Chapter 169

When everyone saw that it was Alex turn to pick truth or dare, the group got excited . Since no matter what Alex picked either truth or dare, it would be quite the fun experience to see . The group waited for Alex to answer, Emily was then about to start the countdown but Alex spoke before her .

"I choose Dare . "

Alex reason for choosing dare was simple . Even though he could lie and tell false statements, Alex would somehow feel bad by doing that . He was actually feeling a bit bad, when Evangeline lied for him . So instead he chose dare, cause no matter what kind of thing this group of friends of his choose, he was sure that he will be able to do it .

Now here comes the problem, hearing Alex choose dare, each and every person present wanted to make Alex do something for them . This dare was a chance to be able to ask the nearly perfect Alex to do almost anything they could think off .

The moment each member looked at each others eyes they knew they were all thinking the same thing .

"Okay before we start this battle royale, how about we tell each other what we want Alex to do . " Emily suggested, since just staring at each other was getting them nowhere .

"I want to use the dare to make Alex carry me in a princess carry . " Evangeline spoke her true desire, which irritated Rachel a bit .

"That’s s a stupid dare, only you would be satisfied with that . " Rachel commented, in which Evangeline returned fire .

"Really? You think it’s stupid . Well I guess it is, coming from the princess that has always been carried in a princess carry by Alex . " Hearing Evangeline comment that out loud made Rachel blush in embarrassment . On the other hand, Evangeline wanted to slap herself after saying that comment, seeing Rachel’s reaction just irritated her . Not only that she just reminded herself that Rachel was carried multiple times by Alex in a princess carry .

"Okay ladies let’s stop fighting for awhile, alright? . . . Okay then so, Oliver how about you what do you want Alex to do?"

"Nothing much, I just want to see Alex punch something with his full strength . " Oliver couldn’t forget the time in the arcade, when Alex showed him that a person can become something beyond human . That frightening strength he displayed was etched into Oliver’s very soul, it was what made him even more motivated to become stronger still .

"Rachel how about you?"

"I want Alex . . . " Rachel was a bit embarrassed to tell what she wanted Alex to do . Then she remembered that even Evangeline directly told what she really wanted without fear or embarrassment, so she spoke . "I want Alex to give me a hug . "

"Oh, and you call my dare stupid, isn’t your dare the same thing?" Evangeline said in with a bit of ridicule .

"Well I did go through a traumatic experience, so don’t I deserve a hug?" Evangeline wasn’t able to argue with that kind of logic, but then she wanted to respond that she too had been in traumatic experience, so Alex should hug her too . Yet before she was able to say anything Emily cut in between Rachel and Evangeline again .

"Like I said no fighting . . . For now . . . So how about you Kei what do you want Alex to do?" Kei was also thinking about what kind of dare he wanted Alex to do . He hasn’t seen much, but he was sure Alex’s physical skill was beyond any high schooler . So that would make him very valuable in information gathering .

’Well I guess that’s too much, this is a simple game of dare after all . Well then, I’ll just say a classic dare, since I can’t think of anything else . ’

"How about asking him to kiss one of the girls?" When the others heard what kei said . They all looked at him as if they weren’t sure who this man was . Kei who was so decisive awhile ago, which shocked them, has now given them such a bold dare .

’I thought this guy was the normal one, but he was just hiding this side of him . So I guess no one in the Mercenary Club is normal . ’ Rachel sighed as he thought about Kei, while inadvertently admitting that she too was abnormal .

’So he was just a closet pervert, that changed into an open pervert . ’ Oliver had his own mess up idea about the situation as well .

’I need to revaluate Kei, he might get into trouble a bit later . ’ Emily who was usual in control of the situation was thinking of new plans .

"Hey guys, why did you stop talking? Are we going to tell Alex dare or not?" Kei was now really confused, because everyone suddenly turned silent, when he told what kind of dare he wanted to tell Alex .

’Wasn’t that a normal dare? I’m sure it was, I’ve never been invited to a sleepover before, but I read about it in different mediums . So I’m sure that was a normal dare . . . Or is it because this people aren’t normal that’s why they found it strange . Yes that must be it . . . ’ While Kei was trying to understand if what he said was right or wrong, Emily spoke .

"I vote for Kei’s idea . Any objections? . . . None, okay then . " Emily then faced faced Alex and told him what the dare was .

"Alex we dare you to kiss one of the girls present here . " The moment Emily said this, the area became tense, which frightened Kei a bit, and also made Oliver chuckle .

’Oh such is youth . ’ Oliver who was still doing his James Bourne persona thought so . Emily on the other hand finally realize the problem of that dare .

’Wait a minute, I forgot I’m a girl as well . . . . ’ Alex might actually pick her, because of some BS reason such as she was seating nearest to him .

Rachel and Evangeline on the other hand had all of their attention on Alex’s ever move . They were screaming in their minds, for Alex to pick them .

Alex on the other hand was also in quite a dilemma . He was about to pick Emily seeing as she was the closest person to him, but when he was about to do so, he felt an ominous pressure assail him . He then tried to move to Rachel, but the same ominous pressure assailed him . On the other hand when he tried to move to Evangeline, his instincts told him that was the wrong choice as well .

At this point Alex was confused as to who to pick between the three girls present . He was thinking as hard as he could .

’Why are you hesitating Alex should you already pick me?’ Rachel was confused by Alex’s hesitation .

’Alex is hesitating, is he actually going to pick me over Rachel? . . . or perhaps . . . ’ Evangeline on the other hand was looking at Emily .

’Damn it, I miscalculated . If Alex chooses me that will bring about a whole lot of other problems . I hope he at least he understands that choosing me is the wrong choice . ’ Emily who wasn’t really a firm believer of God was actually praying her hardest right now, hoping Alex wont pick her .

Alex who was thinking deeply finally figured out the solution to his problem . The dare was to kiss one of the girls present . That was it, there was no other rule . So Alex stood up from his spot, and headed towards the girl he picked .

When Alex did this, the tense atmosphere got even tenser .
