Chapter 116 - CHRISTMAS WITH THE IN-LAWS III
Chapter 116 – CHRISTMAS WITH THE IN-LAWS III
"Never have I ever deleted a chat conversation so you wouldn't see it." Luiz started with a minefield question for couples. Luna bit her lips and among the four couples she answered 'I HAVE'. Ali looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"I wasn't cheating alright." She raised her hands in surrender. "It was a message from my mother. And you know how she viewed our relationship, right? I didn't want you to be upset so, I deleted it."
Ali raised his eyebrow and laughed. "I know. Because your account has always been opened in my phone."
"So, you've read them still?"
"Uh huh." Ali just smiled and squeezed her hand gently. "I'm fine."
Kyle clapped his hand and smiled. "It's good that there's understanding between you, two. Now, let's continue."
Luiz scrolled on his phone and stated, "Never have I ever thought about leaving you."
This time, it was Cayenne who raised 'I HAVE' among the four of them. "I had this thought last month." She told Stefan. "You know what I mean, right?"
Stefan nodded his head with gentle smile on his lips. Of course, he knew because they had been arguing a lot of times before. One wrong move and everything blew up. He even thought of just playing with her to take revenge but he also dropped the idea because he just couldn't hurt her.
"I don't know what made you think of leaving the boss." Luna commented. "But it would be a great loss if you do so. Many women are vying for the position of being his girlfriend."
"I agree." Stefan wiggled his eyebrows towards Cayenne. "So, don't ever let me go."
"Hn." Cayenne responded with a sweet smile. Her eyes turned to crescent moon, pretty and made her looked even more adorable.
"I'm starting to regret playing this game." Kyle muttered. "I don't want to be fed with dog food."
"Start looking for your own girlfriend, then." Luiz retorted without much care. "Next. Never have I ever lied about something very important."
Cayenne raised 'I HAVE' once again.
"We talked about this last time. I told you that I will you something very important once I'm ready." Cayenne told Stefan.
"I remember. And I told you that I will be waiting."
Luiz and Kyle both rolled their eyes with these cheesy people in front of them. "I don't like this game anymore. Next. Never have I ever pretend I didn't hear you."
All of them raised their papers with 'I HAVE' written on it. No one explained and no one asked. They just knew it was normal and it does happen a lot when couples are having cold war.
The game continued for five more rounds and Kyle was busy putting more snacks in front of them. "How about we play a guessing game? The winners will get a prize."
"Game." Stefan agreed instantly. "I can sponsor the prize, too."
"Really, boss?" Luna's eyes lit up. One of the things that they like about their boss was that, he wasn't stingy. "What's the prize?"
"How about three days' worth of vacation in my resort?"
"You've got to be kidding." Kyle murmured. They knew how expensive the resorts that Stefan owned. One night of stay was equal to two months of their student allowance.
Luna thought the same as well. If it's not for free she'd pay at least half of her monthly salary for one night.
"I'm serious. Cayenne and I won't participate in this game since we've just come back from vacation."
"Cool." Ali and Luiz stated in unison.
Cayenne's brothers formed one team. Ali and Luna formed another team.
Cayenne was responsible for choosing words and Stefan was responsible for keeping the time. "If Luiz and Kyle win, they can bring Auntie with them. If Luna and Ali win, they can go and have a date in my resort."
The two pairs were so happy since it's just once in a lifetime opportunity.
They discussed the mechanics of the game and the six categories that Cayenne chose – movies, songs, personalities, things, and food. They only have three minutes to guess as much as they can for the first round. Then, they will exchange their position and will be given two minutes for the second round.
"Who wants to start?" Cayenne asked while shaking the rolled papers inside the glass that she got from the kitchen.
"Let's toss a coin." Stefan suggested which everyone agreed. Stefan took out a coin from his pocket.
'He's a normal person.' Luna and Ali thought at the same time. Most wealthy people would choose to pay with their credit cards and rarely bring cash with them.
"The one with the human figure is the head. The one with the flower is the tail." Stefan mentioned which side are you?"
"Head." Kyle instantly answered.
"So, we will take the tail." Luna responded.
Stefan tossed the coin over their heads, caught it with his hand and with a faint 'thud', he placed his hand on the table upside-down. When he took his hand, it showed tail. "Ali and Luna will go first."
"Okay."
They went to position and the timer started. There were many pieces of paper and Luna will be the one who will guess it first. As soon as Ali was done reading, he was already making actions. Everything was written in English so they didn't need to guess the language.
"A person?" Ali shook his head. "Food?" He shook his head again. ''A thing?" He nodded his head. "Inside the house?" Another nod. "In the living room?" Shakes head. "Kitchen?" Nods. "Frying Pan. Spoon. Fork. Knife. Kettles. Plates. Bowls. Microwave. Refrigerator." Luna was just randomly guessing until she got it right. Ali took another piece of paper and she started guessing again. After three minutes, she was able to guess five words. "That was really hard."
It was Kyle and Luiz turn. Kyle was responsible for guessing this time. Luiz took a piece of paper and started acting after reading it. "Movie. Songs. Things. Person." Kyle mentioned them until Luiz nodded his head with the person category. "Actress. Heroes. Politicians. Businessmen. Sports player." Luiz nodded with the sports player again. "Tennis. Volleyball. Baseball. Basketball." Kyle guessed and stopped with Basketball. "Kobe Bryant. Stephen Curry. James Harden. Michael Jordan." Kyle got the answer in less than ten minutes.
"The perks of being smart." Luna helplessly sighed. She knew Cayenne's family for a while now since she also started working in a café where Cayenne worked before. It was the same café that introduced Cayenne about other works that she can earn extra. Later on, when Luna started working in the hotel, she still kept in touch with Cayenne. Then, Cayenne got inside the hotel as well. Their connection didn't end. And she knew that Cayenne's brothers were very smart.
In three minutes, Kyle was able to guess six words.
