Chapter 75: Spin The Bottle

I bit my lower lips and stared at the ceiling still unable to sleep. The dream felt so real.

My heart was pounding and although I didn't want to see Gerard got now, my mind could not stop thinking about him.

I tossed and turned and hoped that I would eventually fall asleep but that never happened.

"You know what? Whatever." I got out of bed and went out of my room with only one destination in mind.

I walked straight to the living room and turned on the TV set but reduced the volume so that only I would be able to hear.

I sat comfortably and watched the show on TV. It was a comedy show and I checked what it was rated and it clearly showed pg.

It was so hilarious that I laughed so many times and even placed my hand over my mouth just so the sounds would reduce.

I continued to watch the show until I fell asleep.

The next morning, I didn't wake up early because I slept rather too late. I tossed and turned in the bed because of the light... Wait what? The light?

My eyes snapped open and I looked at the source of the light and realized that it was only the bulb in the room and not the sun.

I groaned and stood up from the bed reluctantly wondering how I was going to function properly without vitamin D.

I sighed and lazily walked into the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and stared at my image in the mirror.

'Damn Ayla, you look like a lost kid.' my head Hite hair was scattered and my eyes had dark bags.

I took a towel and went straight for a shower. 'I won't let this image damage my reputation.'

After my late shower, I went to the living room and the kitchen but Gerard was nowhere to be found.

I sighed and looked at the living room confused. 'How did I get to the room last night?' I thought to myself and only one name popped up in my head, Gerard.

Thinking of all the places he could possibly be, I went to his study and knocked on the door but got no response.

I've never been in there so I wasn't sure if it would be a good idea. After much thought, I opened the door and walked in.

My head went in before the rest of my body checking to see if he was there or not but there he was, on his chair lying on his desk.

I pursed my lips and wondered why he had to stress himself even on weekends.

I slowly closed the door behind me and went to his desk to wake him up and ask him to go to the room instead of sleeping on the desk.

'His neck must be hurting already.' I hesitated for a few seconds before finally patting his shoulder gentle but I didn't even pat twice before he stood up abruptly startling me. I moved a few meters away from him but not too far.

His eyes were red and it was only then that I knew I wasn't hallucinating the other night when I saw his eyes turn red.

"Ge... Gerard, it's me. Ayla." his brow was furrowed and his aura was deadly. I could feel the hair on my body stand but I didn't want to run.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. They turned back to their normal colour but his aura remained the same.

"What do you want?" unlike his usual warm voice, he sounded rather distant and cold towards me which led me back to the time where I feared him.

"I... Well... I..." I couldn't come up with a proper explanation because I forgot why I even came in the first place.

"You should go." this was the first time in a month that he was talking to me this way and I didn't know why I felt bad about it.

I nodded and turned around then left. I didn't just leave the room but the entire apartment.

"Hello, Kel... Where?" Kel called me and told me about a small Sunday gathering at a local restaurant not too far from the apartment and I figure that it would be best to take some air.

***

"Hi" I arrived at the restaurant shortly after and to my surprise, most of the college students were there. It seemed to be regular for all the students and this was more than cool to get my mind off my problems.

"Ayla..." Kel called out to me and she was looking so different from what I was expecting.

Usually, Kel would dress in baggy clothes with a terrible colour combination but today, she was wearing a black fitted trouser and yellow top. She was looking so... Different. And what's even weirder was that she wasn't wearing her glasses.

I almost didn't recognize Kel.

We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and for the first time outside the walls of Gerard's company, I took alcohol. This was my second time this week and it was all thanks to a specific person.

We discussed so many things and I didn't know when the crowd moved to where we were.

"Yo Ayla, what's your last name?" one of the many guys asked and I calmly responded, "Gregor."

There was a sudden silence in the bar but it only took a few seconds. "You don't seem to be from around here."

I looked around and shook my head. I didn't even know where this city was on the map.

"Enough with all the questions... Why don't we play a game?" everyone was super excited by the suggestions and agreed to it.

"Why don't you choose a game, Ayla? You are the newest student in the school after all." one of the students asked leaving me speechless.

I didn't know any games except shooting, martial arts and other awkward things which they might not find as regular.

"Why don't you help me out?" I replied buying my way out of the situation.

"Alright!" the boy responded enthusiastically. "Why don't we spin the bottle?" he suggested and many others agreed to it.

I have never played such a game so I wasn't sure what they meant. Were we simply supposed to 'spin the bottle'? That should be easy.

We were a total of thirteen students and because of that, another student objected to the game.

"We are too many to play spin the bottle, don't you think?" she explained and the boy that suggested the game made an amend in the game.

"How about we team up? That way we can take turns answering the questions." everyone seemed fine with this arrangement and quickly teamed up.

I turned to Kel but she was already taken by another student and she was the only person I knew well so it was rather impossible to find a partner.

Soon, there was a total of six teams with one left and that person was none other than me. I got a feeling that no one wanted to partner up with me but then again, I didn't really know them.

"Oh, you don't have a partner Ayla... What do we do now?" the boy wondered.

"I'll just watch you play..." I suggested but to my surprise, they were all against it.

"Why don't you just play alone. You will have to answer all the questions on your own." all the students were surprisingly happy about this idea.

It was a local restaurant so I guess playing games like this isn't a problem. They all went to the table and sat happily.

Just then, I got a call from Gerard but I wasn't in the mood to talk and I also couldn't take his call because of the noise so I just ended it and sent a text instead.

'Out with a friend, will be back soon.' was all she wrote before returning to the game.

"I guess we all know the game. We spin the bottle and whoever the tip points to when it stops spinning will have to answer some 'personal' questions." he enunciated the word person to make us know the gravity of the game.

"All answers should be true and if you can't answer, you would have to drink alcohol."

Everyone was somewhat excited about the game but I thought it was rather weird and could only hope that the bottle never stops in my direction.

"So, who spins the bottle first?" the boy asked and everyone pointed to him.

"Fine, I'll do the honour of spinning it." he spun the bottle and it almost got to my side but stopped on a boy by my side.

"

Justin, hmmm... What is your darkest secret?" the boy named Justin didn't waste any time and gulped down the alcohol.

"Dude, that's why it's called a secret.." everyone laughed and Justin spun the bottle but I didn't get too fortunate this time around.
