became more than just fulfilling a dare. In that fleeting moment, everything else faded away –the laughter in the room turned distant and muffled while time slowed down around them. It was as if they existed in their own little bubble where nothing else mattered except for this undeniable chemistry they shared.
Her mouth taste like strawberry and chocolate at the same time, she can't believe that this is how it feels for someone to be kissed. Deep wasn't surprise that Josephine don't know how to kiss but he loves it that he is in control as he become addicted to the taste of her mouth instantly.
As their lips gently parted, Josephine's heart was racing with a mix of excitement and confusion. She couldn't deny the electric connection she felt with Deep in that moment, but she also couldn't shake off the feeling that this kiss meant something more than just a dare. The room erupted in applause and cheers, but all Josephine could focus on was the lingering warmth on her lips.
She ran outside after the kiss as she can't continue the game . There was a satisfied smile on Deep face before he went back to his seat.
Josephine stepped outside into the cool night air, her heart still racing from the unexpected kiss. She leaned against the wall, trying to catch her breath and make sense of what had just happened. The sound of laughter and music from inside the house faded into the background as she closed her eyes, savoring the lingering warmth on her lips. Deep's touch had ignited something within her - a desire for more.
