Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 76
Mitch hit the button, and the silver needle started to spin rapidly. The first one to be picked was a young woman I didn’t recognize. She was sitting right. next to Mitch. I guessed she might have been brought by Rhea.
“It’s me!” She waved her hand excitedly and then looked around us, thinking about who to pick.
Finally, Cooper got chosen. He picked ‘dare”.
“Go find a guy you don’t know, and tell him you think his lips are se xy”
Upon hearing this, Cooper looked troubled. The rest of us cracked up. Asking him to do this was almost like asking him to die.
He glared at the woman and said, “I’ll drink!”
Then he downed a glass of booze.
Next, it was Cooper’s turn to hit the start button. This round picked Russel.
Russel, wearing a white sweater and looking a bit cold, chose “truth”.
Cooper smirked. “Hey, Russel, are you a virgin?”
We were all shocked by this question. Russel was indeed an exception on his Facebook. We had never seen him have any intimate relations with women.
But that might just be a facade. Some people hide their real faces very deep. Who knows if he has ever had bedmates?
Even Neil seemed interested in him.
I thought Russel would choose to drink, but he stayed silent for a few seconds then nodded. “Yes.”

His answer caused a commotion. Some women immediately lit up, their eyes full of desire locked on him, as if they couldn’t wait to pluck this pure flower.
I was right. He was a genuinely good guy.
The silver needle started to spin again, finally slowing down and stopping on me. I sighed and looked into Russel’s eyes. “Truth.”
“Do you have interest in any other men besides Neil?” Russel slowly asked.
The lively room instantly fell into silence. Neil’s gaze landed on me. I couldn’t tell his emotions, but I could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere, as if there was a beast hiding in his heart, ready to tear me apart if I said the wrong thing.
I never expected Russel to ask such a crazy question.
“Can I change it to dare?” I hesitated and asked.
“Sure,” Russel smiled slightly, “Choose any man in the room besides Neil to kiss.”
Holy c rap!
What’s wrong with Russel today? He seemed to have a grudge against me!
Neil hadn’t said anything, but his aura made everyone in the room tense. He was now looking at Russel. The two men’s eyes met. I seemed to smell a tense atmosphere.
What’s wrong with them? Are they already starting to vie for Bonnie?
Don’t use me as a pawn! I had a hard time being reincarnated once, and I don’t want to get involved in complex competition.
After a few seconds of silence, I picked up the bullet cup closest to me and gulped it down. The fiery alcohol slid from my mouth to my throat, then all into my stomach. I couldn’t help sticking out my tongue.
Mitch started shouting to continue, and the needle spun for a few rounds. Everyone was having a great time.
Stella was the craftiest. Every time she had the initiative, she would choose Mitch. Mitch was almost crying. His face, like a puppy’s, was full of
resentment.
When Rhea chose me, I had already had three or four drinks. The drinks tonight were strong. If I couldn’t handle it, I might have been drunk already. “Take out what’s in your pocket and give it to Cooper to use.” Rhea smiled at me. I didn’t know why, but I felt a kind of hostility.
This command had been given by others too. Women usually have lipstick, perfume, foundation, and such in their pockets. Having another man use these things was also a kind of flirtatious act.
Because of Stella’s targeting, Mitch had been made up by the other women. He now looked like an old lady.
“I’ll drink-Twas about to continue drinking.
“That’s not fun. You’ve only been chosen four times tonight, but you choose to drink every time. What’s the point of this game?’ Rhea was unhappy. Stella glared at her, “What’s wrong with that? Isn’t the rule that people who can’t do it can drink?”
Alicia and Barbara also retorted, “Exactly. Who said you can’t replace it with a drink?”
I could feel some people were not happy. Always drinking really wasn’t a good idea.
My phone was on the table. At this moment, the only thing in my pocket was a box of condoms.
